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 slides in, and White stomps away on him! White CLUBS Starks, Starks throws hands with White and backs him down! The ref counts as Starks stomps away in the corner, but fans fire up as Starks goes hard! Starks finally lets off and White flops out of the ring.
Starks goes out after White but White RAMS him into an apron! White then brings Starks up, but Starks RAMS him into railing! Juice is upset but the fans rally up.

White stalks Starks, drags him up, and whips him to ropes. Starks reverses and back drops! Fans fire up as Starks strikes his pose properly. 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 throws hands, stomps White, but the ref has him back off.
White knees Starks low! White whips Starks into the corner, but Starks comes back to LARIAT! Fans fire up and Juice coaches White. Fans rally as both men rise, and White runs in, into an atomic drop! Starks runs to SHOTGUN BOOT! White goes to a corner, Starks runs in to back elbow! And then TORNADO- NO, White throws Starks away! White rushes in, into an OVERHEAD Belly2Belly! Fans fire up and Starks air guitars. TORNADO DDT! Cover, TWO! White is still in this and Starks shakes his head. “This is Awesome!” as Starks drags White back up. Starks nods, he underhooks, but White deadweights him.
Starks CLUBS away on White, but White RAMS Starks low! Starks staggers, comes back, but White kicks low to DDT! Both men are down and Juice coaches White up.

The ref realizes what’s going on, he tells Starks not to go any further! Starks doesn’t care, he SMACKS White!!
Winner: Jay White, by disqualification
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

Daniel Garcia speaks.
“Andrade, you wanna know what really, really makes me mad? It’s when someone likes you comes in here and thinks they can step all over people like me. Well I’m not having it anymore. Tonight, I fight back. And if I needed any more motivation to win other than getting those three points, it’s putting somebody like you in his place.”
Bryan Danielson speaks.
“Eddie Kingston, tonight, it’s you and me in the Continental Classic. And do y’know what? I don’t want depressed Eddie Kingston. I don’t want Eddie Kingston who feels bad about himself because he lost his first round match. I want the Eddie Kingston that won the ROH World title. I want the Eddie Kingston who’s confident enough to put in BOTH his titles in this tournament! Eddie Kingston, I want the best version of you because if you don’t bring it, you’re gonna get hurt.”
Eddie Kingston speaks.
“Look, guys, I know we gotta do this cold open thing. It’s the cool thing to do on Collision. I don’t have time. I gotta go get ready, I’m 0-1 in this tournament already, I do NOT wanna go 0-2. Bryan, I do respect you, sort of, so I don’t care about your eye, I don’t care about your arm, I don’t care about anything about you. All I care about is winning. So guess what? I’m gonna bust you up.”

Claudio goes to another corner but Brody CLUBS him! And CHOPS him! Claudio UPPERCUTS! Brody CHOPS! Repeat! Brody gets the edge as he ROCKS Claudio again, then CHOPS him down! Claudio leans against ropes as he coughs and gasps for air. Brody clamps on with a chinlock, digs his forearm cast into Claudio’s face, and Collision returns to single picture.

Jon Moxley speaks.
“If it turns out that entering this Continental Classic tournament was a bad idea, I won’t find out ’til it’s too late. I’m banged up. Maybe the last four years is finally catching with me, because nobody’s done it anywhere in the world like I do it the last four years. My head hurts, my neck hurts, my back hurts, now my knee hurts. Getting that tingly-ness in my fingers now all the time. I live in pain on a day to day basis like most people couldn’t even imagine. Now on top of that, my head’s not screwed on straight all the time lately. The doctors are prescribing me this medication, that medication.
“And I’m just sick of it all. I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired. I’m sick and tired of being pissed off at my body failing me, I’m sick and tired of being depressed, I’m being sick and tired about being pissed about the entire last year. I’m sick and tired of being pissed off. So I’m gonna do the only thing I know how to do, the only thing I’m good at: I’m gonna wrestle my way out of it. I’m gonna fight my way out of it. I’m gonna put every ounce, every drop of sweat and effort and will I have into winning this Continental Classic tournament.
“This kind of thing, this is what AEW was built on, man. Two guys in the ring, the best wrestlers in the world, giving it their all, feeling that feeling when you’ve given every ounce of yourself in the ring, and pushing the limits, and pushing the boundaries, and making people stand up and go ‘Oh my God!’ What’d I just see?’ Feeling that connection with an audience that loves wrestling as much as we do. That is what AEW is about. Somebody’s gotta step up and win this tournament, and show the world exactly what AEW is, exactly what All Elite Wrestling can be! And that’s just gonna have to be me.
“Because anybody can say what they want but I’m the Ace of the World, b*tch, and that’s just the way it is. And there is nobody in this tournament that can do anything to me worse than what I deal with on a daily basis. Nothing they can do to me that’s worse than fighting the demons that I fight on a daily basis. If you think I’m shot, if you think my trigger’s been pulled, if you think I’m ripe for the picking, please, please, take your shot.” The Maniac is going to go until he can’t go any more, will El Toro Blanco look to take that shot this Wednesday?
Abadon VS Kiera Hogan!
With title chases never stopping, the Undead Girl and the Hottest Flame are fighting to get ahead. Who wins here to move up in the rankings towards the champions of AEW?
The bell rings, Kiera is wary of Abadon, and the two circle. Abadon corners Kiera, run sin, but Kiera dodges. Kiera SHOTGUNS Abadon down and fans fire up! Kiera runs in but Abadon sends her into buckles! Abadon fires off clothesline after clothesline, but lets off as the ref counts. Abadon runs in but Kiera avoids the boot to then KICK the legs out! Kiera runs, and she HIP ATTACKS Abadon against ropes! Kiera then snapmares, Abadon ducks the buzzsaw but not the SUPERKICK! Kiera runs Around the World to BOOT WASH! Cover, TWO! Kiera keeps cool as she runs again, but Abadon catches her for a SCRAPBUSTER!
Abadon roars and the fans fire up! Abadon runs in to SPLASH Kiera in a corner, then whips. Kiera reverse, Abadon slips out and then ROCKS Kiera! HEADSHOT CUTTER! Cover, TWO! Kiera is still in this but Abadon mocks the peace fingers. Abadon stalks Kiera, has her in the ropes, and mocks that pretty face. Abadon licks Kiera, YANKS her off the ropes, and then storms around.

Winner: Abadon, by pinfall
Like the Nightmare Before Christmas, Abadon is bringing the scary to the merry season! But will Abadon earn a championship match as a Christmas gift to herself?
Wait! The lights go out! And when the lights come back, JULIA HART is here! Abadon turns around to see her, and the TBS Champion smiles. The lights go out again, and when they come back again, Julia’s gone. Abadon shrieks into the night, will this be like Jason VS Freddy for the title?
Backsatge interview with Samoa Joe.
Alex Marvez says the last time we saw Joe, he was furious that MJF accepted a tag team challenge from “The Devil of AEW.” Joe says why wouldn’t he be? But then someone shouts “SAMOA JOOOE~!” In rolls Roderick Strong & The Kingdom. Roddy tells Joe that Roddy is willing to forgive Joe for trying to end his career with a broken neck not just once but twice. And he knows Joe has his world title match with Max, but c’mon, this is clearly a trap! MJF is the Devil! But hey, Roddy’s best friend “ADAAAM~!” likes Joe and thinks of him as a friend. So as Adam Cole’s best friend, that makes Roddy a friend to Joe.
So hey, Wednesday, it’s a set-up. Those goons will beat the crap out of Joe! And MJF isn’t even here right now! He’s probably plotting how they’re gonna do it! The Kingdom says yeah, Roddy’s right. So just listen to him, okay? Joe chuckles and leaves. Does Joe think they’re joking? Between Joe and “The Devil,” who will have the last laugh on Dynamite?
AEW Continental Classic, Blue League: Andrade El Idolo VS Daniel Garcia!
We saw this showdown before when CJ Perry was recruiting clients, and we saw which way that went. But then will history repeat itself? Or will Red Death ruin Andrade’s start in the Blue League?
While no “seconds” are allowed, meaning even manager CJ must return to the back, Daddy Magic found a loophole by joining commentary. He still disapproves of the Garcia dance. Anyway, the bell rings, we’re on the clock, and the two circle. Fans rally up as the two tie up, Garcia rolls Andrade up, ONE! Garcia says he almost had Andrade, but Andrade just smirks. The two reset, tie up again, and Andrade headlocks. Andrade holds on tight, but Garcia powers up to power out. But Andrade runs Garcia over!

Willie Mack speaks.
“See, Wardlow, I know you’ve been going through a lot of things these past few weeks, putting your hands on people. But one thing you know about me is you don’t put your hands on my friends. Y’see, this is a person who I’ve tagged with and won multiple tag team championships in other promotions with. So what I’ma have to do, is I’ma have to reach out and touch you. So next week, we’re gonna have to do the damn thing in the ring, so guess what? You better pack a lunch, because I’m a big boy, and I’m a big meal to try to eat.” Mack is standing up for AR Fox, but will the Return of the Mack end up Wardlow’s newest victim?

Backstage interview with Ethan Page.
Lexi Nair is with All Ego, who has requested this time. Ethan says that ever since losing out on the AEW World Championship to MJF, in his home country of Canada, Ethan has had to regroup and refocus. He’s gotten into the best physical shape of his life, he has been in ROH building up win after win. And so, here Ethan is to make a challenge and check off a bucket list thing. AEW is going back to Canada, and Ethan wants to be THE biggest name in Canadian wrestling. So therefore, to be the King of Canada, he needs his crown. That crown is currently on someone else’s head.
So in Montreal, 1v1, we find out who the best Canadian wrestler truly is, as Ethan calls out KENNY OMEGA! Will The Cleaner give All Ego that opportunity?
AEW hears from Willow Nightingale and Mercedes Martinez.
The Babe with the Power tells Mercedes, “our history goes further back than you probably even realize. I’ve been such a fan, and I’ve admired you so much.” The OG Badass says the first time they met, Willow “was this night little pretty Willow.” Willow says she is constantly disappointed in Mercedes’ behavior as of late, and in herself because she hasn’t been able to beat Mercedes. Mercedes asks how many times must Willow dance her way into Mercedes’ business? Isn’t Willow tired of being everyone’s hero? Next time they meet, Willow will need to be saved. Because Mercedes will dance and stomp all over her.

Winner: The House of Black, by pinfall
Another Collision, another sweep for the Dark Father and his family. The lights go down, but why? The House is already here. But here comes FTR! Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood storm down to the ring bathed in the magenta light! Malakai tells them that before they do anything, Malakai assumes that they’re both here because they are joining the House. Dax chuckles but Malakai says he is a family man. And we know it’s been weeks. The only people in AEW that have been here for the both of them has been The House of Black. Malakai’s done a lot of things, but not once has he told a lie.
The fans chant “HOUSE OF BLACK!” and Malakai drops the mic for FTR to take. Dax picks it up, but Buddy KNEES him down! Cash goes after Buddy but he gets mugged!

Backstage interview with Toni Storm.
Renee Paquette is with “Timeless Toni,” bringing up last week as Storm accepting the AEW Women’s World Championship, and Storm says yes, she knows, she has no time for these prepared questions. And where is “that man who usually does my interviews? He has so much more poise.” And she isn’t even finished doing her hair because they were too busy with some blonde floosy! And yes, Storm did accept her championship last week, Renee was a dear for presenting that. But Storm was unceremoniously interrupted by Skye Blue!
Storm tells Skye that if she had any advice at all, it’d be to walk backwards! The only time anyone has anything nice to say about Skye, it’s in reference to her bottom! Is Storm supposed to be worried because Skye’s all spooky now? With that little thing on her head? Storm used to wear hats and be spooky. BOO. See? Not that hard. Interrupt her, fine. She can be first to challenge for “this little huckleberry right here.” But until then, chin up, chest out, and oh… she’s bare foot. Sorry. She takes RENEE’S shoe to throw around! Toni is timeless, but will the Storm strike down Chicago Skye?
Skye Blue speaks.
Well first, she sighs. “Toni, I have met you through every single one of your phases, but this little midlife crisis your going through is the most pathetic I have seen thus far. But you haven’t met this Skye Blue. So bring your little butler, bring your little blond bimbo, and whatever 1940s black ‘n’ white crap you got up that robe, because none of it is going to stop me from taking that championship from you. So I’m gonna have my chin up, my chest out, and I’m gonna shove your shoe right up your ass.” Strong words from a fired up challenger, will she be the new leading lady of AEW?
Christian Cage speaks.
Captain Charisma says, “I don’t think it’s any secret to anybody how far back my relationship with Adam Copeland goes. I think I more or less tolerated Adam. He was a hanger-on, he wanted to be like me, which is why he’s always tried to steal my spotlight wherever we’ve gone.” And that held Christian back. Edge got what he never got. He was pushed all the way to the bottom when they broke up as a tag team. But Christian willed himself to the top. he is here to be the best, anyone else is expendable. And Edge wants to take away everything Christian’s built up the last three years? Christian has nothing to prove to himself, but Edge has everything to prove to Christian.
This time, Christian is what everyone talks about. Whether it’s Dynamite, Rampage or Collision, Christian nis on the tip of everyone’s tongue. He is the Face of TNT, the Face of AEW, then, now and forever! Christian has always been better than Edge, and in Montreal, everyone will finally know. But will “The Patriarch” be the one in for a shock when things get Rated R on Wednesday?
El Hijo Del Vikingo VS Kip Sabian!
The AAA Mega Champion is coming off a big trios win last night on Rampage, but Mr. Superbad just thinks of him as the most overrated wrestler on the AEW roster. Will Kip put his money where his mouth is? Or will he be on the losing end of this Collision?
The bell rings, the two circle, and they feel things out. They tie up, Kip cording holds but Vikingo whips. Kip arm-drags and holds on, but Vikingo goes up and over!

Kip drags Vikingo up, puts him in the ring, then drags him up to ROCK him with a forearm. Kip bumps Vikingo off buckles, then whips corner to corner hard! Vikingo falls back, Kip flexes, and Kip drags Vikingo to a cover, TWO! Kip drags Vikingo into a mounted armlock, but Vikingo endures. Kip BITES Vikingo’s hand! The ref misses that, but Vikingo fights to the ROPEBREAK! Kip lets go, then stands Vikingo up to ELBOW him to the corner. Kip stomps Vikingo again and again, then sits him down. Kip backs up to then run in again, CANNONBALL! Kip drags Vikingo to a cover, TWO! Vikingo is hanging in there but Kip keeps cool as Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Kip ROCKS Vikingo with forearm after forearm. Fans boo, Kip whips, but Vikingo rebounds, gets under, and DREAMCAST KICKS! Kip flops against ropes and fans rally with Vikingo. Vikingo runs in at the corner, but stops as Kip moves. Kip returns, into a scoop and torture rack! Argentine Flip KNEE STRIKE! Like an inverted GTS! Kip falls, Vikingo drags him to a drop zone and goes up the ropes from the outside. INSIDE-OUT PHOENIX SPLASH!! Cover, TWO!! Kip survives and he manages to smile about it. Vikingo drags Kip back to another drop zone, but Kip goes after Vikingo as he climbs!

Vikingo puts Kip back in, runs corner to corner, METEORA! And then Vikingo goes right up, for the 630 SENTON!!! Cover, Vikingo wins!!
Winner: El Hijo Del Vikingo, by pinfall
The AAA Mega Champion cools off Kip’s hot take, because no one who can do what Vikingo did in this match is “overrated!” But Vikingo does show Kip a sign of respect by offering a handshake. The fans cheer to shake hands, but Kip says no! Will Kip ever get over himself? Will Vikingo earn even more gold in the New Year?
Backstage interview with Keith Lee.
Lexi is with the Limitless One, and says last time, he mentioned “him.” Just who is “him?” But then in walks Shane Taylor, because he knows who “him” is! Because Keith ain’t dumb enough to look past Shane. But last year’s match didn’t solve anything, so this year, they give the people the fight they really wanna see. Keith VS Shane, 1v1, Final Battle, so Shane can beat Keith’s ass in front of the entire world! Keith thinks on that a moment. Challenge accepted. And see #TAIGASTYLE later, too. Then in two weeks, in Garland, Texas, will that truly be the Pretty Boy Killers’ Final Battle?
Backstage interview with CJ Perry.
Lexi and CJ are outside Andrade’s office, and notes that Andrade’s first win was impressive. UH OH, here comes Miro! Miro says move, CJ says no! Miro can’t go in there! She knows he thinks things will go poorly, but when Miro chose his god over her, she has to prove herself. By Andrade winning, it will help CJ. So if Miro wants to go in there, fine, he’s a grown man. But if there is any love left for CJ, do not do this. Do not lay a hand on her client. Please? Miro says if His God was still with him, he would be in this tournament and have ripped Andrade’s spine out already! Miro then caresses CJ’s face, and says he won’t touch her client. She has his word.
Miro storms off, but what will The Redeemer do to prove himself worthy of gold in the background of the Continental Classic?
AEW Continental Classic, Blue League: Bryan Danielson VS Eddie Kingston!
The American Dragon was the first entrant named to this tournament, but could not compete in it until now. And he doesn’t think The Mad King is ready if one loss takes away all the confidence he had going into this. Will Bryan just pour fuel on that fire? Or will Eddie be the one to earn his first points tonight?
The bell rings and we’re on the clock. The fans fire up as Bryan and Eddie stare down. They slowly circle and approach. They feel things out, knuckle lock, but then Eddie tests things with a kick. Bryan stays back, they reset, and Eddie guards a kick. Bryan keeps trying but Eddie pushes back. Bryan uses ropes as a defense and the fans boo. Bryan smirks as he and Eddie reset, and they test the waters again. Bryan gives kicks, Eddie walks it off, and they feel things out again. Eddie fires off hands, clinches Bryan on the ropes, and the ref counts. Eddie puts Bryan in a corner, the ref counts but Bryan turns things around.
Bryan lets off slowly, but then CHOPS! Eddie just snarls while fans “WOO~!” Eddie storms up on Bryan, they feel things out, and Eddie tries some kicks now.

Winner: Bryan Danielson, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Eddie earns 0)
THIS is the fight Bryan wanted from Eddie! But in the end, Bryan is the one to win the fight! Will Bryan keep on going through his next four fights? Eddie is technically still ROH World & NJPW Strong Openweight Champion, but with an 0-2 start, has he all but lost them both?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision, with awesome Continental Classic matches, but also matches they kayfabe’d as “standby” to try and kayfabe the tournament matches not going closer to their 20 minute time limits. A weird move to me but it’s not like we haven’t seen such a move by American televised pro-wrestling before. And surprisingly great stuff out of Vikingo VS Kip, but that was partly the point. Kip calls Vikingo overrated, then gets beat by Vikingo to show how legit Vikingo is, and there could even be a rivalry in the making or something. Kip still has Butcher & Blade to call on, that trio could take on Vikingo, Komander & Penta at some point.
Good match from Abadon and Kiera, with a really good win for Abadon. Julia showing up to basically call Abadon out was an interesting move but I also like it. Different kinds of spooky wrestlers are going to collide, this will be a good program for them both. And very good promos from both Storm and Skye to hype up their title match this Wednesday. Renee definitely looked like she was struggling to not break during Storm’s part, that’s how good Storm is. And I would think Storm retains because she’ll have Luther and Mariah May ringside. And good promo from Willow and Mercedes to set up their match, that’ll be really good stuff.
Good promo from Willie Mack to call out Wardlow but I would think Wardlow beats him to continue his dominance. Good promo from Christian to add some final hype onto the TNT Championship match. And good promo from Ethan Page to not just plug his time in ROH, but also to call out Kenny Omega. Ethan VS Omega is going to be really good, but that probably ends up being Omega’s win to build momentum going into the next round against Don Callis Family. But it also just makes me think Tony Khan still doesn’t get how ROH is supposed to matter. Ethan is in the middle of stuff with Tony Nese and he’s dividing his attention by wanting to be King of Canadian Wrestlers? What?
But thankfully, we did get a promo from Keith Lee and Shane Taylor to finally set up that match. And I do appreciate that it will be part of Final Battle since that’s where this feud started. Anything to make up for poor ticket sales and no ROH World Championship. Or even tag team championship at this point, right? The Kingdom called out MJF but MJF hasn’t taken the time to respond, he has The Devil of AEW to worry about. Good promo from Joe with Roddy & The Kingdom before The Kingdom beat The Iron Savages. Roddy was extra dramatic in his floundering out of the ring this time, can’t wait to see whether he and The Kingdom are still in on the whole Devil goon squad stuff.
Very good tag match from House of Black VS Daniels & Sydal but of course the House won. And good promo with FTR that then turned into a beatdown. That tag match is definitely going to be big for like Winter is Coming. And then, the Continental Classic. Great opening match from Claudio VS Brody, with a great win for Brody to lead the way in this block. And just as I expected, while we got awesome showings in the other matches, Garcia and Eddie each lost to Andrade and Bryan. Good promo for Miro wanting after Andrade but showing mercy for CJ’s sake. That feud probably waits until after the tournament, assuming Andrade isn’t a finalist. Worlds End would be a good PPV for Miro VS Andrade to happen as part of this ongoing story.
I also appreciated Eddie saying he doesn’t want to do cold open promos when he has a big match to get ready for. Doing coverage like I do, I don’t want to fall behind on the broadcast already trying to keep up with what people are saying at the very start like that. Even Claudio did a short promo because he also just wants to have his match, so they really should just have the matches and save promos for later in the night.
My Score: 8.8/10

OrangeHausen, HookHausen, OrangeHook, all of the above, and #JustTrent take on Daddy Magic, Cool Hang Ange, Alex Reynolds & Evil Uno in a big, super team-up type deal! But will the Very Nice, Very Evil Best Friends be victorious together? Or will the rogues gallery standing against them earn themselves quite a lot of golden opportunities all at once?
But wait, as Big Hurt Hager gets the VNVEBFs to turn their backs, the rogues attack! Fans boo, the bell rings, and all but Danhausen is tossed out of the ring as he tosses Reynolds instead. Uno CLUBS Danhausen, Cassidy is sent into railing, and Uno puts Danhausen in a corner. Uno CHOPS him, soaks up the heat, and then storms up. Danhausen kicks low, throws hands, but Uno kicks back.

The ref reprimands but the Dark Order & X-JAS get the edge. They all have someone in a corner, then they all coordinate to quadruple whip! But the Best Friends all reverse that, X-JAS and Dark Order crash into each other! And then Best Friends set up in the corners… and Hook needs to be coaxed a little bit, for the GROUP- NO, they all get kicked low! Fans boo as X-JAS & Dark Order reel them in, but the Best Friends QUADRUPLE SUPLEX!
Fans fire up because now we get the GROUP HUG! You GOT to give the people what they want! Hook then goes after Parker with body shots, but Menard storms up.

Uno CHOPS Cassidy down! Danhausen baits Uno in for a GERMAN SUPLEX! Reynolds runs in, spins Danhausen and ROLLING ELBOWS!
Hook is back up, T-BONE for Reynolds! T-BONE for Parker! Uno is up, he kicks low and whips. Hook reverses that to clinch and T-BONE! Extra large serving for Uno there! But wait, here comes Wheeler Yuta! The ROH Pure Champion wants to taunt Hook like he has been for weeks now, and then Menard CLOBBERS Hook in the distraction! Yuta joins commentary while Menard bumps Hook off buckles, and reels him in for a big suplex! Tag to Parker and he stomps Hook down. Parker stomps more, then pushes Hook around. Parker tags Uno, they mug Hook. Uno then bumps Hook off the boots of Menard and Reynolds.
Reynolds tags in, he runs side to side to ELBOW Hook! Uno SPLASHES, short arm LARIATS, and Reynolds covers, TWO! Reynolds stands on Hook’s head, fans boo but the Dark Order and X-JAS soak up the heat. But Hook clinches! Reynolds fights with forearms, then he bumps Hook off buckles. Tag to Menard, he stomps Hook then lets off to distract the ref, Uno and Parker CHOKE Hook while Rampage goes picture in picture!

Parker CLUBS Hook down, then stomps him. Parker taunts the Best Friends, flicks his hair gel at them, then goes back to Hook. Parker CLUBS Hook, tags Uno, and they mug Hook some more. Uno scrapes his laces on Hook’s face then tags Parker back in. Parker stomps Hook, but Hook powers Parker back! They end up on ropes, Parker KNEES Hook back! Parker then BLASTS Cassidy off the corner!
Rampage returns to singe picture as Parker goes after Hook, and Hook gets around to NORTHERN LIGHTS! Parker tags Menard but Hook LARIATS Menard down! The fans fire up as Hook and Menard crawl, hot tags to Trent and Uno! Trent rallies on Uno, then on Reynolds! GERMAN SUPLEX! And then another GERMAN SUPLEX! Trent still has Reynolds but Reynolds fights the nelson. Uno runs in but Trent ducks, the BOOT hits Reynolds! Trent HALF ‘N’ HALF SUPLEXES Uno away! Trent runs in at Reynolds but into a BOOT! Reynolds goes up but Trent YANKS him down for a SAIDO! Fans fire up with Trent!

Cassidy dodges the Dark Order’s double lariat to DOUBLE SHOTGUN! Cassidy kips up and the fans fire up! Cassidy ducks ‘n’ dodges and tilt-o-whirls, but Uno stops the DDT to suplex! Only to get STUN DOG MILLIONAIRE! Cassidy keeps moving but Uno BOOTS him! Uno hooks Cassidy up, for SOMETHING EVIL! Cover, Trent KNEES it apart! Fans fire up, Reynolds BOOTS Trent! Reynolds runs in to BOOT Cassidy in a corner! Reynolds puts Cassidy up top!
Reynolds ROCKS Cassidy, climbs up, but Trent runs up to get Reynolds! SUPER GERMAN SUPLEX! Fans fire up as Cassidy adjusts, and Danhausen tags in! But so does Menard!

Menard lets Danhausen go, but Danhausen rolls him up! BEST FRIENDS WIN!
Winners: Orange Cassidy, Hook, Danhausen & Trent Beretta, by pinfall
Not only is X-JAS furious, but Yuta says this is unbelievable. But will the Decoder have to worry about the much more Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil?
Backstage interview with The Outcasts & Anna Jay.
Renee Paquette is with Saraya, Ruby Soho & The Star of the Show to say they are teaming up for the first time in Six Woman Tag action. Saraya says yes they are, and sorry for cutting Renee off, Renee knows Saraya loves her, but… Isn’t Anna just the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen? Ruby sighs and Saraya says “Liza Minnelli” is in a time out so shush. Anyway, Saraya thanks Anna for teaming with them, Lord knows they’ve needed some extra help around here. And also, they do have something in common that is giant, greasy, irritating, and needs to be handled. Oh, speaking of, here it comes.
Parker walks in, apologizes for not being here sooner, and then says hi to Ruby. But uh, yeah, the guys are ready to go, they’ll be out there for her, team effort! Um, no, Anna doesn’t want the boys out there. Especially Parker. What? But Saraya says this is why she loves Anna! She’s great. Yeah, she is. Hey, no, stop looking at Ruby. Saraya drags Ruby along, leaving Parker alone. Will the X-JAS still even be the X-JAS anymore with all this drama?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
Schiavone says that 28 years ago, in this town, at the Mall of America, two men were in the main event for the very first wrestling match ever on TNT. It was Sting VS Ric Flair. And Schiavone wants to also say that the final match on TNT back then was Sting VS Ric Flair. So it gives Schiavone a sense of pride to welcome one of Minnesota’s favorite sons, as well as STIIIING~! The Icon makes his way out to the ring and fans howl for him. Schiavone then introduces the Nature Boy, the Minnesota native, Ric Flair! Fans “WOO~!” as Flair makes his way out now, and hugs Sting in the ring.
Schiavone has them bring it in. Wednesday night, they announced the location of Sting’s final match at AEW Revolution, March 3rd, 2024. It will be Greensboro, North Carolina, where these two set the standard for a great televised wrestling event. Sting stands at 24-0, the longest undefeated streak standing, and we’re just two weeks away from tickets going on sale. Sting asks to take the mic, and he howls for the fans! The fans howl back and Sting says Minneapolis, lots of great memories here! Not only did he and Ric do the first and last WCW shows on TNT here, but they did the very big, gigantic- Oh, can’t really say that on TV, sorry. Copyright and stuff.
But the massive match at Mall of America, everyone knows about it. Sting’s had great matches here against and with Lex Luger, Bam Bam Bigelow, and lots of other great memories. So good to be back. Thank you for those memories. Thank you, Tony Khan, Tony Schiavone and the Nature Boy! WOO~! Ric takes the mic now, and he says, “Wow. From 1972 ’til today. And believe it or not, I’m still alive. And that’s saying a lot, heh. Because I’ve covered a lot of ground and had a lot of fun. But there are three or four people that are always gonna be special in my life, and you’ll love these names.
“Dusty Rhodes, Ricky The Dragon, and a guy that I think I’ve wrestled at least 15 hundred times over our career, the great–and the word ‘Icon’ does not even enough to begin to say what a man he is. I’m so serious, to be back in my hometown in this moment, and this ride. This is an incredible ride. Think about the history of our business. I’ve been there with him since ’88, and I’m gonna be there with him in the end. And man, that doesn’t happen in real-life, guys. And y’know what? We’ve stayed as respectful and honest with each other as the day we met, and that’s really unusual. You’re the man, brother.”
Fans cheer, and Ric says, “We’re gonna dance all night and dance a little longer. We’re gonna stay up all night and stay a little longer. I cannot tell you where we’ll be at like the old days, but you know we’ll be going AEW strong! WOO~!” Fans echo “WOO~!” with Ric and Schiavone says Ric will be there for Sting at AEW Revolution, tickets on sale soon! The Icon and Nature Boy are riding off into the night, and we have the when and where. Now all we need is, who faces Sting in his final match?
Backstage interview with Hikaru Shida, Kris Statlander & Skye Blue.
Renee is now with the Shining Samurai, the Galaxy’s Greatest and Chicago Skye as she says a lot has changed in the AEW Women’s Division after Full Gear. Shida lost the AEW Women’s World Championship to Toni Storm, and Statlander lost the AEW TBS Championship to Julia Hart, the same match Skye Blue was in. Does tonight feel like a way to get momentum back? Kris says it has been a hard pill to swallow. “You work so hard for something, and you come back from multiple injuries, you come back and change yourself so many times, and you obtain something so precious, and it’s just taken away in a matter of seconds.”
And worse yet, Kris wasn’t the one who got pinned. Oh, okay, blame Skye when Kris had plenty of chances to win the Triple Threat, and didn’t. Shida tells them to stop. She also lost a title, she also feels angry, but not towards them. Not towards her partners. They can take their anger out on their opponents tonight! Kris agrees with that, and so does Skye. Will this trio of stars be able to bring down The Outcasts and Star of the Show?
The Don Callis Family VS JAH-C
So what if they lost the Like A Dragon Street Fight? “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs did damage to Paul “The Giant” Wight like no man has ever done before, and there’s still a lot left in the tank for Kyle Fletcher & Konosuke Takeshita. Will they only be made stronger from that loss?
The teams sort out, Hobbs starts and Jah throws hands! Hobbs doesn’t even flinch! Jah runs, but Hobbs CLOBBERS him! In runs ??? but Hobbs picks him up to SPINEBUSTER! D runs in but Hobbs SPINEBUSTERS him, too! Fletcher & Konosuke step in, they all get a man up, and in synchronized formation, we get the WORLD’S STRONGEST SLAM, GRIMSTONE and BASTARD DRIVER!! Cover, The Don Callis Family wins!
Winners: The Don Callis Family, by pinfall
Fans boo but Callis celebrates with his “family.” Then Callis gets a mic to talk. “Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega! The Golden Jets! You put two of the greatest of all time into a tag team and what do you got? You got a team that could be the most dominant of all time. And I know that wins and losses matter here in All Elite Wrestling. But in the Don Callis Family, the only thing that matters is winning! And whether it’s singles, tag, or trios, the Don Callis Family will continue dominating until there’s nowhere for the Golden Jets to hide in AEW!” The ultimatum has been issued, will it only be a matter of time before AEW belongs to the DCF?
Prince Nana & Brian Cage talk with The Workhorsemen.
Nana says it is an unbelievable time for the Mogul Embassy. Cage says it’s always a great time. Nana says the Gates of Agony are in NJPW World Tag League, killing it and bringing home that money. But tonight, Nana needs to hire some help, and that brings in JD Drake & Anthony Henry. Nana has been watching them, he likes their style. That is why tonight, he needs their services. And this could be a huge opportunity for you both to step up to the plate and to prove a point. To impress Swerve Strickland, too. So tonight, Nana’s paid them, get the job done, and we’ll see if they can join the team. But he believes in them!
Nana & Cage head out, will Scrap metal & The Saint of Augusta help The Machine bring down the luchador trio in tonight’s main event?
Six Woman Tag: Anna Jay & The Outcasts VS Hikaru Shida, Skye Blue & Kris Statlander!
Both sides have said what’s on their mind, but it’s the emotions in their hearts that could make or break these team-ups. Will Saraya be able to keep things together between Anna and Ruby? Or will it be Shida who struggles to keep Skye and Kris on the same page?
The teams sort out and Kris starts against Anna. The fans rally as the two circle, then tie up. Kris waistlocks, SLAMS Anna, then drags her up to tag Shida. The former champs double whip, sweep and ELBOW Anna down. Then they shake hands to DOUBLE ELBOW DROP! Shida covers, TWO! Tag to Skye and she wrenches Anna to a JAWBREAKER! Anna blocks the superkick but not the BASEMENT ROUNDHOUSE! Skye pushes Anna around, but Kris tags herself in. Skye lets that go, to then tag herself back in! But Kris tags back in again! They argue, but then Shida tags herself in to get them both to stop.
But then Anna hot tags Saraya! Saraya gets around Shida, Shida gets around Saraya, but Saraya mule kicks Shida! Saraya runs, but Shida ENZIGURIS first! Shida fires up, the fans are with her, and Shida torture racks! Saraya endures, but Ruby says put her down! So Shida DROPS Saraya! Ruby storms in but Shdia kicks her low, and snap suplexes her onto Saraya! Fans fire up as Shida covers Saraya, TWO! Shida tags Skye in and Skye keeps Saraya from her corner. Skye whips, runs up and SHINING WIZARD on the ropes! But Anna distracts the ref so Saraya can keep Skye stuck, and Ruby ROUNDHOUSES Skye down!
Fans boo but Saraya howls to the moon. Saraya stomps Skye, insults her, and whips her to the corner as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Saraya bumps Skye off buckles, lets off to distract the ref, and Ruby digs her boot in! Anna pulls Skye’s hair to help out, then Saraya storms up to bump Skye off buckles. Tag to Ruby, she stomps away on Skye, but lets off as the ref counts. Saraya tells fans to shut up while Ruby drags Skye around. Skye throws body shots, then JAWBREAKERS! Ruby staggers back, Saraya tags in, and the Outcasts mug Skye! Saraya has Skye in the ropes to throw knee after knee! The ref counts, Saraya lets off, and she pushes Skye back in. Saraya keeps Skye from her corner, taunting Shida and Kris, then she stomps Skye.
Saraya bumps Skye off buckles, tags Anna and Anna CHOKES Skye! The ref counts, Anna lets off, and then Anna CHOKES Skye on ropes! The ref counts again, Anna lets off and distracts the ref so Saraya can SLAP Skye. Anna bumps Skye off buckles, Ruby tags in, and Anna ROCKS Skye. Ruby CHOPS Skye, stalks her to a corner, and stands her up, but Skye avoids the chop to CHOP! And CHOP! And CHOP! Skye and Ruby sputter and drop to their knees while Rampage goes to break.
Rampage returns and hot tag to Kris! She BLASTS Ruby, drags Saraya up and FISHERMAN BUSTERS! Cover, but Anna kicks it apart! Anna drags Saraya back and tags herself in. Anna stands Kris up, wrenches and HOOK KICKS! Then Saraya KNEES Kris down! Cover, TWO! Anna drags Kris up, QUEENSLAYER SLEEPER! But Kris powers up to back suplex free! Ruby runs in, STO! Skye SUPERKICKS Ruby! Saraya YAKUZA KICKS Skye! Shida ROCKS Saraya, whips her but Saraya reverses, only for Shida to JUMP KNEE! Anna BOOTS Shida! Kris runs up, but into a COMPLETE SHOT! Anna tags Ruby and they get Kris up.
Anna HOOK KICKS, then Ruby SUPERKICKS but Kris pulls Anna into it! Ruby panics, Kris tags Skye and Electric Chair Lifts Ruby! SLAM and CODE BLUE!! Cover, Skye’s team wins!
Winners: Hikaru Shida, Skye Blue & Kris Statlander, by pinfall
The dysfunction wasn’t enough to bring down Skye and Kris, they made it work and now celebrate together! As for Anna, she is furious with Ruby, and Saraya pulls Ruby along like an angry mother with her daughter. Are the Outcasts going to be on the outs sooner rather than later?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
Firstly, the Continental Classic continues, and the Gold League’s third round has been set: Jon Moxley VS Rush; Jay White VS Jay Lethal; and Swerve Strickland VS Mark Briscoe! Will El Toro Blanco be the one to serve The Maniac that first L in the tournament? Will Lethal and Briscoe finally get on the board?
And after being the one to score the pinfall in tonight’s Six Woman Tag, Skye Blue gets her shot at “Timeless” Toni Storm and the AEW Women’s World Championship! Will Skye finally make it through the Storm to grab the gold on the other side?
Six Man Tag: Penta El Zero Miedo, El Hijo Del Vikingo & Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes VS Brian Cage & The Workhorsemen w/ Prince Nana!
While the AEW World Trios Champions, Billy Gunn & The Acclaimed, are down and out, trios are forming and fighting their way up. Alex Abrahantes’ league of luchadores want their shot, but will they make it through a Rampage? Or will The Mogul Embassy learn that having #CeroMiedo is priceless?
The trios sort out, and Cage starts against Komander. Cage kicks Komander low right at the bell, then whips him to ropes.

JD swings, Vikingo ducks ‘n’ dodges but JD CHOPS Vikingo down after all!
JD then powers Vikingo to ropes to BIEL him across the way! JD taunts Penta, whips Vikingo, but Vikingo ducks ‘n’ dodges again to CORKCCREW RANA!

The implosion of Nana’s team all over a misunderstanding gives Penta’s team their first victory together! Will Penta, Komander y Vikingo take this momentum to next beat Action Andretti & Top Flight?
My Thoughts:
A really good Rampage here with a lot of tag team action. There must be something in Cassidy’s contract about opening shows, though, because that 8 Man Tag certainly felt main event worthy. But then it made sense in story that it had to go first so that the X-JAS could be in action before Anna, and Anna would tell Parker to stay in the back during her match because of how Ruby would be involved. Great win for Cassidy’s team, and great win for the Faces in the Women’s Trios match. Rather surprised Skye is getting her shot at Storm so soon. Yes, she interrupted Storm’s acceptance speech moment, and won here, but why not give us a promo segment between them first, then the match on Winter is Coming. But at the same time, debut in Montreal, they want it to be important.
Of course Don Callis Family squashes jobbers, but I like that we got to see Hobbs, Konosuke and Fletcher all in red ring gear. And seeing Don Callis’ Last Supper parody, it makes me think he wants a total of 11 faction members. I say 11 because “Judas” is already accounted for in Jericho. So far, he has five, Callis really is gonna have to recruit tag teams and/or trios if he wants an easier time of filling out the group. Really good main event from Penta’s team going against Cage & Workhorsemen. Of course the Faces win, but also it was clear the Workhorsemen were going to take the loss for the Heels. Kinda wished Cage would beat down the Workhorsemen after the loss, not because of the “misunderstanding” trope, but that’d probably take away from the Faces celebrating.
And given Rampage is prerecorded, turns out that was for the best this week. I’d only just heard today about how… controversial Ric Flair got in his part of the promo segment. Flair also tweeted about it, both apologizing and not apologizing for what he said. This is gonna be a long three months if everyone has to worry about Flair spouting off the stuff he got away with in the 1980s when he was much, MUCH younger. That aside, the entire segment was redundant anyway, we heard them talk on Dynamite, this is the same crowd that heard it all, it’s just a waste of time.
My Score: 8.5/10
