Someone pulls up to the arena.
It’s Ricky Starks! Absolute gets out of the car, gets his bags, and shows off the King of Harts belt. “Tonight, we’re celebrating in Absolute style, baby!” Will Starks be having fun here tonight? Or will someone look to crash the party?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He has Newark open up with a celebration, let’s bring out the winner of the 2023 Men’s Owen Hart Cup, RICKY STARKS! Fans cheer as Starks makes his entrance, bringing his bag and belt with him to the ring. Starks even gets pyro for the occasion! So much pyro! Too much pyro? Is it all the pyro AEW brought tonight? Ricky steps into the ring with Schiavone and Schiavone says congratulations. Starks won the cup, the belt, and is the King of Harts. But not without controversy, where Starks held the ropes to win. Fans still chant “You Deserve It!” and Starks smiles. Starks says, “I’ve never agreed more with a city in my life until tonight.”
But before he addresses what Schiavone is bringing up, he wants us all to know, “What’s in the bag? What’s in the bag, Ricky?” Glad they asked! NOTHING, he just wants to show off the new Louis Vuitton he bought after winning the tournament! Fans cheer that, and Starks then says, “HOT DAMN I’m the man!” Now he knows people are talking about the controversy. But what does it matter? Twenty years from now, they’ll be asking Starks how many wins, not how he wins. And if anyone else was in Starks’ shoes–which are Prada, by the way–they’d have done the exact same thing. So the way Starks sees it, he got in there and got the job done the only way he knows how: any means necessary!
Don’t talk to him about right and wrong, but about how he is stylish, and sexy, and how he’s the man! But what about the disrespect when Starks blew right by Jushin Thunder Liger when he grabbed the cup? No disrespect, Liger is a legend, but Starks is Absolute. Now, here’s something Starks wants to talk about: everyone wants to make comparisons. NO, Starks is himself. He is happy for the fans who say Starks should be a Young Pillar, it is a great sentiment, but nuh-uh, Starks don’t wanna be no damn pillar! He stands on his own as Absolute, and you tell him how many Owens have the Four Pillars won? EXACTLY!
But wait, here comes CM Punk. No theme song, no fanfare, he just goes right to the ring. Punk stands with Schiavone and Starks, and fans are torn. Punk says he isn’t here to rain on parades, this is Starks’ celebration. Punk knew everyone here in New Jersey probably thought he’d storm out here, shouting and screaming. But he’s not mad. If he’s mad, it’s at himself. In fact, looking at Starks, Punk is kinda proud. Fans are confused but Punk cannot stand here as an honest man and say he’s never cheated. And he certainly can’t stand in New Jersey and act like the fans never cheated, either. Fans boo, but who knows if that’s true.
Punk says maybe if the Jersey Devils had Starks’ wherewithal, they would’ve made it outta the first round. Fans boo more, but we all know Punk is a Blackhawks guy. But in all seriousness, Punk can live with the L. But can Starks live with the W, knowing how he did it? That he can’t beat Punk clean? Punk leaves Starks with that, and Starks tells him to hold on! Punk, man, Starks’ bag is as empty as Punk’s red bag. That gets Punk to come back! Punk stares Starks down and fans get back on his side in this. Punk tells Starks, “You wanna shot at what’s in the bag, Ricky? Or are you like Lil’ Max and just don’t want me to have it?”
Punk is the REAL AEW World Champion. Fans are torn there, but then out walks Christian Cage & Luchasaurus! Christian wants everyone to hold on, because they are contractually obligated as TNT Champion to appear in front of the live audience. But this is taking a little too long for Christian’s liking. He doesn’t wanna spend any more time in New Jersey than he has to, and they’re called “Dirty Jersey” for a reason, “you sweathogs.” So Christian wants them to shut up while he conducts business. He has a question for Punk: What kind of man carries around a title he didn’t win? Fans boo the hypocrisy right before our very eyes.
Punk laughs but Christian says he knows the answer. Just continue doing whatever this is, he and Luchasaurus are gonna go. But a quick reminder that Christian- ER, they are the faces of TNT now and forever! But here comes DARBY ALLIN! He snatches the mic right outta Christian’s hand and continues to the ring! Fans fire up for Darby and he tells Ricky that he doesn’t like the term “Pillar,” either. Four men can’t be the pillars. Anyone who is ride or die with AEW is a pillar! Just like his “good friend,” CM Punk. Darby side hugs Punk and Punk pats him on the back. Darby then asks Christian & Luchasaurus, “Who’s the champion? Is it you? Or is it you?”
But it doesn’t matter to him, because at All Out, he becomes the new Face of TNT! And he’ll put respect back on that title! Cuz when he looks at Luchasaurus, all Darby sees is a guy who took too many drugs and thinks he’s a dinosaur. Christian holds Luchasaurus back, and Darby says he isn’t here to talk. He has an idea: Tag team match! Darby & Punk VS Starks and… Well, Christian doesn’t even wrestle anymore, so make it the TNT Champion, Luchasaurus. Fans fire up for that idea! Christian says he’s the champion? Really? Then get in the tag match tonight. Christian hesitates, fans chant “YES! YES! YES!” but Tony Khan chimes in.
Schiavone says Khan makes it official! Starks & Luchasaurus, or Christian, against Darby and Punk! Fans fire up for that, and Darby says, “See you tonight, Champ.” The Relentless One just shook things up, will he and Punk get to go all out before having it out in September?
AEW shares footage from just before we went on the air.
Andrade El Idolo arrived, security said hello, but told him that after the incident last week, management can’t allow Andrade into the building. What? Sam, c’mon. The House of Black stole his mask! This is why he’s here. But the security insists, he cannot go to the locker room. He has to leave. What? Andrade is frustrated, but has no choice but to leave out the back. Will the House of Black only have to worry about The Acclaimed tonight?
Bullet Club Gold w/ The Gunns VS Action Andretti & Darius Martin!
Jay White & Juice Robinson were so, so close to becoming AEW World Tag Team Championships, but they could not finish off FTR in their Best 2 Out of 3 Falls match. Meanwhile, Action & Darius are rolling after a Zero Hour victory at Death Before Dishonor. Will the Sight to See and the Air Wolf pass the Switchblade & Rock Hard by? Or will the Bang Bang Gang simply reload and try again?
The teams sort out and after a #GunsUp salute, Darius starts against White. The fans chant “ASS~ BOYS!” at Austin & Colten but White and Darius tie up.

Tag to White, and White RAMS into Action again and again! White CHOPS Action down, grabs the legs, and tags Juice. ROPE GUILLOTINE, and then Juice drags Action out, DRAPING NECKBREAKER to the floor! Fans chant “DADDY DOESN’T LOVE~ YOU!” at the Gunns, but they just taunt Action. Darius runs up, but White RAMS him into railing! Darius goes down in a heap, the Gunns join in on a #GunsUp salute, and Juice says you’re looking at the top team in AEW! The ref reprimands everyone as Collision goes picture in picture.

Miro VS Nick Comoroto!
The Redeemer does not need anyone or anything but himself and victory. Will Miro continue to dominate with his own power? Or will the Wrecking Ball break him down with his own power?

Comoroto CLUBS Miro, Miro hits back, and they brawl at ringside! Comoroto RAMS Miro into steel steps! Miro staggers up, Comoroto puts him in the ring, and now the bell rings.

AEW World Trios Championships: The House of Black VS The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn!
While Malakai Black has been tormenting Andrade El Idolo, he, Brody King & Buddy Matthews still reign over the AEW Trios Division. Will that not change, no matter what Max Caster, Anthony Bowens & Daddy Ass try? Or will this rematch be redemption for the challengers?
Collision returns as The Acclaimed make their entrance, and Platinum Max has a diss track ready! “The House of Black gettin’ sniped out. Put you on the floor like it’s drugs at the White House! Your reception is lukewarm, y’all’re my favorite category on YouPorn! It’s just a bunch o’ goth chicks. Hey Buddy, you’re lookin’ kinda nauseous!

Billy wanted this so hard, but he could not withstand the onslaught. Malakai whispers something to Billy, was it something of respect? Or something of a warning?
Wait, Billy is untying his boots? Fans chant “NO! NO! NO!” but Billy is taking his boots OFF! Caster & Bowens are also in shock as Billy keeps going. Fans chant “You Still Got It!” but maybe what Malakai said has convinced Billy otherwise? Bowens & Caster are speechless as Billy stands, boots in hand. Billy drops them at the center of the ring, then steps away! Bowens tries to reason with Billy but Billy walks up the ring. Is this the end of the legendary career of Billy Gunn?
Tony Schiavone is back in the ring.
He welcomes out the greatest tag team in the world today, the AEW World Tag Team Champions, FTR! Fans cheer as Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood make their way out. FTR stands with Schiavone, and he says that with the chant ringing out, one week ago, wow, one of the greatest tag team matches ever. And FTR is still on top. But next week, in Hartford, Connecticut, FTR will defend these titles against the winners of the Blind Eliminator Tag Team Tournament. It will be AEW World Champion, MJF, and Adam Cole VS FTR! Fans cheer that, and Cash asks how Newark’s doing tonight. Fans cheer, they’re good.
Cash checks the list: Aussie Open; The Acclaimed; The Young Bucks. All real tag teams that they have unfinished business with. But first, they have to deal with next week, July 29th, MJF & Adam Cole. Fans again cheer, and Cash says he gets it. The fans like those two, right? Yes! But do you trust MJF? No. Cole, listen: Do you trust Max? Cash doesn’t! That’s from firsthand experience! Anyone remember The Pinnacle? Fans cheer, and Cash saw day in and day out, the kind of person Max really is. And as a wise man once said, the greatest trick the Devil ever pulled is making you believe he doesn’t exist, and he’s doing it again!
So right here, right now, when MJF shows you what he is, and tells you what he is, listen to him. Do NOT trust MJF. Next week, Cole is not beating FTR, baybay. Dax likes where Cash went with that. Dax says that when he was about 14 to 15 years old, his dad had him go out and get a job. Yeah, he booed, too. But every single day after school, these same group of kids would come by, they were privileged with their parents’ money. Those kid would come in, make fun of Dax cuz Dax had to work for money. But Dax promised himself that if he ever saw those kids again, he’d take his right hand, and crack them in the nose. Never got that chance.
But that scenario reminds him of what’s happening right now. Because to Dax, it just feels like MJF & Cole BAYBAY are take the tag titles as a joke. It feels like they take this match as a joke. And for Dax, those skits, those little moments, and yes he knows the fans like the Double Clothesline. But it’s all the laughs and the dance break in the biggest match of their tag career! For ten YEARS, Dax has done everything he could, torn his ACLs, meniscus, labrums, biceps, and then some just to make FTR the greatest team in pro-wrestling! Fans cheer that, and Dax says next week, in Hartford, which fans boo… Dax says there will be NO comedy.
Dax vows to take out on Cole & MJF what he wanted to take out on those spoiled rich kids all those years ago. FTR will give Max & Adam something the real world never gave them: an ass kicking! #TopGuysOut! Will the Blue Collar Brawlers break the boys from Long Island and Panama City?
Taya Valkyrie VS Skye Blue!
Both La Wera Loca and the Chicago Skye have fallen short of titles, but the chase never ends. Who will take a very important step towards another opportunity?
The bell rings and the two circle. Fans rally for Skey but Taya grins. Taya pats Skye on the head, then shoves her down! Fans boo but Skye stands right up to circle with Taya.

Fans rally as Skye whips, but Taya blocks! Taya whips Skye, but Skye goes to the apron! Skye ROUNDHOUSES Taya away, Taya runs in to BLAST Skye off the apron! Fans rally as Taya goes out, and she SPEARS Skye down! Fans are torn but Taya drags Skye up and into the ring. Taya CLUBS Skye, whips her to ropes, but Skye holds ropes and ELBOWS back! Skye then dodges the boot to throw Taya down by her hair! Fans fire up and Skye fires off!
Skye runs, Taya reels Skye in to lift and BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cover, TWO! Skye survives but Taya is having fun now as we go picture in picture.
Taya stalks Skye, kicks her around, and taunts the fans. Skye goes to a corner, Taya drags her up, and bumps her off buckles! Taya stomps Skye, the ref counts, and Taya lets off. Taya swaggers, takes a bow, and then goes corner to corner, to METEORA! Taya drags Skye to a cover, TWO! Skye hangs tough but that annoys Taya. Taya drags Skye around into a seated full nelson. Skye endures, fans rally up, but Taya leans her weight on the hold. Skye fights up, but Taya throws her down by her hair! The ref reprimands, Taya “apologizes,” then goes back for Skye to SLAP her! Taya stomps Skye, swaggers around and mocks the fans.
Skye crawls along ropes, Taya stomps her down! Taya stomps another mudhole in, but lets off as the ref counts. Taya blows a kiss to the fans, then covers Skye, TWO! Taya drags Skye from ropes, stomps the legs, then stomps them some more. Taya has both legs to LEG SPLITTING LEG DROP! Cover, TWO! Skye is still in this but Taya slaps her around. Skye rises but Taya pushes her around. Skye fires a forearm! Taya ROCKS Skye in return! Skye comes back, they go back and forth, and then Skye gets the edge! Collision returns to single picture as Skye ducks a shot, Taya ducks a shot, and then Skye SUPERKICKS! But Taya LARIATS!
Fans fire up while both women are down! A standing count starts, Taya sits up at 2 of 10 but then flops back over. Skye rises at 4, and she throws a forearm! Taya hits back! Skye throws another, so Taya throws it back! Fans rally as the forearms go back and forth! Now it’s a hockey fight! Skye runs to SHOTGUN! Taya staggers up, into the SHINING WIZARD!

Skye flounders and fans fire up as Taya blows another kiss. Taya storms in and runs up on Skye, but Skye SUPERKICKS! And SOBATS! Skye roars and runs, but Taya LARIATS her back down! Taya isn’t done there, she traps Skye’s legs and pushes on the deathlock. Then Taya gets the arms, SURFBOARD STOMP!! Cover, Taya wins!
Winner: Taya Valkyrie, by pinfall
Skye put up one hell of a fight, but Taya puts her stamp on this one! Taya then gets the mic to say, “Oh my gosh, New Jersey! You’re worse than I thought!” Fans boo but Taya says she’s just kidding. Though not really. Things haven’t gone her way lately, but… Tonight, against one of the “homegrown sweethearts,” Taya won! And guess who else has had a victory lately? Britt Baker! “I mean, on Dynamite this past Wednesday, she won. But it was against an extra. I mean, someone that’s kind of, not on our level.” Taya says they’ve all done it, it’s not that special. So how about this? Dynamite in Albany, for the first time ever, La Wera Loca VS DMD! “Come play with me, Britt.”
Taya wants to take on another homegrown AEW star, but will she be able to break The Doctor? Or will Britt get herself a win with meaning behind it?

Winner: Ricky Starks & Christian Cage, by pinfall
Punk can’t believe it, but Starks snatches another one! Will absolutely nothing stop Starks from taking over AEW?
My Thoughts:
This was a great Collision, lots of great build for things. Great move having Starks go right to the ring from pulling into the parking lot. Great promo segment that transitioned from him and Punk to bringing in Christian and Darby to set up a great tag team main event. They got a full half hour for that main event and they actually made every minute of it matter. In the end, logical move for Starks to cheat another win, he is going further Heel while also further upsetting Punk. This story with Starks and Punk has got to push Punk to put the red gym bag on the line, as it is supposedly where he put his copy of the AEW World Championship.
Great promos from Bullet Club Gold and the team of Action & Darius to also lead into their match. Action & Darius are strong in ROH but not so much in AEW, so BCG winning makes sense. Kinda thought a team would confront them over beating down Action & Darius after but no, that wasn’t needed because it would bring up another feud when BCG’s story is waiting on the tag titles. Great promo from FTR, though Dax could’ve been more concise about his point. MJF definitely fits the privileged kid profile but I’m not sure about Cole. And I do get Dax’s perspective of not wanting “sports entertainment” in the build. Though he kinda breaks kayfabe by calling those “skits.” That aside, FTR VS Better Than You BAYBAY will be awesome stuff next week.
Really good match from Taya and Skye, and of course Taya wins. Taya calls out Britt, that will be a really good match, and it almost feels like maybe Taya is going to become an Outcast? Sure, she just had a match with Toni Storm, and was the Face by default, but Taya could still join up because she and Toni started seeing eye to eye after their match. And Miro VS Comoroto was great stuff, because one, Comoroto attacking Miro was a great move as no one’s really tried that. But of course Miro wins out, but he’s still biding his time while all singles titles are spoken for. I can only hope Miro goes after whoever is AEW World Champion after All Out to move things into Autumn.
And really good stuff with Andrade, House of Black and The Acclaimed. Andrade being banned from the building so that The House of Black didn’t have to worry about him was a nice detail. Caster starting to tease Buddy about the Rhea-Dom stuff was where I figured he’d go, and the match itself was great stuff. I figured the House of Black would win, but what a surprise for Billy to signal retirement. This is surely for story, but there was some great showing of emotion from The Acclaimed, and of course the fans don’t want Daddy Ass to leave just yet. There could be one last match where it’s titles VS Billy’s career, but I guess we’ll wait and see.
My Score: 8.9/10

PLAY BY PLAY
AEW shares footage from after Dynamite.
Darby Allin made the save for Will Ospreay against Claudio Castagnoli, and Ospreay just wanted a second to talk. Ospreay says if Darby didn’t make that save, Ospreay wouldn’t be finishing this tournament. So just a quick one, Ospreay appreciates it and he thanks Darby very much. Darby says he just has this feeling. The same exact feeling that he had when Bryan Danielson got taken out. The same exact feeling he had when Chuck Taylor was taken out. Something is gonna happen again unless they all do something about it, so what is Ospreay willing to do? Darby says they can just find the Death Riders and put an end to this!
Ospreay says easy, now, tiger. But Darby says something is going to happen unless they do something! Ospreay understands, but can’t Darby see Ospreay’s got bigger things going on? He lost at WrestleDream, he lost at Full Gear, that’s back-to-back PPV loses and that does not happen to Ospreay. He has to regain momentum, and that means going through every single person in this tournament, and that includes Darby. Darby says that’s cute. Darby doesn’t care about Ospreay’s personal problems, or anyone else’s, because this is bigger than all of them. This is about AEW. Next year, there might not even be a Continental Classic if they don’t stop this now.
Doesn’t Ospreay see it? The Death Riders will keep chipping away and chipping away at everything that makes AEW what it is. So what is Ospreay doing? What is he doing about it? Ospreay is trying to win this tournament! He needs his momentum back. He can’t just drop everything. Ospreay needs this! So he’ll tell Darby this as a man who respects Darby: Ospreay respects everything Darby’s doing for AEW, but Ospreay needs his momentum. Then maybe afterwards, knock on his door. If Darby needs someone to fight alongside him, Ospreay’s game. See you next week. Ospreay heads out, but will either of them make it to the Holiday Bash?
Here are the current Continental Classic Blue League standings!
Kyle Fletcher: 3-0, 9 points
Kazuchika Okada: 1-1-1, 4 points
Daniel Garcia: 1-1-1, 4 points
Mark Briscoe: 1-2, 3 points
Shelton Benjamin: 1-1, 3 points
The Beast Mortos: 0-2, 0 points
Mark Briscoe speaks.
“Dem Boys in the house tonight, baby! Kyle Fletcher, I’m coming for you! I need this win, mathematically speaking! I’ma show you how we do! I’ma show you that I’m all dog, baby! All dog! ARF ARF RAA!”
Kyle Fletcher speaks.
“Mark Briscoe, I’m sorry, but tonight, you are just another victim for The Protostar. After tonight, it’ll be 12 points Fletch, and I will see you in the semifinals.”
Kazuchika Okada and Beast Mortos speak.
“Beast Mortos.” Mortos ROARS, but Okada says, “No. B*tch Mortos.” The Rainmaker has some strong words for the menacing minotaur, but will Mortos make sure the Continental Champion does NOT make it to Worlds End?
WrestleDynasty International Women’s Cup Qualifier AEW Finals: Jamie Hayter VS Willow Nightingale!
As the New Year approaches, so does that massive weekend in the Tokyo Dome! WrestleDynasty’s International Women’s Cup awaits, but will Hayter Hit Hard enough to punch her ticket to Japan? Or will the Babe with the Power look to add to her international list of accolades?

Willow flops to the floor, but the lights go out!
Hayter looks around in a bit of a panic, was that Julia Hart teasing something? After all, Hart’s been calling her out lately. Willow uses the distraction to RAM Hayter into the apron! Willow then climbs up, and the fans fire up as Willow runs, CANNONBALL to the floor! The fans fire up with Willow while Collision goes picture in picture.

That was a powerful battle from powerful young women, but it is the former AEW TBS Champion, former CMLL Women’s World Champion, and former inaugural NJPW Strong Women’s Champion who is heading to the Tokyo Dome! She will join ROH’s Athena, CMLL’s Persephone, and a Stardom star yet to be determined, who will bring home that International Women’s Cup, and the title match promise that comes with it?
As for Hayter, the lights go out for real this time! And when they come back up, JULIA HART has Hayter in position! HAMMERLOCK DDT!! Julia Hart strikes when the time is right, but will the Princess of the Black Throne make sure Hayter knows The House Always Wins?
Brody King speaks.
“When I think of the Continental Classic, I think of prestige, I think of respect. Cowards take the easy way out. Ricochet, you are a coward.” Brody is referring to Ricochet exposing a top turnbuckle and then using it against Brody. Brody says, “I have no respect for you.”
Claudio Castagnoli speaks.
“Some of my colleagues, they would be angry that they lost. I’m also not losing sight of the bigger picture. They would trade victory for success. They would rather win 100 matches than win the war.”
Strong words from two of the physically strongest men in this tournament, but to Claudio’s point, the war is not over as the round robin continues on. Will either Brody or Claudio make comebacks before we reach Worlds End?
AEW Continental Classic, Blue League: Kazuchika Okada VS The Beast Mortos!
The Continental Champion had quite the message for his opponent tonight, but the menacing minotaur never has words, only roaring and violence! Will Mortos do plenty of that to bring down the champ? Or will the Rainmaker prove he’s still the greatest tournament wrestler today?
The bell rings and we’re on the clock. The fans rally up as Okada and Mortos circle. They tie up, Mortos powers Okada to ropes, but Okada turns things around.

Okada climbs up, fires forearms, but Mortos HEADBUTTS! Okada staggers away, Mortos rises, but Okada gets under the leap! Mortos comes back, into a FLAPJACK! The fans fire up while both men are down! Mortos rises first, but then flops back down. Okada stands, the fans rally, and Okada wrenches Mortos for a MONEY CLIP! Mortos endures, reaches out, and the fans rally again.

Mortos may be at zero points, but he still made Okada earn his! Okada is standing firm at second right now with 7 points, but can Mark Briscoe make it easier on everyone by bringing down Kyle Fletcher?
Toni Storm VS Shazza McKenzie!
It was quite the shocking return for the former AEW Women’s World Champion last Wednesday night on Dynamite, especially since she was no longer Timeless! Toni got her big in-ring return just last night on Rampage, will she keep that momentum going after tonight’s Collision?

Another win in the comeback tour and Toni grabs a mic. “I never thought that I would get to say this, but Toni Storm is officially All Elite!” Uh, y-yeah? Toni is definitely back, but will she return back to the top of AEW?
AEW shares more footage from after Dynamite.
Reporters caught up with Mariah May to ask her about the return of Toni Storm, and Mariah said she DGAF! What happened to Toni is the same thing that happened to Mina, and it will be the same thing that happens to Thunder Rosa. Every single woman Mariah steps in the ring with has their hopes and dreams, and then they wish they were never born. Mina should just go back to modeling, because her wrestling career as she knows it is over. Mariah didn’t want to do that to Mina, she still loves Mina. But this is just what Mariah does, and will continue to do to any girl that wants to breathe the same air as her. No one can handle the Woman from Hell.
Rosa can go and yell about whatever bat s*it crazy BS she wants, Rosa just needs to name a time and place for Mariah to end her career! As for every other woman in AEW, or any other company, you all have the same dream. But there is only one reality. The Glamour has spoken, but will it fall on deaf ears?
Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa.
Tony Schiavone is with La Mera Mera and brings up Mariah’s comments. Rosa says time and place? March 16th, 2022, San Antonio, Texas, the time and place Rosa won the AEW Women’s World Championship and knew what she was made of. But it doesn’t matter who you ae when you hold the title! What matters is who you are when you aren’t. And Rosa knows in her heart that she is THE champion, for the people and for all of Women’s Wrestling! And that is something Mariah cannot say! And Mariah is cleaning up a mess with her ex-bestie, Toni Storm, but Rosa has a place reserved for Mariah in Hell!
Speaking of Toni Storm, she walks in and says hello, nice to meet everyone. Oh, sorry, she didn’t mean to interrupt. Hi, she’s Toni Storm, she just wanted to introduce herself. They shake hands and Storm says it is a pleasure to meet Thunder Rosa, as well as the living legend, Tony Schiavone. Okay, sorry, she’ll let you all get back to what you were doing. Rock on! Toni heads out and Rosa lets that… odd interaction go. Rosa tells Mariah that in two weeks, her father will be in the audience to see his daughter fight. And she told him to bring a handful of dirt from the graveyards of Tijuana to remind Rosa where she comes from, and where she’s taking Mariah.
So it will be December 28th, 2024, Worlds End! Rosa VS Mariah for the AEW Women’s World Championship, in a TIJUANA STREET FIGHT!! La Mera Mera has spoken, will she bury Mariah in the gave Mariah has dug for herself?
AEW World Tag Team Championships #1 Contenders Match: Top Flight VS Lio Rush & Action Andretti!
There has been dysfunction showing itself in Top Flight Airlines, as evident by last week’s Dynamite Dozen Battle Royal. But then a deal was struck with Private Party: Dante & Darius Martin would have it out with their supposed friends, and the winners would get first crack at the titles. Will the team be satisfied one way or another after this? Or will the rift between them all only grow?
The teams sort out and Angel Dorado steps to the Bad Child. The fans rally up as these two stare down, both knowing Dante was the one who brought Lio into the group while Darius was hurt. They tie up, Lio waistlocks but Dante wrenches out to snapmare and body scissor into the sunset flip! TWO, but Dante ghost pins, TWO! Dante shifts around, mouse trap, TWO! Lateral press, TWO! Lio goes Matrix but Dante schoolboys, TWO! Dante wrenches Lio, tags Darius, but Lio gets away. The fans fire up and we see Private Party watching backstage. Lio stands down to talk with Action. Action tags in, and now Darius stares down the man he brought into the group.
Darius and Action tie up, Darius headlocks, but Action powers up to bring Darius to his knees. Action then slips out the back, hits a headlock takeover, but Darius rolls to a cover, ONE! Action holds onto the headlock, Darius powers up and out, but Action RAMS Darius! Darius rebounds to run Actin over! Things speed up, Darius rolls over the dropdown, but Action handsprings through the hip toss! Action talks a bit of smack, but turns around for Darius to trip him up! Action up kicks but Darius rolls to a lateral press, ONE! Action sweeps the legs to cover, ONE! Darius knuckle locks but Action lifts him up!
Action goes up and over Darius to sunset flip, ONE!! They both rush up, Darius slips around to backslide! ONE and Darius wrenches to WRING Action!

10 Man Tag: Daniel Garcia, Orange Cassidy, Komander & The Outrunners VS MXM Collection & The Premier Athletes w/ Mark Sterling!
While there are many things going on right now, from the Continental Classic to the war with the Death Riders, these teams are getting into the NBA spirit by having a 5v5 All Star showdown! Will the TNT Champion, Freshly Squeezed, the Commander of the Skies and the Youngest Men Alive build up some momentum for the holidays? Or will they get dunked on by Mansoor, Mason Madden, Tony Nese, Josh Woods & Ariya Daivari?
Well of course “Smart” Mark has to take over the introductions. And he says that the Premier Athletes have decided to “let the losers of St. Louis,” and of course these “model citizens,” join in on the pregame cheer. So when they say “Athletes,” you say “Rule,” nothing else! Hands in, boys. Oh, and they would be honored for MXM to put the tips in. Mansoor & Maxon put on finger protection before joining in. Ohhh…! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!” Sterling never learns. The teams sort out and Garcia starts against the Technical Beast. The bell rings, the fans rally up, and Woods taunts Garcia.

The ref reprimands, but Nese trips Komander up! Hot tag to Mansoor and then MXM both go after Komander. Mansoor pulls on a leg but Komander’s stuck in a backwards Tree of Woe, so Mansoor gets both legs free. MXM then hauls Komander up, CATWALK LEG DROP! Then they POSE! The fans are torn but Mansoor blows a kiss, and even mocks Garcia’s dance, while Collision goes picture in picture.
Mason joins in on the dance and Garcia wants after them, but the ref keeps him and the team back. MXM kicks Komander around, stomps him, and Mansoor ROCKS Komander to ropes.

Komander comes back to SUPERKICK Mansoor! Komander staggers up, brings Mansoor around, tag to Turbo Floyd! Komander gets the fans fired up and Turbo climbs. Turbo rains down fists, and the fans count along to nine, flex, and TEN! Turbo tags Truth and Truth climbs up to rain down fists! The fans count again, and we go to nine, wind up, and TEN! Mansoor sputters but Truth tags Garcia. Garcia climbs up, he rains down fists, and he goes to nine, puts up his dukes, and he dances on Mansoor’s face! Garcia’s pick-up team is feeling it, and so is St. Louis, while Collision goes to break.
Collision returns as Komander tags in, but Nese & Daivari run up to mug him and The Outrunner! They toss out Turbo & Truth, then TOSS Komander to the corner! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!” But then Garcia & Cassidy drag Nese & Daivari out of the ring! They brawl, Nese THROWS Garcia into railing while Daivari DECKS Cassidy! Komander is up and he builds speed, but Sterling trips him up! The fans boo but the ref missed that because Mansoor is distracting him! Komander grabs Sterling by the tie and the fans fire up, but Daivari CLOBBERS Sterling! The fans boo more but Daivari puts Komander on the apron.
Nese is on the apron and he suplexes Komander up and in for Woods, who then holds Komander up. Mason runs in, BOOT POWERBOMB COMBO!! Mansoor is up top now, FROG SPLASH!! Woods covers, Team Garcia all breaks it up! The fans fire up but now it’s a brawl! Team Garcia and the #PremierCollection all tumble out, Mason & Mansoor get Cassidy up! Cassidy fights the Centerfold, and Garcia slides in so he can SAIDO Mansoor! Mason HEADBUTTS Garcia! Cassidy tilt-o-whirls to DDT Mason! Cassidy kips up, the fans fire up, and Cassidy DIVES onto Mansoor! Cassidy sends Mansoor to a corner for Garcia to SHOTGUN!
The fans are thunderous as Koamnder is up top! Tightrope walk, for the SPACEMAN SWANTON! And he tags Cassidy on the way! Cassidy throws off the elbow pad, takes aim at Woods, but Sterling gets on the apron! Cassidy ORANGE PUNCHES Sterling!! Then he dodges Woods, ORANGE PUNCH!! Cover, Team Garcia wins!
Winners: Daniel Garcia, Orange Cassidy, Komander & The Outrunners, by pinfall
The team celebrates, that was a Freshly Squeezed victory! But while this was a big win and a lot of fun, it is time to focus on Worlds End. Will Garcia make his way out of the league to head for the Continental Championship? Will Cassidy overcome the Fatal 4 Way odds to finally be THE AEW World Champion?
Don Callis speaks.
“I had a bad night last night. A couple of turncoats who used to be under my employ, ‘Powerhouse’ Hobbs and Mark Davis, did a little switcharoo, a little number on the Don Callis Family. I woke up today with a hole in my heart because of that, but then I got fantastic news. The gods have smiled upon me because I am getting, in two week’s time, at Worlds End, I am getting my revenge on Powerhouse Hobbs. That’s right, a match against the Alpha, Konosuke Takeshita, has been granted. And it’s in two weeks at Worlds End, and I can’t wait.
‘If you thought everything was coming up the Don Callis Family, I’ve got one more thing to be excited about! Kyle Fletcher is getting ready right now to be in the main event tonight! And run the table and mathematically ensure that he goes on to Worlds End and then wins the Continental Championship, when he beats that degenerate, Mark Briscoe tonight on Collision. That is why the Don Callis Family is the true one percenters of professional wrestling. And you’re gonna see it tonight, and you’re gonna see it at Worlds End. And Hobbs, I’m gonna send you right back to the unemployment line.” Callis has made his promises, but will Konosuke and Kyle be able to keep them?
AEW Continental Classic, Blue League: Kyle Fletcher VS Mark Briscoe!
The Protostar is already 3-0 with 9 points, the standalone leader of this block. But will he solidify that position as Blue League’s number one seed? Or will the Aussie Arrow completely miss hitting the Sussex County Chicken?

Literally last minute, and the Sussex County Chicken snatches victory from the jaws of defeat! Callis is very upset by this upset victory, and now Mark has new life in the C2! Cassidy & Willow come out to celebrate with him, could Mark make himself one of the semifinalists going into Worlds End?
The Death Riders have hijacked a camera!
Jon Moxley checks if they’re rolling, and Wheeler Yuta says yeah, it’s rolling. He knows how to work that thing? Yeah. Moxley says FTR are about to get lost on their way home tonight. Oh, here they come. The Death Riders watch as Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood walk through the backstage area. Then Marina Shafir stands in their way. Claudio & Pac snatch FTR with blindfold bags! FTR fights but Moxley helps outnumber the #TopGuys, and they drag FTR out to the parking lot. Yuta keeps the camera on him as he smiles and laughs at the carnage happening just on the other side of the wall. Will the Death Riders personally see to it that there is NO ONE to stand against them?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here to wrap Winter is Coming Week, and I do appreciate they’re trying to get more and more people into the Death Rider story, as they should. To that end, good promo from Darby and Ospreay to try and get Ospreay to consider his part in all this. I get Ospreay’s side, he just wants to wrestle, win, and become champion again, but considering Claudio is in Gold League with him, he could end up a target, compelling Ospreay to join the fight. And quite the closing moment, with Death Riders going after FTR because they saved Cassidy from their attack. It’ll be quite the AEW Justice League moment when names like Cassidy, FTR, Ospreay and a few others stand against The Death Riders. And I say Justice League because DC Comics is Warner Brothers Discovery, too.
Speaking of the Continental Classic, awesome matches tonight for Blue League. Mortos was of course losing to Okada but he looked great against the champ. Good promo from Callis to hype up both the International Championship match of Konosuke VS Hobbs and tonight’s main event, and what an awesome win for Mark Briscoe. Kyle is leading at 9, but Okada is second at 7 and Mark is third at 6, and things could really get wild in the last round of Blue League competition. I feel like it should still come down to Okada and Kyle because Okada is the champ and should have a chance at defending his belt, and Kyle could potentially face Ospreay again.
Great 10 Man Tag from Garcia, Komander, Cassidy & Outrunners VS Premier Athletes & MXM, but it was clearly all for the fun so that the fans could stay energized during these long tapings. Good squash match win for Kris Statlander, but I feel like Lynn didn’t sell being held up for a 20+ stalling suplex much at all. Equally good squash match win for Toni Storm, and I absolutely LOVE that Toni Storm is pretending this is her first time in AEW. She got reset to her old persona so apparently that came with a memory reset, that is brilliant. Very good promo Mariah, and a very good promo from Rosa, including Toni’s part. A Tijuana Street Fight for the title, and it keeps both women strong no matter who wins.
Great tag match of Top Flight VS Lio & Action, but also a great use of Leila as a distraction in the wrong way. I almost thought she was going to turn and join Lio & Action, but Leila’s done fairly well as a Face now so I feel like she’ll stay a Face. She could easily just give a promo about how Lio & Action didn’t care about her and that’s why she sticks with Dante & Darius. Private Party VS Lio & Action is going to be a great, but I would think Quen & Kassidy win out. And then great International Women’s Cup Qualifier from Willow VS Hayter. Willow was the natural choice given her accolades.
And while it’s great for Julia to return in person, AEW sure fumbled it. The lights went out during the match, aka way too early, and then I don’t think she did a good job choosing elbow gloves. Those things were falling down the whole time, it looked more like she had a big scrunchy wristband. But hey, Hayter VS Hart in a House Rules match for Worlds End would be great for them both, and it’d be quite the way for Hart to get a return win.
My Score: 8.9/10

“G’day, guys! It’s the 12 Days of Shop AEW, and this is what we have.” Harley plays her guitar as she sings, “On the 12 Days of AEW, my true love gave~ to meeee~! Ahem. 12 Darby hoodies, 11 Ospreay jerseys, 10 Hologram masks, 9 Nana dress shirts, 8 DC Comics, 7 autograph prints, 6 chibi stickers, FIVE~ Feel the Wrath of Harley Cameron t-shirts! This is not a self promotion. Ahem. Four fanny packs, three Brawler Buddies, two Acclaimed scissor hands… And anything~ else that involves MEEE~, Harley Cameron!” A creative ad read, but will Harley be ready to “welcome back” Toni Storm later tonight?
Toni Storm VS Harley Cameron!
For the first time in FOUR MONTHS, the former AEW Women’s World Champion is back in AEW, and she’s back as her original form. Will Toni still be victorious even though she’s no longer Timeless? Or will Harley prove she’s Gold Coast, Australia’s best wrestler now?
The bell rings and the fans cheer Toni on. Toni smiles knowing the fans still care, and Harley says let’s have some fun!

BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
Toni Storm’s comeback tour is only heating up as she’ll be in action once again, against Shazza McKenzie! So from one Aussie to another, is Toni going to keep this momentum going? Plus, Kris Statlander will be back in action, will she rebound from her loss at Full Gear? And on top of that, AEW takes a cue from the NBA on TNT, it’s a BIG All Star 10 Man Tag! Daniel Garcia joins forces with Orange Cassidy, The Outrunners & Komander to take on The Premier Athletes & MXM Collection, will the TNT Champion lead his team to a win in this pick-up game?
Brody King speaks.
“When I think of the Continental Classic, I think of prestige, I think of respect and honor. I started the C2 strong, but now I’m down 6 points. Komander, you better bring the fight of your life, because I am.” It is a match of men on the bubble, who will survive one more round in the Gold League? We find out next Friday for Rampage: Holiday Bash!
Deonna Purrazzo VS Shazza McKenzie!
The Virtuosa wants everyone in AEW to understand something: When dealing with The Vendetta, stay on their good side. Will Deonna make sure Shazza understands that explicitly? Or will Shazza get on Deonna’s bad side without even trying?
The bell rings and Deonna circles with Shazza. They tie up, Deonna powers Shazza to the corner, then stomps away! The ref counts, Deonna stops at 4, and she CHOSP! Shazza sputters but Deonna reels her in. But Shazza gets around to roll Deonna up! TWO, and Shazza blocks a boot! Shazza knees, whips, but Deonna turns Shazza’s lariat into a wrench and short arm LARIAT! The fans rally up while Shazza goes to a corner. Deonna runs corner to corner, but Shazza slips out to the apron! Shazza ROCKS Deonna, goes up and up, but Deonna trips her! Deonna has Shazza in the Tree of Woe and stomps her down!
The fans are torn as Deonna goes corner to corner, and she RAMS into Shazza! Shazza flops out of the Tree, and into Deonna’s POWERBOMB! Then FUJIWARA ARMBAR! Shazza TAPS, Deonna wins!
Winner: Deonna Purrazzo, by submission
Deonna doesn’t let go! She makes Shazza pay for lasting even this long! Deonna then lets go to revel in her victory. Will anyone stop The Vendetta from rising up the ranks?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Alex Marvez welcomes #BornAgainKristen and says it is great to see her back again, for the first time since Full Gear. That match with Mercedes Mone was perhaps one of the best matches in the history of the AEW Women’s Division, but seeing as she lost, where does Kris go from here? Kris says she has not stopped thinking about that match. Actually, it feels like Mone hasn’t, either. It seems like Mone won’t stop talking about it. And to give Mone credit, Mone is everything she says she is. Kris came out of that match pretty beat up, so her next step forward is just to keep moving forward.
Kris always moves forward, and that is why she is going to compete tomorrow night on Collision. She’d wrestle again the next night, and the next night, and the next night if she could. She’ll be at Holiday Bash this Wednesday to watch the TBS Championship match, Mone VS Anna Jay. Whoever comes out on top, they should know that Kris has unfinished business with that title. Kris heads out, will she find a way to be the Face of TBS once again?
PROGRAMMING NOTE for Christmas Collision!
Firstly, don’t be fooled, Collision is still on Saturday, December 21st. BUT it will be live coast to coast, 8 PM Eastern, 5 PM Pacific, immediately following TNT’s coverage of the NCAA College Football Playoffs. Make sure your DVRs are set accordingly so your Collision can be merry and bright!
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He welcomes us back to Rampage, and he welcomes out ahead of tonight’s main event some of the greatest athletes in the world today, the Don Callis Family! Fans boo as creepy Callus leads the way out for his Alpha, his Murderhawk Monster, and his Protostar. Konosuke Takeshita, Lance Archer & Kyle Fletcher stand with Don Callis and Schiavone in the ring, and Schiavone speaks to Callis that going just off the reaction from the fans, we all know what they think of Callis and his “family.” Callis grabs the mic to say, “I have something important to say. I know you’re very shocked by how we conduct our business, but what business do you think you’re, Schiavone?
“Because I’m in the getting-over-and-making-money business! So is Kyle! So is Takeshita! So is Archer! You don’t believe me? The Murder Machines is the most feared tag team in the history of this company! Takeshita is the best bell-to-bell International champion we’ve ever had. And that brings me to the Protostar, Kyle Fletcher.” The fans boo more but Callis will remind us that “there was a guy running around here who everyone thought was the greatest wrestler they’d ever seen! And his name was Will Ospreay! That was until Will Ospreay got in the ring with Kyle Fletcher! And Kyle Fletcher, Will, he didn’t just beat you. He dominated you!”
The fans boo more as Callis says Kyle put Ospreay down! Ospreay will never be the same. So as he sits home, watching the Callis Family bask in their glory, here’s a question for Ospreay: How does it feel, bruv? The fans boo more, but Callis says, “Wait, it gets better! Just a few short days later, he (Kyle) did the impossible! He got in the ring with a man who has been called, correctly I might add, ‘The greatest tournament wrestler ever,’ Kazuchika Okada. And he BEAT Okada! So Okada, as you sit home and watch us, I’ve got a question for you! How does it feel, b*tch? Tell ’em, Kyle!”
Callis hands the mic over and the fans boo more. Kyle takes off his sunglasses, but he waits as the fans keep booing. “Kansas City, you can boo me as much as you want. You can cheer for that BUM, Ospreay! But it changes absolutely nothing. I am 25-years-old, I have a watch on my wrist that costs more than the car you drive, and I will be the winner of the Continental Classic. So tomorrow night on Collision, Mark Briscoe, I hope you bring more than your Redneck Kung-Fu. Because winning this tournament is my destiny! And nobody gets in the way of me and my destiny.” The fans boo more but Callis gets the mic back.
Callis says one thing is very obvious to him: The Don Callis Family are the ONE PERCENTERS of AEW! And because they’re the One Percent, Callis can say this: there is no one in the back big enough and bad enough to get in the ring with them. But guess what? Here comes “P-P-P-POWERHOUSE!” The fans fire up as Will Hobbs makes his way out, and he’s bringing Dunkzilla with him! Will the Don Callis Family regret ever leaving Hobbs behind?
“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs & Mark Davis VS Konosuke Takeshita & Lance Archer!
The teams sort out and Hobbs starts against Konosuke. Archer calls to Konosuke, and Konosuke tags him in. The fans rally for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” as Archer steps to Hobbs. But Hobbs walks right past Archer to taunt Konosuke. “Is that it? Is that really it?” Konosuke backs off to take a stroll outside. Archer tells Hobbs to pay attention to him, he’s the one in the ring. The fans boo but Archer throws a forearm! Hobbs fires back! The fans fire up as “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” goes back and forth! Hobbs gets the edge but archer knees low! Archer tells fans to shut up! Archer whips, Hobbs reverses, and the two RAM shoulders!
Archer staggers to a corner and Hobbs storms up on him! Hobbs rains down fists from above, and we get “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” all the way to nine, because Konosuke sneaks up! Hobbs runs Konosuke off, then he tags Davis. Davis climbs up on Archer, and he rains down fists! “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” all the way to TEN! Davis storms around, he and Hobbs go after Archer together to double whip him corner to corner. Davis runs in and LARIATS! Hobbs runs up to LARIAT! The fans cheer as they double whip back the other way. Archer goes up, but Davis stays back. Davis waistlocks Archer but Archer ROCKS Hobbs first!
Archer ELBOWS Davis, roars and runs, but he gets DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLES! The fans fire up for the big meaty men, and Davis drags Archer up. Hobbs comes back in, and they DOUBLE SUPLEX Archer, and even hold him, before the SLAM! Cover, ONE!! Archer shows that grit but Davis pumps up his arm! The fans fire up with Davis as he runs, but Konosuke gets a cheap shot in! Archer then CROSSBODIES Davis! Archer rains down fast hands, then shouts, “This is MY house!” The fans boo but Archer tags Konosuke, and Rampage goes picture in picture.
Archer taunts the fans while Konosuke goes corner to corner. Forearm SMASH on Davis and Konosuke snapmares him down. Konosuke goes up, soaks up the heat, and then SUPER SENTONS! Cover, TWO! Davis toughs it out but Konosuke rains down fists! Konosuke CHOKES Davis, stops as the ref counts, and he tags Archer back in. Archer taunts Hobbs while staying between him and Davis. Archer stands Davis up to short arm ALARAIT! Davis stays up so Archer short arm LARIATS again! Davis falls but Archer brings him up for another short arm LARIAT! Archer stands on Davis’s neck!
The ref reprimands, Archer steps off to drag Davis up, and Archer TOSSES Davis out. Archer keeps the ref distracted so Konosuke can whip Davis into railing! Davis almost falls into the front row! Konosuke drags Davis back and DECKS him! Archer goes out to laugh at the fans while standing on Davis! The ref reprimands, Archer still taunts fans as he steps off, and he drags Davis up. Davis fires forearms! The ring count is climbing but Davis roars, only for Konosuke to CLAW Davis’s face! Archer & Konosuke mug Davis, the ref reprimands them both, but Archer puts Davis in the ring. Archer then KICKS Davis in the side!
Archer drags Davis up to bump him off buckles! Tag to Konosuke, Archer smothers Davis while Konosuke fires body shots. The ref reprimands but Konosuke climbs up. Konosuke throws down fists, but then he BITES Davis on the forehead! Konosuke steps away while the ref reprimands, and Archer almost grabs Davis if not for the ref being wary of him. Archer tags in and he stands Davis up. Archer taunts the fans, then CHOPS Davis! Archer stands Davis up again, to CHOP! Archer stands Davis up a third time, but Davis avoids the chop! Davis CHOPS Archer, but Archer knees low! Archer bumps Davis off buckles, then smothers him!
The ref reprimands, Archer stops, and Rampage returns to single picture. Archer again taunts Hobbs while staying between him and Davis. Archer wrenches Davis, whips him to the corner, but Davis BOOTS Archer away! Davis also ROCKS Konosuke and heads for his corner! The fans are thunderous, but Archer runs at Davis! Davis dodges and Archer hits buckles in the open corner! Davis crawls his way over, but Archer goes to BLAST Hobbs! Archer stomps Davis down while fans boo, but Archer soaks up the heat. Archer grins and looks at the tron, “That’s me!” Tag to Konosuke and Konosuke brings Davis up.
Davis fights the suplex, tries to suplex, but Konosuke also fights! Konosuke powers up to lift Davis up and over! The fans are torn, that was legit impressive. Konosuke runs up but Davis rolls him up! TWO, and Davis DECKS Konosuke! The fans fire up as Davis wobbles and staggers! He spots Hobbs, and leaps for the HOT TAG! Hobbs CLOBBERS Konosuke, LARIATS Konosuke, then runs in and SPLASHES at the corner! The fans are thunderous as Hobbs goes again, but Konosuke BOOTS him! Konosuke runs, avoids the spinebuster, but Hobbs elbows him away. Konosuke BOOTS the lariat away, then ROCKS Hobbs!
Konosuke runs, but Hobbs LARIATS Konosuke inside-out! Only for Konosuke to rise back up! POWER DRIVE KNEE!! Both men fall and the fans are thunderous! Konosuke and Hobbs crawl, hot tags to Archer and Davis! They DOUBLE LARIAT, and DOUBLE LARIAT, and DOUBLE LARIAT again! “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” They even switch arms to DOUBLE LARIAT! Davis roars, but Archer grabs him the throat! Davis breaks free to ENZIGIRI! Archer flops to a corner and the fans fire up with Davis! Davis runs, blocks a boot, but Archer STOMPS Davis down! Archer grins, drags Davis up and puts him on the top rope.
Archer climbs but Davis fires hands! Konosuke joins in to CLAW Davis’s face! The ref reprimands but Konosuke climbs up, and now the Callis Family has Davis on the top rope! Hobbs joins in underneath! TOWER OF MEAT- er, DOOM!! The fans are thunderous as Hobbs goes back to his corner. Davis crawls, hot tag back to Hobbs! Hobbs waits on Archer, and he brings down the straps. But Konosuke sneaks in! ALPHA ELBOW! BOOT from Archer! Choke grip, CHOKE SLAM!! Cover, TWO!! Hobbs survives and Archer is furious! Konosuke waits on Hobbs and the kneepad comes down. But Davis anchors Konosuke!
Davis drags Konosuke out, sends him into railing, but then Archer DECKS Davis! Hobbs whips Archer to SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans are thunderous again as Hobbs says thumbs up, thumbs DOWN! SPINEBUSTER!! Cover, HOBBS & DAVIS WIN!
Winners: Will Hobbs & Mark Davis, by pinfall
Big meaty men went to big meaty war, but Konosuke wants more! He even has the belt! Hobbs blocks the shot, and he SPINEBUSTERS Konosuke! The fans are thunderous again as Hobbs eyes that International Championship. Hobbs holds the belt up, will this be the scene we see in the not too distant future?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here, great builds in a lot of stuff, and while there was word that those inside AEW thought this was a waste of Toni Storm’s in-ring return, the match we got was really good. Harley had a good little song to advertise the AEW holiday sale, and had a great showing against Toni, but of course Toni wins tonight. She’ll definitely win tomorrow night, too, but I like that she’s facing another Australian wrestler. This is almost like early hype for Grand Slam: Australia in February. Deonna beat Shazza tonight, decent stuff, but the sooner they get going on The Vendetta targeting Anna Jay the better so that The Vendetta actually has a story.
Actually, I think I said it before but the Vendetta story could be them joining Mercedes Mone, revealing themselves as the ones who attacked Kamille. Then those three take on Kamille, Anna Jay, and Kris Statlander in a Six Woman Tag. Speaking of, good promo from Kris Statlander, and her wanting after the TBS title again is a natural move. She’s gotta bide time while the AEW Women’s World Championship story unfolds, and she’s not downgrading to ROH, she is not that far out of the running. That Six Woman Tag could even lead to a Six Pack Challenge for the title, making it much easier to get that title off Mone.
Very good match from Cardona VS Keith to open the night, but of course Cardona wins. This combined with last night’s ROH contract signing segment, Cardona has all the momentum going into Final Battle next week, so he is sadly not winning the title. Jericho still has to complete his goal of getting ROH a cable TV deal, and there is even word that there is interest, perhaps even from Warner Brother Discovery to put ROH on the other Turner network, TruTV, so who knows. Maybe Jericho retains long enough for that deal to be finalized, and then he loses on the first episode of ROH back on cable.
Good promo from Brody King, and I would think he defeats Komander to rebound from his lose to Claudio. Sorry, Komander, but you might be eating the goose egg. Very good promo from Callis and Fletcher to call out Ospreay and Okada and even Mark Briscoe. I feel like that foreshadows Ospreay and Okada making it to Worlds End as semifinalists with Fletcher. And a great main event tag match as Hobbs & Davis made a surprisingly good duo. Great win for Hobbs & Davis, too, and it establishes Hobbs VS Konosuke for the International Championship. Now, Hobbs’ chances of winning that title depend on what AEW and NJPW agree on for WrestleDynasty and Konosuke VS Shingo Takagi, but I wouldn’t mind seeing Hobbs win.
My Score: 8.8/10
