PROGRAMMING REMINDER for Rampage!

This Friday, Cinco de Mayo, Rampage will be on at a special time of 6:30 PM Eastern, 3:30 Pacific! Make sure to adjust your schedule or you might miss all the action!

Backstage interview with Darby Allin and “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry.

Renee Young is with two of the Four Pillars and says tonight, there are huge stakes on tonight’s main event. They’re going to be teaming together to take on MJF and Sammy Guevara. And if these two win, then Double or Nothing’s AEW World Championship match becomes a Four Pillars Fatal 4! Her question is, how are they feeling about teaming up tonight? JB says he and Darby may not like each other all that much, but they have some things in common. They’ve been here since day one, they’ve busted their asses to get to this moment, and neither man has main evented a PPV.

Tonight, they change all that. They are gonna main event Double or Nothing for the world title! Darby says, “This is it, Jack. This is it. I don’t care how we get there, we are walking into Double or Nothing number one contenders. And me or you are walking out with the gold. Cuz tonight, it’s showtime!” The Relentless One is ready, Jungle Boy is ready, are the Spanish God and Devil of AEW ready?

AEW cameras follow Adam Cole as he’s being escorted away.

Cole keeps shouting at Jericho, because Jericho is also following the horde of security guards ushering Cole out! Jericho shouts at Cole to get out of here, Cole is dangerous! Britt runs up to say, “What’re you doing? This is ridiculous!” She SLAPS Jericho! What’s he gonna do, huh!? Coward! Security now ushers Britt away as she insults “Bitch Jericho!”

The Blackpool Combat Club speaks.

Bryan Danielson talks about Bret Hart saying he was one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time. His catchphrase even was, “The Best There Is, The Best There Was, and The Best There Ever Will Be.” Bryan always thought, “How egotistical.” Did Bret really think that there would be no one in the future better than him? Because guess what? Bryan IS better than that legend ever was! Bryan is better than ANY wrestler that came before him! Bryan is THE best wrestler in the world today! And if he’s not, then it’s certainly one of these men in the BCC.

But one thing Bryan knows as 100% fact: “There will be wrestlers in the future better than me, because of what we’ve built.” In fact, Bryan hopes “this little sh*thead” Wheeler Yuta becomes greater than Bryan ever was! And that is the difference between the BCC and The Elite. The BCC want to push people. They want there to be people better than them. They want AEW to be the best wrestling company there ever has been! And they are willing to do anything to make that happen.

Jon Moxley leans forward to say, “We are just blades searching for pieces of iron to sharpen each other. The Elite, you should be thanking us for sharpening you as we sharpen each other. You don’t like the way we do things? You call us bullies? No, we ain’t bullies. Higher levels, bigger devils. There was a time when the Elite was innovative, when they were on the precipice, the cutting edge of professional wrestling. Now? I don’t know. Next week, in a steel cage, Moxley, Omega. Mox and Omega, that just hits different, doesn’t it? Yeah. Yeah, it does. 2019, 2020, may as well have been a decade ago.

“Every day, we get better. Every day, we get more dangerous. I got a whole lotta new tools and a whole lotta weapons, and a whole new version of Jon Moxley that I just cannot wait to show you, Kenny. We’re gonna found out what 2023 Kenny Omega is really all about next Wednesday in Detroit in the steel cage. And I promise you this: We are going to leave one hell of a mark.” The Maniac is ready to bloody the Best Bout Machine, but who will walk out of Motor City the IWGP United States Champion?

Saraya w/ The Outcasts VS Willow Nightingale!

The Revolution, the Runaway and the Lightning have drawn a line in the sand between them and all those AEW made famous. Will Dynamite be Saraya’s house on the road to Double or Nothing? Or will #TheBabeWithThePower put that power on full display?

The bell rings and Saraya bails right out. Fans boo but Saraya shouts at them to shut up, she’s not ready! Willow rushes out after Saraya and she goes running, so Storm & Soho stand in Willow’s way. Willow says fine, and she backs up. Saraya is in the ring, Willow gets on the apron and Saraya BOOTS her down! Saraya CLUBS away on Willow then hops on for a SLEEPER! But Willow THROWS her off! And runs her over! Willow flexes and fans fire up! Willow climbs the corner, and she warns Storm & Soho, but Saraya goes after her. Willow kicks Saraya away, then MISSILE DROPKICKS! Cover, TWO!

Willow frowns but fans rally behind her. Saraya shouts, “OW!” Willow whips her to a corner, runs in and CHOPS! Willow whips Saraya corner to corner, runs in, and clotheslines! Willow then CHOPS Saraya, whips her corner to corner again, but Soho distracts the ref! Storm grabs Willow’s feet! Willow grabs Storm’s hair buns! But Saraya goes to the apron to run in and BOOT Willow! Fans boo while Saraya fires off knees with Willow in the ropes. Saraya then TOSSES Willow out! The ref reprimands Saraya, but Storm and Soho beat up on Willow! Fans boo but the Outcasts get away with that as Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Saraya goes out after Willow, stomps her down, then drags her up. Willow throws hands but Saraya CLUBS Willow down! Saraya chinlocks Willow and thrashes her around while talking trash. Saraya CLUBS Willow down, then RAMS her into railing! Saraya smiles, the ref reprimands her, but Storm and Soho get more cheap shots in! Saraya takes her time getting into the ring to keep the ref distracted, and that allows Storm to get one more cheap shot in. Willow crawls into the ring, Saraya bumps her off buckles and stomps her down! The ref counts as Saraya digs her boot in, but Saraya lets off with more stomps.

Saraya soaks up the heat, goes back to Willow, but Willow throws body shots. Saraya stomps her down! Saraya drags Willow up but Willow throws more body shots. Saraya CLUBS Willow, puts her in the corner, and fires off hands! The ref counts, Saraya stomps, and then Saraya lets off to distracts the ref. Soho CHOKES Willow! Soho gets away with that one and Saraya goes back to Willow. Saraya whips but Willow blocks! And again! Willow shakes her head as Saraya keeps trying, and then Willow ROCKS Saraya! And CHOPS! And ROCKS! And CHOPS! Saraya ends up in the other corner and Willow fires up!

Willow goes corner to corner to back body block! And clothesline! And snapmare, to a BOOT! Saraya staggers to ropes, Willow whips her and hits a SPINEBUSTER! High stack as Dynamite returns to single picture, TWO! Saraya is still in this but Willow keeps on her. Willow fireman’s carries but Saraya fights free. Saraya trips Willow, steps through, but Willow cradles! TWO!! Saraya ROCKS Willow, hooks the leg, KNIGHT CAP! Cover, TWO!! Willow survives and shocks the Outcasts! Saraya isn’t sure what to do now, but the fans rally for Willow! Saraya kicks Willow, brings her up, but Willow throws hands!

Willow fireman’s carries, runs around, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! But Storms distracts during the cover! Soho gets on the apron to talk trash to Willow, but Willow TOSSES her into the ring! Willow runs to POUNCE Soho!! Then she DECKS Storm! But Saraya is there to kicks low, reel Willow in, GOOD KNIGHT DDT!! Cover, Saraya wins!

Winner: Saraya, by pinfall

And the Outcasts beat up on Willow for making Saraya work so much! Fans boo and the ref reprimands but here comes HIKARU SHIDA! The Full Metal Warrior finally returns, furious that she was used by the Outcasts! She has her kendo stick, but then she stops, to HUG Saraya?!? She’s an OUTCAST!? Fans boo but she gets the spray paint! Saraya and the others hold Willow up, and Shida shakes it up. But then Britt and Hayter appear! Shida grins again, she swerved the Outcasts! Hayter & Britt CLOBBER Storm & Soho, and Shida sprays Saraya IN THE FACE! Then SMACKS her with a kendo stick!

And then Soho gets a SMACK! Storm gets a SMACK! All the Outcasts get a SMACK! Fans fire up as Hayter gives Shida the spray paint back, and Shida sprays “A E W” on the Outcasts! The Pillar & The Killer have a Warrior on their side, will they show Saraya, Storm & Soho who the real losers are?

The House of Black speaks.

Malakai says, “These titles… Take them. They serve as a reminder that in this company, there are those that get away with murder, and there are those that are punished for following the rules.” Julia Hart says, “We will not let tradition fade and call it ‘talent.'” Buddy Matthews says, “Change starts when people act. That being said, welcome to the open house.” Brody King says, “No shortcuts. No escapes. No mercy. Any three competitors teaming up will have a shot at our titles.”

However, there’s a catch. Under house rules, the following applies: 20 second counts. You will not be safe on the outside, there will be no running away when it gets hard. They will force you to be harder. No ropebreaks, because the true nature of man is measured in the ability to withstand pain. There is NO easy way out, you fight or submit. Disqualifications will be enforced. And dealer’s choice. You decide what the rules are, but why? Because it’s fair, and balance is all we have. Come one, come all. Because the House always wins. “Welcome to the Open House.” The House of Black issues their own stipulations, who will be daring enough to accept the terms?

Tres de Mayo Trios Battle Royal!

Well, speaking of the Trios titles, many great trios have assembled, including some new ones! The AAA Mega Champion, El Hijo del Vikingo, teams with the ROH World Tag Team Champions, The Lucha Brothers, in an attempt to become triple double champions! Will they succeed? Or will another trio stand tall at the end to enter the Open House?

AEW is picture in picture as the rest of the teams make their entrances. The Varsity Athletes, The Dark Order, The Superbad Squad, and then Dynamite returns to single picture as “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs and QTV make their entrance. Then it’s The Acclaimed with Billy Gunn! And of course, Platinum Max has a diss track! “The Acclaimed taking all o’ the attention. We blowin’ up like a drone at the Kremlin! QTV, you need to move along. I heard that the Q in QT means ‘QAnon!’ We beat The Dark Order back when. It’s a year later, y’all still ain’t got a Black friend. We ’bout to win in easy fashion, Acclaimed draws more money than Lamar Jackson!”

Anthony Bowens gets the mic to say, “BALTIMOOOOORE~! The Acclaimed have arrived! SCISSOR ME-” OH NO, QTV attacks! The bell rings and the brawl is on as Billy is after Solo and Bowens ROCKS QT himself! Caster throws hands with Hobbs, everyone else gets in the ring and now everyone brawls! Blade is after Fenix, Penta is after John Silver, Solo ROCKS Billy then laughs as he applies his mouth spray. QT CLUBS Bowens but Bowens ELBOWS QT! Penta steps up to say, “CERO! MIEDO!” Bowens SCISSORS IT! But Woods CLOBBERS Bowens and Nese DECKS Penta! QT stomps and clubs Fenix and works with Nese.

Uno is after Daivari, Caster throws hands with Vikingo. Bowens lifts Woods, Caster lifts Silver, Uno TOSSES and ELIMINATES Daivari! One Varsity Athlete down, but then Solo dumps Uno out! Uno holds on and is safe on the apron but QT joins in. They mug Uno, double BOOT, and they ELIMINATE Uno! Fenix stomps Bowens, goes up the corner, coordinates with Penta, but Woods saves Nese from the piledriver! Woods RAMS Penta into ropes but Penta fights him off. Vikingo helps out, but Solo UPPERCUTS Fenix! Penta puts Nese on the apron, Fenix TIGHTROPE PENALTY KICKS Nese and ELIMINATES him!

QT BLASTS Reynolds and ELIMINATES him! The Dark Order is just down to Silver already!

But Alex Abrahantes distracts QTV, and the Lucha Brothers DUMP them both out to ELIMINATE them both! Harley is freaking out, and Hobbs is pissed! Hobbs runs in but the Lucha Brothers dodge to kick, KICK and UNO! DOS! TRES! DOUBLE SUPERKICK!! Hobbs wobbles, but he just gets mad! The straps come down, the Lucha Brothers run, but QTV trip them up! Hobbs runs to CLOBBER Penta up and out, then he CLOBBERS Fenix up and out! Hobbs ELIMINATES The Lucha Brothers! Fans boo but Vikingo SOBATS! SUPERKICKS! SCREW HIGH KICKS! Vikingo runs, dodges Hobbs, then DIVES onto QTV!

Hobbs runs in, the Acclaimed dodge and dump him out! The Acclaimed ELIMINATE Hobbs & QTV! Fans fire up as now we just have The Acclaimed & Daddy Ass, the entire Superbad Squad, and Johnny Hungy!

The Acclaimed regroup, fans sing “OH~ Scissor Me, Daddy~!” The Superbad Squad realize what’s going on, and Butcher CLOBBERS Caster right out of the ring! Butcher ELIMINATES Caster before he could scissor finger Bowens! Fans boo but then Blade CLOBBERS Bowens, FISHERMAN SCREW! Penelope Ford likes what she sees as Sabian claws Billy’s eyes! Butcher & Blade mockingly scissor finger! Blade ROCKS Silver, Butcher stomps Bowens, and Kip HEADBUTTS Billy. Kip stomps away, but then Silver rallies on Blade with forearms and CHOPS! Bowens holds on to fight off Butcher!

The brawl is on! Kip lets Butcher & Blade throw hands on Bowens & Billy!

The Five Tool Player and Ass Man pull it off, and now the Acclaimed are going after the House of Black! Will they be ready for those Open House Rules?

Backstage interview with Sammy Guevara.

Renee is with another of the Young Pillars and says that in order for Sammy to cash that hefty sum MJF promised him, he has to lay down for MJF in the main event of Double or Nothing. But that means the two of them will need to work together tonight to make sure the main event stays 1v1, not a Fatal 4. We did see what happened last week, so how is he feeling? But before Sammy can respond, MJF walks in all excited! Sammy has MJF stop, because duh, Sammy watched the show back. There was NO ONE in that car, MJF just plain ditched Sammy. Friends don’t leave friends.

MJF fakes being emotional as he says he should’ve be honest with Sammy, and now he feels really bad. So for over a year now, MJF has had severe, chronic back pain from carrying this company, and last week, he had a huge flare up. If he didn’t lie down in the back seat of that car, MJF knew it wasn’t going to go away. He should’ve been honest with Sammy, but then Sammy would’ve thought MJF was a wimp and he wouldn’t wanna be MJF’s friend anymore and… But Sammy is right. MJF is a horrible friend and Sammy deserves better. MJF turns to leave but Sammy stops him. Sammy kisses MJF on the forehead and apologizes for ever doubting him.

MJF says he’s been emotionally drained, can they talk to the people about the main event? Of course. Thank you. Sammy tells the marks are gonna be in the mud, cuz the main event of DON will be MJF VS Sammy Guevara! That’s right! Sammy’s gonna lay down for MJF like a little b- uh, best friend! Seriously, Max? What? Anyway, MJF was thinking they should do a theme song mash-up for their entrance tonight. Really? Awesome, thanks! FRIEND HUG! MJF is so glad they got through that. But is the drama going to crank up in tonight’s main event?

Kenny Omega speaks.

The Cleaner stands with Don Callis as he thinks on, “Jon Moxley, Kenny Omega. Jon Moxley, Kenny Omega. You tell me you’re so excited to show me this brand new version of yourself, like something has changed and you have this big, grandiose plan to reveal to the whole world. Iron sharpens iron.” Callis says hold on, Moxley has a plan? That’s a new one. Look at this scar, Jon. Every day, Callis gets out of bed and has to be reminded of what Moxley did to him. Suspected skull fracture, 23 stitches. Every day, Calils thinks about Moxley. And every day, Callis remembers that Moxley perhaps has the heaviest hands in professional wrestling.

“But in a battle of wills between those heavy hands and this brains and that talent, you lose every time. But you’re blind to it, because you are a sick, twisted narcissistic sociopath, and you’re gonna find out in Detroit that it’s all going to come to an end when you take on the God of Pro-Wrestling.” Kenny says Moxley knows that between those ropes, there’s no plan that allows Moxley to touch him. And when you surround that ring with a cage, sure, Moxley can fight. But Kenny knows better than anyone. Yeah, Moxley might make Omega bleed. Moxley might get all hot and bothered and make himself bleed.

But in the end, everything comes to an end in Detroit. Moxley won’t be the one left standing. This effort by the BCC will be fruitless. What they did to Omega, what they did to the Bucks, what they did to Konosuke Takeshita, and what they did to Callis only made this personal. And it ends next week. Goodbye, and good night. Just how violent will this get between two of the best in the world?

Wardlow w/ Arn Anderson VS Logan LaRoux!

The Maestro of Mayhem keeps on fighting, even now as TNT Champion. Will Wardlow look to send a message to Christian Cage & Luchasaurus?

The bell rings, Wardlow circles with Logan, and they tie up. Wardlow then choke grips and trophy lifts, for a POWERSLAM! Fans rally behind Wardlow as Logan staggers up. Wardlow shouts out Arn with the Glock and wind-up LARIAT! Wardlow conducts the choir and he brings Logan up, POWERBOMB! And then another POWERBOMB! The symphony is already starting and Wardlow fires up! A THIRD POWERBOMB! Cover, Wardlow wins!

Winner: Wardlow, by pinfall

LaRoux will rue the day he got picked for this match. But Wardlow gets the mic to say, “Turn that off, I ain’t done yet!” The  music stops and Wardlow says he could do this all day. Wardlow hasn’t even broken a sweat, and he knows there’s a guy back there looking to jump the line but doesn’t have the balls to get in the ring. So CHRISTIAN, Wardlow demands a TNT Open Challenge! Bring the monster out here so they can do this here and now in Baltimore! Fans fire up and here comes Captain Charisma! Christian leads the way for his Right Hand of Destruction, and he has a mic of his own.

“Now, Baltimore, it’s pretty obvious you’re ignorant, you’re trash, so keep it down while I conduct some business.” Fans boo but Christian tells Wardlow that he could send Luchasaurus down there and he could take that TNT title, if he wanted it to happen right now. But that’s not gonna happen, especially not in Baltimore! Fans boo more, but Christian says “Because you see, smart guy, the title shot doesn’t belong to him.” Fans chant “YOU SUCK!” but Christian says the title shot belongs to CHRISTIAN! Wardlow is surprised by that, but how does Luchasaurus feel about that? When and where will Captain Charisma choose to go after the gold?

Team Triple J visits Mark Briscoe in Sandy Fork, Delaware.

But is this the right place? Yeah, of course. Knock knock. Mark opens the door and is surprised to see them all! What a cute baby girl he’s got in his arms. This is a boy! Oops, sorry! And sorry for the misunderstanding these last couple of weeks. They felt what better way to make it up to Mark than to lend a hand on his farm? Really? They wanna help? Yeah! That’s why they’re here! Well let’s get to work! Mark hands off Baby Briscoe to Satnam, and then leads the way.

Montage of farm work. The only one not really dressed for the occasion is Jay Lethal in his blazer. But wait, this is the third trailer they’re hauling already! And it’s already full! Mark says it ain’t full enough! They keep on working, and then take a break. Lethal wants Jarrett to play one more song for lil’ Murph, he loves ’em! Okay, okay. Let’s finish with this one. It is Jarrett’s number one hit, surely you’ve heard it: With My Baby Tonight! But wait, who is that walking up? PAPA Briscoe?! Mark says, “Wassup, big man?”

Papa walks up the stairs and Triple J move aside. Is everything good? Papa tells “Chicken,” that while he’s known Lethal a long time and he’s a good guy, “keep your eyes on the rest o’ these clowns! Especially the idiot down there in the coveralls!” Which one? Both!

Back to work! Sonjay says Mark’s got a big match on Rampage so he can continue his winning ways. And speaking of, Lethal beat Cash, Jarrett beat Dax, they can make it official! Triple J is challenging FTR for the AEW World Tag Team Championships at Double Or Nothing! Oh, hey, speaking of, Mark & Jay beat FTR, how’d they do it? Is that what this is all about? Uh, let’s go fishing and talk. Will Mark give Lethal & Jarrett some tips on how to take down Cash & Dax?

Ricky Starks VS Juice Robinson!

It was almost over when #AbsolutePerfect10n took down Bullet Club Gold last week. But in the end, The Booster wants one last shot on Starks 1v1. Will Rock Hard make Dynamite just too sweet? Or will Starks make sure this is the absolute end of this?

Juice goes out after Starks, reels him in, but Starks back drops free! Juice hits the floor and writhes his way to railing. Starks storms up and BOOTS Juice! Juice tries to get away into the crowd but Starks brings him around to ROCK Juice! Starks whips, Juice reverses and Starks hits steel steps! Juice refreshes the ring count, brings Starks up, and he scoops to SLAM on the floor! Juice then moves the steel steps around and brings Starks over.

Juice pushes Starks down to SENTON! Cover, TWO! Juice argues with the ref but the count was fair. Juice huffs and puffs but that allows Starks to get to ropes. Dynamite returns as Starks drags himself up, and fans duel, “Let’s Go, Ricky!” “Let’s Go, Juice!” Juice JABS! And JABS! And JABS! Juice JABS again and again and again, but Starks dodges the left hand to run and CLOBBER Juice! Fans fire up while both men are down! Starks grits his teeth and fans rally up as he stands. Juice goes to a corner, runs at Starks, but into a back drop! Starks smacks the buckle pad to fire up, and he runs in to BACK ELBOW!

Winner: Ricky Starks, by pinfall

But Jay White slides in to CLOBBER Starks! The Switchblade doesn’t let Starks celebrate his victory as he beats Starks down! Shawn Spears isn’t in town, either, so no one can help Starks! White drags Starks up, BLADE- NO, Starks slips free to get White up! But Juice makes the save! Bullet Club Gold bails out and retreats, and this isn’t over yet! White says “We don’t deal in almosts, Mr. Starks! We deal in absolutes!” Then when and where will King Switch give Starks “his moment?”

Darby and Jack finish preparing.

Darby gets his jacket and Jack says Double or Nothing, here we go! Let’s do this! They shove each other to fire themselves up, and Darby heads out first. But then MJF slips into the room and closes the door! MJF yells JB that he isn’t here to fight. He said a long time ago that if JB cut the goody two shoes routine, he could be at the top of this sport. MJF still thinks he and JB can run AEW. “For crying out loud, look what I’ve done for Sammy. He has never had more money, never had more fame, never had more airtime, never been more over. And you’re twice the wrestler he is. Just think what I could do for you and your career.

“All you gotta do tonight, is betray a man in Darby Allin, who you don’t even like. I know what you’re thinking. ‘Max, why would I cost myself a shot at the AEW World title in the main event of Double or Nothing?’ And the answer is simple: I love you like a brother, bud. You’re not world champion material, and there’s nothing wrong with that. But what I’m offering you is a spot next to the throne.” MJF puts his hand on JB’s shoulder, but JB shoves it right away. JB says he isn’t looking for a spot next to the throne. He’s looking for the crown! And at DON, JB gets the title, without being a piece of trash like MJF!

Darby returns, he sees MJF, and MJF says he doesn’t want any trouble. He was just talking with JB. MJF leaves and Darby asks what that was about. JB says there’s nothing to worry about. They’ve got this. JB offers a fist bump, but Darby says no, he’s got this. Did MJF’s plan of tearing these two apart work out after all? Or will it all sort itself out in the ring?

Four Pillars Tag Match: MJF & Sammy Guevara VS Darby Allin & “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry!

While this isn’t a tag title match, the stakes have never been higher for a 2v2 showdown! Will the Devil of AEW be able to pull off his original sin of buying the Spanish God’s soul? Or will his odds drastically go down in Las Vegas?

The teams sort out and Sammy plays rock-paper-scissor with MJF to decide. Rock breaks scissors, MJF wins, but then decides Sammy can start. JB steps up, the two tie up, and they go around. Fans rally, Sammy headlocks, but JB powers out. Sammy runs JB over then flexes. Fans boo, things speed up, Sammy handsprings but JB wrenches and CHOPS! JB knuckle locks goes up and arm-drags and DROPKICKS! Fans fire up as JB kips up, and Sammy scrambles away to MJF! Fans boo as MJF tells JB to back off. MJF tags in, and so does Darby. Fans fire up as these two circle and tie up.

MJF hits a headlock takeover, Darby kips free. Another headlock takeover, Darby kips free! Darby avoids the third attempt, and then he Oklahoma Rolls MJF! TWO! Darby whips, MJF reverses but Darby springboards to flying arm-drag! Fans fire up as Darby hits the headlock takeover and covers, TWO!! MJF scrambles away to Sammy now! Fans laugh and Sammy tells Darby to back off. Darby dares someone to come back, but Sammy and MJF hop away from the corner to talk strategy. The ref wants someone to get in, MJF returns, but then he and Sammy dare JB to get in. Darby tags JB and fans rally up again.

JB and MJF tie up, but then MJF claims there’s hair pulling! Sammy says there definitely was, but the ref can tell that is a lie. The two tie up again, MJF claims more hair pulling, then he pulls JB’s hair! The ref reprimands, Sammy holds JB and MJF winds up. But JB slips away and MJF avoids punching Sammy! JB runs in, MJF dodges and JB BLASTS Sammy! MJF swings, misses, and JB CHOPS him off his feet! JB puts MJF on ropes, tags Darby, and they double whip MJF to double ELBOW! Darby covers, TWO! Darby drags MJF up, headlocks and grinds, but MJF powers up and out. Sammy gets a cheap shot in!

The ref was busy with MJF so he missed that. Sammy taunts Darby, Darby takes a swing, but then MJF CLOBBERS Darby! MJF digs his boots in at the ropes, the ref counts, and MJF lets off so that he and Sammy can soak up the heat. Tag to Sammy, he drags Darby up and snapmares into a chinlock. Darby endures, MJF claims JB is getting in so the ref looks that way. JB and the ref argue, MJF throws Sammy one of the Burberry scarfs and Sammy uses it to CHOKE Darby! Fans boo and JB protests the real cheating, but Sammy throws the scarf away! Sammy chinlocks and thrashes Darby around and MJF again says JB is up to something!

Fans boo and JB again argues with the ref as MJF throws the scarf back! Sammy CHOKES Darby again! Sammy is slower to hide the evidence this time and almost gets caught Burberry handed! Sammy claims JB is up to something, then covers Darby, ONE! Fans chant “LAME SCARF! LAME SCARF!” JB storms over to MJF’s corner from the outside but the ref stops him. This only helps Sammy get the scarf back and CHOKE Darby! MJF taunts JB, but Darby arm-drags free, to CHOKE SAMMY!! Fans fire up, MJF panics, and MJF gets in! Darby gets around to CHOKE MJF! Fans fire up more!

THROWBACK STUNNER! MJF flops out of the ring, JB hurries to his corner! Fans rally up, Darby crawls to his corner, but MJF trips JB! And RAMS him into railing! MJF scowls and soaks up the heat while JB writhes, and Dynamite goes to picture in picture.

MJF holds up his title to remind us he is champion, and Sammy digs his boots in on Darby! The ref counts, Sammy lets off, and he brings Darby up. Sammy has a facelock, he CLUBS away on Darby, then talks trash to the fans. Sammy puts Darby in the ropes to CHOKE! Then MJF gives Sammy a mic to talk more trash, not that the TV audience can hear it. Maybe it’s sports related since that’s the low hanging fruit. MJF gets the mic to also talk trash, and then MJF tags in.

Sammy bumps Darby off buckles, tags MJF in, and MJF soaks up the heat before he brings Darby up. MJF CHOKES Darby, the ref reprimands, and MJF lets off at 4. Then Sammy CHOKES Darby while MJF argues with the ref. Sammy lets Darby go and MJF dares Darby to crawl to JB. MJF stands on Darby’s head, then steps off to tell JB to “SUCK IT!” MJF covers, but the ref sees the choke hidden inside! MJF lets off to soak up more heat, and swivel his hips. Tag to Sammy, he drags Darby up, and he wraps Darby up in a COBRA TWIST! MJF grabs Sammy’s other hand to add to the pressure!

The ref looks but MJF lets go in time. MJF glares at the fans telling on him, but then he grabs Sammy’s hand again. The ref almost sees that! Dynamite returns to single picture as fans boo but MJF mocks them. MJF reaches out again, and he even uses the ropes! But the ref sees that and he KICKS MJF’s arm! MJF falls, Darby hip tosses Sammy down! Fans fire up as Darby crawls for his corner! MJF hurries in, but Darby BOOTS him away! Sammy drags Darby back, but Darby BOOTS him away! BOTH MJF and Sammy get the legs, but then Darby ducks the double clothesline! Hot tag to JB, and he springboards to DOUBLE CROSSBODY!

Fans are thunderous as JB rallies on Sammy and MJF with clotheslines! MJF kicks low, he and Sammy double whip, but JB hits DOUBLE COMEBACKERS! MJF bails out, as does Sammy. JB DIVES onto MJF! Then JB DIVES onto Sammy! JB keeps going, and he DIVES on MJF again! And then he DIVES on Sammy again! JB just keeps going! And he FLIES to wipe MJF out! JB gets back in, he pounds the mat and fans rally, as JB… has to stop as Sammy moves. But Darby DIVES onto Sammy! Darby puts Sammy in for JB and he underhooks for a TIGER DRIVER!! Cover, TWO!! Sammy barely survives that one!

JB drags Sammy over to a drop zone and fans fire up as he climbs. But MJF anchors JB’s foot! JB CLUBS MJF but Sammy springs up, SUPER SPANISH FLY!! Cover, TWO!! JB survives and Sammy is shocked! MJF tags in and he rains down fists on JB! Fans boo, MJF yells at them, and MJF tags Sammy back in. JB is in the drop zone, Sammy goes up and MJF helps, ROCKET LAUNCHER SWANTON FLOPS as JB moves! MJF hurries to get JB but JB ENZIGURIS! Hot tag to Darby! Darby runs in but MJF avoids the Coffin Splash! But Darby BOOTS MJF away! Darby jumps over MJF to fire off on Sammy!

JB then drags MJF back into the SNARE TRAP!!! MJF endures, fans fire up, but Sammy returns to DOUBLE STOMP! Sammy TOSSES JB out, then he and MJF rally the fans. Fans boo, both men build speed, but duh, only Sammy FLIES! Direct hit on both JB and Darby! MJF waits as Sammy puts JB in the ring for him. MJF hammerlocks and lifts, BRAINBUSTER!! Cover, TWO!!!

Fans are thunderous and MJF is beside himself as JB survives! Sammy says it’s okay, they’ve got this. MJF scowls, he drags JB over and he tags Sammy in. Sammy climbs up, takes aim, and MJF tags back in before the SWANTON BOMB! MJF covers, which confuses Sammy, TWO!! Sammy asks what the heck, he was gonna get that. MJF says this is all to win, it’s okay. MJF drags JB up, reels him in, but Sammy tags in before the POWER BREAKER! MJF is confused now but turnabout is fair play. Cover, TWO!! JB is still in this, and now the alpha males argue about who is really trying to win and who is trying to put themselves over.

MJF SLAPS Sammy!! MJF says he’s paying Sammy so Sammy does what MJF says! Sammy SUPERKICKS MJF!! That was definitely not part of the plan! JB rolls Sammy, TWO! SUPERKICK!! JB runs, Darby tags in, BLINDSIDER! JB covers, but he didn’t know! Darby goes up, COFFIN DROP!! Cover, Darby & JB win!!

Winners: Darby Allin & “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry, by pinfall (join the AEW World Championship match as a Fatal 4 Way)

Darby grins but JB isn’t so happy. Darby jumped before JB was full out of the way! But in the end, they won, and MJF’s worst nightmare has become reality! Will MJF’s reign of terror come to an end one way or another?

My Thoughts:

An awesome Dynamite, which it feels like we’ve been a long time since we’ve had one. Great opening with the 8 Man Tag, and great teamwork from Cole, Strong, Cassidy & Bandido. I figured the Faces would win, but it was great for Cole to rush Jericho and clobber him right off commentary. Jericho is always hilarious when he’s angrily shouting about whoever he’s feuding with, and that was the same here. And it was also great for Britt to slap him in the parking lot and he can’t do anything about it.

For that matter, great stuff out of this Outcasts VS Homegrown story. Saraya of course beats Willow because Storm & Soho help, but what a great double swerve from Shida! At the very beginning of this story, I thought Shida should’ve gotten involved. And at a certain point, I thought Shida would’ve been an Outcast because technically, she established herself outside of AEW, but that was in Japan so I guess AEW thinks of her as more Homegrown. And we haven’t seen Heel Shida, so maybe she just prefers to be Face, and that means being on Britt’s side. This makes four for Homegrown if Willow joins in, and Outcasts just need someone else to join and that’s our Blood & Guts match.

Really good promo from the BCC, but how is it that in year four, AEW hasn’t figured out how to get things right with sound? I only knew Bryan was talking about Bret because he said the catchphrase! And then Kenny and Callis had a good counter to Moxley in their promo. That Steel Cage match is going to be awesome stuff, and is practically a teaser for a BCC VS Elite Blood & Guts. And after another squash match win for Wardlow, of course he calls out Christian & Luchasaurus. But quite the plot twist, Christian says he’s the one getting the TNT Championship when the last time we saw him, Jungle Boy literally buried him alive. Luchasaurus didn’t show too much on his “face,” but it felt like he wasn’t happy about that. Maybe the Right Hand of Destruction goes rogue before the end of this.

Hilarious vignette of Triple J visiting the Briscoe farm and Papa Briscoe telling Mark to be more careful around Jarrett, Sonjay and Satnam. Which is of course obvious but Mark is a very good guy, never likes to judge people, so it’s understandable that his dad wants him to be careful. The official challenge was issued, FTR VS Lethal & Jarrett will be good stuff at Double or Nothing, and given how this story is going, Mark definitely has to be the difference maker. And really good match from Starks VS Juice, and as has been the formula, Starks wins only to get jumped and that sets up another match.

Great promo from The House of Black, where they are now creating their own rules for the trios titles, which somehow feels fair. There should be something that makes the trios titles special compared to the other titles, and a 20 count for being outside the ring a la NJPW, but then no ropebreaks and disqualifications optional does that. The trios battle royal was a lot of fun, but I just had a feeling that The Acclaimed were going to win to skyrocket to the title scene. They are practically the exact opposite of The House in presentation and personality, yet stack up against them nicely in styles and builds. But in that first “Open House Rules” style match, I would think Malakai, Brody & Buddy retain.

And awesome stuff all night from the Four Young Pillars. Great promos, with Sammy & MJF being just so over the top about their “friendship,” while JB and Darby are much more tense in their partnership. The match was awesome stuff, too, and so of course the Faces win to force the Fatal 4 Way. Now, MJF is freaking out, but a Fatal 4 Way will also give him a lot of openings to just steal this win out from under all three challengers, and then move on to separate 1v1 feuds to make it through the Summer. And the way things are going, they have to be building JB up to dethrone MJF at like All Out to keep MJF from even making it through the year.

My Score: 8.9/10
