There was such promise in the duo of #JungleHook, but now there is only bad blood! The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil doesn’t want to play the cat ‘n’ mouse game anymore, he just wants to fight! Will he get that fight here in Boston? Or will this match truly mark a new chapter for the man once known as Jungle Boy?
Speaking of, Jack drags “Jungle Boy” into the desert and buries him in a shallow grave! Jack then gets a limousine ride into town, embracing “Hollywood” Jack Perry. And now instead of Tarzan Boy, he makes his entrance to Beethoven’s Symphony Number 5! A bit dramatic, don’t you think? The introductions are made, the “outlaw championship” is raised, and we see if Jack comes to regret what he did!

Alex Marvez is on location.
Alex Marvez says he’s on the tail of the hottest story in pro-wrestling! Will Chris Jericho join the Don Callis Family? He heard of a secret meeting, so he wants in on it. Alex has his cameraman watch Jericho and Callis having dinner at a restaurant, but they’re spotted! Security ushers Alex and crew away, what will the future be for Jericho and Callis?
Last night, MJF and Adam Cole met for another bro session.
Max wanted Cole to understand that they are newly founded BFFs. So as much as MJF likes Cole, what’re they doing in a parking lot? Max, it is really important that you face your fears, and that’s spicy food- poor people. What? Well, then both fears? Anyway, it is important that they face these fears as a team. MJF says okay, until he realizes they’re in the parking lot of Boston’s own Kowloon. Cole wants him to go to a Chinese restaurant in Boston?! YES! Now c’mon! MJF begrudgingly steps inside, and he talks about last week’s match, and how he stood in front of 95 THOUSAND “Maximaniacs” all chanting his name, as he took on all 675 pounds of Big Bill!
MJF exaggerates how he scooped and slammed Bill through the ring, and Cole tells him that is not how it went. And Cole knows, because he was in that match! The waiter brings their food: big plates of spicy wings, and a big bowl of rice to share. MJF hopes this isn’t too spicy. Baby steps, Max. OOOH very hot. Cole is handling it better than MJF but the drinks arrive just in time. MJF CHUGS his water. And even the other drink. Cole, too, actually. Such good water. Yes, it’s Boston and the tap water here is disgusting, but that is great water. They call the waiter over. This water tastes funny. No, that is alcohol. WHAT THE-
And so, things get a bit tipsy. MJF retells the story of him against Big Bill, but now there were 99 thousand fans, and Cole stops MJF. MJF’s told this story 8 THOUSAND times, he gets it. But hey, hey! That guy reminds him of Sammy Guevara. Nah, bro, that is a dead ringer for Daniel Garcia. But hey, Cole is proud of MJF for facing his fears. So, as friends, there is one thing left to do. DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE~! They go nuts, and they drunkenly go to double clothesline the waiter!! What state will these two be in when it finally comes time for the Blind Eliminator Tag Tournament Finals?
Alex Marvez continues following Jericho.
“Al Scoops” got another hot tip that Jericho and Callis are arriving right now, so he walks up to a white limousine pulling up. And out steps Callis and Jericho! Alex asks if there’s been a decision made in their partnership. Callis says the only “decision” is that they both think Alex is an idiot. Jericho says “FAT headed idiot.” Security keeps Alex back while Callis & Jericho head into the arena. Will there be a decision announced by the end of the night?
Britt Baker VS Kayla Sparks!
The Doctor may be from the Steel City but she’s more than welcome here in Bean Town! Will Britt get back on track here tonight?
The bell rings and Britt circles with Kayla. They tie up, Britt waistlocks but Kayla elbows free. Kayla whips, Britt ducks ‘n’ dodges and SLINGBLADES! Fans fire up for Britt and she brings out the glove already! Britt spells it out, “D! M! D!” Britt runs in but into a BOOT! Kayla fires up, runs in, but Britt spins her, kicks low, and BUTTERFLY SUPLEXES! Then she reels Kayla back in, FISHERMAN SCREW! And then the RINGS OF SATURN, into the LOCKJAW!! Kayla taps, Britt wins!
Winner: Britt Baker, by submission
All Britt needed was a spark to get back in the win column! Will she fire back up for the Summer and get back to title contention?
Backstage interview with MJF & Adam Cole.
Renee is with the AEW World Champion and his new pal, and she says they are in the finals of the tag tournament against Guevara & Garcia. That means they’re that much closer to becoming AEW World Tag Team Champions. Are either of them surprised at the chemistry they have found? Cole says not at all! They’ve caught lightning in a bottle, and there are now two better than them! They’ll win tonight and go on to become your NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions! Ain’t that right, Max? MJF agrees, they have one plan and that is Plan A: double clothesline, win the tournament.
Unlike Guevara and his “skank wife,” they don’t need Plan B! Then there’s “Danny,” they will dance all over your face, make you look like a disgrace, right here in Bean Town! Because they’re Better Than You, BAYBAY. Which reminds MJF, he got Cole a little something. BRB. MJF goes off screen to then bring over matching trunks! No way! So way! That’s funny, cuz Cole got them something, too. Matching jackets! And on top of that, one more thing. But you gotta wait and see. Aw, c’mon, don’t tease him like that. MJF & Cole head off, and Roderick Strong hurries over. Renee asks what his thoughts are, but he says not right now.
Is Roddy worried MJF is still luring Cole into a trap? Or is he just worried that he’s being replaced
Blind Eliminator Tag Team Tournament Final: MJF & Adam Cole VS Sammy Guevara & Daniel Garcia!
This could be the make or break moment for both these teams! #BetterThanYouBAYBAY have surprisingly meshed together, but it seems the dysfunction between Spanish God & Dragonslayer has only returned. But will that “Plan A” double clothesline work out for MJF & Cole? Or will Sammy & Danny pull together when push comes to shove?
Wait, Chris Jericho makes his entrance now? The Ocho did say he wants to see his proteges fly on their own, so it seems he wants to see that in person. Fans sing Judas as the pyro goes off, and Jericho shouts to cut the music! Fans boo, Jericho flips the fans off, but then Boston keeps singing on their own. And then here comes MJF & Cole as Jericho joins commentary. MJF wonders, though, why is his theme playing twice? Because IT’S A MASH UP!! MJF is so happy and he hugs Cole, but Cole lets it slide because this is a big moment. Fans join in on the “BOOM!” and on the “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” but will Boston get to join in on the celebration?
The teams sort out and fans are thunderous for “DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE!” Garcia steps to the champ, and he stops the ref from signaling the bell, so he can do his dance! MJF says okay, and he gives it right back on Garcia! Garcia still keeps the ref from signaling, and does his dance again! MJF gives it back again! MJF says, “You people wanna see a dance off?!” Fans are torn but MJF’s chant still echoes out, “DANCE OFF! DANCE OFF!” MJF goes out to hit a button, and now disco music plays?! Garcia calls Guevara in, and of course the sports… enner-tay-ners start off. And they do their best Saturday Night Fever even though it’s Wednesday!
Fans boo and MJF gives thumbs down, but it’s not like Sammy and Danny are bad. Sammy reverse wheelbarrows so Danny can flip him up and over! Sammy then spins and does his pose, and Danny slides in to stick his head out under Sammy’s leg? Uh… Okay… MJF pops ‘n’ locks his way and does some air guitar even, before he spins and poses like Sammy. MJF kips up and Cole is completely at a loss for works. But now MJF expects Cole to dance?! Boston wants it, too! Cole gives a little shimmy, shake, thrust, thrust, thrust, but MJF says stop, stop, stop! The music stops, MJF tries to explain to Cole dancing versus that, but then Sammy & Danny CLOBBER them both!
Fans boo, they were just starting to have fun! But Sammy bails out, the bell finally rings, and Garcia drags MJF up into a headlock. MJF endures, fights up, powers out, and drops down. Garcia hops over, but stops when he sees Cole show punch! The ref reprimands Cole, but MJF pokes Garcia in the eyes! The ref reprimands, but then Cole pokes Garcia in the eyes! The ref reprimands Cole, but MJF and Cole pinball Garcia between haymakers! MJF DECKS Garcia and fans fire up! MJF and Cole call for it, and Cole hops in! They double whip, but Sammy saves Garcia! Fans boo as the JAS regroup and rush back up, but into double forearms!
Fans fire up and MJF rallies them. Is MJF really gonna do it? MJF shimmies, shakes, builds speed, and builds speed, and builds speed, but then just poses! Fans cheer and MJF smiles, but then Sammy YANKS Cole down and Garcia CLOBBERS him! Fans boo as Garcia and Sammy put up their dukes. But Garcia says the fans don’t deserve his dance anymore, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Garcia drags MJF up, bumps him off buckles, and then stomps a mudhole in. The ref counts, Garcia flexes while standing on MJF, but then Garcia lets off at 4. Garcia drags MJF from the corner, tags in Sammy, and Sammy stomps MJF now. Sammy stares Cole down, has MJF on the ropes, and kicks the ropes to jam up MJF! Sammy brings MJF up, puts him on the ropes again, and CHOPS! MJF scrambles for his corner but Sammy RAMS him into the JAS corner! Tag to Garcia and he stomps and UPPERCUTS! Cole rallies the fans but Garcia keeps MJF down with a facelock.
MJF endures, fans rally, but Garcia leans his weight on the hold. MJF powers up but Garcia knees him low! And then sucker punches Cole! Garcia soaks up the heat and goes back to MJF for a knee drop! Tag to Sammy as Garcia stands on MJF’s head. The ref reprimands, but Garcia lets off and Sammy brings MJF up. Sammy CHOPS MJF off his feet! Sammy paces around, brings MJF up, and bumps him off buckles. Sammy argues with the ref and Garcia CHOKES MJF! The ref has to keep Cole in now and that just lets the JAS mug MJF! Sammy then brings MJF out of the corner, gives some Latino Heat, and snap suplexes!
Sammy rolls to bring MJF up, and he hits DOS AMIGSO! Dynamite returns to single picture as Sammy leaves MJF down to the corner. Sammy climbs up, but MJF slow rolls away! Sammy hurries to drag MJF away, but MJF pokes him in the eye! MJF scoops, Sammy slips free, and the two collied head to head! Sammy falls, MJF wobbles and flails, but he steadies himself, only to fall on Sammy’s yammy! Fans fire up as both men crawl, hot tag to Garcia and he drags MJF away! MJF BOOTS Garcia away, hot tag to Sammy! Sammy grabs MJF’s legs but MJF BOOTS him away now! So both Sammy & Danny grab a leg!
The JAS drags MJF away, and they call for double clothesline! Only for MJF to dodge it! Hot tag to Cole! Colle dodges Garcia, BOOTS Sammy, ELBOWS Garcia, and then BOOTS Garcia! Fans fire up with Cole and he reels Garcia into a fireman’s carry. Garcia slips free and shoves Cole into Sammy! Sammy falls, Cole uses 52 Fakeout to mule kick Garcia! And SUPERKICK again! Garcia flounders and fans fire up with Cole! Cole goes up the corner, leaps, but Garcia avoids the Sunrise! Garcia dodges Cole to stomp away in the corner! Fans boo, Garcia just dances at the ref! But Cole SUPERKICKS Garcia down again!
Fans fire up as the kneepad comes down! Cole aims, runs, but Sammy CLUBS Cole first! And springboards in, into a SUPERKICK! Fans fire up and MJF is back! Is it time?! Jericho is upset on commentary but everyone shouts “DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE!” Tag to MJF and they drag Sammy up! They double whip Sammy, to DOUBLE- NO, Sammy ducks it, to DOUBLE SPANISH FLY!! Cover on MJF, TWO!! Sammy is furious but he goes up a corner, to SUPER FLYING- NO, MJF catches Sammy to a dragon sleeper! CROSS- NO, Sammy spins it around! They go to ropes, but Cole tags in before the O’Conner Roll!
Sammy has MJF but Cole SUPERKICKS Sammy down! MJF stands and the fans fire up again! MJF & Cole nod, and they drag Sammy up! They double whip but Garcia tags in! Sammy holds ropes, Danny DOUBLE CHOP BLOCKS! Fans boo as Garcia gets the legs! DRAGONTAMER!! Fans boo as Cole endures and reaches out! Danny drags him away! Cole goes to the other side to ROPEBREAK! Garcia lets go to stomp away on Cole’s legs! Fans boo as Garcia runs, but Cole dumps him out onto Sammy! Fans fire up again and MJF returns! Fans fire up as Cole tells MJF to do it for real! MJF is hesitant, but he still builds speed!
MJF stops himself, not ready to face that fear. So Cole SUPERKICKS Sammy and SUPERKICKS Garcia! Cole tells MJF he can do it, and fans are thunderous! MJF is reencouraged, Cole holds the ropes for him, and MJF DIVES!!! Even MJF is shocked by what he pulled off! MJF hurries to get Garcia up and in for Cole, and Cole is up top! PANAMA SUNRISE!! And then he goes to MJF! Fans want it, Cole and MJF shout “DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE!” Tag to MJF, they double whip Garcia, to DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE!!! Cover, MJF & COLE WIN!!
Winners: MJF & Adam Cole, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contenders to the AEW World Tag Team Champions)
Boston erupts in celebration as MJF and Cole win the tournament! But will they finish the sto- er, mission and take those tag titles from FTR?
As for Sammy & Danny, Jericho is there on the ramp to meet them, and he says it’s okay. But Sammy & Danny walk past him? Is this a bad sign of what’s to come for the JAS?
Back to Cole and MJF, Cole is handed the world title, and he means to hand it to MJF, but he looks at it longingly. MJF sees that, and gets offended! He snatches the belt from Cole and asks what the hell! Cole defends it meant nothing, and they can both get the tag titles. Fans chant “HUG IT OUT!” and MJF sees that’s right, it’s on him. They hug, but MJF then looks at Cole with some worry. Will these two stay on course until- Wait! Here comes Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood! FTR are here and heading down the ramp towards their next challengers. All four men stare down and talk some trash while fans lose their minds.
Fans chant “This is Awesome!” as they get to see a preview of Collision on the 29th. MJF says he can’t wait, but will he and Cole prove they are the top guys in AEW? Or will FTR prove they are better than a thrown-together team, and you know it?
Backstage interview with Best Friends, as well as Darby Allin & Nick Wayne.
Renee is with Trent Beretta, Chuck Taylor, Orange Cassidy, Kris Statlander, and the Relentless Icon with his young protégé. She says there is a lot of action happening here! First, Statlander’s TBS Championship is on the line for Rampage against Marina Shafir. Second, Trent & Chuck are going to challenge The Lucha Brothers for the ROH World Tag Team Championships at Death Before Dishonor, also this Friday. And then a rare night off for Cassidy and his International Championship. But then to Darby & Nick, they will be in the Royal Rampage, the winner getting a shot at the AEW TNT Championship at All Out 2023.
Renee knows how much the TNT title means to Darby, so what would it mean to have that title back? Well, y’know who else is in that match? Swerve Strickland. Swerve’s wanted Darby’s attention and now he’s got it. Darby vows to win the whole damn thing. But quick question for Orange. Darby has an old friend that he owes a favor to, and he’s not asking for a handout. But without him, Darby wouldn’t be here. He took Darby in when he was homeless, and that man is AR Fox. How about Cassidy gives Fox a shot? Yeah, Darby, they’re cool. He’ll uh, give Fox that shot. Cool. In that case, next week on Dynamite, Cassidy VS Fox for the International Championship!
Sweet. Hands in, everybody. Darby and Nick choose not to, but Renee joins in. One, two, three, “Back to you guys!”

Konosuke DECKS Ibushi, CHOPS Omega, and then runs, into a DOUBLE KICK COMBO! And they get the arms! GOLDEN- NO, Pac & Claudio save Konosuke!

The teams all crawl and regroup, tacks and broken glass in backs. Fans hope they “FIGHT FOREVER!” but this has to end somehow. The BCC are in the red ring, the Golden Elite are in the black ring. The ten men stand, and they all stare down. Fans are thunderous, and the brawl is on in No Man’s Land!!

Ibushi, Nick and Omega keep Claudio down and Moxley is cuffed! Matt helps Hangman CHOKE Yuta, and he’s fading out! MOXLEY SURRENDERS!!! The Golden Elite win!!
Winners: The Golden Elite, by surrender
It’s over! It’s finally over! Omega was proven right that heart, passion, soul, friendship and love win out over hate and anger! That is why the BCC’s team fell apart while the Golden Elite stuck it out. Though it is perhaps ironic that after all the blood, sweat, thumbtacks and shards of glass, it was Moxley’s concern for Yuta is what broke him in the end. Will the BCC start to see things The Elite’s way? What will be next for both factions now that the war is over?
My Thoughts:
A really wild night for Dynamite, though obviously mostly based off the Blood & Guts main event. That was without a doubt the most insane B&G, the most insane 10 Man Tag, the most insane anything all year and perhaps the last several years. It went the entire second hour, and even then technically went over the two hour block. The one scary moment was Ibushi doing the standing moonsault onto Moxley and the bed of nails, and then Ibushi clutches his wrist. I thought he nicked it on a nail and would need to be rushed outta there to close up the artery or something, but thankfully he was fine.
And in the end, I figured The Elite would win, but nice detail that Pac and Konosuke ditched the team, and that Moxley was the one to say enough, all so Yuta wouldn’t suffocate. I don’t know if the BCC will ever turn back to Faces, but the seeds were planted since Moxley isn’t a complete psycho. And as for The Elite, with Ibushi in AEW, maybe we see the Golden Lovers go for some gold together, Hangman & Bucks try for Trios titles, something big like that so that they can truly be the Golden Elite.
Speaking of gold, lots of big news for this big wrestling weekend (mostly Friday the 21st). Kris Statlander defends her TBS title, that’ll be a good defense against Marina Shafir. Cassidy VS Fox for next week, that’ll be great. Royal Rampage being for a shot at the TNT title at All Out in September, who knows who wins that. Though, I feel like Darby mentioning Swerve already cancels him out so that Darby, Nick Wayne and who knows who else take on The Mogul Embassy in full at All Out. The disappointing news is that Best Friends get a tag title match with Lucha Brothers. Not because it’ll be a bad match, no, because both teams are great. But we’ve barely seen Lucha Brothers or Best Friends on ROH TV lately, and it should’ve been The Kingdom, not Trent & Chuck.
Good squash win for Britt, but I was really expecting her to call someone out or be called out, or even just give us a silent stare down with someone. Really fun FTW Championship to open the night, and nice little cinematic where Jack Perry quite literally “buries” his old gimmick. I really do mean it when I said Beethoven’s Fifth doesn’t really fit Jack Perry at all, I was thinking he’d get some kind of 90s grunge to replace his 80s pop rock, but I guess AEW can’t keep throwing around money at hit songs. But of course Jack cheats to get the title, this is going to be a very telling next phase for both young guys in telling story with character, not just actions.
And of course, a lot of great story intermingling with the Blind Eliminator Tag Tournament Final. Alex Marvez could neither confirm nor deny Jericho joining up with Don Callis, and that naturally affects how Guevara & Garcia feel about Jericho. The “bro time” promo from MJF & Cole was hilarious stuff, probably their best yet, and nice detail that Roddy is being left out of things. The little dance battle was rather silly, but also great stuff, as MJF was legit in there and then Cole just starts bumpin’ & grindin’ the air in a much more obvious way than Garcia does. MJF & Cole winning was the right choice for many reasons, and nice little seed of dysfunction planted as MJF misunderstands Cole holding the belt. MJF & Cole VS FTR is going to be great stuff, but it still feels like things break down and MJF VS Cole is our AEW World Championship match at All Out.
My Score: 9/10

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

Willow flops to the floor, but the lights go out!
Hayter looks around in a bit of a panic, was that Julia Hart teasing something? After all, Hart’s been calling her out lately. Willow uses the distraction to RAM Hayter into the apron! Willow then climbs up, and the fans fire up as Willow runs, CANNONBALL to the floor! The fans fire up with Willow while Collision goes picture in picture.
Willow drags Hayter up, puts her in the ring, but Hayter bails out the side. Willow is annoyed and goes out after her to stand her up. Willow CHOPS Hayter against the apron! But Hayter turns things around and CHOPS Willow against the apron! Willow fires hands, RAMS Hayter into the railing, then RAMS her into the apron! Willow RAMS Hayter back into the railing, and then throws Hayter into the ring. Hayter still bails out the side! Willow is annoyed again but she still goes after Hayter. Willow brings Hayter up and reels her in, but Hayter fights the suplex! Hayter then suplexes Willow to the floor!
Willow writhes but Hayter crawls away to roll into the ring. The ring count is past 5 of 10 but Willow rolls in at 7. Willow drags Hayter up, RAMS her into a corner, then goes up the corner.

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

Okada clutches his neck and the fans fire up for Mortos. Mortos eggs Okada on, scoops him, BACKBREAKER! Okada staggers around, into another BACKBREAKER! Okada hobbles, Mortos scoops again, torture rack! The fans fire up for the BEAST BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO!!

AEW shares more footage from after Dynamite.
Reporters caught up with Mariah May to ask her about the return of Toni Storm, and Mariah said she DGAF! What happened to Toni is the same thing that happened to Mina, and it will be the same thing that happens to Thunder Rosa. Every single woman Mariah steps in the ring with has their hopes and dreams, and then they wish they were never born. Mina should just go back to modeling, because her wrestling career as she knows it is over. Mariah didn’t want to do that to Mina, she still loves Mina. But this is just what Mariah does, and will continue to do to any girl that wants to breathe the same air as her. No one can handle the Woman from Hell.
Rosa can go and yell about whatever bat s*it crazy BS she wants, Rosa just needs to name a time and place for Mariah to end her career! As for every other woman in AEW, or any other company, you all have the same dream. But there is only one reality. The Glamour has spoken, but will it fall on deaf ears?
Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa.
Tony Schiavone is with La Mera Mera and brings up Mariah’s comments. Rosa says time and place? March 16th, 2022, San Antonio, Texas, the time and place Rosa won the AEW Women’s World Championship and knew what she was made of. But it doesn’t matter who you ae when you hold the title! What matters is who you are when you aren’t. And Rosa knows in her heart that she is THE champion, for the people and for all of Women’s Wrestling! And that is something Mariah cannot say! And Mariah is cleaning up a mess with her ex-bestie, Toni Storm, but Rosa has a place reserved for Mariah in Hell!
Speaking of Toni Storm, she walks in and says hello, nice to meet everyone. Oh, sorry, she didn’t mean to interrupt. Hi, she’s Toni Storm, she just wanted to introduce herself. They shake hands and Storm says it is a pleasure to meet Thunder Rosa, as well as the living legend, Tony Schiavone. Okay, sorry, she’ll let you all get back to what you were doing. Rock on! Toni heads out and Rosa lets that… odd interaction go. Rosa tells Mariah that in two weeks, her father will be in the audience to see his daughter fight. And she told him to bring a handful of dirt from the graveyards of Tijuana to remind Rosa where she comes from, and where she’s taking Mariah.
So it will be December 28th, 2024, Worlds End! Rosa VS Mariah for the AEW Women’s World Championship, in a TIJUANA STREET FIGHT!! La Mera Mera has spoken, will she bury Mariah in the gave Mariah has dug for herself?

Will the TNT Champion, Freshly Squeezed, the Commander of the Skies and the Youngest Men Alive build up some momentum for the holidays? Or will they get dunked on by Mansoor, Mason Madden, Tony Nese, Josh Woods & Ariya Daivari?
Well of course “Smart” Mark has to take over the introductions. And he says that the Premier Athletes have decided to “let the losers of St. Louis,” and of course these “model citizens,” join in on the pregame cheer. So when they say “Athletes,” you say “Rule,” nothing else! Hands in, boys. Oh, and they would be honored for MXM to put the tips in. Mansoor & Maxon put on finger protection before joining in.

The team celebrates, that was a Freshly Squeezed victory! But while this was a big win and a lot of fun, it is time to focus on Worlds End. Will Garcia make his way out of the league to head for the Continental Championship? Will Cassidy overcome the Fatal 4 Way odds to finally be THE AEW World Champion?
Don Callis speaks.
“I had a bad night last night. A couple of turncoats who used to be under my employ, ‘Powerhouse’ Hobbs and Mark Davis, did a little switcharoo, a little number on the Don Callis Family. I woke up today with a hole in my heart because of that, but then I got fantastic news. The gods have smiled upon me because I am getting, in two week’s time, at Worlds End, I am getting my revenge on Powerhouse Hobbs. That’s right, a match against the Alpha, Konosuke Takeshita, has been granted. And it’s in two weeks at Worlds End, and I can’t wait.
‘If you thought everything was coming up the Don Callis Family, I’ve got one more thing to be excited about! Kyle Fletcher is getting ready right now to be in the main event tonight! And run the table and mathematically ensure that he goes on to Worlds End and then wins the Continental Championship, when he beats that degenerate, Mark Briscoe tonight on Collision. That is why the Don Callis Family is the true one percenters of professional wrestling. And you’re gonna see it tonight, and you’re gonna see it at Worlds End. And Hobbs, I’m gonna send you right back to the unemployment line.” Callis has made his promises, but will Konosuke and Kyle be able to keep them?
AEW Continental Classic, Blue League: Kyle Fletcher VS Mark Briscoe!

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

Toni Storm VS Harley Cameron!
For the first time in FOUR MONTHS, the former AEW Women’s World Champion is back in AEW, and she’s back as her original form. Will Toni still be victorious even though she’s no longer Timeless? Or will Harley prove she’s Gold Coast, Australia’s best wrestler now?

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