MIRO IS BACKSTAGE!
Renee Paquette is surprised like the rest of us, and welcomes him back to AEW. What brings him back? Miro has no words, and just walks into Tony Khan’s office! What is the goal of The Redeemer now that he’s back?
MJF speaks.
“So what’s the deal? What do you guys want me to talk about, hm? Want me to talk about The Pillars? Okay. Let’s talk about The Pillars.” When AEW first started, four young men swept the nation with their talent, coming from practically outta nowhere. “We were like the Beatles, man.” Sammy Guevara is Ringo, “wildly talented, but stupid.” “Cool, calm, collected” Jungle Boy is like their George. And Darby Allin, “the dark, brooding artist” is John Lennon. And then there’s MJF. “I’m Paul. I’m the best. I’m the person that is going to have the most longevity. And since this company has started to gather between me and the three of them, it has only gotten bigger and bigger and bigger. It’s like a crater now.
“It’s kinda sad. I’m begging these boys to step up to the plate. Accomplish some of the things I’ve accomplished. Allow me to list some of them off. I’ve beaten some of the best: Jon Moxley; CM Punk; Chris Jericho; Cody Rhodes; Bryan Danielson. What’ve you guys done? I was in the best singles dog collar match in the history of professional wrestling. I was in the best Ironman match in the history of professional wrestling. At Double or Nothing, I will be in the best 4 Way in the history of professional wrestling. Every great moment in this sport has one thing in common, and that is the Generational Talent, that is the best professional wrestler in the world, that is your AEW World Heavyweight Champion, Maxwell Jacob Friedman. And my reign of terror has just begun.”
FTR is here!
Detroit fires up for Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler make their way to the ring. Dax gets the mic and says that he’s a bit worked up. But before they even get started, he and Cash need to apologize to someone. Dax wants their best friend, Mark Briscoe, to join them out here. But instead of Briscoe, Team Triple J makes its way out here! Jay Lethal, Jeff Jarrett, Sonjay Dutt & Satnam Singh walk down the ramp, and Sonjay has the mic to say, “Okay, okay, okay, that’s enough cheering for the greatest tag team in AEW today. So FTR, I need to say one thing to you: you have one job today, and that is accept the challenge that we issued to you last week.”
So Sonjay’s asking right here and now, does FTR accept the challenge for the AEW World Tag Team Championships at Double or Nothing in Las Vegas? Fans boo but Dax says okay, hold on. Do the fans want FTR to accept Triple J’s challenge? “NO!” That’s what Dax thought. But hold on, he has an idea. Dax & Cash will accept the challenge, if Triple J, especially Jarrett, “you complete a-hole,” admit to using Mark Briscoe to get ahead. Using Mark!? Yes! Using Mark to get to FTR. FTR thinks they’re using Mark Briscoe? Sonjay defends that Mark is their friend! Lethal is getting heated and already unbuttoning his shirt.
Dax says okay, fine. But then Mark makes his way out here! “What’s good, Motown?” Anyway, the boys need to all simmer down. Mark says everyone needs to relax. “It has become abundantly apparent to me that you fellas have a hard time controlling your emotions when you in the same vicinity. Okay, so I talked to my good friend, Tony Khan, and I got some news. In Las Vegas, at Double or Nothing, tag team title match, FTR VS Jay Lethal & Jeff Jarrett, I’m gonna be the special guest referee, baby!” Everyone likes that, and Mark says he’ll keep the peace somehow. But Lethal, take a cup and pass ’em around. They’re gonna keep the peace here and now.
Mark calls for a toast. Pour ’em some! Dax wants extra. Sonjay takes a sip, then SPITS it in FTR’s faces!! Fans boo as Lethal & Jarrett jump FTR! Mark tries to stop them but he’s one man against four! Jarrett shoves Mark at Dax, and Dax can’t see, so he instinctively hits a PILEDRIVER!! Cash tells Dax no, that was Mark! Even Triple J is shocked! Fans chant “YOU F’D UP!” and Triple J gets outta there! Dax realizes what he did, Jarrett says “Who’s the a-hole now?!” Will Mark understand that was all by mistake? Or have Triple J put the fix in already?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
Renee is with The Ocho, and she says there has been a lot of turmoil between him and Adam Cole lately. Cole got the better of Jericho the last time, how has Jericho been feeling since that attack? Jericho frowns, and says, “Best of me? Why do you say that with such glee, Renee? Everyone seems so happy that Adam Cole got the best of Chris Jericho after an unprovoked attack while I was doing commentary at the desk.” Jericho wasn’t prepared, and Cole created an unsafe work environment. Cole is exactly what Jericho said he was: a coward! So Jericho got legal counsel, and he now has a court order.
The court order says that if Jericho is in the building, Cole is BANNED! If Jericho is in an arena or venue, Cole is not allowed inside. Wanna mess around with Jericho?! But then Roderick Strong walks over and says, “Wow, Chris Jericho. Man, you really are delusional. See, Adam Cole is one of my best friends on the planet, and one thing he’s not is a coward. And as disappointing as it is that he’s banned from the building, guess who’s not banned from the building? Me. So how about you face me? But not in a wrestling match, in a fight! In a Falls Count Anywhere? Or are you too much of a coward?”
Jericho tells Roddy, “I understand you standing up for your friend. I understand. That’s loyal. That’s a good quality to have. But if you wanna make a name for yourself in AEW against Chris Jericho, you’re making a mistake. I’ll knock your damn teeth down your throat. You wanna Falls Count Anywhere? Next week on Dynamite, you got one. But remember this, Roderick. I got a whole army behind me. Be careful what you wish for.” Strong knew Jericho would do that, so Strong also got legal counsel. And the JAS is ALSO banned from the building. See you next week. Jericho looks at Strong’s papers, and it all checks out. Will The Ocho survive when he’s the only one fighting Strong?
Renee now waits outside Tony Khan’s office.
A busy night already, and she is hoping for a word with Miro. But then THUNDER ROSA walks over! And La Mera Mera says that tonight is a good night to talk to Papi Khan. Rosa walks in now, what does her return mean for AEW?
Sammy Guevara speaks.
“I’m one of the Pillars that shouldn’t have been. I’m the black sheep here. The only reason that I’m here is because I’m too good to deny.” Jericho says that from day one, Sammy’s been under his wing. Sammy says Jericho brought him in to be part of the Inner Circle. Jericho didn’t bring Sammy in as his second, as his understudy, but as a STAR. Sammy says he’ll show us what he’s always known, and the world’s about to find out. Jericho says Sammy’s taken the tactics and strategies Jericho’s taught him, and applied them to every match, and that’ll include the biggest match of his career, the AEW World Championship.
Tay Melo says that when she heard Sammy was getting this opporutnity, she knew that this is where he belongs. No one loves pro-wrestling like Sammy does. Sammy risks his life, puts everything on the line, because he knows he belongs at the top. He never had the “machine” pushing him, and he never needed it. Jericho says Sammy is leaving the word “potential” in the past. Sammy is at the point where he has realized his potential. He was born to do this. Sammy fights every day for an opporutnity, puts it all on the line for the fans and for himself. And to be able to say he’s world champion, that just shows that dreams come true.
For any of the kids watching, if you have something you want to do and you’re being told you can’t, none of that matters. Listen to your heart and go for it, and it’ll come true.
Tony Khan speaks.
“I think that tonight in Detroit, we have one of the strongest Dynamite cards that we’ve ever had. This is one of the best line-ups, some of the best matches, and some of the best wrestlers in AEW on tonight’s show. And in addition to all the great wrestlers and great wrestling you’re gonna see tonight, in the back, there are literally stars lined up, looking for chances to wrestle in AEW. I think it’s clearer than ever that AEW can produce even more great content every week. I’d like you to stay tuned to TNT next Wednesday for a huge announcement. And please join us next Wednesday here on AEW Dynamite, where we’ll follow up on one of the most important announcements ever in the history of AEW. Thank you. Let’s go back to the ring.”
AEW International Championship: Orange Cassidy VS Daniel Garcia!
The Freshly Squeezed fighting champion knows he’s banged up going into this match, but that isn’t going to scare him off. Will Cassidy be able to muster up some Orange Punch against Red Death? Or will the Dragonslayer become an Orangeslayer here tonight?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see what Cassidy has left in him!
The bell rings and fans rally up for “Freshly Squeezed! Freshly Squeezed!” Cassidy and Garcia stare down, and then Garcia mockingly puts his hands up and goes for pockets. But Cassidy shoots in to waistlock and SLAM! Cassidy holds on as Garcia moves around, but Garcia switches to SLAM Cassidy! Garcia floats all over Cassidy, slaps him around, then does his dance. Fans boo but Garcia grins and eggs Cassidy on. Cassidy stands, Garcia again mocks the hands up, but Cassidy grabs those hands to keep them out of the pockets. Cassidy shakes his head, and then traps Garcia’s arms behind his back!
Cassidy spins Garcia around and wrenches to have a cording hold, then headlocks. Garcia powers up and out, reels Cassidy back in, but Cassidy avoids the headlock to get the headlock! Fans cheer as Cassidy spins and arm-drags Garcia down! Cassidy has the armlock and fans cheer his technical ability. Garcia fights up, wrenches, and wristlocks.

Garcia drags Cassidy up, and whips him hard into railing! Garcia soaks up more heat, does his dance again, then drags Cassidy back up.

Garcia then drags Cassidy up, and snap suplexes! Cover, TWO! Cassidy hangs tough, but Garcia keeps on him. Garcia KNEES Cassidy in the back, and then KNEES him in the back again! And again! Garcia then has Cassidy’s legs, ties them up, and pulls him into a BOW ‘N’ ARROW!
Cassidy endures the stretch, reaches for his pockets, but pops out of the hold! Cover, TWO! Garcia runs in to CLOBBER Cassidy again! Garcia wags his finger at the fans, then he stalks Cassidy to ropes. Garcia brings Cassidy up, claws at his face while talking trash, but the ref counts. Garcia lets off at 4, and he does his dance.

Winner: Orange Cassidy, by pinfall (still AEW International Champion)
Freshly Squeezed snatches victory from the jaws of defeat! But how much longer can Cassidy keep this up? As for Garcia, will he see that his sports… enner-tay-ning is just holding him back?
The Outcasts, as well as Britt Baker & Jamie Hayter, speak.
Saraya says she finds something very convenient: “That Shida’s not here this week, she went back to Japan. Isn’t that great?” Ruby Soho & Toni Storm sarcastically say that’s surprising. The Doctor says that Shida might not be here in person, but she is here in spirit. Britt shows off her new shirt, where Shida spray painted Saraya in the face. Storm says it’s fine, because they are going to have a Trios match, and at the end of it, The Outcasts will have their hands raised, not Britt’s or Jamie’s. How is that bad arm feeling, by the way? Britt says not to worry, Shida will be back next week for that Trios match.
And Hayter says it doesn’t matter what percentage of health her arm is at, she is still in shape to kick all three of their arses! Ruby says next week, the Outcasts will show them “offensive.” Will the Full Metal Warrior be just what Team Homegrown needs to humble the Outcasts?
Christian Cage & Luchasaurus are here!
Fans boo as Captain Charisma and his Right Hand of Destruction head to the ring. Tony Schiavone is already there, and he has a mic to as Christian that while Wardlow & Arn Anderson are not here in Detroit tonight, Christian has put himself forward as the #1 contender to the TNT Championship. Why? How is it Christian can do that? Christian says, “First thing’s first, Detroit, you’re literally-” The fans boo over him. Christian says this is literally the worst city in the USA, so please keep quiet while he talks. Fans just boo more. Christian says they all wanna know why he is the #1 contender, but it’s simple: It’s because he IS Christian Cage!
“When you’ve compiled a laundry list of accomplishments like I have, you’re afforded certain luxuries that other people are not. Like walking into the boss’s office and saying, ‘I want a shot.’ And when your name has the cache that mine does, you get the shot.” Fans boo more, and even tell him to STFU, but Christian says he has a question for the rest of us. “What’s with all these wrestlers in AEW and their daddy issues?” Schiavone isn’t sure what he’s getting at. Christian says that just like his previous opponent, Jack Perry, his next opponent, Wardlow, also had a father.
But to put Wardlow’s mind at ease, Christian won’t insult his late father, he won’t go down that road. Because let’s face it, Wardlow’s dad wasn’t famous, no one gave a damn about him, so Christian won’t even waste his breath. But that’s a good thing, because Wardlow found Arn Anderson. Wardlow found a father figure. And lucky for Wardlow, Arn was looking for a new son himself! Fans call Christian an A-hole, but Christian says that fans may or may not know, but Brock Anderson is a wrestler in AEW.
And Christian’s “going to go out on a limb and say Arn Anderson’s nothing more than a bold faced liar. Because he said the last thing he wanted to do in this business was to send his son, Brock, down the right path. He wanted to set him up for success. That is, until he looked over his shoulder and saw Wardlow with his brand new TNT Championship, and he just threw Brock to the side, hopped over to Wardlow, and take all that credit, right? But good on ya, Wardlow, because now you have that legend steering that ship. ‘Legend’ is other people’s word, not mine. I mean, if you’re the other guy in a tag team with Tully Blanchard, I guess that makes you a legend, right?
“Or, if you were Ric Flair’s lapdog for years and years and years, I guess that makes you a legend, right?” Christian now directs a question at Arn. How many times has Arn won a world heavyweight championship? Oh, none? Christian is a MULTI-TIME world heavyweight champion! Wardlow, unlike Arn, Christian understands what it takes! He knows the struggle, what it is to scratch and claw to reach the top! So what is Wardlow gonna do when he realizes his legend isn’t as smart as Christian? When he isn’t as cunning as Christian? When he isn’t and never was as good as Christian?
Christian says this is what Wardlow’s gonna do. Next week on Dynamite, Wardlow will stand in this ring, Christian will walk down, stare Wardlow in his beady eyes and spit in his face, and then Wardlow will realize his days as champion are all but over. And Detroit, you can kiss his ass! Fans boo even more as Christian throws down the mic. Christian said quite a lot while Wardlow was away, will he be eating his words along with a Powerbomb Symphony?
Darby Allin speaks.
“I ask myself, ‘What is it really what I’m on this Earth to do?’ It’s not to clean toilets at the 99 cent store. Not to wash dishes. It’s to be a pro-wrestler.” Darby shows us the building he jumped his car off of, and now there’s a skatepark nearby. Darby’s dad is here, and his dog. They’re gonna train today. So how is skateboarding and doing dirt track jumps “training?” Don’t you see how Darby wrestles? “It’s crazy, so I gotta go crazy outside of the ring.” The reason Darby does that stuff is because it breaks mental barriers down and makes him understand that he’s capable of so much more than what people told him he is capable of.
“To represent this company as its world champion, I honestly just wanna give back, because it gave so much to me. My friends, my family, my sanity.” Sting says Darby is a man who has blazed his own way in this business. Much like a young Sting, who had no uncle or father or brother or open door to get into pro-wrestling, still got into pro-wrestling. Darby knows where he’s going and how he’s gonna get there. And where he’s going is to Double or Nothing to become AEW World Champion.
No Holds Barred: Anna Jay VS Julia Hart!
The Queenslayer and the Lady of the House used to be best friends, having come up through the ranks together in the early days of AEW. But while Anna become a sports…Â enner-tay-ner, Julia became a “spooky b*tch.” But will Anna choke her former friend out? Or will the song be proven right, and that the House always wins?
But as Julia makes her entrance, Anna runs in from behind and CLOBBERS her with a chair! The bell rings because this starts now! Anna stalks Julia to the ring, then fetches something from under the ring. It’s a trash can! Anna tosses that into the ring, but Julia attacks her back! Julia TOSSES Anna out, goes back out after her, and RAMS her into railing! Julia grins and she brings Anna up to RAM her into more railing! Fans fire up as Julia gets in Anna’s face. Julia then RAMS Anna back into the railing! Julia leaves Anna behind to go looking, and she brings out a kendo stick! Fans fire up as Julia aims, and SMACKS Anna!
Julia SMACKS Anna again, Anna goes into the ring but Julia pursues. Anna grabs the stick! And she SMACKS Julia in return! Anna drags Julia up and tosses her out now, and fans chant, “We Want Tables!” Anna brings Julia up, and snap suplexes her to the floor! Julia writhes but Anna leaves her be to get the kendo stick. Anna returns but Julia throws body shots! Julia POSTS Anna, then brings her around to POST her again! Julia wants the timekeeper to move, and she SMACKS Anna off the table! Julia SMACKS Anna off the table again, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Julia fetches the kendo stick, and brings it over to CHOKE Anna! Anna fights back and pushes the stick away, then gets to her feet. Julia throws the stick away to DDT to the floor! Julia drags Anna up and into the ring, covers, TWO! Anna hangs tough, having been through much worse. But Julius RAMS her into a corner. Julia CHOPS, but Anna turns things around to CHOP back! But Julia turns it around to CHOP again! Julia shakes out her hand, she hit Anna that hard. But she CHOPS again! And again! Anna pokes Julia in the eye! Anna brings Julia back up but Julia pokes her in the eye now!
Both women stagger, blinking to get vision back. They shout at each other, and Anna SLAPS! Julia SLAPS! It’s a SLAP fight! Then Anna throws a forearm, so Julia throws it back! They go back and forth, Anna knees low, and Anna wrenches to a HOOK KICK! Julia falls and Anna goes out to fetch a chair into the ring. Anna brings that chair over to wedge in a corner, then goes to Julia. Anna CHOKES Julia, whips her corner to corner, but Julia reverses! Dynamite returns to single picture as Anna CRASHES into the chair! Fans fire up as both women go out of the ring. Julia looks under, and she brings out more chairs!
Julia drags Anna up and CLUBS her towards the pile of chairs. But Anna wrenches out, spins Julia around, Gory Especial and GORY BOMBÂ onto the chairs!! A shoutout to Tay Melo while inflicting maximum damage! Anna puts Julia in the ring to cover, TWO!! Julia survives and Anna is fuming. Anna gets the trash can, she grins and aims at Julia, and just RAMS her with it! And then she puts the can around Julia in the corner! Anna runs corner to corner to LEG LARIAT the can! Cover, TWO!! Julia is hanging tough, fans still want tables, but Anna grabs one of those chairs. And then another chair, and then another chair.
Anna has moved the chair pile from outside to inside the ring, and adds that chair she ran into from earlier. Anna makes sure it is a nice spread, then she brings Julia up. Anna suplexes, but Julia blocks! Julia wrenches and ROCKS Anna and has her in a corner. Julia ELBOWS Anna, hoists her up top, and ROCKS her again. And again! Julia climbs up but Anna fires forearms in return! They brawl, Julia brings Anna up, SUPERPLEX onto the chairs! Julia then clamps onto Anna for the HARTLESS! Anna taps, Julia wins!!
Winner: Julia Hart, by submission
The Star of the Show got overshadowed here tonight, and Julia has done her part for The House of Black. Will the House continue to win with the trios titles up next?
AEW World Trios Championship Open House Rules: The House of Black VS Best Friends & Bandido!
Malakai Black, Brody King & Buddy Murphy want competition, but they also do things their own way. Any three competitors can form a trio to take them on, but they are warned that there are NO ropebreaks, that it is a 20 count for being outside the ring, disqualifications are enforced, and there is a “dealer’s choice” given to the challengers. That is to say, the challengers can add their own rule! Will Trent Beretta, Chuck Taylor & The Most Wanted beat the champs at their own game? Or will we see again, that the House always wins?
Backstage, Renee is with Best Friends, Bandido & Orange Cassidy. She commends Cassidy on retaining his title tonight. As for Trent, Chuck & Bandido, they could come away with the AEW World Trios titles tonight, how are they feeling? Cassidy is pretty sure there’s room enough in his backpack for all that. Trent says, “Detroit, I’m feeling it! Tonight’s the night! Tonight’s the night Best Amigos win one.” But with these Open House Rules, have they decided on what their stipulation will be? Cassidy says, “Ohhhh it’s a good one. Tell ’em, Chuckie.” The Kentucky Gentleman says he wasn’t notified of this.
Renee says they have to hurry and choose one! The match is coming up next! Since when!? Spooky Julia was out there, scary as hell, they don’t want her running around. Trent says, “All witches are barred from ringside!” Uh, okay, sure. It will be JUST Malakai, Brody & Buddy VS Trent, Chuck & Bandido, so any final words from Cassidy? “No. Uh, I’m so tired, Renee.” Yeah, that’s understandable. Will we soon have Golden Friends? We find out, after the break.
Dynamite returns as The House of Black make their entrance. The introductions are made, the titles are raised, and we see if the House can play by their own rules.
The teams sort out, and Malakai starts against Bandido. There’s also House lighting as we have a spotlight on just the ring. Malakai and Bandido circle as fans rally up. They tie up, Malakai gets an arm but Bandido slips around and arm-drags! Malakai comes back but into a RANA! Malakai comes back again, blocks a punch and snapmares but Bandido handsprings through! Bandido kicks low, runs, but into a kitchen sink knee! Malakai puts Bandido in a corner, fires off fast hands and knees, then whips corner to corner. Bandido goes up and over and waistlocks but Malakai switches. Bandido elbows free but Malakai hooks a leg, breaks Bandido’s stance, and KNEES him down!
Malakai gets a leg for a KNEEBAR! Bandido endures, reaches out, but Malakai twists the ankle! Cassidy is watching backstage, but he’s really sore and tired. Bandido crawls his way over, grabs the ropes, but again, no ropebreaks! Bandido has to keep dragging himself over, and Malakai lets him go as he goes to the apron. Malakai stares Trent down, but then Bandido returns to BOOT! Bandido CLUBS Malakai, tags Chuck, they mug Malakai and Trent tags in. Best Amigos double whip, Bandido drops so Malakai runs into double elbows! Trent & Chuck feed Malakai to Bandido’s wheelbarrow, TRIPLE FACEBUSTER!
Trent & Chuck double elbow drop! Fans fire up as they all shake hands. Trent drags Malakai up, suplexes, but Malakai slips free to waistlock. Trent switches, but Brody tags in before the O’Conner Roll. Brody storms in, Trent fires forearms! But Malakai trips Trent into the KNEEBAR, and Brody SENTONS! Brody then BLASTS Chuck and ELBOWS Bandido! Buddy goes around the way to CLOBBER them both while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Brody goes out, finds Trent in the dark while Buddy RAMS Bandido into steel steps! Brody BOOTS Chuck, then the House hoots and barks. Brody runs to SPLASH Trent against railing! Brody storms up the steps, fans fire up for the House, and then Brody fetches Bandido. Brody RAMS Bandido into railing! Buddy storms over to bring Bandido up and whip him into railing while Brody sends Chuck into some railing! Brody returns to the ring, Trent slides in, but Brody is on him with forearms! Tag to Malakai, he and Brody mug Trent in the open corner. Malakai UPPERCUTS Trent, then stands him up to KICK against the ropes.
Malakai whips Trent to ropes, CLOBBERS him, then brings him over. Malakai wrenches, tags in Brody, and they mug Trent again. Brody CHOPS Trent to an open corner, then digs his boot in! Trent endures, the ref counts, and Brody lets off at 4. Brody puts Trent up top, CHOPS him again, then climbs up after him. Trent fights back with body shots, and headbutts! Brody falls back and Trent adjusts, to MISSILE DROPKICK! Dynamite returns to single picture as both men are down! Fans rally, both men crawl, hot tag to Buddy! Buddy CLOBBERS Trent from behind! Buddy drags Trent up and shoves him away, but Trent ELBOWS Brody down!
Trent DECKS Malakai while Buddy BOOTS Chuck and DECKS Bandido! Buddy turns around, Trent runs up to TORNADO DDT! Both men are down again but Trent has no one! Buddy staggers up and runs in, but only gets buckles! SUPERKICK! Trent covers, TWO!! Cassidy is still watching, he seems worried about his friends. Malakai gets in with a chair, but Trent takes it! Trent is tempted, but he throws it away. But Buddy rolls Trent up! TWO, and Trent avoids a stomp! Trent BOOTS Buddy down! Fans fire up and Bandido is back! Trent hurries, hot tag to Bandido! And he TORNILLOS in on Buddy!
Bandido DROPKICKS Malakai, dodges Brody and CRUCIFIX DRIVERS! Fans fire up with Bandido and he builds speed to FLY! Direct hit on Malakai & Brody! Fans fire up more as Bandido aims again. Buddy runs in, only gets buckles, and then a GAMANGIRI! Bandido springboards, into a V-TRIGGER! Both men crawl, hot tag to Chuck! “This is Awesome!” as Buddy gets a SEXY CHUCKIE KNEE! Buddy staggers, into a ripcord and SOLE FOOD! But Brody tags in, runs in, Chuck dodges but the V-TRIGGER gets him! Buddy brings Chuck up, DANTE’S INFERNO!! Cover, the House wins!
Winners: The House of Black, by pinfall (still AEW World Trios Champions)
No spooky witches needed! The House rules worked out in their favor, will they be unstoppable with this homefield advantage?
Wait! Someone just attacked Orange Cassidy backstage!
Cassidy is down, and looming over him, holding two belts, is KYLE FLETCHER! The Aussie Arrow picks up Cassidy’s International Championship, and he says, “Aussie Aussie Aussie.” Will the United Empire look to create a new THREE BELT Champion?
“Jungle Boy” Jack Perry speaks.
“I first started training to be a professional wrestler when I was nine or ten years old. And my parents found a place for me to go train, in a guy’s backyard with a ring in his backyard, similar to the set-up I got going now. And professional wrestling was really the first thing I knew that I wanted to do with my life when I grew up. It feels very rewarding now, to be literally living out the dream that I had as a little kid.” Christian Cage admits, that of all the Pillars, he aligned himself with JB because he felt JB had the most talent of all, and he stands by that. JB hopes his time is now to be world champion, because he thinks he has put in the work to make it happen.
Christian does add that if JB can get his stuff together, “if he can pull his head out of his own ass, he can and will win that world championship.” JB says that Christian taught him a lot, but also, he came along and tore it all down. Christian showed JB that this world of pro-wrestling is colder than he imagined. JB says, “You look at MJF, this guy wrestles four times a year. And it’s pretty much been that way since the very beginning. I never wanted to grow up to go out there for 30 minutes and sing showtunes on TV. I want to be the best professional wrestler in the world. I want to show that if you put in the work, you can make it happen. You don’t need to take shortcuts like this guy did.”
JB says that there are varying degrees on how he dislikes the other three. They’re all very different, and “when you have four young, hungry guys, who all want to prove they’re the best, it’s going to be something spectacular.” The AEW World Championship Fatal 4 Way is coming, who defies the odds to win the jackpot at Double or Nothing?
BREAKING NEWS for Rampage!
It’s another S-A, T-U-R, D-A-Y, night Rampage at 10 PM Eastern, 7 Pacific! And on this special Saturday Rampage, The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn take on The Superbad Squad in a Trios match!

AEW hears from Ricky Starks and Jay White.
The Absolute says, “Last week, I finally did what I said I was gonna do. And I was gonna put you in the ground, Juice, and that is exactly what I did. But of course, after the match, what happened?” He is talking about Jay White’s ambush attack. Starks says, “I’m so sick of The Bullet Club. And I want you to understand something, Jay. You were this close to getting hit with the Roshambeaux.” But The Switchblade wants Starks to understand that he doesn’t deal in almost. And now, Starks wants his moment with King Switch, “in the perfect place, at the perfect time.”
Starks says this is as perfect as he wants it, because it will be them 1v1. And Starks will show White what a real legend-in-the-making looks like. Will this be an absolute classic next week on Dynamite?
Steel Cage Match: Kenny Omega VS Jon Moxley!
This is a grudge dating back to the original Double or Nothing, and has only escalated since. Lights Out, Exploding Barbed Wire, but it still wasn’t enough! How much higher will they raise the bar on violence and hate here tonight?
Dynamite returns and Omega makes his entrance. But Moxley doesn’t wait for him to get in the cage, Moxley rushes him at the ramp! They brawl, fans fire up, and Omega backs Moxley down! But Moxley RAMS Omega into the railing! They continue to scrap, Bryan Danielson has joined commentary and he says Moxley just loves to fight. But Omega ROCKS Moxley, sends him back towards the cage and CLUBS him on the back. Omega RAMS Moxley into railing, but then Claudio & Yuta run out to attack Omega! Fans boo as the BCC mugs Omega in what is supposed to be a 1v1 match! But wait, here come The Bucks!
Claudio hurries to intercept! Claudio blocks Nick’s superkick but not Matt’s! Then the Bucks DOUBLE SUPERKICK Yuta! Fans fire up and the Bucks drag Yuta up the ramp. They toss him OFF the stage! Yuta tumbles, but then the Bucks spot Bryan on commentary. The American Dragon steps up to them, but Claudio runs up to UPPERCUT Nick! And UPPERCUT Matt! Claudio TOSSES Matt off the stage to join Yuta! Yuta goes after Matt, Claudio follows and they mug Matt. Nick tells Bryan to back off, Bryan says to worry about the others, but then Nick runs to FLY off the stage! Direct hit on Yuta & Claudio!
Fans are thunderous as the Bucks continue beating down the BCC. Security rushes over to get these four to stop. Claudio & Yuta hurry away, Omega gets in the cage and he tells Moxley to get his ass in there with him! Moxley obliges and storms in. The cage closes and the match finally begins! Fans are thunderous, and the forearms start flying! Moxley ROCKS Omega, Omega CHOPS Moxley, and then they both fire CHOPS! Both men are stinging, but Omega JABS! And JABS! JAB! JAB! JAB! Moxley rakes eyes! Moxley runs, but into a BOOT! Omega fireman’s carry, “YOU! CAN’T! ESCAPE!” ROLLING SENTON and MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO!
Fans rally and Omega goes to a corner. Omega looks around under the ring, and he brings out a BARBED WIRE WRAPPED CHAIR! Flashbacks to that very Lights Out match years ago! Omega swings but Moxley kicks low! Moxley runs, but into the BARBED WIRE CHAIRSHOT!! Fans lose their minds and Omega checks his own hands after that. Omega shakes it off and gets the chair again, for a BARBED WIRE SMACK to the back! Moxley writhes, but then Omega stomps the chair into his back! Omega stands on the chair while clapping it up! Moxley can only endure as Omega digs his foot in!
Omega then runs to DOUBLE STOMP the chair onto Moxley’s back!! Fans lose their minds all over again as Moxley starts bleeding from various spots on his back! It’s like a bloody connect-the-dots! Omega drags Moxley up, bumps him off buckles, and then again! Moxley’s already busted open from the headshot, but now the forehead is bleeding more and more! But Moxley grabs Omega to SMACK him into the camera! Moxley then kisses the camera and fans fire up again. Moxley stalks Omega and brings him up, but Omega ROUNDHOUSES! Omega then springboards, but Moxley shoves him into the steel!
Moxley has the chair! And he SMACKS Omega on the back! Omega writhes but Moxley sits him up, and Bryan grins as Moxley whips Omega to ropes. Omega dropkicks the legs out! Omega then runs, to KOTARO KRUSHER Moxley onto the barbed wire chair! Fans fire up again as Omega has the chair and positions it. Omega drags Moxley up, scoops him, and SLAMS him onto the chair! Moxley writhes as his back is scraped up even more! Omega climbs the corner, but Moxley hits him first! Moxley climbs up, brings Omega up, and SUPERPLEXES him onto the chair!! Now Omega writhes as his back is scraped up!
Fans lose their minds and Dynamite goes picture in picture as the ref checks both men. Moxley’s crimson mask has grown, but he stands up to stalk Omega. Moxley drags Omega to center, for DRAGON STOMPS! Surely Bryan likes what he sees with that, and then Moxley goes to a corner. Moxley uses a prybar to undo the top crossbar! Omega writhes, blood pouring from his back, while Moxley continues his work in the corner. The top rope is now loose as Moxley gets closer and closer to freeing the buckle. Omega hurries to CLUB Moxley on the back! And again, and again! Moxley mule kicks Omega low, then JAMS him with the prybar!
Moxley finally gets the bar free from the corner! Moxley soaks up the cheers and jeers as he then unhooks another corner. Moxley wants to start on the third but Omega grabs for the crossbar. Moxley stomps Omega’s hand down onto it! Omega writhes, claws at Moxley, but Moxley brings the bar up! Omega fights but Moxley still HOOKS Omega in the mouth!! Dynamite returns to single picture as Omega can only endure Moxley’s steel cage dental plan! Fans chant “YOU SUCK F***!” at Moxley but Bryan is just as sick as he grins. Moxley then CLUBS Omega with the bar! And CLUBS him again! And then wraps the rope around to CHOKE Omega!!
Omega endures, refusing to give up here! Omega digs his finger into Moxley’s eyes!! Moxley lets Omega go and Omega gets the rope off him, only for Moxley to drop toehold! Moxley wraps the rope back on to CHOKE Omega again! And then he shifts to a BULLY CHOKE!! The rope adds to the strangle, but Omega still endures! So Moxley sits up and pulls back on the ropes, only for Omega to hit him with the bar! Moxley REGAL KNEES Omega down! Moxley goes looking under the ring again, and he brings out a mystery bag! These are never good, and this one has BROKEN GLASS IN IT! Another flashback to Full Gear!
But Omega CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! But Moxley kicks low! Omega flails, wrenches, kicks low, fisherman and AOI SHODOU! Then Omega runs to V-TRIGGER! Omega Electric Chair Lifts, aims for the glass, but Moxley slips down into a SLEEPER! Fans rally as Omega sputters. Omega stays on his feet, gets a second wind, and he BACKPACK SENTONS Moxley onto the glass!!! Fans are thunderous and even Don Callis is loving this! Moxley writhes, but then sits up into a REAR NAKED CHOKE!! Bryan says Moxley will take your back in any circumstance! But Omega pushes back to cover on the glass! TWO!!
Omega is free, but Moxley hurries to reel him in! GOTCH- NO, Omega back drops free, but Moxley sunset flips! Omega rolls through to V-TRIGGER!! Fans are electric while both men are down! Moxley pushes himself up, fans hope they “FIGHT FOREVER!” but this has to end somehow. Both men stand, and Omega SLAPS! Moxley SLAPS! It is a SLAP fight! They go shot for shot, faster and faster, Omega gets the edge! Omega then shoots in, full nelsons, but Moxley elbows free! V-TRIGGER on the return! Moxley still comes back, but into a BOOT! And then another V-TRIGGER! Moxley staggers, into the SNAP DRAGONÂ on the glass!!
Both men writhe, and Moxley makes his way to the apron. Omega goes to the opposite end, he roars and runs, to V-TRIGGER!! MOXLEY AND OMEGA GO THROUGH THE CAGE!! Fans lose their minds all over again as Moxley hits the floor and Omega ends up stuck in the ropes! The refs check both men and somehow, they’re both still in this! Omega gets his trapped leg out but is it in any working condition? Even Bryan seems worried for Moxley’s sake. Moxley stands up and roars! He drags Omega up, and TOSSES him back in through the hole they made! Moxley even shoves a ring crew member down to take his screwdriver!!
Moxley storms into the ring, aims at Omega, but Don Callis gets in!? Callis stops Moxley from using the screwdriver, and then Omega V-TRIGGERS Moxley into the post!! Ripcord, V-TRIGGER!! And then Electric Chair Lift, fold, ONE WINGED ANGEL!!! Cover, CALLIS JAMS OMEGA?!?!?!? Bryan is laughing and the fans are shocked as all hell!! Callis grins, and he watches as Moxley covers Omega! MOXLEY WINS!!
Winner: Jon Moxley, by pinfall
How could Don Callis do this to the man he said was like family to him!? Or, maybe we should’ve known Callis was so low as to do such a thing to even his own family! Bryan didn’t know this was coming, but he is very happy it happened. Omega sits up, forehead busted open by that screwdriver. Callis looms over Omega as he sits up, and then he holds the screwdriver up again! Callis drops the screwdriver, and he gives Omega a kiss on the forehead to say good-bye. Callis points to the scar on his forehead, does that incident with Moxley have something to do with this? How will Omega and The Elite recover from this betrayal?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite here, really stacked from top to bottom. The Double Jeopardy match was an awesome opener, though I still stand by my criticism that this should’ve been on ROH TV. But it still makes sense that Claudio won, he and I assume Yuta are gonna take on the Lucha Brothers for a great match, but I think the Lucha Brothers win by pinning Yuta, not Claudio. And I love the returns we got tonight. Miro is back, Thunder Rosa is back, they’re both surely going after a title after Double or Nothing. In Rosa’s case, I would love if she went after Jade and the TBS Championship. If Rosa wins, she becomes the first to have held both the Women’s World and TBS titles in her career.
As for Miro, as much as I would love if he went after the world title, I fear he’d just be fed to MJF’s reign of terror. That means Miro will be going after a midcard title. The Four Young Pillars all had great promos, but I can’t say the math has changed. There’s still a very good chance MJF retains to then have individual feuds with Sammy and Jungle Boy to make it through the summer. And if MJF were to lose at Double or Nothing, it feels like JB is going to win since he had a pretty strong focus in this build. Meanwhile, we got a great International Championship match out of Cassidy and Garcia, and it works so well in both men’s stories that Cassidy wins with a quick pin.
And of course, we got a lot of great story blending between Best Friends and House of Black. Great No Holds Barred match between Anna and Julia, and it works that Julia wins to help lead into the Trios match. The Open House Rules didn’t come into play as hard as they could have, outside of Bandido not getting a ropebreak and the House throwing everyone around ringside a lot more. But I do appreciate the special lighting, and I’m surprised that the belts were changed from gold to platinum/silver without much fanfare. Kyle Fletcher attacking Cassidy and declaring for the International title is also a surprise, I would’ve thought a singles guy like Jeff Cobb or Aaron Henare would be the one.
Great promo from FTR, Triple J and Mark Briscoe. Mark bring special enforcer for the tag title match is great, and of course Triple J take literal cheap shots at FTR. Dax accidentally giving Mark a piledriver was a great detail, but I would think Mark sees through the shenanigans and helps FTR hold onto the belts. Great promo from Jericho and Strong, a Falls Count Anywhere with kayfabe restraining orders is great stuff, but I feel like something has to allow interference somehow. Is the loophole that the ban is about the building, and if they go outside to the parking lot, it’s fair game? That would be brilliant, actually.
Really good promo from The Outcasts and Homegrown to finally give us a team match, but what a letdown that it’s just a Trios, and not even No Disqualifications, because you know there’s gonna be shenanigans from The Outcasts. I can only hope this is to escalate things to Double or Nothing and an even bigger match. And pretty good promo from Christian but it felt a bit long. But I guess that’s just because he took the scenic route to insult Wardlow, Wardlow’s deceased father, Arn Anderson, Brock Anderson, and Detroit. And good promo from Ricky Starks and Jay White to hype up their match, which could go either way given the backwards building AEW has done with Starks’ stories.
Another Saturday Rampage is disappointing, this is why I don’t like regular sports. But that is still a good show they’re putting together. And Tony Khan having a huge announcement next week is of course going to be AEW Collision. And if part of the announcement is on TNT, I guess that’s where Collision is going to be. So it’s still going to be vulnerable to preempting should sports ever need a Saturday for playoffs. And great stuff out of Blackpool Combat Club and The Elite as part of the main event. That busting-through-the-cage spot was wild, and definitely scary for Omega’s leg. Many felt Callis’s betrayal coming for weeks, but still wild that it happened like this. Can’t wait to hear his explanation next week, and how we get to Blood & Guts for Double or Nothing.
My Score: 8.9/10

Garcia stands Perry up abut Menard has an idea. Menard takes the camera, but Collision goes to break. What hell will Garcia put Perry through a week before Full Gear?
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.”
Garcia has Perry tied to the hood of the bus!
Garcia shouts at Perry that he was waiting for a reason! Garcia and Menard get in the bus, and they take Perry for a ride! They go through guard rails, up a ramp, and perhaps even into town! Will the Scapegoat end up a bug on a windshield?

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?

Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series: Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Jake “The Snake” Roberts VS The Acclaimed w/ Billy Gunn!
Platinum Max of course has a diss track. “These dudes gotta be embarrassed. You ’bout to lose bigger than Kamala Harris! LFI in a title match is outta place. 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.
My Score: 8.8/10

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. Daivari powers up and out, but Briscoe runs him over! The fans fire up and things keep moving. Daivari drops down, Briscoe slides under, and then Briscoe REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUTS! 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

Rocky brings Komander into a waistlock, but shoves him to ropes to ROCK him in the back! Komander drops to his knees, but Rocky stands him up. Rocky shoves and ROCKS Komander again! Cover, TWO! 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! Tag to Rush, and El Toro Blanco looms over Price. Rush stands Price up to CHOP him down! Rush eggs Holliday on, then SPITS at him! The fans boo but Price tags Holliday. 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!

Ricochet VS Dante Martin!
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 then scoops and SLAMS Dante, and Rampage returns to single picture as he climbs a corner. The fans fire up as Ricochet reaches the top, but Dante stands! 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.

Ricochet survives and the fans rally up again. Dante waits on Ricochet to rise up, then he half nelsons. Lift and- NO, Ricochet slips free to dragon sleeper! VERTI- NO, Dante slips free! Ricochet arm-drags Dante away, then catches him, Wrench and NORTHERN LIGHTS! Roll through, deadlift, BRAINBUSTER! Ricochet roars while fans are torn, RUNNING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, TWO!! Dante survives and Ricochet is surprised!
MVP is himself a bit frustrated, but Ricochet fireman’s carries. Dante fires elbows, slips free, and goes to run, but Ricochet SUPERKICKS! Ricochet runs up, into an ELBOW! Dante uses the same up and over, only to get caught! BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cover, TWO!! Dante survives and Ricochet snarls. The fans fire up and Ricochet brings Dante up. Ricochet has the dragon sleeper, but Dante fires knees! Dante drops, victory rolls, TWO!! Ricochet catches Dante for a deadlift SAIDO!! The fans fire up as Ricochet takes aim! BANG and SPIRIT GUN!! Cover, Ricochet wins!
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
