AEW World Championship Eliminator: MJF VS Adam Cole!
Maxwell Jacob Friedman swore no one was on the level of the Devil, but then the Undisputed One stepped forward! But of course, Adam Cole can’t just cut the line without earning that right. Will Cole beat MJF here to get a title match down the line? Or will MJF cross off the very last threat to his reign of terror?
The bell rings and fans are already fired up. Cole gets fired up and the fans get even more fired up! Cole and MJF get face to face, talk some trash, and then the two back up. They circle, tie up, and MJF headlocks. Cole powers out, MJF runs him over, and MJF mocks the BAYBAY pose. MJF runs, but Cole hurdles. MJF ducks, dodges, then stops to strut. Fans boo as MJF swivels his hips, but Cole runs in! MJF dodges, things keep moving, and Cole ducks while MJF hurdles. But MJF then narrowly avoids the superkick! Cole winds it up, “ADAM COLE BAYBAY!” MJF bails out of the ring as he scowls.
Fans fire up as MJF paces. MJF goes over the railing? And he grabs someone’s popcorn to throw it all around! DC boos MJF and even flips him off, but MJF gives it back. He slaps one guy’s hat off his head! MJF goes back to ringside, soaks up all the heat, and he goes up the steel steps. MJF steps in while fans tell him off. Cole smirks but MJF just shrugs it off. They tie up, then MJF claims hair pulling! Fans boo, MJF is just copying Sheiky Baby. MJF and Cole tie up again, then MJF pulls Cole’s hair! The ref counts, MJF lets off, and he throat chops! MJF stomps Cole down! MJF then drags Cole up to wrench and WRING into the corner!

The fans count along, Cole goes all the way to ten! “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” Cole wrenches, whips, but MJF blocks to jam Cole’s arm! MJF runs in but Cole TOSSES him up and out! Cole shakes out the bad arm, then runs in, but gets caught int he apron skirt! MJF CLUBS away, pulls hair, and lets off as the ref reprimands. MJF brings Cole over to SMACK the arm off steel steps!
Fans boo but MJF threatens to smack them. Then MJF CLAWS Cole’s back! MJF gets Cole’s arm again, and he stands on it on the steps! Then he stomps the fingers! Cole crawls away into the ring but MJF just soaks up the heat again. MJF drags Cole back up, wraps the arm into a top wristlock, and he leans on the hold. Cole endures and fans rally up. Cole fights up to throw body shots! Cole gets free, but MJF throws him down by his hair! The ref reprimands and MJF “apologizes” before he taunts fans. MJF goes to Cole, gets the bad arm and he SLAMS it on the mat! MJF then has Cole in a mounted armbar and makes gestures with Cole’s arm.
MJF HIP DROPS the bad arm! Cole goes to a corner, MJF storms up and he snapmares Cole to then gets the arm for another top wristlock. Cole endures, even as MJF leans on the hold.

Cole kicks, but MJF ducks to pump handle, MADE IN LONG ISLAND! Cover, TWO!! Cole survives the driver but MJF huffs and puffs. Fans rally and duel, and MJF mocks the Adam Cole fans. MJF then mocks HBK to rub in Cole’s NXT past.
MJF goes to the corner to soak up more heat, and then he tunes up the band! Fans boo, MJF runs in, but into a SUPERKICK! Cole goes to a corner now while MJF has blood in his mouth! MJF shakes out the stars and he realizes what just happened to his own mouth. MJF is mad, he runs in, but into an elbow! And a BOOT! Cole rallies with big clotheslines and elbows, and then a BOOT! Fans are thunderous for Cole and he brings MJF up in a waistlock. MJF switches but Cole PELES! And BACKSTABBERS! Cover, TWO! MJF is still in this but Cole goes to a corner.

Double-edged for MJF’s knees now, and both men flop to the floor! The fans are losing their minds as Dynamite goes picture in picture!
The ref checks both men, and somehow they’re both okay to continue. But they’re both down for a long time so the ref double checks. Is MJF really okay to continue with that leg? MJF stands, hobbles over, proving he is. MJF puts Cole back in the ring, hurries to cover, TWO!! Cole is still in this and MJF is frustrated. MJF gets that bad arm, and DOUBLE STOMPS it! Cole writhes and then crawls to the corner. MJF storms up on Cole, wraps the bad arm around ropes, and pulls! The ref counts, MJF lets off, and MJF glares at all the fans. DC rally up, but MJF goes back to Cole to dig his boot in. The ref counts and MJF lets off at 4.
Cole sputters against ropes while Dynamite returns to single picture. MJF paces, he stalks Cole as he crawls to center, and MJF says, “You’re a nobody, Cole!” Cole throws a forearm, but there’s nothing behind it. MJF grins and kicks at Cole. Then MJF SPITS on Cole!

He puts that aside as he clears off the timekeeper’s table! MJF then drags Cole out of the ring to bring him over, and he puts Cole on the table!

Direct hit on Cole and fans lose their minds all over again! The ref checks both men in the wreckage while fans cheer for “A E DUB! A E DUB!” for making this the opener!
MJF sits up first, and he manages to stand. MJF tells the ref to count while he gets in the ring. The ref starts the ring count, and Cole starts to stir. The count reaches 5 of 10 while Cole does his best to sit up. The medic, Doc Sampson, is checking on Cole, is he even okay to continue? The count is 8 of 10, fans are going nuts as Cole is on his feet! Cole slides in at 9.9!! MJF is shocked! He thought he had this but Cole survives by nanoseconds!

And into the REF! Fans freak out but MJF sees an opening!
MJF hurries out, grabs the belt, and he hurries back over! MJF watches and the ref is still down. MJF throws the belt to Cole, flips him off, and pulls a Guerrero! The ref flounders around, but Cole smirks. So much for MJF’s trick! And now Cole has a weapon! Fans tell MJF he effed up! BELT SHOT!!! Cole throws the belt out, then brings the kneepad down! MJF sits up, into the BOOM!! Cover, TWO?!?! The ref couldn’t count fast enough cuz of the damage he took earlier! Fans are going nuts and Cole can’t believe MJF’s luck. Cole stands back up, he brings MJF back up, and he reloads. But MJF flops down before the Boom!
The ref checks MJF but Cole storms up behind him. Cole drags MJF up but MJF grabs at the ref! LOW BLOW MULE KICK!! MJF gest away with one and fans boo! MJF then crawls to a corner, and he brings out the Dynamite Diamond Ring!! MJF grins as he puts the ring on his pinkie, hides it behind his back, and runs in, but the ref STOPS MJF! The ref was doing it so Cole could steady himself, but now he exposes the trick! And Cole SUPERKICKS MJF!! The ref takes the ring, Cole goes up the corner! PANAMA SUNRISE!!! But that’s not all! HERE COMES THE BOOM!! Cover, the bell rings?!? TIME LIMIT DRAW?!?!
Fans can’t believe it! The 30 minutes are UP, so MJF is literally saved by the bell!! But what happens if an Eliminator is a draw? Cole grabs a mic while fans call BS! Cole tells MJF, “Five. More. Minutes.” Fans love that idea! Cole throws the mic to MJF for him to respond, but MJF just stares Cole down, belt between them. MJF then grabs the belt and slithers away. Fans boo but what else should we expect from The Devil of AEW? Will Tony Khan have to handle this one?
CM Punk speaks.
The Second City Savior says the only thing certain about him right now is that nothing is certain. He’s worked hard to get back to AEW, and he’s coming back for the same reason he first showed up. He has scores to settle and things still to do in his career. “Saturday, the 17th of June, Collision, the United Center. I won’t know what I’m gonna do or say until I have that microphone in hand. I have a lot of things to get off my chest.” Is this going to be the Pipebomb 2023?
Renee Paquette is in the ring.
And she welcomes out Sammy Guevara. Fans cheer the Spanish God as he makes his way out for the first time since Double or Nothing. The father-to-be joins Renee in the ring, and Renee notes we haven’t seen him since he was so close to becoming new AEW World Champion. That was also the same night he and wife Tay Melo announced the pregnancy, so congratulations on that. Sammy has a lot to think about, so where is his mind at? Sammy says it has been a hell of a ride these past couple months. The highest of highest, such as Tay being pregnant, which if you didn’t know, they’re having a girl!
And then there are the lowest of lows, like coming this close to becoming world champion and falling short. But the goal is always the same. And now it’ll be that much better! He’ll have his wife by his side, their baby girl in one arm, and the AEW World Championship in the other! But before that happens, Sammy has to make some tough decisions and some changes. But wait, here comes Darby Allin! A fellow Young Pillar, another man who was close to winning at Double or Nothing, now joins Sammy in the ring. Darby has his own mic to tell Sammy, “I mean this when I say it. Congratulations on the baby girl.”
But that’s not what this is about. Darby wants to talk Double or Nothing. He isn’t demanding a rematch, he lost that night, too. He wants to start from the bottom. But let’s talk about Sammy for a minute. From the sounds of it, the people are starting to love Sammy again. Fans cheer, but Darby has to ask, though. Is Sammy gonna stand on his own two feet? Or stand in the shadow of the Jericho Appreciation Society? Darby’s said it before and he’ll say it again: the biggest difference between Sammy & Jericho versus Darby & Sting, is that Darby and Sting are equals. There’s no Sting Appreciation Society.
So look, Sammy. He doesn’t have to answer now, but Darby has an idea. But wait! Here comes Chris Jericho! The fans sing along with Judas while The Wizard glares at the ring. Jericho goes down the ramp with a lot of pyro going off and Floyd the Baseball Bat in hand. Jericho has the song stop early and fans boo. Darby, you stand there and shut your mouth, and mind your own business! Don’t laugh at him, kid! Jericho then looks to Sammy and says it’s just them now. Jericho’s been meaning to ask Sammy. The whole three months of chasing MJF for the championship, he never called Jericho once! Never asked him to help once!
Y’know, Sammy’s mentor? The guy who brought you into AEW and made you a star? If you’d asked for Jericho’s help, Sammy would be here as THE AEW World Champion! Sammy says that’s funny, because he was thinking, why didn’t Jericho call Sammy? Cuz if Jericho did, then Jericho wouldn’t have lost to Adam Cole. Twice. Jericho laughs that off, and says Sammy must be having delusions of grandeur from his brush with the main event scene. Jericho will give Sammy the chance to apologize to him right now. Fans chant “NO! NO! NO!” and Sammy says he ain’t apologizing for s*it!!
Fans fire up for Sammy and Jericho says Sammy needs to remember the dynamic in the JAS. Maybe Sammy needs to remember the hierarchy. Maybe they need to reunite Le Sex Gods in a tag match next week so Sammy can remember who his boss is! Oh, a match? Darby says Jericho calls himself a wizard, but when he gets in the ring, the magic is gone. Jericho smirks at Darby, and asks if Darby wants this, “you morose mutant.” You wanna challenge Jericho by yourself? Maybe he and Sammy should beat the hell outta Darby 2v1?! Darby says he’s not really alone. Because here comes STIIIING!
Fans go wild as The Icon and HIS bat make their way out! Fans fire up as Sting gets in the ring with Jericho and the rest. Fans fire up as two legends stare down and circle. Jericho aims his bat at Sting’s neck. Sting smirks and pushes Jericho’s bat away, to aim his own! Jericho gets loose, clinks bats, but then Sting smacks back! Will Sammy have no choice but to fall in line behind The Ocho? Or will he do as Darby thinks and be his own man?
AEW hears from Sanada!
The IWGP World Heavyweight Champion introduces himself. “On June 25th, I plan to show the world the strength of an IWGP Champion. At Forbidden Door, I will hold an Open Challenge for this IWGP World Heavyweight Champion. I look forward to seeing who steps up to my challenge. AEW roster, I’m waiting for your answer. See you next time.” Who will dare step through the Forbidden Door to face The Cold Skull?

Swerve drags Darby up in a fishhook but the ref counts. Swerve lets off, then gets an arm. Swerve CLUBS away on Darby, smothers him into the mat, and Dynamite returns to single picture.

The eclectic quartet comes out on top! Garcia doesn’t seem impressed. Is the Dragonslayer looking to go after the AEW International Championship while also aiming for the ROH Pure Championship?
Backstage interview with The Gunns.
Renee is with Austin & Colten and brings up them helping out Jay White against Ricky Starks. Just what is the relationship they have with The Switchblade? Austin says they have no idea what she’s talking about. But Colten says what they do know is that they were raised to be polite gentlemen. That’s why they don’t talk bad about anyone. They’ll talk about something that matters: Them! They’re the best tag team in AEW, and the best brother tag team in AEW. There is one team they have their eyes on, and those brothers get extreme. BLAM BLAM! That team has had their time, run their course, they’re washed up, it’s enough.
So that is why next week, in Chicago, on Dynamite, the Gunns challenge The Hardys to prove who is truly the best brother tag team today. And Renee, do something with your hair. Yikes. The Ass Boys are calling out the Hardy Boyz, but will Jeff & Matt take Austin & Colten to those extremes?
AEW TNT Championship: Wardlow w/ Arn Anderson VS Jake Hager!
The Maestro of Mayhem knows Christian Cage & Luchasaurus will be back for more, and he’s ready to give it to them. But first, he looks to defend this title against another familiar foe in the JAS’s Big Hurt! Will Wardlow get hurt before settling things with Captain Charisma? Or will he be composing yet another Powerbomb Symphony?
But wait! Hager attacks Wardlow during his entrance! Hager throws hands, CLOBBERS Wardlow to ringside, and then POSTS him! Fans boo as Hager gets Wardlow in the ring. The bell rings, Hager fires off body shots in the corner! Fans chant for “WARD~LOW!” while the ref counts. Hager stops at 4, but then starts up the body shots again! The ref counts again, Hager lets off to soak up the heat, and then he goes back to whip corner to corner. Wardlow comes back to CLOBBER Hager! And again! And then Wardlow gets around to GERMAN SUPLEX! Fans fire up with Wardlow as he sees Hager go to a corner.
Wardlow runs in to RAM Hager, and then whips him corner to corner. Hager reverses, runs in, but Wardlow TOSSES Hager up and out! Hard landing for Hager but Wardlow is feeling good! Wardlow goes out, fans rally up and he runs in to CLOBBER Hager! DC is fired up as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Wardlow drags Hager up, POSTS him in return, and then has him against railing. Wardlow brings Hager around, CLUBS him and puts him in the ring. Hager box jumps to the apron and fans cheer. Wardlow then runs in to clothesline Hager in the corner! Wardlow whips corner to corner hard and Hager bounces off buckles. Wardlow stomps Hager, jams a knee into Hager’s back, and then covers. TWO, but Wardlow keeps his cool. Hager goes to a corner, Wardlow RAMS into him! And again! Wardlow brings Hager around to suplex, and TOSS! Hager writhes but fans cheer as Wardlow flexes.

Wardlow drags Hager up, reels him in, and fans fire up, only for Matthew Menard & Angelo Parker to appear! That distraction allows Hager to CHOP BLOCK Wardlow! Arn tells Menard & Parker to stay back, and they tell him to do something about it. Arn’s got the “Glock!” Or rather, BROCK! Brock Anderson rushes out to fire off on Parker, and then Arn DECKS Menard! Father and son run Menard & Parker off, but Hager stalks Wardlow. SPINEBUSTER! Cover, ONE??!!
Hager is shocked but he goes to the far corner. Wardlow is in the drop zone, Hager runs in, HAGER BOMBÂ into boots! Hager staggers, Wardlow clotheslines him up and out of the ring! And then PLANCHAS?! Direct hit and Wardlow lands on his feet! Wardlow gets Hager in, goes up a corner, and SWANTON BOMBS!! Fans fire up and Wardlow brings down the straps! Wardlow drags Hager up, for the POWERBOMB! But that’s just the first! Second verse, same as the first, a POWERBOMB!! Cover, Wardlow wins!
Winner: Wardlow, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
The TNT title is still in Wardlow’s World, but Christian & Luchasaurus are on the tron! The audio isn’t working so Christian’s message is having no effect. Wardlow says Christian is all talk anyway. The sound finally kicks in and Christian says everyone knows he should be TNT Champion! A few weeks ago on Dynamite, Wardlow threw the challenge to Luchasaurus. So they’re here to say Luchasaurus accepts! It’ll be the debut of AEW Collision in Chicago! But the question for Wardlow is… “What’s gonna happen when your new daddy isn’t there to save you next time?” Luchasaurus drags a bloodied Arn on screen!
Wardlow runs to the back but we don’t even know where this is in the arena! Will Captain Charisma sink to new lows in order for his Right Hand of Destruction to take the title?
AEW hears from Hiroshi Tanahashi!
“It’s NJPW’s Master of the Century, Hiroshi Tanahashi. MJF, as long as you’re champion, that belt won’t shine like it should. Last year at Forbidden Door, I came this close to beating Moxley for the AEW title. So this year at Forbidden Door, MJF, face me one on one!” The Ace just called out the Devil, what will be his response? Speaking of…
Backstage interview with MJF.
Renee finds him in the trainer’s room getting checked out. She commends him on the great match tonight, and brings up Tanahashi’s challenge just now. It has already been made official, Forbidden Door will see MJF VS Tanahashi for the AEW World Championship. Wait, come again? Not about Tanahashi, but the rest. He then cuts Renee off and says the answer’s no. He doesn’t feel like giving a shot to a “rando from a rinky-dink indie fed in Japan.” As far as Tony Khan “booking” him for things, wouldn’t be the first time he no-showed something like that. So Tanahashi, PBBT. Sorry, no can do, bud. Renee, you can go now.
Renee does leave, and the medic gets back to checking MJF. Ow, ow, careful! MJF is sore, tired, and acting like a child, but will he have no choice but to go through the Forbidden Door?
Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.
Renee is with the International Champion and says that a lot of times, we already know what his matches are going to be, who is challenging him, but we don’t have that right now. What is next for Freshly Squeezed? Yeah, y’know how this works. Right about now, someone will walk in and make a challenge. Oh hey! Zack Sabre Jr. is here! And the NJPW World Television Champion says hello to “Orange Bullocks.” Well, see, Cassidy mentioned ZSJ’s name a couple weeks ago at the media scrum, and well, ZSJ might be the first-ever NJPW World TV Champion, but next Sunday is Forbidden Door, now isn’t it?
And ZSJ very much thinks that the idea of a Double Champion is “pretty bloody marvelous.” What does Cassidy- But in walks Garcia! And he says ZSJ doesn’t even work here, okay? But yeah, a Double Champion is a great idea. Garcia was the person closest to beating Cassidy for that title, and his second belt of choice is the ROH Pure Championship. So speaking of, where’s Cassidy’s boy, Shibata, at? Uh, yeah, Shibata’s not here tonight. But he will next week. So how about, uh… ZSJ & Garcia VS Cassidy & Shibata on Dynamite? Good? See you then. Cassidy heads out, Garcia looks for a high-five from ZSJ, but ZSJ tells him to “pack it in.”
ZSJ leaves Garcia hanging, but will these two submission specialists take down the Freshly Squeezed & The Wrestler?
AEW Women’s World Championship: Toni Storm w/ Ruby Soho VS Skye Blue!
The Outcasts have started taking over AEW, but they’ve made a lot of enemies along the way. Chicago Skye was a major dark horse in Rampage’s Fatal 4 Way but she came out on top against three former women’s champions! Will Skye now join the championship club herself?

The Outcasts see Mama Blue ringside and taunt her supporting her daughter. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if Skye makes her mama proud here tonight!

The ref counts, Storm lets off and they argue, but Ruby SMACKS Skye with the Saraya cutout!
Ruby gets away with that cheap shot, and surely Saraya is cheering from the UK. Dynamite returns to single picture as Storm stands Skye up, but Skye throws forearms! Fans fire up as Skye fires off on Storm! Skye whips, Storm reverses and scoops, but Skye tilt-o-whirls to RANA! And then SHINING WIZARD against ropes! Snapmare, SUPER- NO, Storm blocks that, but Skye spins through to BASEMENT ROUNDHOUSE! Storm goes to ropes, fans fire up as Skye runs in, but Storm sends her right into ropes! The ref reprimands while Skye flops out of the ring. The ref has Ruby stay back but Storm goes out to fetch Skye.
Ruby and Storm hug but fans boo. Storm drags Skye up, puts her in the ring, and then Ruby slips Storm the spray paint! The ref counts, Storm gets on the apron but so does Ruby. The ref stops Ruby, but this allows Storm to get in with the paint. Storm storms up on Skye, but wait! Skye has her own BLUE spray paint!! She gets Storm right in the face! SUPERKICK!! And then Storm swings on Ruby! Ruby runs away, Skye runs at Storm and hops on, CODE BLUE!! Cover, but Ruby distracts!! Skye should’ve won twice over by now!! Skye gets up to SUPERKICK Ruby! Skye runs at Storm, but into a HOTSHOT!
STORM ZERO!! Cover, TWO?!?! Skye survives and Storm is furious!! The fans are thunderous as Storm gets the legs, TEXAS CLOVERLEAF!!! Storms its on it deep, and Skye TAPS! Storm wins!
Winner: Toni Storm, by submission (still AEW Women’s World Champion)
Skye almost beat Storm at her own game, but Skye forgot that Storm never rolls alone! And now, Ruby thrashes Skye! The Outcasts mug Skye to make her pay for being such a tough fight! But wait, here comes WILLOW NIGHTINGALE! Another woman the Outcasts have pissed off is here! Willow runs Storm & Ruby off and helps Skye up. Will the NJPW Strong Women’s Champion put the bullies in their place?
Backstage interview with #JungleHook.
Renee is with Jack Perry and the FTW Champion and notes they had a hell of a match last week in that Texas Tornado Tag. How are they feeling? Jack says they’re hyped! The Summer of JungleHook is in full swing. And to be honest, JB is feeling naked next to Hook without a belt of his own. JB said he was gonna get a title this year, so right now, he is officially accepting that Open Challenge for Sanada’s IWGP World Heavyweight Championship! Hook’s reaction? JB has him hold on, because he has been meaning to talk about this with him. After JB wins, they can go back to being a tag team.
As such, Hook isn’t just a tag team partner, he’s JB’s best friend. It’d mean the world to JB if Hook would be in his corner at Forbidden Door. JB offers the fist bump, and Hook returns it. That’s a yes! Will the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil and Tarzan Life look to become a two man power trip?
AEW hears from Bullet Club Gold and FTR
Juice Robinson says, “On a historic Saturday, the first ever Collision, in the first ever main event, you better believe it involves Bullet Club Gold.” Jay White adds, “And FTR, who is the partner that you’re bringing with you to Chicago?” Dax Harwood says it’s “one of the best professional wrestlers to ever step foot in a wrestling ring, CM Punk, he returns. The debut of Collision, Six Man Tag with our best friend.” White says Punk has been around, he’s been in a lot of different locker rooms, but he’s never been in a match with Rock Hard Juice Robinson and King Switch Jay White! The Bang Bang Gang and who is their partner? SAMOA! JOE!!
White says that this homecoming isn’t going to be how Punk dreamed it would be. This ends with guns up. Cash Wheeler says that Samoa Joe, Jay White & Juice Robinson, at Collision’s debut show, “it’s clobbering time.” #TopGuysOut. Just how big of a collision will this premiere main event be?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!

BUT WILL OSPREAY IS HERE?! HOOK KICK for Omega!! The Commonwealth Kingpin gets a shot in, reminding Omega that their IWGP United States Championship match is set for Forbidden Door!

Bryan says Ospreay is now his choice for that title match. But wait, Ospreay isn’t done! Underhooks, Canadian Rack, STORMBREAKER!! Callis applauds, mostly because of his grudge against Omega. Wait, Ospreay still isn’t done! One more HIDDEN BLADE!!!
The United Empire’s leader has fired the first shot, and several more shots, and Bryan gives that a standing ovation. Will the IWGP US Championship return to NJPW with Ospreay?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite here that not only set up a lot more for Collision but also more for Forbidden Door. For Collision, good promo from Punk walking the streets of Chicago, and really good promo from Bullet Club Gold and FTR. I’m surprised there wasn’t anything from Samoa Joe, but maybe he’ll have something to say on ROH or Rampage this week. And great to see that Miro and Andrade are each going to be in action right from the start on Collision. Maybe Andrade rejoins LFI so that they can get in on the Trios Division and have a program with The House of Black.
Great TNT Championship match from Wardlow and Hager, and awesome showing from Skye Blue in a loss to Storm in the Women’s World Championship match. AEW really nailing things with Christian’s tron promo #sarcasm. But I guess Luchasaurus was lying in wait as Arn & Brock chased off Menard & Parker for Luchasaurus to get at Arn. Wardlow VS Luchasaurus for the TNT title on Collision is going to be big stuff, but I feel like Luchasaurus winning would make it all matter. Willow with the save was a nice touch, as we never got the big team match of Outcasts VS everyone else. Willow & Skye VS Storm & Ruby will be good, and is probably the bare minimum one women’s division match Tony gives Collision.
We got just an awesome opener out of Cole and MJF, and I actually really like the time limit draw. It isn’t a loss so Cole isn’t “eliminated” from the running, but MJF doesn’t really lose, so they can circle back to those two at All In or All Out. I like that the NJPW stars are being the proactive ones in setting up Forbidden Door matches, but of course MJF thinks he can just say no to Tanahashi when he’s not the boss. There’s one more week before Forbidden Door, so I fully expect Tony Khan telling MJF he either faces Tanahashi or his title reign is terminated. And good promo from Jungle Boy to accept Sanada’s challenge while also telling Hook they’re sticking together. I don’t know how long that really lasts, it still feels like JB could turn on Hook to go after the FTW title.
Good promo from The Gunns to call out the Hardys but I feel like they’re losing. Though maybe Starks helps out as revenge on The Gunns? Not sure the point of Gunns going after Starks but the booking for Starks has been really weird, and is starting to feel like poor excuses for keeping him away from pretty much all the titles. And great promo from Sammy, Darby and Jericho, as well as Sting and Jericho going bat to bat. I’m thinking Le Sex Gods VS Relentless Icons is going to be the moment Sammy stands up for himself against Jericho, or perhaps even just ditches Jericho, and finally breaks away from Jericho and factions.
Awesome 8 Man Tag tonight, even if throwing Keith Lee back into things was rather hasty. I suppose the Faces winning was the right move, as it gives Cassidy momentum going into Forbidden Door. I love that ZSJ isn’t satisfied just feuding with Samoa Joe as TV Champion VS TV Champion, and neither is Garcia with again becoming ROH Pure Champion. ZSJ & Garcia VS Cassidy & Shibata is going to be awesome stuff as like an appetizer for Forbidden Door. I can’t be sure who wins that, but I’m leaning towards the Faces. Shibata will have momentum going into a match with Garcia, and Cassidy will keep surviving despite being so beat up.
And of course, awesome stuff out of Elite VS BCC in that Six Man Tag. Great win for Hangman & The Bucks, and then just great chaos following that. Eddie Kingston is back, maybe continuing his feud with Claudio for the ROH World Championship, and great continuity that Eddie and Moxley being friends could not bring themselves to throw hands. And then of course Konosuke gets in there to go after pretty much anyone that isn’t BCC, even though he isn’t officially in BCC either.
Omega returning was also great, and then Ospreay showing up outta nowhere was also great. But wow, he sure piled on the damage on Omega. Ospreay may stand tall here, but I feel like that doesn’t make the go-home math in Omega’s favor. I still think because of the BCC and Callis, Omega is going to lose the title so Ospreay can defend it in NJPW events. And with NJPW’s G1 Climax coming up in July and August, there wouldn’t be any other opportunity for someone to take the US title off Omega, so at least Ospreay would be carrying that belt around and adding days to his reign during the tournament.
My Score: 8.8/10

Garcia fires off on Perry, throws him into the side of the bus, “You thought this was a game?!” Garcia stomps Perry, and he frees Menard from the chain. Garcia stands Perry up abut Menard has an idea. Menard takes the camera, but Collision goes to break. What hell will Garcia put Perry through a week before Full Gear?
Lio Rush speaks.
“I am sick and tired of feeling the way that I’ve been feeling lately. Lost and confused on where I stand with the people that surrounded me. It’s really hard to know exactly who you are when you lose the matches that mean the most. But then I take a deep breath, I look at my watch, and I remember that I’m the Man of the Hour. I came to AEW to collect titles. I’m a 30-year-old piece of gold, and I pray that the people I call friends get on the same page. Because it’s only a matter of time before Lio Rush is rushing to the top.”
Garcia has Perry tied to the hood of the bus!
Garcia shouts at Perry that he was waiting for a reason! Garcia and Menard get in the bus, and they take Perry for a ride! They go through guard rails, up a ramp, and perhaps even into town! Will the Scapegoat end up a bug on a windshield?

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Renee Paquette is with the #BornAgainKristen and says that we’re just one week away from Kris VS Mercedes Mone for the TBS Championship at Full Gear. Things have already gotten out of control, from Mone & Kamille trying to run Kris over with a car, and then Kris tackles them through a wall. Once the bell rings, what can we expect? Kris says, “Anything and everything.” Mone is one of the best, will do anything she can to win, and is most dangerous when she’s cornered, where she is right now. Everything she’s tried hasn’t worked because Kris is still standing. Kris will be the one standing tall as the NEW TBS Champion.
In steps Hikaru Shida with enthusiastic applause. The Shining Samurai tells Kris that she just wants to wish her luck. It’s about time someone beats Mone’s boney ass! And when Kris becomes the new champion, Shida will gladly be her first challenger. Kris says alright, sure. But here’s another idea: Kris is always open for a challenge any time, especially against #HolyShida, the only THREE-TIME AEW Women’s World Champion. So how about this? Wednesday Night Dynamite, Shida VS Kris. Shida’s all for it! They shake hands, but will fighting Shida be a little too much before going to Full Gear? Or will it prove Kris is still The Galaxy’s Greatest?
Backstage interview with The Acclaimed.
Lexy Nair is with Max Caster & Anthony Bowens ahead of their huge Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series match with La Faccion Ingobernable. But where is Billy Gunn? Caster asks that more importantly, where are their heads going into the match? Because Caster just has to say, as the Best Wrestler Alive, he’s feeling real confident. Bowens says for Lexy’s actual question, Billy will be here. What Caster was trying to say is that The Acclaimed do feel great, because they are one match away from joining that Fatal 4, where they will become TWO-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions in the Scissor King’s home state of New Jersey!
And when they win, The Acclaimed will celebrate with one big scissoring, because EVERYONE LOVES THE ACCLAIMED! Ain’t that right, Lexy? Oh, wait, MVP steps in, Shelton Benjamin by his side. The Hurt Syndicate just wants to wish The Acclaimed luck. The Syndicate handled their business, so Caster & Bownes should handle theirs. Oh, and Max, use your size and strength. This is a big opportunity, don’t blow it. The Syndicate heads out, but will The Acclaimed win to impress MVP? Or to get back where they belong?
“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs VS Bulk Bronson w/ The Iron Savages!
The return of the Powerhouse is truly big for AEW, but all the Iron Savages are big. And Jacked Jameson wants everyone to hold on. The fat morons and skinny idiots of Albany can shut up.

But here’s some news: all these losers are going on a vegan diet! There will be no meat tonight! Because they are The Iron Savages, sippin’ sauce and livin’ hoss while they take all the Low T Meatriders to #TIDDYCITY! Guess Bronson can do it, too?

Lexy is now with Roderick Strong, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett. She congratulates Roddy for getting his third win via Lance Archer. Roddy now faces MJF at Full Gear, so how is he feeling? How’s he feeling? First, thanks for all that, Lexy, he appreciates it. Second, “MAAAX! You have seven days. Seven days from right now until you’re standing across the ring from me, Max. And look, I got a lot to say, and on Wednesday, you’re gonna hear it all, but I just wanna leave you with this: Max, you walk around here thinking you’re smarter than everybody, you’re better than everybody. I don’t think you realize what you’ve gotten yourself into.
“I am the Messiah of the Backbreaker. I am a damn wrestling legend! And when Full Gear ends, you’re gonna realize that I’m better than you, and you know it!” Roddy is ready to throw it all back in MJF’s face, but will the Wolf of Wrestling have a contingency plan?

The MVP Arena is ready to party with the champs, and Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy are ready to watch the final match of the contenders’ series! Who joins Private Party, The Outrunners, and The Kings of the Black Throne at Full Gear?
Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series: Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Jake “The Snake” Roberts VS The Acclaimed w/ Billy Gunn!
Platinum Max of course has a diss track. “These dudes gotta be embarrassed. You ’bout to lose bigger than Kamala Harris! LFI in a title match is outta place. It’s like Mexicans being managed by Jake the Snake! I would’ve called the committee, but you’re lucky Albany’s a sanctuary city!” Bowens takes over to say, “ALBANAAAAAY~! The Acclaimed have arrived! Scissor me, Daddy Ass~!” And he does~! But Caster doesn’t? The teams sort out, and while Caster wants to, Bowens convinces him to let Bowens start.

PROGRAMMING NOTE for next week!
With Full Gear being next Saturday, November 23rd, Collision takes a week off! We’ll see everyone back here in two weeks on November 30th!
Backstage interview with Mina Shirakawa.
Lexy is with the Fighting Gravure Idol and congratulates her on her win in her return. Mina says yes, she is so back to have come back here, and she is so excited for Mariah’s match. Lexy says Mina already has multiple championships, is AEW gold on her mind at all? Mina says she’s just excited for Mariah’s match. But that’s not a no… Time to dance! Mina shimmies her way on out, but will she end up wanting something more than just fun with her friend?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Lexy is now with Mark Briscoe, Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii, and she notes that in a couple weeks, Dynamite: Thanksgiving Eve, it will be Tomohiro Ishii VS Chris Jericho for the ROH World Championship. How is Ishii feeling? The Stone Pitbull is stone-faced, so Mark Briscoe “translates” what #BigTom is exuding with his aura. This is what he’s trying to say: Jericho, your days are numbered! You better shine that title up real nice, sleep with it real close, because soon, it’s getting up outta there! “Learning Tree my ass, you about to learn a lesson about humility! You about to learn a lesson about gettin’ your ass whooped!”
Mark asks if they understand what he’s saying, and Rocky says yeah, he’s picking up what Mark’s putting down. Rocky’s digging the energy, and he feels the intensity. But he has to know one thing: What is the word of the day? That’s a hell of a question, Rocky, because today, it is a menagerie of words! Take a basket, reach in, pull out the word of the day, and well, it’s tenacious! Tenacity! Ferocious! Velocity! Ferocity! He’s tellin’ ya, long story short, that title is coming back to the Conglomeration, courtesy of Tomohiro Ishii! Jericho, you gettin’ your ass whooped, son! RARARARA!
Mark may be fire on the outside, but Ishii is fire on the inside. Will The Learning Tree be burned down either way?
Backstage interview with FTR.
Lexy notes that this past Wednesday, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood came up short in their own Full Gear Contenders Series match. Where are their heads out right now? Cash says he wishes he had an answer, because he doesn’t really know. FTR doesn’t know where they go from here. They wish it was just one bad night, but the truth of the matter is, FTR lost those titles a little over a year ago and have had chances to get them back where they just haven’t. Maybe it’s FTR. Maybe their time has passed them. Maybe they need to reevaluate. Dax agrees. But on Dynamite, the better team won on that night.
While FTR could cry about it, or they could rebuild. Therefore, they will rebuild. This may not be FTR’s time, but it is someone’s time. It is The Outrunners’ time! And maybe after Full Gear, we get an FTRunners dream match for those titles. Boys, they’re pulling for you. Speaking of, we’re about to hear from The Outrunners right now!
The Outrunners speak.
Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd have another retro style video in old standard definition, saying they’ve got the looks and the attitude, so you know they’ve got “the stuff!” It’s a highlight reel of their match with Top Flight, even using retro graphics in the editing. You gotta have the meat! And right now, they’re sizzling! But will Truth & Turbo be prime A1 material at Full Gear? Or will they end up well done?
AEW Women’s World Championship No Disqualifications Match: Mariah May VS Anna Jay!
The Battle of the Belts was a Title Eliminator that went The Queenslayer’s way, only for The Glamour to get her revenge in the proper title match. However, all the back and forth, the bullying and the brawling, it has led to this rubber match! And as if No Disqualifications isn’t raising the stakes enough, Anna promises that if she loses, this is the last time she challenges Mariah for the title! Will this last chance be just the chance Anna needs to become The Star of the Show? Or will AEW still be All About Mariah?

The fans fire up as Anna keeps going, and she sits the chair up nearby. Anna drags Mariah up, but Mariah fires body shots! DDTÂ onto the chair! Anna falls back while Mariah snarls. Mariah grabs the trash can and puts it around Anna! Mariah drums on the can, then goes to a corner.
Mariah climbs, Anna stands, and Mariah MISSILE DROPKICKS Anna down! Cover, TWO! Anna survives but Mariah just goes outside to look under the ring. The fans fire up in anticipation, and Mariah grins as she brings out a LADDER! Mariah pushes that ladder into the ring, stomps Anna around, then drags the ladder up. The ladder is propped up in a corner, then whips Anna, but Anna reverses! Mariah avoids hitting the ladder, but Anna has the QUEENSLAYER SLEEPER! Mariah flails, reaches out, but Anna hops on as a backpack! Only for Mariah to SENTON onto the ladder!
The fans fire up while both women are down, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Mariah sputters and coughs while she crawls to ropes. Mariah rolls out of the ring and hurries to look under the ring again. Mariah brings out a new chair, but Anna has brought out one of her own! They each slide the chairs in, and then they add more chairs! And more chairs! So many chairs! They both storm in, armed with chairs, and they CLASH! Mariah is disarmed, so Anna SMACKS her down!

Albany gets what they want because here comes a TABLE! Anna brings this up to a TLC as she pushes the table into the ring.
Anna hurries in to set the table up while Mariah crawls and cries in pain. Anna has the table set just right, but she stomps Mariah first. Anna bumps Mariah off the buckles, then hoists her up top.

Best friends get to celebrate Mariah’s victory, and then Mariah KICKS ANna in the side! Mina says no, Mariah, you already did enough! Mariah accepts that, and BREAKING NEWS from Tony Khan: Now that Mariah has retained her title, she and Mina will have their championship champagne celebration for Full Gear! Will no one ever stop Mariah’s reign of glamour?
Jon Moxley speaks.
The Maniac is with Marina Shafir in the parking lot as he says, “I’ve underestimated Orange Cassidy. I’ve pushed him in the ring before, but this sport’s about so much more than what goes on between the ropes. I thought when I broke Chuck Taylor’s neck, one of two things would happen: Either he would turn into a shaky puddle of tears, and I’d walk right over him; or he’d be backed into a corner and he’s snap back, bringing the animal out of Orange Cassidy. Neither of those two things happened, and now I see it for the first time. I don’t think he even went to the hospital with Chuck Taylor.
“He acts like he’s so sad, and that young Wheeler’s traveled down a path he doesn’t approve of, but he doesn’t care. He’s full of it. Now I see it for the first time. I can’t believe I didn’t see it before. Orange Cassidy is a snake. Cold-blooded, reptilian, unnerved. The test will be this Wednesday, when you face your beloved former student who you claim to care about. Will you strike with venomous intent? Or will you keep it clean? Cold-blooded opponent, that is a different challenge entirely, this is gonna be harder than I thought. But man, I wish I was cold-blooded. But I’m not. No. I feel everything.
“Not just the weight of the AEW World Championship, but I feel the weight of the last five years. I feel the weight of the dreams and aspirations of every single wrestler who walks through these doors. I feel the weight of everybody’s mistakes and broken promises. I feel the weight of every single AEW fan who buys a ticket and pays for parking, and takes off work, and gives us their hard-earned money, and time, and energy, because AEW is something they believe in! What AEW could be! You don’t like the way I do things? November 23rd, you’re gonna have a chance.
“Lop my head off. Let it hit the dirt and roll at your feet. Reach down and pick up that crown, put it on your head. See if you like how it feels. At Full Gear, I smear Orange Cassidy’s blood on our flag, and I plant it in the ground so hard, it will never get moved. You wanna ride with me? You wanna ride in MY AEW? We ride into battle every single day to grab pro-wrestling by the balls, and you better be ready to die on your shield every single day! And if you’re not, get out. Or you will get taken out.” The Maniac has issued his ultimatum, will Freshly Squeezed heed it?
AEW Collision wraps with the November to Remember music video.
Set to November Rain by Guns ‘n’ Roses, we look back even as far as the last time Jon Moxley and Orange Cassidy feuded, which included their battle over the AEW International Championship at Full Gear 2023. There are also highlights to hype up the TNT Championship match of Jack Perry VS Daniel Garcia, and the long-awaited grudge match between Jay White and Hangman Page. Who will truly make this a November to Remember when they stand tall in the November rain?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision, and I forgot that this counts as the go-home Collision with Full Gear next week. The music video recap package to end the show is really well done, and makes a good ending moment, but then it makes other promos a little redundant. Honestly, why not wait to use this as the cold open to Full Gear next Saturday? This would be an awesome PPV opening video. And good closing promo from Moxley, with good spin on Cassidy’s aloof nature. Maybe Cassidy’s cold, or maybe he’s in control of his emotions. I suppose Cassidy VS Yuta on Dynamite will give some of that away.
Great stuff with the TNT Championship story. Garcia VS Johnny was a really good match, even with MXM getting involved. Perry abducting Menard in an attempt to tow him behind the bus was wild, but I like how Garcia turned the tables on Perry. I kinda wish we got a little more of their “joyride” through Albany and New York, but maybe we get more of that on Dynamite. Either way, it feels like Garcia already has the “standing tall” part of the go-home math, meaning he loses at Full Gear. Maybe Perry will cheat his way out of the match so that Garcia can still be strong in defeat.
Really good match from Shelton and Komander but of course Shelton won. Good promo from Hurt Syndicate with The Acclaimed to keep up the recruit tease, and very good match from Acclaimed VS LFI. Good win for The Acclaimed, and you can bet that the Fatal 4 Way will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Caster was even distancing himself in his own way here, with not wanting to scissor finger before the match and other little details. Caster can turn on Bowens and join the Hurt Syndicate to start on a singles championship story with them. Lio Rush likely will, too, given his promo.
Very good promo from Conglomeration to hype up Thanksgiving Eve and the ROH World Championship match of Ishii VS Jericho. Still doesn’t feel like Jericho’s losing, though, as he really only just got the title and there’s still this idea of Jericho being responsible for ROH getting a TV deal. Y’know, the same way he’s kayfabe responsible for Collision happening so that he could be on another show separate from… Whoever he was feuding with back then. Very good promo from Roddy to call out MJF, though he literally says he’ll talk more on Dynamite so what was the point of tonight? Just filling time?
Great match for Hobbs to get back on a winning track in singles action, and the “All Star 8 Man” on Wednesday will be great stuff. I feel like Brian Cage or Lance Archer takes the loss in that match, giving momentum to Ricochet and Ospreay going into each of the Full Gear grudge matches. With that, Ricochet maybe pulls off the International Championship win, but Ospreay probably does not win because of Don Callis Family cheating. As for Hobbs himself, The Continental Classic is coming, maybe he gets in on that and really dominates. Hobbs and Okada would be a lot of fun to see, I kinda hope we get that.
Great opener from Mina VS Harley as Harley continues to build her in-ring skill and impress. I like Mina kinda dodging the question about titles here in AEW, because she doesn’t wanna give away that she wants THE AEW Women’s World Championship. Mariah VS Anna was a great main event, they really busted out some good stuff. Mariah using the hair spray was a very clever way to turn things around and help her win. Mariah and Mina having their celebration on Full Gear, I feel like that’s the moment things go sideways in this friendship.
My Score: 8.8/10

Hikaru Shida VS Leila Grey!
The Shining Samurai continues her comeback, looking to carve a path back to a championship. But the Top Flight Attendant only just called out the ROH Women’s World Champion, Athena, last night on ROH TV. Will Leila be flying high towards her Proving Grounds match with The Fallen Goddess? Or will Shida use Leila as just another tune-up?
The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. The two tie up, Leila wrenches and wristlocks to YANK the arm. Leila keeps on the wristlock but Shida handsprings and wrenches back. Shida hammerlocks, headlocks, but Leila fires body shots. Leila powers up and out, but Shida runs Leila over! The fans fire up, and things keep moving. Shida rolls over Leila’s dropdown, then bypasses Leila. Leila stops the hip toss to fire body shots and knees! Leila goes to run but Shida reels her in. Shida lifts with the waistlock, and she swings Leila around, before the SLAM! The fans fire up with Shida and she goes outside.
Shida brings Leila to the apron, CLUBS her, then lines up a shot. Shida runs in to KNEE LIFT! The fans fire up again and Shida hurries back in. Shida brings Leila up, fireman’s carries, but Leila flails with forearms and elbows. Leila sunset flips, TWO! Leila ROCKS Shida, UPPERCUTS, then kicks low. Leila KICKS high, then kicks a leg out, to run and SHOTGUN! Shida tumbles, Leila covers, TWO! Shida stays in this but Leila stays on her. Leila bumps Shida off buckles, then she runs Shida side to side to bump off more buckles. Leila CHOPS and the fans “WOO~!” Leila smiles and puts some stank on the CHOP!
Leila swings but Shida dodges the third chop, to ROCK Leila! Shida whips, Leila reverses, and Leila SHINING WIZARDS in the corner! Then BULLDOG! Cover, TWO! Shida is tougher than that but Leila stalks her. The fans rally up, Leila brings Shida around, and Leila fires a forearm! Shida fires one in return! Leila fires again, but Shida ROCKS Leila! Leila ROCKS Shida! The fans rally up and Shida feeds off the energy. Shida fires forearm after forearm, but Leila takes a swing! Shida dodges, wrenches, and short arm LARIATS! The fans fire up and Shida is after Leila in a corner. Shida climbs up, and she rains down fists!
The fans fire up and count all the way to TEN! Shida roars then kicks Leila away. Shida MISSILE DROPKICKS! Down goes Leila! Shida hurries to cover, TWO! Leila stays in this but Shida takes aim. KATA- NO, Leila deflects! Roll up, TWO!! Shida is up, blocks a boot, and swings, but into a full nelson! Shida wrenches out, BOOTS Leila’s lariat, then QUESTION MARK KICKS! Shida suplexes for the FALCON ARROW! Cover, Shida wins!
Winner: Hikaru Shida, by pinfall
Leila kicks at 3.1, that’s too little too late! Will Leila at least last ten minutes against Athena next week? Will Shida be the one poised for a title shot after Full Gear?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee Paquette is with the crazy Aussie, who keeps pawing at her, and brings up the match Harley’s made for Collision with Mina Shirakawa. Harley asks Renee, does she know what Mina has that Harley doesn’t? No, what is it? NOTHING!! Mina is beautiful, charismatic, and talented. But can she do THIS?! Harley brings out a guitar and starts to play! Harley was a musician, y’know. Oh, wait, there’s a string missing. Never mind, she’s professional! Harley starts adlibbing a Blues-esque song. There once was a little girl. And by “little,” Harley doesn’t mean young child, she means just small in stature.
Anyway, and a five, six, seven, eight! Renee stops Harley there, there’s no time. What?! No! FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAM- The cameras cut away back to ringside, but will Harley show Mina and the world everything she’s capable of tomorrow night on Collision?
Mark Briscoe VS Ariya Daivari w/ Mark Sterling!
While Chris Jericho keeps disrespecting the legacy of Jay Briscoe, it will be Tomohiro Ishii that handles him. Tonight, the Sussex County Chicken is to focus on himself and the Premier Athletes’ son of privilege. “Smart” Mark takes over introductions by saying Ariya Daivari is about to wrestle “literally the dumbest person in AEW.” Mark is so stupid, really. So please, show the world that Bridgeport is smarter than a Briscoe by reading what is right on the Premier Athletes’ brand new merch shirt: Athletes Rule. Daivari says when he says “Athletes,” the fans should say, “Rule!” and NOTHING ELSE! Got it!?
Okay, hands in. Ohhh… “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Briscoe laughs because the only dumb Mark here is Mark Sterling. But will Briscoe prove that what matters in the ring is street smarts? Or can Daivari prove that Premier Athletes don’t suck?
The bell rings and Briscoe circles with Daivari. They tie up as fans rally, and Briscoe pushes Daivari back. Daivari turns things around to put Briscoe in a corner, and lets off as the ref counts. Daivari shouts, “ATHLETES!” but fans again shout “SUCK!!” Briscoe SHOVES Daivari down and the fans fire up. Briscoe and Daivari circle, tie up, and Briscoe headlocks. Daivari powers up and out, but Briscoe runs him over! The fans fire up and things keep moving. Daivari drops down, Briscoe slides under, and then Briscoe REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUTS! And ROLLING ELBOWS! The fans fire up more while sterling protests.
Briscoe whips Daivari, then UPPERCUTS again! The fans fire up as Daivari goes to a corner. Briscoe storms up to bring Daivari around, for a suplex high and hard! Cover, TWO! Daivari is tougher than that so Briscoe shrugs it off. Briscoe fires hands, Daivari staggers around, but Briscoe CHOPS him in a corner! Briscoe then REDNECK CRANE KICKS! The fans fire up and Briscoe brings Daivari up, but Daivari JAWBREAKERS back! Daivari TOSSES Briscoe out, but the ref has Sterling stay back. Daivari goes out to get Briscoe, but Briscoe sends Daivari into railing! The fans fire up while Daivari writhes, and Briscoe stands him up.
Briscoe CHOPS Daivari, high-fives fans, then CHOPS Daivari again. Briscoe then brings Daivari around to SMACK off a chair! The fans fire up as Briscoe makes Daivari take a seat. Briscoe refreshes the count, then runs up to BOOT Daivari down! The fans fire up more, and Briscoe UPPERCUTS Daivari again. Daivari goes to more railing but Briscoe CHOPS him down again. Briscoe tosses a chair into the ring, HEADBUTTS Daivari, then slides into the ring. Briscoe sets up the chair and the fans fire up! Sterling panics as Briscoe builds speed, so Sterling snatches the chair away! The fans boo but Briscoe goes out after Sterling!
Sterling defends his innocence but Daivari CLUBS Briscoe! And hits a NECKBREAKER on the floor! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Well, clearly Sterling doesn’t learn, but Daivari is control as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Daivari drags Briscoe up and into the ring, then grabs the legs, so he can stomp Briscoe’s gut! Briscoe sputters his way to a corner but Daivari digs his boots in! The ref counts, Sterling cheers, but Daivari lets off. Daivari argues with the ref, so Sterling CHOKES Briscoe! The fans boo but Sterling gets away with it. Daivari whips Briscoe hard into a corner! Briscoe sits down, and Daivari stomps him some more! Daivari snapmares Briscoe, KNEES him in the back, then clamps on a neck wrench. The ref reprimands the fishhook in there, but Daivari shifts to a chinlock. Daivari grinds Briscoe down, but Briscoe endures.
Fans rally up and Briscoe fights to his feet. Rampage returns to single picture as Briscoe fires body shots! Briscoe fires forearms but Daivari knees low! Daivari CLAWS Briscoe’s face, puts him in a corner, then hoists him up top. The fans rally for “DEM BOYS! DEM BOYS!” but Daivari CHOPS Briscoe. Daivari climbs up, brings Briscoe up, but Briscoe fires body shots! Briscoe DECKS Daivari, the fans fire up, but Sterling springs into action! The ref reprimands, Sterling argues with him, and Daivari runs up! Briscoe leaps over Daivari, but Daivari dodges the boot! SLEEPER! The fans boo but Briscoe RAMS Daivari into a corner!
Daivari holds on but Briscoe RAMS him in again and again! Briscoe is finally free, but Daivari then hammerlocks! LION’S LARIAT! And then a wrench, spin, LION’S DDT! Cover, TWO!! Briscoe survives Daivari’s double down and the fans fire up! Daivari throws hands but Briscoe feeds off it! The fans fire up as Briscoe mans up! Daivari headlocks, Briscoe powers out, but Daivari RAMS Briscoe! Briscoe roars! Daivari runs and RAMS Briscoe again! And again! Then Daivari fires hands! But Briscoe blocks to ROCK Daivari! And ROCK him again! And again! REDNECK PALM STRIKES! Briscoe puts Daivari in a corner!
Briscoe rains down fists and the fans count to TEN! Briscoe hops down, the fans fire up, and Briscoe CLOBBERS Daivari! And CLOBBERS him again! Briscoe whips, Daivari reverses, but Briscoe FLYING FOREARMS! The fans fire up with Briscoe and he runs at the corner. LARIAT, and then FISHERMAN BUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Daivari survives but Briscoe calls his shot! Briscoe drags Daivari up, reels him in, but Daivari fights the underhooks! Daivari wrenches, dodges a lariat, and SUPERKICKS! Briscoe wobbles, but he eggs Daivari on! Daivari runs up, into a ROLLING DEATH VALLEY! Daivari is down and Briscoe climbs up!
Sterling distracts Briscoe, and Daivari has time to hit the ropes! That trips Briscoe up! Briscoe tumbles to the m at, and Daivari hauls Briscoe up. Wait, Daivari underhooks the arms?! That’s blasphemy! But Briscoe powers up and out with a backdrop! And now Briscoe brings Daivari in, only for Sterling to get on the apron! The ref reprimands, Briscoe warns Sterling, but it’s ROCKY ROMERO that YANKS Sterling down! Daivari whips Briscoe, Briscoe reverses to TOSS Daivari! Rocky gets Briscoe the chair! Briscoe sets it up, and he takes FLIGHT! Down goes Daivari & Sterling! Briscoe puts Daivari in, climbs up, FROGGY-BOW!! Cover, Briscoe wins!
Winner: Mark Briscoe, by pinfall
The Conglomeration comes through for each other again, and that helps Briscoe win! But Azucar has his own match tonight, will he be feeling even sweeter after taking on Komander?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
With the confrontations we’ve seen from them all, we see Will Ospreay join forces with Will Hobbs, Mark Davis & Ricochet against Konosuke Takeshita, Kyle Fletcher, Brian Cage & Lance Archer!

Rampage returns and the bell rings. The fans rally as Azucar and Commander of the Skies circle, but Montel Vontavious Porter is watching backstage…? Who business could MVP and The Hurt Syndicate have here? Rocky and Komander tie up, Komander wrenches and wristlocks. Rocky rolls then DROPKICKS! Rocky gives some Latino Heat, then waits on Komander. The two reset, circle, and tie up again. Rocky waistlocks, SLAMS, then flips Komander, maybe a little too much. Rocky flips Komander over again but Komander kips up to arm-drag! Komander gives some Latino Heat of his own, and Rocky can’t help but smile.
The fans rally as Komander and Rocky feel things out. They knuckle lock, go shoulder to shoulder, and the fans cheer the Test of Strength. Rocky powers Komander back, then MONKEY FLIPS! Rocky rolls back but Komander blocks the mount to then go up and MONKEY FLIP back! It’s a double cover, TWO as both men bridge! The fans cheer this exchange, and the two roll to their feet. Komander kicks one knuckle lock apart to then go up and ARABIAN PRESS ARM-DRAG! Rocky is back up fast, and he hurdles, drops under, then hurdles again. Komander leaps over, keeps moving, and he springboards to FLYING ARM-DRAG!
The fans fire up while Rocky bails out. Komander builds speed to DIVE! Down goes Rocky and the fans fire up again! Komander feeds off the energy to put Rocky in the ring. Komander goes up a corner, takes aim, but Rocky moves. Komander rolls through, comes back, and dodges to then handspring and- FACEBUSTER from Rocky! Cover, TWO!

Komander kicks back but Rocky CHOPS Komander again. Komander flounders along ropes, but Rocky has him again. Komander turns things around to CHOP back! The fans and Abrahantes fires up as Komander fires off CHOPS and KICKS! The ref counts, Komander lets off, but Rocky sucker punches him! Rocky has Komander in the corner now, hoists him up again, but then traps him on the top rope by lacing the legs!
Komander flails while Rocky gets space. Rocky runs up to TOP SHELF KNEE! Komander falls in a heap, but Rocky wants us to watch. Sliding pose! Rocky goes back for Komander but Komander kicks at him. Rocky brings Komander up to CLUB him down. Rocky then stalks Komander, CLUBS him again, and stalks him to ropes. Rocky brings Komander into a waistlock, but shoves him to ropes to ROCK him in the back! Komander drops to his knees, but Rocky stands him up. Rocky shoves and ROCKS Komander again! Cover, TWO! Komander stays tough but Rampage goes to break.
Rampage returns and the fans fire up for Komander as he goes up, up, salutes, and ARIHARA MOONSAULTS Rocky down! The fans fire up and MVP is impressed. Komander puts Rocky in, the fans rally behind “KO-MAN-DER!” But Rocky intercepts the flight for a fireman’s carry! Komander slips free, suplexes, but Rocky slips free. Rocky shoves but Komander DROPKICKS! The fans fire up and Komander runs corner to corner to go up and up, MOONSAULT, into BOOTS! Komander staggers, into SLICED BREAD! Cover, TWO! Rocky is frustrated but he hurries to bring Komander back up. Rocky whips, but Komander tiger feints and rolls!
Komander goes up and has Rocky with a dragon sleeper! Inverted suplex, for a POWERSLAM into the corner!! The fans fire up as Komander sets Rocky in the drop zone. Komander climbs, tightrope walks, CIELITO LINDO!! Cover, Komander wins!
Winner: Komander, by pinfall
MVP nods, maybe he saw things not even he expected out of this match. Will Komander prove he’s not just worthy of MVP’s attention but of AEW’s attention? And with it, perhaps a title opportunity?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Lexy Nair is with The Queenslayer and notes her AEW Women’s World Championship match set for Collision tomorrow night. It is No Disqualifications, and if Anna wins, she is the NEW champion. But if she loses… Anna will never challenge Mariah May for the title again. Anna says it is worth that risk. It is worth seeing Mariah’s eyes bulging out of her head until she passes out. With no rules, Anna is capable of anything. But in steps Taya Valkyrie, applauding and saying yes, Anna is capable of anything. But so is Mariah. And Mina Shirakawa could be anywhere. Maybe Anna wants some extra insurance? And by the way, The Vendetta does accept cash.
Anna says she can handle her business, so Taya can mind her own. Taya tells Anna okay, okay. But Deonna Purrazzo sends her regards. Stay safe out there. Anna says no, she won’t. Will Anna finally be The Star of the Show when she tears down Mariah? Or will The Virtuosa & La Wera Loca have something to say about that?
Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Dralistico VS Alex Price & Richard Holliday!
Just 24 hours ahead of their Collision with The Acclaimed, La Faccion Ingobernable’s two bulls are looking to stampede! Will they be more than ready for the Full Gear Contenders Series?
The teams sort out and Mortos starts against Price, and just CLBOBERS him at the bell! Mortos keeps moving, Price drops then jumps, but into a SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans fire up and Mortos SMACKS Price! Mortos whips Price, Price ducks ‘n’ dodges, then goes up and over! Price DROPKICKS, DROPKICKS, and fires up! But then Mortos POP-UP SAMOAN DROPS him! Tag to Rush, and El Toro Blanco looms over Price. Rush stands Price up to CHOP him down! Rush eggs Holliday on, then SPITS at him! The fans boo but Price tags Holliday. Holliday steps to Rush, but Rush shoves him! Holliday UPPERCUTS!
The fans fire up but Rush CHOPS! Rush pie faces Holliday but Holliday fires up! Only for Rush to whip him into a corner and SPLASH! Snapmare and basement DROPKICK! Holliday bails out but Rush pursues. Rush CHOPS, then throws Holliday into railing. Rush dribbles Holliday off the railing, rains down fists, but the ref counts. Rush says leave him alone, but the ref warns him. Rush stops, then he puts Holliday in the ring. Rush snarls and storms back into the ring. Mortos CHOKES Holliday, the ref reprimands, but this lets Dralistico throw Price into steel steps! Rush whips Holliday corner to corner hard!
Rush DECKS Holliday with a forearm, stomps away on him, and goes corner to corner! “If you mess with the bull…!” BULL’S HORNS! Cover, LFI wins!
Winners: Rush & The Beast Mortos, by pinfall
This probably could’ve been over soon, but LFI likes to play with their food. But will they be much more to the point against Max Caster & Anthony Bowens?
Backstage interview with MVP.
Lexy is with Montel Vontavious Porter and brings up how he’s been watching matches here and there. Is he scouting talent? Absolutely! And as he’s been getting the lay of the land here in AEW, MVP sees so many young and gifted athletes with so much untapped potential. Some of them need motivation. Some need perhaps better management. And some just need to be hurt, beaten down again and again, to their knees. Because only when you’ve broken a man down to his knees can you teach him to stand and put him on the path to success. MVP says Swerve Strickland is a perfect example. So much to learn and yet he just won’t listen.
That is arrogance. It is that arrogance that the fans love, but it is also Swerve’s greatest weakness. Swerve thinks that one man can beat three. That is arrogance. Swerve calls himself the most dangerous man in AEW. With Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin around, that is arrogance. And arrogance, like pride, goeth before the fall. So MVP is paying attention to everything. For example, tonight, where MVP will be watching Ricochet in the main event. Oh, and that young luchador, Komander, what an impressive match. MVP likes that. And then tomorrow night on Collision, Shelton will find out exactly what Komander is made of, and what lessons he needs to learn.
The business plan has been set out, but will The Hurt Syndicate find the diamonds in the rough they are looking for? Or is it all fool’s gold compared to what they already have?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
On top of Shelton Benjamin VS Komander, and on top of the AEW Women’s World Championship No Disqualification match, Will Hobbs gets back into singles action as he takes on Bulk Bronson! With that All Star 8 Man Tag coming up, will going big be just the thing to power up the Powerhouse? Plus, relive the best of the last two weeks as the special AEW “November to Remember” music video debuts, set to Guns ‘n’ Roses’ hit song, November Rain!
Ricochet VS Dante Martin!
MVP just told the world he is watching this match, but surely so is The Don Callis Family. Will The One & Only show them something #OuttaThisWorld? Or will Angel Dorado remind us why he was the hottest high flyer not too long ago?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Ricochet and Dante shake hands to show there is respect here. They circle, tie up, and Ricochet headlocks for a takeover. Dante headscissors but Ricochet moves around, rolls Dante, then floats to a headlock. Dante fights back up, but Ricochet wrenches to wristlock. Dante goes for ropes but Ricochet keeps him back. Ricochet continues to keep Dante from the ropes, so Dante just front flips on his own! Dante arm-drags free and the fans fire up! Dante and Ricochet hurry to their feet, but Dante knees low! Dante whips but Ricochet blocks and reels Dante in for a back suplex, only for Dante to land on his feet!
Dante bobs ‘n’ weaves, shoves Ricochet, but Ricochet avoids the dropkick! Jackknife bridge, TWO as Dante bridges up! Dante spins Ricochet, but Ricochet turns that to a backslide! TWO, and Ricochet whips. Dante leaps for a sunset flip! Ricochet stays up, tucks Dante for a sunset flip of his own, TWO! Dante swings, Ricochet dodges and rolls back to RANA, but both men get up! Ricochet DROPKICKS Dante down and the fans fire up! We get a shot of MVP once again liking what he sees. Dante goes to a corner, Ricochet runs up, but Dante slips out! Ricochet hits buckles, then Dante goes up, around, and ROCKS Ricochet!
Dante aims but Ricochet runs up. Dante jumps over as Ricochet slides out, and then Dante ASAI MOONSAULTS! Ricochet avoids it, Dante lands on his feet, and now Ricochet goes up a corner to MOONSAULT! Dante dodges and he JUMP KNEES! Ricochet sputters as he leans against the apron, and Dante slides in. Dante keeps moving, but Ricochet springboards! Dante ducks under, runs at Ricochet, but Ricochet goes up and over! Dante puts Ricochet on the apron but Ricochet ENZIGIRIS! Ricochet springboards again, FLYING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Dante survives and the fans fire up as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Dante rolls to the apron but Ricochet goes right after him. Ricochet kicks Dante to the floor, then hops down to fetch him. Ricochet CHOPS Dante, ROCKS him, and Dante staggers around the way. Ricochet fires up the fans, but Dante DAREDEVIL DROPKICKS Ricochet through the corner! Now it’s Dante firing up the fans as he goes after Ricochet. Dante brings Ricochet around to CHOP against the desk! Dante puts Ricochet in the ring, fires back up, and he hurries in, only for Ricochet to CLOBBER him. Ricochet drops another elbow, and another! Dante flounders but Ricochet drags him up. Ricochet CHOPS Dante to a corner.
Ricochet UPPERCUTS Dante, then whips corner to corner. Dante hits buckles so hard, that he tumbles up and over, then to the floor! Ricochet lets the ring count climb a bit, and Dante stirs at 4 of 10. Dante rises, Ricochet eggs him on a bit, but Dante’s still down at 7 of 10. Dante stands at 8 and rolls in, only for Ricochet to drop knees! Ricochet rains down some fists, but the ref reprimands about closes fists. Ricochet swears he was using palm strikes. Ricochet drags Dante up, snapmares, and KICKS him in the back! Ricochet clamps on with a chinlock, and even traps an arm. Ricochet now shifts into a grounded cobra twist!
Dante endures, even as Ricochet throws punches into the ribs. Dante fights, rises up, and fires body shots! Ricochet CHOPS in return! Ricochet then scoops and SLAMS Dante, and Rampage returns to single picture as he climbs a corner. The fans fire up as Ricochet reaches the top, but Dante stands! Ricochet jumps over Dante, but Dante BOOTS him! Dante fires a flurry of forearms but Ricochet shoves him back. Ricochet runs up, Dante again slips to the outside, and Dante ROCKS Ricochet again. Dante springboards up and around for a CARTWHEEL CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO!! Ricochet survives, he runs at Dante, but Dante goes up and over!
Ricochet tumbles out as Dante then builds speed, and Dante DIVES! Direct hit at the ramp but Dante hurries to put Ricochet in. Springboard and MAMBA SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! Ricochet survives and the fans rally up again. Dante waits on Ricochet to rise up, then he half nelsons. Lift and- NO, Ricochet slips free to dragon sleeper! VERTI- NO, Dante slips free! Ricochet arm-drags Dante away, then catches him, Wrench and NORTHERN LIGHTS! Roll through, deadlift, BRAINBUSTER! Ricochet roars while fans are torn, RUNNING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, TWO!! Dante survives and Ricochet is surprised!
MVP is himself a bit frustrated, but Ricochet fireman’s carries. Dante fires elbows, slips free, and goes to run, but Ricochet SUPERKICKS! Ricochet runs up, into an ELBOW! Dante uses the same up and over, only to get caught! BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cover, TWO!! Dante survives and Ricochet snarls. The fans fire up and Ricochet brings Dante up. Ricochet has the dragon sleeper, but Dante fires knees! Dante drops, victory rolls, TWO!! Ricochet catches Dante for a deadlift SAIDO!! The fans fire up as Ricochet takes aim! BANG and SPIRIT GUN!! Cover, Ricochet wins!
Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall
MVP nods, very impressed by The One & Only Ricochet. Ricochet’s arsenal certainly continues to grow, but he still shows respect to Dante. Will this momentum help Ricochet’s team take down The Don Callis Family this Wednesday Night Dynamite?
My Thoughts:
A very good Rampage, even with it being a five match night. Granted, it was clear Shida was going to win her match and LFI were going to win theirs. Well, so was Briscoe, but it was good stuff with Daivari getting a good showing and Rocky cancelling out Sterling so Briscoe would win. Great match from Rocky and Komander, too, and great win for Komander. Though, as MVP plugged in his promo, Komander is certainly losing to Shelton Benjamin, but I do appreciate the idea that anyone just floating around in the midcard could end up Hurt Syndicate material.
Ricochet VS Dante was a great main event, Ricochet of course won, but between being on Team Ospreay for Dynamite and Hurt Syndicate not leaving him alone, there are all kinds of possibilities for Ricochet. And great promos to hype up the two women’s matches we’re getting on Collision. That’s right, we’re getting two women’s matches! Harley continues to be hilarious, and I like this gag that she never has enough time to get her full madness out. Very good promo from Anna with Taya making a surprise appearance. Given Mariah is more than likely to win tomorrow night, Anna needs something outside of titles so I suppose a feud with The Vendetta could be something. Maybe it’s also a way to bring Tay Conti/Tay Melo back into story since it’d be a tag team feud?
My Score: 8.7/10
