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.

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!

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!

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?

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.

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??!!

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? Or will AEW still be on #ToniTime?
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 bell rings and Storm runs in! Skye dodges, and she fires off forearms! Fans fire up with Skye as she has Storm down! Skye CLUBS and KICKS and stomps Storm around, then CLUBS her some more! Storm goes to a corner but Skye CHOPS! And fires off more forearms! The ref counts, Skye lets off but fans fire up more. Skye runs in, but storm puts her out on the apron. Skye ROCKS Storm, then PENALTY KICKS Ruby right through the Saraya cutout she has! Skye climbs, leaps, CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Storm isn’t gonna be beat that easily, but Skye runs, only to miss the Shining Wizard! Storm DUMPS Skye out!
Storm runs, but Skye avoids the hip attack! Storm tumbles out, and Skye gives a HIP ATTACK of her own! Ruby checks Storm, and Mama Blue calls them the losers! Ruby scowls, helps Storm up, and Storm gets in Mama Blue’s face, and sprays her with the green face paint! Fans boo and Skye is furious! Skye DIVES out onto the Outcasts! Fans fire up and Skye hurries to get Storm up, to CLUB Storm again as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Skye seethes, and she brings Storm around, but Storm RAMS her into the apron! Storm then TOSSES Skye into railing! Storm refreshes the ring count, runs in, and HIP ATTACKS Skye against railing! Storm flexes and soaks up the heat before taunting Mama Blue. Storm then stands on Skye and flexes. Storm drags Skye up to CHOKE her against railing! The fans boo but Storm CLUBS away on Skye! Storm puts Skye in the ring, covers, TWO! Skye is hanging tough and Mama cheers her on, but Storm stalks Skye. Storm puts Skye in the corner, to then TOSS her across the way! The ref reprimands, Storm was pulling hair there.
Storm stomps on Skye in the corner and digs her boots in. The ref counts, Storm lets off at 4, and then Storm drags Skye up. But Skye throws body shots in return! Storm CLUBS Skye back down! Storm then scoops Skye for a BACKBREAKER! Storm bends Skye against her knee but Skye endures. Ruby applauds and Storm drags Skye back up, for a SIDEWALK SLAM! Cover, TWO! Skye is still in this but Storm grows annoyed. Storm drags Skye up to snap suplex! Storm kicks Skye around, drags her up and CHOKES her on the ropes! 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!
On top of that star studded Six Man Tag, The Redeemer, MIRO is returning to action! And after tonight’s confrontation. Willow & Skye are turning right around to go after the Outcasts in a 2v2 tag team match! Plus, The House of Black’s Buddy Matthews “welcomes” the returning Andrade El Idolo! Big things are happening, how will the landscape of AEW change after this Collision?
Six Man Tag: Blackpool Combat Club VS Hangman Page & The Young Bucks!
This war isn’t over, as Double or Nothing and Anarchy in the Arena was just the beginning! But will Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta look to end this all here and now? Or will the #HungBucks drag the BCC down until they’re in the dirt?

Nick fires off forearms, whips again, but Moxley reverses! Nick hits buckles so hard, he ends up in a Tree of Woe! Moxley climbs up to stand on Nick’s groin! The ref reprimands, Moxley eggs Hangman on, then hops off Nick. Moxley drags Nick up to then BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO!
Moxley keeps on Nick with a double wristlock! Nick endures, fans rally, and Nick fights his way up. Nick throws hands, gets free, throws more hands, then runs, into a cheap shot from Yuta!

Bryan is furious with Yuta for not surviving that onslaught, but then Claudio & Moxley return to go after The Elite! They’re sore losers, and they TOSS Nick out! Claudio CHOKES Hangman, Moxley TOSSES Nick over railing! Fans boo but then here comes EDDIE KINGSTON!! The Mad King left AEW and fought Claudio in ROH, then went out with injury, but now he’s back! And he goes right after Claudio! Eddie TACKLES Claudio and rains down fists! Fans are going nuts but Yuta gets in! URAKEN for Yuta! Claudio knees Eddie low and fires off, but then Eddie URAKENS him, too!
Eddie clotheslines Claudio out of the ring, but Moxley gets in! These two are friends the last we knew, and their hesitation to throw hands shows it. But then Matt CLOBBERS Moxley and stomps away! Eddie stops Matt and tells him not Moxley. Anyone else but Moxley. But then Moxley shoves everyone! Eddie tries to tell Moxley he’s just here for Claudio, but then KONOSUKE runs down to the ring! Don Callis’ new meal ticket gets in, the Bucks TOSS Moxley, and Konosuke CLOBBERS Eddie from behind!! The Bucks get in Konosuke’s face, but then Moxley RAMS Matt into railing while Konosuke kicks Nick low, and DECKS him!
Fans boo as Don Callis now appears ringside, applauding his new stallion. But wait, KENNY OMEGA is here?! And he rushes right down to get in Konosuke’s face! Omega dares Konosuke to do something, so Konosuke swings on him! The two brawl and DC is electric again! But Konosuke rakes eyes! Konosuke runs, into a V-TRIGGER! The Bucks get in, DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! SNAP DRAGON!! And another SUPERKICK for Yuta! A SUPERKICK for Claudio! TRIPLE PLANCHAS to take out the BCC! Omega steadies himself, he grins and aims his finger gun at Konosuke! BANG, V-TRIGGER for Konosuke!!
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! Fans are losing their minds as Ospreay stares Omega down. Ospreay points at the scar on his eyebrow! This is for WrestleKingdom! HIDDEN BLADE!! 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

PLAY BY PLAY
Adam Cole is here!
Ontario, California fires up for the Panama City Playboy, and he brings his AEW TNT Championship to the ring. The fans join in for the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” Cole grabs a mic to ask, “Who’s ready for Story Time with Adam Cole, Baybay?” Now, the reason he has a giant smile is because this is the 100th episode of Collision! The strides that Collision has made in such a short time is impressive. Cole wants to thank the fans. AEW has the best wrestlers on the planet delivering some of the best matches we’ve ever seen, and dammit, these are the best fans he has ever been in front of!
“AEW is built on the future, and I’m excited about the future. Because right now, I am your TNT Champion, and this title is going nowhere. I am proud of where Collision has been, and I’m proud of where it is going. I am proud to represent TNT as your TNT Champion. I am proud about our future. In 2025 and beyond, I will hold onto this championship, because dammit, I’m Adam Cole, Baybay. And that is undisputed.” The fans cheer, but here comes Kyle Fletcher! The fans are torn as the Protostar has a mic to say, “Pardon the interruption, Adam, but I just wanted to personally congratulate everybody, and especially you, on such a huge milestone. 100 episodes of Collision, that’s huge!
“And you’ve had a fantastic run as the Face of TNT. But the next 100 episodes of Collision and the entire future of this company belong to ME.” The fans are torn on that, too, but Kyle says Cole loves to do story time. How about story time with the Protostar? Now, does Cole remember All In 2023? Of course he does! He main-evented the biggest pro-wrestling show of all time for the AEW World Championship. But earlier that night, he faced a young ‘n’ hungry Kyle Fletcher for the ROH World Tag Team Championships. And while that was the greatest night of Cole’s life, that was the WORST night of Kyle’s!
Cole took away the biggest accomplishment of Kyle’s life, purely to stroke his own ego. But now, Kyle stands here a totally different man. Kyle KILLED that version of Kyle to stand here the most perfect pro-wrestler in the world! Again, the fans are torn, but Kyle says he wants nothing more than to make Cole feel exactly how he did two years ago. So at All In: Texas, Globe Life Field, Kyle wants his shot at HIS TNT Champions! The fans like where this is going! Kyle says everyone int he world knows no one is more deserving of that shot! But wait! Daniel Garcia makes his way out here! The fans cheer as Daniel Garcia joins Kyle on stage.
Garcia asks, “What’s good, Ontario?” And he hears all this talk about the past of Collision, the future of Collision, the future of AEW, the TNT title, but when you talk about those things, you better bring up one name: Daniel Garcia. Now, Fletcher, their match is the main event. Garcia isn’t looking past Kyle, but he would be lying if he said he wasn’t a little distracted. Because when Garcia looks in the ring, he sees the man who beat him for the TNT Championship and that belt over his shoulder. Garcia can only think one thing to himself: “I need that.” Cole says he has all the respect for Garcia, and any time, any place that Garcia wants his shot, he’s got it.
But do not forget, Cole beat him before and he’ll beat him again. As for Kyle, the person living in Lala Land is just lying to himself. Last time, Cole had Kyle beat, and the Don Callis Family had to get involved because they knew it, and Kyle knows it. Cole had his number then and has his number now. So here’s a great idea: Let’s just go All In! Kyle wants his shot at the TNT title, Garcia wants his shot at the TNT title, and Cole is a fighting champion. At All In, he’ll face them both! Kyle says no no no, that’s not gonna happen. Kyle was screwed out of the title once, he won’t do it again. Kyle beat Garcia when he was TNT Champion, and he never got his shot!
Kyle says in a perfect and just world, HE would be here as TNT Champion! Garcia says oh c’mon, Kyle thinks he deserves to be a champion just cuz he beat Garcia? Congrats, who hasn’t beat Garcia? Garcia has been losing for his entire career, for his entire life, but every time he loses, he gets back up. The fans applaud that! Garcia says every time he fails, he gets back up! So Cole, Kyle, he isn’t asking for his shot because he “deserves” one, he wants to earn it. So here’s another idea: Garcia and Kyle are already in a big main event match, but let’s put it all on the line! Garcia VS Kyle, winner goes on to have the biggest match of their lives against Adam Cole for the TNT Championship!
The fans cheer, Kyle is annoyed, but Cole says if that’s how they wanna play it, that’s how they’ll do it. May the best man win. Garcia raised the stakes of tonight’s main event, but will he be ready to go All In? Or will the Aussie Arrow be the one flying to Texas?
Toni Storm speaks.
“This is a message for that the little girl watching from home. The one who begged her parents to buy All In so that she could sit in front of the television to watch the greatest women’s match of all time. It won’t be. It will be a lesson, and the lesson is this: Someone can only hurt you as much as you let them, and when they can’t hurt you anymore, if they hurt the people you love, you have absolutely every right to rip their bloody tits off. Some things in life are not worth fighting for. But if you’re lucky, one thing in your whole life will be worth every last drop of blood. Fortunately for me, that thing happens to be the big shiny gold belt that I wear around my waist.
“What you’re about to witness will change you in foul ways. Probably our mother, too. It won’t be nice, it won’t be pretty, but you will remember it forever. Hopefully, it will discourage you from becoming a wrestler yourself, because there are only two kinds of people in this world: Ruthless, greedy, power-hungry megalomaniacs who will stop at nothing to have it all, and the people who end them. Good night, darling. See you next week.”
Triple Threat: Shelton Benjamin w/ MVP VS Kevin Knight w/ “Speedball” Mike Bailey VS Nick Wayne w/ The Patriarchy!
Montel Vontavious Porter has practically begged for teams to step up to the AEW World Tag Team Championships, and he got what he wanted! #JetSpeed wants their shot, but so does The Patriarchy! This won’t automatically make a title match, but it could go a long way to putting one together. Will The Jet be 2Fly2Stop? Will The Prodigy make Christian Cage proud? Or will neither of them measure up to the Standard of Excellence?
The bell rings and Knight is right after Shelton! Nick bails out to let them brawl, and Shelton CLUBS Knight, then KNEE him down! Nick returns to CLUB Shelton, but that just makes Shelton mad! Nick runs away with a smug grin on his face, but Knight DROPKICKS Shelton! Shelton tumbles out, but he drags Knight out to join him! Shelton LARIATS Knight, then brings him around the way. Shelton RAMS Knight into the apron, then THROWS him into the barrier! And repeat! The fans fire up while Knight slumps against barriers, and Shelton puts him in the ring. But Nick snags the cover, TWO! Shelton storms in but Nick backs off.
Shelton swings, Nick dodges, and Nick handsprings, only for Shelton to catch him! And THROW him away! The fans fire up while Shelton paces.

Oh, wait, speaking of, MJF & MVP interrupt via the tron. MJF asks if MVP saw that amazing finish. This is so exciting! Hologram, go teleport your ass back to the hotel, MJF doesn’t care about you. MJF is here to talk to Mistico and Briscoe, aka Jabroni y El Jabroni. MVP likes that, that’s clever. MJF says he knows Spanish. But MVP says we don’t “talky talk,” that is for poor, uneducated chicken farmers. MVP says men like him and MJF converse. They speak the language of violence.
So let’s converse right now. MJF says Briscoe wants to talk to him one-on-one, but MJF isn’t so sure. Nowadays, he rolls with his clique. When you’re in the Syndicate, you ride together, you die together, they hurt people. But MJF will still consider it. But as for Mistico, MJF knows he’s all excited to be in the gauntlet. IS HE? Because last time MJF checked, he’s gonna beat Briscoe within an inch of his life and pin him before anybody gets a chance to make an entrance. So now, they can go back to do what poor people do. MJF doesn’t know what that is, maybe count food stamps or something. MVP, talk us out.
MVP says he appreciates all the enthusiasm, but they’re way out of their league. MVP tells Mistico, in Spanish, that he is the biggest idiot in Mexico! MJF says it ain’t personal, it’s just business. MJF & MVP head out, but will Briscoe, Mistico, and just about everyone else in the gauntlet line-up make sure MJF does not win it?
BREAKING NEWS for All In!
While Kevin Knight got the big win in the Triple Threat, it will still be a Triple Threat for the AEW World Tag Team Championships! The Patriarchy is still in this mix, will they ruin the plans of both Hurt Syndicate and JetSpeed?

Ricochet leaves Lexy behind as he goes into the hall, then shows that the Gates of Agony already took out Blake Christian & Lee Johnson! If you want Ricochet’s respect, you earn it. That is a command. Oh, and, uh… AHA~!
Ricochet & The Gates leave, will the Vanilla Babyface & Big Shotty even be able to stand, let alone earn Ricochet’s respect?

AEW shares more footage from after Dynamite 300.
Renee Paquette found Anthony Bowens after the Men’s Casino Gauntlet #2 spot Fatal 4, and asked him how he felt after his defeat. He talked about his strategy going into the match, so- Bowens stops her there. There’s no room for negativity as the Pride of Pro-Wrestling. Billy Gunn then walks in, and he helps Bowens stand up. Bowens thanks Billy for the help now. Sorry, Billy thought the strategy was for him to not be ringside. Billy says he doesn’t know what Bowens is doing with all this. Bowens asks since when was that part of the strategy. He never said he didn’t want Billy out there. Well, that’s what Billy heard him say. He was back here watching the whole time.
Maybe Bowens doesn’t get this, but just because he’s a singles guy now doesn’t mean he’ll be world champion overnight. There will be bumps in the road, but they need to figure this out together. They can make it all work out. Bowens says Billy has been promising that for weeks but results need to happen now. All In is next week, Bowens has to win the gauntlet! He lost the chance at being #2 so now what? Trust Billy. Bowens & Billy scissor, but can Daddy Ass help the 5 Tool Player find the path to the top?

Julia has Rosa, she hits a SPIDER SUPERPLEX of her own! The fans cheer as the creepy girls both look to each other and smile. The Toxic Spider leaves the ring while Julia adjusts up top.

Tay rallies on Thekla, Thekla gets around, but Tay powers up to lift Thekla, SWINGING SIDE SLAM! The fans fire up with Tay and she goes corner to corner! BOOT! Tay goes side to side for another BOOT! Then she goes the other way, a THIRD BOOT! The fans fire up and Tay SAYANAGIS, to then KNEE Thekla down! Cover, TWO!
Thekla survives but Tay keeps on her. Tay drags Thekla up, tags Anna, and TayJay hook Thekla up! GORY BOMB KNEE COMBO! Cover, Athena breaks it! Rosa step sin and Athena runs away! But Julia SUPERKICKS Rosa! Aminata reels Julia in for a TWIST ‘N’ SHOUT! Megan runs up to SHOTGUN BOOT Aminata! TayJay double kick Megan, DOUBLE SUPERKICK her, then run up on Athena.

Aminata is up, Athena dodges to go up, up, and FLYING CODE BREAKER! “This is MY show now!” The fans fire up for the ROH Women’s World Champion, but then Rosa is here!
Athena still runs away from La Mera Mera, but Rosa slips out the side! CROSSBODY to the floor! Rosa fires hands, then she drags Athena up to send her hard into railing!

Winner: Athena, Thekla, Megan Bayne & Julia Hart, by pinfall
While the Fallen Goddess was running from her challenger, the Megasus dominated for her team. Will this be exactly what Megan does once she’s in the Casino Gauntlet? As for Athena, will the Forever Champion end up losing the title she’s held for TWO YEARS to Thunder Rosa? Or will Supercard of Honor not be her final battle?

Alex Windsor speaks.
“For eight long years, I wrestled on the UK independent scene, and when I was finally hitting my stride, I had my leg taken out from under me and I tore my ACL. There was a point where I didn’t think I’d ever be able to wrestle again. But there was just something that would not let me quit, because I knew the only thing that could make me feel human again, the only thing that could bring me back from the edge, was being inside a wrestling ring. And although I am All Elite now, the mission doesn’t stop until there is gold around my waist. I want to prove to my son what his mum has had to endure to become one of the best in the world.
“I am Iron Will, I am Alex Windsor!” Will Alex prove she is unbreakable when she finally gets back in that AEW ring?
AEW TNT Championship #1 Contender’s Match: Daniel Garcia VS Kyle Fletcher!
Adam Cole joins commentary for this one, but so has Don Callis, because this one is all about who Cole faces at All In. The Red Death held the title previously, but he admittedly did lose to the Protostar during the Continental Classic. Will Kyle correct the oversight of not getting a title match? Or will the Dragonslayer go from one redemption to another?
The bell rings, the fans rally, and the two circle. They tie up, Kyle puts Garcia in a corner, the ref counts, and Callis praises Kyle’s physical strength. Kyle backs off with a roll, then he puts up his dukes to mock Garcia’s dance. Garcia says that’s not even close, but he and Kyle reset. They tie up, Kyle powers Garcia to another corner, but Garcia turns things around. The ref counts, Garcia lets off with a roll, and he shows Kyle how it’s done! The fans cheer, but then Kyle kicks low! Kyle headlocks for the takeover, fights off a headscissor, but Garcia cravats from below. Garcia moves around, rises up, and the fans rally.
Garcia powers up and out, but Kyle runs him over! Things keep moving, Kyle runs Garcia over again! Kyle drops onto Garcia for a headlock, but Garcia fights his way up again. Garcia powers up and out, Kyle RAMS Garcia, but Garcia ducks ‘n’ dodges. Garcia CLOBBERS Kyle on the return and the fans fire up! Garcia has Kyle in the corner, climbs up, and he flips Callis off! The fans cheer and Garcia rains down fists! The fans count, but Kyle stops Garcia at 6 to BOOT him down! The fans still cheer that, and Kyle grins while Cole admits Kyle has power and speed. Kyle scoops to SLAM Garcia, and Garcia goes to the corner.
Kyle aims at the corner, runs in, but Garcia ducks! The gamangiri crashes ‘n’ burns and Kyle falls to the apron! Garcia runs to DROPKICK Kyle, then he does his dance with some extra stank! Garcia goes out after Kyle, runs up, but Kyle BOOTS him again! The fans are torn but Callis hugs it out with his guy. The fans definitely boo that, and Cole stares down with Kyle. Garcia BOOTS Kyle, Cole fist bumps with him, and Callis claims there’s a bias. But Kyle BOOTS right back! Then scoops to LAWN DART Garcia into barriers! Garcia falls in a heap and Kyle mockingly says check on him. Kyle hangs out with his fans at ringside while the others boo.
Kyle taunts the fans booing him, and we see Garcia is busted open! Kyle rains down fists, then shows off the bloody forehead. APRON BACK SUPLEX! Kyle grins while Garcia has a glazed look in his eyes, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Kyle shoves Garcia into the ring, paces around him, and watches as Garcia sputters and sits up. The crimson mask is growing and Kyle talks trash. Kyle drags Garcia up to scoop and SLAM! Garcia flounders to ropes while Kyle soaks up cheers ‘n’ jeers. Kyle paces, then he storms over to Garcia for a JUMP STOMP! The ref reprimands but Garcia flounders away to the other side. Kyle JUMP STOMPS Garcia again! Kyle drags Garcia from the ropes, paces around him again, then stands him up. Garcia fires a flurry of forearms! Garcia backs Kyle down, but Kyle DECKS Garcia! Garcia shows off the blood on his wrist tape while he paces around.
Kyle stands on the corner, and he licks the blood! The fans surely tell Kyle he’s sick, but Collision goes to break.
Collision 100 returns once again and Garcia rains down fists in the corner! He goes to nine, then winds up for TEN! The fans fire up while Kyle flounders. Garcia runs up, Kyle puts him on the apron and GAMANGIRIS! Garcia wobbles, but he reels Kyle in for a GUILLOTINE in the ropes! Callis protests, the ref counts, but Kyle goes to the apron! Kyle powers up but Garcia fights free! Garcia ducks a lariat to APRON GERMAN SUPLEX! Cole and Callis are both worried while the fans all fire up! Garcia stumbles back, Kyle goes the other direction, Garcia runs up and DROPKICKS Kyle into barriers!
The fans fire up as Garcia goes to the other side, runs back in, DROPKICK! The fans fire up as Garcia keeps moving, DROPKICK! Cole says Garcia is cooking here! Garcia puts Kyle on the apron, then slides into the ring. Garcia climbs up the corner, drags Kyle up to the top rope, and the fans fire up for the SUPER DUPER PLEX! Roll through, cover, TWO!! Kyle survives and Callis is relieved. A standing count begins, Kyle and Garcia stir, and Garcia grabs the legs. Kyle BOOTS Garcia away, Garcia rebounds, but into Kyle’s cradle! Then deadlift, but Garcia slips free! Garcia waistlocks, they go to ropes, Kyle bucks the O’Conner! SUPERKICK!
Kyle reels Garcia in, lifts, LAST RIDE!! Cover, TWO!! Kyle is furious but then he rains down elbows! The ref wants Garcia to get his guard up but Kyle lets off. Garcia sputters, is his nose broken now? The fans rally, Callis mockingly says they should call this. Kyle aims from the far corner, runs in, but Garcia catches him for a leg scissor! Then he has the legs! DRAGONTAMER!! The fans are thunderous as Kyle endures! Garcia sits deep on the hold, but Kyle powers up! Garcia drags Kyle away for the DEEPER hold! Kyle reaches back to headlock Garcia, but Garcia lets the legs go so he can roll back! Garcia facelocks, deadlifts, and then suplexes Kyle and himself out of the ring!!
The fans fire up while both men hit the floor! Callis and Cole are both worried again, but both men are still stirring. The ring count climbs, the fans rally, and Callis tells Garcia to stay down. Callis fans Kyle off, pats him on the shoulder, but we pass 5 of 10. Garcia is up first and he has Kyle, only for Kyle to get around! HALF ‘N’ HALF to the floor! Kyle grimaces as he drags himself up to his feet. Garcia sputters, twitches, but Kyle drags him up. Callis says get the ambulance. Kyle grins as he looks at Cole, and he reels Garcia in for an APRON POWERBOMB!! Garcia is down in a heap and Cole stands up in anger.
The fans are torn as Kyle leaves Garcia behind. The count starts again, Cole coaches Garcia, but can Garcia even hear him right now? The count is 5 of 10, and Garcia grabs the apron skirt! Garcia rises, but we’re at 8! Garcia leaps in at 9.99! But the GAMANGIRI hits in the corner!! And then Kyle suplexes, BRAINBUSTER!! Cover, Kyle wins!!
Winner: Kyle Fletcher, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the AEW TNT Championship)
Daniel Garcia fought his heart out, but his body could not withstand the viciousness of Kyle Fletcher. And now, the Aussie Arrow is aimed squarely at Adam Cole. Will the Protostar make himself the Face of TNT? Or will this title stay undisputed?
My Thoughts:
A great 100th episode of Collision, even with it being prerecorded on Wednesday. FTR VS Outrunners was an awesome match, and naturally FTR was winning, but it was a nice touch for Stokely to be involved right at the end so that The Outrunners’ power level isn’t hurt by the loss. The tag title story is a bit disconnected, though, as apparently Nick Wayne “interrupted” a Hurt Syndicate interview. It was a YouTube exclusive, not part of Dynamite, so Nick Wayne jumping into what they framed as Shelton VS Knight was weird. And even then, Knight won the Triple Threat by pinning Shelton, shouldn’t it just be JetSpeed VS Lashley & Shelton? And I’m pretty sure the only reason for the Triple Threat is so that Hurt Syndicate can lose the belts without taking the finish.
Great Six Man Tag from Briscoe, Hologram & Mistico VS Don Callis Family, and great win for the Faces. Good promo from MJF and MVP, but not really needed. They just wanted to step on Briscoe’s celebration before having the “talky talk” moment next week. Awesome return for Scorpio Sky after roughly 600 days of being away, and he of course got a win over Max Caster. The main thing from this is that Sky is also now leading a new faction with Christopher Daniels. Hopefully Top Flight gets some direction with this, they’ve been in a holding pattern for so long. And that’s not even the injuries, they’ve both been back for a good amount of time and they’ve only been contenders to the tag titles, not winners.
Very good promo from Claudio to call out The Opps, and I’m starting to really feel like Hook joins Death Riders as payback on Samoa Joe for replacing him so easily. Willow got a good win but it was mostly so we could have that moment of Kris and Yuta where Kris is still resistant to the idea of joining Death Riders. Great 8 Woman Tag, and Athena being scared of getting in the ring with Rosa was some good stuff. Another strong win for the Heels, and I feel like Megan is going to have a great showing in the Casino Gauntlet. But with Alex Windsor having another good promo, I feel like she could be a favorite to win. Then Alex faces the winner of Toni VS Mone at Forbidden Door. Good promo from Toni Storm, but it didn’t really add that much to the build.
And finally, something for the TNT Championship. Great promo to open the night, and it naturally raised the stakes on the main event. Garcia VS Fletcher was awesome, and that moment near the end with them both down on the outside really teased a double count out to make a Triple Threat for All In. But in the end, Kyle overwhelms Garcia and is the standalone #1 contender. Cole VS Fletcher is going to be awesome, and probably could go either way. But if the Don Callis Family is going to be as big as it is, it also needs to win some gold. There’s potential for them to really clean up next weekend with Konosuke Takeshita going for the ROH World Championship, Okada VS Omega for the “unified” championship, and now Fletcher going for the TNT title.
