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.

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!

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?

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
Adam Copeland is here!
The fans fire up and sing along as The Rated R Superstar makes his entrance, complete with the pyro but also a black eye. Cope goes to the ring, he grabs a mic, and he tells Seattle, “If you couldn’t tell, Dynasty on Sunday didn’t necessarily go our way. Yes, my face got messed up, way to go, Einstein. I got glue in my forehead, staples in my forehead, I got a shiner. Let’s face it, FTR… They said what they were gonna do and they did it.” The fans boo but Cope says they got to Christian, too, that’s why he’s not here. Christian’s gotta get an MRI on his forearm to see if it’s broke. The fans also boo that.
Cope says FTR gave his wife a piledriver. They took Christian’s watch! And in Christian’s world, that’s actually worse! There are three things you don’t mess with when it comes to Christian: His watch, his wine, and his women. In that order. But FTR, on Dynamite, you came out and said that while you’re the champions, Cope & Cage will not get another title shot. The fans boo again, but Cope says he is cooking an idea on that so bear with him. But if FTR thinks that this is just about titles, that C&C are just gonna walk away cuz they didn’t win at Dynasty, they’ve watched C&C’s careers and think that these two are just gonna walk away?
Do you think that they’re just gonna tuck their tails and run? The fans say “NO!” Cope says that is NOT what they do! Christian was forced to retire for seven YEARS! He busted his ass and he got this back! The fans cheer that, and Cope says he was retired for NINE YEARS, told he can never do this again because if he fell over, he could die! But Cope is standing here, full o’ piss ‘n’ vinegar! C&C are like dogs on a bone, and they will END FTR and take their pound of flesh! The fans cheer, but then FTR makes their way out here. Cope is ready to fight, but where are they? FTR walks out on stage, and Stoke has the mic as he smiles at Cope.
But then RPG VICE rush Cope, just like last week! Cope is ready this time and he fights off Rocky & Trent, but now FTR joins in! The fans boo this 4v1 mugging with Stoke cheering them on! But wait! The Young Bucks rush out here! Matt & Nick Jackson rush the ring, and they dodge FTR to CLOBBER RPG Vice! Then DOUBLE SUPERKICKS for FTR! RPG Vice go after The Bucks, then send them at each other! The Bucks reverse to LARIAT Rocky, then they DOUBLE SUPERKICK Trent! Cope SPEARS Trent down and the fans fire up! Cope snarls as he stands back up, and he shakes hands with The Bucks as thanks for the help.
Cope & The Bucks stare FTR down as FTR retreats, but will The Bucks and C&C have to fight it out to go after those tag team championships?
Jack Perry speaks.
“At Dynasty, I got my first taste of what it’s like to defend this championship. And it’s exactly what I’ve been waiting for. But Don Callis, you only got close enough to get a sniff, because I beat your biggest, baddest and most dangerous, Mark Davis. But after what you just did to the Young Bucks, well, I wanna shove this up your big, stupid, spray-tanned nose. So why don’t you go ahead and pick your favorite goon out of the bunch and meet me next week in Portland so that I can add another notch to my belt as the National Champion.” Jungle Jack has thrown out the challenge, but who will be up to the task?

The fans sing for Nick but Moxley rolls to trip Nick up.
Moxley powers to a cover, ONE! Moxley has a double wristlock now and he holds Nick down. Nick fights up, powers Moxley to the ropes, and Moxley lets go slowly. The fans rally as Nick backs off, and then Nick ROCKS Moxley with a forearm! Nick eggs Moxley on, then ROCKS him again! Moxley grins, but Nick snapmares and KICKS! The fans rally while Nick mocks Moxley. Moxley starts to get annoyed, and he CHOPS Nick off his feet! The fans fire up for that, too! Nick is stinging as he flounders to a corner. Moxley CHOPS Nick again, then stalks him to another corner. Moxley CHOPS, then keeps Nick in the corner.
Moxley rains down fists, all the way to nine, then he CHOPS Nick as the tenth! The fans fire up as Moxley stands Nick up. Moxley whips, Nick reverses to then hurdle and bypass for the UPPERCUT! Nick kips up, dusts himself off, then snapmares. Nick drops a leg, then drops another, then fakes the third to scuff Moxley instead! The fans cheer as Nick flexes, but Moxley scowls. Nick grins as Moxley stands, and Moxley steps outside? Nick taunts Moxley but Moxley paces. Moxley is trying to calm down so he doesn’t murder Nick in his hometown. Moxley steps back in, and he offers a handshake. Nick says okay, and he accepts the handshake.
But then Moxley reels Nick in! PILEDRIVER!! Nick sputters on the mat while the fans fire up! Moxley stands tall over Nick as Collision goes picture in picture.
Moxley paces, then he goes back to Nick to drag him up. Moxley TOSSES Nick out, then paces while he waits on the ring count. Moxley decides to go out after all, and he stalks Nick around the way. Moxley grabs a chair, brings it over, but Nick CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS again! Moxley ROCKS Nick with a haymaker! Nick flounders, takes a seat, and Moxley gets space so he can run up and BOOT Nick down! Moxley refreshes the count, “apologizes” to the ref and mockingly pleads with him. Moxley then goes back out after Nick, drags him up, and brings him around to put in the ring. Moxley stands Nick up to CHOP again!
Nick snarls as he CHOPS in return! Moxley CHOPS, Nick CHOPS, but Moxley HEADBUTTS Nick down! Then cover, TWO! Nick shows some grit, but Moxley kneels on his back! Moxley pulls on a leg, then on the other, and he ties Nick up in a partial deathlock. Moxley then rolls so he can headscissor Nick at the same time! Nick endures this inverted Muda Lock, but he fights his way to the ROPEBREAK! Moxley lets go quickly and paces while Nick clutches his foot. Nick crawls to a corner, but Moxley storms up to step on him! The ref counts, Moxley steps off at 4, and Spring Breakthru returns to single picture.
Moxley gets in Nick’s face, but Nick SLAPS him! The fans fire up again, but Moxley storms back up to stomp Nick back down! The fans rally, the ref counts, but Moxley hauls Nick up! X-PLEX! Cover, TWO! Nick survives but Moxley clamps on again for the leglock, then the crossface! Moxley shifts around, ANGELITO STRETCH! The fans rally again but Moxley lets Nick go. Nick crawls to the corner but Moxley runs in! Nick BOOTS Moxley, then goes up to MISSILE DROPKICK! The fans fire up again as Nick has new life! Nick HEADBUTTS, but Moxley HEADBUTTS! Nick HEADBUTTS, Moxley HEADBUTTS, repeat!
Moxley then ROCKS Nick, but Nick fires back! The forearms fire off as we hit the ten minute warning! Moxley KICKS a leg, ROCKS Nick, and repeat! Moxley runs, but Nick slips around to cravat and ASAI DDT! Cover, TWO! Moxley survives but Nick hurries to waistlock. The fans duel as Nick has the half nelson, then goes for the full. Moxley switches to put that FULL NELSON on Nick! Nick stomps a foot then wrenches through, and he goes for the full nelson again! Moxley arm-drags free, ROCKS Nick, then runs, but into a BOOT! Nick SUPERKICKS, but Moxley LARIATS on return! Moxley hauls Nick up for a SLEEPER, but Nick slips around! SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX!
Nick gets moving, somersault and CODE RED! Cover, TWO!! Moxley survives and Nick is stunned! The fans rally up again, and Nick rises up to roundhouse! Moxley ducks, and CUTTERS! Cover, TWO! Nick survives but Moxley has him in a CROSSFACE! The fans rally and duel as Nick endures! Nick reaches out, but he CLAWS at Moxley’s face! Moxley lets go, and he stomps Nick for it! And stomps him again! Nick still rises up as Moxley kicks him! Nick gets in Moxley’s face, then fires off forearms! Moxley BITES Nick’s nose!! Then he reels Nick in, but Nick fights the driver! Nick slips under, and SPITS in Moxley’s face!
Nick dodges Moxley, then ROUNDHOUSES! Moxley wobbles, falls, but out of the ring! Nick hurries to climb the corner, and ARIHARA MOONSAULTS! Down goes Moxley at the ramp and the fans fire up again! Nick gets Moxley up and into the ring, then goes up the corner! Nick goes up, up, and WAYNE’S- SLEEPER! Moxley has Nick caught, then spins him around! But Nick trips him, jackknife bridge, TWO!?!? Moxley escapes, but the ROUNDHOUSE hits! Moxley’s eyebrow is bloodied! The fans fire up again as Nick rises again! Nick roars, vows to end this, and he facelocks, but Moxley wrenches free to hit the takeover! BULLY CHOKE!!!
Nick endures, but he’s turning red! Nick sputters as the fans rally up, and he fights around to slip free! Moxley gets the hold back, but Nick kicks his way backwards, ROPEBREAK by a toe!! The fans cheer as Moxley lets Nick go! Moxley snarls as we hit the five minute warning! Moxley stands Nick up, SLAPS him, but Nick fires a flurry! The fans fire up with Nick, but Moxley kicks low! DEATH RIDER!! Cover, Moxley wins!
Winner: Jon Moxley, by pinfall (denies Nick Wayne a title opportunity)
The Maniac won out, but Nick certainly left a mark. Was this enough to surprise Moxley and perhaps even impress him? Is this a good sign for how Nick Wayne will fair in this year’s NJPW Best of the Super Juniors?
Backstage interview with Don Callis & Kazuchika Okada.
Lexy Nair is with The Invisible Hand and The Rainmaker, and brings up that Callis promised Konosuke Takeshita a shot at the AEW International Championship at Double or Nothing if he and Okada got along at Dynasty. Now, given how that match went, is the deal still on? Callis says he looked back at the tape, and it is sad to say, maybe even embarrassing, that Okada & Takeshita did NOT follow the arrangement they discussed. Callis can get Okada out of this, there doesn’t have to be a title match. Okada shakes his head and says he is not going to back down. He wants this match! Okada knows he can beat Takeshita, because Okada is a champion! Unlike Takeshita!
Okada storms off, Callis follows, but will the NJPW World Television Champion prove Okada wrong?
PAC w/ Daniel Garcia VS Lio Rush!
The Death Riders keep on bringing the fight as now The Bastard battles “The Problem Child.” But will Pac rebound for falling short in the Casino Gauntlet? Or will Lio make this Pac’s Final Hour?
The bell rings and Pac paces while Lio mutters to himself, “It is him! It IS him! I told you it was him!” Lio is very Smeagle and Gollum right now as he’s in his own world. “You gotta dig real deep!” Pac tries to get Lio’s attention, but even Pac’s a bit unsettled. Lio goes on and on until Pac stomps him, and Lio stands right up! Pac scrambles back while the fans tell him he messed up! Lio wants a handshake but Garcia coaches Pac to be careful. Pac YANKS Lio at the corner, but Lio stops short! Lio runs back up, but into a SOBAT! Pac is still wary as Lio snarls and shrieks. Pac runs up, Lio dodges, redirects, then dodges Pac!
Pac ducks Lio, back suplexes, but Lio lands out! Lio jumps on Pac to CLAW and BITE him! Pac whips Lio away and CLOBBERS him! The fans fire up while Lio writhes. Pac runs, but Lio bridges up! Lio grins but Pac stomps him down! Cover, ONE! Lio goes Matrix, then mule kicks and ENZIGIRIS! Pac tumbles out but Lio asks, “Where’re you going? Come back!” Lio CLAWS Pac through the ropes! The ref reprimands, Pac gets free, but Lio slithers out as he pursues. Pac is still very worried by this. Lio chases Pac, until he spots Garcia! Then he CLOBBERS Garcia! The fans fire up as Lio CHOKES Garcia!
Pac hurries to BOOT Lio off Garcia and stomps away! Pac digs his boots in, the ref counts, but Pac stops at 4. Lio laughs while Pac leaves him behind. Pac argues with the ref, but that lets Garcia stomp away on Lio! The fans boo but Garcia hurries off. Lio taunts “Danny,” but Pac goes out to drag Lio up. Pac scoops Lio for a TOMBSTONE to the floor! Lio writhes in pain and Garcia says yeah, don’t play those games! Pac rolls into the ring to let the count handle this. Lio drags himself up at 7 of 10 while Collision goes picture in picture.
The count is climbing, but Lio rolls in at 9.5. Pac shakes his head as he storms up on Lio, and he stomps Lio down! Pac CHOKES Lio, but the ref counts and Pac steps off at 4. Pac argues with the ref about how freaky Lio is being, but Lio rises up again! Lio grabs at Pac, but Pac DECKS Lio! Pac looks to the fans as if they know what to make of this. Pac goes after Lio in another corner, whips him corner to corner hard, and Lio tumbles right out of the ring! The ref checks on Lio but Lio’s still conscious. Lio writhes as the ring count climbs again, but he rises at 7 to drag himself in at 8. Pac drags Lio up, headlocks, and he grinds Lio down.
Lio endures as Pac holds on tight, and Collision goes to break.
Collision returns again Lio slips under Pac, dodges him, and sends him into buckles! Lio runs up but Pac OVERHEAD SUPLEXES him right into buckles! Lio flops over but Pac goes up the corner. Pac aims as Lio writhes, but Lio springs right up! Lio eggs Pac on with his wild screeching, but Pac hops down. Lio ducks a shot to fire fast hands! Pac tumbles out, and Lio runs up to HANDSPRING KICK Pac down! Lio runs around like the gremlin he’s become, to then DIVE onto Lio! The fans fire up for Lio as he stalks Pac. Lio puts Pac in the ring, but Pac whips. Lio reverses, Pac reverses, but into RUSH HOUR! Cover, TWO!
Lio watches Pac closely, then drags him around into a REAR NAKED CHOKE! Pac endures, then rises up with Lio as a backpack! Pac RAMS Lio into buckles, is free of the hold, but Lio stalks Pac! POISON-RANA! Cover, TWO! Pac survives and Lio is mad at the ref! The ref fears for his life, but Lio hauls Pac up for a STUNNER! Lio holds on, then he grinds the hold. Garcia protests from the apron, but that gets Lio’s attention! The fans chant for Lio to “EAT HIS FACE! EAT HIS FACE!” Garcia freaks out, and he flicks water at him?! Does Garcia think he can exorcise Lio’s demons? Pac GERMAN SUPLEXES Lio, but Lio’s right up!
Lio runs in, but into a SNAP GERMAN! Pac builds speed to LARIAT Lio inside-out! And then he clamps on the BRUTALIZER!! Lio grins, even as he PASSES OUT!! Pac wins!!
Winner: Pac, by submission
The Bastard won, but Lio sure creeped everyone out! Will anyone ever figure out what happened to the Man of the Hour? Will Pac just move on towards a golden opportunity and leave this in the past?
Six Man Tag: Brody King, Mascara Dorada & Mistico VS Ricky Gibson, KC Riff & Colt Rivera!
While their mutual amigo is back home in Mexico, preparing for Supercard of Honor, the King of Death will team with the King of the Ropes and the Talisman of CMLL! Will Brody, Dorada y Mistico hold down the fort for Bandido? Or could Gibson, Riff & Rivera shock the world?
The trios sort out and Riff SHOVES Ricky into Brody, trying to punk the big man out! Ricky tries to apologize, but Brody CHOPS him down! The bell rings, Riff runs up, but Brody CHOPS him down, too! Rivera hesitates, and says he doesn’t want the smoke. Too bad, get in here! Brody THROWS Rivera, he ends up in the corner, and Brody coordinates with Dorada y Mistico. Dorada CHOPS Rivera, Mistico CHOPS Rivera, then Brody DOUBLE CHOPS Rivera! Rivera bails out to regroup with his team, but that lets Mistico DIVE and take them all out! The fans cheer as Mistico sets Rivera up, and Dorada TORNILLOS him down!
The fans fire up as Mistico y Dorada stand back up, and they feed Ricky to Brody’s GONZO BOMB! Cover, Brody and team win!
Winners: Brody King, Mascara Dorada & Mistico, by pinfall
As if anything else was going to happen! Will Brody, Dorada y Mistico blaze a trail to the top of AEW in all divisions?
Kris & Shida regroup backstage.
They’re both feeling good from their win, and Lexy Nair steps in with congratulations. But she also brings up that someone requested this time to talk with them, and it is Mina Shirakawa. Mina steps in, and tells Stat sorry, but she’s specifically here for Shida. Mina tells Shida that uh duh, she knows Japanese, too! So Mina knows exactly what Shida said about Harley. AND a kendo stick was left behind in Toni Storm’s locker room! Mina isn’t sure what Shida is up top, but she does NOT trust her. Oh, is that so? Shida tells “Shirakawa-san” in Japanese that it must be nice to get this far just on looks! Mina is pissed but Kris keeps the peace.
Shida storms off, and Mina tells Kris to not trust Shida. Kris storms off, too, but could Mina have a point? Could Shida have taken out Toni Storm to clear room for herself at the top?
AEW Women’s World Championship: Thekla VS Alex Windsor!
The Toxic Spider took another shortcut to shortchange an opponent when she snuck one on Jamie Hayter at Dynasty. Iron Will Windsor wants to avenge her best mate, but will she make herself a double champion in the process? Or will Thekla take out two Brawling Birds in one week?
The introductions are made, the AEW belt is raised, and we see who survives this Collision!
The bell rings and the fans rally up as the two circle. Windsor runs up, Thekla dodges, and Thekla swaggers around. Windsor shrugs that off to try again, but Thekla dodges again. Thekla swaggers her way out of the ring, but Windsor pursues! The cat ‘n’ mouse game goes around the way, and Thekla attacks as Windsor slides in! Thekla whips, Windsor reverses, but Thekla slips around to shove Windsor, only for Windsor to RUN her over! The fans cheer as Windsor keeps after Thekla with a rain of fists! Windsor then stands Thekla up to CHOP against the ropes! Windsor whips Thekla to ropes, but Thekla bails out!
Thekla ducks a shot to ROCK Windsor, then she climbs up as the fans rally. Thekla leaps, but Windsor gets clear! Windsor runs up, and she LARIATS Thekla down! The fans fire up while Thekla is dazed, but Windsor hauls Thekla up for a suplex! The fans duel as Windsor aims, and she runs up again, to wrench and RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Then a BASEMENT LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Thekla survives but Windsor keeps on her. Thekla kicks and flails to make the ROPEBREAK, and Windsor lets go. Thekla bails out again, but Windsor goes to the apron. Thekla runs away, denying Windsor her aerial attack.
Windsor just changes course, kicks, but Thekla blocks! Thekla YANKS Windsor down, then steps back inside. Thekla runs up on Windsor to BOOT her to the floor! Windsor tumbles but Thekla grins as the fans duel. Thekla goes up the corner now, and she aims at Windsor for a SUPER DUPER CROSSBODY! Direct hit and down goes Windsor! Thekla grins again while Collision goes picture in picture.
Thekla taunts Windsor before she drags her up. Thekla then THROWS Windsor into railing! Windsor sputters and writhes but Thekla refreshes the ring count. Thekla then drags Windsor up, makes her take a seat, then climbs up to rain down fists! The fans count along, and Thekla goes all the way to TEN! Or maybe “zehn?” Either way, Thekla reels Windsor in, only for Windsor to RAM her into the railing! Windsor fires off fists, then climbs up to rain them down! Windsor definitely goes to TEN, then brings Thekla around to whip hard into the apron! Windsor CHOPS Thekla, but Thekla whips Windsor into barriers!
Windsor falls in a heap, and Thekla soaks up the cheers and jeers. The ref wants this back in the ring so Thekla leaves Windsor behind for the count. Windsor slowly rises up, and she rolls into the ring at 8. Thekla CLUBS Windsor down, steps on her face, but steps off as the ref counts. Thekla then drops onto Windsor for the CROSSFACE! Windsor endures, fights up and around, but Thekla lets go to CLUB Windsor. Windsor fires body shots in return and backs Thekla to a corner. Windsor runs up, but Thekla ROCKS her! Thekla then BOOTS Windsor, reels her in, and has the HANGING HEADSCISSORS as Spring Breakthru returns to single picture!
The ref counts, Thekla lets go at 4, and the fans duel as Thekla storms back in. Thekla snapmares Windsor, then winds up to basement SUPERKICK! Cover, TWO! Windsor survives but Thekla is amused. Thekla storms up on Windsor and CHOPS! The fans cheer as Theknla shots, “Women’s Wrestling!” Thekla CHOPS again, then whips corner to corner, only for Windsor to block! Thekla fires shots on Windsor, but Windsor blocks the whip again! Thekla stomps a foot, then whips Windsor, but Windsor reverses and LARIATS! Then Windsor get moving, ducks ‘n’ dodges, redirects, and FLYING SHOULDER TACKLES!
The fans fire up while both are down. Windsor rises up, she has the legs, but Thekla kicks and kicks and kicks again! Windsor staggers, but she dodges to scoop and BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cover, TWO! Thekla survives but Windsor stays focused. Windsor hauls Thekla up, clinches, but Thekla fights the lift! Thekla CLUBS Windsor, ROCKS her, but Windsor shakes it off with a smile. Thekla gets in Windsor’s face, then ROCKS her! Windsor walks it off, to then fire off a flurry! The fans cheer, but Thekla dodges one to SMACK Windsor again! But Windsor blocks the next to HEADBUTT! Thekla falls, Windsor gets the legs, SHARPSHOOTER!
The fans fire up as Thekla endures! Windsor sits deep on the hold, but Thekla fights her way forward! ROPEBREAK! Windsor lets go in frustration, but she drags Thekla back up. Pump handle and- NO, Thekla still fights the lift! Thekla ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl, BLACK WIDOW STRETCH! Windsor endures the modified octopus, but she powers up to reach out! ROPEBREAK! The fans cheer while Thekla lets go in frustration. Thekla hauls Windsor back up, but Windsor breaks free, only for Thekla to SOBAT! Thekla runs, but Windsor LARIATS her down! The fans fire up while both women are down again!
Windsor rises, the fans rally, and Windsor goes up! But Thekla hurries to SMACK Windsor! Thekla climbs, but Windsor fights with body shots! “This is Awesome!” as Windsor HAMMERS away on Thekla! Thekla CLAWS Windsor’s face, then sneaks the brass knuckles out! But Windsor blocks the punch to HEADBUTT! Windsor goes up, over, and SUNSET FLIP- NO, Thekla holds on! BRASS KNUCKLE PUNCH!!! The fans boo as Thekla hides her evidence! Thekla then runs up, CURB STOMP!! Cover, Thekla wins!
Winner: Thekla, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Champion)
Another fight, another dirty tactic! But in the end, even Windsor fell into the Toxic Spider’s trap! Will anyone ever get wise to Thekla’s tricks? Or will AEW always be toxic?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision, though kinda hard to follow that great Dynamite from last night. A lot of these matches felt like filler, but because it’s AEW, they even make filler go above and beyond. Pac VS Lio was actually the first real display of this “Problem Child” persona that I really liked. Lio got to show more personality, and seeing Pac & Garcia be afraid of Lio really helped sell the character. Great win for Pac, though, and maybe he goes for the TNT title next. Brody, Mistico y Dorada of course won their match, but again, they made the squash match a fun match. Them mentioning Bandido and Supercard of Honor was nice, it means they care about ROH on some level.
Very good opening promo from Cope, but of course FTR had to show up. RPG Vice attacking again was redundant, but The Bucks making the save was a nice change. Makes me think we’re getting an 8 Man Tag, FTRPG Vice VS Cope, Cage & The Bucks, and that somehow leads to the tag title match for Double or Nothing. Great tag match from The Bucks VS The Rascalz, and even a good move for The Dogs to go after those teams. I wonder if The Dogs and even The Rascalz get in on the tag match. Five, maybe even six teams, all fighting for the titles, that’d be awesome stuff for Double or Nothing, and a great way to give The Bucks their historic fourth reign.
Kris & Shida had a very good tag match and of course they won, but I like Mina accusing Shida of being whodunnit. Shida is certainly being two-faced, but who knows if she’ll be chosen as the one who took out Toni Storm. Great Six Man Tag from Conglomeration VS Lethal Twist, and of course The Conglomeration won. Great Continental Championship Eliminator, and great showing for Nick Wayne in his return to Dynamite. I still think he needs more to do with the ROH World TV title, but hey, they could use this to say Nick won some respect from Moxley. The story still feels like Moxley and Ospreay will run it back at Double or Nothing.
And as I figured from last night, Thekla was gonna cheat to win and keep the title. It was a great main event, but there might be something bigger in store for Double or Nothing, like a Triple Threat against both Brawling Birds.
My Score: 8.8/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Renee Paquette is waiting in the parking lot.
She lets us know that AEW Management has been trying to let MJF know for the past three days that Darby Allin has demanded his AEW World Championship opportunity for tonight. A car pulls up, and MJF has arrived! Renee gets his attention, and brings up Darby’s win at AEW Dynasty. MJF stops her there, because he doesn’t get why we’re talking about Darby Allin, the guy he’s beaten three times, and once with a headlock takeover. No, what we’re gonna talk about is THE world champion, the most important champion in all of pro-wrestling today, the guy who has beaten the likes of Bandido, Brody King, Kevin Knight, Mike Bailey!
The man who has made sure that Hangman Adam Page can NEVER, EVER be AEW World Champion again, and the man who kicked out of a One Winged Angel like it was nothing! Honestly, a very ineffective move. A man who beat your boy, “Kenny BAH GAWD Omega,” fair and square in the middle of the ring! Nobody can stop #BigHebrew! But Darby has- Don Callis interrupts and he shakes MJF’s hand! What a match! He destroyed Kenny Omega! Just as Callis knew MJF would. Enjoy it, champ! MJF says Callis is a mench. Not just that, The Mench of the Cench (as in Century). Callis says sorry about the Andrade thing, though, but take care.
MJF asks what Callis means by that. Well, Darby beat Andrade. Wait, what? MJF thought Andrade won. No, didn’t MJF watch the match? NO, he was preparing for his own match! Well, Andrade… MJF stops Don there. He loves Don to death, this isn’t Don’s fault, it’s on his boy. However, now Callis owes MJF one. Now, this isn’t the favor, but Callis does need to tell Andrade on MJF’s behalf that he is NOT ever gonna be championship material because the man doesn’t get the job done when he needs to. MJF reiterates that he loves Don, and he says bye, Renee, he’s outta here. But then Renee shouts at MJF to just listen!
Darby Allin won his match at Dynasty, making him #1 contender, and he wants that match TONIGHT. Does he understand!? What?! Tonight?! When?! Renee chuckles as she says, right now. WHAT THE WHAT?!? MJF is furious, he just arrived! Does MJF even stand a chance? Or has Darby gotten one over on The Devil of AEW?
AEW World Championship: MJF VS Darby Allin!
MJF panics as he shouts, “NO! NO! NO! Cut the music! Cut the gaddamn music right now!!” The fans boo but MJF storms down to the ring. MJF says if the “little emo freak” thinks for one solitary second that MJF is defending his title in an impromptu that he just found out about three seconds ago, then Darby is as stupid as he looks! The fans boo but MJF tells them to shut up! Maybe the people are too braindead to understand how much money MJF has. If he doesn’t want something to happen, it won’t happen! MJF will get his lawyer, he’ll sue “that skank, Aubrey,” he’ll sue Darby, he’ll sue “that pervert, Justin Roberts!”
MJF will sue Tony Khan, sue AEW, sue Warner Brothers, and every single one of these freaks who decide to live in the dumpster fire that is Washington state! The fans chant “Ring The Bell!” MJF mockingly asks back, “Ring the bell? You wanna see the match right now?! Do you wanna see this match?! Too bad! My back hurts from wrestling close to an hour against Kenny Omega only three days ago. Speaking of legalities, I wonder how our company would look if they forced me to wrestle tonight with an injury. That’s not a good look. Darby, I’m gonna go get checked out by the trainers in the back, but frankly, I’m doing you a favor by not wrestling you.”
The fans boo more, MJF’s mic gets glitchy, so he trades with Justin Roberts. MJF says he is doing Darby a favor. Let’s talk the elephant in the room: Darby is very talented, a great underdog, the fans love him! They really do. But the reason they love you is because you’re like them. You’re good, but not great. Like the fans, you’re not championship material. Darby, with love and respect, and MJF does mean that, you’re not ready to be- Darby snatches the mic from MJF! Darby is worked up already as the fans cheer him on. “All it takes is one night to drop the wrestling world’s on its head! If I’m not ready now, I’ll never be ready!”
The fans cheer Darby on as he says, “I kill myself for this company. Monday, I hung posters all around this city. I taped posters all around the city for tonight’s show. I climbed Mount Everest and I hung that flag on top of the world! The scars, the blood, everything! I’m ready! I’ve been ready! My career started ten miles down the road, at the Buddy Wayne Academy. And I took a deep breath my first day of wrestling school, and I said I was either gonna make it as Darby Allin, or I’m gonna fail as Darby, but I’m not changing a single thing!” The fans cheer that, too! Darby says tonight, he climbed to the top of this sport, and he didn’t change a thing! RING THE BELL!
The fans are fired up again but MJF says first off, relax, we’re not doing that. But then BRYAN DANIELSON speaks up! The fans cheer as Bryan tells MJF and Darby that he just got a message right from Tony Khan. And Tony Khan actually agrees… with MJF… It is unfair for MJF to wrestle when he is unprepared. And Max, that is why Tony will give MJF plenty of time to prepare, because this match, this AEW World Championship match, will be in tonight’s MAIN EVENT! The fans cheer that! MJF is furious, because that’s still only 90 minutes! MJF protests, but the fans cheer “YES! YES! YES!” Bryan says if MJF refuses that match, he will be STRIPPED of the title!
MJF is furious, but Darby turns him around to say, “Tonight in the main event, I’m beating your ass with a headlock takeover!” Darby throws down the mic, having thrown down the gauntlet! Will everything come full circle for the Relentless One?
AEW shares footage from after Dynasty.
Tony Schiavone waited outside the trainer’s room and spoke on the amazing night and amazing main event. He has Kenny Omega here, and he says he knows it was a heartbreaking loss. How is Kenny doing? Kenny isn’t sure what to say, he has nothing. He is sorry about that. Schiavone says that’s alright, just take care of yourself. Doc Sampson helps Kenny walk through the door, and Will Ospreay is also getting checked out. Kenny says, “Look at us, Will.” Ospreay feeling okay? Not really. Welcome to the club. Things didn’t go their way tonight. Not one bit. Not how they pictured it. Kenny feels he let everyone down.
Ospreay gets that, but he wants Kenny to think about it. Ospreay was there in the Tokyo Dome back in 2017 when Omega lost to Okada. Omega doubted himself, but he bounced back and climbed up the mountain. Yeah, but that was almost 10 years ago. Omega isn’t sure how much time he has left. But Ospreay does have time. He has the heart of a wrestler. AEW, pro-wrestling, it’s all Ospreay from here on in. Omega believes Ospreay can take it back. Ospreay’s got this. Ospreay says they still have this.
Now, Ospreay is dejected, sad, crying for about the last 40 minutes. But his dream and his ambition are still being AEW World Champion. He hopes Kenny hasn’t given up that dream, either. Omega can do it. Ospreay stands up, says he always has Kenny’s back, and gives him a pat and kiss on the head. Ospreay says Omega’s his hero. They shake on it and Ospreay heads out. Omega thinks on that. Omega is Ospreay’s hero, huh? Then maybe he can’t give up. The Best Bout Machine has a lot to think about, but will he rebuild and redeem himself just as before? Or will it take a bit more than determination to reclaim that former glory?
Tommaso Ciampa VS Dezmond Xavier!
The Psycho Killer wanted “Silvey” back so badly, but despite starting the Casino Gauntlet, he did not win the Casino Gauntlet. Will he fight his way back to a new opportunity? Or will Dez light it up and look for his own golden ticket?

Ciampa checks his teeth, it seems they’re all there, so Ciampa takes his time goes back to the ring. Ciampa rolls in, only to roll back out, and he grabs a mic to talk trash on Seattle. Ciampa then storms up to the apron, but he just baits Dez into chasing him around the outside. Dez slides in but Ciampa stomps away! The ref counts, Ciampa stops to mock Seattle again, and he hoists Dez up to SLINGSHOT him off the ropes!

Winner: Tommaso Ciampa, by pinfall
Another singles victory for Ciampa, but he demands the mic. “This was the example. Why? Because I’m sick of waiting. I want it all. I came to AEW because this is where the best wrestle, and I want all of the gold. And if I’m not making myself clear… Darby Allin, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, whoever wins… the Psycho Killer is coming for the AEW World title!” Then he PUNTS Dez outta the ring! His shadow knows his story, but will Ciampa’s future be the top of the mountain?

FTR is here!
Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood are still the AEW World Tag Team Champions as they and Stokely Hathaway make their way to the ring. #BigStoke is all smiles as he hands the mic to Dax. Dax says he’s read a lot of the chatter online, he’s heard all the complaints, and it seems to him the fact that FTR has won again makes all of the fans angry. Hey, he gets it, he understands why they’re angry. They love an underdog story! They love an underdog story because they think they can relate to it, they feel they can relate to the underdog. But the fact is, they’re not underdogs, they’re just losers! No, seriously, they’re just losers! Fat losers!
And speaking of losers, FTR gave Adam Copeland & Christian Cage a brush with relevancy, and those two couldn’t get the job done. So Cope, Cage, Dax is talking to you: As long as FTR are the AEW World Tag Team Champions, C&C will never get a shot at these again! Stoke says he has been told that supposedly, all the fans are educated people? The fans chant, “NO HOES!” Stokely says he don’t need hoes, he has the AEW World Tag Team Champions. But before he was so rudely interrupted, he has been told that “the sickos” know everything about everything! They know about pro-wrestling, about sports, about politics, about history, religion!
So then clearly, they all know the story of David VS Goliath! And the two men that Stoke has in this ring, this is Goliath! And he is here to tell us, that there are a lot of Milli Vanillis, a lot of wannabe Davids! From #Brodido to the Bang Bang Gang to even Matt & Nick Jackson and Cope & Cage! Stoke is here to say that every time David steps up to Goliath, he gets b*tched out. Stoke feels there is no more competition here in AEW! Tony Khan will surely do what he does best and go to CMLL or NJPW, sign every CHUD he can to put in the division, but the results will be the same: they all will fall to the giants known as F T R!
Cash says beautifully said, Big Stoke. Now, if the fans would do FTR a favor and please, he’s asking nicely, let them pay homage to the careers of Cope & Cage. Now that FTR has put an end to them, they would like to have a moment of silence. Please, if you would… The fans boo instead. Cash says please, a moment of silence. And then it’s one second. Now, for those of you in attendance with the benefit of flash photography, FTR won’t give you five seconds, they’re feeling generous. They will give you a ten second pose! The fans boo but FTR does their best “Barry Allen over Oliver Queen’s grave” style pose.
The ten seconds are up and Cash thanks Seattle, they’ve been great, have a great night. The fans boo more, but FTR is moving on with the belts. But is there really no team in AEW that can take these #TopGuysOut?

The Jet may have felt like an underdog champion, but he proved he is a rightful champion! Knight gets a mic to say, “Yo, yo, yo! Everett, Washington! Y’all miss me?” The fans cheer for that! Knight says shoutout to Claudio, by far one of the hardest hitting dudes, one of the strongest opponents Knight’s ever had. Give it up for Claudio. The fans do cheer Claudio, and Knight says he won’t let that stop him. The Jet is looking good, feeling even better, as your NEW TNT Champion, baby! The fans cheer for that, too. Knight says before he won this, he did lose the trios titles. Speedball, Knight knows you’re beating yourself up over that, but don’t take it personally, he doesn’t blame you.
And as they say, when one door closes, another one opens. Sometimes you gotta slow down to speed back up, and The Jet is riding high, baby! The fans cheer again, and Knight says tonight, there’s a big one with Darby Allin VS MJF for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship! And well, Knight will keep a close eye on that one, because #Jet2Belts sounds #2Fly! Knight is ready to add even more golden luggage to the flight log, but will his flight plan be headed for The Scumbag from Long Island? Or will it be the hometown hero in Darby Allin?
Renee Paquette is in the ring.
Spring Breakthru returns as she says to welcome the legendary Chris Jericho! The fans cheer as The Demo God, The Ayatollah of Rock ‘n’ Rolla, The Nueve, Y2J makes his entrance. Jericho gets pyro while he struts down the ramp and the fans sing along with Judas. Jericho joins Renee in the ring, and Renee says it is so good to see him, and the fans are sure happy to see him. Jericho fires the fans up more and they chant his name. Renee says maybe not everyone is happy, since last week, Ricochet came out here and said Jericho would be rusty. Clearly, from the match on Sunday, that is not the case. How did Jericho feel his first match back?
Jericho know show he feels being back in Everett, Washington tonight. But he feels so happy to be back in AEW. It was great to be back in the ring at Dynasty. One of his favorite matches in a long time, in front of a great crowd. Even though Jericho lost, he didn’t loss because of rust or overexcitement, it was because he was outnumbered 3v1. The fans agree with that. Jericho still gives credit where credit is due, congrats to Ricochet for probably the biggest win- Oh, well, Ricochet makes his way out here, The Gates of Agony by his side. Ricochet has a mic to tell the fans to sit down, shut up, and listen! The fans chant “BALD!” instead.
Ricochet then tells Jericho that he meant every single word when he said he respects Jericho. And after that valiant performance at Dynasty, Ricochet respects Jericho even more. But Jericho didn’t listen to Ricochet at all, did he? No, he signed his contract and got himself hurt, just like Ricochet said Jericho would. And on top of that, Ricochet had to do it! The opportunity was in the palm of his hand, so he had to take Jericho out with his own move, the Lionsault! Or what will be renamed “The Ricosault.” The fans boo that idea, but Ricochet says he gives Jericho credit, Jericho didn’t completely embarrass himself. He did pretty good, but just not good enough to overcome the rise of Ricochet.
The fans tell Ricochet to STFU, but he says he’ll be out here all night if he wants! But as he was saying, Jericho wasn’t good enough to beat Ricochet, so maybe do yourself a favor and quite now while you’re ahead. Well, unless… Jericho is the king of reinvention. The Lionheart, the guy in the suits with the big words, the Demo God, the light up jacket, we’ve seen it all! So here’s an idea: Jericho becomes the guy who gets his ass beat by The Demand every single week he shows up! The fans boo again, but Ricochet says the fans must like that idea. Jericho can stick around after all and have the best run of his entire career!
Jericho asks Renee to please step aside. Jericho says first off, “The Ricosault?” That’s brutally bad. Secondly, bald. The fans chant “BALD!” But Jericho appreciates Ricochet coming out here, bald, and giving him some insight, because Jericho really respects Ricochet’s opinions, bald. The fans cheer and laugh, but Jericho continues by saying he knows what the game is here, weird shaped head. Ricochet is on stage with his goons, dumb and ugly, and they’re gonna back Ricochet up no matter what it is he says or does, bald. So here’s a proposition for you, bald. Why not leave his goons, dumb and ugly, on the stage, come on down here, bald, and face Jericho 1v1 right here in Everett, BALD!?
The fans fire up for that idea, but Ricochet says don’t think he doesn’t see what Jericho’s doing! He knows what Ricochet’s saying! Jericho doesn’t get to call Ricochet bald, and he’s not afraid to face Jericho 1v1! Well, Jericho feels Ricochet is too scared, and bald, to come down here. Ricochet says fine! Liona, Kaun, stay up here, and no matter what, let Ricochet handle this 1v1. Do not help him no matter what, understand? Ricochet drops the mic, takes off the jacket and the vest, and so does Jericho. Ricochet rushes the ring, Jericho dodges him, and then HIP TOSS! Jericho runs, and he LARIATS! The fans fire up but Ricochet waves to his guys!
Jericho stomps away, GOA run in, but Jericho fires hands! That’s still 3v1, so much for Ricochet honoring the deal! The fans boo, but The Demand let off, only for Jericho to go after them again! Jericho gets mugged again, then they CLOSE THE GATES on Jericho! The fans boo harder but then Ricochet gets an idea. LIONSAULT! The fans boo again, but now The Demand stand tall. Will Jericho have to go back to the drawing board to gameplan a way to defeat Bald, Dumb & Ugly?
AEW shares more footage from after Dynasty.
Renee Paquette found Don Callis & Kazuchika Okada to ask them what happened out there against The Young Bucks. Callis says what happened was that there was a 2v1 situation, two Bucks, one Rainmaker! But then Callis spots Takeshita and confronts him. What happened? The Alpha says that was an accident. Oops. He’s so sorry~! Takeshita mocks Okada, Okada throws his armbands at Takeshita, then insults him in Japanese. Callis says it’s okay, they’re not done, they’ll work this out. But is Callis the one who needs to work out that things aren’t okay in the Don Callis Family?
Will Ospreay VS Hechicero!
The Aerial Assassin told Kenny Omega to keep his chin up, and surely Ospreay is taking his own advice. Will the #BillyGOAT get back on the horse by taking down the CMLL World Heavyweight Champion? Or will the Alchemist of Lucha simply add insult to injury?
But wait, Don Callis makes his entrance. Callis says he has something important to say. And in his horrible Espanol, Callis says, “Todos los personas del Everett, Washington that is muy, muy stupido, from the great country of Mexico…! Es un cabra muy super intendoooooooo~! YO! SOY! HE-CHI-CEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!” So it’s been how long and no one has told Don he gets that wrong? That aside, Hechi makes his entrance with new music and more pyro. The bell rings and the fans fire up for Ospreay. Ospreay and Hechi feel things out, tie up, and Hechi puts Ospreay on the ropes. The fans sing “OSPREAY~ OSPREAY OSPREAY OSPREAY~!” while the ref counts.
Hechi and Ospreay go along the ropes, but the ref counts again. Hechi grabs a leg, sweeps the other, then keeps on Ospreay with a toehold. Ospreay grabs at Hechi but Hechi knuckle locks that hand.

Hechi has the legs, he turns Ospreay around, and then pulls hair to bend the neck! The ref counts, Hechi lets go, and Hechi hooks Ospreay up into a cradle, TWO! Ospreay hits a headlock takeover, but Hechi headscissors back. Ospreay fights around, hops around, and he handsprings through! The fans cheer, but then the neck and shoulder bother Ospreay. Hechi BLINDSIDE DROPKICKS Ospreay down! Hechi shows off with drop steps while the fans are torn. Hechi stomps Ospreay, CLUBS him, then CHOPS! Ospreay hobbles away but Hechi whips Ospreay to ropes. Ospreay ducks ‘n’ dodges to RANA! The fans fire up while Hechi bails out!
Ospreay gets the fans to join in with “OI! OI! OI!” then he goes to the ropes. Ospreay PLANCHAS and brings Hechi down! The fans fire up as Ospreay stands tall while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Ospreay shakes out his arm, then he stomps Hechi. Ospreay stands Hechi up, throws him into railing, then CHOPS him to the corner. Ospreay ROCKS Hechi, then brings him around, only for Hechi to fire body shots. Ospreay fires back with forearms and UPPERCUTS. They go around the way before Ospreay puts Hechi in the corner. Ospreay warns Callis and even Lance Archer, then he BOOTS Hechi down. Ospreay leads fans in taunting Callis, then he bumps Hechi off buckles. Ospreay climbs up and he rains down fists! Ospreay goes all the way to TEN, but Hechi lifts him off the corner! Ospreay fights free, and WHEEL KICKS Hechi down!
Ospreay drags Hechi around, steps through, and has the FIGURE FOUR! Ospreay shows he can do technical wrestling, too! Hechi endures, even as Ospreay puts on the pressure. Hechi CLUBS the leg, twists the foot, but Ospreay puts on more pressure! Hechi reaches out, and makes the ROPEBREAK! Ospreay lets Hechi go, then stomps him down. Ospreay steps through on the spinning toehold! Ospreay ELBOWS Hechi down, then stalks him to ropes. Spring Breakthru returns to single picture as Hechi fires a body shot, but Ospreay fires a forearm! They trade shots, and Ospreay spots Marina Shafir in the crowd.
Ospreay warns The Problem, but Marina says she’s just here to watch. Ospreay whips but Hechi reverses to duck the kick, and pump handle Ospreay into a modified abdominal stretch! Hechi then scoops Ospreay, but Ospreay slips free and waistlocks. Hechi switches, Ospreay switches, repeat! Hechi hammerlocks and swings Ospreay around, MAD SCIENTIST BACKBREAKER!

Will #DangerousDavis prove to be hazardous for Ospreay’s health?
Renee Paquette is on stage.
She says this has been an incredible night for Spring Breakthru, but then Thekla immediately interrupts from… somewhere… with a whiny, mocking, “No~, niet~, nein~!” The Toxic Spider creeps in from up in the crowd, and she tells Renee that Renee looks good tonight. But not a single person here paid to see Renee flap her lips, when the Toxic Spider is in the house! The fans do cheer Thekla, and she says she just wanted to remind everybody that she marched into Dynasty THE AEW Women’s World Champion, and she defeated the great Jamie Hayter. “I beat her ass good!” And then she walked out still the champion.
Y’all better get used to that! Because this industry is filled with nothing but dumb b*tches! But then Alex Windsor storms out on stage to interrupt Thekla! “Did you really think I was gonna let you say that you actually beat Jamie Hayter? No, no, no, and I’m certainly not gonna let you waltz around tonight when I should beat the piss out of you right bloody now!” Thekla says wow, wow, wow. She says the word “dumb b*tch,” and one magically appears! Why is Alex so angry? Don’t blame Thekla that Alex’s best friend lost, or that her husband lost for that matter. Alex tells Thekla that she’s forgetting she’s not the only champion.
You are looking at THE NJPW Strong Women’s Champion, Alex WINDSAAA~! The fans cheer, and Alex asks if Thekla wonders what they say about her in Japan. What do they say in Japan? They don’t call Thekla a champ, they call her the girl who was stupid enough to get herself fired! Oi, oi, oi, mate, chill yer balls, oi! Thekla didn’t get fired. Well, okay, she did. BUT…! Only because they couldn’t handle her, just like no one in AEW can handle Thekla! Oh, nobody can handle Thekla? Okay, alright. Windsor gets in the ring, and says she’ll handle Thekla right now! How about NO~! Alexa says fine, champ, have it your way.
How about Thekla puts that lovely title on the line, and Alex will meet Thekla back here on Collision? Alright, Thekla likes that. But then The Sisters of Sin rush in from outta nowhere! But Alex HEADBUTTS Skye and LARIATS Julia! So much for that sneak attack! Thekla still smiles, then hurries off before Alex can rush the crowd! Will Thekla take out both Brawling Birds in the same week? Or will Alex make herself a double champion?
The Death Riders speak.
Jon Moxley says he actually likes surprises. Someone like Will Ospreay, who he’s known and studied for a long time, doesn’t surprise him. Marina Shafir walks in and Moxley asks how Ospreay looked. Rough? Green around the gills? Oh, yeah. Maybe Moxley has a talent for seeing exactly how all the dominos fall, maybe he just gets lucky, or maybe he just pays more attention. But Ospreay showed Moxley his cards, they were on the table, so don’t get mad at Moxley. Contrary to popular belief, Moxley doesn’t take pleasure in the suffering of others. Though, there can be beauty in it. Moxley prefers life over death, light over darkness, but you don’t get one without the other.
What was that kid’s name again? Nick Wayne. Right, tomorrow is the biggest night of Nick’s life. Continental Championship Eliminator on Collision. Moxley doesn’t know much about Nick, so please, please, surprise him. But this is Continental Rules, adult stuff, for grownups. So please, leave Mommy in the back. Will The Prodigy prove he can man up and do things on his own? Or will Moxley just add him to the long list of names of those who can’t keep up?

Winner: Willow Nightingale, by pinfall (still AEW TBS Champion)
Another match, another night where Willow snatches victory from the jaws of defeat! Another comeback killed, and we cut backstage to see Kris Statlander & Hikaru Shida applauding. Shida congratulates their great friend on another great victory. Doesn’t Stat agree? Shida interrupts Kris before she can even start, going on in Japanese, then goes back to English to say that last Saturday, Shida & Stat made a great team! Two AEW Originals! Kris keeps wanting to talk but Shida seems to compliment herself in Japanese. Shida says they will keep it going on Collision tomorrow night! She can’t wait! So, see you there, Kris!
Shida leaves before Kris can say anything, but will actions speak louder than words when The Galaxy’s Greatest & The Shining Samurai step back into the ring?
Backstage interview with Darby Allin.
Renee walks ‘n’ talks with the #1 contender, and says this is it: AEW World Championship. The stakes don’t get higher than this. Any last words before he goes out there? Darby wants to say something, but STING is there to see him off! “You ready?” Darby nods and says, “You got anything for me?” Sting says no, Darby already knows what to do, he just has to get out there and do it. Darby nods and fist bumps Sting. It’s showtime. No, not showtime, it’s YOUR TIME, Darby! Now, go take it. The Icon seeds Darby off, are we about to have a Relentless AEW World Champion?
AEW World Championship: MJF VS Darby Allin!
Spring Breakthru returns from one last commercial break, and it IS time! The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and ready or not, Dynamite is about to end with an instant classic!
The bell rings and the fans fire up for Darby as he stares down with MJF. Darby rises slowly while MJF is already moving with some anxious energy. The fans chant, “F him up, Darby, F him up!” Darby and MJF circle, but then MJF says timeout! The fans boo, there’s no timeouts in this kind of match! MJF says he forgot about the Dynamite Diamond Ring! MJF takes it out and hands it to Aubrey Edwards. Aubrey puts the ring aside, but MJF LOW BLOWS Darby! The fans boo as MJF still uses the diamond ring as an advantage! MJF then headlocks, and he calls the takeover. But Darby SHOVES MJF at Aubrey!
Aubrey shields herself in the ropes, but then Darby LOW BLOWS MJF!! The fans go nuts as MJF tastes karma, and then he gets a SCORPION DEATH DROP!! Darby goes up top, for a COFFIN DROP!! Then another COFFIN DROP!! The fans are thunderous and Darby is all fired up! Darby makes sure MJF is in place for a THIRD COFFIN DROP!! MJF scrambles around but Darby puts him in another drop zone! A FOURTH COFFIN DROP!! Seattle is erupting as Darby hits the headlock takeover! Cover, DARBY WINS!!!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (NEW AEW World Champion)
Seattle EXPLODES with celebration! Because yes, Darby didn’t just win, he didn’t just win with a headlock takeover, he won to become THE AEW World Champion!! The locker room hurries out here to celebrate, from The Conglomeration to The Rascalz to The Outrunners, Brodido, JetSpeed, and The Young Bucks! Confetti flies as the pyro goes off on stage! Darby stands tall in his hometown, family and friends here to see it with their own eyes! And of course, IT’S STIIIING~! Sting howls in celebration for Darby and the fans join in! The blood, the glass, the fire, the climb, not just up Mount Everest but in AEW, it was ALL worth it! Will AEW be all in on Darby Allin?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Dynamite to not just be Spring Breakthru but to follow Dynasty. I loved how they played this with MJF and Darby Allin. MJF didn’t pay attention to anything, not even texts and calls form AEW, the entire time he was celebrating his win over Omega, so of course Darby’s challenge caught him off-guard. Now granted, I thought MJF VS Darby was going to be the main event from the start, but Bryan Danielson getting to give that news was a nice way to bring him into this. I know AEW doesn’t like to copy WWE, but there should be a GM to make these decisions. That said, I also love how they played the main event. The takeover as the pinfall was perfect, given the history between Darby and MJF, and what a great moment for Darby to celebrate with all the Faces, Sting included.
Great match from Ciampa VS Dez, and Ciampa wanting right at the top works just fine for him. Ciampa never got to be top champ on WWE main roster, or even compete for it, but he’ll make a great AEW main eventer. Great TNT Championship match from Knight VS Claudio, great win for Knight, and maybe not surprisingly, he again throws his hat into the world title picture. I feel like challengers for the TNT title should be keeping him busy instead, but maybe Ciampa VS Knight establishes a clear contender going into Double or Nothing. Great TBS Championship match from Willow VS Kamille, and Willow getting another win via backslide is good story. Her arm is bad, Kamille is tough, a quick pin teases they could do this again for Double or Nothing.
Very good promo from Kris & Shida right after the TBS title, even with it being Shida talking nonstop and Kris left uncertain about the team-up. They’ll surely win their match on Collision but I feel like the team is already going to fall apart and set up a match that sends one of them after a title. Thekla and Windsor had a very good promo, and setting up a Women’s World Championship match is great stuff. I would think Thekla cheats another win, or at least tries. Jamie Hayter could back Windsor up, only for the Sisters of Sin to complicate things. Not sure what the title match for Double or Nothing is going to be, though…
Great promo from Omega and Ospreay, great match from Ospreay VS Hechicero. It was a little scary when Doc was checking Ospreay’s neck, but maybe that was just them playing up the injury for story. And with Don Callis Family picking on Ospreay again, I wonder if Omega backs Ospreay up and they have another team-up, but against Don Callis Family. Though, that feels like rehashing old material when you think about it. Moxley had a good promo, and pretty clear he’ll beat Nick Wayne, but there might be more with Death Riders and Ospreay. I wonder if there’s a possibility of a Triple Threat Tag, Omega & Ospreay VS Moxley & Claudio VS Mark Davis & Hechicero, just so all stories can be told at once.
And very good stuff with Jericho and The Demand. Another hilarious and brilliant promo from Jericho, but of course he gets beat up 3v1. Again, Jericho either gets another faction going, reunites an old one, or at least has a team-up with someone who also dislikes The Demand. But in the end, we know this will result in Ricochet VS Jericho 1v1 again, Jericho gets his win back, and that compels a tiebreaker. Not exactly the Jericho Vortex but it’s not not the Jericho Vortex.
My Score: 9/10
