Winner: Chris Jericho, by submission

The Ocho snatches this win from Komander, but wait. Here comes Don Callis. Despicable Don has a mic and he goes right to the ring to look Jericho in the eyes. Fans boo but Don still says, “Hell of a match, kid. Hell of a match. That’s why you’re the GOAT.” Jericho appreciates being called “kid.” Don asks if Jericho saw the ratings for their segment last week. The entire wrestling world is buzzing, just at the possibility of Jericho, the Greatest Of All Time, joining the Don Callis Family! And that got him thinking… 34 years of friendship, but 28 years ago, they were part of a faction led by their mentor, the late great Bad News Allen.

And Don isn’t one to get nostalgic, but he did put together a little something. Roll it! The tron plays a video, young Jericho and young Callis all fired up in the ring with Bad News. Jericho remembers that. Callis says they were like a couple Canadian gods! Jericho does remember that day, back in 1995. The funny thing is, Jericho still has all his hair. And Jericho remembers Bad News telling him to make sure that he and Callis always stick together. Callis says that was the same promise Bad News wanted him to keep. They went their separate ways, Jericho had his great success, but they didn’t keep the promise to Bad News.

And Callis may be getting a little emotional, but all this buzz from the idea of them reuniting, maybe Bad News is up there in Heaven, smile on his face, just at the possibility. But Callis isn’t going to put that pressure on Jericho, Jericho can let him know when he’s ready. But Callis is sure, in Jericho’s heart, they both know what Bad News would want. Callis leaves, Jericho gives a glance to the skies. Is Callis guilt tripping Jericho into joining up? Or will Jericho have some bad news for Callis?

Backstage interview with Jack Perry.

Well, not really, as Alex Marvez has been waiting for several minutes and yet Jack refuses to get out of his car. Alex knocks on the window, it rolls down, and Alex asks what’s going on. Jack says what’s going on is that this is an UNSAFE WORK ENVIRONMENT! People are getting assaulted out there, and Jack is just here to do his job, which happens in the ring, not the parking lot like some dirty little scumbag. But then something smacks the other side of the car! Jack freaks out, Hook is opening up the other door! Jericho gets out, but Hook grabs his hair! Jack ELBOWS Hook away, runs off, and Hook fumbles out of the car.

The car drives off, Jack is nowhere to be seen, and Hook tells him, “Keep running, Perry.” When and where will the Cold Hearted Handsome Devil get his hands on Jack?

Backstage interview with Don Callis.

Renee Paquette says there could be big news for the Don Callis Family, and she catches Callis as he walks through. She wants his reaction to this possible development after his talk with Jericho. Callis says Jericho is a fabulous athlete, but if we’re talking announcements, later tonight, Callis will go back out there, by himself, and reveal what we’ve been waiting for: THE FIFTH MAN for The Blackpool Combat Club to face The Elite in Blood & Guts! Renee says that he’d be rather “vulnerable” going out there alone given his relationship with Kenny Omega. Any concerns?

Well, Renee, Callis isn’t a tough guy, never claimed to be, but if there’s one guy in this entire business that he is NOT afraid of, “it’s that gutless coward, Kenny Omega.” Omega showed his real colors when he betrayed the family! Callis expects no problems as Omega hides behind the skirts of The Young Bucks. Renee thanks him for his time and wishes him luck, but is Callis playing with fire calling out Omega & The Elite like that?

MJF and Adam Cole have another “Bro session.”

This time, they’re relaxing at the bar with some shots. Strong stuff, and MJF says he didn’t wanna make a big deal out of this, but he is feeling like Cole isn’t a team player. What does MJF mean? MJF wants to know where the Better Than You Baybay shirt went. MJF keeps rocking it. Cole admits, he lost it. Sometimes he misplaces things. Is he trying to BS a BS’er? No, Cole isn’t BS’ing anyone. That sounds hostile. Hostile? Cole’s not being hostile, he’s being honest. But then some ladies walk by and say hi. MJF says hi back, then leans in to Cole. He may not be a mathematician, but he is pretty sure that’s two for him and two for Cole.

Cole laughs that off. No, Max, no. Oh, c’mon, MJF can get the cameras to go away. No, Max, you need to understand. Cole actually does care for Britt Baker. Wow. Respect, man. So brave. Four for daddy then. Oh ladies, would anyone like to join the World Champion to el bano? Wait, the bathroom…? Well, whatever MJF offered, all four ladies accept. Cole has a little more while MJF is gone, and he says, “Cameraman, what up?” MJF returns and his “ride” is spent. Dude, you can’t talk like that in public. That’s gross. Whatever, dude. What’s next? Well, a confession to make. Cole never lost the shirt. KNEW IT!

But hold on, Cole says he will wear it here and now if they do what he wants to do next. And what’s that? Cole whispers it to MJF. Dude, WHAT!? They sit down and play AEW Fight Forever, now available on all platforms! MJF is not playing video games “like some weirdo virgin weeaboo nerd.” Hey, Max, listen. You are in the game. And on top of that, your stats are good. How good? Like, really really good. And so they play a tag team match, as themselves, against FTR. They do combo moves, strings of moves, and MJF says it’s actually fun. See? Trust Cole. MJF says it’s just more fun to play games in general when you’ve got a buddy playing with you.

Yeah, true. But wait. Does that mean Max has never played like multiplayer games before? Well… You kinda need friends for that… Oh. Cole has them pause so they can talk. Cole wants to be totally transparent and honest here. When they were forced to be a team, he had every intention of blindsiding MJF and cutting him out at the knees. MJF chuckles, and says that’s what HE was gonna do! They share a laugh, and Cole says MJF is actually pretty cool. Max is cool. He means that? Of course. Well, Cole is cool, too. Y’know what? Let’s go win the AEW World Tag Team Championships for real, because they’re Better Than You, BAYBAY!

Cole & MJF fist bump, and then back to the game, they steal Big Rig from FTR! And they win! Cole & MJF are tag team champions in the game, are becoming friends in real life, will they become tag team champions in real life to match?

Sammy shows respect to Darby, not aware of what just happened. Darby still accepts the handshake, but is what Darby has been saying true? Is there still something Sammy needs to do to be his own man?

AEW hears from Nick Wayne.

Nick opens up the garage to the wrestling ring he was taught and trained to be a pro-wrestler. This is where he spent most of his time with his father, Buddy Wayne, and Darby Allin. From six months old, he running around in the ring, but started training seriously at nine years old. He remembers the day his father passed. His mother arrived home, took him into the garage and sat him down on the apron, right were Nick is sitting now, and then she burst into tears. She brought up how they all knew his dad had heart problems, that he had two open heart surgeries in the past. “Dad isn’t here anymore.”

Nick remembers his heart sinking to his stomach and bursting into tears. He felt so lost, both in life and professional wrestling. He lost his father and his trainer, and wondered what was next. He no longer had a father figure. From ages 9 to 11, he trained for himself, to become a pro-wrestler so that he could one day perform and be a wrestler. But after his dad passed, it became as much for himself as it was for his dad’s memory and legacy. After getting constantly asked if he is ready for AEW and national television and all the pressure that comes with that, his answer is still yes. He has been preparing for this his entire life, and he knows this is what he’s meant for.

Backstage interview with Adam Cole.

Renee is with the Undisputed One but he’s on the phone with someone. Cole promises Britt she has nothing to worry about, he did not go with MJF and those women, he loves her more than anything. Renee says Cole’s match alongside MJF is up next, and Cole finishes up his call. Then Roderick Strong walks in. He just has to know: Cole cannot actually be starting to like MJF, can he? Cole says MJF isn’t a half bad guy. Surely Roddy remembers when they first met, they weren’t the best of friends, and now Roddy is like a brother to him. Just trust him, there’s nothing to worry about.

Oh, wait, MJF just texted. “Dude, don’t forget to rock our epic tag shirt. Also, we hitting that double clothesline or what?” Cole smirks, but then MJF adds, “Actually, nevermind, I just saw Brian Cage walk by me in the hall, I think I have the flu, sorry.” Cole tells Roddy and Renee sorry but he has to go make a call. Cole hurries off and gets MJF on the phone. Max, you are NOT sick, let’s go! Renee says this is a bit out of control. Roddy agrees. Will MJF & Cole get back on the same page, despite the Herculean task ahead of them?

Blind Eliminator Tag Team Tournament Semifinal: MJF & Adam Cole VS “Big Bill” Morrissey & Brian Cage!

Fans actually chant for MJF as even gives over the Dynamite Diamond Ring so he won’t be tempted. And guess what? Cole IS wearing the shirt! The teams sort out and MJF starts against Bill.

Cole asks if MJF is okay, and MJF gets up to tag out. Cole asks what’s going on, and MJF wants to leave?! Cole stops MJF, reminds him of what they just agreed on playing Fight Forever.

Do the thing!” Fans chant along, and Cole sets up. ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!! MJF says that’s right. And by the way, here’s something else that’s cool: their new T-shirt, now available at AEWShop.com, buy yours today.

MJF says that he and Cole are so close to that double clothesline. But enough about that, it is coming. Fans cheer that, and MJF revels in the “DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE!” chant. MJF says they’re all so White, get on beat. But Cole, talk to the crazy Canucks. Talk to ’em. Cole tells MJF to stop touching the shirt. Work on boundaries. But who’s ready for story time with Adam Cole, baybay? Fans cheer, and Cole says, “Never in my wildest dreams did I expect a tag team like MJF & Adam Cole Baybay to work. Not only has it worked, but I think we’re doing pretty damn good, don’t you?” Fans cheer in agreement.

Cole didn’t have high expectations for this team, but what he does have high expectations for is them winning this tournament! And why stop there? Because if they win the tournament, then on July 29th, AEW Collision, in Connecticut, if MJF & Cole win the tournament, they get that shot at the AEW World Tag Team Championships. Fans like the sound of that! “And boys and girls, I am gonna make a promise right here, right now. If we stay on the same page that we’ve been on, you are looking at the NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions!” Fans really like the sound of that!

Cole then asks MJF, “Why is that?” “Oh, why? Why? Because we’re BETTER THAN YOU!” “BAYBAY!!” These two are on a roll and loving every second, but Roderick Strong is watching backstage, and he is not. Can the Savior of the Backbreaker just trust Cole and how he trusts MJF? Will it even matter after they face Guevara & Garcia?

Backstage interview with Jake Hager.

Renee waits with Big Hurt outside of Chris Jericho’s locker room, and huge implications for the Jericho Appreciation Society with all the possibilities buzzing around Jericho and Callis. Hager says Jericho knows we’re coming, so let’s go in. Hager steps in and shakes hands with Jericho. Hager points out that Jericho was smiling after talking with Callis. Is he really considering the offer? Jericho takes a sip of water, then says he figured Hager would ask about that. But Jericho just isn’t sure. Callis makes a lot of great points, like with Bad News Allen. That’s some great history there. But he honestly isn’t sure, he just needs time.

Hager takes off his purple bucket hat. Hager says they have history, too. Ten years ago, Hager saved Jericho’s life in Abu Dhabi. Four years ago, Jericho brought Hager into AEW. Hager left behind his undefeated MMA career because Jericho asked. And Hager has been here since day one. So he deserves to know. And he gets it, Chris Jericho has a lot going on. But this isn’t just Jericho’s career, it is Hager’s. So unless Jericho can be straight up with him, Hager can’t give Jericho 100. He gives back the purple bucket hat?! But he loves that thing! Is the JAS falling apart before Jericho’s very eyes?

Women’s Owen Hart Cup Semifinal: Ruby Soho w/ The Outcasts VS Skye Blue!

The Runaway won the rematch of last year’s finals, but mostly thanks to Toni Storm & Saraya being involved. But Britt Baker is out, there can be a NEW Queen of Harts in AEW! Will Ruby make it back to the finals for true redemption? Or will Chicago Skye make sure Ruby is the one with No Future?

The bell rings and the two step up. They talk some trash, and then Ruby stomps a foot and SLAPS Skye! Ruby headlocks, Skye powers out, but Ruby runs her over. Ruby fires herself up while taunting Skye, then runs. Skye stays low, Ruby rolls over her, and then Ruby gets around to waistlock. Ruby ripcords but Skye breaks free to SLAP Ruby! Ruby scowls but Skye bumps her off buckles. Skye goes corner to corner and fans fire up, but Ruby puts her on the apron. Skye ROCKS Ruby back but Storm gets up on the apron.

QTV is backstage.

QT Marshall says, “Ladies and gentlemen, the moment we’ve all been waiting for: the world premiere of Rap Class by Harley Cameron, featuring Harley Cameron.” The video begins and Harley is clearly just at her house as she busts out the R&B “YEeEeEeEeEAH~!” Then she says, “Yo listen. This one goes out to The Acclaimed, let’s kick it off quick, your rhymes are lame. Couldn’t make it in the music biz, this mic’s your only claim to fame. Oh goodness, what a shocker. Y’know my rhymes will rock ya. QTV in the building, Solo’s bringin’ the Binaca. Lemme put on my glaAAasses~. Give you some rappin’ classes~!

“Glasses, asses, Daddy’s lazy, lookin’ like a sack o’ gravy. Hang up the trunks, my friend, your glory days were in the 80s. Comin’ in hot ’til you’re on fire, Johnny TV leaves no survivors. QT Marshall gonna take you all out with a QT Driver.” Harley then shows off her mile a minute style, and says she’s that good, baby. Hell yeah she quoted Shady. And that’s right, three guys just got owned by a lady. Harley’s one, she just begun. Don’t run with scissors, sit down, you just became her sons!

Video over, QTV celebrates, and for once, QT is at a loss for words. So Taz and those other guys, back to you. Admittedly, Harley does have skills to pay the bills, but will it be QT & Solo getting handed the receipt?

The Son of Heart Throb Buddy Wayne wants to do good by his late father and his trainer, as well as his pro-wrestling big brother, Darby Allin. But after Swerve screwed Darby over earlier tonight, will he ruin Nick’s first night? Or will Nick avenge Darby’s loss in his AEW debut?

Darby storms into the ring and Mama Wayne fears for her son. Swerve backs off, having successfully ruined the entire night for Darby and friends. Will Swerve look to make AEW his house by any means necessary?

BREAKING NEWS for Rampage!

On top of Athena and Willow Nightingale having their Women’s Owen Hart Cup tournament match, we hear from The Dark Order in regards to their actions towards Hangman Page! Plus, LANCE ARCHER returns to go up against Trent Beretta. Will the path of destruction from Rev-Pro and NJPW continue in the Murderhawk Monster’s return to AEW? We also hear from Toni Storm to address what, or perhaps who, is next for her AEW Women’s World Championship. And we also see a return to action from Konosuke Takeshita, as well as the tag team of Naturally Limitless, Dustin Rhodes & Keith Lee, against “Daddy Magic” Matt Menard & “Cool Hand” Angelo Parker.

Don Callis heads to the ring.

As promised, he is alone as he returns out here, mic in hand. Fans boo again as he starts speaking. “I’ve got something to say. I’m out here to make a very important announcement, I’m very excited about it. I’m here to announce the fifth member for the Blood & Guts match for the Blackpool Combat Club. And I’m so excited because this fifth member, along with the rest of the BCC, is going to slaughter The Elite and Kenny Omega, may God guide their hand. And there’s no one more deserving of this abuse than Kenny Omega, who is an ingrate. Kenny Omega, you all love him, but I know the REAL Kenny Omega!”

Fans boo more as Callis rants on, “The REAL Kenny Omega is a coward and a punk!” But wait, here comes Kenny Omega! What was that about being a coward? Omega goes to the ring, but KONOSUKE TAKESHITA AND JON MOXLEY spring out from the shadows! So much for being alone! Omega fights off Konosuke and Mox, but that’s still 2v1! Even so, Omega throws Moxley into railing, and DECKS Konosuke! Omega sees he has an open path to Callis, but who is this storming down the ramp with a chair?! IT’S PAC!! He CLOBBERS Omega from behind! The Bastard is back and HE is the fifth man!

Pac puts Omega in and Moxley rains down fists! Pac adds stomps while fans boo, but Pac does have his beef with Omega dating back to the early days of AEW. Konosuke kneels by Omega, sits him up, and Callis STOMPS Omega in the face! Fans boo more as the BCC and Callis all soak up the heat. Callis scurries away from Omega and Pac picks up the mic to tell “Kenneth” that he has no idea how long Pac has waited for this. Omega shattered Pac’s nose, and extorted him of the AEW Trios Championships. “LOOK AT ME, KENNY!! I’m the fifth member, and now… You pay the price.” Pac confirms, and Konosuke puts the chair around Omega’s neck!

Pac goes up, Moxley asks Kenny for any last words for his fellow Canadians, “before that smile is ripped off your face permanently?!” Omega says, “Yeah… We still have a fifth man, too. Check the screen. Check the screen, you b*tch!” Everyone looks, and the tron shows Boston, and the words, “HE’S COMING.” AEW Dynamite, Blood & Guts. The double cages lower. And a silhouette moves before we see KOTA IBUSHI!! Fans go nuts seeing the Golden Star’s highlights, and him standing by “The Golden Elite!” And then speaking of, The Young Bucks & Hangman appear! Pac bails as the Bucks DOUBLE SUPERKICK Moxley & Konosuke!

Hangman loads up, DOUBLE BUCK SHOT!! Fans are thunderous as The Elite save Kenny and prepare to add Ibushi! Hangman grabs the mic to say, “This Wednesday, Blood & Guts…! We finish this once and for all.” Fans love the sound of that! Security rushes out to help Callis get away. Omega gets the mic to say, “We may be down, but we’re never out! Next week, Blood & Guts, we’re gonna show you guys it’s more than about fighting, it’s more than about your Killer Jitsu. It’s about heart, passion, soul, friendship, love! People like you consumed with rage, you’ll never prosper. Don Callis, you will never win this battle!”

Fans cheer as Omega promises that when it’s two rings and two cages, the BCC finds out the hard way that a little barbed wire and some skewers in the head are nothing compared to what the Elite will do to them. Then when all five of the BCC’s team are down and out, that’s when Omega’s coming for Callis! So until then, on behalf of The Elite and Ibushi, “Good-bye, MWAH! And good, night, BANG!!” The war for AEW enters the endgame now, but will the Golden Elite be the ones left standing at the end?

My Thoughts:

A great Dynamite with a lot of great go-home vibes for next week’s Blood & Guts special. For one, great stuff going into said Blood & Guts match. After Jericho had a great opener against Komander, he and Callis had a good promo, and it was great to see that moment between Callis & Jericho from way back in the day. And then Callis going out to announce the BCC fifth man, I just knew it’d draw Omega out. Great brawl there, Pac being the BCC’s fifth was a great surprise, and that was some classic supervillain irony from Moxley giving Omega a moment because he thinks victory is assured. Ibushi isn’t a surprise, it felt like he was needed to help end this all along, but great to know that feeling was correct. This B&G is going to be awesome stuff, and I would hope the Elite wins.

Good promo from Hager and Jericho to discus if Jericho is JAS or Don Callis Family. It’s such a silly pro-wrestling thing, but Hager giving back the purple bucket hat was a big move because of how Hager has said time and again that he loves that hat. Assuming Jericho doesn’t join Callis, The Callis Family VS The JAS could be a good first feud for the new faction. After all, Jericho’s whole story in AEW has been about going from faction to faction, fighting other factions, and helping put over the young starts in such factions. Callis having Pac, Konosuke, maybe some names we’ve seen more on ROH, this could be their time as they go against a Face Jericho, Hager, etc.

Ruby VS Skye went pretty much how I figured, but Skye continues to have good showings even in defeat. Athena VS Willow for Rampage is going to be great stuff, and I would think Willow wins to meet Ruby in the finals on Collision this Saturday for classic Heel VS Face dynamic. Ruby VS Willow could go either way, but Willow should mostly beat Athena so they can have a rematch for Death Before Dishonor next week. After all, Willow just lost the NJPW Strong Women’s title, Willow needs something to rebound with. If it isn’t being 2023 Queen of Harts, it should be that she finally ends Athena’s undefeated streak as champ. Then Athena can even show up on AEW programming to be another member of The Outcasts (since that faction is all about being former WWE stars).

Another good bit between Jack Perry and Hook where Jack just runs away. But chances are, the FTW Championship match is made official by Tony Khan for another special summer episode, like the return of Road Rager or Fight for the Fallen. QTV’s segment was good, because Harley Cameron really is legit with her singing and clearly her rapping, but what annoys The Acclaimed is that she’s obnoxious and part of QTV. The Acclaimed will surely have a response, but as I’ve said before, we need to get this feud done sooner rather than later so The Acclaimed can go back after the Trios Championships.

Great stuff out of the Blind Eliminator Tag, but also the main event match. Really good final vignette for Nick Wayne, and great match with Swerve. You can tell they’ve faced before and have great chemistry, but it makes sense Swerve won. Nick is new but he isn’t going to take down a former champion day one. And Swerve screwing over Darby & Cassidy also made sense, this all builds more story between Swerve and Darby. Which seems to be what they’re doing next even though we still never got the Swerve VS Keith blowoff. Sammy & Garcia moving on was also the logical move, they’ve got a dysfunction that can be played on in the finals.

And of course, MJF & Cole practically steal the show. They had a great promo with MJF being all “stud meets jackass” like he is, but then seeing video games as more than just generic nerd stuff. I also like Roddy’s dynamic in this, being the friend who is rightfully wary of MJF because of MJF’s history. Honestly, all of this kinda proves MJF really could be a Face, even if it’s a smug Face that does Eddie Guerrero/Ric Flair cheating. But at the same time, it’d be hard to fill the shoes of how nasty a Heel he can be. The double clothesline thing has to be what oddly makes or breaks things. I don’t see them taking the tag titles, regardless of who wins between FTR and Bullet Club Gold, but at this point, I feel like MJF should only turn on Cole until the lose, not before. MJF’s selfishness and pride will prove Roddy right, and then we get MJF VS Cole for All In or All Out.

My Score: 8.9/10
