Ricky Starks VS Juice Robinson!
After getting past the Jericho Appreciation Society, The Absolute wanted to move on to big things, i.e. championship gold. Instead, he got Rock Hard Robinson! But Juice played cat ‘n’ mouse in Missouri, leading to this fight in Long Island! Will Juice still be hard? Or will Starks break him down?
WAIT! Is that Jay White?! IT IS!! And then Juice shoves the ref down to go after Starks! Starks shoulders into Juice first, then hurries in to throw hands!

White gives Starks a kiss good night, is Bullet Club going to take over AEW?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
Tony Schiavone brings up last week, Adam Cole’s big in-ring return and win over Daniel Garcia, and then Jericho walking out to the ring. What was Jericho’s reason for going out there? Jericho says he has nothing against Adam Cole. Cole is a tremendous talent and a huge part of AEW, and Jericho is happy that Cole is back after nine months. Jericho is always happy to see someone return from serious injury. Cole had a great match against Garcia and he won. Britt Baker goes out there, Cole’s got the girl. The streamers fly, and Cole’s got the celebration. But it kept going on and on and on and on.
Meanwhile, Daniel Garcia, “one of my right hand men in the Jericho Appreciation Society, and one of the greatest talents of this generation or any other, is lying in the ring as you continue to celebrate. You punked him out, Cole. You made him look like a piece of trash. And I had to put an end to it. It’s unacceptable, and I had to stop your disrespect.” But then someone clears their throat and walks in. Keith Lee was passing by and he heard Jericho talking about disrespect. But since Keith’s been here, Mr. Jericho, you are the poster boy for disrespect. Now, Keith won’t harp on the things Jericho has done to show this, but Keith has had a couple wars with Adam Cole.
And while Keith may not be particularly fond of Cole, he does respect him. Jericho, perhaps, next week in Milwaukee, will learn a thing or two about respect. Keith gets in Jericho’s face and Jericho backs off. Will the Limitless One humble Le Champion?
AEW World Trios Championships: The House of Black VS Best Friends!
The darkness creeps in, and gold is about to shine! Malakai Black, Brody King and Buddy Matthews knew Orange Cassidy’s virtue would be his downfall, and quite literally used Trent Beretta & Chuck Taylor against him. Will Best Friends be left in the dark? Or will the trios titles become Freshly Squeezed?

A battle truly fitting of two great champions! Hayter shakes Riho’s hand in respect, will Riho have to fight her way back up to another shot? Who will #HayterHitHard next?
Backstage interview with The Outcasts.
Renee Paquette is with Saraya, Toni Storm & Ruby Soho, and says we saw Hayter successfully defend the AEW Women’s World Championship. Soho leads the Outcasts in a sarcastic congratulations and applause. But Hayter shouldn’t get too attached to that title. The Outcasts are here to bring some “much needed control back to the women’s division.” And they are gonna do that when one of them becomes champion. Renee points out there is only one title and three of them, how are they- Saraya cuts Renee off there to tell her to stop stirring the pot. They will cross that bridge when they get to it.
Storm adds that who gets it isn’t even the concern. What’s important that Hayter loses the title. Renee thanks them for their time, Saraya shows off the new merch shirt. Will either the Revolution, the Runaway or the Lightning strike down the Hayter?
The Jericho Appreciation Society is on stage.
Matthew Menard, Angelo Parker and Jake Hager, specifically, are here, and Menard asks, “Do you wanna know… what makes Daddy Magic’s nipples hard~?” Fans oddly do. “How about the fact that The Acclaimed is gonna be joining the Jericho Appreciation Society, the epitome of sports… enner-tay-ners!” But speaking of, here come The Acclaimed! Max Caster of course has the mic, so “Yo! Listen! Platinum on the mic, I’m nice with row rhymin’. Damn it feels good to be home on Long Island!
“You want us to join, but we can’t, tho. Jericho’s full of more sh*t than George Santos! You lookin’ so strange there. Lookin’ like you hang with the Cocaine Bear! We got the whole place sizzlin’. JAS stands for Just Acclaimed Scissorin’!” Bowens then gest the mic to say, “LOOONG ISLAAAAND~! The Acclaimed have arrived! SCISSOR ME-” But Parker has it cut off! They want The Acclaimed to come back over to the stage so they can clarify something! Because by the sound of it and that rap, ol’ Cool Hand Ange thinks they wanna fight! Together! And that’s a great idea! They got a match for Rampage, 8 Man Tag! Because everyone loves the Jericho Acclaimed Society!
“NOW SCISSOR ME, DADDY MATT!” Billy Gunn says no, hold on. No. “Scissoring should only be done by professionals, so Anthony, let’s show them how this is done.” And… “SCISSOR ME, DADDY ASS~!” AND HE DOES~!! Fans fire up, but is that match on Rampage now going to be 2v2?
MJF visited the Town of Oyster Bay Town Hall.
“This place doesn’t just feel like home, this place is home. And it means the world to me that I now have the key to that home. It means everything to me.” Oyster Bay town supervisor, Joseph Saladino, says that if you want something in life, you work hard for it, give 110% and you never let go of your dream. MJF’s dream has come true, and that makes him a Town of Oyster Bay hero. MJF says if you wanna be at the pinnacle of this business of professional wrestling, the AEW World Championship is the belt to win, and he is the guy holding that belt, so he is the guy to beat. But nobody’s beating him, because he’s a Long Islander, and you can’t beat Long Islanders.
And now, it’s MJF Day!
There’s a live jazz band playing as Justin Roberts gives the introductions to a “wonderful new show. A man, and his music. The music of Mike Rogers and his Great Band.” The LED tron rises like a curtain to reveal the band as they play. “And the man is M! J! F!” MJF walks out and Long Island erupts with cheers! MJF goes to the mic, and as the graphic says, “The Pride of Long Island” welcomes them to his day. He is the Host with the Most, the Devil Himself, Maxwell Jacob Friedman. And right now, they are here to celebrate the most important day of them all, MJF Day. They’re celebrating it live in “the most magical place in the world, known as LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK!”
And it’s so magical here that when it rains, it doesn’t rain water, it rains… pennies from heaven. Hit it, Mike! If you can’t tell, MJF’s about to sing a very upbeat rendition of Pennies from Heaven. MJF even adlibs with Adam the saxophonist. “I knew I’d get ya! Long Island, clap for me, baby!” Fans get into it as MJF struts around on the ramp. MJF keeps the show going as he gets in the ring, where the AEW World title sits on a podium and there’s another one with “Congrats MJF” on it. Fans are thunderous for the musical number, and then Justin introduces Saladino. Fans are a bit torn on him, though.
Saladino introduces himself but MJF has him hold on to tell the fans this is a great guy. Saladino’s given MJF the Key to Long Island, so don’t screw this up for him. Fans still boo but Saladino says that Max Friedman, “you are the Pride of Long Island!” Fans agree with that. “We love the way you wear Long Island so proudly on your sleeve. Max, you are a world champion, and our hometown champ! So it is my distinct honor and privilege to present you, Mr. MJF, with the Key to Long Island!” Fans cheer as MJF looks at the big orange key with the letters “NY” forming the handle. Saladino says MJF deserves it. Isn’t he right?
Finally, Saladino is here to announce that April 5th is officially MJF Day in the Town of Oyster Bay! And also, the key they presented him before turned out to be a little below MJF’s standard. So they made a much bigger one, just for MJF! Let’s hear it for the hometown hero, MJF! MJF says, “Give it up for Joe, huh? Give it up for Joe!” Fans boo, but MJF says he’s talking now, so what’s going on? Fans cheer, and MJF says obviously, this is a huge honor, and if he’s being completely honest, some would say, “You Deserve It! Clap clap, clap clap clap.” Fans echo that for MJF and he smiles.
There are people out there who don’t deserve it! Like Sammy Guevara and Darby Allin, and worst of all, Jungle Boy. Fans boo those names, and MJF says the only thing Jungle Boy’s ever gonna have is “a girlfriend with a wandering eye and a tiny little penis. It’s true, it’s true. But right now, I’d like to tell you people a quick little story that I hope you find inspiring about my childhood here in Long Island, New York. And no, this ain’t lore, this is my life. This ain’t a villain origin story, because I’m MJF 24/7, baby.
“Now, when I was a kid, and still to this day, I suffer from a learning disability called Attention Deficit Disorder. And yeah, let’s clap it up for ADD, huh? Who’s got it?” Fans chant for “A D D! A D D!” MJF smiles, and says that obviously, “growing up with ADD had its disadvantages at times. No matter how hard I would try to focus in school, it just wouldn’t happen for me. Now there was one teacher in eighth grade who just wasn’t sympathetic. Her name was Mrs. Benedict.” Fans boo her and MJF says just wait, he’s not even through with her. But Mrs. Benedict would pounce on MJF like a lion.
She would wait for him to lose concentration, and she would say, “Maxwell, answer this question on the board.” MJF would say that he doesn’t know the answer, and she would laugh at him. And then she would say, “See class? Don’t be like Mr. Friedman.” This would happen every single day in school, and on the last day of school, Mrs. Benedict would pull him aside, and… Can they raise the volume on the mic so MJF doesn’t have to hunch over like a shmuck? Can you hear him now? “Yes!” Can they? “YES!” Okay. So, as he was saying, on the last day of school, Mrs. Benedict would pull MJF aside, and she said, “Maxwell, where does your brain go during my class that you can’t pay attention?”
And MJF’s answer was simple: Professional wrestling. Because MJF daydreamed about being world champion, and Mrs. Benedict told him, “The probability of that happening is slim to none.” Fans boo Mrs. Benedict more, but MJF tells her that her math was a bit off. Because MJF just got the key to Long Island, because this is MJF Day here forevermore, and because he is the reigning, defending, AEW World Heavyweight Champion!! Fans cheer that! MJF says he has a lesson for the fans: Don’t be like Mrs. Benedict. And by that, he means, “Don’t be a stupid b*tch.” Fans really cheer that!
MJF continues by saying if you’re a Long Islander kid who struggles in school, and he only means Long Islanders because he don’t speak to disgusting poorers. If you’re a Long Islander struggling, and people are telling you that you can’t accomplish your dreams, then just know that if you bust your ass, you can be anything you wanna be. Except one thing: MJF! HAHAHA! Because he is Maxwell Jacob Friedman, and he is better than you, and YOU KNOW IT! Long Island still cheers, and MJF picks up his belt to leave. MJF still has the mic, though, and he asks the fans if they want an encore. They do!
Wait, do they want an encore? “YES!” Do you want an encore?! Wait, who hits those cymbals? MJF is furious! They practiced this for months! How could this guy get this wrong!? The cymbalist apologizes, but then surprise! It’s JUNGLE BOY IN DISGUISE!! MJF is busy apologizing to Long Island, and JB TACKLES him! Fans boo as JB Rains down fists on their champion! MJF turns it around, but then JB turns it back around! JB CHOKES MJF, but MJF turns it back around! Security and producers rush out to stop this but fans want to “Let Them Fight!” But here comes Sammy Guevara! Fans boo even more as the Spanish God now gets his turn in the #1 contenders race.
Sammy looks at the belt on the ground, picks it up, and MJF is even angrier now! Sammy holds the belt up, but will he even make it to pole position?
Sammy Guevara VS Komander!
The bell rings and Sammy KNEES Komander out of the ring! Sammy builds speed while fans boo, and Sammy slides, only for Komander to dodge! Komander comes back, Sammy jumps the slide to ASAI MOONSAULT! Direct hit and Sammy brags that he is the next champion! Sammy puts Komander in, fans chant, “You Still Suck!” Sammy soaks it up, goes up the corner, and he leaps, into a SUPERKICK! Fans fire up as Komander puts Sammy in a drop zone. Komander goes up, tightrope walks and SHOOTING STAR PRESSES! Cover, TWO!! Sammy survives and bails out, clutching his ribs.
Fans fire up with Komander as he goes up another corner. Komander tightrope walks all 20 feet to the other corner, for the FLYING- JUMP KNEE!! Sammy takes Komander out of the air and Dynamite goes picture in picture!
Sammy slides in, soaks up the heat, then he spins and poses. Sammy’s cocky as ever as he does mat angels. The ring count climbs, Komander gets in at 5 of 10, but Sammy kicks him right back out. Sammy goes out after Komander, drags him up and brings him around to CHOKE him against barriers! Then Sammy CLUBS Komander, brings him around the way, and RAMS him into more barriers. Sammy swaggers, he stands on the barriers to soak up more heat, and then goes back to Komander. Sammy puts Komander in the ring, then taunts the fans. Sammy goes in the ring, brings Komander around, and stomps him down.
Sammy continues to swagger, then he has the Jericho cocky cover. TWO, and Komander grabs at Sammy. Sammy brings Komander up, and Komander CHOPS him! Sammy DECKS Komander! Komander flounders to a corner, Sammy brings him up against ropes and CHOPS! Komander falls down and Sammy digs his knees in at the ropes. The ref reprimands, Sammy lets off, and he brings Komander up. Sammy snap suplexes, covers, TWO! Komander hangs in there but Sammy sits him up into a chinlock. Sammy thrashes Komander around and Dynamite returns to single picture.
Fans rally, Komander endures and fights his way up. Sammy shakes his head, we see Jungle Boy watching backstage with security staff keeping an eye on him, and perhaps an eye out for MJF. Sammy KNEES Komander low, suplexes him, but Komander throws knees! Sammy still goes to ropes, but Komander lands on the apron to GAMANGIRI Sammy away! Komander springboards to FLYING POISON-RANA! Cover, TWO!! Sammy survives and scrambles away! Fans fire up for Komander as he goes up the corner. Komander tightrope walks again, for the SUPER MOONSAULT! Direct hit and fans lose their minds!
Komander puts Sammy in, salutes, and then goes up the corner again. Tightrope SHOOTING STAR, but he has to bail out as Sammy moves! Komander BOOTS Sammy to the floor! Komander builds speed, fans fire up, but Sammy slides in! Komander tiger feints to SPRINGBOARD PHOENIX SPLASH!! Cover, TWO!! Komander pushes Sammy down into the drop zone and fans fire up again. Komander climbs, tightrope walks again, to SHOOTING STARÂ onto knees! Sammy covers, TWO!! Komander survives but Sammy slashes his throat! Torture rack, “I’m your next world heavyweight champion, Max!” GO TO- NO, Komander cradles! TWO!!
Sammy SUPERKICKS! Komander staggers to a corner, Sammy runs in, but Komander puts him on the apron. Sammy ROCKS Komander, climbs up, but Komander GAMANGIRIS! Komander staggers his way to the adjacent corner, and he climbs up again. Darby watches from the rafters just like Sting used to do, and Komander tightrope walks again, but Sammy intercepts with a FLYING CUTTER!! Sammy hurries to torture rack, GO TO HOSPITAL!! Cover, Sammy wins!
Winner: Sammy Guevara, by pinfall
Fans boo but the Spanish God gets a win and keeps pace in the race! Tony Schiavone goes to the ring to interview Sammy, while we see Darby, JB and even MJF are watching. Tony says Sammy wins again, proving he is to be considered for a title shot. Sammy takes the mic to say, “Hey, look, Tony! I just did something the world champion doesn’t do: WRESTLE!” Fans boo but Sammy has a point… “Honestly, what was that s*it I was just watching? American Idol?” Fans tell Sammy to STFU but Sammy tells Max that he came out here and said he beat every single one of the Pillars. But let’s be honest, when MJF and Sammy got in the ring, what actually happened?
Sammy wants us to go back: Jacksonville in 2021, the main event of Dynamite. Sammy had MJF beat! Until another person MJF was using came out and helped him. MJF didn’t beat Sammy, Shawn Spears and a steel chair did, you b*tch! Fans boo but again, Sammy has a point. “So if we’re supposed to be the Four Pillars, the four people that’ve been building up this company since day one, and will continue to build it to higher heights, it’s safe to say your side wasn’t built by you. Your side was built by the people you tricked to get here. You lied, you cheated, you manipulated your way to the top. And honestly, Tony, I’m almost jealous of it.
“But Max, you’re finding out what I already know: that I would hate who I was if I wasn’t myself getting to the top. Because who the hell are you, Max? You were Cody’s friend, and then you were not. You were Tony’s friend, and then you’re not. You were in the Inner Circle, then you’re not. You were in the Pinnacle, then you’re not. You’re in The Firm, then you’re not. Max, you did the one thing that I will never do: you sold your soul to be a Pillar here. And that’s why as far as my side, and how this was built, I built this sh*t brick by brick, match after match, moment after moment after moment after moment! I poured my heart and my soul into this place!”
The fans keep booing but Sammy says he doesn’t care. They can boo or cheer, he’s not going anywhere. Sammy loves AEW! He’s not using this place to go anywhere else. This place has given him so much more than he could ever ask for. He met his wife, Tay Melo, here. He won titles and main evented PPVs, so he’ll be damned if “some rich b*tch from sh*tty Long Island, of all places, tear everything down with his bidding war of 2024. So screw Jungle Boy! Screw Darby Allin! And screw MJF! Because Sammy Guevara is your world heavyweight champion!” Sammy drops the mic and MJF seethes. Will the Spanish God earn that shot against the Devil of AEW?
FTW Championship: Hook VS Ethan Page w/ Matt Hardy & Isiah Kassidy!
The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil has been dealing with The Firm for months now, but has almost cleared them all out. He beat Moriarty, Morrissey, Hardy, and even Stokely, but now he is dealing with All Ego. Will Ethan be the one to #SendHook home with a loss? Or will nothing stop Hook’s undefeated streak?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see Long Island’s other hometown hero in action!
The bell rings and Hook circles with Ethan. The fans rally up, Ethan talks trash on Hook then talks trash on Long Island. Ethan takes a swing, but Hook catches him for a T-BONE SUPLEX! Ethan bails out but Hook pursues. Ethan RAMS Hook into the apron, then RAMS him into steel steps! Ethan talks more trash, then whips Hook into the POST! Fans boo but Ethan soaks it all up. Ethan says, “This is your guy right here? I’m winning, a-hole!” Ethan then puts Hook in the ring, stalks him, and Ethan says this one’s for Hardy. Ethan copies Hardy’s dancing around, kicks and TWIST- NO, Hook slips free!
Hook kicks low, and he reels Ethan in, for a TWIST OF FATE!! Fans fire up but Kassidy gets on the apron. The ref stops him, but Hook stares Kassidy down. Kassidy argues with the ref, keeps him and Hook distracted, and Ethan grabs the belt! But then Hardy grabs the other end! They tug-o-war and Ethan doesn’t understand! Hardy CLOBBERS Ethan with the belt!! fans fire up and Kassidy backs off. Hook gets Ethan with REDRUM!!! Ethan fades out, fans chant “DELETE! DELETE! DELETE!” with Hardy, and Ethan is DONE! Hook wins!!
Winner: Hook, by submission (still FTW Champion)
#HardyParty smiles as they leave, they suckered Ethan in! Was this what that wink on Rampage was about? Hook fist bumps Hardy & Kassidy, maybe the hook was in! Will Stokely and the rest of The Firm have something to say about this?
Nigel McGuiness is backstage!
We saw Nigel rejoin ROH on Friday for Supercard of Honor, and now he is also #AllElite as part of the interviewer staff. As such, he is with Tony Khan for the huge announcement. There have been moments in Nigel’s life he could never imagine, and for him, what is coming is one of those moments. Khan thanks Nigel for that, and is also so excited for this. “Five years ago, before AEW was founded, four pioneers, The Young Bucks, Cody Rhodes, and Kenny Omega, put on a show called All In. It was the biggest independent wrestling show of all time, and it got interest from around the world.
“Now flash five years later, AEW is going to make our debut in London, England, Sunday, August 27th, for the first-ever AEW All In! It’s going to be one of the biggest shows in the history of the company, AEW All In, August 27th, in London, England. AEW’s debut in London is a huge event, we’re both very excited about it. And now, here to announce the site of AEW All In London is a man cut from the same cloth as those visionary pioneers five years ago.” It’s ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!
And Cole gets right to it: “August 27th, AEW All In, is coming to London Wembley Stadium. We’re gonna celebrate 100 years of Wembley Stadium, 100 years of Warner Brothers! And together, with the AEW fans in London, AEW All In, we celebrate Wembley Stadium, baybay!” A historic stadium, a historic moment, what history will be made in AEW’s first-ever UK show?
Six Man Tag: Blackpool Combat Club VS ???
The American Dragon returned to shock the world by siding with the new, more brutal Moxley, Claudio & Yuta! Will the Maniac, Swiss Superman and Decoder look to begin BCC’s dominance in the Trios Division?
The BCC takes their time making their entrance while Dynamite is picture in picture. Then they rush the ring to CLOBBER all their opponents! One falls out of the ring, leaving Moxley and Claudio to mug “The Dime Piece,” and Yuta goes after the third man. The ref reprimands but Moxley whips Dime so that Claudio can POP-UP UPPERCUT! Yuta keeps giving CHOPS to his opponent, but then Claudio & Moxley DOUBLE HIP TOSS that guy across the ring! Yuta keeps on the CHOPS while Moxley & Claudio keep the others out of the ring. The bell finally rings, this match has officially begun!
Claudio & Moxley drag the biggest man up at the ramp, for an ASSISTED PILEDRIVER!! Yuta rains down forearms, then he roars as he circles the man. Yuta gets the leg for a HALF CRAB! Dime Piece returns, BOOTS Yuta, but Yuta just glares at him! Moxley grabs Dime for a SLEEPER! Claudio brings Dime around to RAM him into the corner! But the third man gets Yuta in a waistlock, only for Yuta to smirk and shake his head. Yuta switches and GERMAN SUPLEXES the third man down! Then he rains down HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS!! The third man is a ragdoll as Yuta puts on the HAMMERLOCK CROSSFACE! The guy taps, the BCC wins!
Winners: Blackpool Combat Club, by submission
The ref reprimands as Yuta isn’t letting go! Yuta lets go when Claudio says, and then Moxley RAMS Dime into railing! Claudio puts a CROSSFACE on the third man! Bryan gets the mic and clears his throat to say, “You see, I was at home with my family, and I love my family. You know who else I love? I love Jon Moxley and him ripping at people’s mouths.” He’s literally doing that to one of the opponents right now! Bryan says he also loves Claudio Castagnoli and how he destroys people. And he also loves Yuta, even if he’s being a little sh*thead! And do you know what else Bryan loves? He loves pro-wrestling!
Bryan asks if these guys they just beat look like professionals. The fans say, “NO!” Right, they look like guys the EVPs might’ve hired, when they’re nothing but a bunch of amateurs! IMPOTENT AMATEURS! And as he looks around the building tonight, Bryan thinks the four members of the BCC are the only pro-wrestlers here tonight. But wait! Here comes Hangman Page! The Cowboy storms right down to the ring and Bryan says, “Oh, boy! Here comes another amateur!” Hangman gets right in the ring and Bryan eggs him on. Hangman fires off on Moxley, but he gets mugged 3v1! Bryan hangs back as the rest beat Hangman against the ropes!
Bryan calls Hangman an amateur, and then Claudio rains down forearms! “You wanna know what a professional is? Claudio is a professional! You wanna know what a professional is? Mox is a professional!” And now Moxley rains down forearms! “You wanna see what a professional is? Wheeler is a professional!” And now Yuta gets his turn! Bryan loves these men! And y’know what? Hangman has NO ONE who loves him! Where’s anyone coming out from the back? NO ONE is coming out to save Hangman, because no one loves him! In fact, they don’t even know what love is! Fans boo as the BCC all just stomp away!
Bryan says he knows what love is. In fact, when he was at home, he was teaching his kids a few things. He has a screwdriver?! Bryan says he taught the kids how to fix stuff around the house. “And the house that is AEW needs to be fixed up, from all these amateurs!” The BCC drags Hangman up as Bryan keeps shouting, “AMATEURS!” Bryan looks at the screwdriver, then at Hangman’s face. Bryan DIGS IT INTO HANGMAN’S FACE!! Maybe even the eyes!! Fans boo but Bryan says, “Hangman is an amateur. Like I said, we are the only real professional wrestlers in this building tonight! We are the only real professional wrestlers in AEW tonight!
“Hell, from what I’ve seen this week, we are the only real professional wrestlers in all of damn America tonight!” Fans are torn, as Bryan’s brutal methods and bold statements are in complete contrast. Will Hangman even be able to see after what Bryan did to him?
BREAKING NEWS for Rampage!
Anna Jay called her out last week, and was watching tonight, the Queenslayer gets her match with Julia Hart! Plus, after the controversy of Hardy helping Hook, Ethan gets one more shot at the FTW Championship! Will All Ego be better prepared now that he doesn’t have Hardy behind him? Plus, The Acclaimed are still having to go through with the 8 Man Tag team-up with Menard & Parker! Will teaming with the JAS convince Caster & Bowens to accept the offer after all? Then, after sending out warnings to Keith Lee, Swerve Strickland says he has an announcement. What will the head of Mogul Affiliates have to say now?
Meanwhile, to keep up with Jungle Boy and Sammy Guevara, Darby Allin is taking on #TAIGASTYLE, Lee Moriarty! Will the Relentless One be able to keep pace with Jack Perry and the Spanish God? And lastly, after weeks of attempting legal action, a sit-down meeting has been arranged between Jade Cargill and Taya Valkyrie. What agreement will come about from the TBS Champion talking with La Wera Loca?
And BREAKING NEWS for Battle of the Belts 6!
Immediately following Rampage will be an hour of all title matches! First, it would seem LFI did have their eyes on gold: the AEW International Championship! Dralistico takes on Orange Cassidy, will the Prince of Silver & Gold finally have some gold in AEW? Then, regardless of how negotiations go with Taya, Jade is going to defend her TBS Championship against the young and rising star, Billie Starkz! And the NEW ROH World Tag Team Champions, the Lucha Brothers, have their first defense against QT Marshall and the AEW TNT Champion, “Powerhouse” Hobbs! Hobbs has already beaten Rey Fenix and Pentagon separately, will he be able to beat them at the same time?
AEW World Tag Team Championships, Titles VS Careers: The Gunns VS FTR!
These are the highest stakes you could have in a tag title match. Austin & Colten didn’t want to take this match, until Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler put the one thing on the line they had to give: their careers here in AEW. Will the Ass Boys of all people be the ones to end the All Elite legacy of #7StarFTR? Or will Dax & Cash prove that they are #TopGuys then, now and forever?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and it is all on the line in the main event!
The teams sort out, Colten starts against Cash, and fans taunt the “ASS~ BOYS~!” Cash and Colten circle, but Cash is wary of Austin.

Colten staggers and shakes that off, and he ties up with Cash. Colten headlocks but Cash powers out, only for Colten to run him over. Things speed up, but Colten runs Cash over again.

Cash scares Austin off, then brings Colten up. Cash puts Colten in, but Austin grabs his foot! Dax protests but Colten DROPKICKS Cash down! Fans boo but the ref keeps Dax in his corner.
Austin puts Cash in, fans rally up but Colten bumps Cash off buckles. Tag to Austin, the Gunns body shot, knee lift and LARIAT! Colten covers, TWO! Dax was ready but he goes back to his corner.

Colten plays innocent, Cash lunges in but Austin is on him! Austin stomps and CLUBS away, then tags Colten. The Gunns mug Cash, Colten CHOPS Cash down. Colten taunts Dax, but Cash CHOPS back! Colten CLUBS Cash down, stomps him, then tags Austin. Austin stays between Cash and Dax, then DECKS Cash! Austin drags Cash over, tags Colten back in, and the Gunns mug Cash again. Colten wraps on a chinlock and grinds Cash down.

TOP GUYS WIN! They are TWO-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions, and they are still All Elite! Mark Briscoe is even here to celebrate with his friends! FTR is here to stay, will they always be the Top Guys in AEW?
My Thoughts:
A great AEW, lots of great surprises, and honestly, this is the one time where AEW took jabs at WWE and I feel like it was warranted. First, this had more surprises than the Raw After Mania under the returning Vince McMahon. Jay White was either going to AEW or WWE, and his decision was kinda made for him. White and Juice beat down Starks, so Starks has been dragged into another story against a faction. A shame for Starks, but Starks taking on White is going to be great stuff. Christian Cage’s return was quick, and didn’t have dialogue, but Luchasaurus also returning is cool stuff. Just not sure what they’re gonna do right now with most titles spoken for.
Great title matches, something else Raw After Mania didn’t even try to do. The Trios title match was awesome stuff, but I had a feeling the House of Black was going to win. As great as Best Friends are, the House’s reign wasn’t going to end just yet, and Cassidy isn’t going to be a double champion so soon. I do like that LFI is still involved in both AEW and ROH, and Cassidy VS Dralistico for Battle of the Belts 6 is going to be great stuff. In fact, so will the ROH World Tag Team Championship match. I appreciate the continuity that Hobbs having beat both Fenix & Penta means he gets a tag title shot, but pretty sure that means QT takes the loss.
Awesome match from Hayter VS Riho, but naturally, Hayter won as there’s still a lot for her to do as champ. As such, The Outcasts had a good promo establishing that they’re all coming for Hayter. Honestly, Hayter should just face each one in turn. Granted, Hayter already beat Storm 1v1, and beat the other two in a Triple Threat, which she could/should point out in a promo, but she might as well face them all again until they’re ready to Blood & Guts. Which they need to do, why else make the Women’s Division choose sides? And great little moment between JAS and Acclaimed, though clearly JAS isn’t getting it. Maybe they’ll see The Acclaimed don’t care in that 8 Man Tag.
Great stuff for the MJF Day segment. I’m surprised it’s been this long since MJF’s had a musical number in AEW. He nailed it, fans loved it, and I like that JB was in disguise to attack him. The fans didn’t like that, so this kinda distorts the Face-Heel dynamic for anyone unfamiliar with AEW. JB seems to be the frontrunner in terms of the title chase, with MJF saving him for last and JB getting after MJF. But Sammy had a great part to play, with just an awesome match with Komander, and even a great promo to follow where he got to call MJF out. Now we just need Darby to do the same and then the possibilities will really be endless. Any of the three could face MJF and have an awesome match at Double or Nothing.
Then, awesome news that AEW is going to London and bringing the “All In” name back. Can’t wait to see what happens there. Great FTW Championship, and I love that Hardy chose this moment to spring his trap on Ethan. Though, it seems we’re getting this again, though maybe with Hardy in Hook’s corner, not Ethan’s. Hopefully, Hook wins that one, too, and it is revealed that Hardy & Kassidy are now free of The Firm. Great stuff out of the BCC, and I find it kinda funny when we don’t get any of the names of the jobbers. Bryan’s promo was great stuff, he was bringing back a lot of what made his “Champion of the Earth” Heel persona in WWE so great. Him taking a screwdriver to Hangman’s face was nuts, though. The Elite didn’t show up, but maybe they respond next week.
And an awesome main event with the Titles VS Careers match. This match in and of itself could represent the audible FTR called in real-life. If HHH was still in charge of the WWE, FTR might’ve lost so they could go back to WWE. But seeing as Vince slithered his way back into creative, FTR won to be champions again and stay in AEW. Though to be fair, FTR winning was probably the better option no matter what was going on in the WWE. FTR beat the Gunns to get revenge for before, and they can face any number of teams in this new title reign.
My Score: 9/10

Jack Perry arrives.
The Scapegoat arrives in his black bus, but he also leaves the engine running while he heads inside. What is the twisted TNT Champion planning for tonight?
Daniel Garcia VS Johnny TV w/ MXM Collection!
Speaking of the TNT Championship, it will be Red Death challenging Jack Perry for that gold. But before he becomes the Face of TNT, can he prove to Johnny and the world that he is #TVReady?

Lio Rush speaks.
“I am sick and tired of feeling the way that I’ve been feeling lately. Lost and confused on where I stand with the people that surrounded me. It’s really hard to know exactly who you are when you lose the matches that mean the most. But then I take a deep breath, I look at my watch, and I remember that I’m the Man of the Hour. I came to AEW to collect titles. I’m a 30-year-old piece of gold, and I pray that the people I call friends get on the same page. Because it’s only a matter of time before Lio Rush is rushing to the top.”

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

And look, I got a lot to say, and on Wednesday, you’re gonna hear it all, but I just wanna leave you with this: Max, you walk around here thinking you’re smarter than everybody, you’re better than everybody. I don’t think you realize what you’ve gotten yourself into.
“I am the Messiah of the Backbreaker. I am a damn wrestling legend! And when Full Gear ends, you’re gonna realize that I’m better than you, and you know it!” Roddy is ready to throw it all back in MJF’s face, but will the Wolf of Wrestling have a contingency plan?

It’s like Mexicans being managed by Jake the Snake! I would’ve called the committee, but you’re lucky Albany’s a sanctuary city!” Bowens takes over to say, “ALBANAAAAAY~! The Acclaimed have arrived!

Backstage interview with Mina Shirakawa.
Lexy is with the Fighting Gravure Idol and congratulates her on her win in her return. Mina says yes, she is so back to have come back here, and she is so excited for Mariah’s match. Lexy says Mina already has multiple championships, is AEW gold on her mind at all? Mina says she’s just excited for Mariah’s match. But that’s not a no… Time to dance! Mina shimmies her way on out, but will she end up wanting something more than just fun with her friend?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Lexy is now with Mark Briscoe, Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii, and she notes that in a couple weeks, Dynamite: Thanksgiving Eve, it will be Tomohiro Ishii VS Chris Jericho for the ROH World Championship. How is Ishii feeling? The Stone Pitbull is stone-faced, so Mark Briscoe “translates” what #BigTom is exuding with his aura. This is what he’s trying to say: Jericho, your days are numbered! You better shine that title up real nice, sleep with it real close, because soon, it’s getting up outta there! “Learning Tree my ass, you about to learn a lesson about humility! You about to learn a lesson about gettin’ your ass whooped!”
Mark asks if they understand what he’s saying, and Rocky says yeah, he’s picking up what Mark’s putting down. Rocky’s digging the energy, and he feels the intensity. But he has to know one thing: What is the word of the day? That’s a hell of a question, Rocky, because today, it is a menagerie of words! Take a basket, reach in, pull out the word of the day, and well, it’s tenacious! Tenacity! Ferocious! Velocity! Ferocity! He’s tellin’ ya, long story short, that title is coming back to the Conglomeration, courtesy of Tomohiro Ishii! Jericho, you gettin’ your ass whooped, son! RARARARA!
Mark may be fire on the outside, but Ishii is fire on the inside. Will The Learning Tree be burned down either way?
Backstage interview with FTR.
Lexy notes that this past Wednesday, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood came up short in their own Full Gear Contenders Series match. Where are their heads out right now? Cash says he wishes he had an answer, because he doesn’t really know. FTR doesn’t know where they go from here. They wish it was just one bad night, but the truth of the matter is, FTR lost those titles a little over a year ago and have had chances to get them back where they just haven’t. Maybe it’s FTR. Maybe their time has passed them. Maybe they need to reevaluate. Dax agrees. But on Dynamite, the better team won on that night.
While FTR could cry about it, or they could rebuild. Therefore, they will rebuild. This may not be FTR’s time, but it is someone’s time. It is The Outrunners’ time! And maybe after Full Gear, we get an FTRunners dream match for those titles. Boys, they’re pulling for you. Speaking of, we’re about to hear from The Outrunners right now!
The Outrunners speak.
Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd have another retro style video in old standard definition, saying they’ve got the looks and the attitude, so you know they’ve got “the stuff!” It’s a highlight reel of their match with Top Flight, even using retro graphics in the editing. You gotta have the meat! And right now, they’re sizzling! But will Truth & Turbo be prime A1 material at Full Gear? Or will they end up well done?

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

Hikaru Shida VS Leila Grey!
The Shining Samurai continues her comeback, looking to carve a path back to a championship. But the Top Flight Attendant only just called out the ROH Women’s World Champion, Athena, last night on ROH TV. Will Leila be flying high towards her Proving Grounds match with The Fallen Goddess? Or will Shida use Leila as just another tune-up?
The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. The two tie up, Leila wrenches and wristlocks to YANK the arm. Leila keeps on the wristlock but Shida handsprings and wrenches back. Shida hammerlocks, headlocks, but Leila fires body shots. Leila powers up and out, but Shida runs Leila over! The fans fire up, and things keep moving. Shida rolls over Leila’s dropdown, then bypasses Leila. Leila stops the hip toss to fire body shots and knees! Leila goes to run but Shida reels her in. Shida lifts with the waistlock, and she swings Leila around, before the SLAM! The fans fire up with Shida and she goes outside.
Shida brings Leila to the apron, CLUBS her, then lines up a shot. Shida runs in to KNEE LIFT! The fans fire up again and Shida hurries back in. Shida brings Leila up, fireman’s carries, but Leila flails with forearms and elbows. Leila sunset flips, TWO! Leila ROCKS Shida, UPPERCUTS, then kicks low. Leila KICKS high, then kicks a leg out, to run and SHOTGUN! Shida tumbles, Leila covers, TWO! Shida stays in this but Leila stays on her. Leila bumps Shida off buckles, then she runs Shida side to side to bump off more buckles. Leila CHOPS and the fans “WOO~!” Leila smiles and puts some stank on the CHOP!
Leila swings but Shida dodges the third chop, to ROCK Leila! Shida whips, Leila reverses, and Leila SHINING WIZARDS in the corner! Then BULLDOG! Cover, TWO! Shida is tougher than that but Leila stalks her. The fans rally up, Leila brings Shida around, and Leila fires a forearm! Shida fires one in return! Leila fires again, but Shida ROCKS Leila! Leila ROCKS Shida! The fans rally up and Shida feeds off the energy. Shida fires forearm after forearm, but Leila takes a swing! Shida dodges, wrenches, and short arm LARIATS! The fans fire up and Shida is after Leila in a corner. Shida climbs up, and she rains down fists!
The fans fire up and count all the way to TEN! Shida roars then kicks Leila away. Shida MISSILE DROPKICKS! Down goes Leila! Shida hurries to cover, TWO! Leila stays in this but Shida takes aim. KATA- NO, Leila deflects! Roll up, TWO!! Shida is up, blocks a boot, and swings, but into a full nelson! Shida wrenches out, BOOTS Leila’s lariat, then QUESTION MARK KICKS! Shida suplexes for the FALCON ARROW! Cover, Shida wins!
Winner: Hikaru Shida, by pinfall
Leila kicks at 3.1, that’s too little too late! Will Leila at least last ten minutes against Athena next week? Will Shida be the one poised for a title shot after Full Gear?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee Paquette is with the crazy Aussie, who keeps pawing at her, and brings up the match Harley’s made for Collision with Mina Shirakawa. Harley asks Renee, does she know what Mina has that Harley doesn’t? No, what is it? NOTHING!! Mina is beautiful, charismatic, and talented. But can she do THIS?! Harley brings out a guitar and starts to play! Harley was a musician, y’know. Oh, wait, there’s a string missing. Never mind, she’s professional! Harley starts adlibbing a Blues-esque song. There once was a little girl. And by “little,” Harley doesn’t mean young child, she means just small in stature.
Anyway, and a five, six, seven, eight! Renee stops Harley there, there’s no time. What?! No! FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAM- The cameras cut away back to ringside, but will Harley show Mina and the world everything she’s capable of tomorrow night on Collision?
Mark Briscoe VS Ariya Daivari w/ Mark Sterling!
While Chris Jericho keeps disrespecting the legacy of Jay Briscoe, it will be Tomohiro Ishii that handles him. Tonight, the Sussex County Chicken is to focus on himself and the Premier Athletes’ son of privilege. “Smart” Mark takes over introductions by saying Ariya Daivari is about to wrestle “literally the dumbest person in AEW.” Mark is so stupid, really. So please, show the world that Bridgeport is smarter than a Briscoe by reading what is right on the Premier Athletes’ brand new merch shirt: Athletes Rule. Daivari says when he says “Athletes,” the fans should say, “Rule!” and NOTHING ELSE! Got it!?
Okay, hands in. Ohhh… “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Briscoe laughs because the only dumb Mark here is Mark Sterling. But will Briscoe prove that what matters in the ring is street smarts? Or can Daivari prove that Premier Athletes don’t suck?
The bell rings and Briscoe circles with Daivari. They tie up as fans rally, and Briscoe pushes Daivari back. Daivari turns things around to put Briscoe in a corner, and lets off as the ref counts. Daivari shouts, “ATHLETES!” but fans again shout “SUCK!!” Briscoe SHOVES Daivari down and the fans fire up. Briscoe and Daivari circle, tie up, and Briscoe headlocks.

And ROLLING ELBOWS! The fans fire up more while sterling protests.
Briscoe whips Daivari, then UPPERCUTS again! The fans fire up as Daivari goes to a corner. Briscoe storms up to bring Daivari around, for a suplex high and hard! Cover, TWO! Daivari is tougher than that so Briscoe shrugs it off. Briscoe fires hands, Daivari staggers around, but Briscoe CHOPS him in a corner! Briscoe then REDNECK CRANE KICKS! The fans fire up and Briscoe brings Daivari up, but Daivari JAWBREAKERS back! Daivari TOSSES Briscoe out, but the ref has Sterling stay back. Daivari goes out to get Briscoe, but Briscoe sends Daivari into railing! The fans fire up while Daivari writhes, and Briscoe stands him up.
Briscoe CHOPS Daivari, high-fives fans, then CHOPS Daivari again. Briscoe then brings Daivari around to SMACK off a chair! The fans fire up as Briscoe makes Daivari take a seat. Briscoe refreshes the count, then runs up to BOOT Daivari down! The fans fire up more, and Briscoe UPPERCUTS Daivari again. Daivari goes to more railing but Briscoe CHOPS him down again. Briscoe tosses a chair into the ring, HEADBUTTS Daivari, then slides into the ring. Briscoe sets up the chair and the fans fire up! Sterling panics as Briscoe builds speed, so Sterling snatches the chair away! The fans boo but Briscoe goes out after Sterling!
Sterling defends his innocence but Daivari CLUBS Briscoe! And hits a NECKBREAKER on the floor! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Well, clearly Sterling doesn’t learn, but Daivari is control as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Daivari drags Briscoe up and into the ring, then grabs the legs, so he can stomp Briscoe’s gut! Briscoe sputters his way to a corner but Daivari digs his boots in! The ref counts, Sterling cheers, but Daivari lets off. Daivari argues with the ref, so Sterling CHOKES Briscoe! The fans boo but Sterling gets away with it. Daivari whips Briscoe hard into a corner! Briscoe sits down, and Daivari stomps him some more! Daivari snapmares Briscoe, KNEES him in the back, then clamps on a neck wrench. The ref reprimands the fishhook in there, but Daivari shifts to a chinlock. Daivari grinds Briscoe down, but Briscoe endures.
Fans rally up and Briscoe fights to his feet. Rampage returns to single picture as Briscoe fires body shots! Briscoe fires forearms but Daivari knees low! Daivari CLAWS Briscoe’s face, puts him in a corner, then hoists him up top. The fans rally for “DEM BOYS! DEM BOYS!” but Daivari CHOPS Briscoe. Daivari climbs up, brings Briscoe up, but Briscoe fires body shots! Briscoe DECKS Daivari, the fans fire up, but Sterling springs into action! The ref reprimands, Sterling argues with him, and Daivari runs up! Briscoe leaps over Daivari, but Daivari dodges the boot! SLEEPER! The fans boo but Briscoe RAMS Daivari into a corner!
Daivari holds on but Briscoe RAMS him in again and again! Briscoe is finally free, but Daivari then hammerlocks! LION’S LARIAT! And then a wrench, spin, LION’S DDT! Cover, TWO!! Briscoe survives Daivari’s double down and the fans fire up! Daivari throws hands but Briscoe feeds off it! The fans fire up as Briscoe mans up!

Briscoe wobbles, but he eggs Daivari on! Daivari runs up, into a ROLLING DEATH VALLEY! Daivari is down and Briscoe climbs up!
Sterling distracts Briscoe, and Daivari has time to hit the ropes! That trips Briscoe up! Briscoe tumbles to the m at, and Daivari hauls Briscoe up. Wait, Daivari underhooks the arms?! That’s blasphemy! But Briscoe powers up and out with a backdrop! And now Briscoe brings Daivari in, only for Sterling to get on the apron! The ref reprimands, Briscoe warns Sterling, but it’s ROCKY ROMERO that YANKS Sterling down! Daivari whips Briscoe, Briscoe reverses to TOSS Daivari! Rocky gets Briscoe the chair! Briscoe sets it up, and he takes FLIGHT! Down goes Daivari & Sterling! Briscoe puts Daivari in, climbs up, FROGGY-BOW!! Cover, Briscoe wins!
Winner: Mark Briscoe, by pinfall

Komander stays tough but Rampage goes to break.
Rampage returns and the fans fire up for Komander as he goes up, up, salutes, and ARIHARA MOONSAULTS Rocky down! The fans fire up and MVP is impressed. Komander puts Rocky in, the fans rally behind “KO-MAN-DER!” But Rocky intercepts the flight for a fireman’s carry! Komander slips free, suplexes, but Rocky slips free. Rocky shoves but Komander DROPKICKS! The fans fire up and Komander runs corner to corner to go up and up, MOONSAULT, into BOOTS! Komander staggers, into SLICED BREAD! Cover, TWO! Rocky is frustrated but he hurries to bring Komander back up. Rocky whips, but Komander tiger feints and rolls!
Komander goes up and has Rocky with a dragon sleeper! Inverted suplex, for a POWERSLAM into the corner!! The fans fire up as Komander sets Rocky in the drop zone. Komander climbs, tightrope walks, CIELITO LINDO!! Cover, Komander wins!
Winner: Komander, by pinfall
MVP nods, maybe he saw things not even he expected out of this match. Will Komander prove he’s not just worthy of MVP’s attention but of AEW’s attention? And with it, perhaps a title opportunity?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Lexy Nair is with The Queenslayer and notes her AEW Women’s World Championship match set for Collision tomorrow night. It is No Disqualifications, and if Anna wins, she is the NEW champion. But if she loses… Anna will never challenge Mariah May for the title again. Anna says it is worth that risk. It is worth seeing Mariah’s eyes bulging out of her head until she passes out. With no rules, Anna is capable of anything. But in steps Taya Valkyrie, applauding and saying yes, Anna is capable of anything. But so is Mariah. And Mina Shirakawa could be anywhere. Maybe Anna wants some extra insurance? And by the way, The Vendetta does accept cash.
Anna says she can handle her business, so Taya can mind her own. Taya tells Anna okay, okay. But Deonna Purrazzo sends her regards. Stay safe out there. Anna says no, she won’t. Will Anna finally be The Star of the Show when she tears down Mariah? Or will The Virtuosa & La Wera Loca have something to say about that?
Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Dralistico VS Alex Price & Richard Holliday!
Just 24 hours ahead of their Collision with The Acclaimed, La Faccion Ingobernable’s two bulls are looking to stampede! Will they be more than ready for the Full Gear Contenders Series?
The teams sort out and Mortos starts against Price, and just CLBOBERS him at the bell! Mortos keeps moving, Price drops then jumps, but into a SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans fire up and Mortos SMACKS Price! Mortos whips Price, Price ducks ‘n’ dodges, then goes up and over! Price DROPKICKS, DROPKICKS, and fires up! But then Mortos POP-UP SAMOAN DROPS him!

Holliday steps to Rush, but Rush shoves him! Holliday UPPERCUTS!
The fans fire up but Rush CHOPS! Rush pie faces Holliday but Holliday fires up! Only for Rush to whip him into a corner and SPLASH! Snapmare and basement DROPKICK! Holliday bails out but Rush pursues. Rush CHOPS, then throws Holliday into railing. Rush dribbles Holliday off the railing, rains down fists, but the ref counts. Rush says leave him alone, but the ref warns him. Rush stops, then he puts Holliday in the ring. Rush snarls and storms back into the ring. Mortos CHOKES Holliday, the ref reprimands, but this lets Dralistico throw Price into steel steps! Rush whips Holliday corner to corner hard!
Rush DECKS Holliday with a forearm, stomps away on him, and goes corner to corner! “If you mess with the bull…!” BULL’S HORNS! Cover, LFI wins!
Winners: Rush & The Beast Mortos, by pinfall
This probably could’ve been over soon, but LFI likes to play with their food. But will they be much more to the point against Max Caster & Anthony Bowens?
Backstage interview with MVP.
Lexy is with Montel Vontavious Porter and brings up how he’s been watching matches here and there. Is he scouting talent? Absolutely! And as he’s been getting the lay of the land here in AEW, MVP sees so many young and gifted athletes with so much untapped potential. Some of them need motivation. Some need perhaps better management. And some just need to be hurt, beaten down again and again, to their knees. Because only when you’ve broken a man down to his knees can you teach him to stand and put him on the path to success. MVP says Swerve Strickland is a perfect example. So much to learn and yet he just won’t listen.
That is arrogance. It is that arrogance that the fans love, but it is also Swerve’s greatest weakness. Swerve thinks that one man can beat three. That is arrogance. Swerve calls himself the most dangerous man in AEW. With Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin around, that is arrogance. And arrogance, like pride, goeth before the fall. So MVP is paying attention to everything. For example, tonight, where MVP will be watching Ricochet in the main event. Oh, and that young luchador, Komander, what an impressive match. MVP likes that. And then tomorrow night on Collision, Shelton will find out exactly what Komander is made of, and what lessons he needs to learn.
The business plan has been set out, but will The Hurt Syndicate find the diamonds in the rough they are looking for? Or is it all fool’s gold compared to what they already have?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!

MVP just told the world he is watching this match, but surely so is The Don Callis Family. Will The One & Only show them something #OuttaThisWorld? Or will Angel Dorado remind us why he was the hottest high flyer not too long ago?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Ricochet and Dante shake hands to show there is respect here. They circle, tie up, and Ricochet headlocks for a takeover. Dante headscissors but Ricochet moves around, rolls Dante, then floats to a headlock. Dante fights back up, but Ricochet wrenches to wristlock. Dante goes for ropes but Ricochet keeps him back. Ricochet continues to keep Dante from the ropes, so Dante just front flips on his own! Dante arm-drags free and the fans fire up! Dante and Ricochet hurry to their feet, but Dante knees low!

TWO, and Ricochet whips. Dante leaps for a sunset flip! Ricochet stays up, tucks Dante for a sunset flip of his own, TWO! Dante swings, Ricochet dodges and rolls back to RANA, but both men get up! Ricochet DROPKICKS Dante down and the fans fire up! We get a shot of MVP once again liking what he sees. Dante goes to a corner, Ricochet runs up, but Dante slips out! Ricochet hits buckles, then Dante goes up, around, and ROCKS Ricochet!
Dante aims but Ricochet runs up. Dante jumps over as Ricochet slides out, and then Dante ASAI MOONSAULTS! Ricochet avoids it, Dante lands on his feet, and now Ricochet goes up a corner to MOONSAULT! Dante dodges and he JUMP KNEES! Ricochet sputters as he leans against the apron, and Dante slides in. Dante keeps moving, but Ricochet springboards!

Dante survives and the fans fire up as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Dante rolls to the apron but Ricochet goes right after him. Ricochet kicks Dante to the floor, then hops down to fetch him. Ricochet CHOPS Dante, ROCKS him, and Dante staggers around the way. Ricochet fires up the fans, but Dante DAREDEVIL DROPKICKS Ricochet through the corner! Now it’s Dante firing up the fans as he goes after Ricochet. Dante brings Ricochet around to CHOP against the desk! Dante puts Ricochet in the ring, fires back up, and he hurries in, only for Ricochet to CLOBBER him. Ricochet drops another elbow, and another! Dante flounders but Ricochet drags him up. Ricochet CHOPS Dante to a corner.
Ricochet UPPERCUTS Dante, then whips corner to corner. Dante hits buckles so hard, that he tumbles up and over, then to the floor! Ricochet lets the ring count climb a bit, and Dante stirs at 4 of 10. Dante rises, Ricochet eggs him on a bit, but Dante’s still down at 7 of 10. Dante stands at 8 and rolls in, only for Ricochet to drop knees! Ricochet rains down some fists, but the ref reprimands about closes fists. Ricochet swears he was using palm strikes. Ricochet drags Dante up, snapmares, and KICKS him in the back! Ricochet clamps on with a chinlock, and even traps an arm. Ricochet now shifts into a grounded cobra twist!
Dante endures, even as Ricochet throws punches into the ribs. Dante fights, rises up, and fires body shots! Ricochet CHOPS in return!

Ricochet jumps over Dante, but Dante BOOTS him! Dante fires a flurry of forearms but Ricochet shoves him back. Ricochet runs up, Dante again slips to the outside, and Dante ROCKS Ricochet again.

Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall
MVP nods, very impressed by The One & Only Ricochet. Ricochet’s arsenal certainly continues to grow, but he still shows respect to Dante. Will this momentum help Ricochet’s team take down The Don Callis Family this Wednesday Night Dynamite?
My Thoughts:
A very good Rampage, even with it being a five match night. Granted, it was clear Shida was going to win her match and LFI were going to win theirs. Well, so was Briscoe, but it was good stuff with Daivari getting a good showing and Rocky cancelling out Sterling so Briscoe would win. Great match from Rocky and Komander, too, and great win for Komander. Though, as MVP plugged in his promo, Komander is certainly losing to Shelton Benjamin, but I do appreciate the idea that anyone just floating around in the midcard could end up Hurt Syndicate material.
Ricochet VS Dante was a great main event, Ricochet of course won, but between being on Team Ospreay for Dynamite and Hurt Syndicate not leaving him alone, there are all kinds of possibilities for Ricochet. And great promos to hype up the two women’s matches we’re getting on Collision. That’s right, we’re getting two women’s matches! Harley continues to be hilarious, and I like this gag that she never has enough time to get her full madness out. Very good promo from Anna with Taya making a surprise appearance. Given Mariah is more than likely to win tomorrow night, Anna needs something outside of titles so I suppose a feud with The Vendetta could be something. Maybe it’s also a way to bring Tay Conti/Tay Melo back into story since it’d be a tag team feud?
My Score: 8.7/10
