Jon Moxley w/ The Blackpool Combat Club VS Tomohiro Ishii!
The Maniac is not in any good mood after his team lost on Sunday, but he isn’t gonna sit back and stew in it, either! He wants to go after the Stone Pitbull himself, will he be a one man wrecking crew? Or will Ishii just add another loss to Moxley’s record?
The two are forehead to forehead the moment they’re both in the ring, and the ref tries to keep the peace. The two finally back up, the bell rings, and they’re forehead to forehead again! Ishii CHOPS, Moxley CHOPS, repeat! The fans “WOO~” with every CHOP! Moxley gets annoyed as the CHOPS keep going but Ishii doesn’t back down. In fact, they speed up! CHOP after CHOP after CHOP, and fans are thunderous! Moxley CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS again! Moxley runs, RAMS Ishii but Ishii returns to RAM Mox! They RAM and RAM and RAM, Moxley ducks the enziguri but Ishii ducks the Penalty Kick!
Fans fire up and the two get up again. They now throw forearms back and forth! The fans rally and duel, the forearms keep going, and Moxley roars! Moxley ROCKS Ishii but Ishii ROCKS him back! Ishii whips, Moxley reverses but Ishii comes back to CLOBBER Moxley! Fans fire up and Ishii storms up on Moxley. Moxley SOBATS! And BITES Ishii’s nose! The ref counts, Moxley lets off, but Ishii BITES Moxley’s forehead! The ref counts, Ishii runs, but Moxley runs him over! Wheeler Yuta cheers but fans are torn. Moxley gets the arms to DRAGON STOMP! Fans rally and Moxley covers, TWO!
Moxley drags Ishii up, throws him out to the floor, and Moxley paces. The ref watches Yuta and Claudio, and the ring count climbs. Moxley soaks up the cheers and jeers but Ishii rises at 4 of 10. Ishii goes to the apron but Moxley DECKS him! Moxley then DIVES and wipes Ishii out! Fans fire up while Moxley walks around and soaks it all up. The ref checks Ishii, he’s okay to continue, but again the ref warns the BCC to keep their distance. Ishii dares one of them to do something, but wait! Eddie Kingston is here! The Mad King surprises everyone as he storms down to ringside! He grabs a chair and he makes the BCC to back off!
Hamilton is all fired up but the ref tells Eddie to hold on. Moxley goes out to confront Eddie and they argue as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Eddie dares Yuta & Claudio to do something, and then Ishii fires forearms on Moxley! Ishii whips but Moxley reverses and Ishii hits railing! Moxley brings Ishii around to put him in the ring. Moxley drags Ishii to the apron, turns him, APRON NECKBREAKER! Moxley waits on Ishii to get back in while Eddie continues to egg on Claudio. Moxley drags Ishii back in, throws forearms, and has him in a corner. Moxley looms over Ishii, talks trash, then stomps him. Ishii eggs Moxley on so Moxley stomps him more. Moxley then stands on Ishii’s head on the ropes! The ref counts, Moxley lets off, and Eddie coaches Ishii.
Eddie and Moxley argue again, but Moxley stands Ishii up to clothesline! And clothesline! And forearm! Moxley fires off on Ishii, eggs Ishii on, and Ishii drags himself up, and Moxley throws another forearm! But Ishii stands bolt upright! Moxley throws more forearms but Ishii leans into them! Ishii backs Moxley down this way, then DECKS him! Moxley sits up in a daze and Ishii storms up to him as Dynamite returns to single picture. Ishii hoists Moxley up top, climbs up after him, and then SUPERPLEXES! Ishii crawls to the cover, TWO! Moxley hangs tough, but Ishii runs. Moxley swats the lariat, but Ishii comes back with a SOUTHPAW!
Moxley fires a forearm, but Ishii roars! Ishii fires a forearm, but Moxley roars! The forearms go back and forth again, fans rally up behind Ishii, and neither man is stopping! They do slow down a bit, but then just get a second wind! Fans fire up as this keeps going, even as Moxley starts to wobble. The shots are slower, but they are harder! They go no guard, and Ishii boxing elbows! Moxley ROLLING ELBOWS and down goes Ishii! The ref is checking but Ishii is somehow still in this. Moxley drags Ishii up, for a GOTCH PILEDRIVER! Cover, TWO?!? Ishii survives and fans are thunderous! Moxley has some blood from his eyebrow but he sits Ishii up.

Ishii eggs Moxley on, they stand and headbutt! Blood is going from Moxley’s forehead to Ishii’s! And then they throw SLAPS! Ishii HEADBUTTS, roars, and runs, but into a spin and PARADIGM SHIFT!! Cover, TWO!??!?! Moxley can’t believe it, his frustration visible through that growing crimson mask! Moxley vows to end this and he drags Ishii up. Moxley underhooks again, DEATH- NO, Ishii wrenches out, spins Moxley around, and steals PARADIGM SHIFT!??
Ishii runs to LARIAT!!! Cover, TWO!!!! Moxley survives but Ishii roars! Ishii suplexes, but Moxley slips out to CUTTER! But Ishii’s right up?! SLIDING LARIAT!! Cover, TWO!!!!

Winner: Jon Moxley, by pinfall
The Maniac redeems himself through blood, sweat and tears, but Eddie mockingly applauds. Moxley shows respect to Ishii, but blows right past Eddie on the ramp. What is next for the BCC as their war with The Elite and all the rest continues to heat up this Summer?
Renee Paquette is backstage.
Ontario’s own says as the teams for the Blind Eliminator Tag Tournament are continuing to be announced, one team we know for sure is MJF and Adam Cole. A ton of question marks around that team, and here’s one right now. Adam Cole has just arrived, but then coming in fast is MJF! “Hey, what’s up, dude?” MJF says hi to Renee and then tells Cole congrats on getting “sick” for Forbidden Door. Wish he’d thought of that. Genius! MJF, Cole was actually sick. Hah, yeah, sure. MJF feels he and Cole got off on the wrong page. Especially with this Blind Eliminator Tag Tournament coming up, this is an opportunity for Cole.
MJF says obviously, Cole couldn’t beat him for the Triple B. Not really Cole’s fault, no one is on the level of the Devil. But MJF is not ashamed that if there’s anyone close, it’s Cole. So just imagine what they could do together as a unit? They could run the entire company! So little idea: MJF & Cole bond a bit this week. They hang out like bros. What’s Cole say? Wait, MJF wants to “get to know” Cole or something? Yes, quite literally. Cole says sure, why not. But do not touch him. Right, right, boundaries are cool. Let’s head out now! No, hold on, Cole is talking. He’s gonna go say hi to a few people right now, and he’ll see Max around.
MJF stops Cole from leaving but apologizes for touching his arm. It’s just MJF has a little gift for Cole! The driver throws MJF a shirt. Since they’re gonna become AEW World Tag Team Champions together, here’s some team merch! “Better Than You BAYBAY!” Available now! Cole is annoyed and leaves, MJF says “See you later, brochacho! What a guy.” MJF is two-faced as usual, but will this team be an undisputed hit? Or an undisputed disaster?
Backstage interview (sorta) with The Blackpool Combat Club.
Renee asks Moxley, “What the hell is going on with you two out there? What is happening? This is insane!” Moxley says yeah, that was some BS. Eddie’s gonna run up on him like he needs three guys to win a match? Like Moxley doesn’t have respect for Ishii? But then Eddie barges in! Eddie says Mox has talked enough! But Moxley says sorry he has friends and training partners. Renee wants them to stop but Eddie says he saved Moxley in that 10 Man Tag. Moxley says he doesn’t need that. Eddie tells Moxley, “No one kicks your ass but me. You understand that? I got your back, but you’re with this scumbag (points at Claudio) and I’m supposed to sit back and chill?”
Moxley says who cares about Chikara and some BS in the past. Eddie says he cares! Renee wants them to stop but Moxley storms off. Renee tells Eddie that he better fix this, she is DONE! Renee heads out, too, and Eddie is at a loss for words. What is Eddie supposed to do to make up for this?
BREAKING NEWS for the Women’s Owen Hart Cup match tonight.
Since Adam Cole was sick on Sunday, it makes sense that sadly, Britt Baker is out sick tonight. Her match with Ruby Soho will be delayed to next week, will The Doctor be ready for her cup finals rematch with the Runaway?
Six Man Tag: The Jericho Appreciation Society VS Orange Cassidy, El Hijo del Vikingo & Keith Lee!
Daniel Garcia is not AEW International Champion, and he claims that it was 3v1 in the Fatal 4 Way! He is bringing Matthew Menard & Angelo Parker as back-up, will the sports… enner-tay-ners get back up? Or will Freshly Squeezed, the AAA Mega Champion and the Limitless One make them #BaskInTheirGlory?

The JAS keeps losing, and the Limitless One stands tall with the two champions. Will anything stop any of these three men as the Summer heats up?
The Elite speak backstage.
Brandon Cutler confirms, they are live, so Hangman starts off. “Tonight, live on Dynamite, the Young Bucks, Hangman Page, fresh off a victory at Forbidden Door, tonight, we have a trios open challenge! So we are looking for talent-” But then in walks The Dark Order. Uh, guys, what’re you doing? They’re literally live right now. Take it from the top! Matt says the same thing, an open challenge to any three men who think they- John Silver says hey, if they want three men, then count it! Evil Uno, Alex Reynolds, John Silver! And they’re gonna kick your asses! Oh, is that so? Hangman has a chuckle and says they can up this to a 12 Man or something,
No, no, no. This is serious. The Dark Order wants to fight The Elite. You can’t just not talk to them for months and then everything will be okay, Hangman. So they’re here to fight. Hangman says he’s sorry but Uno says wow! He’s sorry! You think that’s enough? Hangman hasn’t contacted them, hasn’t hung out with them. He left them! Abandoned them! For The Elite! And Hangman’s sorry? Hangman says it isn’t about the Bucks, or Dark Order, it was about fighting The BCC! The Elite needed his help. What was Hangman supposed to do? Is he responsible for The Dark Order? Is he their babysitter or something?
Is that what Hangman thought this was? N-No, that’s not- Yeah, they were with you at your lowest point, Hangman. But tonight, they’re not friends anymore. They’re opponents. The Dark Order heads out, what is the Cowboy to do?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho & Sammy Guevara.
Renee is with the Wizard & Spanish God ahead of their main event Tornado Tag match against Darby Allin & Sting. But Chris said tonight, he’s tapping into the Painmaker. Jericho says “For the first time ever, just a few days ago at Forbidden Door, Sting and Chris Jericho were in the ring together, once again, for the very first time. But this is a little bigger than Forbidden Door, isn’t it, Sting? Jericho and Sting should be on TBS, right? Poetic justice! Should be commentated by Tony Schiavone, just like it should’ve so many years ago. But Sting, you said you wanted more time with Chris Jericho. You needed to spend more time with me in the ring.
“Well guess what, Sting? Tonight, you get your nightmare. That’s right, it’s not a dream, it’s a nightmare. Because tonight, I’m going to go deep inside myself, okay? Let’s go to the primordial ooze of Chris Jericho. Let’s bring out the Painmaker, Sting. You know about being dark. You know about how desperate things can get when your back is up against the wall. Tonight, you’re not facing Jericho. You’re facing The Painmaker. You wanna get dirty, Sting? Let’s get dirty. Let’s put that white paint in the dirt ’til it comes up a bloody mess. Right, Sammy?” Sammy nods, and Jericho tells Sting that he is getting all the time he wants with The Painmaker. “See you out there.”

The fans can’t believe it but Blood & Guts returns! July 19th, in Boston, it might just be a massacre! Who survives when these vicious forces step into the double cage?
AEW hears from the Men’s Owen Hart Cup participants.
The ROH World Television Champion says, “The importance of this tournament, it goes beyond what you might imagine. You see, a tournament by itself is a true crucible, a test of a man’s ability in the ring. It’s these formats, these scenarios, where I thrive. ” The Savior of the Backbreaker says, “It is an honor to be included in the Owen Hart Tournament. Samoa Joe, you’re a bad man. But I need you to know this: I need this one.” Powerhouse Hobbs says, “All roads lead to the Owen Hart Tournament. But for you, Dustin, it’s the end of the road. Prepare to witness a man who is unmerciful, and full of destruction.”
The Natural tells Hobbs, “You said you’re going to be unmerciful. For 35 years, I’ve been unmerciful. And in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, you’re going to remember my name!” Rock Hard Robinson says, “The Juice is fixin’ to run loose all over Absolute Ricky Starks!” But the Absolute says, “The charisma, the good looks, the ability in the wrestling ring. Those are things that you wish you had, Juice. That’s why in the Owen Tournament, I’m just gonna do to you again what I’ve already have, and that is absolutely embarrass you.” Who out of these six men join CM Punk in the semifinals?
Adam Cole is waiting backstage.
MJF said he wanted to hang out, so “Where the hell is this guy?” Roddy walks over and says hey to Cole. Roddy also says Cole can’t trust MJF. Cole knows he can’t, that guy’s a maniac. But Cole is just playing him. But what if MJF watches the show back, he’ll know. There’s no way MJF- MJF walks over! MJF says hey to Cole and “generic white guy,” but says he’s just joking. First off, Strong looks great, freakin’ jacked. But MJF says that it is bad enough he’ll have to wrestle every week, you expect him to stick around and watch the whole thing? Let’s get outta here, this place sucks! MJF gets in his SUV, and Cole says MJF definitely does not watch AEW.
Cole and Strong hug it out and Cole wishes Strong luck against Samoa Joe. Cole joins MJF in the SUV and MJF says it’s party time! Just how much can Cole milk out of the Devil’s arrogance?
“Jungle Boy” Jack Perry is here!
But then he says to “turn that garbage off,” and fans boo. Jack says everyone ruined that song for him to the point where we’re never hearing it again! And boo all you want, it does not change anything. He has a car waiting in the back to take him to the airport, and all these fans are stuck here with the wildfires. Fans boo more as Jack goes up the steps and into the ring. Plus, Jack is still young, cashing fat checks, and banging the hottest chick in this entire place! He winks to Anna Jay through the camera, and then asks Toronto a question. Fans boo more, this is Hamilton! Jack says relax, he as joking.
But now, did Jack turn on Hook? Or did everyone else turn on Jack? After everything Jack has done, that he has given to AEW, and after being robbed of not one but TWO world titles, the fans expected Jack to sit here and watch some “entitled, second generation little prick dangle his championship in my face?” Fans boo more but Jack says the funny thing is, the FTW Championship isn’t even officially recognized! That is why Jack doesn’t recognize Hook. Fans chant “We Want Hook!” but Jack calls Hook a fraud! Jack never needed Hook, and #JungleHook was only special because of Jack!
The last time Jack was in a tag team, they were world champions. Hook was lucky to ever stand next to Jack in the ring. Fans boo more but Jack tells them to shut up! And whether or not the FTW title is recognized, Jack knows what it means to Hook. And what it means to his family. Fans call JB an A-hole as Jack glares at Taz. That’s for you, Taz! And that is exactly why JB is going to take the FTW title from Hook. For the record, he hears us all telling him that he messed up, that Hook’s gonna kill him. But when Jack gets his hands on Hook, he will beat the- UH OH! Here comes Hook! And Taz says here it comes!
Hook rushes the ring and Jack bails out! Hook pursues him through the crowd! They go to the back! Will the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil catch Jack? Wait, cameras catch up and Jack throws things in Hook’s way! Then he DIVES into his car and it takes off! Hook is furious, when and where will they have this out for the FTW Championship?
Sammy Guevara walks out on stage.
Fans cheer the Spanish God as he has his cue cards. Dynamite goes picture in picture so Sammy has the cards speak for him. “You may have to fight a battle more than once to win a war. Sting… Darby…” Sammy holds this sign up high for everyone to see. “Once again, we’ll do battle. But tonight, WE’RE winning this war! Darby Allin, my eternal adversary… We’re destined to fight… FIGHT FOREVER!” Good plug for the game, too. The cards become souvenirs as Sammy continues with “Tonight! In the main event! It’s not ‘Let the fight begin.’ It’s ‘Let the fight continue!'” Sammy tears that one, and then revels in the cheers. But will Le Sex Gods survive the Tornado Tag tonight?
Ruby Soho w/ The Outcasts VS Alexia Nicole!
The Runaway doesn’t get her revenge on Britt Baker for last year just yet, that will have to be next week. But will Ruby use this match with Hamilton’s hometown hero as a tune-up for The Doctor?
The bell rings and Storm already creeps up on Alexia. The ref reprimands and Storm backs off. Ruby hits an STO! Then she rains down fists! Ruby lets off to mock the D M D. Ruby stomps Alexia, bumps her off buckles, and stomps away. Fans boo and the ref counts, but Ruby lets off at 4. Ruby tells the ref to shut up, and then she digs her boot into Alexia. Ruby mocks the fans applauding, then drags Alexia up to TOSS her out! Storm is there to get cheap shots in while the ref argues with Ruby! Saraya does, too! Ruby goes out after Alexia, brings her up, and pushes her into the ring. Fans rally, Ruby stalks Alexia, and hits a SAIDO!
Ruby drags Alexia up to SAIDO again! Cover, but Ruby lets off!? Saraya takes someone’s DMD sign and rips it up! Ruby pulls out a glove and she’s mocking Britt more! Ruby steals the Rings of Saturn, and the LOCKJAW!! Alexia taps, Ruby wins!
Winner: Ruby Soho, by submission
The Runaway has sent a very big message to Britt, but the Outcasts send a message to the entire roster by spraying an L on Alexia. Ruby says, “Ladies and gentlemen, as you can see, Canada’s finest here was not my intended opponent for the evening, Britt Baker, DMD. And I suppose I have you all to thank for that. Because of your filthy, disgusting, germ-ridden country, she’s sick! Look, don’t worry, don’t worry. Next week, she’ll be able to challenge me in the first round, because rookies pretty much get what they want around here, whether they show up for work or not. I mean, her boyfriend, Adam Cole, didn’t even show up for his match at Forbidden Door.”
Adam and Britt used to be “the power couple,” but uh, let’s just hope those two don’t have kids. They’re all gonna be weak little bastards. Now, Britt, get your head outta the toilet and look at Ruby. When Ruby first got here, before their match at Arthur Ashe Stadium, Britt said Ruby didn’t know who Ruby was. But Ruby wasn’t lying when she said she did. Because Ruby loves who she is now! She loves who she is standing beside The Outcasts! But does Britt know who Britt is? Because she’s a shell of her former self! She used to be one of the hardest working people in this business! And she still has fans to show for it.
But then the fans crap all over someone if they sneeze in the wrong direction, don’t they?! Britt, look. Really look. “Last year, you barely beat me in the finals on your best day. And since then, collectively, we have taken anything and everything that has ever meant anything to you.” They took the world title, they picked off Britt’s “army of skanks” one by one, and next week… Ruby takes Britt’s opportunity to be two-time Queen of Harts away, until Britt is left with exactly what Britt is: NOTHING! Is the Runaway going to run away with this tournament?
Team QTV speaks backstage.
QT Marshall says “Sorry to rain on your parade, Daddy Ass & The Acclaimed, but last week was all about the debut of Johnny TV.” John Morrison says Johnny TV is now in production! And this Friday on Rampage, The Hardy Party finds out that QTV and Johnny always make hits! Harley Cameron mocks Isiah Kassidy’s moan, but it sounds more like Urkel. Okay, sure… But will Johnny TV be canceled before it even begins?
BREAKING NEWS for Rampage!
On top of Johnny & QT VS Matt Hardy & Isiah Kassidy, we will see Taya Valkyrie VS Hikaru Shida, Shawn Spears VS The Blade, and an ROH World Championship match! Claudio Castagnoli VS Komander!

The Blind Eliminator Tag Tournament Teams are ready!
Darby Allin & Orange Cassidy join forces again, to take on… KEITH LEE & SWERVE STRICKLAND!? How did that even happen!? Will the Limitless One and the Mogul even bother trying given the history between them?
Tornado Tag: Chris Jericho & Sammy Guevara VS Darby Allin & Sting!
Le Suzuki Gods worked together well enough on Sunday at the Forbidden Door, but they could not make it a win. And Jericho noticed the face paint Sting had on at the time, so he took that as a challenge. Will bringing back the Painmaker be what Jericho needs to end The Icon? Or will Sammy’s cards be right about these four fighting forever?
The bell rings and Darby SHOTGUNS Sammy outta the ring! They brawl outside, leaving Sting and Jericho in the ring. Jericho has his baseball bat but Sting says they don’t need that. But Jericho smacks Sting on the arm! Painmaker wants a bat fight, so Sting gets his bat! They clash like swordsman! Sting backs Jericho to a corner, but Jericho kicks low. So Sting JAMS Jericho! And CLUBS him! And then CLACKS the bat outta Jericho’s hands! Darby runs in, COFFIN SPLASH on Jericho! Sting runs to STINGER SPLASH! They mug Jericho, but Sammy FLYING CUTTERS Darby! Sting glares at Sammy but Jericho CLOBBERS him!
Jericho & Sammy stomp Sting outta the ring, and the brawl continues outside. Jericho whips Sting hard into barriers! Sammy brings out a ladder! Fans fire up as Sammy puts that in the ring. Jericho RAMS Darby into barriers! And then SMACKS him with a chair! Darby writhes, Jericho soaks up the cheers and jeers, and Sammy brings Darby around. Fans want tables but Darby is sent into steel steps! Darby crawls, Sammy positions the steps and Jericho helps him. They then fetch Darby and bring him up, APRON BACK SUPLEX! Darby writhes and Sammy drags him off. Sammy & Jericho double whip Darby at the steps!
Darby hits steps, tumbles up and over and hits railing! Jericho & Sammy high-five, and then Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Fans rally for Darby while he writhes. Jericho goes out after Darby, brings him up, and Sammy joins in. They mug Darby around the back end of the crowd, but Sting returns! Sting RAMS Jericho into barriers! And off chairs! Sammy headlocks Darby and brings him around the way, and CHOPS him against a fan! The fans fire up and Sammy drags Darby away. Sammy ROCKS Darby with forearms, then digs his knees in against barriers. Jericho CRACKS Sting with someone’s drink! Sting still kicks back and rakes Jericho’s eyes! Sammy snap suplexes Darby to the bare concrete! Sting SMACKS Jericho with a chair!
Jericho SMACKS Sting with a fan’s sign! And punches him with it! And again and again and again! It’s a picture of Sting, and Jericho makes Sting eat it! The ref reprimands but there’s not much else that can be done about this. Jericho CLUBS Darby, he and Sammy mug Darby against barriers, and Sammy CHOPS! Darby sits up on the railing, Jericho BLASTS him down to the floor! Dynamite returns to single picture as Le Pain Gods soak up the heat. Sammy then FLYING CUTTERS Darby to the floor! Sting DECKS Jericho! Sammy puts Darby in the ring, goes after Sting, but Sting CLUBS him down!
Sting throws hands but he’s 2v1 against Sammy & Jericho, But Darby goes up, SUPER COFFIN DROP on Sammy!! Fans lose their minds as Sting SPLASHES Jericho against railing! Darby looks under the ring, and he brings out a TABLE! Fans love it, as Sting brings out another TABLE! They set those tables up by ringside, but these tables aren’t quite up to code. Even so, Darby goes into the ring and he sets up Sammy’s ladder from earlier. Sting SMACKS Sammy with a chair! Sting puts Sammy on the tables, and Darby climbs up?! Sting holds the ladder, then climbs up to join Darby! Even Darby’s unsure about this, but Sting wants to do it!
Darby says alright, and he hops down to hold the ladder. Sting adjusts, howls, and SUPER STINGER SPLASHES!! Only one table breaks, but maybe both Sting and Sammy just broke! Fans lose their minds, the ref checks Sting and Sammy, and somehow Sting is stirring! Darby DIVES onto Jericho! Darby puts Jericho in, gets his skateboard, and SKATEBOARD STOMPS Jericho!! Cover, TWO!?!? Jericho survives but Darby keeps his focus. Darby runs in, but is sent into the ladder! Jericho gets the ladder, and he SLAMS it on Darby’s back! Jericho grabs the ladder again, picks it up, and he SLAMS it on Darby again!
The Painmaker puts the ladder on top of a corner, and he goes back for Darby. Jericho CHOPS Darby, whips him corner to corner, but Darby reverses! Jericho runs into the ladder battering ram, face first! Jericho writhes, Darby runs and springboards, but Jericho CRACKS him with the skateboard! Jericho, busted open as he is, aims and JUDAS EFFECT!! But Darby falls outta the ring! This has to end in the ring, so Darby is safe. But wait, Sting is up!?! Sting is in the ring, dragon sleeper, but Jericho powers out! Takedown and Jericho has the legs! WALLS OF JERICHO!! Jericho shouts through his crimson mask as Sting endures!
Sting crawls, reaches out, but not for ropes! He grabs Floyd the Baseball Bat! Jericho drags Sting back from the corner, and Sting CRACKS him with the bat!! “This is Awesome!” and Sting runs in at Jericho, STINGER SPLASH!! Sting keeps moving, but into a CODE BREAKER!! Cover, TWO!?!? Sting survives and fans are thunderous! Jericho aims again, but Sting ducks the elbow to hit SCORPION DEATH DROP!! Cover, TWO?!? Jericho survives but Sting hurries to fire forearms! Sting runs, but into a BOOT! CODE- NO! Sting catches Jericho to the SCORPION DEATH LOCK!!! Jericho endures, but he TAPS! Sting & Darby win!
Winners: Darby Allin & Sting, by submission
Jericho suffers his first loss in AEW as The Painmaker! And that is already two losses for Jericho against Sting! Will he still come back for more?
My Thoughts:
A great fallout/follow-up episode from Dynamite here. For one, great stuff in the BCC VS Elite story. Great opener from Moxley VS Ishii, with Eddie joining in given his history with everyone. And how great that Renee got dragged into this, too, because while Moxley wants Eddie to get over the past and Eddie wants Moxley to honor it, Renee wants them both to make up already. Great stuff out of Dark Order VS Elite, too, as Hangman again gets stuck between the heat his mutuals have with each other. And I am very, very happy to see that this is going to end with Blood & Guts, but of course it’ll be on live TV. That really could go either way, but I feel like Elite winning makes the most sense. The Elite can move on, maybe pass the BCC onto Eddie for a feud there.
Great interactions from MJF, Cole and Strong. It does make sense that MJF kayfabe is so high on himself that he doesn’t care about the product, so he’ll never know if people talk trash on him on air. I do really like the two-faced behavior from MJF, it is hilarious. And good promos from all the participants in the Men’s Owen Cup Hart. I’m still thinking Joe beats Strong to then face Punk in the next round. And we didn’t really get all the other teams in the Blind Eliminator Tournament, but the ones we did learn about… Um, okay I know that since this is pro-wrestling, the teams aren’t really shoot random, but c’mon, guys. Disguise it! Don’t just slap Swerve & Keith back together, that’s a dead giveaway! At the same time, I do look forward to the interactions there.
Great Six Man Tag of Keith, Cassidy & Vikingo VS JAS, and I figured the Faces would win, that ends up giving Keith and Cassidy momentum going into the tag tournament. Darby & Cassidy is also not that well disguised as we’ve seen those two team together before. It should’ve been Cassidy teaming with someone he doesn’t get along with, like Kip Sabian. Though, that might parallel MJF and Cole too much, one being champion and the other wanting that title. Maybe it should be Shawn Spears. They’re in Canada, fans still like the “TEN! TEN! TEN!” and I’d love to see Spears interacting with Cassidy. Plus, it’s not like Darby needs this tournament for screen time, give that to someone who really needs it.
Really good Heel promo from Jungle Jack, and really good Heel behavior as he runs away from Hook. That was an awesome dive into the back of his SUV to get outta there. Jungle Boy VS Hook for the FTW title is going to be great stuff, and I would think JB wins. It can be through cheating, but it’d be a great new chapter for both him and Hook. Hook’s first loss, his first feud that’s really personal because JB made him think they were friends, and Hook can come back even stronger after the loss. And decent promo from QTV and Johnny. They’ll have a good match and good win off Hardy Party, probably because there will also be Ethan Page shenanigans. And I would think The Acclaimed then come out to diss track on QTV to set up their Six Man Tag.
Good adjustment from Britt not being able to make it, Ruby got a lot of great insults in through the squash match. And good promo after the match, though the fans didn’t seem to care. This will add more heat to Britt VS Ruby next week, and I still feel The Outcasts have something to do with the finish. And great stuff out of Jericho & Sammy VS Darby & Sting tonight. Good promos, both Jericho talking and Sammy using his cue cards, and that tornado tag match was wild.
Though, that table spot from Sting was rough… To me, that was another example of wrestlers needing to take physics classes just so they understand what they’re asking of themselves. They should’ve had the second table in front of the first, cuz then Sting would’ve hit them both evenly. But in the end, Darby & Sting winning did seem like the right choice. Jericho has lost to Sting in a Six Man Tag, then in 2v2, so he will surely demand a 1v1 match to truly settle things between them, and it will be great stuff.
My Score: 8.7/10

AEW Continental Classic, Gold League: Will Ospreay VS Ricochet!
Wait, are the fans throwing white streamers or is that… No, yeah, it’s toilet paper! Ospreay laughs at the fans basically calling Ricochet crap. Ricochet throws the toilet paper back! The bell rings and we’re on the clock. The fans fire up for Ospreay as he and Ricochet circle. The fans also sing, “F HIM UP, OSPREAY, F HIM UP!” Ricochet shrugs that off, he and Ospreay tie up, and then Ricochet rolls. Ospreay shoots in, waistlocks, but Ricochet switches. They go around, Ricochet gator rolls with Ospreay, then floats to a headlock. Ricochet wrenches, hammerlocks then headlocks again. Ospreay powers up and out, Ricochet runs him over, but Ospreay kips up!
The fans cheer and Ospreay smiles as he and Ricochet reset. They tie up, go around, and Ricochet wrenches to a wristlock.

Ospreay holds onto the headlock but Ricochet powers up and out. Ospreay runs Ricochet over, Ricochet bails out, and then Ospreay handsprings to fake Ricochet out! The fans cheer as Ospreay superhero lands out, and Ricochet is annoyed. Ospreay holds ropes open for Ricochet, but Ricochet goes around the way to step in on his own.
The fans boo Ricochet being a bad sport but Ricochet ignores that. Ospreay and Ricochet knuckle lock, then Ricochet kicks low! And CHOPS! Ricochet whips, Ospreay reverses, but Ricochet rolls off Ospreay’s back! Things keep moving, Ospreay avoids the handspring to then duck ‘n’ dodges and RANA! But Ricochet handsprings through! The fans fire up, and Ospreay arm-drags Ricochet down! The fans cheer while Ricochet endures the grind. Ricochet fights up and puts Ospreay on ropes. The ref counts, Ricochet and Ospreay slowly let g o, and Ricochet SLAPS Ospreay! Ospreay CHOPS Ricochet!
Ospreay takes a swing, Ricochet ducks under to roll back and RANA! But now Ospreay handsprings through! Ricochet dodges to waistlock but Ospreay bucks the O’Conner. Ricochet arm-drags Ospreay down, but Ospreay headscissors back! Ricochet pops free but Ospreay arm-drags! Ricochet headscissors, Ospreay pops free, and Ospreay handsprings, but Ricochet catches him! Ricochet then THROWS Ospreay into the Tree of Woe, and Ospreay falls down! The fans boo while Ospreay bails out, but Ricochet FOSBURY FLOPS! The fans boo but Ricochet takes the toilet paper to wipe himself, then he SMOTHERS Ospreay with it!
The fans boo that literally disgusting act of disrespect, but Collision goes picture in picture.
Ricochet taunts the fans, then drags Ospreay up. Ricochet puts Ospreay in, soaks up more heat, then KNEE-BOARD SENTONS! Ricochet swaggers to taunt the fans more, then he goes back to Ospreay. Cover, ONE!! Another cover, TWO! Ricochet taunts the fans more, then goes back for Ospreay. Ricochet stands Ospreay up to CHOP, and Ospreay goes to a corner.

Ospreay endures while Ricochet digs a knee into the back. Ospreay fights up, fights with elbows, then runs, but into a DROPKICK!
Ospreay is down in a daze but Ricochet has to shake out the stars in his own head. Ricochet covers, ONE! Ospreay then uses that one to flip off Ricochet. Ricochet RAMS Ospreay in the back! Ricochet then clamps on with a chinlock, and he digs his knee into Ospreay’s back. Ospreay endures, even as Ricochet JAMS Ospreay. Collision returns to single picture as the fans rally for Ospreay again. Ospreay fires up, fires hands, but Ricochet RAMS him into a corner.

Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Ospreay earns 0)
The One & Only got away with murder, but there’s nothing that can be done now! Ricochet has NINE points, will he be headed to Worlds End?
Adam Cole heads to the ring!
The fans cheer as the Panama City Playboy returns to the Hammerstein Ballroom, and yes, they join in for the “BOOM~!” and the “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY~!” Cole grabs a mic, but he keeps his eyes on the ramp. That’s because we all know who’s next. MJF makes his entrance, but with a handful of security guards in front of him first. And not even AEW security, that’s his own personal security. MJF grabs a mic and has them cut his music. The fans boo but MJF tells them, “If I wanted your help, I’d ask for it. Sit down and shut up.” The fans tell MJF to STFU, but MJF shrugs that off.
MJF tells Cole that MJF is frustrated. It’s because for the past few months, MJF has had to listen to Cole say MJF is Cole’s biggest enemy! If memory serves, and MJF’s memory always does because unlike the fans here, he isn’t a complete moron… Didn’t Cole turn on MJF? But then does Cole realize he has bigger enemies out there? Like spray tan, cracks in the floor, gusts of win, and maybe… a cavity. Because last MJF heard, Cole’s dentist isn’t seeing him anymore. Cole was already staring daggers into MJF, but now he’s pissed. MJF has Cole calm down, and he tells the fans to shut up so he can shoot straight.
When MJF was the longest-reigning and greatest AEW World Champion of all time, Cole was nothing more than MJF’s cute little sidekick. That ate Cole up inside. Cole wanted to be MJF. Cole wanted #TripleB. But the sad truth is, Cole had many opportunities to win the title before MJF got anywhere near it. It’s almost like when it comes to Cole being elite enough to become world champion, just like his “s*itty little ankle,” Cole blows it. MJF laughs at his own joke, and then tells the fans he is talking, it is not that complicated. But this is why MJF doesn’t buy the hogwash that Cole turned on MJF because MJF would turn on Cole first.
Cole turned because he, like all these shmucks, is jealous of MJF. And who can blame Cole? MJF is rich, handsome, funny, entertaining, and then look at Cole. For crying out loud, Cole used to be ADAM COLE BAYBAY. Now, he’s just a crack baby! Cole asks if MJF is done. Was that the last line? Because it felt like MJF practiced that for two weeks in front of a mirror. But MJF killed it, really. Cole could come back with childish comments to hurt MJF’s feelings, but he won’t. Cole could mention MJF has had two surgeries on that fake head of hair of his while only in his 20s, which is hilarious, but he won’t.
Cole could talk about how MJF pulled some strings to get his girlfriend hired, like the real politician he is, but Cole won’t go there. Cole could talk about how every single time MJF enters a room, everyone waits for him to leave because he is loud, obnoxious and annoying as hell. But Cole won’t go there. Because Cole is not like MJF. They are nothing alike. That is why the friendship was ruined. Because, MJF, the truth is you say Cole is a failure, but in virtually every wrestling company Cole has worked for, he is the longest-reigning champion in so many!
In this very building, Cole bled BUCKETS against Kyle O’Reilly, wanting to prove he was one of the best in the world, and that is exactly what he did! Does Cole have regrets? Sure. Are there things Cole wishes he could take back? Absolutely. But Cole does NOT regret turning on MJF. The only reason it drives MJF insane is because Cole beat MJF to it. That’s MJF 101: Get close to someone, then turn on them. It’s what MJF does. Cole just did it better than MJF, and MJF knows it.
But Cole has been thinking, trying to understand what’s going on in MJF’s head, and he finally figured it out. MJF is terrified of having anyone close to him, because he feels it is a weakness. That hit a chord? Because not only does MJF act like a child, he thinks like a child! MJF knows in his heart that he was going to be the one to turn on Cole first! DAMN RIGHT HE WAS!!! MJF realizes he let the cat out of the bag. MJF says congrats, Cole, he solved the mystery! A regular Scooby-Doo! Great job, Adam.
But you want the truth? Here it is. The fact of the matter is, last year at Worlds End, MJF had every intention on stabbing Cole in the back that night. Cole just got lucky. When #BetterThanYouBaybay started, MJF didn’t give a damn about Cole. Cole was nothing more than a pawn. But MJF will admit, he did eventually start to care. For the first time in MJF’s life, he cared about someone else. Fans mockingly go, “Aww…” But MJF says that is just when Cole became a liability. And since Cole’s “a fragile little freak,” him jumping off that ramp and exploding his ankle made him a distraction!
Distractions, liabilities, emotions, there are no room for those when all you should be concerned with is maintaining the world championship! But Cole doesn’t get it, does he? Last year was a fluke. Cole ain’t the Devil, he just beat the Devil to it. But this year, Worlds End, December 28th, the same show where Cole tried to end MJF’s world, MJF ENDS Cole!! MJF throws down the mic and the fans are torn. Cole smirks and says MJF ends things then? Well, how about Cole ends this? COLE DECKS MJF! The guards rush in, but Cole fights them off! MJF sends more but Cole SUPERKICSK! And SUPERKICKS! And SUPERKICKS!
But then MJF LOW BLOWS Cole! MJF tells the fans to shut up! MJF takes out the Dynamite Diamond Ring! But then The Kingdom rushes out here! MJF runs away from Matt Taven & Mike Bennett, but he vows this ends at Worlds End. We have one week left, is that the last week Cole has in AEW? Or will MJF finally lose the one thing he has left in that diamond ring?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Lexy Nair is with the #BornAgainKristen and brings up her trying to make amends with Willow Nightingale last night, as well as making the save when Harley Cameron & Penelope Ford were beating Willow up. Kris says what she and Willow have to discuss is between them. But as far as her and Penelope go, they’ve got a lot of history, and if Ford wants a fight, Kris will give her a fight. Then speaking of history, Kris still has her eyes set on the TBS Championship, can she tells us more on that?
Kris says she looked back on 2024 and she had a downward spiral that started with losing that title. Maybe if she wins it back, Kris will right her wrongs. On that note, Mercedes Mone, you don’t have an opponent for Worlds End so here Kris is. Let her know when you’re ready for round two. Kris heads out, will she prove to everyone that she is still the Galaxy’s Greatest?
Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.
AEW returns and Lexy is now with Freshly Squeezed. In exactly one week, he will compete against three other men for the AEW World Championship. There are a lot of combustible elements at play, and Cassidy says yeah, we saw that on Dynamite. Jay White, Hangman Page and Cassidy can’t exactly have a conversation. So really, Cassidy wants them to listen. “Between now and Worlds End, Jon Moxley can run and hide. He can hide behind his goons, he can run away in a pickup truck. But when that bell rings in seven days, he has nowhere to go. He will be in the ring with us. Us three. And you both know that we need to remove Jon Moxley from the equation.
“We can. We’ve done it. And after that, us three, we can fight for the AEW World Championship and one of us will become the AEW World Champion. Just something to think about. See you guys on Dynamite.” Cassidy is ready to remove the Maniac from the throne, but will the Switchblade and Cowboy listen to reason?

As Kris just said, she’s calling out The CEO in hopes of one more TBS Championship match. But will the Superbad Girl be more like the Grinch for Kris this Christmas?

Ford gave Kris quite the fight, but Kris came out on top! Wait, here comes Mone! Kris did call the CEO out, so Santa Mone says, “Ho, ho, ho ho ho! New York Citaaaay~! Please say hello to your C E O! Kris, after the year I’ve been having, I was planning on taking Worlds End off. I was planning on going to the Ritz in Boston.” The fans boo Boston, but Mone says since it’s the holidays, Mone feels like being nice. She already beat Kris once anyway, so she’ll just beat her twice! At Worlds End, you see that money changes everything, because Mone is the greatest TBS Champion of all time!
The challenge has been accepted, and Mone is looking to be busy before the New Year. Will Kris make her regret it?
Big Boom AJ & Big Justice return to the ring.
They’re getting Christmas Collision ready to bring the BOOM, but out comes Chris Jericho, who is still ROH World Champion after overcoming Matt Cardona last night at Final Battle. And he has Bryan Keith & “Big Bill” Morrissey with him as he asks if AJ has a permit for being here tonight. Did they talk with Mayor DeBlasio? Because they certainly didn’t run this past Jericho. Do they know who he is? Big Justice says yeah, he knows! “You’re a JACKASS!” Jericho is taken aback, but the fans agree with Justice. The Bad Apple says this is why dumbass kids should be sitting and not heard. Jericho says yeah!
And if being a jackass means he’s the King of New York, then Jericho’s the biggest jackass! And besides, Jericho talks for everyone here saying we do not want AJ & Justice here! The fans boo, they disagree with Jericho. But Jericho says they don’t even have Costcos in New York! New Yorkers shop at bodegas. Fans are torn, because they kind of agree. Jericho says his favorite is the Walgreens a few blocks over in Flushing. And speaking of Flushing, that’s where AJ & Justice belong: in the toilet! This is the Hammerstein Ballroom, the House that Jericho built! The fans boo that, it’s the House that Hardcore built.
But Jericho says there’s no time for goofy gimmicks like BOOM~, or bandit masks, or scissoring! Scissor me, Bad Apple~! But then wait! The Acclaimed is here! Well, Anthony Bowens is, at least. Bowens pushes past The Learning Tree and he joins AJ & Justice in the ring. Bowens has the music cut, and he tells Jericho that he doesn’t get why Scissor King is catching strays, but you caught his attention. Jericho is trying to intimidate a man in a walking boot and an 11 year old child while spouting nonsense about being the King of New York. Why doesn’t Jericho do what he has asked so many others in the past: SHUT THE HELL UP!
The fans cheer but Big Bill says, “As the Learning Tree always says, when a man tries to silence another man, he’s probably afraid of the truth.” The fans do cheer Big Bill because he is from New York. Bowens says he has no idea what that means, Bill. But he does know we’re live on TNT, Christmas Collision, Hammerstein Ballroom, New York City! So Chris, why not walk your ass to this ring and get it whipped by the Scissor King?! Jericho says if Bowens wants him to do that, then not tonight. Jericho waves bye, but AJ says hold on, listen up. We know Jericho is running scared, but we know at some point, Bowens will get to bring the-
Bowens stops the Boom? Because he wants to scissor! AJ says okay, and they SCISSOR BOOM~! But is that true? Will Anthony Bowens be the one to tear down the Learning Tree and be a champion?
Backstage interview with The Vendetta.
Lexy is now with Deonna Purrazzo & Taya Valkyrie, and they’ve got a hot streak going. Deonna’s message last week was ominous, but who was it for? Taya says there are so many options. Everyone deserves a slice of The Vendetta. There’s Mercedes, Mariah, Toni Storm, even Lexy could get some, so watch your back. Speaking of Toni, she stumbles in and apologizes for interrupting. She just wants to say hi to everyone, hello. Oh, Deonna, a pleasure. Deonna says she knows who Toni is. R-Really? So cool! Taya says she’ll make a guess: Toni has a tattoo on her leg, a little duck with a knife through it.
Wow, how’d Taya know? Deonna says no no no, she is not doing this again. She does not get what sick crap Toni’s up to, but she is already done with it. So for Dynamite’s Miracle on 34th Street, Toni VS Taya! Taya says she’ll make Toni forget everything! Toni nervously thanks The Vendetta, and says this is a big opportunity to face someone like Taya. Toni leaves, Deonna and Taya sigh, and Lexy has no idea what to say. Is Toni’s mind unraveling before our eyes? Or is there still a bit of Timeless inside Toni Time?

Julia Hart speaks.
“Jamie, Jamie, Jamie. I’m no coward. What you call tricks, I call advantages. I suggested that you watch your back. I gave you all the warnings. So I’m not understanding why you feel the need to call me classless and sneaky. I thought I was being more than reasonable. I know you’re strong, but are you smart? Are my ‘tricks’ too much for you? I guess we’ll find out January 1st, Fight for the Fallen. But remember: The House Always Wins.” The Princess of the Black Throne is ready, but will she learn Hayter Hits Hard?

The Swiss Superman screws over Darby, but then he gets that chair back. But wait, Ospreay slides into the ring! And HE has the brass knuckles that Claudio tossed aside! Ospreay dares Claudio to do something, but Claudio simply leaves. Does this mean Ospreay’s ready to ride against the Death Riders with Darby? Or will we see a Miracle on 34th Street send Ospreay and Darby to Worlds End?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here as the last one before Worlds End, and therefore a bit of a go-home in itself. While the continued feud of MJF and Cole has still been a bit clunky since they did the double turn, their faceoff did a good job addressing some of that. They got good digs at each other as always, and MJF snapping and revealing “the truth” was their big move to recover this story. We of course got a brawl, and good save by The Kingdom. It feels like MJF still finds a way to hold onto the diamond ring, but c’mon, how fitting is it for Cole to get a diamond.
Good bit with Toni Storm and The Vendetta, and Deonna’s reaction to Toni was great. Deonna is justified in thinking this is still an act from Toni, not a legitimate psychological problem, and Toni VS Taya will be good stuff. Good promo from Kris Statlander, good match from her and Penelope Ford, and of course a good win for Kris. Good promo from Mone to make Worlds End official, but as I’ve been saying, Mone is more likely to lose the NJPW Strong Women’s Championship as part of the big NJPW Tokyo Dome weekend. The irony is, Mina Shirakawa is her challenger and Mina shows up plenty in AEW, so I don’t know how that math is supposed to work.
Good promo from Mariah May as it also turned into a brawl with Thunder Rosa. As it stands, Rosa standing tall holding up the belt means she is NOT winning at Worlds End, but they could still give us a little more from Rosa and Mariah on Dynamite’s Christmas episode to turn the tables. Good promo from Julia Hart to respond to Jamie Hayter, they’ll have a good match. Good promo from Orange Cassidy to try and reason with Jay White and Hangman Page, but that’s all the more reason Moxley likely uses the challengers all against each other like he did on Wednesday. Though, it would be fun if they at least started the match all annihilating Moxley with their finishers, making us think it’ll work out in favor of “Team AEW.”
Good stuff with Big Boom AJ & Big Justice here tonight, both hyping up the show but also interacting with Jericho’s group and even Anthony Bowens. They’re adding some more foreshadowing to The Acclaimed breaking up, and I guess we’re supposed to see this as a positive move, Bowens feuding with Jericho. Unless Bowens is going to be the guy that dethrones Jericho for whatever ROH cable TV debut/return is planned, the Jericho Vortex strikes again. Bowens should be going for an AEW midcard title, but right now, those are all tied up what with the C2 going on and the International Championship being tied up in Worlds End and NJPW plans.
Speaking of the C2, great stuff with all the matches tonight. Shelton VS Garcia was great stuff, and while Garcia gets the win, they’re still giving us some set-up for a TNT Championship match of Garcia VS Shelton. Mark Briscoe of course made the save, but great surprise for Swerve to show up. Lashley VS Swerve for Worlds End just needs to be said, it already feels a given. All that brawling was also a good segue into Mark VS Mortos, and another great showing for Mortos, even in losing. But as Mark has already had all his matches and is at 9 points, Kyle doesn’t even need to win against Garcia, he just needs to draw so that Mark will be out, and Garcia with him.
While Ospreay VS Darby on Wednesday raised the bar, Ospreay VS Ricochet still had great stuff of its own. Plus, Ricochet is bringing out more of his Heel side what with using the ref, and Ricochet’s win puts the pressure on Ospreay for Christmas Dynamite. Now, no offense to Brody King, but I’m thinking Ospreay wins that to take one of the semifinal spots. Darby VS Claudio tonight was also great, but Darby doing his best Sting off the truss was not the best when he gets that whiplash on the floor. I really thought that match was going to be called for concussion protocol, but Darby’s weirdly indestructible.
Claudio still cheats this win so there’s more heat on the Death Riders and Darby is also behind the 8 ball. Ospreay making the save was good, we can definitely have another “Team AEW” VS Death Riders with Ospreay joining Darby and a couple others, but the way they did the order of matches, Claudio’s got a seemingly easy ride against Komander for Christmas. Though, how awesome would it be if Komander pulled off the spoiler? Or if they were really going to add some drama, they should create a situation where the Death Riders end up ringside, violating the Continental Rules of no cornermen and that disqualifies Claudio. Claudio misses out on the semifinals because of a technicality, sending Ospreay and maybe Ricochet to the semifinals.
My Score: 8.8/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Tony Schiavone is in the ring!
Schiavone welcomes out the Blue League’s current points leader, Kyle Fletcher, and of course… Don Callis. But they’re not alone as the rest of the Don Callis Family makes their way out to the ring. Wait, shouldn’t Brian Cage be in New York for Final Battle…? Well anyway, Schiavone says there’s a lot of gold and- Callis takes the mic, and he says, “I have something important to say.” The fans boo and Schiavone excuses himself as Callis says the Don Callis Family are the TRUE One Percenters of professional wrestling! They prove it each and every day!
Murder Machines: The most feared tag team in the world! “Don Callis’ favorite wrestler,” Kyle Fletcher, shows every day why he is THE One Percent! He beat Will Ospreay! He beat Kazuchika Okada! And now, he’s gonna beat Daniel Garcia and win the Continental Classic! Callis hands the mic over to Kyle and Kyle says it might be true that last Saturday wasn’t the best day for Kyle, but anyone watching that match saw the clear bias from the officials in this company! The fans boo as Kyle claims there is an agenda in AEW to see the Don Callis Family NOT succeed. But it doesn’t matter, it changes nothing!
Kyle WILL be the winner of the 2024 Continental Classic. That brings Kyle to Daniel Garcia. “You wanna talk about restoring the feeling, Daniel? I couldn’t care less about your feelings! All I speak are facts! And the fact is, I am the hottest young prospect in this industry, and I will be the future of this whole place!” The fans boo more but Callis says one last thing he wants to say, is when you’re the One Percent, you’re not like the other 99! They are not like all of these fans! They are not like “the boys in the back,” like Mark Davis & Will Hobbs, “a couple of scab workers!” They’re not even in the same business, Hobbs!
And Callis has waited to get Hobbs on a PPV so that the world could watch why they call Konosuke Takeshita “The Alpha.” And Hobbs, YOU are not in the same business as Konosuke, and you find that out at Worlds End! But speaking of, here comes the Powerhouse! Will he and Dunkzilla finish things with the Don Callis Family? Or will the AEW International and ROH World TV Champions get even for last week?
Konosuke Takeshita & Brian Cage w/ Don Callis VS “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs & Mark Davis!
The teams sort out and Konosuke starts against Hobbs to give the DC fans a preview of Worlds End. Hobbs and Konosuke step up, talk trash, and then the forearms go back and forth! The fans cheer for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” and Hobbs ROCKS Konosuke! Hobbs even shouts “MEAT!” before he whips Konosuke. Konosuke ducks ‘n’ dodges but then so does Hobbs! Hobbs SPINE- NO, Konosuke flails free and Hobbs says it was that close. Konosuke says to cool off while he paces on the outside. Konosuke steps back into the ring, but he tags to Cage.

Backstage interview with Willow Nightingale.
Renee Paquette is with the Babe with the Power who is in action later tonight. But first, Renee wants to congratulate Willow to making it to the finals of the inaugural International Women’s Cup. She heads off to Tokyo very soon, how is she feeling about it? Willow is very excited. Inaugural WrestleDynasty, one step closer to the inaugural International Women’s Cup winner, and so it is mind boggling after how- Kris Statlander steps in. Kris tells Willow that there is a lot she should say, but for now, she’ll say good luck at the Tokyo Dome. #BornAgainKristen takes Willow by surprise, will Willow win tonight and have momentum going to the New Year?
Lio Rush & Action Andretti VS Myles Hawkins & Goldy!
The dysfunction in Top Flight Airlines led to The Bad Child & The Sight to See winning over Darius & Dante Martin, meaning they’re next up to face Private Party. Will this be little more than a tune-up for Lio & Action?
The teams sort out, Lio starts against Myles, but then Lio handspring kicks Goldy off the apron! Myles back suplexes but Lio lands out and then dodges! Myles falls out of the ring, Action handspring kicks him down! Lio DIVES onto Goldy! Action DIVES onto Myles! The fans fire up as Action puts Myles in fast. Lio joins Action and they mug Myles.

Action runs up, Goldy dodges, but Lio LARIATS Goldy on the other side! Myles whips Lio but Lio hits RUSH HOUR! Action torture racks Myles for a NECKBREAKER! Lio covers, Lio & Action win!
Winners: Lio Rush & Action Andretti, by pinfall
Fast win for this furious duo, but “Oh my gosh, is that Private Party?” Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy make their way out here and DC fires up! The AEW World Tag Team Champions call for “SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!” Lio & Action get their shot in the near future, but wait! Dante & Darius make their way out here? Private Party looks to the tunnels, but Lio & Action CLOBBER them from behind! Dante, Darius & Leila don’t worry about the champs, they stare Lio & Action down. Lio & Action hold up the belts, then throw them at the Martins. The refs keep this from getting any more physical, but will Lio & Action take those belts from Quen & Zay soon enough?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee is now with the “multifaceted” Harley and notes she’s in action against Willow Nightingale tonight. Harley says yes, she IS multifaceted. She wants us to appreciate ALL her facets! Renee says yes, but she has yet to earn a singles win in AEW. Fine, ruin her fun. But then Harley asks if some person off camera is gonna say anything or just stand there. In steps Penelope Ford, and Mrs. Superbad says yes, she was simply observing. But Ford couldn’t help but notice that she and Harley share a lot of similar… facets. Harley asks how much Ford’s cost. Uh, no, not those…
Ford meant that she hasn’t had such a good 2024, either. So from The Bad Girl to the… Harley doesn’t have a good nickname yet. Well, don’t worry about it. Ford will watch Harley’s back and Harley will watch Ford’s. Wait, is something on Harley’s back? No, Harley… Just good luck. FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAMERON! No, she was being nice to you, Harley. Right, don’t feel the wrath of Harley Cameron. There is nothing on your back, Harley, stop scratching. Wait! W-What? Nothing, sorry. But will Harley be feeling Willow’s wrath instead?
Willow Nightingale VS Harley Cameron!
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two tie up. Harley pushes but Willow digs in her heels to SHOVE Harley down. Harley comes back, she and Willow reset and tie up again.

Willow bumps Harley off buckles, then fires LARIAT after LARIAT! The fans count al the way to TEN!
Willow brings Harley out with a smile, and scoop SLAMS her! Harley flounders, Willow storms up on her for another scoop and SLAM, right as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Willow storms around while Harley staggers up. Willow scoops Harley again, then carries her around to put her in the Tree of Woe! Willow stomps a mudhole in, then lets off to run up! But Harley BOOTS her while upside-down! Harley gets free, ELBOWS Willow, then runs to knee her low! Harley runs with Willow to HOTSHOT BULLDOG! Willow is stuck in ropes, and Harley AX KICKS her! Harley then headscissors Willow to CHOKE her in the ropes! The ref counts, Harley lets go at 4, and Harley soaks up cheers and jeers from DC. Harley stomps Willow, then drags her to the outside. Harley SMACKS Willow off the apron!
Harley paces while Willow flounders, and Harley has her against railing. Harley CHOPS Willow, then brings her around. Willow blocks the bump to SMACK Harley off the apron! Harley turns things around to SMACK Willow off the apron! Harley shoves Willow in, storms up on her, and stands her up for buckle bumps.

Holiday Bash returns and Willow CANNONBALLS, but Harley dodges! Willow hits only buckles and she hobbles after Harley. Harley kicks, KNEES, and ENZIGIRIS! Harley roars, runs, and SHINING WIZARDS! Cover, TWO! The fans fire up but Harley grows frustrated. The fans rally while Harley waistlocks, but Willow switches! Harley kicks free to switch back, but Willow ELBOWS Harley back! Willow fireman’s carries, storms around, but Harley pops up! Harley fires down elbows, then victory rolls, TWO! Willow escapes and ROCKS Harley! Fireman’s carry, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Cover, TWO!
Harley survives but Willow roars! The fans fire up as the straps come down! Willow gut wrenches for the BABE WITH THE POWER BOMB!! Cover, Willow wins!
Winner: Willow Nightingale, by pinfall
Willow faced the wrath of Harley Cameron and she prevailed! But then PENELOPE FORD goes after Willow! The fans boo but Ford did say she’d back Harley up. They both beat up on Willow, but here comes Kris! Kris Statlander storms the ring, Harley & Ford run away! Willow is again surprised, but the fans want these two to “Hug It Out! Hug It Out!” Kris says no, she doesn’t feel like it’s the right time. Kris lets Willow have the ring, is this proof that the #BornAgainKristen isn’t just a nickname?
Team Triple J speaks backstage.
Standing alongside Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh, as well as Jeff & Karen Jarrett, Sonjay Dutt says, “They’ve asked us to look back and reflect on 2024, and Jeff, guys, what an incredible series of moments we’ve had in 2024.” The group agrees. From Wembley Stadium to Double J being in the Owen Hart Cup, some true career highlights that he will cherish forever. But Jarrett doesn’t like looking in the rearview mirror, he likes to look ahead. Next week, he’s not bringing resolutions, he’s bringing a game plan for 2025! What does the Last Outlaw have in store for himself and the team in the New Year?
AEW Continental Classic, Gold League: Brody King VS Komander!
While the rest of Gold League stands at 6 points, these two men are struggling to keep up. Will the King of Death join that traffic jam at the front of the block? Or will the Commander of the Skies be a spoiler for Christmas?
The bell rings and we’re on the clock. Brody and Komander circle while the fans bark it up. There are fans who sing “OLE~ OLE OLE OLE~” for Komander as the two tie up. But then Brody picks Komande up with both hands, and puts him on the to rope. Brody pats Komander on the shoulder, and the fans bark more. Komander hops down, not intimidated by Brody’s size. Komander then dodges Brody, DROPKICKS him, but Brody CLOBBERS Komander on the return! Brody eggs Komander on and then scuffs him. Komander gets mad and CHOPS! Brody grins and eggs Komander on. Komander CHOPS, but Brody wants more!
Komander fires up to CHOP, but Brody CHOPS Komander down! The fans fire up and Brody grins. Komander sputters, Brody paces, and Brody drags Komander up. Brody CHOPS Komander again! Brody bumps Komander off buckles, CHOPS again, and Komander flounders away! Brody stalks Komander to the corner, CHOPS him again, and Komander falls over! Brody hauls Komander up, whips him, but Komander goes up and over! Komander ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Brody BACKDROPS Komander! The fans bark while Komander writhes, and Brody drags Komander up. But Komander fires body shots and a CHOP!
Brody KNEES low and Komander drops. Brody CHOPS Komander again! Brody asks, “Are you done?!” Brody whips Komander, but Komander ducks ‘n’ dodges to then springboard, but Brody catches Komander with ease! Brody pops Komander up, but Komander pops free, sunset flip, ONE!! Brody drags Komander up and CLUBS him! Komander wobbles, Brody ROCKS him again! Brody drags Komander off the ropes, suplexes, but Komander slips around! SLEEPER! Big men still have to breathe, but Brody RAMS Komander into the buckles! Brody swings, misses, and that bad hand hits post! Komander fires KICKS on the legs!
Komander bobs ‘n’ weaves, kicks, mule kicks and ENZIGIRIS! Brody wobbles and the fans rally up! Komander knuckle locks, CHOPS, and he goes up and up and jumps around! But Brody breaks the grip and DOUBLE CHOPS Komander to the floor! The fans bark it up and the ref checks Komander while Rampage goes picture in picture.
Brody storms out after Komander, who is somehow still in this. Brody drags Komander up, and he whips Komander hard into railing! Brody revels in the DC dogs barking, and Brody stands Komander up. Brody CHOPS Komander off his feet, then refreshes the ring count. Brody drags Komander up, and whips him hard into railing! So hard, in fact, that Komander goes up and over! Brody hurries to haul Komander back up, and he suplexes Komander to the floor! Komander writhes more while Brody refreshes the count again. Brody goes back to Komander, scuffs him, and brings him back up.
Komander KICKS Brody, CHOPS, but Brody CHOPS him down! Brody revels in the noise from DC while he stands on Komander’s neck! The ref reprimands, Brody steps off and rolls into the ring. Brody again refreshes the count so he can fetch Komander. Brody puts Komander in the ring, covers, TWO! Komander is still in this but Brody is more amused than anything. Brody paces then brings Komander up. Brody CHOPS Komander to a corner, then revels in the noise a bit more. Brody then digs his boot into Komander, but lets off as the ref counts.

Another direct hit and Komander feels so close to his first points in the C2!
Komander hurries to get in the ring, but then slides out to start a new ring count. Komander climbs again while Brody rises. Komander watches Brody slide in, then tightrope walks to CIELITO LINDO!! But that was on Brody’s back! Komander pushes Brody but that’s a lot of dead weight to push! Brody sits up but Komander KICKS him! Komander roars, the fans fire up, handspring- TORTURE RACK! Brody flips Komander around, GONZO BOMB!! Cover, Brody wins!!
Winner: Brody King, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Komander earns 0)
If it wasn’t clear before, this was a painful punctuation mark, Komander is mathematically ELIMINATED from the semifinals. However, Komander’s final C2 match is Dynamite’s Miracle on 34th Street against Claudio Castagnoli! Can Komander be the biggest spoiler of this entire tournament? Can Brody prove to everyone in the Gold League that the House Always Wins?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here for Holiday Bash, though some clear redundancies from last week’s Winter is Coming edition. We got another group Don Callis Promo, and we barely got anything different from Callis and Kyle. The tag match’s only changes were Cage switching in for Archer, even though Cage is in reality defending his ROH World TV Championship in the Hammerstein Ballroom for Final Battle, and then the Callis Family wins this time so Hobbs and Konosuke can be even going towards Worlds End. Now, Konosuke could very well retain the International Championship at Worlds End because NJPW is totally open to Konosuke Takeshita VS Shingo Takagi being Winner Takes All, AEW International and NEVER Openweight titles on the line together.
Lio & Action of course won their match, but the real purpose was to get a confrontation out of them, Private Party and OG Top Flight, Darius & Dante. Good stuff, and it teases anywhere between a Triple Threat to Lio & Action VS Darius & Dante Round 2. Very good promo from Triple J to set up for something, anything really, for 2025. Fight for the Fallen can even be the start of whatever that plan is as part of the “mother of all streams.” And good stuff with the women’s division tonight. Ford & Harley makes a natural duo now given their names, and Willow and Kris could possibly reunite now that Kris is a Face again. That wouldn’t really make up for the weird fumble in the middle where Tony Khan just wanted Kris to get away from Stokely, but hey, this story itself could be really well done.
And great stuff out of Brody VS Komander, really got the drama going before the end. I mean, we all knew Komander was out of the running before tonight, and was most certainly taking the loss here, but Komander got to really show some grit. And now, five people at 6 points going into the final round, they’re really adding great drama to Gold League. Collision tomorrow and then Dynamite Miracle on 34th Street will be some great stuff, but I still think Ospreay should be one of the semifinalists, the second spot can be whoever they want.
My Score: 8.8/10
