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!”

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

And she TOSSES Kris! Thekla runs up, DOUBLE SPEAR on Hayter & Harley! The fans boo but Kris drags Mone out, and SLAMS the door shut on Megan!

Kris ROCKS Mone first, and fireman’s carries from up there! SAMOAN DROP down through the belt display table!! The fans are thunderous for “A E DUB!

Thekla has returned, and the entire Triangle of Madness stretches Toni while making her watch! SAYANAGI for Mina into the glass! And then MOTHER’S MILK!!! And BELT LASHING!!

Winners: Team Mone, by surrender
But then Team Mone doesn’t care, they mug Toni! Megan, Marina & The Triangle of Madness all smile sinister smiles. They mug Mina & Toni some more just because they can, but the refs get them to back off. Has this violent victory already decided who will win in the AEW Women’s Tag Team Championship Tournament? Or can both the Babes with the Wrath and the Timeless Love Bombs find a way to turn the tides?
The Don Callis Family attacks Jurassic Express!
Lance Archer, Hechicero, Mark Davis & Josh Alexander throw hands with Jack Perry & Luchasaurus, until Davis THROWS Jack Perry into railing!

Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He welcomes us back to the show, and says tonight means so much, especially to him personally. The Greensboro First Horizon Coliseum is perhaps the greatest pro-wrestling venue in the entire world, and he thanks all the fans for being here over the years. So many great events he has witnessed for many man years, this would not be complete without one of the men who made this such a great venue, and who made wrestling on TBS so great. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome out Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat! The fans cheer as the living legend is here! Steamboat high-fives fans, then goes to the ring to join Schiavone.
Schiavone says in April of 1978, he was here as a fan when Steamboat and Paul Jones become World Tag Team Champions. Steamboat and Dusty Rhodes were even tag team champions in 1991 right here on TBS. This, ladies and gentlemen, is quite the honor. Steamboat says big shoutout to TBS, responsible for airing all this so everyone can have their moment. Shoutout to that board over there: Mount Rushmore of Greensboro – Flair, Steamboat, Dusty and Sting! The fans cheer that! And Steamboat knows we all know what he’d have to say his number one nemesis, Ric Flair. The fans “WOO~!” for The Nature Boy.
Well, Steamboat and Flair faced off in what was Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling in the Carolinas. Steamboat was just 16 months into this business, and Flair went to Jim Crockett talking about him. Flair said he liked what he saw and wanted to do something with Steamboat. Well- Wait, FTR is interrupting?! The fans boo as Dax Harwood, Cash Wheeler & Stokely Hathaway mockingly applaud. Steamboat says he knows those guys. Dax & Cash step into the ring, shakes Steamboat’s hand, and Steamboat says hold on, a quick mention. A few years back, they worked together, and Steamboat saw a bit back then what’s come to fruition today.
Steamboat sees them climbing the ladder, making it up. Stoke says he can’t believe he is standing in the ring with a legend! Now, Ricky, you know FTR, the greatest tag team alive today. The fans boo, Stoke says he’s just trying to introduce himself! Stoke gives his introductions, #BigStoke, and no he is not Denzel Washington. But Ricky, you are synonymous with pro-wrestling. The fans tell Stoke to STFU and Steamboat kinda teases Stoke on his height. Stoke says Steamboat has a lot of history in this building. But ironically, next Saturday, November 22nd, live on PPV, Newark, New Jersey, FTR makes history by becoming THREE-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions!
Stoke says it’d be an honor to have his favorite pro-wrestler front row and there live. Does Steamboat know Macho Man’s number? Haven’t seen Savage on TikTok. The fans boo that offensive joke and Cash takes the mic. Cash asks Ricky to calm down, Stoke can be “feisty” sometimes. But Ricky knows the respect FTR holds for him. In fact, for those who don’t know, it was back in 2022 that FTR was handpicked by Ricky to be in his last ever match! Yes, handpicked by The Dragon himself! Because not only does Ricky know they’re living legends, but modern day miracle workers! If anybody is gonna make Ricky look like even a shell of his former self, it’s FTR!
The fans boo more as the backhanded compliments continue. Dax takes a mic to say hold on now, hold on. Ricky, Dax has learned so much from you. Not sure if it’s common knowledge, but 13 years ago, Ricky was Dax’s trainer. He took Dax under his wing, it was such a blessing. Dax learned so much. He learned… Uh, Ricky taught him… Hmm, hold on. Damn, now that Dax thinks about it, Ricky never said one intelligent thing in his entire life. Oh, oh, wait! There is one thing! Ricky says yeah, one thing he didn’t teach Dax is that his attitude’s gone in the toilet! The fans cheer that! Dax says hey, he’s talking.
And the one thing Ricky did teach Dax is perhaps the biggest piece of advice Dax ever got: “Kid, it doesn’t matter how much you make, make sure you save your money.” And in 2025, that has never been more evidence. If Ricky had taken his own advance, he wouldn’t need to be here tonight! The fans boo, but Dax continues by saying, “Who would’ve thought at 2012, we’d be standing in the ring on TBS live? And when you were teaching me, who would’ve thought that I would’ve been a bigger legend than you ever were?” The fans boo more, Ricky tries not to get mad, but then he gets in Dax’s face!
The fans cheer but Dax dares Ricky to do something, old man! Ricky shoves Dax! Stoke says watch it, Ricky! Ricky then says time out, time out. Dax backs off, Cash tells Ricky to leave FTR’s ring. Greensboro cheers Ricky on, Dax tells Ricky to leave, but Ricky says hold on. Ricky grabs the mic again to say, “Going back a few years, I’d tell both of you to kiss my ass.” The fans cheer that! “But… Sometimes, discretion is the better part of valor. Sometimes, when you realize that I’m gonna be 73… I’m not asking or begging for any kind of sorrow or forgiveness, but I’m just gonna be the smarter man today.”
Ricky does step aside, Dax sarcastically says to give it up for The Dragon, and then FTR mugs Ricky anyway! The fans boo and they reel Ricky in! But then Brodido is here! The fans cheer as Brody King & Bandido fire hands with FTR! Bandido has Cash, Brody has Dax, and Brody RIPS Dax’s shirt off to CHOP! Then Brody CHOPS Cash! Bandido SUPERKICKS Cash, Brody ROCKS Cash, and Cash ends up on the ropes! Bandido deals the cards, BLACKJACK 21 for Cash! Brody adds a LARIAT to send Cash up and out! Dax staggers to his feet, Ricky DECKS him! And DECKS him! And SHOTEIS! Ricky’s still got the hands!
Brody scoops Dax, but Stokely YANKS Dax to safety! The fans boo but Brody & Bandido DROPKICK FTR back down! FTR is in retreat while Brodido stands tall with Ricky! Will FTR regret picking on another legend? Or will they find a way to take those tag titles for a third time?
BREAKING NEWS for next week!
With Full Gear on Saturday, November 22nd, AEW in Boston will be a THREE HOUR SUPERSHOW! Two hours of Dynamite, one hour of Collision, but always All Elite Wrestling! And as such, Hangman Page still has scores to settle with The Opps! The Cowboy already took care of Will Hobbs, will he handle Katsuyori Shibata next?

The fans boo but Garcia & Yuta soak up that heat.

Then Claudio SMACKS Kyle with a chair! Kyle writhes while Moxley goes back to Roddy.
Garcia puts Kyle in a corner while Moxley parades Roddy around for the fans to see, and Dynamite goes to break.

The final countdown is here, but Darby ROOTFOP COFFIN DROPS onto everyone!! Naturally, last for The Death Riders is The Bastard, Pac! He is in no hurry, the advantage is 5v4 now.

The fans boo but Moxley sits Darby up so Yuta can BITE Darby’s forehead! There are tables in corners, Moxley soaks up heat, and the mugging continues. In a way, they’re just toying with The Conglomeration as Pac builds speed to LARIAT Darby inside-out! The fans boo, but wait! Briscoe is still making his way out here!?
The fans cheer as Briscoe is gonna #ManUp, and he’s bringing a chair, a toolbox, and some bolt cutters! Briscoe cuts right through that padlock! Yuta hurries over but Briscoe SLAMS the door shut on him! He then dodges a chairshot to CHUCK his chair at Garcia! Briscoe dodges Claudio, fires off on Pac, then dodges Claudio! Claudio’s UPPERCUT hits Pac! Briscoe FLYING FOREARMS Claudio, and Claudio falls onto the shards of glass! Moxley JAMS Briscoe with the bat! And TOSSES him to the apron! But Briscoe is right back up, right back out, and he gets the toolbox! Briscoe TOSSES the box in, then he fires haymakers on Yuta!
Briscoe ROCKS Yuta, The Conglomeration makes a comeback, and Briscoe gives Yuta a snap suplex to the floor! The fans fire up as Cassidy opens the toolbox! Roddy fires hands on Moxley, Kyle brawls with Garcia, and Cassidy brings out a WRENCH! He CLOBBERS Pac with it in the corner! Roddy uses a chain to rain down FULL METAL FISTS on Moxley in the corner!

Briscoe climbs up the cage, and he reaches the very top! The fans are fired up but also really worried! Briscoe looks down, but Garcia flops off the table! Garcia wags his finger, but then Kyle grabs that hand for an ARMBAR!! The fans are thunderous, and wait, YUTA has gone up after Briscoe?!

Briscoe then reveals he has a rope and a hook!? Briscoe sends that down to Kyle, and Kyle hooks it to a chair! Briscoe is fishing for chairs!
Briscoe reels in a big haul and the fans love it! Uh oh, they’re kinda stuck. Briscoe wrangles the chairs and the fans cheer again! But Yuta manages to grab one for his own!

Yuta has to be careful up top as he walks over to Briscoe. He HAMMERS away on Briscoe while The Death Riders mug Cassidy and Darby. Again, The Death Riders seem to be more toying and torturing The Conglomeration rather than going for a win. Kyle KICKS and KICKS and KICKS away on Garcia & Moxley, where is he getting this energy?! But then Moxley trips Kyle, drags him around, and HIP DROPS the leg! Then Garcia CHOKES Kyle with the chain!
Blood & Guts is once again single picture as Yuta parades around a bloodied Briscoe. Yuta ROCKS Briscoe, ROCKS him again, and then reels him in! Yuta underhooks the arms and the fans boo.

Darby BOOTS Gabe off the ladder, but Pac BOOTS Darby! The fans boo but now Gabe goes to fetch something more? Gabe returns, and he has LIGHTER FLUID!! Gabe drenches the tables, and even Moxley can’t believe what is about to happen! Gabe ignites the tables!! Pac drags Darby up to THROW him down through the burning tables!!! The staff hurries to extinguish Darby and the fans are losing their minds!
Gabe grins and The Death Riders are loving this! They continue to mug and pick on The Conglomeration, PARADIGM SHIFT onto Kyle! Then a BULLY CHOKE!! WITH A CHAIN!!

Winners: Darby Allin, Roderick Strong & The Conglomeration, by submission
Incredible! Blood was spilt, but the team with more guts wins out in the end! Is this the end of the war with the Death Riders? Will Darby be alright after quite literally crashing and burning?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Blood & Guts special for Dynamite, but AEW continues to really push the envelope. Skye Blue may have overdone her blading there but maybe not since it didn’t affect her part in the match. And with Blake Monroe referencing her time as Mariah May, it was nice to see Toni Storm doing a similar callback with the glass on the fist. Weaponizing all of Mone’s belts was really clever, and Stat taking Mone and herself out with the table spot was good stuff. Using Mina’s suffering against Toni was a very clever move, and the Heels winning perhaps indicates a Face team winning the tag titles. Willow & Harley VS Julia & Skye, Toni & Mina VS Megan & Marina, those are going to be great matches, can’t wait to see how they turn out.
The reason this show was 2.5 hours was so they could also do Hangman VS Hobbs, which was still a great match anyway. Hobbs falling off a ledge to fall through the “electrical equipment” was an awesome way to finish that match. Joe & Shibata attacking after should’ve been obvious, and good save from Hook & Eddie. Escalating Hangman VS Joe at Full Gear into a Steel Cage match is great stuff, but I get this feeling that Hook will choose that moment to turn on Hangman and rejoin The Opps, and I can’t even be sure why. Hangman VS Shibata for the big go-home episode next week will be great stuff, too.
Throwing in that Don Callis Family attack on Jurassic Express was also good stuff, it really adds a little more to the Full Gear build. But surely The Bucks accept their Callis Family membership next week, if only because of peer pressure. Turning on Callis Family before Full Gear would do away with the Million Dollar match, but The Bucks could always grow a conscience during the match and betray the Don Callis Family then. The FTR promo with Ricky Steamboat left a lot to be desired. Granted, Ric Flair apparently left early, his injured rotator cuff was too painful to do much with. So that means the whole segment was rewritten last minute, giving a valid excuse to why Steamboat wasn’t sure what to say and how. But Brodido of course made a save, great stuff for them.
The Men’s Blood & Guts was also wild stuff, but they really had a lot to live up to with just how innovative the women were in their match. I still like the idea of fishing chairs, and the story overlap where DCF mugs Briscoe to put some doubt into the outcome. Gabe showing up was a surprise, and I guess he was needed to pull off that burning table spot, but they still could’ve done that with the Death Riders they had on hand. Gabe says he’s NJPW for life but then why’s he over here in AEW? Is he going to do some Continental Classic matches and maybe be part of World’s End before WrestleKingdom in January?
As for the finish, Cassidy hulking out of his hands stapled to his pants was wild, and the comeback from The Conglomeration was great. Interesting how the teams with advantage won out in both cases. But even then, they can do some compelling stuff with The Death Riders after this. Perhaps Moxley’s leadership will be in question when he’s the one who gave up, again. And what of that tease where the Death Riders would fight Don Callis Family? Is that not the case with how Briscoe and Fletcher will be facing off at Full Gear? Will we get even more Conglomeration VS Callis Family shenanigans going into the holidays?
My Score: 9.1/10

AEW shares a post-Dynamite backstage interview with Kyle Fletcher.
Renee Paquette is with The Protostar and brings up that it was decided that Kyle Fletcher VS Mark Briscoe Round 6 would be for the TNT title, but if Briscoe loses, he MUST join the Don Callis Family. But Kyle’s title is still on the line in a No Disqualifications match. Why was Kyle so quick, and even pleased, to jump on this opportunity? Kyle says he was excited. But the more he thinks about it, maybe he should be concerned. The deck is stacked against him as he faces Briscoe, “a deranged human being” in a No DQ match where Briscoe could literally do anything to him. Briscoe might win the title!
But even if Briscoe loses, he still wins because he has the honor of joining The Don Callis Family, literally the best thing that’s ever happened to Kyle! Oh, speaking of the Family, Kazuchika Okada steps in. Kyle says great to see Okada, and Okada says he is sorry that Konosuke Takeshita wasn’t here to support Fletcher. But Okada is! Because Okada and Fletcher are basically the captains of the Don Callis Family. And after Full Gear, when Fletcher beats Briscoe, they will both still be champions. They will be the #PROTOKADA! Kyle thinks about how that sounds. Not bad, really.
Is Okada really going to replace Takeshita as Fletcher’s tag partner? Is Fletcher already looking past the title match made for tonight on Collision?
AEW TNT Championship: Kyle Fletcher VS Ace Austin!
Collision returns as the Aussie Arrow makes his entrance, followed by the Bang Bang Gang’s third man. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see is a new champion is Inevitable!
The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, Fletcher powers Austin to the ropes, then backs off as the ref counts. Austin and Fletcher reset, feel things out, and knuckle lock. Austin kicks and wrenches to headlock. Fletcher endures the grind, wrenches out, and ELBOW BREAKERS! Then he powers on a wristlock, but Austin rolls, handsprings, only for Fletcher to wrangle him. Fletcher has the cording hold but the fans boo. Austin fights up, slips around, and waistlocks. Fletcher switches, then he SLAMS Austin down! Fletcher flexes and the fans are torn, but Austin goes to a corner. The fans rally for “ACE! ACE! ACE!” and he resets with Kyle.
The two circle, tie up, and Ace headlocks. Kyle powers up and out, RUNS Ace over, and keeps moving. Austin stays low, then hurdles, but Fletcher blocks the hip toss. Austin ducks the lariat to wrench and arm-drag! Fletcher runs up, but into a headlock takeover. Austin traps an arm, turns Kyle for a ghost pin, TWO! Fletcher scrambles and Austin says it was that close. The fans cheer but Kyle frowns. The two reset, circle, but then Fletcher bails out. The fans boo but Fletcher lets the ring count climb. Fletcher then talks trash on the fans before he tells Austin to back off. Austin steps back, Fletcher steps in, and the two circle.
Fletcher BOOST Austin right down! The fans are torn but Fletcher dusts himself off. Austin rises up, Fletcher clamps on with a facelock, but Austin wrenches out to drop toehold and KICK!

Then Austin whips corner to corner, runs in, but Fletcher puts him on the apron. Austin RAMS Fletcher, springboards, but Fletcher catches him! SWINGING BACKBREAKER, then a FULL NELSON SLAM! The fans are torn but Fletcher smirks. Fletcher soaks up cheers and jeers on the corner while Collision goes picture in picture.

ACE!” Fletcher then stalks Austin to the ropes, and he STOMPS Austin down! Austin goes to a corner, Fletcher stomps him again, and again, and again! Fletcher digs his boots in, the ref counts, and Fletcher backs off. Fletcher grins while Austin sputters in the corner. Austin drags himself up with the ropes but Fletcher is right on him. The ref reprimands as Fletcher winds up and CHOPS! Austin sputters again, Fletcher taunts the fans, and Fletcher stands Austin up in a corner while Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Fletcher has Austin a chinlock. Austin endures, the fans rally up, but Fletcher grinds Austin down.

Corner to corner, GAMANGIRI!!

Winner: Kyle Fletcher, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
Ace Austin gave Fletcher a run for his money, but The Protostar is still the Face of TNT! But will that still be the case in just two weeks? Or will the Sussex County Chicken use everything he has to dethrone Fletcher once and for all?
Kris Statlander speaks.
“Mercedes, you have a lot that I will never have. More success, more accolades, more confidence, and more legacy than any woman in wrestling history. But there is one thing… Well, maybe two…. that I have and you don’t. Focus. I have complete and total focus on being THE AEW Women’s World Champion, and you don’t. If you think this is just some other side piece you can scribble on a cake or have a nameless male bimbo you can carry behind you, than you would be wrong in the most extraordinary of ways. You were eliminated from the tag tournament because you were not focused on me.
“And now I will follow you into Blood & Guts, and I will go through whoever I have to until you are focused on me! And then, at Full Gear, one year after we fought for the very first time, in a completely different world… Your focus will be full, your vision will be clear, and it still won’t make a difference.” The Galaxy’s Greatest has warned The CEO, but will she make Mone understand with actions? Or will that Money Train just continue full steam ahead towards more gold?
AEW shares more post-Dynamite footage.
Jon Moxley walked with the Death Riders and said, “We should just give them the advantage at Blood & Guts as a courtesy. They’re weak, they’re hurt, they’re tired, and deciding match three, this is already in the bag.” But then Don Callis is there. The Jackal has them all calm down, and says that they’ve all successfully stayed out of each other’s business for some time to mutual benefit. And on the subject of that, Fletcher has a very high stakes match with Mark Briscoe at Full Gear. Callis knows that Briscoe is part of The Conglomeration team going against them at Blood & Guts, and Callis is just saying that he’s very happy when he thinks about what they could do to him.
Pac tells Callis that everybody knows The Death Riders are done playing games. In Greensboro, North Carolina, they leave five bodies in that cage. So whatever Callis chooses to do with what’s left of Briscoe, that’s his prerogative. They couldn’t give a piss. Callis says he loves the sound of that. And if that were to be the case, which he is pretty sure it will, he’d owe them a tremendous favor. Anything they want! Moxley steps up, leans in, and tells Callis, “Do we look like we need a favor from anybody?” Callis is twitchy given the scar Moxley left on him from a long time ago, so he stays quiet. The Death Riders leave, though Claudio does give a glance at the TNT title.
Fletcher says that went well. Will The Death Riders dismantle Darby & The Conglomeration? Will The Don Callis Family be next?
TayJay VS Maya World & Hyan!
The Blackbelt Beauty & The Queenslayer know they’ve got a Problem and a Megasus in their way on the road to the AEW Women’s Tag Team Championships, but they aren’t worried. Will the long time dynamic duo be more than ready for Marina & Megan? Or are they underestimating #ThatGirl & The Renaissance Woman?
The teams sort out and Tay Melo starts against Maya. They circle, tie up, and the fans rally. Tay headlocks, Maya powers up to wrench free. Tay wrenches back and waistlocks, then GERMAN SUPLEXES! Tay runs up, but Maya dodges the boot to roll Tay! Tay rolls through and DECKS Maya! Maya flounders to the corner, Tay tags Anna, and the fans rally as Anna ROCKS Maya again and again! Anna snapmares Maya, Tay joins in, PENALTY KICK to a NECK SNAPPER! Cover, Hyan breaks it just in time! Tay CLUBS and THROWS Hyan, then she and Anna do the secret handshake before a DOUBLE BOOTY BUMP!
The fans cheer and Maya sputters. Anna drags her up, Maya JAWBREAKERS free! Hot Tag to Hyan! The fans fire up but then Anna ROCKS Hyan! Anna whips Hyan to the corner, ELBOWS her, and tags Tay. Tay runs to BLAST Maya, then she returns to BOOT Hyan! Tag to Anna and Tay sends her in for a LEG LARIAT! Hyan sputters, Anna lifts Hyan into the Gory Especial! TAY-K-O 2.0! Cover, TayJay wins!

Backstage interview with Athena.
Former Minion Bestie, Lexy Nair, is with the ROH Women’s World Champion, and brings up how Athena and Mone were eliminated from the AEW Women’s Tag Team Championship tournament. Now Athena will defend her title against Harley Cameron- Athena stops Lexy there. Does Lexy even remember who she is? HMM!? Lexy runs through the nicknames very quickly: The Fallen Goddess, the Minion Overlord, the Forever ROH Champion, Athena. YES, the FOREVER ROH Champion! So then, why doesn’t Athena feel like she’s the Forever Champion?! She’ll tell you why! It’s because for only the fifth time in five YEARS, Athena got pinned.
And this one hurts the most, because it was that evil little puppeteer, Harley Cameron. And y’know what? Harley must feel special, very special, but she’s not! If Kris Statlander didn’t poke her nose in Athena’s business, if Billie Starkz could just do the right thing for once, and if Mercedes Mone would’ve had Athena’s back like Athena had hers, Athena would NOT be in this predicament, which is her doubting herself. So if Harley Cameron, by some miracle, survives Blood & Guts, she’ll realize that Athena doesn’t need five other people by her side, or a cage, or the weapons, to beat the CRAP out of her!
Athena promises to do it not for her minions, not for anyone that she genuinely cares about. She does this for her. And then she will make Harley Cameron a little puppet for MIT. What’s Lexy think about that? Yes, Minion Overlord. That’s right. Put some pep in your step next time. Athena storms off, but will she still be the ROH Women’s World Champion then, now, and forever? Or will she #FeelTheWarth of Harley Cameron on ROH TV?

Backstage interview with #JetSpeed.
Lexy is now with Kevin Knight & Mike Bailey to bring up their part in FTR losing to the Bang Bang Gang earlier tonight, but also that they have an announcement to make. Bailey says yes, but he wants to make it clear that it is far from over between them, FTR, and “Little Strokely.” But while FTR’s busy challenging for the AEW World Tag Team Championships at Full Gear, Bailey & Knight aren’t the kind to sit by and watch. Knight agrees, they are not. So at Full Gear, there is the Casino Gauntlet Match to crown the first-ever AEW National Champion, and JetSpeed as fly as they are, they’re putting their names in the hat, then throw that hat into the ring.
Then it is official, they’re both in the gauntlet? Yes, and that doubles their chances of winning. If it comes down to just the two of them, may the best man win. They shake on it, but will JetSpeed be 2Fly2Stop now that they’re going Full Gear?
Backstage interview with Max Caster & Anthony Bowens.
Collision returns as Lexy is now with Platinum Max & The 5 Tool Player. Despite being on the same team again last week, they ended up literally fighting each other. But it is apparent Bowens has something to say to Caster? Yes, and Bowens wanted everyone to hear it: The Acclaimed is NEVER coming back, it is done! They tried as a favor to Jerry Lynn, but it is clearly not working and Bowens is sick of it. He’s over it! Bowens’ first step forward, the opportunity in his home state of New Jersey during Tailgate Brawl! What does Caster think about that?! Caster says great, he’ll also be at the Tailgate Brawl, so see you there, just don’t get in his way.
What’s Caster going to do? He isn’t booked! Caster says he will be, but Bowens says maybe if it’s to be a dumbass. Lexy stops the arguing because Tony Khan has made note that they do higher ratings when they’re on screen together. Their merch sales have gone up since being back on screen together, and the net value cash flows of their contracts are also higher. The numbers don’t lie. So if they’re going to be part of Tailgate Brawl, then it’ll be together. They argue with Lexy but she says this is all direct from Tony Khan, do not shoot the messenger. The two calm down, understanding that.
Caster then tells Tony through the camera, “This is really what you think of me? You know how insulting this is? I promise, you will regret the way that you treated me, cuz you can’t act like people don’t love The Best Wrestler Alive alone. And you can’t act like he (Bowens) doesn’t represent your company at all those outside events by himself. I don’t go to those, and he’s not the Best Wrestler Alive.” Bowens tells Caster to shut up already! But Bowens does tell Tony that Caster’s right, Bowens is NOT doing this! Cancel the match! He’s done! So is Caster! They both storm off, but will The (Not) Acclaimed NOT have a choice in working at Full Gear?

The fans fire up but Marina seethes. Roddy lifts Moxley, Moxley fires elbows, then he clinches to RAM Roddy into the steel steps! Roddy writhes and Moxley seethes while Collision goes picture in picture.
Moxley pushes the steel steps around, kicks at Roddy, then stands him up. Moxley full nelsons and THRASHES Roddy around. Roddy endures, claws at the grip, but Moxley puts on the pressure. Then Moxley SMACKS Roddy off the steps! Roddy flounders while Moxley refreshes the ring count. Roddy leans against the railing, Moxley storms up, but Roddy CHOPS! And CHOPS!

BUT HE FORGETS ABOUT PAC! The Bastard BOOTS Roddy!! The fans boo as the numbers game keeps giving The Death Riders an advantage!

The fans fire up as The Relentless One dares someone to get the next one! Roddy WRECKS Yuta with a dropkick! Darby jumps into the crowd, dares Moxley to come at him, then scares him off with the stun gun! Houston is all fired up, but will Darby & The Conglomeration burn it all down in Greensboro? Or will The Death Riders find a way to win without the numbers advantage?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here, but there was a rather stark contrast between the two hours being “Blood & Guts related” and “Not Blood & Guts related.” Great match from FTR VS Gunn & Robinson, and I really liked Bandido & Gravity pulling a double “Sting wearing a Sting mask” gag. Them and JetSpeed scaring Stokely and taking him out of the equation was great, and FTR losing for that is great because they get what they deserve but in a way that keeps them strong going towards Full Gear. I’d still love to see Bandido & Gravity VS FTR or some combination of singles matches to build the tag title match, but that depends on if Gravity is actually cleared to compete.
TayJay of course won a tune-up match tonight, they made quick work of Maya & Hyan. TayJay is going to fight their hearts out against Megan & Marina, but it feels like Megan & Marina are going to win in the end. TayJay can still find their spot in the Women’s Tag Division as the Face team chasing Heel champions, but it’s just a bit of bad luck that pieces have moved around like this. Very good promo from Athena calling out pretty much everyone, from Statlander to Mone to even Billie. Athena VS Billie 3 at Final Battle 2025 would be rather redundant after how Billie should’ve won last year, but it’d still be better than like Mone taking Athena’s title to add to that insane collection.
Only Tony Khan would work-shoot the ratings and merch sales into the Acclaimed dysfunction story. I’m writing a Legend of Zelda pro-wrestling promotion on here, and I’m still nowhere as nerdy as that. Caster & Bowens still made chicken salad out of that chicken crap, and I can’t wait to see where they go with that Tailgate Brawl match. Though, can we stop doing Tailgate Brawl on TV? It has been annoying the last two times because it just doesn’t make sense when Zero Hour is online for free.
Fletcher VS Ace Austin was a great match, and a great showing for Austin, but c’mon, this was just typical filler from TK, giving us a title match before the major title match they have been building. Fletcher had a good promo with Okada hyping up the No DQ match with Briscoe and teasing that Fletcher is the key piece in what will surely be a Don Callis Family Civil War, led by Team Takeshita and Team Okada. Also, really good promo from Fletcher & Callis with the Death Riders teasing a feud between the factions. No matter if Death Riders wins or loses at Blood & Guts, Death Riders moving on to DCF would be great stuff.
And of course, great stuff in all the Blood & Guts advantage matches. Obviously Thekla VS Harley was going to “be needed,” so of course Hayter beat Skye. The Heels having the advantage there makes me think Team Statlander comes through, helping build momentum for the teams still in the tag tournament. Plus, it isn’t the go-home so Mone can turn things around on Kris to then set herself up to fail at Full Gear. Moxley VS Roddy was great stuff, too, with The Death Riders obviously doing their best to screw Roddy over. But it was of course genius for Darby to cheat Moxley right back. But now that the Faces have advantage, do the Death Riders actually win at Blood & Guts? It would help them bounce back after Moxley lost to Darby, but then do we get one last Moxley VS Darby match at World’s End? It would be a fitting place to end something…
