Arn says you don’t need to protect him, he’s been doing this a long time. Now, Wardlow has seen what Christian will do. The question is, what is Wardlow prepared to do in response? Wardlow says he’s prepared to beat Christian at his own game.
If Christian wants to pull out ladders, let’s pull out ladders! If Christian wants a title match, it’ll be Wardlow VS Christian, Double or Nothing, TNT Championship LADDER MATCH! That is what Wardlow is prepared to do. Will Captain Charisma pay for trying to relive his glory days?
Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.
Renee is now with the AEW International Champion and says last week, he got jumped by Kyle Fletcher, who clearly wants his shot at the title. Cassidy says there are a lot of people who want a shot. So Kyle, if you want this at Double or Nothing, go find Tony Khan and let him know. Cassidy will fight them all. Is the Freshly Squeezed opening up the door for more than just one challenger? Will he make it through being such a fighting champion?
Sammy Guevara VS Exodus Prime!

Winner: Sammy Guevara, by pinfall
Victory: check! Momentum: check! Sammy gets the mic now to speak. “Y’know, Austin, every time I’m here, I remember the old days. I remember wrestling on the independents up and down Texas. And I remember the struggles. I remember the good times, the bad times, the drama. But all of that brought me here and made me who I am today. And I know, trust me, I know I’m not perfect. I made a lot of mistakes. Hell, you guys have watched me grow up in front of you and seen my mistakes firsthand. But sometimes, it takes a few wrong turns to get to the right place! And the right place is Las Vegas, May 28th!”
Fans cheer, and Sammy says he’ll finally shut up the naysayers who said he couldn’t do something because of this or because of that. He’s heard that his whole life, and he never listened to it. He listened to what’s in his heart. The stuff you can’t teach or learn. His heart says that he will be the NEW AEW World Champion!! Sammy drops the mic and the fans fire up! Will the Spanish God ascend to the throne?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.

And then they go after Lethal & Jarrett! Sonjay has no idea what to do, even though he has guitars. Lethal turns things around and he LASHES Dax with his leather belt! Only for Dax to back drop him!

Jarrett slowly rises, but KAREN JARRETT slides in!? Mrs. Double J LOW BLOWS Cash! Dax turns around to see what happened, and then Jarrett hits THE STROKE! Satnam returns and he’s furious! Karen tells Austin to kiss this, and Triple J feeds FTR to Satnam! DOUBLE CHOKE SLAMS!! Sonjay returns and he has the guitars. He hands one to Jarrett and the other to Lethal. Sonjay high-fives Karen, Triple J aims, DOUBLE SMASH HITS!! Though ironically, the wrong guitar hits each of them. Karen grabs the AEW World Tag Team Championships and hand them to her husband and his buddy. Will these five all be celebrating in Las Vegas for Memorial Day Weekend?
Backstage interview with Darby Allin.
Renee congratulates him on the win alongside Orange Cassidy and how he is gaining more momentum towards Double or Nothing. She couldn’t help but notice how he finished it with the headlock takeover. Was that a message to MJF? Absolutely! We’re ten days away from Double or Nothing, and the biggest match of both Darby’s career, Jungle Boy’s career, and even Sammy Guevara’s career. It is no secret how much this match means to Darby. Sammy walks in, and he says that while he and Darby have a “very unique history,” Sammy does respect Darby. Darby may not trust Sammy, but something Darby said a couple weeks ago really stuck with Sammy.
Darby said if Sammy was ever gonna be world champion, he needs to stop being a follower. Well at Double or Nothing, Sammy is not gonna be laying down for Max or make it easy for anyone. Whoever it is, one of them needs to take the title off that prick. Then may the best man win. They fist bump, will the Devil of AEW find himself the loser no matter what?
Toni Storm & Ruby Soho w/ Saraya VS Britt Baker & Hikaru Shida!
Jamie Hayter wasn’t medically cleared to compete tonight, so what was meant to be a trios match has been downgraded to 2v2. But that doesn’t mean this won’t be any less aggressive and spiteful!

JB ELBOWS Rush, ROCKS him, CHOPS him, and repeat! JB whips, Rush reverses, but JB COMEBACKERS! But Rush stays up!? Rush kicks JB around, then KICKS JB in the chest! Rush HEADBUTTS JB again, but JB CHOPS! Rush just scowls.
Rush taps JB low and dares him to bring the heat. JB CHOPS, CHOPS, and CHOPS! JB fires off CHOPS, Rush roars, but JB SOBATS! JB runs, but into a JUMP KNEE! But JB DROPKICKS in return! Fans fire up with JB and he goes corner to corner, but into a SUPERKICK! Rush goes up the corner but JB ROCKS him first! JB climbs, throws forearms on Rush, but Rush throws them back! JB adjusts, Rush CHOPS him, and he eggs JB on. JB CHOPS, Rush CHOPS, and again Rush demands more of JB! So JB HEADBUTTS! And HEADBUTTS! And then SUPER STEINERS! Fans fire up as Rush flounders!
JB aims from a corner, but Jose grabs at him! Fans boo, the ref reprimands but Jose plays innocent. Rush runs in, but JB ducks the lariat to trip Rush! JB drags Rush back, SNARE TRAP!! Rush reaches, crawls around, drags JB along, and gets the ROPEBREAK! Jose cheers and JB lets go. Both men go to the apron, and Rush wipes some of JB’s blood onto himself! JB CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! Rush CHOPS, JB CHOPS, JB then ducks and he fires palm strike after palm strike! Rush BOOTS! JB staggers, but he comes back, only for Rush to OVERHEAD suplex to the floor!
The fans lose their minds and Rush is scowling. The ref checks JB but he’s somehow still in this. Rush puts JB in the ring, stands on him for the cover, TWO!!! JB isn’t done yet, but Rush drags him up. Rush dares JB to hit him, so JB SLAPS him! Rush DECKS JB! Rush drags JB up, bumps him off buckles, and then stomps away on him! The ref counts, Rush keeps after him, but then the ref pulls Rush back. Rush shoves the ref! The ref and Rush argue, JB rolls Rush up, with the tights!! JB WINS!!
Winner: Jungle Boy, by pinfall
But Rush goes after JB, and then Preston Vance rushes in! The LFI mug JB and they even bring the green cable in! They’re CHOKING JB! But here comes DARBY! Darby slides in to TACKLE Vance! They brawl, Rush gets the cable and goes after Darby with it! LFI mugs Darby again, but here comes SAMMY!! The Spanish God dodges Rush to KNEE him down! And then he SUPERKICKS Vance! Jose gets the SCORPION DEATH DROP! Vance runs back in, but Darby & Sammy dodge to DOUBLE DROPKICK him out! Fans fire up as the Young Pillars all stand tall. There is respect here, just as Sammy said, but only one can be the world champion. Who will win it all at Double or Nothing?
Backstage interview with MJF.
Speaking of the AEW World Champion, he is having a headache, and Renee says we’re a little over a week away from Double or Nothing’s Fatal 4 Way. The champion does not need to be pinned or submitted in the match to lose the title, and as we’re getting closer, how is MJF feeling? MJF slaps the mic out of her hand!! MJF storms off, is this a sign that even The Devil of AEW is afraid?
Backstage interview with Toni Storm.
Renee is with The Lightning From Down Under, and says that Storm has four wins in the last five days, an AEW record! Incredible momentum, to say the least. Storm says that is right, and you know who she doesn’t see setting records like that? The champion, Jamie Hayter! In fact, Storm doesn’t even see Hayter in Austin tonight. “Well guess what, Jamie? I am not the same Toni Storm as before. Oh, no, I am an entirely different animal now. And if you have any guts left at all, you will come to Las Vegas, and you will put the title on the line against ME at Double or Nothing!” Storm throws out the challenge, will Hayter take her up on it?
Ricky Starks VS Jay White w/ Juice Robinson!
This is an absolute main event as THE Absolute takes on King Switch! It has been roughly a month since Jay White started this with Ricky Starks, will it all come to a head here in Austin, Texas?
The bell rings and Starks rushes White! White bails out and wants Starks to stay back. The ref has Starks step back, White gets in and headlocks. Starks powers out, White bails out again, and fans boo. Starks is annoyed with White as White copies Starks’ pose. Starks rushes out, White slides in, and White says okay, he’ll stop playing around.

Starks stalks White out of the ring, to the ramp, and White CHOPS again! White RAMS Starks into the apron, and again, and then around the way, to CHOP! White aims at the apron but Starks blocks to SMACK White off the apron! Starks throws hands, Juice shouts at him, and that distracts so White can kick low! APRON GOURD BUSTER! Fans duel, “Let’s Go, Switchblade!” “RICKY STARKS!” as White leaves Starks behind and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
White soaks up the cheers and jeers as the ring count climbs. The count reaches 5 of 10 but White wants it faster. Starks slides in at 6, White covers, TWO! White smirks, he stomps Starks down, then drags him back up. Starks kicks, White blocks, and White DRAGON SCREWS the leg! Starks writhes but White soaks up the cheers and jeers again. White stalks Starks to a corner, has the bad leg, but Starks CLUBS him! White RAMS into Starks, and again, and again! The ref counts, White lets off and paces. Starks CHOPS back! And ROCKS White! And ROCKS him again! Starks whips, but White reverses, and Starks bounces off buckles!
White scoops Starks for a SIDEWALK SLAM! Cover, TWO! White is annoyed but he keeps on Starks. White wraps Starks in a bearhug and squeezes tight. Starks fights up, but White CLUBS him on the back and wrangles him back down. White keeps on the bearhug, Starks is fading, and the ref checks. The hand drops once, twice, but Starks revives! Starks fights up, but White CLUBS him on the back! Starks crawls to a corner, White brings him around, and CHOPS him! Dynamite returns to single picture as Starks turns things around to CHOP!

Starks doesn’t care about the loss on the record, he got one on King Switch! Starks aims, but Juice drags White out of there! Juice shouts that he hates Starks, but what will it take for this all the end between Starks and Bullet Club Gold?
Tony Schiavone is back in the ring.
And he says it gives him no pleasure to introduce… Don Callis. Fans boo as Callis makes his way out, security lining the ramp. Footage of what Callis did last week even plays on the tron to remind us that Callis betrayed Kenny Omega. Fans call Callis a POS, and Schiavone points it out to Callis. Callis, why!? Why did you do that!? Callis says everyone wants to hear him talk about why he did what he did to Kenny Omega. But instead, Callis will tell us what Kenny did to Callis. “Make no mistake about it, there’s only one victim in this scenario, and it’s not Kenny!” Fans boo because they don’t believe it.
But Callis says after everything he did for Kenny, from the IWGP World Championship to the dream match of Jericho VS Omega at The Tokyo Dome! Callis’ first night here, “they” won the AEW World Championship! Fans keep booing as Callis says without him, there is NO Kenny Omega! But speaking of, here comes Kenny Omega!! Security moves up to block his path and Kenny says okay, okay. He DECKS guard after guard! But the BCC rushes out to get Kenny like they did the Bucks! They mug Kenny, and security, and Bryan Danielson shouts for them to finish Kenny! PARADIGM SHIFT on the ramp!
The BCC moves on from Kenny to get in the ring. Moxley has the mic to say, “The war is already over, Kenny. You and your little pissant friends can’t touch us! You never could! This is your final, final warning, Kenny: Stay down! We are what everybody else in this business pretends to be! We, this right here, WE are the elite!” But wait, here come the Bucks! They’re not as down and out as everyone thought! They’re hobbling, but they’ve also got a can full of goodies! But even with a trash can lid, a pipe and a 2-by-4 wood beam, this is still 4v3 in the favor of BCC. WAIT! HANGMAN PAGE IS HERE!!
Austin goes nuts to see that the Cowboy, even with an eyepatch over his one eye, stands with The Elite! And Kenny gives him the barbed wire wrapped broom! The band is back together, and they rush the ring! Yuta gets a TRASH CAN SHIELD SMASH from Kenny! Matt hits Claudio with the pipe! Nick hits Moxley with the 2-by-4! And Hangman chases Bryan off! The fans are going nuts for “COWBOY SH*T!” and Kenny gets his trash can lid. Matt CHOKES Yuta with the pipe, then throw shim in! SHIELD SMASH into the corner! The Bucks then drag Yuta up, for a B T E TRIGGER!!
And that’s not all! Hangman is on the apron, the Bucks set Yuta up, for the BUCKSHOT!! The BCC drag Yuta outta there, and Hangman gets the mic! Hangman says, “We are the heart, we are the soul, we are the spirit of this place! WE ARE… THE! ELITE!! So run and hide while you can, because at Double or Nothing, it’s The Elite VS Blackpool Combat Club, ANARCHY IN THE ARENA!!” The BCC wanted a war, and The Elite are giving it to them! Who will survive in Sin City when anything can happen?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite here, great build towards Double or Nothing, but not in any of the ways I had expected. For one, a shame we won’t get any Blood & Guts, even though there are feuds fitting for it. And a shame Jamie Hayter couldn’t compete tonight for a Six Woman Tag. But the 2v2 was still a great match, and of course The Outcasts still win. Storm has a good promo to call out Hayter, that will be a really good title match, and that could go either way give Storm has The Outcasts but Hayter has Britt. Likewise, great stuff out of The Elite and BCC, and this was a great moment for Hangman to return. No B&G but Anarchy in the Arena was wild last time, so it’ll be just as wild this time.
Really good main event match from Starks VS White, but of course this isn’t the end of it. White getting the win by disqualification is a great move, because White wins without really winning, and this can escalate the feud now to no less than No Disqualifications. I was just hoping for Shawn Spears to back Starks up a bit more, or maybe we bring in Fred Rosser from NJPW Strong to tie in his feud with Juice. And great opening promo from Wardlow, Christian and Luchasaurus, as well as the follow-up with Arn. Bringing out a ladder in that beatdown of course foreshadowed a ladder match, the one kind of match Christian can beat Wardlow because he won’t even need to beat Wardlow, Luchasaurus can do the damage for him.
Really good stuff out of Triple J and FTR. I had a good laugh at FTR just running out to shove Satnam off the stage for him to fall through a table. Kudos on Satnam for taking that spot, too, that can be risky for anyone, and Satnam’s legitimately a big, tall guy. Quite the surprise seeing Karen Jarrett here to help Triple J get one over on FTR, but I think all this is leading to Triple J losing at Double or Nothing. And great stuff out of the Falls Count Anywhere. I loved that they used the loophole, great way for Cole to get at Jericho and help Strong win. I would think we get Cole & Strong VS members of the JAS, like Menard & Parker, before we get Jericho VS Cole at Double or Nothing.
Great stuff out of the world title story, with every Pillar other than MJF having a match tonight. Darby & Cassidy win a great tag match with Moriarty & Morrissey, and Sammy just squashes Exodus Prime. Great promos from everyone after that, and I did not think we’d get a battle royal for the International Championship. I know it’s Blackjack for 21 people being in it, but I hope this is also their Casino Battle Royal, sending people out at random. This might be how Cassidy loses the title while still looking strong. Sammy and Darby also have a good promo to show respect. JB VS Rush was a great match, too, and I like that Sammy and Darby make the save. MJF is mad now, but there’s a good chance he still finds a way to win in the end.
And of course, Tony Khan’s big announcement. We are getting AEW’s newest weekly wrestling show, Saturday Night Collision. A two hour show that on one hand, helps AEW relieve the pressure on them to feature people on the roster, and on the other, keeps CM Punk and The Elite separated. Assuming there even is a “brand split” like what we see in the WWE, there probably won’t be a draft because that’d be way too much like what WWE does. Though, all pro team sports have drafts, too, so it wouldn’t be ripping WWE off since WWE already ripped off real sports. Maybe it’ll be a lottery rather than a draft so that it looks random. And if you can’t tell, that mystery location for Collision’s premiere is going to be Chicago so that Punk can show up and make Collision feel like a big deal.
My Score: 8.8/10

AEW World Trios Championships: The Death Riders VS AR Fox & Top Flight!
Jon Moxley survived another title defense thanks to Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta & Pac, but now they must defend their own titles.

Or will these high-fliers really cash in here tonight?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and it is time to slam, if you wanna jam!
The trios sort out, and The Decoder starts against Darius Martin. The fans rally up as the bell rings. Yuta and Darius circle, tie up, and Yuta wrenches to a hammerlock.

BREAKING NEWS for April!
Dynamite returns to Boston, but it won’t be Big Business. It’ll be a Spring Breakthru! Get your tickets now so you don’t miss out!
Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Lexy Nair brings up the intense match Adam Cole and Daniel Garcia had, going to Hell and back, all for the TNT Championship. It unfortunately ended in a time limit draw, and some would say a tie is worse than a loss. Cole says he certainly feels that way. He feels sick to his stomach, physically beat up, and the worst part is, he had Garcia beat. “Daniel Garcia, I had you beat for that TNT Championship. The time limit is what saved you. And lemme tell you, the next time we do face each other, there will be no outside interference, there will be no time limit. It will be Adam Cole VS Daniel Garcia, for the TNT Championship, and trust me when I tell you, you’re looking at the next champ!”
Kyle O’Reilly says wow. And speaking of rematches, it has been about a week since their match with FTR. And what’s really bugging him isn’t the loss, it’s the lack of respect. Kyle & Roddy showed a lot of respect. They held out their hands, and what’d FTR do? FTR left Kyle wondering if they really are everything they say they are: The best tag team on Earth that’s ever existed in the time-space continuum! Kyle thinks they’re just insecure. Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! No. No, we are not gonna do that. That loss matters. We didn’t go through what we went through to get back together, to lose to the supposed best tag team on the planet.”
Roddy wants FTR to hear this. “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. The third time’s not gonna happen, fellas.” Cole says, “And that is Undisputed.” When and where will we see these epic trilogies happen?
Backstage interview with Kazuchika Okada.
Slam Dunk Sunday returns as Lexy is now with The Rainmaker. We’re not even a quarter into 2025 and Okada has gotten some very significant wins defending the AEW Continental Championship. Okada says yes, at Grand Slam: Australia, he beat Buddy Matthews. At Revolution, he beat Brody King. He put those dogs down. What does that mean? Okada says he means, he put those b*tches to sleep! Is The Rainmaker saying the Hounds of Hell are no more? Or will they come barking back and take a bite out of his belt?
Bandido VS Johnny TV!
The Most Wanted wants his revenge on Chris Jericho, but he was first challenged by the Guru of Greatness for this “big ratings” showdown. Will Bandido mute Johnny and head for The Nueve? Or will he find he’s not #TVReady?
Johnny disrespects Bandido during his entrance by throwing his big studded jacket at him! The fans boo, Johnny grins, but Bandido fires off forearms! The bell rings, Johnny pushes Bandido back, then wrangles him. Johnny rolls Bandido, ONE, but Johnny floats to rain down fists and stomps! Johnny gets his sunglasses off, the fans boo, but Johnny says he is TV Ready. Johnny taunts “cabron” Bandido, then KICKS him in the back. Johnny eggs Bandido on, “How’s my foot taste?” Johnny drags Bandido up for a NECKBREAKER! The fans boo as Johnny shows off the abs. Johnny KICKS Bandido, drags him back up, then fires body shots.
Johnny whips, Bandido ducks ‘n’ dodges, then he CLOBBERS Johnny! The fans fire up as Bandido keeps moving, another big forearm! And another big forearm! Bandido fires up, the fans are with him, and he runs in at the corner. Bandido jumps up to MONKEY FLIP! Johnny flops hard on his face! Johnny gets up in a huff, but runs into a military press! With ONE HAND! Bandido then THROWS Johnny down! Omaha rallies more while Johnny bails out, and Collision goes to single picture.
Bandido build speed, but Johnny slides in and LARIATS! Johnny mocks the clapping, then covers, TWO! Bandido is tougher than that, but Johnny drags him right up. Johnny reels Bandido in, MOONLIGHT DRIVE! Cover, TWO! Bandido is still tougher than that, but Johnny clamps on a dragon sleeper. Bandido endures, even as Johnny hooks a leg and twists him. Bandido fights around, reaches out, but Johnny drags him back! Johnny keeps on the stretch plum style hold, but Bandido still endures. Bandido fights up, fires knees, but Johnny CLUBS Bandido! Johnny INVERTED SUPLEXES, but Bandido lands on the apron!
Bandido blocks a shot, slingshots, but Johnny SHOVES him down! Bandido hits the floor and Johnny goes out after him. Johnny storms up on Bandido, stands him up, and whips him into steel steps! Bandido falls in a heap, Johnny stalks him and taunts him, but Collision goes to break.
Slam Dunk Sunday returns, Johnny runs in at the corner but Bandido BOOTS him away! Bandido then UPPERCUTS, goes up, but Johnny throws him down! Bandido rolls to his feet, runs back in, but Johnny dodges. Johnny runs back in, but Bandido SHOTGUNS him down! The fans fire up, Bandido covers, TWO! Johnny survives that shot but Bandido stays focused. The fans rally, Bandido paces, and Bandido drags Johnny up. Bandido gut wrenches to a Canadian Rack, that then becomes a torture rack! X KNEE! Johnny staggers to the ropes, Bandido says BANG! Bandido runs in, BLACKJACK 21 PLEX!! Bridging cover, Bandido wins!
Winner: Bandido, by pinfall
The Most Wanted was most certainly #TVReady! But he’s not done, as he grabs a mic to call out Jericho! “Come here, and bring my little brother, Gravity’s mask, RIGHT NOOOW!” Bandido waits, and here comes The Learning Tree! The ROH World Champion has “Big Bill” & Bryan Keith behind him, and he is holding onto Gravity’s mask. The fans boo, but Jericho smiles as he holds the mask up. The Learning Tree goes to the ring, and Jericho also has a mic. Jericho steps and says, “You know, Bandido. I wish I could tell you it doesn’t have to be this way, but I think we both know that it does.
“Because even after a generational career, one of the greatest in pro-wrestling history, I still have to remind you, everybody here watching tonight, everybody at home, who’s been fortunate enough to witness the brilliance of the Jericho Era… That you can only take me for granted for so long! That you can only take from me so much until I start taking back.” Jericho can be quite generous, and he can also be very dangerous. Bandido can just ask his family. The fans boo, but Jericho says Bandido’s terrified sister, his disgraced brother, and his weeping mother…! And Jericho is sorry he made Bandido’s mother cry, he really is.
But he had to teach Bandido a lesson! That’s what happens when you try and take the ROH World Championship from Chris Jericho! You understand him? Do you?! The fans boo, but Jericho says if Bandido wants the mask back, he can’t have it. Because Jericho wants Bandido to remember the humiliation that he felt when Jericho took this mask right off his brother. And the only thing worse than taking a luchador’s mask… is putting that mask on! Jericho goes to put Gravity’s mask on! The fans boo as Jericho wears it as his own! His big head doesn’t even fit in it! The fans chant “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” but Jericho tells them to shut up!
Jericho, muffled as his voice is now, tells Bandido that Bandido should just stand there and cry like his mother! Bandido DECKS Jericho instead! But now Bill runs up! Bandido dodges, BOOTS Keith, then dodges again! Bandido goes up, up, but into Bill’s big hand! SKYSCRAPER- NO, Bandido slips free, then dodges Keith! Bandido SNATCHES the mask off Jericho, and gets away clean! The fans fire up as Bandido gets his moral victory! But will he and Jericho go one more round for THE victory?
Megan Bayne speaks.
“I’ve watched others fight for what they believe is theirs: Titles, fame, glory. But none of them possess true power. They worship at the feet of champions, but even those champions don’t understand what it is to be chosen by the heavens. I have arrived here as the embodiment of fate. And when they bow before me, when they worship at my feet, they’ll finally know that the All Elite Goddess has arrived. I am The Megasus, and this is my kingdom now.”
Toni Storm speaks.
“Who died and made you God? Who came down from the mountains and bestowed your power upon my people? Megan Bayne, have you heard the mythology of the one they call Timeless? Hercules doesn’t have my thighs, I have an Oedipal Complex with myself, I can summon the Kraken from my ass, and Pegasus ain’t got s*it on me! I saw my reflection, and my reflection saw me, and we made love until the sun came up. And at Dynasty, I will cut off the head of the mighty Megasus, and I will hold it aloft for the whole world to see, and I will say… ‘By GAWD I’m good.'” Luther applauds in the background, will Toni Storm slay this female titan?
Harley Cameron VS Aminah Belmont!
Though she was rather coy about her- er, Harley-gram’s budding romance with The Beast Mortos, the wild Aussie is getting back in action. Will the Phoenix Princess #FEELTHEWRATH on Slam Dunk Sunday?
The bell rings and the fans rally for Harley. Harley and Aminah tie up, Harley headlocks, but Aminah powers up and out. Aminah drops down, Harley rolls over then bypasses Aminah to LARIAT! The fans cheer, Harley runs and KNEES Aminah low. Then a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! The fans fire up again and Harley stands Aminah up. Aminah throat chops, then straitjackets for the NECKBREAKER! Harley flounders to a corner, Aminah mocks the fans, then she runs in, but into an ELBOW! Harley runs up, ducks the lariat and ENZIGIRIS! The fans fire up for Harley, she ducks Aminah’s roundhouse to pump handle!
Harley lifts for the PUMP HANDLE SAIDO! The fans fire up with Harley, “FEEL THE WRATH!” And then she dragon sleepers, for HER FINISHING MOVE! Cover, Harley wins!
Winner: Harley Cameron, by pinfall
Aminah certainly did #FEELTHEWRATH, and Harley goes right to commentary for our main event! Will Harley have a good time watching Komander & Hologram officially debut as a team? Or will Dralistico y Mortos make everything tranquilo?
Backstage interview with Don Callis.
Lexy is with cruddy Callis and brings up all that is going on within the Family. We have not seen Kyle Fletcher since the brutal cage match at Revolution, and- Callis stops Lexy there. He says we all know what she’s up to here. She is passive aggressively getting Callis all worked up about the cage match, but here’s the thing. When you have Kyle Fletcher, just 26 years old, and already the future of pro-wrestling, “you have the luxury of putting nights like Revolution in the rearview mirror. What I’ve got planned for Kyle Fletcher, what we’ve got planned, is gonna dwarf anything that your little brain could possibly fathom!”
But one thing she said is right: Everyone wants to see Kyle! So tonight is a little treat. Ladies and gentlemen… The Protostar, the future of wrestling, and the New God of Pro-Wrestling, Kyle BAH GAWD Fletcher! Yes, Kyle indeed steps into frame, and he says there has been a lot of talk and rumors that he was in some hospital bed, licking his wounds, but he is here to set the story straight. Yes, the cage match, the entire rivalry with Ospreay, has changed Kyle. But one thing that has not changed is the fact that he is destined to be the greatest of all time!
So he will be at Dynamite this Wednesday, and he’ll make it very apparent what is next for The Family, and for The Protostar, Kyle Fletcher. Say his full name, baby! Callis and Kyle hug it out, are maybe feeling a little too good, but just what is next for the DCF in AEW?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
Tony Khan has decided what’s next for Kyle: Brody King! Will the King of Death prove the Hounds of Hell are not done yet? Or will The Protostar use him as a stepping stone to the top? Then, it is some big meaty men slapping meat as “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs takes on Mark Davis. Will Hobbs finally get past the Don Callis Family with this? Plus, after Megan Bayne and Toni Storm each said their piece tonight, we’re getting a tag team match! Megan again teams with Penelope Ford against the reunited #ThunderStorm! Can La Mera Mera get her own revenge while helping Timeless Toni tune up for Dynasty?
And Kenny Omega not only returns, he is back in action against Blake Christian! Will the Best Bout Machine use the Vanilla Babyface as an appetizer for that big International Championship Triple Threat at Dynasty? And last but not least, after Dax Harwood left Cope hanging last week, Tony Schiavone will interview #RatedFTR to get to the bottom of this divide. All this when AEW arrives in St. Paul, Minnesota!
Los Titanes del Aire VS La Faccion Ingobernable!
This one has been a long time coming. Hologram was put on the shelf because of Dralistico, Mortos y Rush, but he was able to reboot, rebuild and refresh in time to help Komander fight back. Can the Titans of the Air fly high over LFI? Or will Dralistico y Mortos stampede over them like rampaging bulls?
The teams sort out, the ref has to keep them back, and then Dralistico starts against Hologram. Harley claims to have no idea who “Harley-gram” really is, but whoever she is, she has a fantastic chest. Wait, Mortos CLOBBERS Komander! The fans boo, but Hologram dodges, and Mortos CLOBBERS Darlistico! Hologram fires hands, Mortos headlocks, but Hologram goes up the ropes! Hologram then flips free, SOBATS, and whips.

Winners: Los Titanes del Aire, by pinfall
A powerful first match as a true duo, and LFI is in retreat! Will Komander & Hologram start to take over AEW? Will “Harley-gram” be along for the ride?
My Thoughts:
A great second part to Slam Dunk Weekend, and again I like just one hour Collision. As they did last night, the title match opened, and it was great stuff. But of course Death Riders retained, a random special episode was not where they’d lose the titles. Plus, The Cru went after Top Flight to restart their rivalry. Very good promo from Okada to talk down to the Hounds, and very good promo from Kyle & Callis to talk themselves up. Kyle VS Brody will be great stuff, but I feel like Okada and Brody can circle back around to a rematch for Dynasty. It’s mostly that Brody won’t take kindly to Okada calling him and Buddy “b*tches” again.
Great match from Bandido VS Johnny, and a very good promo segment with The Learning Tree. Bandido getting the mask back was good stuff, and I bet we’ll get one more ROH World Championship match between Bandido and Jericho. I would hope this time Bandido wins and we can start moving towards a Learning Tree fallout with Bill turning on Jericho. Supercard of Honor isn’t until May, maybe we can build up other names from within the ROH roster to start challenging for the top title. And very good promo from The Undisputed Kingdom to hype up both the eventual Garcia VS Cole 3 and FTR VS Kyle & Roddy 3 matches. Those might even be at Dynasty.
And of course we got story tie-ins of Harley with LFI. Harley got a good win over Aminah, and she of course played a part in Los Titanes winning over LFI. Rush needs to return to have a talk with Mortos, and of course this “Beauty & The Beast Mortos” story is going to keep on going until Harley-gram is exposed as Harley.
My Score: 8.8/10

Best Wrestler Alive Open Challenge: Max Caster VS ???
Slam Dunk Saturday returns and Platinum Max is already in the ring. He has the mic to tell Omaha, “You are looking live at the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans boo that claim given Caster is 0-5 at his own challenge. But Caster still says everyone knows that Caster is a very busy man. He has a packed schedule, unlike his former tag team partner… The fans chant, “We Want Bowens!” but Caster says he has some news for us: Bowens ain’t here, and he ain’t coming back, cuz Caster ran his ass outta AEW! The fans boo more, but Caster says surely there are a lot of Maximaniacs here today, so time to give them what they want, and that is to chant his name!
Okay, here goes! “Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive! Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans boo that stupid chant, so Caster says it’s four on the floor. But anyway, let’s get to business! Who can survive the Best Wrestler Alive? The man to answer is… HOOK! Will the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil make sure Caster finally learns his lesson?
The bell rings and the fans sing, “Hook is gonna kill~ you!” Caster says before they start, he knows Hook has a lot to say, so he should get it off his chest. Then Caster throws the mic at Hook! Caster attacks in that distraction, then CLUBS away on Hook! The fans boo, Caster whips but Hook reverses! Caster goes up and over, keeps moving, then ducks ‘n’ dodges. Caster cartwheels, cheers himself on, but then Hook trips Caster up! The fans cheer, and Hook clamps on REDRUM!! Caster TAPS, Hook wins!
Winner: Hook, by submission
Well, now it’s 0-6. Will Caster ever realize he’s not the Best Wrestler Alive?
Backstage interview with Queen Aminata.
Lexy Nair is with the One True African Queen, and notes that we are moments away from the tiebreaker with Julia Hart. They are 1-1, but Aminata won the previous match, so how does that momentum have her feeling? Aminata says she is- interrupted by Serena Deeb. Deeb says that was a fantastic win against Julia. What has she been telling Aminata? Listen to Deeb and you win! And tonight, it’s the rematch, and lucky for Aminata, Deeb came prepared. She has another playbook. This is 1000 holds, something Deeb has worked on for 20 years. It is everything Aminata needs to know to beat Julia, or anyone for that matter.
Deeb says it is all in this book. She hasn’t lied to Aminata yet, has she? Aminata tells The Professor thanks, but no thanks. Aminata is confident she can win this third match on her own. Aminata heads out and Deeb says well, we’ll see about that. What is Deeb about to do to test Aminata? Or will having one more match with the Princess of the Black Throne more than enough?
Julia Hart VS Queen Aminata!
The bell rings and Aminata circles with Hart. They tie up, Aminata waistlocks, then lifts, but Hart goes for a victory roll. Aminata stuffs that into a cover of her own, TWO!!

Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Lexy is with the wild Aussie and brings up that tomorrow night, Slam Dunk Sunday, we see Harley get back in action! Plus, Komander & Hologram will take on Dralistico & Beast Mortos. Mortos has had some rather intriguing interactions with “Harley-gram.” Harley says, “Oh, Lexy, Lexy, Lexy. Lucha Libre is a fascinating and amazing world. And I’m sure tomorrow’s match will be fantastic. And y’know what? Tomorrow night, yes, I do have a match, but! I will also stick around and be on commentary for that match. So I don’t really see the point of us discussing the romantic capabilities of a beast, y’know?”
Lexy says yeah, but uh, isn’t “Harley-gram” just Harley? NO, FEEL THE WRATH! Harley runs off, but will Harley be able to focus on her match with Mortos around? Will Mortos be able to focus on his match with Harley around?
Six Man Tag: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, Mark Briscoe & Rocky Romero VS The Don Callis Family!
While the Book of Hobbs is stuck on a chapter involving the Don Callis Family, he has decided to conglomerate with the Sussex County Chicken & Azucar! Will Briscoe & Rocky help Hobbs get through the “writer’s block?” Or will Konosuke Takeshita, Brian Cage & Lance Archer make sure #EverybodyDies?
The trios sort out and Briscoe starts against Konosuke. Don Callis is on commentary and Schiavone is sure he is not in a good mood over his guy, Mark Davis, missing out on the International Championship. Callis focuses instead on the Six Man Tag, and his “three physical freaks” of the Callis Family. Briscoe and Konosuke tie up, Briscoe headlocks, and Omaha rallies for #DemBoys. Konosuke powers up and out, Briscoe RAMS him, but Konosuke comes back to run Briscoe over! Things keep moving, Konosuke bypasses Briscoe but Briscoe slides under. Briscoe springs up to hit the crane stance! Callis says that is disrespectful!
Konosuke blocks the crane kick, spins Briscoe around, and back suplexes, only for Briscoe to land out. Konosuke kicks low, whips Briscoe to a corner, but Briscoe goes up and out. Briscoe eggs Konosuke on, then counters the punch with a REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUT! Briscoe climbs, aims, and leaps, but Konosuke BODY BLOWS the ax handle down! The fans boo but Konosuke stands Briscoe up. Konosuke whips Briscoe to the Callis corner, but Briscoe BOOTS Archer down! The fans fire up but Cage grabs Briscoe.

Konosuke sputters while Rocky gives some Azucar Heat. Rocky runs to DIVE, but Cage catches him! And hands him off to Konosuke! APRON POWERBOMB! Cage CLOBBERS Briscoe, Archer whips Hobbs into railing!
The fans boo, the Callis Family soaks up that heat, and Collision goes picture in picture.
The ring count starts, Archer talks smack tot he camera that we can’t hear, but Konosuke puts Rocky in the ring. Cover, TWO! Rocky survives but Konosuke drags him up.

Archer hits buckles, staggers around, and he tags to Konosuke. Konosuke drops an ELBOW on Rocky! Konosuke looms over Rocky, CLUBS him, and then brings him around. Konosuke whips Rocky hard into buckles and Rocky falls to the mat. Konosuke looms as Slam Dunk Saturday returns to single picture.

Rocky fires another forearm, and another, but Konosuke SMACKS Rocky! Rocky roars and fires a flurry! The fans fire up but Konosuke fires boxing elbows! Then a ROLLING- UPPERCUT from Rocky!

Cover, Don Callis Family wins!
Winners: The Don Callis family, by pinfall
Omaha was served up some meat and chicken with sugar on top, but the Don Callis Family ate it all! Will this win help Konosuke head back for a title opportunity in time for Dynasty? Will Hobbs at least be allowed to move on from the Don Callis Family?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here for just the first half of the Slam Dunk Weekend, as recorded Wednesday night after Dynamite. I kinda like Collision being just one hour, but obviously they’ll go back to two hours on one night next week. Opening with the TNT Championship was quite the surprise, but that did help it go the full 20 minutes, which was a particularly clever move here. Garcia keeps the title but Cole was very close, so maybe we get a third match where they extend or completely do away with the time limit to get a definitive winner. And at that point, I would think Adam Cole wins to finally have a singles title in AEW.
Good stuff in Caster again losing his own Open Challenge. Good win for Hook as it’s been a minute since he’s had a singles match. With Caster harping on Bowens being absent, this really needs to culminate with Bowens answering the challenge, winning that first time, but then Caster wanting a rematch. Then that match will be awesome stuff, but still ultimately won by Bowens to get it in Caster’s head that he can’t just say he’s the Best Wrestler Alive and put it on a piece of paper. Then we can see Caster take his character in another direction, maybe do some soul searching. Or more likely, just double down and be even more insufferable.
Very good match for Hart VS Aminata 3, hard to say if it was that much better than the previous, but Hart winning makes sense with Aminata VS Deeb still needing to happen. A shame the Aminata-Deeb feud had to build in the background of the Aminata-Hart feud, but it’s not like they could do more on a week to week basis. Unless… Well, snark aside, Aminata will surely take Deeb up on at least that Pure Rules match for a first-time-ever in the Women’s Division, and I would love for a Women’s Pure Championship to be created in time for Supercard of Honor. It actually works out that Supercard had to be pushed back to avoid clashing with WrestleMania, because the pacing of the Women’s Division definitely can/will go all the way to May.
Very good promo from Harley to not just hype up Slam Dunk Sunday, but to also poke fun at how she is so obviously Harley-gram, and that there is some, uh, animal magnetism between her and Mortos. And Schiavone said that Komander & Hologram VS Mortos & Dralistico will be the main event, so you can bet there will be shenanigans involving Mortos and Harley/Harley-gram.
My Score: 8.8/10
