The ref wants this back in the ring but Moxley messes the ref’s hair. Moxley scoops Daniels to SNAKE EYES him off the steel steps! Fans are torn while Daniels is down and Moxley soaks it all up as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Daniels drags himself up the steps, gets to the apron, and rolls slowly into the ring. Moxley runs in to clothesline Daniels back out! Daniels flops on the floor and Moxley goes out after him. Moxley drags Daniels up, RAMS him into the steel steps, then goes back into the ring. The ring count restarts and Daniels slowly rises. Moxley argues with the ref but the ref has him back off. Daniels leans against the apron at 5 of 10, takes a breath, but struggles to get up on the apron. The count keeps climbing, but Daniels slides in at 9! Moxley is annoyed, but then he eggs Daniels on. Daniels CHOPS, but Moxley keeps taunting him.
Daniels CHOPS again as Rampage returns to single picture, and Moxley hits a CUTTER! Moxley drags Daniels back up, puts him in a corner and CHOPS!

Winner: Jon Moxley, by submission
The Maniac puts the Fallen Angel down! The former AEW World Champion surprisingly offers a handshake to the ROH Grand Slam Champion. Daniels takes it, and Moxley leaves it at that. But will Moxley’s show of respect mean nothing to The Elite and their blood thirsty grudge?
Backstage interview with Jade Cargill.
Lexi Nair is with the AEW TBS Champion, as well as her lawyer, Mark Sterling. Jade is having her make-up done as Lexi says she asked for this time. Jade says, “Ugh, Lacey, not today.” Sterling handles this since Jade is busy. It was announced for next week’s Dynamite that we finally see Jade Cargill VS Taya Valkyrie for the TBS Championship. And they will finally get rid of Taya once and for all. But there was also a big win for the Jade Brand as they got it put in writing: Taya CANNOT, can not, use the chicken wing facebuster in that match, regardless of the name. And if Taya does, she will be DISQUALIFIED! And so, Jade and team are excited for this match. That is all.
How will La Wera Loca win without her best move? Or does she have another move up her proverbial sleeve that can stop #ThatBitch?
Hook heads to the ring!
The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil is here in Steel City, but he’s not alone. Here come the Hardy Boyz! And Isiah Lassidy, too! Fans join in with “DELETE! DELETE!” and the Jeff Hardy dance as Jeff, Matt and Isiah join Hook in the ring. Kassidy has the mic to ask if they’re all ready from ya boi, Jeff Hardy, give ’em a “HELL YEAH!” “HELL YEAH!” Kassidy hands the mic to Jeff, and Jeff says, “Hello, everyone!” Fans cheer and Jeff says it is super cool to be back in the Elite World. Nine months ago, he didn’t think this would be possible. He worked so hard to reach this moment right now.
Fans chant “Welcome Back!” for Jeff, and he thanks them. Jeff is working to love himself again. So the smartest thing to do is retire. Fans boo because they can’t believe it. “From screwing up! I’m here in AEW to end my career on an extremely high note instead of a depressing low! I love each and every one of you! We’ll see and time will tell, the future is waiting for us to prevail.” Fans cheer that, that’s a good swerve he pulled. Matt takes the mic to say that we should talk about the #FirmDeletion! Fans cheer and yet Stokely Hathaway appears via the tron! “Jeff Hardy, how the hell are you? You wanna know how I am? I am pissed to the highest level of pissed-tivity!”
Fans boo but Stokely says all week long, he’s emailed the Hardys, he’s called them, paged them, and even sent a fax to know the details “of this dumbass match.” But they can’t even respond because they’re too busy at the house with the wife ‘n’ kids going, “Aaaah~!” Stokely also does the Hardy finger guns to the face. Stokely wants an answer! Matt says this is dreadful etiquette from “Stoke.” But Matt’s good, Stokely doesn’t need an answer right now, he’ll get the answer when Matt’s good and ready. Stokely says okay, that’s fine. Stokely’s been working hard at being a better man. So he will have patience, God bless.
But that’s because THE FIRM attacks from behind! Big Bill Morrissey CLOBBERS Matt ‘n’ Kassidy! Lee Moriarty TACKLES Jeff, and Ethan Page BOOTS Hook! Stokely is back on screen to say, “Damn, that’s crazy.” The Firm toss out Jeff and Hook, then throw Matt out so they can mug Kassidy! Stokely laughs as Ethan is fed to EGO’S EDGE! Fans boo but The Firm soaks it all up. And they’re not done, as they drag Kassidy out of the ring! They wanna take him to the back!? They haul Kassidy away but then the Hardys return with chairs! The Firm runs off, but did they just change the Firm Deletion’s outcome with this attack?
AEW shares the aftermath of Dynamite.
After Adam Cole was attacked by Chris Jericho & Daniel Garcia, and then forced to watch as The Outcasts brutalized Britt Baker, the Undisputed Couple were brought to medical in the back. Cole assured Britt she’d be okay, and he apologized for what happened, feeling it was his fault. Britt’s back is still in question, how will Cole respond this Wednesday?
Keith Lee & Dustin Rhodes speak.
The Limitless One says he was almost out, “and then someone dragged me in.” Someone asked Keith about his match against Chris Jericho, and he can say that Jericho earned a modicum of respect, but Keith can also say that he was certainly going to win, if not for the… interjection of Swerve Strickland. Dustin says Naturally Limitless is back, the greatest duo since Travolta & Jackson in Pulp Fiction. And guess what? Next week, on Rampage, they descend on Florida! Will Keith & Dustin send a message to Swerve and his Mogul Embassy?
Julia Hart VS Kiera Hogan!
Anna Jay stepped up to the The House of Black’s “spooky b*tch,” and got blinded by the mist! Will Julia continue to cast her shadow on the AEW Women’s Division? Or will Kiera’s fire be a light in the darkness?
The bell rings and the two stare down. Fans rally up as Julia and Kiera step closer. Julia dodges Kiera and smirks, but Kiera keeps cool. They go again, Julia dodges, but then she SLAPS Kiera! Julia smirks but Kiera fires off forearms! Julia knees low and runs in at the corner, but Kiera goes up and over, then ducks ‘n’ dodges, to SLAP back! Julia snarls, but she’s sent into ropes! Kiera runs to HIP ATTACK! Kiera YANKS Julia back, runs and STEP-UP LEG DROPS! Cover, TWO! Fans rally and Kiera eggs Julia on. Julia wrenches, ROCKS and HOOK KICKS! Julia then CHOKES Kiera! The ref counts but Kiera ROCKS Julia!
Kiera ROCKS Julia again and again, then CHOPS! Fans fire up and Kiera runs in to CLOBBER Julia! Kiera starts to rally, she spins Julia around and snapmares to SUPERKICK! Fans fire up again as Julia goes to a corner. Kiera runs Around the World for a BOOT WASH! Cover, TWO! Julia grits her teeth while fans rally and duel. Kiera drags Julia up but Julia JAWBREAKERS! And then NECKBREAKERS! And then kips up, to STANDING MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO! Kiera hangs tough and Julia stares daggers. Julia hooks Kiera up, HARTLESS, but into a cradle! TWO!! Kiera gets up, boots Julia, but Julia ducks the roundhouse!
Julia KICKS the legs out, SMACKS Kiera off the mat, then hooks her up again! HARTLESS!! Kiera is caught, she taps, Julia wins!
Winner: Julia Hart, by submission
Hart sings along with her own song, The House Always Wins, but wait! Here comes Anna Jay! Jay and Julia brawl! Anna trips Julia, rains down hands, but Julia turns it around to return those fists! Anna kicks Julia away, the forearms and haymakers fly again, and refs rush out to stop this! Fans want to “Let Them Fight!” and Anna gets loose! Anna ROCKS Julia but the refs bring her back! Anna shouts that they’re not done here! How far will the Queenslayer go to break the Black Hart?
Backstage interview with Christopher Daniels.
Lexi says that as “a veteran of the game,” Daniels has earned the respect of most all his peers, and including Moxley here tonight. Daniels says that’s a nice sentiment, but he’s not here for respect alone. Daniels is here for victories, he is here for championships, and if he has to go through men like Moxley again… Daniels stops because he sees Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta walk in wearing Blackpool Combat Club jackets. Claudio has Lexi leave, and Daniels gets ready to fight. But Moxley walks in to have Claudio & Yuta stand down. CD’s cool, man, he’s an OG. Daniels says maybe he was wrong about Moxley. Seems he has some honor left in him.
Moxley nods, and then sucker punches Daniels! Moxley dribbles Daniels’ face off the locker! “We never changed. It’s everybody else who’s out of their damn minds.” Daniels is busted open! Does the BCC have no shame in how they treat others?
8 Man Tag: FTR & Triple J VS The Varsity Athletes & Slim J w/ Mark Sterling!
When Mark Briscoe got jumped by Tony Nese, Josh Woods, Ari Daivari and the Trustbusters’ number one investment, naturally his friends checked up on him. However, Cash & Dax don’t really get along with Jay Lethal & Jeff Jarrett, and who can blame them? But can these four pull together to avenge the Sussex County Chicken? Or will Smart Mark’s stable stomp them all out like they did Mark?
The teams sort out and fans rally for FTR as Dax starts against Slim. They circle, tie up, and Dax powers Slim back but Slim puts Dax in the corner. Slim fires hands, the ref reprimands and counts, and Slim lets off, to then CHOKE Dax! The ref counts, Slim lets off at 4, and he argues with the ref. But Dax CHOPS him in return! Slim staggers about, clutching his chest. Dax ROCKS, CHOPS and repeat! Then Dax snap suplexes! Leg drop, cover, TWO! Dax drags Slim up, scoops and SLAMS him, then tags Cash. Mark is watching his friends in action as Dax helps Cash with the LEG DROP! Cover, TWO!
Cash keeps Slim from his corner, whips him to ropes, but Slim tilt-o-whirls to RANA! Fans boo but the Varsity Athletes cheer their guy. Slim soaks up the heat, runs in at Cash, but into a BOOT! Cash CLUBS and UPPERCUTS, but Slim knees low! Slim fires haymakers, runs the ropes, but Cash hurdles! Cash runs, things speed up, and Cash catches Slim for a POWERSLAM! Lethal tags himself in and tells Cash go git! Lethal drags Slim up, tags Jarrett, and they double whip Slim. Slim reverses Lethal but Lethal holds ropes, and Jarrett hits a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Lethal adds a basement dropkick! And then Lethal & Jarrett double Fargo Strut!
Nese & Daivari run in but FTR get in, they DECK Nese & Daivari! Jarrett & Lethal tell FTR to leave, and they strut again. FTR struts, too! Fans cheer all the strutting but the friends of Mark argue. Sonjay is annoyed and tells them all to focus. Lethal stomps away on Slim, then Jarrett drags Slim up while AEW goes picture in picture.
Jarrett whips corner to corner hard and Slim bounces off the buckles. Tag to Lethal, Jarrett whips Slim and kicks! Lethal runs in to SWINGING NECKBREAKER! Lethal does a victory lap, flexes, then he covers, TWO! Lethal drags Slim over, tells FTR to stay back, but Cash tags himself in. Lethal has to go get Slim, and then Lethal and Cash double suplex. Slim slips free to shove Cash into Lethal! Lethal falls out of the ring, Woods HOTSHOTS Cash! The ref reprimands but Slim CLOBBERS Cash! Slim drags Cash up, brings him over and tags in Daivari. They mug Cash, then Daivari kicks Cash out of the ring!
The ref reprimands Daivari, but this allows Woods to get a cheap shot! Woods puts Cash in for Daivari to stomp! The ref is busy with Dax as he protests, and then Sonjay gets in Sterling’s face! Daivari CHOKES Cash on the ropes, but lets off at 4. Tag to Woods and he drags Cash up to put in the open corner. Woods RAMS into Cash again and again, but lets off as the ref reprimands. Woods mocks Cash, brings him up and bumps him off buckles. Tag to Nese and Nese stomps away on Cash. The ref counts, Nese lets off at 4, but that lets Slim get his shots in! The ref again has to keep Dax back, but then Satnam steps up!
The Varsity Athletes let off of Cash and tell the One in a Billion to back up. Nese drags Cash up, throws knees, then tags Woods back in. The Varsity Athletes mug Cash more as Rampage goes to break.
Rampage returns and Woods has Cash down with a chinlock. Fans rally as Cash endures and fights up. Cash moves around but Woods grinds him down. Cash still fights up, and he arm-drags free! Cash runs, Woods catches him and keeps him away! But Cash KNEES back! Both men fall over and fans rally up again! Hot tag to Daivari and he CLOBBERS Cash! Daivari whips and puts Cash in a SLEEPER! But Cash hits a BIG back suplex! Both men are down again and fans rally back up! Tag to Nese, he runs in but Cash goes up and over, hot tag to Dax! Dax JABS away on Nese, then DECKS him with a right!
Slim runs in, Dax DECKS him! Daivari runs in, Dax DECKS him! Woods runs in, Dax dodges to DECK him! Lethal & Jarrett help out and they keep after Slim and Daivari! All four of Mark’s friends throws hands on a Varsity Trustbuster! Then they coordinate, and trade, clotheslines send Daivari and Woods out! Sterling distracts the ref while Jarrett TOSSES Slim! Dax tells Sterling to shut up, all this distraction helps Sonjay stomp away on Daivari! Dax then TOSSES Sterling into the ring! Sterling begs for mercy, but he bumps into the Last Outlaw! Sterling swings in desperation, misses, and Dax has his arms!
Sterling begs for mercy again but Jarrett puts some stank on his fist. Jarrett runs, but Sterling slips away and the haymaker hits Dax!! Nese rolls Dax up, Jarrett freezes up, TWO!! Dax escapes, and he argues with Jarrett! About the punch, and about there being no save! Jarrett says it was all an accident, but they start shoving each other. Nese runs in, Jarrett pushes Dax aside to catch the Premier Athlete! THE STROKE! Jarrett serves Nese up to Dax, FTR & JJJ win!
Winners: FTR & Triple J, by pinfall
Dax is still hot but Cash, Lethal, Sonjay & Satnam step in to keep the peace. Mark hurries out to also be peacemaker. Will Mark’s friends end up fighting each other over those AEW World Tag Team Championships?
A challenger approaches!
The AEW International Champion has been Freshly Squeezed for a long time, but now Orange Cassidy has been targeted by Bandido! Will El Mas Buscado, The Most Wanted, get what he most wants in winning AEW gold? Or will Cassidy still reign past defense number 20?
The Superbad Squad speaks.
Butcher tells Blade and Kip Sabian that he was eating a sandwich today when a little crumb fell off onto his shoulder and told him a secret. Seems there’s a new “super tag team” in AEW. Blade says, “Newsflash, slick! Takeshita, Kenny Omega, you wanna walk around here considering yourself a couple o’ tough guys? You gotta get through the real tough guys first! Because we ARE the Midnight Riders! We ARE The Butcher & The Blade! And we WILL kick your ass!” Kip’s killers are ready, but will they be swept away by The Cleaner and the Future of Wrestling?
Mark Henry welcomes us back to Rampage.
In tonight’s main event, the AAA Mega Championship will be defended by Vikingo against LFI’s Dralistico. As Excalibur narrates, the 25-year-old lucha prodigy goes up against a second-generation star who has held titles around the world. It’s TIME! For the main event! Will this be the most high-flying, death-defying title defense of EHDJ’s reign yet?
AAA Mega Championship: El Hijo del Vikingo VS Dralistico w/ La Faccion Ingobernable!
The introductions are made, but Dralistico doesn’t wait for the bell, he DIVES onto Vikingo at the ramp! Fans boo but Dralistico puts Vikingo in the ring. The bell rings as Dralistico springboards, but Vikingo dodges. Vikingo runs, springboards and MISSILE DROPKICKS! Dralistico bails out, Vikingo runs and DIVES, but Dralistico moves! Vikingo crash lands on the ramp! Dralistico & Rush talk brother to brother while “Perro Peligroso (The Dangerous Dog)” Preston Vance looms over the champion. The ref reprimands Vance, Dralistico stomps Vikingo, and Dralistico puts Vikingo in the ring.
Dralistico hears the fans rallying for Vikingo but he springboards in to SWANTON BOMB! Cover, TWO! Dralistico argues with the ref but the ref says the count was fair. Dralistico stomps Vikingo more, eggs him on, and Vikingo CHOPS back! Dralistico nods and CHOPS in return! Vikingo staggers, CHOPS again, but Dralistico throws a forearm. Vikingo gives it back, they trade shots, and Dralistico gets the edge. Dralistico runs, but Vikingo ROCKS Dralistico in return! Vikingo runs, but Dralistico ROCKS him now! Dralistico runs, but into a SCREW HIGH KICK! Vikingo runs, Dralistico sidesteps and GERMAN SUPLEXES!
But Vikingo is right back up to POISON-RANA! Vikingo runs, but Dralistico dodges to springboard DESTROYER!! Fans are thunderous while both men are down and Rampage goes picture in picture!
Dralistico sits up slowly, LFI coaches him on, and he rallies the fans. Dralistico drags Vikingo to a cover, TWO! Vikingo is hanging tough but he also bails out of the ring. Dralistico follows to KICK the leg out from under Vikingo! Then Dralistico whips Vikingo into railing! LFI soaks up the heat, and then Jose distracts the ref so that Rush & Vance can RAM Vikingo into more railing! Dralistico digs his knee in, kicks away on Vikingo, but lets off as the ref reprimands. Dralistico drags Vikingo up and whips him hard into steel steps! Dralistico soaks up the heat and wags his finger, saying he’s the one.
Dralistico drags Vikingo up, puts him in the ring, and aims from the apron. Dralistico gets fans going again, then stalks Vikingo. Dralistico stomps Vikingo, then pretends to punt Vikingo’s head. Dralistico says the kick was good, and he soaks up more heat. Dralistico seems to be getting the “DRA-LISTICO!” chants he wants, so he goes back to Vikingo. Dralistico puts Vikingo in a corner to CHOP him! Dralistico stomps Vikingo down, runs and MULE KICKS! Dralistico then tranquilos on the top rope! Dralistico then whips corner to corner to forearm SMASH! And then back the other way, only for Vikingo to slip to the apron! But Dralistico still DROPKICKS him down!
Vikingo flounders and checks his leg while Dralistico goes up top. Rampage returns to single picture as Dralistico ARIHARA MOONSAULTS! Direct hit on Vikingo! Dralistico puts Vikingo in the ring, rallies the fans up again, and then springboards, FLYING CODE BREAKER! Vikingo falls over, Dralistico covers, TWO!! Dralistico grows frustrated but Vikingo is tougher than that. LFI argues the count but the ref says it was fair. Vikingo rises, Dralistico shakes his head, and he drags Vikingo up. Vikingo CHOPS! Dralistico huffs and puffs, shows knuckle lock but then SOBATS! And KNEES! And SUPERKICKS!
Vikingo ends up in a corner, Dralistico runs in but Vikingo puts him on the apron! Vikingo then goes to the other side of the corner, brings Dralistico up, and they brawl on the bottom rope. They climb up, brawl more, and fans are on Vikingo’s side here. Vikingo SLAPS, Dralistico SLAPS! Both men wobble, the SLAPS continue, and then Drailstico gets the edge with forearms! But then Vikingo HEADBUTTS Dralistico down! Dralistico crawls along the apron, Vikingo stands on the very top! FLYING DESTROYER to the apron!! Both men are down while Pittsburgh loses their minds! The ref checks but Dralistico is still in this.
The fans say “This is Awesome!” as both men stir. Vikingo drags himself up, then drags Dralistico up. Vikingo puts Dralistico in but now he has to fight off the rest! Vikingo BOOTS Rush, BOOTS Vance, and hurries back up. But Rush YANKS Vikingo back down! Jose says that’s what he gets! The ref realizes something happened, so he EJECTS LFI! Fans fire up while Jose protests, but still has to keep Rush back. LFI leaves reluctantly and fans sing, “Hey hey hey, good bye~!” But Darlistico rolls Vikingo up! TWO!! Vikingo hurries back up, to SCREW HIGH KICK again! Vikingo then hurries up the corner, to COUP DE GRACE!! Cover, TWO!?!
Dralistico survives but Vikingo keeps close. Vikingo goes to the apron, and fans fire up for the INSIDE- NO, Dralistico ENZIGURIS before the launch! Vikingo wobbles on the ropes, Dralistico goes up the nearest corner, and he FLYING SUPER STEINERS Vikingo to the floor!!! Fans hope these two “FIGHT FOREVER!” but this has to end somehow! Dralistico puts Vikingo in, runs but Vikingo dodges, only for Dralistico to come back and tilt-o-whirl! LA MYSTICA! FUJIWARA ARMBAR!! ROPEBREAK!! Vikingo saves himself by a literal foot, but Dralistico thinks this is his win! The ref says no, that was the ropebreak!
Dralistico argues, Vikingo is up to HEEL KICK! Dralistico ends up in a corner, Vikingo METEORAS! And then with Dralistico in the drop zone, Vikingo goes up top for the 630!!! Cover, Vikingo wins!
Winner: El Hijo del Vikingo, by pinfall (still AAA Mega Champion)
But then LFI returns to mug Vikingo! Fans boo as they beat him down in the corner! Then LFI set Viking up for the DISCUS LARIAT! Dralistico adds on fists in frustration and LFI stands over the champion. LFI may have lost here, but will they take no prisoners in their takeover of AEW?
My Thoughts:
A really good Rampage here, though with only so much story progress. Great opener from Moxley and Daniels, and of course Moxley wins. But no Elite spotted, it was just Moxley being two-faced in respecting Daniels but still beating him up in the locker room. And then we get the news of Omega & Konosuke teaming against Butcher & Blade in their first outing as a tag team. I’m sure Omega & Konosuke will win that, mostly because what have the Butcher & Blade really won at all these days? I’m still expecting something to happen to Konosuke where Hangman is compelled to help The Elite against the BCC.
Good promo from Jade and Sterling, but a little disappointing that they’re still putting the ban on Taya using the same finisher as Jade. While Double or Nothing is still a month away, I feel like it’d be a great move if Taya wins without her best move. As great as Jade has done, they have stopped really trying with her booking, so her dropping the title before reaching 60-0 could actually be good stuff for her creative. She can rebuild from there, and might even move up to the AEW Women’s World Championship after the Outcast story finishes. And honestly, fans like Jade enough that even if Hayter loses the title to an Outcast, Jade can go Face against Saraya, Soho & Storm in the build to All Out.
Good but rather short match from Julia VS Kiera, and Julia gets a win for momentum going into more of a feud with Anna Jay. They’ll surely escalate to a No Disqualification match since Anna’s been in some really wild ones already. Great 8 Man Tag from FTR & Triple J VS Varsity Trustbusters. They executed the dysfunctional “can they coexist?” trope well here, especially since FTR & Triple J still won. I’m pretty sure this is all building to FTR VS Triple J for the AEW World Tag Team Championships to get a defense under this reign for Cash & Dax as they start on their final four years.
Great to hear we’re getting Cassidy VS Bandido, but I feel like Cassidy’s story with the House of Black can’t be over so soon. Sure, Best Friends lost in the Trios title match, and Cassidy beat Buddy, but I feel like Malakai Black should get his shot at Cassidy and the title before Cassidy loses. And we got an awesome main event with the AAA Mega title, but as I’ve said before in AEW and ROH coverage, this title isn’t changing hands outside of AAA events. LFI beating Vikingo down should’ve been a cue for their other rivals to make the save, but I guess there was no one like that available for this moment.
My Score: 8.6/10

The CEO wants eyes up here, cameraman. “Tacomaaa~! Say hello to your Double Champion, The C E O. And we have arrived! Now where is my locker room?” Mone asks a AEW staff member that very question, and hopes she has her espresso machine. She has to get ready for the show. Queen Aminata steps in to say that she doesn’t care who Mone is, or how many titles she has, or what she’s done in this business. There is no reason to be rude like this. Oh, no reason~! Who even are YOU? Mone has no time for Aminata. Now, to her locker room! The CEO has disrespected a queen, will she come to regret it?

MJF has them cut his music, but he has no mic in hand. MJF and Garcia are face to face in the ring, talking a lot of trash, but then Perry CLOBBERS Garcia! The fans boo and MJF steps back. The Scapegoat is a snake, and MJF grins because he’s a vulture! MJF takes off his coat, then his shirt, and he mocking asks if Garcia is okay, before raining down fists! The fans boo more, and now MJF wants a mic! MJF stands on Garcia’s neck as he says, “Danny, it’s been awhile since I saw you, buddy. As I recall, last time I saw you, I beat you without breaking a sweat. And then I went on to make several movies and several millions. Bu tone second.”
MJF rains down more fists! Then MJF says Garcia’s been up to big stuff since then, too. Apparently there was a bidding war? That was about as real as the Seattle Supersonics. The fans boo that but MJF says he’s talking, Seattle! Oh wait, this is Tacoma! WHO GIVES A S*IT!? But hey, Garcia, thanks for telling MJF that his Dynamite Diamond Ring was in a pawn shop somewhere in Buffalo. It took some time, but MJF found it! And now Garcia’s gonna kiss it!

Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy and Jerry Lynn.
Renee is with Freshly Squeezed and the Board of Directors member, and says Jerry has something to say to Cassidy. Jerry thanks Cassidy for the time, and wants us to know that he has been doing this for 40 YEARS, yet has never seen anyone like Cassidy. Cassidy is unique, special, connects with the fans, and even connects with other wrestlers. Jerry even dressed as Cassidy for Halloween last year. But Jerry just wants to know that while Cassidy has been through some stuff, Cassidy stepped up. With all the chaos going on, if Cassidy really wanted to, if he really tried, he could be the man around here. Just food for thought.
Jerry leaves, but in steps Hook. Hook says he should listen to Jerry. Cassidy is the man. Hook and Cassidy fist bump, and Cassidy definitely has something to think about. Will Orange look to have gold once again?
Prince Nana is here!
The fans cheer as he’s already in the ring, mic in hand. He plugs Prince Nana Coffee, but then says he has to bring out our man for the update. He is the Forever AEW World Champion, the most dangerous man in AEW, and his boss, “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” The fans fire up as The Realest makes his entrance, gets a spotlight and pyro, and he goes to the ring. The “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” continues, and then Nana hands the mic to Swerve. The fans chant “Welcome Home! Welcome Home!” and Swerve says, “Not gonna lie, man. It feels a little weird being out here without the AEW World Championship around my waist.
“But with that home welcoming, I’m kinda happy again. Thank you very much.” The fans cheer, and we get more “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Swerve says they’re saying what he needs for him. But to cut to the chase, his medical update. It is a little wonky, he still has tingling in his neck that shoots to his waist, legs, and fingers. It is like all the things he said about Bryan is coming back on him. Karma’s a mug, huh? But that all said… Swerve is medically cleared. The fans cheer that! Swerve wanted to come out here and address his hometown, his people, and tell us all about the past, the present, and what he plans for the future.
But then Montel Vontavious Porter interrupts. A future? What a great segue, Swerve! Because the future is what MVPÂ and Shelton Benjamin are here to discuss. But maybe minion Nana didn’t pass word along, because Swerve hasn’t called, answered emails, answered DMs, so maybe Swerve must be in deep contemplation thinking about his decisions regarding his future. MVP & Shelton join Swerve & Nana in the ring. MVP says they have history They go way back! In fact, MVP believed in Swerve even before Swerve did. MVP told Swerve about the great things that lay ahead. MVP is the one who said on The Wrestlers that their future was in great hands!
The fans chant “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” and MVP says yes, it IS Swerve’s House! It is! But see, right now, unfortunately for Swerve, his career is floundering. The fans boo, but MVP says hold on. His resume speaks for itself. One thing MVP is good at is taking former champions and helping them remember the things that what allowed them to be great. To ascend to the mountaintop and have the titles they should have. So now, let’s talk business. Swerve says first off, hello. Secondly, MVP did give Swerve a lot of great advice back in like 2017. Remember that match they had in Defy? Fans cheer that name drop!
And remember when Swerve won? Yes, MVP did! Swerve learned a whole lot that night that he still carries with him. And even further, Swerve saw MVP take a lot of great stars and put them to superstardom, above pro-wrestling! So inspiring! Just like Shelton Benjamin! The fans cheer as Swerve says Shelton’s a big inspiration to a lot of people! 12-year-old Swerve would be crying just standing here with Shelton! Shelton’s presence on TV meant so much to Swerve, because it paved the way for Black wrestlers in this ring, all because of Shelton. The fans cheer that!
But now… Swerve was watching the show. And Nana, the stuff MVP has been saying, it’s not wrong. Uh oh. The last couple months have not been good. Swerve can’t even remember what happened in the cage match from getting beat so bad. But since being with Nana, Swerve has lost the main event at All Out, has lost his childhood home, but most importantly, he lost the AEW World Championship. Swerve says that was all under Nana’s watch. On the other hand, Swerve wouldn’t have had all that if not for Nana. The fans cheer that! But then on the other hand again, Swerve and MVP go away back! The potential of what they could do in AEW… They could make some real history.
Swerve likes having power more than anyone. He is already the most dangerous man, so with MVP & Shelton, OH MY GAWD! Though, Nana, gotta say, there are a lot of things just kinda irk Swerve. Swerve is watching the percentages in his wages going up and up. Not sure what that’s about. Nana’s still selling weed to high schoolers in parking lots… So Hangman was right?! Swerve says yes, that’s still a thing. Nana is neurotic, sporadic, absent minded, but the biggest thing is… Nana is… family. And Swerve doesn’t turn on his back on family for anybody! The fans cheer as Swerve tells MVP to take his business cards and shove ’em!
The fans cheer, nana does his dance, and swerve says we’re in whose house? “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Shelton gets in Swerve’s face and says he misread the situation. See, they weren’t asking. They were telling Swerve that there is no Swerve without them. So he’s either with them or against them. Nana steps in, Shelton shoves Nana but Swerve shoves Shelton! MVP has Shelton stand down, they gotta pick their spot! Refs and Daniels rush out here, fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT!” but Shelton DECKS a ref! MVP says NO, that’s not how they do this! MVP and Shelton leave first, and the fans are on Swerve’s side. What will MVP & Shelton do to make Swerve pay for this disrespect?

Matt has the “terrible music” stop, and he tells Private party that fine, yes, five years ago, Private Party beat them. We’ve seen the clips a million times, big deal. But five years later, and this is the biggest match of their entire careers, right? But after Private Party beat Bucks back then, what did they do? NOTHING! And so why do these dorks think they can win the titles now?

Moxley and Bryan rise while fans chant “YES! YES! YES!” Bryan goes up, but Moxley ROCKS him first! Moxley climbs up, CLAWS Bryan’s back, and then rips the tape away so he can BITE Bryan’s neck and shoulders! The ref reprimands but Moxley is an animal! The fans tell Moxley he’s sick, but Bryan slips under to trip Moxley up! Bryan puts Moxley in the Tree of Woe, to BITE Moxley’s forehead! The fans fire up, and Bryan KICKS away on Moxley! “YES! YES! YES!” Bryan goes corner to corner to BASEMENT DROPKICK! Bryan sits Moxley back up, climbs up behind him, but Moxley fights with elbows.
Bryan sits down a moment, but he hooks his legs into the ropes! SPIDER GERMAN SUPLEX! Bryan sits up and the fans are thunderous! Bryan adjusts, “YES! YES! YES!” DIVING HEADBUTTÂ FLOPS as Moxley moves! CURB STOMP!! Cover, TWO!! But Moxley gator rolls Bryan into the BULLY CHOKE!! Bryan endures, fights around, and the fans rally up! Moxley moves around and he KNEES Bryan in the head again and again! Moxley is back on the BULLY CHOKE! Moxley pushes up as hard as he can, but Bryan endures! The fans rally up, and Bryan rolls through to then reel Moxley in! PILEDRIVER!!
Both men are down and the fans are thunderous! Moxley clutches his neck as he slowly falls back, and a standing count begins. Both men are down at 5 of 10, but they start to sit up. Moxley checks his neck, we’re at 7 of 10, and Moxley stands. Bryan goes to ropes, Moxley storms over, and the two stare down. The fans fire up as Bryan eggs Moxley on! The two circle, and Bryan says one for one! So Moxley fires a forearm! Bryan says okay, and he fires back! They go back and forth with forearm after forearm, but Moxley comes back as soon as Bryan hits him! The shots go faster and faster, “YES! NO! YES! NO!”
But then Bryan wobbles! Moxley has a sinister grin, and he sits Bryan up to KICK! Moxley runs, but Bryan blocks the boot! Bryan UPPERCUTS, UPPERCUTS and UPPERCUTS! Bryan whips, Moxley reverses, but Bryan ducks ‘n’ dodges to LEAPING LARIAT! The fans are thunderous again as Bryan rises again! Bryan storms up to KICK! KICK! KICK! “YES! YES! YES!” Bryan winds up, to BUZZSAW! The fans are thunderous again as Moxley falls over! Bryan fires up more, and he goes to the corner for “YES! YES! YES!” Moxley rises, but Marina hooks Bryan! The ref caught Marina, but Moxley hits a CUTTER!!
The ref finally EJECTS Marina! The fans fire up while Marina throws a fit! The ref says try him, see what happens! Marina has no choice but to retreat, and the fans sing “Hey Hey Hey~, Goodbye~!” Moxley scowls but he goes back to Bryan. Bryan slowly rises while Moxley paces. Moxley says this is how it has to end! Underhooks and- NO, Bryan wrenches to ROLLING ELBOW! Moxley ducks a roundhouse to GERMAN SUPELX! Bryan is right up to BUSAIKU KNEE!! Cover, TWO!! Moxley survives and the fans fire up again! The fans start singing, “You’re Gonna Get Your Effin’ Head Kicked In!” Bryan says yes he is!
Bryan grabs Moxley to DRAGON STOMP! Again and again and again, “YES! YES! YES!” And then omoplata, LEBELL LOCK!! Moxley endures, reaches out, and claws forward! Bryan pulls on the hold, then hooks the free arm! Moxley shifts to have a ROPEBREAK with his leg! Bryan lets go and Moxley bails out, but Bryan is not deterred. Bryan builds speed to DIVE! But Moxley catches him!! DEATH RIDERÂ to bare concrete!! Moxley writhes while Bryan clutches his neck. Moxley hauls Bryan into the ring, stumbles in to cover, TWO!?!? Bryan survives and the fans are thunderous again!
Moxley sits Bryan up, leans on his old friend, and he rains down HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS!! Then the SLEEPER! Bryan endures, pries at the hold, and the fans rally up as hard as they can! Bryan fights up, has Moxley as a backpack, and he marches over to the ROPEBREAK! But then Bryan climbs the corner! The fans fire up again, and Bryan goes to the second rope for a SUPER BACKPACK SENTON! Moxley lets go, both he and Bryan are down, and the fans rally up again. Bryan sits up, Moxley kicks at him! Bryan kicks back! The fans say “YES! NO!” as the two go back and forth with the kicks! Then “YES! YES! YES!” as Bryan fires off!

Bryan fires elbows, Moxley endures and stacks, then pops free to float and REAR NAKED CHOKE, into an ARMBAR! But Bryan shifts, slips free, LEG CAPTURE SUPLEX! Moxley’s right up!? Bryan dodges him, to BUSAIKU KNEE!! Cover, TWO!?!? The fans fire up again, BUSAIKU- LARIAT!! Moxley hauls Bryan up, to LARIAT again! Cover, TWO!! Bryan is still in this and the fans stay fired up! Moxley paces, soaks up the heat, and vows to end it now.
Moxley drags Bryan up and underhooks, DEATH RIDER!! Cover, ONE?!?!? Bryan defies Moxley and the fans are electric! “YES! YES! YES!” and both men rise up. Moxley tells Bryan not to make him do this. Moxley sits Bryan up, but Bryan SPITS at Moxley, then SLAPS him! Moxley reels Bryan in, GOTCH STYLE PILEDRIVER!!! And then SLEEPER!! BULLY CHOKE!! Bryan flails, reaches out, pries at the hold, stands up again, and Moxley is again a backpack! Moxley slips down, squeezes tight, and the fans rally as hard as they can for Bryan! But Bryan is fading! Moxley brings Bryan down into the REAR NAKED CHOKE! BRYAN IS OUT?!?! MOXLEY WINS!!!
Winner: Jon Moxley, by submission (NEW AEW World Champion)
The fans cannot believe it! They cannot accept it! But it is reality! The Maniac slays The American Dragon by squeezing the life out of him! And yet, he bows to show respect to Bryan? Bryan’s own promise was that as soon as he lost this title, he’d step back from in-ring competition. Moxley is now joined by his Blackpool Combat Club, Marina, Pac and Claudio Castagnoli. The title is put in a duffel bag for whatever reason, and Marina now has a plastic bag?! Moxley wants to do like he did to Bryan at All Out?! But here comes Wheeler Yuta AND Darby Allin! They run The BCC off and spare Bryan from more!
Darby eyes Moxley, dares him to try something, but then Yuta BUSAIKU KNEES Darby?!?! Even Yuta seems like he didn’t want to, but he fell back in line with the BCC! Is it because Bryan lost and there’s no reason to be loyal to him anymore?! Pac meanwhile stomps Darby into the corner, and Marina duct tapes Darby to the ropes! The fans cuss out Yuta, they boo The BCC, but Moxley stalks Bryan. Marina splashes Darby with water to wake him up to watch. Moxley gives Yuta the plastic bag!? Yuta shakes his head, but he still BAGS Bryan!!! The fans are losing their minds but Yuta tells Bryan to stop fighting it! Just stop fighting it!
Darby tells The BCC to stop this, and security rushes out here, but The BCC kicks them all away!! Yuta is choking Bryan out, even though he doesn’t want to! Private Party runs out here, they get kicked away! Jeff Jarrett runs in but he gets mugged, too! Moxley and Jarrett brawl but Moxley JAMS Jarrett with a chair! Claudio puts a chair around Bryan’s neck?!? Wasn’t taking the title and his career enough!? Darby SPITS at Claudio but he can’t do anything while stuck in the corner! Moxley gives the go ahead, and Claudio CURB STOMPS Bryan!!! Private Party & Jarrett keep trying, but now here comes the rest of the locker room!!
The Conglomeration, Hook, Daniel Garcia, Adam Cole, they all get out here and run The BCC off, but the damage has been done. Darby is freed from the corner, medical is hurried into the ring, and a stretcher is already brought out. The bottom rope is removed so the EMTs can bring Bryan out of the ring. The fans chant “Thank You, Bryan!” as this may very well be the last time anyone sees him on AEW programming again. Why did Moxley and the BCC have to go this far?
My Thoughts:
A mostly awesome WrestleDream, but much like All Out, mixed feelings with how a lot of things went. The Zero Hour had great stuff as always, but this one time, I felt like it only needed three matches. The best thing was the first match where Cage won the TV Championship. That is great for him, and for ROH overall since Atlantis Jr. is a CMLL guy and wasn’t always part of ROH programming. Cage can be a fighting champion, or at least I’d like if he was, and that’s going to be a lot of fun. MXM Collection’s third man reveal was cool for continuity from way back when, but still a letdown when this could’ve really freshened things up in The Acclaimed’s story, even if it meant Caster turning on Bowens to thereby end The Acclaimed.
Good win for Anna Jay in a really good match between her and Harley, the only other women’s match on the night. The 8 Man Tag match was a lot of fun, too, and it at least established Conglomeration being in town for things relevant to them. Cassidy’s promo with Jerry Lynn and Hook kinda didn’t need to happen tonight, though, that could’ve been a Dynamite promo. For that matter, same for Mone & Kamille disrespecting Aminata, they could’ve played that at the start of a Dynamite or Collision and still set up Mone VS Aminata the same way. Meanwhile, Kyle and Okada having their promo and brawl was the one thing that was fitting, since we saw Kyle in a match and Okada was free. That will be a great match, maybe for Battle of the Belts next Saturday.
Match order on an AEW PPV is always a touch confusing, but I appreciated Hangman VS White opened. That was a great match to really test White in his return, and a great win for it. Hangman might not let White move on yet, because for one, not sure who White’s other target could be. Christian Cage & The Patriarchy for taking the trios titles? That’d be fun. Awesome 2 Out of 3 Falls from Hologram VS Mortos, but I’m not sure it needed to be on PPV if there wasn’t really anything on the line. Granted, we all love Hologram and Mortos so who wouldn’t want to see this? A little surprised Rush didn’t show up, though, to try and establish a match with Hologram.
Great stuff in all the championship matches, but again, some mixed feelings. Mariah VS Willow was great stuff, and for a moment I thought Willow could’ve had it, but no, Mariah retains. No Mina Shirakawa at all but maybe she shows up for Dynamite as Mariah wants her celebration. Also, I’d like to think even if Britt had faced Willow on Title Tuesday and won then to be here tonight, she probably would’ve been fed to Mariah, too, for the sake of building Mariah up. At least, that would be fair, as Britt only just returned again after All Out and does need a little bit of time before she’s world champion again.
Great TNT Championship match from Perry and Shibata, and Perry snatching victory from the jaws of defeat was a great way to do that. We’ve seen that kind of finish here and there, so it was great for Perry to survive rather than beat Shibata. Plus, great opening for Garcia to confront Perry, MJF to return and confront Garcia, and then Cole to return and confront MJF. Cole VS MJF is finally going to happen, and perhaps it was best that things turned out like this. MJF reverted back to Heel, which is still his strongest persona, and Cole has proven himself a strong Face, these two can have a great match for Full Gear that sends the winner towards a title.
The International Championship Triple Threat was awesome, but I did not think they’d go this way with Fletcher. I thought Fletcher was going to save Ospreay from Callis, but apparently not. Fletcher now sees things Callis’ way, he turns on Ospreay, and other than maybe Ricochet helping out, Ospreay is likely fighting the Don Callis Family alone. Silver lining is Konosuke now has the title, as he has deserved a title for a long time. Meanwhile, The Bucks VS Private Party was awesome, BUT the wrong choice was made. After talking so much about “five years, what’ve you done?” and having Amazing Red join in on that entrance video, Private Party should’ve won and humbled The Bucks.
Even then, they did nothing with Top Flight or Stokely being ringside, other than both sides having cause to say “Told you so.” Granted, such a promo can happen on Dynamite, but they wouldn’t need such promos if Private Party won. Instead, Stokely could recruit a new team, or even just join Top Flight as their manager, and they take on Private Party to put over some young talent that fans all still really like. Briscoe VS Jericho was really good stuff, and it was properly overbooked with Keith & Bill getting involved, with Rocky & Cassidy stopping them. I’m personally glad Mark retained, we don’t need Jericho having the ROH title again, but it also did stop there from being twists like Rocky turning, feeling jaded over how things have gone on Dynamite and Rampage.
Great promo segment with Swerve and the unofficially “Hurt Syndicate” tonight. Swerve lived up to his nickname as he kept swerving us on which way he was going. Good reference of continuity between Defy, some implied WWE crossover, and then stuff Hangman brought up in the beginning of his feud with Swerve, lots of fun. But as I figured, Swerve did not leave Nana, he and Nana are sticking together. Good stuff from Shelton getting heated, but I was kinda hoping Bobby Lashley would show up to really get fans going nuts. Perhaps Swerve VS Shelton happens, Swerve wins, and then Lashley shows up then to set up a match with Swerve at Full Gear. Either way, it all feels like the trope of “You lose, you join up” will be used.
Great stuff with Darby VS Brody but WOW, didn’t think they’d go that hard with the steel steps. Great win for Darby, though, and great show of respect between him and Brody. Darby is certainly poised to go after the world title again, given his part in the ending tonight, and maybe it happens at Full Gear, but who knows. The world championship was awesome, even with Marina getting involved here and there, and it seems bare concrete is going to be the go-to move for Moxley and Marina. As I said at the start, mixed feelings. For one, Bryan passes out for the loss, but I suppose that’s the most fitting for Bryan. He wasn’t ever gonna tap out, and apparently Moxley has no move that can take Bryan out for the pinfall, it’s one of those “body gave out before his spirit did” tropes.
The biggest mixed feeling is everything with what happened after. On one hand, I just knew Yuta was joining BCC again. The way they framed that shot of Darby staring Moxley down, Yuta was primed to attack Darby. But on the other hand, they really went to a scary place with how they didn’t just beat up Bryan, but they went like rated R action movie with this. The plastic bag, the choking, the chaos of other Faces running out there but getting fought off, the chair around the neck, all well done to stir up these feelings, but still… It was one thing for this to be Bryan’s last match and we could say #ThankYouBryan and it’s bittersweet, but it’s another to push the envelope and (even if it’s just kayfabe) make this feel like Bryan’s last moment on camera period.
My Score: 9.1/10

Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.
Renee Paquette doesn’t do the CEO introduction she did on Tuesday, but now it’s not good enough for the Two Belt Boss! Mone says she needs something something, more flava. Then joining her now is- Okay, no, Renee is better off just asking the questions. Renee congratulates Mone on her double title defense victory on Title Tuesday, but those chops from Emi Sakura…! It was like one after another! Wasn’t it like 30 or something? Mone & Kamille tell Renee to stop. Mone is still feeling the pain. But she is The CEO, she has no time for this, it is time to handle business. She has to go jump on her private jet, something Renee knows nothing about!
But Kamille is staying here to watch Kris Statlander very closely. And do you know why? Because money changes everything! Bye-bye, Renee. Mone heads out, Brickhouse stays, and Renee sheepishly exits. Will Kamille make sure the #BornAgainKristen doesn’t just talk the talk but walks the walk?
The Acclaimed VS ???
Speaking of talking and walking, Platinum Max Caster leads the way for Anthony Bowens as they- GET JUMPED BY MXM COLLECTION!? The fans boo as Mansoor & Mason Madden beat down Caster & Bowens! Mason may have been a football player but he dribbles Caster off the ramp while Mansoor stomps away on Bowens! Mason RIPS the customized jacket, to then CHOKE Caster with it! Mansoor runs Bowens right into the side of the tunnel! MXM is getting revenge for their New York fashion show finale being ruined, and they place The Acclaimed side by side on stage.
Mansoor has Caster’s mic to say, “Now you see what happens, huh!? Now you see what happens when Daddy Ass isn’t around to protect you. We drop you on YOUR asses! And I bet you didn’t think we could do it, huh? I bet none of you thought MXM Collection were capable of this!” Bowens tris to sit up but Mansoor stomps him down. Mansoor says MXM didn’t wanna take it this far! They wanted to keep it light. They wanted to keep it fun. But Acclaimed took something special from them! They took MXM’s Grand Slam Collision moment away!
“So now, we are going to take something from you. Tomorrow night, WrestleDream, MXM Collection BEAT The Acclaimed, and WE are going to take YOUR spot!” The fans boo, but Mansoor says when numbers are even, MXM come out on top. Tomorrow night, MXM will have a very special surprise in their corner. It will be a third man, and Acclaimed, Mansoor promises them, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that third man will make sure they KILL scissoring and bury it once and for all! Mansoor then shouts to Mason, “Touch! My! Tip!” They finger boop as the fans boo, but both challenge and promise have been made. Who will be that third man, brother?
Kris Statlander speaks.
“You ever feel like somewhere along the way, you lost who you were? That’s exactly what happened to me. When you make a change, you need to think where you went wrong or how you got there. For me, everything went wrong when Mercedes Mone showed up. My best friend became obsessed with her. I let Stokely get in my ear, and I got led down the wrong path. I didn’t know who I was, but I did what I needed to do. And on the five year anniversary of Dynamite, I was reminded of who I am. I became ‘Born Again Kristen,’ and I am the biggest, baddest, strongest woman in AEW. I’m coming for Mercedes Mone and her TBS title.”
The Galaxy’s Greatest has her head on straight, but will she be able to earn that shot at championship redemption in the background of WrestleDream?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Renee is with Cassidy, Kyle and Rocky, and she commends Cassidy & Kyle on their win over The Kingdom. And tonight, Rocky is going to step into the ring with “The Bad Apple,” Bryan Keith. How does he feel ahead of his match? Rocky says he’s a little pissed. On Title Tuesday, The Learning Tree said Rocky was just some lackey for The Conglomeration. But Rocky is no man’s lackey! Tonight, he shows the Learning Tree, and most importantly Bryan Keith, that Rocky is his own man. Kyle says that’s right, Rocky. But um, Mark Briscoe isn’t here tonight, so what’s the word of the day? Kyle really needs to know.
Rocky says the word of the day is they stand back here while he handles business. Rocky heads out, will Azucar get himself some sweet victory? Or will The Bad Apple make him taste bitter defeat?
Kris Statlander VS Amira!
With The CEO’s Brickhouse watching backstage, #BornAgainKristen looks to keep her win streak going. Will there be no stopping Kris on her road back to the TBS Championship?
The bell rings, and Kris runs right up to UPPERCUT Amira in a corner! Then she goes side to side to KNEE Amira, and reels her in for a suplex! Kris holds Amira up to show off that strength, and then she SLAMS Amira down! Kris kips up and the fans fire up! Kris storms back up on Amira, but Amira fires forearms! Kris shoves Amira, Amira ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl, but Kris stops the rana! Tuck and STATURDAY NIGHT FEVER! Cover, Kris wins!
Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall
Another win that wasn’t just strong, but fast! Kamille is only moderately impressed, but will she be feeling different about Kris after they have a head-on Collision?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
Renee is with The Learning Tree and brings up tomorrow night, WrestleDream, and the ROH World Championship match with Mark Briscoe. However, Jericho has quickly made this match personal with Mark, what is going on? Jericho smiles and says, “Hi, guys~! You know what’s personal to me, Renee? It’s the legacy of Chris Jericho. And after 34 years in this business, I can honestly say I’ve done and seen it all. I have headlined the biggest buildings in the world, from the Tokyo Dome to Madison Square Garden, to Rod Laver Arena in Sydney, Australia. Arena Mexico, everything. Nobody has had the impact over generations like Chris Jericho has.
“And now, it’s the dawn of a new Chris Jericho. As you know, I always reinvent myself, evolve. I was The Ocho. But now, it’s time for The Nueve. And Mark Briscoe, you know what the word of the day is? It’s, ‘Humbled.’ And you need to be humbled. Cuz you got a great rep, everyone feels for you. They give you a lot of free rides. You get to cut a lot of corners. The fans feel the same way, I don’t. So at WrestleDream tomorrow, I am going to humble you, Mark Briscoe. And if I made things personal, that’s just too bad. If I’m getting inside your head, that’s just what Chris Jericho does.
“So tomorrow at WrestleDream, I will become the ROH World Champion, for a second time! Just like Jay Briscoe, two-time ROH Champion. And Mark, that’s going to be personal. See you tomorrow. The Nueve’s coming. Thanks, guys~!” Jericho stops smiling, but will he fail to keep that promise against a very angry Sussex County Chicken?
The Beast Mortos VS The Butcher!
Roderick Strong is on commentary to claim Beast Mortos has simply wondered away from The Kingdom, and he just needs to see he cannot trust Jake The Snake Roberts. But will Mortos only focus on destroying his opponent? Or can The Butcher make Mortos in a prime cut of beef?
The bell rings and the fans rally up as the two circle. They tie up, are in a deadlock, then break. The fans rally, the two tie up again, and then the two break again. Butcher and Mortos fire up, tie up again, and push each other back and forth. Butcher puts Mortos in the corner, the fans chant “BEAT THAT MEAT!” but the ref counts. Butcher backs off, he and Mortos reset, and they tie up again. They’re in another deadlock, but now Mortos powers Butcher back. Mortos lets off, but then SMACKS Butcher! The fans fire up as Butcher snarls. Butcher and Mortos tie up, and Butcher wrenches an arm to a wristlock.
Mortos goes up the ropes to flip through! Mortos wrenches, headlocks, but Butcher powers out. They RAM shoulders, and Butcher says Mortos’s got nothing! Mortos runs, he RAMS Butcher again, and Butcher says that’s nothing! Mortos fires up, runs, and RAMS Butcher again! Mortos eggs Butcher on, so Butcher runs, and Mortos drops! Mortos runs up, Butcher dodges but Mortos dodges back! Mortos rolls off Butcher’s back, then SOBATS! Front kick! ELBOW! Snapmare, and NECK TWIST! The fans fire up with Mortos, even Roddy cheers, and Mortos runs up. Butcher BOOTS back!

Roddy says he was Mortos’ good luck charm! Jake the Snake is watching, he likes what he sees from his new client. But will Mortos be able to bring down Hologram in their WrestleDream Best 2 Out of 3 Falls match?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee is with the wild Aussie and asks if there’s any update on Saraya, who suffered in that brutal loss on Title Tuesday in that Fatal 4 Way. Harley says yes, Saraya is once again “incapacitated.” Then how is Harley holding up? She’s capacitated. What? Exactly! But do you know whose fault this really is? Does Renee know whom? Who? No, whom. Just say whom. ANNA JAY! What? She wasn’t even in the match! Exactly! It was an Anything Goes, so Anna could’ve been that anything, but she didn’t show up. Harley had to pull wood outta her ass, but where was Anna? Probably home watching her Stardom tapes? Ohh~!
All of a sudden, Anna goes to Japan and now she’s too big for the rest of them? Anna was supposed to be Saraya’s friend, but she wasn’t there, and now Saraya is pissed. And when Saraya is pissed, Harley kicks ass! Renee is confused, Harley says no more questions, and Harley storms off. Will the Star of the Show pay for simply doing nothing?
Lance Archer VS Matt Brannigan!
He may be part of the Don Callis Family now, but he’s still the Murderhawk Monster! He demolished people in the parking lot, he demolished his opponent on ROH last night, will he just keep on demolishing people until he’s become a champion?
The bell rings and Brannigan flexes right up in Archer’s face, but then regrets it. Archer choke grips, but Brannigan slips free! Brannigan dodges in the corner, CHOPS, but again regrets it. He CHOPS again, and again, then tries a choke grip! Archer just pries the hand away to LARIAT Brannigan inside-out! Archer whips Brannigan, BACKDROPS him, and the fans fire up! Brannigan goes to a corner. Archer runs in to ELBOW! Archer keeps going, and he ELBOWS Brannigan again! And then ELBOWS him again! Brannigan falls, the fans fire up, and Archer drags Brannigan to his feet. Double choke grip, for a TOSS overhead!
The fans fire up while Brannigan flounders. Archer reminds us, “EVERYBODY DIES!” Archer stands Brannigan up, tells the ref to back off, and he CHOPS Brannigan down! The fans fire up, Archer puts Brannigan back in the corner, and he fakes the chop. The fans boo but Archer puts Brannigan up top. UPPERCUT, and then crucifix lift! BLACKOUT BOMB! Cover, Archer wins!
Winner: Lance Archer, by pinfall
Callis loves the dominance of his Murderhawk Monster, but will Callis help Archer finally have gold here in AEW?
Jake the Snake speaks.
It was just after Title Tuesday and the world saw La Faccion Ingobernable join this living legend when Jake Roberts said, “Anybody that knows Jake Roberts knows that Jake Roberts has been all over the world, wrestled everyone. From Andre the Giant to Hulk Hogan and back. It did not matter. But they also know that Jake Roberts never cared about rules. Rules are for children. We’re not children. My friend, what we have here, matadors? Maybe. Maybe ninjas, who knows. I will tell you this: They’re hungry. What are we going to do next? That should be the question in your mind. Because when Jake Roberts tells you something, you can take it to heart.
“Rules are meant to be broken, like bones. And my friend, they’ll be glad to do both for you.” Rush tells us all to remember: If you mess with the bull, you get the horns! LFI throw up the fists, who will get those fists in their face in the very near future?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Renee is now with The Star of the Show and brings up the harsh words from Harley. Harley blames Anna for not being a friend? Anna says yes, that’s right, they’re not friends, never were friends. It was a one-time team up, and they took some nice pictures, but Anna’s not running out to the ring to help two women who wouldn’t even spit on her if she was on fire. Anna takes care of herself, and that is fine. She has her own back, and needs both hands. What has she been saying since getting back? #JustTryMe. So what’s so hard about that? Anna is here and ready for anyone.
Harley wants to kick Anna’s ass? This one? Anna shows it to the camera. Just a heads up, this ass can kick back. Harley has been warned, will she reconsider her misplaced aggression?
Rocky Romero VS Bryan Keith!
Azucar may not be on the current Conglomeration merch shirt, but that doesn’t mean he’s any less a part of the team. Will Rocky make sure everyone, especially The Bad Apple, understands that?
But Keith doesn’t wait for the bell, he attacks Rocky at the corner! The bell does ring, Keith fires off forearms, and the ref reprimands. Keith lets off just to dig his boot in, but the ref tells Keith to stop. Keith snatches Rocky’s eyepatch away, then SMACKS him with it! Keith CHOPS Rocky, whips him corner to corner, but Rocky goes up and up to CROSSBODY! Rocky rains down fists, and he fires up! The fans fire up with Rocky but Keith bails out. Rocky finally takes off his jacket, and goes out after Keith. Keith knees low, whips, but Rocky stops from hitting steps! Rocky SMACKS Keith off steps, then uses steps to go up and FLYING RANA!
The fans fire up while Rocky gives some Latino Heat. Rocky puts Keith in, climbs a corner, but Keith bails out. The fans boo, but then Rocky WRECKS Keith with a dropkick! Rocky hurries out after Keith and the fans rally again. Rocky uses steps again, but Keith catches Rocky! EXPLODERÂ to the floor! Rocky writhes and Rampage goes picture in picture.
Keith storms up on Rocky, rains down fists, but stops as the ref reprimands. Keith paces around, drags Rocky up, and CHOPS him! Rocky staggers away, Keith storms up and CHOPS again. Keith whips Rocky hard into railing! Rocky falls in a heap but Keith still seethes. Keith drags Rocky up, puts him in, and then drags Rocky up just to snapmare him back down. Keith drops a knee on Rocky’s face! Cover, TWO! Keith argues the count but Aubrey defends that two is two. Keith storms after Rocky to CHOP him in a corner. Keith stalks Rocky, bumps him off buckles, then puts him against ropes!
Aubrey counts, Keith lets off, and Keith puts Rocky in a corner. Keith whips corner to corner, Rocky reverses, then Rocky runs up to LARIAT! Rocky fires up, runs again, LARIAT! That’s two-ever but Rocky keeps moving, only for Keith to use Aubrey as a shield! Jericho really has taught him well. Rocky helps Aubrey aside, and he fires haymakers on Keith! Rocky ROCKS Keith, then whips corner to corner. Keith reverses, runs up, and he LARIATS Rocky inside-out! Keith then shouts at the camera, probably “RESPECT CHRIS JERICHO!” Keith clamps onto Rocky with a chinlock and grinds him down.
Rocky endures, pries at the hold, and fights up to his feet. Rocky fires body shots, then ROCKS Keith! And ROCKS him again! Keith CHOPS, Rampage returns to single picture, then he runs up. Rocky BOOTS back, but Keith just roars! Rocky BOOTS him again, then CHOPS Keith on the back! Rocky CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS Keith in the chest, then puts Keith in a corner. Rocky KICKS and KICKS and KICKS away, then stomps a mudhole! Rocky digs both boots in, but Aubrey counts. Rocky lets off and is all fired up, as is Spokane. Rocky waits on Keith, runs in at him, but Keith dodges! Keith runs in, but into an UPPERCUT!
Rocky goes up and up and FLYING TORNADO DDTS! Cover, TWO!! Keith survives but Rocky stays focused. Rocky drags Keith up, then runs up to SLICED- NO, Keith slips free of the bread. Keith fires elbows, Rocky ducks one, but Keith runs up ropes! Rocky denies Keith his tornado DDT, and then wrenches, only for Keith to ROCK him! Underhooks, TIGERÂ KNEE STRIKE! Cover, TWO!! Rocky survives and Keith is stunned! Keith pulls at his hair in frustration but the fans rally up. Keith tells the kids to sit down, and he watches Rocky go to a corner. Keith runs in, blocks a boot, but not the ENZIGIRI!
Rocky goes up, leaps, but into another clinch! EXP- SUNSET FLIP! Keith rolls through, blocks a kick, ducks the enzigiri, but not the REWIND HEEL! Rocky runs up, SLICED BREAD!! Cover, TWO!! Keith survives again and the fans fire up! Rocky pounds the mat, the fans rally behind him, and he goes to a corner. Rocky climbs, but Keith hurries after him! Rocky fights the clinch, ROCKS Keith, but Keith RISING HEADBUTTS! Keith roars, fans boo, but Keith climbs up. Keith turns Rocky around, and BITES Rocky’s head! Aubrey reprimands, but Keith brings Rocky up, only for Rocky to fight! Rocky HEADBUTTS, and cravats!
The fans fire up for the SUPER SLICED BREAD!! Rocky clutches a leg, crawls to the cover, but Keith rolls away! Keith saves himself and fans boo as he goes to the floor. Rocky is frustrated, but he just builds speed. Rocky DIVES and down goes Keith! The fans fire up again and Rocky hobbles after Keith. Rocky drags Keith up, puts him in the ring, and the fans rally again. But Keith talks to Aubrey about pain in his neck. BIG BILL APPEARS, and he YANKS Rocky down! Then he BOOTS Rocky down! The fans boo but Bill puts Rocky in, Aubrey completely missing it! Keith runs in to KNEE Rocky at the corner!
Keith goes up and he reels Rocky in! DIAMOND DUST!! Cover, Keith wins!!
Winner: Bryan Keith, by pinfall
Kyle & Cassidy hurry out here but it is too late! The Bad Apple scores his win off Azucar, and he leaves to celebrate with The Redwood. Will there be no stopping The Learning Tree from having gold in his branches? Or can Mark Briscoe #ManUp and prevent The Nueve’s arrival?
My Thoughts:
A very good Rampage, even for a go-home, but clearly it suffered from the same dilemma as Dynamite in that with no Collision to take the pressure off, a lot more promos and story build had to be put here. Good promo from Mone to play off the one from Tuesday, good promo from Statlander to give us some idea as to why she got away from Stokely, and of course Kris squashes her opponent. Kris VS Kamille is going to be great stuff, and I think Kris sets herself up for a match with Mone at Full Gear. Good promo from Harley and Anna to set up their own match, which I would think Anna wins to get going towards her own title shot.
The Acclaimed being scheduled for a match just so MXM can jump them was pretty clever, but do they really need to have their match on WrestleDream? It feels like the only reason it’s a PPV match is because this third man will pull a Hulk Hogan founding NWO type move. It’ll be a Face going Heel and joining up. I don’t think it’ll be Daddy Ass, there has been no hint he wants out of The Acclaimed. It might be Caster because he wants to break away and prove he on his own is “The Best Wrestler Alive.” This blindside attack would then be a way to disguise that, because Caster got beat up as much as Bowens, but I guess we’ll wait and see.
Mortos VS Butcher was great stuff, and I found it kinda funny that Roddy was on commentary trying to still turn Mortos back to his side. Roddy & The Kingdom claiming all this stuff about Mortos has been pretty funny because clearly it’s all their delusion. Mortos is LFI, he and Hologram are going to have an awesome, potentially show stealing match, and then win or lose, Mortos and LFI will beat up The Kingdom. As such, good promo from Jake the Snake, I really hope LFI gets going this time. Meanwhile, Archer of course destroyed Brannigan, and likewise, let’s hope Archer can get a title now that Callis is his guy.
And really good stuff out of The Conglomeration’s story tonight. Very good tag match to open, can’t go wrong with Cassidy & Kyle VS Kingdom. What’s interesting was the respectful handshake after the match, so that further implies The Kingdom is going Face so they can battle LFI. Good promo from Jericho to give some last hype to the ROH World Championship, but I would hope Mark Briscoe wins. Rocky had a very good promo with Conglomeration, and a great match against Bryan Keith. But I just had a feeling Keith would win thanks to Bill, and good detail that Conglomeration didn’t get out there in time. That technically did honor Rocky’s request that they stay back, but Rocky should’ve known better. I would hope Rocky doesn’t cost Mark the title, we cannot go back to “Ring of Jericho”. No Nueve, por favor.
My Score: 8.6/10
