Six Man Tag: Blackpool Combat Club VS The Best Amigos!

As we all learned on Dynamite, The Elite challenged the BCC to Anarchy in the Arena for Double or Nothing! Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta are always up for a fight, will they make an example out of Bandido, Chuck Taylor & Trent Beretta?

The trios sort out, Bandido starts against Moxley and the fans are on Bandido’s side. Bandido and Moxley approach, Moxley kicks low then CLUBS Bandido down. Moxley fires off knees then stomps Bandido down. Moxley drags Bandido up, swings, but Bandido dodges to JAB! JAB! And JAB! But Moxley thumbs Bandido in the eye! Moxley CHOPS Bandido, whips him corner to corner, but Bandido goes up and over, rolls and DROPKICKS! Moxley staggers but Yuta tags in. Bandido tags Trent and Trent steps to the former friend and student. Yuta SPITS at Chuck, but Trent throws forearms with him!

Fans fire up as Trent ROCKS Yuta! Yuta rewinds, swings, spins Trent, OLYMPIC- NO, Trent arm-drags Yuta away! Trent then CLOBBERS Yuta! Yuta bails out, Trent tags Chuck, and Chuck brings Yuta up. Chuck RAMS Trent into railing, stomps away on him, but Claudio storms over. The ref has Claudio stay back, but this is enough for Yuta to CHOP BLOCK Chuck! Yuta puts Chuck in, KNEES him and tags in Claudio. The BCC mug Chuck, and Claudio suplexes to SLAM Chuck hard! Elbow drop, cover, TWO! Claudio brings Chuck over, tags Moxley, and the BCC mugs Chuck more. Moxley then cravats to neck wrench.

Yuta tags in, the BCC continue to mug Chuck. Yuta runs in but into a SEXY CHUCKIE KNEE! Fans fire up, Chuck tags Trent, Yuta tags Moxley! Trent CHOPS, and CHOPS and CHOPS! Moxley ROCKS Trent in return! Moxley runs, Trent gets around and GERMAN SUPLEXES! Moxley is right back up, but he runs into another GERMAN SUPLEX! Moxley tries a third time but gets a HALF ‘N’ HALF! Moxley staggers up but flops over, and fans fire up! Cluad8io runs in, Trent dodges and Bandido dumps Claudio out! Best Amigos coordinate, fans rally, and both Trent & Chuck build speed, TRIPLE AERIAL ATTACK!

Fans are thunderous as the BCC go down! The Best Amigos put Moxley in the ring, Trent climbs up, but Claudio pushes Moxley aside to UPPERCUT Trent out of the air! The BCC drag Trent to their corner, Moxley stomps away then tags in Claudio, and Claudio slingshot stomps! The BCC is in control as Rampage goes picture in picture. Well, they should but it’s mostly just a commercial for DC’s The Flash, and then we go to break.

Rampage returns and Claudio has Trent in a top wristlock. Trent fights up, throws body shots, but Claudio knees low! Claudio BOOTS Chuck, but Trent backslides! TWO, and Claudio has the wrist. Tag to Moxley, and he stomps Trent down. Moxley KICKS Trent to a corner, then KICKS him again! And again! Moxley bumps Trent off buckles then clotheslines! And whips corner to corner, but Trent dodges this time! TORNADO DDT! Fans fire up while both men are down!

Claudio escapes and fans rally up. Bandido brings Claudio up to CHOP, but Claudio ROCKS him back! Bandido CHOPS again, but Claudio ROCKS Bandido again! Bandido CHOPS! Claudio ROCKS, KNEES, and reels Bandido in. But Bandido suplexes Claudio!! Claudio slips out, Bandido BOOTS him! Yuta tags in, climbs up, leaps, but Bandido catches him! Chuck tags in, and Bandido pops Yuta up to a suplex and SLAM!

Best Friends get Yuta for SOLE FOOD HALF ‘N’ HALF! Austin is thunderous as the Best Amigos HUG! You GOT to give the people what they want! Chuck then gets Yuta up, STUFF PILEDRIVER! Cover, TWO!!

Winners: The Blackpool Combat Club, by pinfall

Bryan Danielson celebrates with his team, and they’re ready for Double or Nothing! Will they tear down The Elite to become the elite?

 

Kyle Fletcher speaks.

“Orange Cassidy, the reason I attacked you backstage is because you are going around, parading as the International Champion. You’re on what? 21 defenses now? Congratulations. But who is more international than me, Kyle Fletcher? Born and raised in Australia, made my name in the UK, came to Japan, came to the United States, currently a champion on two different continents. I am going to be the NEW AEW International Champion.” The Aussie Arrow is ready, and he takes Cassidy on for the title this Wednesday! Will Fletcher change things up before the Blackjack 21 Battle Royal?

 

AEW TBS Championship Open Challenge: Jade Cargill VS ???

Undefeated at 57-0, she is still the first champion of this title. She’s cleared out so many challenger already, who will be brave enough to step to #ThatBitch?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if Danni Bee can be the one!

The bell rings and Jade DECKS Danni! Jade taunts Danni, drags her up, scoops her and FALL AWAY SLAMS her! Then kips up! Fans cheer and Jade says this is too easy. Danni stands, and Jade BOOTS her down! Cover, Jade wins!

Winner: Jade Cargill, by pinfall (still AEW TBS Champion)

She didn’t even need her best moves for this one. But Mark Sterling has the mic to say, “Whoa, whoa, whoa, 58-0! Texas, is that the best you have to offer? We didn’t expect much, so we lined up some more talent in the back, ready to go! So bring ’em out!” Up next is Genesis, will this be the beginning of a new reign?

AEW TBS Championship Open Challenge: Jade Cargill VS Genesis!

The bell rings, Genesis fires off forearms, but Jade SHOVES her to a corner! Jade clotheslines her in the corner, ROCKS her against ropes, then whips her to ropes. Genesis hits ropes, staggers back, and Jade SPEARS her! And then chicken wings, JADED! Cover, Jade wins again!

Winner: Jade Cargill, by pinfall (still AEW TBS Champion)

At least Genesis can say it took Jade’s finisher to finish her. But Mark says why stop here? Hopefully everyone is thinking what he’s thinking: let’s go right to 60! Up next is- Wait. TAYA VALKYRIE is here?! Taya tells the other girl to step aside, but she says no, she wants her shot. So Taya DECKS her! There’s a shot! Jade is upset but Taya makes her way right to the ring! Taya says let’s go! Sterling says no, he’s arguing with the ref. Jade swings on Taya, Taya dodges and DECKS Leila Grey! Then she CLOBBERS Jade! The ref is still busy with Sterling, but Taya gets Jade up! ROAD TO VALHALLA!!

Sterling is freaking out, but the ref finally gets him to back off. Taya gets a mic to tell Jade, “Now who’s That Bitch? I’ll see you at Double or Nothing.” La Wera Loca is raising the stakes on Jade, will we see Jade go 59-1?

 

Six Man Tag: The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn VS The Varsity Athletes w/ Mark Sterling!

Moving right along since Mark Sterling’s still here, Max Caster, Anthony Bowens & Daddy Ass are building their trios momentum! And of course, Platinum Max has a diss track! “Everything is bigger in Texas, y’all. That’s kinda weird, since Josh Woods has some little ass balls. I beat Josh Woods up in Austin, y’all gonna have to work from home like you’re Tucker Carlson! The best trio in the game. In Texas, everybody loves The Acclaimed!” Bowens gets the mic to say, “AAAAUSTIIIN, TEXAAAAAS~! The Acclaimed have arrived! SCISSOR ME, DADDY ASS~!” And he does~! But will these three bankrupt Daivari Dinero’s all-star team?

The trios sort out and Caster starts against Woods. Woods rushes Caster at the bell but Caster drop toeholds. Caster then arm-drags Woods to an armlock, and he thrusts on the arm. Caster keeps on the armlock, Woods fights up but Caster wrenches to YANK the arm. Caster points to the corner, fans fire up, and Caster tags in Billy! Woods gets away but Billy steps to him. Woods pushes Billy, Billy pushes back. They tie up, Billy headlocks but Woods powers out. Billy runs Woods over! Woods scrambles away to tag in Daivari. Fans fire up for Billy but Daivari talks trash. Billy kicks Daivari low and says “SUCK IT!”

Daivari avoids the Famouser and Nese tags in now. Billy says it was that close. The Premier Athlete taunts Billy by flexing, and Billy counts the abs. But then Billy brings the shirt up, and fans fire up for the SUPER DAD BOD! But Nese JABS! Nese runs, but Billy scoops him, to a SIDEWALK SLAM! Cover, ONE!! Nese is hanging tough but Billy again says it was that close. Billy looms over Nese and Rampage actually goes picture in picture.

Billy brings Nese up, brings him over, and tags in Bowens. Billy scoop SLAMS Nese, then holds the legs open! Bowens goes up, SCISSOR ME TIMBERS! Fans are fired up as The Acclaimed all SCISSOR FINGER~! Bowens brings Nese up, CLUBS him down, then brings him up again. The fans sing “OH~ Scissor Me Daddy~!” Bowens CLUBS Nese, tags Caster, and the Acclaimed double suplex! Caster covers, TWO! Fans still rally and Caster brings Nese up. But Nese RAMS Caster into the corner! The Varsity Athletes all mug Caster! The ref counts, Woods tags in and he scoops Caster to SLAM him!

Woods mocks the scissors, then he drags Caster over. Tag to Daivari, he stomps Caster, and bumps him off buckles. Daivari CHOPS Caster, follows him along the ropes, and bumps him off buckles. Daivari stomps Caster, taunts Billy, then gets away to the corner. The ref keeps the order, and Daivari bumps Caster off buckles. Daivari RAMS into Caster again and again, then brings Caster around. Tag to Nese, and the Varsity Athletes mug Caster as Rampage goes to break.

Rampage returns and Woods DECKS Caster! Woods drags Caster away, suplexes, but Billy scraps with Daivari on the outside! Billy sends Daivari into railing while Caster slips free. Caster and Woods DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE! Both men are down, they crawl, hot tags to Nese and Bowens! The Five Tool Player rallies on Nese and Woods with forearms and CHOPS! ROLLING ELBOW for Woods! Fans fire up but Nese kicks Bowens low. Nese whips, but Bowens hurdles and SUPERKICKS! KICKS! And runs to KOTARO KRUSHER! Cover, Woods breaks it! But Billy TOSSES Woods, then goes out after him!

Billy RAMS Woods into railing, just like Daivari! Nese fights Bowens’ clinch, rolls him and SOBATS! Nese goes to his corner, but he has no one! Nese runs back in, into the Five Tool Strike Fest! Tag to Caster, and then THE ARRIVAL, to the MIC DROP! Cover, The Acclaimed win!

Winners: The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn, by pinfall

Caster, Bowens & Daddy Ass are red hot in the Trios Division, but will they be able to bring down The House of Black?

 

PROGRAMMING REMINDER for next week!

It’s another Saturday Rampage next week, and it begins as soon as NBA coverage on TNT wraps up. Keep your eyes on TNT next week so you don’t miss any of the action!

 

It’s an all-new edition of QTV.

QT Marshall checks in with his team. Did anyone here back Matt Hardy? Aaron Solo says no, he’d never do that! He doesn’t wanna get DELETED! Sure… But that’s good news, as is this good news: QT signed them all up for the Double or Nothing International Championship battle royal! Harley is so fired up! Her PPV debut! Well, no, Harley, not you… (It’s a men’s title) But hey, the big news was on Wednesday! Finally, they are being recognized! The Monstar is front and center of AEW Collision! But wait. What does that mean for QTV? Well, Solo wasn’t on the poster, so…

But Harley says it is great! This is another chance for Hobbs to totally dominate! Yes, think of all the new people he can lay out! Miro! Buff Bagwell! The Blue Meanie! Tatanka! Guys, take this seriously. Because what matters is that on June 17th, the real story in the Book of Hobbs begins.

 

Tony Schiavone is in the ring.

He brings up that Double or Nothing is just a week from this Sunday, and one match that has been signed with a special stipulation involves these three, it’s the HARDY PARTY! Isiah Kassidy is with Matt & Jeff Hardy as they head down to the ring. Schiavone says they DELETED The Firm, and now at Double or Nothing, it is a special match close to Matt’s heart. Matt says yes, it is official, #HardyParty VS The Ass Boys & Ethan Page! And if the Hardy Party wins, Matt Hardy is in charge of Ethan Page’s contract! And that is poetic justice!

Jeff says, “Hell to the yeah, y’all. Austin city limits, music is the universal language that we all understand. And we are writing our song about becoming the AEW World Tag Team Champions!” Fans like the sound of that, but Ethan Page interrupts. He’s on stage and fans boo as Ethan says, “Yeah, I’d boo myself. I got my ass kicked by everybody in that ring, and I’m by myself. So please, just hear me out, guys. I asked the Gunns for help. I didn’t ask them to come make a match, or put my contract on the line, or to keep this going. Matt, me and you have been at this for way too long. I’m done. I’m done. Me and you, we’re finished.

“Jeff, I barely know you, we just met, and I already did not enjoy the experience of getting Swanton Bombed, so we’re done.” Ethan joins them all in the ring, and he wants Zay to tell the boys they can trust him. Isiah doesn’t trust Ethan. What? Why not? They’re even closer than the Hardy brothers! What happened when Quen got hurt, huh? Who answered the calls? Who replied to the texts? Who backed Kassidy and said those girls were cute? ETHAN! But hey, better yet, when Kassidy was moaning and everyone thought that was silly, who said that was marketable? Who went with Kassidy? Ugh~… ETHAN!

Ethan and Kassidy could’ve been a tag team! The Moan Event! And then the Hardys go and play him for a fool. Let’s hug this out. Kassidy shoves Ethan away. Then shake his hand like a man! Ethan makes Kassidy shake his hand and he won’t let go. But that’s so the Ass Boys- er, Gunns, can attack the Hardys from behind, with chairs! DOUBLE CHAIR SHOTS! Ethan has Kassidy caught, and he feeds Kassidy to a CHAIR SHOT! And then another! Fans boo, and Colten gives Ethan a chair so he can put it around Kassidy’s neck! The Gunns hold Kassidy down, Ethan goes up, and he STOMPS the chair!!

Kassidy coughs and sputters, and Ethan says he won’t ever moan again! Hell, he might not even wrestle ever again! But they’ll see Hardy Party at Double or Nothing! Will what’s left of The Firm get revenge on Matt & Jeff Hardy and keep them from ever being champions?

 

Chris Jericho speaks from commentary.

“Adam Cole, he’s a coward, exactly what I said he was. You didn’t see the Jericho Appreciation Society waiting to ambush Roderick Strong, and yet Adam Cole, supposed to be banned from the building, ends up 2-on-1 to beat The Ocho. Adam Cole is a coward, he is not a man of his word, and if he was here right now, I would beat his ass!” But Cole speaks from outside the building! If Jericho wants to fight, Cole’s right here! But since Jericho’s too much of a coward to let Cole into the building, Cole will explain something to him. “Every single week, I am going to make your life a living hell. Every single week, when you leave an arena, I am going to beat your ass. And trust me when I tell you, there is nothing you can do about it!”

Jericho says it’s funny Cole would bring that up. Because the legal counsel Jericho has that says Cole is banned from the building is now null and void. Jericho is challenging Cole for Double or Nothing, in an UNSANCTIONED MATCH! This legal agreement is now null, and Jericho tears it up. Cole is allowed in the building again. Wow. Did Jericho just rip that up? Thanks. That’s what Cole wanted. Because now Cole can step inside! Jericho realizes his mistake! Rampage goes to break, will Cole find Jericho before we get back?

 

Rampage returns as Cole heads down the bleachers!

Jericho says Cole better not come to the stage. The match is already made, there’s no reason to! But Cole isn’t stopping, and Jericho says at least it isn’t from behind. Cole rushes up the ramp, Jericho meets him and they brawl at the stage! Fans fire up, but security rushes out. Fans boo, and chant “Let Them Fight!” Jericho gets loose and he runs down the ramp to hit Cole again! They end up by the ring, the security pulls them apart, and refs even help out. But now Cole breaks loose, runs up the ramp, and attacks Jericho on the stage! The security pulls them apart again and Cole says Jericho is finished! Will nothing stop Cole from doing anything he wants to The Wizard?

 

Mark Henry talks about the main event.

Tonight, Dustin Rhodes will take on Bishop Kaun of the Mogul Embassy. What happens when these two collide? It’s TIME for the main event!

Dustin Rhodes VS Bishop Kaun w/ Prince Nana!

The Natural is fighting on behalf of the Limitless One, while one third of the ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions is fighting on behalf of whose house? SWERVE’S HOUSE! But will Dustin remove the Bishop from the board in this ongoing chess game?

Kaun goes after Dustin the moment he’s in the ring! The bell rings, Kaun CLUBS away more, then he brings Dustin up to whip hard into the corner! Dustin bounces off buckles, staggers and stumbles to ropes, and Kaun CHOPS him! Kaun whips, Dustin CLOBBERS Kaun! Dustin then brings Kaun around to clothesline Kaun out of the ring! Fans fire up as Dustin goes out to UPPERCUT Kaun, then CHOP him against railing! Dustin SMACKS Kaun off railing, then brings him back around. But Kaun knees low and CHOPS! Dustin CHOPS back! Dustin puts Kaun in the ring, Kaun CLUBS Dustin and digs his knee in!

Kaun CHOKES Dustin on the ropes, the ref counts, and Kaun lets off. Kaun UPPERCUTS Dustin, scoops, but Dustin slips off to atomic drop! Dustin runs, but Nana trips him up! Fans boo and Dustin glares at Nana, but Kaun rushes in. Dustin dodges Kaun, CHOPS him and brings him around again. Dustin whips, Kaun reverses and Dustin hits the camera! Fans boo but Nana tells Dustin he’s a fool! Kaun goes out after Dustin, and Dustin is busted open from that camera shot! Kaun stomps Dustin down and Rampage goes picture in picture.

Kaun puts Dustin back in the ring, stomps him, then drags Dustin back up. Kaun turns Dustin for a NECKBREAKER! Dustin drags himself to ropes but Kaun is already there on the outside. Kaun wipes Dustin’s blood off on himself, then hits a DRAPING NECKBREAKER! The ref checks Dustin while Kaun leaves him behind. Kaun says to count him out, and the count begins. Kaun distracts the ref, and Nana stomps Dustin! Kaun goes back out to stand Dustin up, and CHOP him! Dustin rolls into the ring, Kaun follows, but Dustin throws hands! And elbows! And CHOPS! Dustin whips Kaun to a corner, runs in, but Kaun dodges!

Kaun comes back to CLOBBER Dustin! Kaun covers, TWO!! Dustin is still in this, even though he now has a crimson mask to go with his red face paint. Kaun argues with the ref but the count was the count. Kaun sits Dustin up, runs and wraps on a chinlock. Dustin endures as Kaun squeezes tight. Nana likes what he sees as Dustin fades. The ref checks, but Dustin gets a second wind! Dustin fights up as the fans rally, but Kaun STOs! Kaun wraps on a chinlock and thrashes Dustin around! Dustin still fights up, breaks free, and he headlocks. Kaun powers out, but Dustin bounces off buckles and heads collide!

Both men are down in a daze and Nana grows worried now. Rampage returns to single picture and fans rally up. Kaun brings Dustin around but Dustin throws body shots. Dustin whips, Kaun avoids the powerslam and KICKS Dustin! Then fireman’s carries, for an AIR RAID CRASH! Cover, ONE?!? Fans fire up and Dustin is feeling it! Kaun ROCKS Dustin with a forearm, but Dustin eggs him on! Kaun throws more forearms, but Dustin roars! Dustin ROCKS Kaun with haymakers, then whips, to LARIAT! Kaun staggers up, into another LARIAT! Dustin kicks low, RHODES UPPERCUTS, and then POWERSLAMS!

Fans fire up with Dustin and he has Kaun in a corner. Dustin climbs up to rain down fists! Fans count all the way to 7, but Kaun TRIPS Dustin up! Fans boo but Nana is happy. Dustin kicks Kaun low to hop on, CODE RED! Cover, TWO!! Kaun escapes, but Dustin reels him back in! STUFF PILEDRIVER! Cover, TWO!! Kaun survives and Dustin is furious! Dustin pounds the mat, fans rally behind him, and Dustin brings Kaun around. Dustin ROCKS Kaun, ROCKS him again, and reels Kaun in. Kaun wrenches out, kicks low and reels Dustin in, but Dustin fights the underhooks to back drop! Kaun sunset flips it, TWO!!

Dustin escapes in time, but Kaun runs back in to SHOTGUN him into buckles! Kaun goes corner to corner again, fans rally as hard as ever, and Dustin dodges! Kaun hits buckles, and Dustin BULLDOGS! Dustin hurries to suplex, FINAL RECKONING! Cover, Dustin wins!

Winner: Dustin Rhodes, by pinfall

The Natural sheds blood, sweat and tears in his hometown, but then BRIAN CAGE attacks! Swerve’s Machine stomps Dustin down, and then drags him back up! POWERBOMB!! Fans boo but Nana runs the ref off. Swerve swaggers his way into the ring, Cage, Kaun and Nana all stomp Dustin. Swerve grins, but KEITH LEE makes his way out! Swerve tells Nana to handle this, and that means Kaun & Cage rush up. Keith DECKS Kaun, he fires off on Cage and RAMS him into railing! Keith glares at Swerve as he heads to the ring. Swerve grins, even as fans sing “OH~ Bask in His Glory~!”

Keith and Swerve step to each other, but then Kaun & Cage get back in! They attack Keith from behind, Keith throws hands and elbows, but Cage throws hands, too! Keith and Cage brawl, but Nana gets a chair to Kaun! Kaun SMACKS Keith on the back! Nana hurries to put the chair in place, Cage fireman’s carries Keith, for an F5 onto the chair!! And then Swerve goes up while the Embassy makes Keith take a seat. Fans boo as Swerve KILL STOMPS Keith off the chair! Cage makes Dustin watch from within a Camel Clutch! The Mogul Embassy stands tall over Naturally Limitless, will there be no stopping this conglomerate of brutality?


My Thoughts:

Great stuff for Rampage, though the technical mishap of picture in picture just being The Flash was a bit silly. Has the AEW team not figured out how to do this stuff yet? That aside, of course the BCC beats Best Amigos, they’re getting momentum both for Anarchy in the Arena, but also for Claudio & Yuta taking on The Lucha Brothers for the ROH World Tag Team Championships. Pretty sure the BCC won’t win that, though, as Claudio is still ROH World Champion and the Lucha Brothers need to be the ones taking on all the different teams in ROH. Also a great win for The Acclaimed in trios action, I’m surprised they’re not making a Double or Nothing challenge official already.

A little disappointed that Jade Cargill’s first open challenge wasn’t against someone we’ve seen on Elevation, Dark or even ROH on a more regular basis, but whatever, she was gonna win that anyway. And what a way to pad the win-loss record by having another jobber show up. But I did like that Taya Valkyrie showed up to stop Jade from getting to 60-0 now. That will be a great match, especially now that Taya can “legally” use the chicken wing facebuster. And honestly, this should be when someone beats Jade for the title. I honestly have no idea who else AEW is supposed to bring in to finally defeat Jade otherwise.

Really good promo from Kyle Fletcher to call out Orange Cassidy, they’re going to have a great title match, but I feel like maybe Cassidy gets this one so that he gets to 22 “and busts” in the battle royal, where a loss there is strongly protected since there are 20 others in it. Really good promo turned brawl for Hardy Party and Ethan, and Hardy Party is on the defensive so of course they’re going to go over at Double or Nothing. And likewise, a great promo turned brawl for Jericho and Cole. An Unsanctioned Match between those two is going to be awesome, but I also fully expect the JAS to try and help Jericho to win. It won’t matter since it won’t to the official record, so why wouldn’t Jericho cheat and then pretend like he beat Cole all on his own?

And of course, a really good main event, and wow, did not think Dustin would bleed quite so hard. Dustin winning made sense, because of course the Mogul Embassy beat down both Dustin and Keith. I was sure this was meant to be a tag match tonight but we didn’t see Liona in the attack so maybe he’s healing up. But we definitely need this to turn into Naturally Limitless VS Swerve & Cage as the blowoff so that Swerve and Keith can both finally move on to other stories.

My Score: 8.6/10

Cage slides into the ring, argues with the ref, and that lets Lance Archer attack! Archer SMACKS Ospreay off the desk, and then Callis gets his own shots in! The fans boo but Callis goes back to his seat at commentary. Archer tells fans to shut up, but then Cage SMACKS Ospreay off the desk again! And gives him an APRON BACK SUPLEX!

Ospreay grabs ropes to stop himself, then he KICKS in return! Cage fights the saido, CLUBS Ospreay on the neck, then whips him to a corner. Ospreay BOOTS Cage away, goes up, but Cage GAMANGIRIS! Cage goes up, but Ospreay slips under! Ospreay tucks Cage in to CHEEKY NANDOS! The fans fire up and Ospreay springboards, PIP PIP CHEERIO! Cover, TWO!

Backstage interview with Swerve Strickland.

Well, not quite, as Renee Paquette waits outside his locker room, hoping for a word about Ricochet’s threatening Prince Nana. Wait, Hangman Page barges through, and says no one is in there. Renee asks what Hangman is even doing, he says it is none of her business. Then can Hangman comment on Christopher Daniels announcing the end of his in-ring career? Nope, no time. But then Hangman literally bumps into MJF. These two stare down, but then Hangman moves on. MJF says unbelievable. The Cowboy walks around like he’s King S*it just because the fans like him. No matter what he does, Hangman did nothing wrong~!

But MJF even so much as breathes funny and it is all over for him. How hypocritical. MJF mutters to himself but Renee asks how he feels about Jeff Jarrett’s match where he could win a title opportunity with Moxley. Renee snaps MJF out of ranting to himself, and MJF apologizes, it’s the ADHD. But MJF is not gonna let anybody ruin his mood tonight. Because tonight, he proves his words aren’t just beautiful poetry but prophecy. Tonight, Double J learns that as MJF said, you’re better off making a deal with The Devil than defying him. Jarrett learns that the hard way when he goes out there alone to face one of the most dangerous men AEW has to offer in the man-horse, Claudio Castagnoli!

And that is all because of Jarrett’s narcissism, and his refusal of MJF’s sweetheart deal. MJF has a new offer, and unfortunately for Jarrett, it is one he can’t decline. It goes like this: The Last Outlaw’s Last Ride! Ain’t that great? MJF grins, but will he have to eat his words when Jarrett finds a way to defeat the Swiss Cyborg?

 

“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs speaks.

“Unfortunately, Big Bill, I wasn’t cleared to travel to Dynamite tonight. But just as we went off that stage on Collision, I told we’re going to Hell. When I’m cleared to come back, I’m gonna show you that Hell is just the beginning.” When and where will The Book of Hobbs finish this chapter with The Redwood?

 

High Stakes: Jeff Jarrett VS Claudio Castagnoli!

Well, just as the Wolf of Wrestling said, The Last Outlaw is going up against the Death Rider’s workhorse, all for his shot at Jon Moxley and the AEW World Championship! Will Double J win here to go on to “the big one?” Or is this where Jarrett’s ride ends?

The bell rings and the fans rally up for Jarrett. Jarrett and Claudio tie up, go around, go along ropes, and end up in a corner. The ref counts, Claudio lets off slowly, but then takes a swing! Jarrett avoids the cheap shot to UPPERCUT Claudio! Claudio headlocks, Jarrett powers up and out, but Claudio runs him over! Things keep moving, Jarrett drops down then arm-drags! And HIP TOSSES! Jarrett whips, JAPANESE ARM-DRAGS, and the fans fire up! Jarrett puts Claudio in a corner, climbs up, and he rains down fists! The fans count along, but Claudio stops Jarrett at 4 to then atomic drop! Claudio runs, and he LARIATS Jarrett down! Cover, TWO!

Claudio argues with the ref but the count was fair. Claudio drags Jarrett up, reels him in, but Jarrett powers up to back drop free! But Claudio sunset flips, Jarrett rolls through, and Jarrett has the legs! FIGURE FOUR! The fans “WOO~!” while Claudio flails! Claudio crawls over to the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Jarrett lets go fast, and the fans cheer while Claudio bails out. Jarrett waits on Claudio and the fans rally behind “DOUBLE J! DOUBLE J!” Claudio waves to the crowd? Oh, of course! Wheeler Yuta is here! The Decoder is dressed and ready for his match against Jay White, but he looks ready to go now if he has to!

Jarrett storms out and dares Yuta to do something, but the ref has Yuta stay back. Now Claudio waits on Jarrett in the ring, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

The ref has Jarrett leave Yuta alone, and he tells Yuta to stay back. Jarrett returns to the ring, dodges Claudio and puts him on ropes! Jarrett runs to then STRADDLE ATTACK! The fans cheer as Jarrett does the Fargo Strut, then runs back in, only for Yuta to warn Claudio! Claudio dodges and TOSSES Jarrett out of the ring! The ref keeps Claudio from going out there, but that lets Yuta attack Jarrett! Yuta gets away with it all and Claudio goes out the side. Claudio SMACKS Jarrett off the barriers, then stalks him around the way. Claudio then lifts Jarrett to hit SNAKE EYES off railing! Claudio puts Jarrett in the ring and clamps on a COBRA CLUTCH!

Jarrett endures while Claudio thrashes him around. Jarrett fights up, fires body shots, but Claudio HOTSHOTS him on ropes! Jarrett sputters, Claudio kicks him out to the floor, and again the ref keeps Claudio in the ring. Yuta creeps up, but the ref senses him this time! Yuta backs off, Claudio goes out, and Claudio puts Jarrett in the ring. Claudio tells the ref not to worry about Yuta, but then Jarrett fires body shots! Jarrett ROCKS Claudio, fires more shots, but Claudio BOOTS him down! And hits a LEG DROP, brother! Cover, TWO! Claudio clamps onto Jarrett with a chinlock and grinds him down while Dynamite returns to single picture.

The fans rally as Jarrett fights to his feet. Jarrett fires body shots, then powers Claudio to a corner. Jarrett whisp corner to corner but Claudio reverses, then follows in for an UPPERCUT! Snapmare and cover, TWO! Jarrett toughs it out and the fans rally some more. Claudio grabs the legs, but Jarrett kicks him away! Claudio comes back to DOUBLE STOMP! Cover, TWO! Jarrett stays in this and the fans cheer, but Claudio gives scuffing, mocking kicks. Claudio whips but Jarrett catches him for a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! The fans fire up and both men stand. Claudio fires hands on Jarrett, then UPPERCUTS!

Claudio UPPERCUTS again and Jarrett staggers around. Claudio UPPERCUTS, Jarrett HAYMAKERS! They go back and forth, the fans cheer Jarrett but boo Claudio. Jarrett gets the edge but Claudio kicks low! Claudio winds up to UPPERCUT, but Jarrett DECKS him in return! The fans fire up with Jarrett and he swings more shots and even some KICKS! Jarrett trips Claudio, steps through, but Claudio BOOTS him away! Claudio runs up in the corner again, but Jarrett dodges! Claudio is stuck, Jarrett kicks at the free leg! Claudio hobbles around but Jarrett winds up, only for Claudio to block! Jarrett aims, but Claudio ducks the enzigiri!

Claudio grabs both legs, for the GIANT SWING!! Claudio goes around and around, but can only manage half a dozen rotations because of the damage to his own leg! Claudio steps through on Jarrett and turns him over, SHARPSHOOTER! The fans boo but Jarrett endures! Jarrett reaches out while Claudio sits deep! Yuta tells Jarrett to just tap out, but the fans rally! Jarrett powers up, pushes back, and he has Claudio’s legs! Jarrett has the SHARPSHOOTER! Jarrett does this for Owen! Claudio endures, but Yuta slides a chair in! Yuta then distracts the ref, Jarrett lets Claudio go, and Jarrett DECKS Yuta!

The fans cheer, but Claudio grabs the chair! The ref ushers Yuta out, but Jarrett dodges the chair! Jarrett wrenches Claudio, reels him in, but MOXLEY is here!! The Maniac hits a PARADIGM SHIFT!! The fans boo but Moxley & Yuta bail out so that Claudio can hook Jarrett up! GOTCH NEUTRALIZER!! And then he hauls Jarrett up again, GOTCH NEUTRALIZER AGAIN!! Cover, Claudio wins!

Winner: Claudio Castagnoli, by pinfall (denies Jeff Jarrett a world title match)

Marina Shafir is also ringside now, just to hold up the briefcase that holds the world title. The Death Riders screw Double J over, but it took almost ALL of them to do it! Is this a sign that they fear Double J’s grit and determination? As for the Last Outlaw, he slowly sits up from taking all those big shots, the fans cheering him on. Jarrett thanks the fans, but here comes MJF… Jarrett sighs while he struggles to stand up, and MJF struts out here with another stupid grin on his face. MJF goes right to the ring, mic in hand, and he tells Jarrett, “I just wanted to come out here to say…” HE CLOBBERS JARRETT WITH THE DYNAMITE DIAMOND RING!!

The fans boo as MJF grins again and stands over Jarrett. MJF picks the mic back up to say, “As you know, I truly respect my elders. And that’s precisely why I’m not gonna say I told you so.” MJF leaves Double J behind, but will the Scumbag actually man up and go for gold? Or is he just going to wait it out while The Maniac continues his reign of terror?

 

Backstage interview with Ricochet.

Renee is with the One & Only and says earlier today, she tried to get a word with Swerve Strickland, but he is nowhere to be found. But she has been informed that should Swerve interfere in Ricochet’s match tonight, Swerve will effectively forfeit the match the two of them were set to have next week in Atlanta. Really? Ricochet likes that. Because finally, Swerve is out of Ricochet’s business. Well, Renee knows Ricochet has a lot he wants to get off his chest, so what’s on his mind? Ricochet says no, no, we aren’t doing this right now. Look at how Ricochet is dressed. Does she take him for some kind of hoodlum?

No, they will do this in a more formal setting this Saturday on Collision. As for tonight, “the powers that be” have decided to further bully Ricochet by putting him in a match against AR Fox one week before one of the biggest matches in Ricochet’s career. So if you don’t mind, let him take care of that situation real quick. Renee wishes him luck but he says no need. The music hits and Ricochet makes his entrance. Will Dynamite be #OuttaThisWorld? Or will it be the Whole Fox’n Show?

Ricochet VS AR Fox!

The bell rings and the fans rally up. Ricochet is annoyed already and he talks trash on Huntsville. Ricochet and Fox circle, tie up, and Ricochet pulls hair to put Fox in a corner. The ref counts, the fans boo, but Ricochet lets off to then shove Fox. Ricochet eggs Fox on, Fox runs up, and Fox gets around to headlock. Ricochet powers up and out, Fox RUNS Ricochet over, then keeps moving. He RUNS Ricochet over again, then ducks a lariat to hit a headlock takeover.

Ricochet sputters and Swerve snarls, and then Swerve puts Ricochet in the ring. But then Ricochet uses Fox as a shield! Ricochet even has the scissors against Fox’s neck to threaten him like he did Nana! Swerve stands down and Ricochet retreats. But with one week to go, will Ricochet enter Swerve’s House only to NOT make it out in one piece?

 

AEW shares a snippet from Closeup with Renee Paquette.

We got a little taste on Saturday during Collision, now we get a little more as Renee asks Jon Moxley about the AEW World Championship itself. From the moment Moxley won it, he’s kept it hidden. First a garbage bag, now the briefcase. Why is it Moxley is essentially holding this title hostage? Moxley asks back why anyone needs to see the belt. What does anyone get out of it? Do they want to take a picture of it? Is this a petting zoo? Why does anyone need to see it when they don’t know anything about it? They don’t understand it on any level. They don’t understand what a world championship means, what it is about, what it takes to be a world champion.

Moxley IS the AEW World Championship! He is the living definition of what it is to be a champion. Want to see it? Take a look at it, because it’s right here. HE is the AEW World Championship, it lives here. It isn’t something you hold, it isn’t something you show off, it isn’t something you take pictures with. It lives in the heart! It has to be cultivated, grown, forged in the white hot fires of struggle and combat. And as we heard from Collision, Moxley is trying to build a THOUSAND Moxleys! He wants to backfill AEW, so that means he must put them through what he went through, and maybe even worse.

The Maniac’s reign of terror is much deeper than we knew. But will it ever come to an end?

 

The Learning Tree speaks.

Chris Jericho says, “Hi, guys~! Welcome to another New York Minute, coming to you live this week from Huntsville, Alabama, home of the Crimson Toad.” Bryan Keith adds, “ROLL TOAD!” Jericho says a lot is going on with The Nueve, like his new movie, Dark Match, premiering in theaters and on Shudder this Friday night. It’s violent, it’s gory, it’s fun, just like The Learning Tree! But speaking of violent, we also saw last week on Collision, Big Bill took out Will Hobbs! Tells us about it, Redwood! Bill says what “LT” said last week really struck a chord with him. It is one thing for Bill to share the teachings of Jericho with the world, but it’s another to put those words into action.

Bill feels now that he understands Jericho’s words in a way that he never did before. He feels… Stronger. Jericho says yes, when he hears Bill say that, it makes Jericho very proud. Jericho is very proud… of himself, for being such a great mentor! And Jericho told Bill to take out Hobbs, but permanently. Bill didn’t do that, so Bill will have to work a little bit harder next time. But Bill will get that chance again this Saturday, as Jericho & Bad Apple Bryan Keith take on those other heathens who beat them in that 12 Man Tag at Maximum Carnage, The Outrunners! Jericho says the Outrunners claim to have been around for decades, but Jericho’s never seen them anywhere but AEW, EVER!

Keith says that’s a Mandela Effect! Jericho says this Saturday, The Youngest Men Alive get taught a lesson from the smartest men alive, and Big Bill will make Jericho proud for real this time. That’s all! Another New York Minute! Thanks, guys~! Jericho’s cocky smile turns into a sneer, but will he and Keith really bring down Turbo Floyd & Truth Magnum? Or will the Learning Tree get a Total Recall?

 

Jay White VS Wheeler Yuta!

The Switchblade has been after The Death Riders for months now, and he especially owes The Decoder for all the underhanded ways he’s gotten involved in White’s title matches. Will Yuta learn to Breathe with the Switchblade? Or will he just ruin another night for Jay White?

White is wary as he puts his jacket aside. Yuta runs up, but White catches him to a clinch! BLADE- NO, Yuta slips free and bails out! White taunts Yuta, Yuta says the bell hasn’t even rung! Oh, he’s one to talk about playing fair! The ref has White back up and Yuta slowly steps back into the ring. The fans chant “YUTA SUCKS! YUTA SUCKS!” The bell rings now, but Yuta bails out again. The fans boo but Yuta takes his time coming back. White says it’s fine, he’s got time. Yuta paces, the ring count hits 5 of 10, and Yuta steps in again. They tie up, Yuta headlocks but White slips out to headlock in return.

Yuta pulls hair to put White in a corner but the ref counts. The fans boo, Yuta lets go, but White pulls Yuta’s beard! The fans cheer, the ref reprimands, but White brings Yuta around.

White swings, Yuta dodges, and he drop toeholds White into the apron! White sputters and wobbles, Yuta SHOVES him into steel steps! White falls back, Yuta argues with the ref, and then Yuta SLAMS White’s leg into the steel steps! And he does it again! The ring count climbs again, but Yuta drags White around.

Yuta traps White’s leg in the frame of the ring! Yuta STOMPS the leg! The fans boo but Yuta pushes White into the ring. White rolls away, clutching that knee, but Yuta stalks him. White CHOPS, but Yuta stomps White! Yuta hooks the leg, FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Not quite perfect, but Yuta keeps White down with a leglock, and he drops a KNEE on the knee!

Yuta is annoyed, White CHOPS him but Yuta SLAPS White! Yuta has the toehold and twists the foot. White CLAWS Yuta’s back but Yuta TWISTS the ankle! Yuta steps through for another toehold, then ties the legs up in a deathlock! Yuta stands and taunts White. White grabs Yuta’s beard, but Yuta breaks free to bridge back! White endures, reaches out, and he crawls around. Yuta taunts White to go for the ropes, and White flails as he inches closer.

White fights and fights, and finally has the ROPEBREAK! Yuta mockingly applauds while the ref counts, and Yuta lets the leglock go at 4.

Yuta hoists White up to the top rope, “YUTA SUCKS!” but he CLAWS White’s eyes! Yuta climbs up behind White, but White fights the lift! White CLUBS Yuta again and again, then ELBOWS him!

“It’s a little different, huh? It’s a little different because it’s even, it’s an even fight right now. Death Riders, I know how you operate. And here’s the thing, I don’t hate how you operate. But what I do hate is when you try to end a 67-year-old man who is my idol, Ricky Morton. That’s what I got a problem! Right now, tonight, one of my favorite wrestlers of all time, one half of the greatest tag team, The Midnight Express, Dennis Condrey, is here! In Dennis Condrey’s name, on Collision, FTR VS The Death Riders, in a Midsouth Street Fight!” The fans like the sound of that! Dax says, “See y’all there.” Will the Top Guys make sure The Death Riders finally get what they deserve?

 

Renee Paquette is on stage.

She welcomes out the AEW Women’s World Champion, Mariah May! The Glamour walks out on stage, says it is great to be in Huntsville, “but looking around, maybe we should change the first letter to a C?” The fans get what she means, but Renee moves things along. We have seen the metamorphosis of “Timeless” Toni Storm, who Mariah will be defending the title against at Grand Slam: Australia. Mariah seemed a bit shaken- Oh, wow, we’re doing this? Toni Storm playing the part of Toni Storm, the RETURN~ of Toni Storm! This isn’t real, Renee! None of it is! Toni Storm is NOT real! Mariah then snatches the mic from Renee while the fans chant “TONI! TONI!”

Mariah scowls at the fans, then says, “You want to play the role of Toni Storm? Okay, why don’t you play the Toni Storm who gave her heart to a woman who used her for her gold? No, no, why don’t you play the Toni Storm who’s most memorable moment was bleeding and crying in my hands?” The fans boo but Mariah says maybe Toni should play the Toni who walked out of Wembley Stadium and Japan and Mexico, because she couldn’t touch Mariah. Mariah smirks while fans boo, and Mariah says Toni can play whatever Toni she’d like, because the ending stays the same. Mariah doesn’t need to rope play. When you’re this good, you don’t need to change a thing.

Mariah says, “I am the Woman From Hell, and I always will be. And I will remind you for the rest of your life. Look now and never forget, for this is your AEW Women’s World Champion!” Mariah holds up the title, but with just over two weeks left, will she lose it all to the woman she took it all from?

 

AEW checks on on The Gunns.

Austin & Colten have been watching from home, looking back on their rise to the top, and working on making it back. When and where will it be #GunnsUp again?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Collision!

On top of Jericho & Keith VS The Outrunners, we will see Samoa Joe & Hook team up against Nick Wayne & Kip Sabian! Will The Patriarchy’s “sons” be able to stop the Samoan Submission Machine and the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil? Then, after hearing Mariah speak tonight, “Timeless” Toni Storm will give her response! And then, after the tense stare downs from last week’s Homecoming, Daniel Garcia is putting up his TNT Championship in a Triple Threat! Kyle O’Reilly and Lee Moriarty are stepping up, but will either of them take this title from Red Death?

 

The Hurt Syndicate speaks.

Montel Vontavious Porter says, “Normally, we would gloat. But we’re gonna celebrate. First, because we’re classy gentlemen who conduct business, I would like to recognize the former AEW Tag Team Champions, Private Party. Zay, Quen, they’re warriors, they fought hard. It wasn’t their fault they ran into the most devastating tandem in ALL of professional wrestling. These tag team titles are going to stay here as long as we want them. We are putting everyone on notice. The All Mighty, Bobby Lashley. The Standard of Excellence, Shelton Benjamin. Hurt Syndicate will accept any challenge from any challenger. Any time, any place.

“We are the Hurt Syndicate, and we hurt people.” Then who will dare step up against this dangerous and powerful pair?

 

The Don Callis Family speaks.

Don Callis himself says, “We are the true one-percenters of professional wrestling.” Konosuke Takeshita is not only the AEW International Champion, he is the NEVER Openweight Champion after defeating Shingo Takagi at WrestleKingdom 19 and Tomohiro Ishii at WrestleDynasty. They will do what they do everywhere in the world, whatever ring they step into, and win 1-2-3! Will that be the case when AEW arrives in Australia?

 

The Vendetta speak.

Taya Valkyrie has the cameraman come in close. “Moments from now, we’re gonna witness Mercedes Mone defend her TBS Championship VS Yuka. UGH!” Deonna Purrazzo says, “We both know that could have been me, it should have been me, and it would have been me, if it wasn’t for Harley Cameron.” Taya says Harley loves sticking her “balloons” where they don’t belong, and Deonna says this world wasn’t built for women like them. That is why they must TAKE what they deserve. So Harley, now you belong to The Vendetta. Saturday Night Collision, they are coming to collect. The Virtuosa then dismisses the cameraman, will Harley pay for doing the right thing?

 

AEW TBS Championship: Mercedes Mone VS Yuka Sakazaki!

The CEO may be the FOUR-BELT BOSS, but she is still up for a challenge. She turned down Harley Cameron as Harley hasn’t won anything on AEW TV, ever. But then Harley made sure the Wrestling Magical Girl had a fair chance in Homecoming’s Fatal 4 Way last Saturday Night Collision. Will Yuka thank Harley for that by defeating Mone? Or will The CEO still be the Face of TBS?

The introductions are made, the AEW belt is raised, and we see if Mone holds onto the hardware!

The bell rings and the two circle. Mone and Yuka tie up, go around, and the fans are on Yuka’s side. Mone wrenches, wristlocks, but Yuka spins, wrenches, and wristlocks in return. Mone rolls, kips up, and wrenches to hammerlock. Yuka endures, fights up and spins around to top wristlock! Mone slips under but Yuka headlocks. Mone powers out to headlock in return, but Yuka powers up to power out. Mone RUSN Yuka over, soaks up the heat while she does her dance, but Yuka kips up! Yuka wags her finger, runs, and she jumps over the dropdown. Things keep moving, and Yuka RUNS Mone over! The fans cheer and Yuka does her own CEO dance!

Mone swipes, Yuka jumps it, and she snapmares Mone! Mone bridges up and snapmares Yuka, but Yuka bridges up! Mone shoves Yuka, but Yuka avoids the arm-drag! The fans cheer as Yuka body scissors, and she rolls Mone around and around, and around again! Cover, TWO! Mone escapes and then ducks a sliding lariat! Ghost pin, TWO! Mone CHOPS! The fans “WOO~!” and Mone grins. Yuka swings, Mone blocks her and goes up, up, and then FLYING ARM-DRAGS! Mone dusts herself off while Yuka tumbles away. Yuka bails out, Mone builds speed, but Yuka blocks the basement dropkick! Yuka spins Mone around, then says neener-neener!

Mone kicks, Yuka ducks it, but Mone grabs Yuka by the hair! Mone says you wanna neener-neener HER?! Mone whips, Yuka goes up the apron and TIGER FEINT KICKS Mone down! The fans fire up with Yuka and she goes up the corner! Mone stands, Yuka aims, but Mone scrambles away! The fans boo and Yuka pouts. Yuka hops down while Mone wags her finger. Yuka goes to the apron, kicks, but Mone blocks! Mone trips Yuka, Yuka hits the apron, and then Mone goes up! METEORA to the floor! The CEO does her dance again, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Mone soaks up heat while the ref checks Yuka. Yuka’s still in this, so Mone stands her up. Mone brings Yuka around the ring in a mocking victory lap, then THROWS her into the apron! Mone CHOPS Yuka, puts her in the ring, then covers, TWO! Yuka stays in this and Mone is frustrated already. Mone drags Yuka up, brings her around, and bumps her off buckles. Mone stomps a mudhole into Yuka, stands on her, then steps off as the ref counts. Mone runs back in, but she blocks Yuka’s boot! Yuka tries another kick, Mone blocks that, and Mone puts Yuka in the ropes. Mone ROCKS Yuka, then hits the STOCK DROP! Cover, TWO!

Yuka stays in this and Mone is annoyed. Mone storms back up on Yuka, drags her up by her hair, then scoops her, only for Yuka to slip free! Yuka has the arms for a motorcycle stretch, but then throws Mone down into a cover, TOW! Mone hurries to her feet and she DROPKICKS Yuka down! Yuka flounders, but she still kicks Mone from below. Mone stomps away on Yuka, drags her up and scoops again, for the SLAM! Mone kneels on the cover, TWO! Yuka stays in this but Mone stays on her by clamping on a chinlock. Yuka endures, fights up, and fires body shots. Mone THROWS Yuka down by her hair, then dusts herself off.

Mone soaks up more heat, KNEES Yuka in the back again and again and again, then puts her in the motorcycle stretch! Yuka endures, fights up to her feet, but Mone pushes her back down! Mone pulls on the arms but Yuka still endures! Yuka fights up, Mone cranks the arms, and Dynamite returns to single picture. Yuka still fights and the fans rally behind her. Yuka kicks Mone, ROCKS her, then fires more shots! Mone shoves Yuka, blocks a kick, and KNEES Yuka! Mone reels Yuka in, puts one out, and lifts Yuka, but Yuka RANAS Mone away! The fans fire up while Yuka goes to a corner. Mone runs in, but Yjka dodges! Mone crashes into buckles!

Mone falls back, hobbles up, and Yuka GAMANGIRIS! Yuka then springboards up, up, balances herself, and MISSILE DROPKICKS! The fans fire up again and Yuka brings Mone up. Yuka suplexes, BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Mone stays in this but Yuka runs, SLIDING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Mone survives again but Yuka keeps her cool. Yuka suplexes Mone again, but Mone slips free and spins Yuka around! Mone suplexes, Una Amiga! Then Dos Amigas! The fans boo but Mone hits THREE AMIGAS! Cover, TWO!! Yuka survives and Mone is frustrated. Mone shakes her head, drags Yuka around and stomps her down.

Mone steps on Yuka, heads for the corner, and fans boo as Mone climbs. Mone grins as she gives some Latina Heat, but Yuka is up! Yuka runs up to UPPERCUT! The fans fire up as Yuka climbs and fires forearms! The fans count along, Yuka hits TEN, and then brings Mone up! SUPERPLEX! Both women are down but the fans fire up! Yuka crawls her way over, covers, TWO!! Mone survives and Yuka grows a bit frustrated. Yuka drags Mone up, wrenches and hammerlocks, then she picks Mone up! MERRY-GO- NO! Mone slips free, Gory Especial, MONEY- NO!! Yuka lands out!! SUPERKICK!

Mone staggers around, Yuka wrenches and hammerlocks again! MERRY-GO-ROUND~ FACEBUSTER!! Cover, TWO!! Mone still survives and now Yuka is angry! Mone crawls to a corner, Yuka runs in, but Mone ELBOWS her away! Mone goes up to get Yuka for DEADLY NIGHTSHADE! And then BACKSTABBER into the STATEMENT MAKER!! Yuka endures the crossface, reaches out, rolls Mone, TWO!! Mone swings, misses, and Yuka ROLLING ELBOWS! Mone drops to her knees, Yuka rolls her into the SEATBELT! TWO!! Mone escapes and goes back to a corner. Yuka runs up, blocks boots, and she puts Mone in the ropes!

Yuka ENZIGIRS, then DRAPING GERMAN SUPLEXES! The fans are thunderous while Mone flounders! Yuka goes up the ropes, MAGICAL GIRL SPLASH onto knees!! Mone saves herself, cradles Yuka, TWO!! Yuka escapes, but Mone KNEES her in the face! And then a POWERBOMB! Mone flips Yuka over, hooks her into the Gory Especial, MONEY MAKER!! Cover, Mone wins!

Winner: Mercedes Mone, by pinfall (still AEW TBS Champion)

Mone got quite the fight from Yuka, but she not only holds onto this title, but she stays the FOUR BELT BOSS! Will anyone ever end The CEO’s world domination?


My Thoughts:

A great Dynamite here, and it moved rather smoothly. I can’t be sure, but it felt like there was less talking and more story told through action. Great opening match from Ospreay VS Cage, and they hit all the beats: Omega got attacked backstage; Ospreay still wins despite Archer and Callis getting involved; Don Callis Family beats Ospreay up; Omega makes the save; Don Callis Family still beats him and Ospreay up. I feel like the teaser of the “sixth man” was a little soon if Ospreay & Omega were still going to be on the defensive, but maybe we’ll see the reveal during the tag match for Grand Slam: Australia. It would certainly be a big moment for their newest “biggest show.”

Plus, great story intertwining, it was a bit like the AEW of old. Hangman looking for Swerve but not finding him, then bumping into MJF was good stuff. MJF of course talked smack on Jarrett before Jarrett VS Claudio, and Jarrett VS Claudio was some great stuff. But wow, Moxley needing to get involved to screw over Jarrett? I feel like Claudio could’ve just given Jarrett a low blow and it would’ve been the same. But I suppose Jarrett really being down and out gave MJF his opening to add on, which of course all but guarantees we’re getting MJF VS Jarrett, probably also for Grand Slam: Australia. Again, it’s AEW’s new big special, they’re not having MJF miss that.

Ricochet had a good promo getting all cocky because he thought he was safe, and then he had a great match against AR Fox. Swerve appearing from under the ring (at least I think that’s where he was, the cameras didn’t catch where he came from) was great, and he got to beat up on Ricochet a bit. Ricochet still got away before Swerve could truly stand tall, but this was the go-home to their match next week in Atlanta, and Swerve certainly has the edge on Ricochet. That would usually indicate Swerve loses, and I could see Ricochet cheating to do it. I feel like they could easily set a bigger, better match for Grand Slam, maybe even Revolution, we’ll have to wait and see.

Good snippet from that Moxley interview for Closeup, thought it didn’t add too much to what we got on Collision last week. White VS Yuta was a great match, and while White won, the Death Riders of course came out to go after him. That then of course brought out Rated FTR, but surprisingly no brawl. FTR putting out the challenge for the Midsouth Street Fight is good stuff, and that match will be some awesome stuff, and also hard to call. We also got a good vignette from The Gunns, so maybe we will get them returning to help White against the Death Riders, and then we can actually get a World Trios Championship already.

Good promo from Hobbs to explain why he couldn’t be here tonight, and this was surely legit given that wild fall off the stage in Daily’s Place. Any number of bumps, scrapes, bruises and such could’ve happened when crashing down through tables and hitting the ground, and Hobbs is still only just returning from injury, they can’t risk him getting injured again. Good “New York Minute” from The Learning Tree, but the highlight was Jericho’s continued condescending towards Big Bill. Bill really needs to turn on Jericho before this story is over, and I’d love if Bill also ranted about all the things Jericho got wrong about the USA while trying to be “The King of New York.”

Good promo from Mariah to respond to that confrontation with Toni Storm, and Toni’s promo on Collision will surely be good stuff. Good promo from Vendetta, I feel like whatever match they have with Harley should end up Harley’s win. Then Harley can throw that win in Mone’s face because she wants that title shot in Australia. Speaking of, awesome main event from Mone VS Yuka, probably one of Yuka’s best matches in AEW. But of course Mone won, she’s been going strong and probably will keep going until Kamille comes back or we get another crossover of AEW, NJPW and other partners, aka Forbidden Door: London.

My Score: 8.9/10
