King Switch stormed Castle and managed to win out! But will he, Juice Robinson and Konosuke Takeshita be ready for the Golden Elite’s Kenny Omega, Hangman Page & Kota Ibushi?

Collision returns and Tony Schiavone is in the ring.

He is there with Bullet Club Gold and says they’ve really stepped into something for All In with their match against The Golden Elite. White says they talk about what they wanna talk about. So first up, Guns Up for the Lexington Gold Members! Fans cheer, and White says what they’re gonna talk about is a message for his “old friend,” Kenny Omega, in his hospital bed. “Kenny! Hope you’re paying attention. Because if the so-called God of Professional Wrestling doesn’t wanna be exposed at the biggest professional wrestling event of all time at Wembley Stadium, then I think, Mr. Omega, you better stay in that bed.

“We’ve known you for almost a decade now, Kenny, myself and Juice here. We’ve had to sit by for too long, whilst you and your friends deceive the ENTIRE professional wrestling world! No, no no no. Kenny and his friends have deceived ALL of you that The Elite is the peak of Bullet Club! But Tony, we’re here to set the record straight. So in London, at All In, BULLET CLUB GOLD, the Bang Bang Gang, show they’re a cut above the Elite! And it doesn’t matter who Kenny brings with him, it doesn’t matter what friends you have with you! Kota Ibushi, Hangman Adam Page, it doesn’t matter! We’ve beat them before, we’ll beat them again, Kenny, just like you! We beat you before, we’ll beat you again!”

Fans fire up as White hands off the mic to Juice, and he tells Hangman that they heard what he said. He thinks it’s funny they drove from Orlando to Jacksonville just to beat the crap outta Kenny Omega? You think it was just a two minute beatdown? It only took them two minutes to beat down the great Kenny Omega so bad he had to go to the hospital! “So what do you think we’re gonna do to you at the biggest pro-wrestling show ever, you idiot?!” The Gunns say that The Bucks had to cheat to beat them cuz the Gunns are the best brother team in AEW. And instead of a rematch, The Bucks reach out for their friend, Kenny.

Fans chant “ASS~ BOYS~!” but Austin says they have friends, too! And their friends are way juicier, way more rock hard, and a much better leader than Kenny! The Elite may have started this company, but now they run it! The Bang Bang Gang! The Top Shelf Gunslingers! The Collison Cowboys! And to get warmed up, they wanna wrestle! Tony Khan, send out three whatever you got! Before Fyter Fest, they wanna warm up! LET’S GET IT ON! Jay White then asks, “How’s it go? If you ain’t down with that, we’ve just got two words for ya!” And no, not that, it’s GUNS UP!

But wait! Here comes Jacked Jameson & The Iron Savages! And Jameson tells the “finger bangers” that these three accept the challenge! Beefy and bulky, jacked and juicy, large and in charge! Bullet Club Gold has no idea who these three even are, but Jacked Jameson gives the hyped introductions for himself, Dirty Bulk Bronson & “The Sauce Hoss,” Beefcake Boulder! “Who are we?” “IRON SAVAGES!!” Lexington is ready, did the Bang Bang Gang just shove their collective eight feet in their mouths?

Winners: Bullet Club Gold, by pinfall

The Savages pushed the Bang Bang Gang, but Juice & The Gunns came out on top! Will they be able to do the same to The Elite, THE THE Elite?

The House of Black speaks.

Malakai Black says, “The definition of the world ‘funeral’ means ‘to observe a dead person before burial.'” The Samarians believed the afterlife was a dark, dreary cavern deep below the ground, where inhabitants continued a shadowy version of their lives on Earth. That is what Billy Gunn is doing: living a shadow of what he once was. And like all things that do not know they have deceased, they have to be reminded and taste the suffocating dirt in their mouths, so that they know they are six feet deep. “Here lies Billy Gunn, a man of nothing, and a father of immorality and lies. Rest in pain.” The House has put Billy’s boots in the trash compactor! Will they get away with this disrespect?

Jose the Assistant speaks.

Camera rolling. “For some reason, boss wants me to document this call, so let’s just get it out of the way.” Rush asks Jose about the last time La Faccion Ingobernable was on AEW TV. The Tornado Tag that they lost to the now defunct #JungleHook. “What are my eyes seeing? LFI losing that way? And against Jack? You more than anyone knows, that THAT faction… I don’t need here. I need a faction of badasses, real killers, and YOU… Know this well. I want the whole group in Mexico, and I’m even expecting you.” Wait, Mexico? YES! You heard him! Things have changed. Okay, okay. Rush then hangs up.

Jose sighs. He shuts the camera off, and LFI regroups in Mexico. They drive to the bar, Dralistico switches into his party mask, and then leaves buzzed with Preston Vance. Then they get snatched!? Jose is on the phone, not worried at all. Is this just part of the plan?

Backstage interview with Ricky Starks.

Tony Schiavone is with Absolute, who was suspended from competition last week for whipping Ricky Steamboat with a leather belt! Yeah, but Schiavone was wrong, wasn’t he? He said it was for 30 days, but it’s just four weeks, 28 days. And that’s already halfway done. This is all just a big joke! AEW might as well be a nonprofit organization. Starks is the one who has to suffer for it! His rage is not out of nothing. It comes from this type of stuff. Starks said he’d bring a war, and he meant every single word. So tonight, for those watching, he will bring chaos! Because in steps BIG BILL MORRISSEY! They do that, tonight! Starks heads out with Morrissey, is that his first client as a new manager?

Ricky Starks has a separate video message.

“Y’know, I’ve had a lot of distractions that have taken me off my mark. I lost myself. I channeled my energy into the wrong vessels. There are those who took my kindness for weakness, and the amount of kindness that I have is the same amount of chaos I can bring. This is who I’ve been all along. One thing and one thing only: I am Absolute.”

“Big Bill” Morrissey w/ Ricky Starks VS Derek Neal!

The bell rings and Neal is wary of both Big Bill, and Starks brandishing that leather belt. Bill then SPLASHES Neal in the corner! And CLUBS him down! Bill drags Neal up, Starks approves, but Neal ROCKS Bill! Starks says Neal is an idiot for doing that. Bill gets in Neal’s face, thrashes him around and says “You’re gonna hit me?! You’re gonna hit me!?” Bill whips and BOOTS Neal down! Bill roars and Starks likes it. Bill drags Neal up, SLAPS him, then choke grips, for the SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAM! Cover, Bill wins!

Winner: “Big Bill” Morrissey, by pinfall

Starks’ first client gets a huge win, but Starks says to keep going. Bill stalks Neal to ropes, drags him over by a leg, and then stands on a hand! Starks LASHES Neal over and over and over again! Bill then drags Neal up to TOSS him out! Fans boo but Starks says that’s for them. Will Starks and Bill be a force of nature in AEW?

AEW has footage from last Thursday.

AR Fox couldn’t believe it, but Darby Allin showed up at AR Fox’s wrestling school! Darby tells Fox that Sting warned him to have eyes in the back of his head. But Fox doesn’t seem to listen. What happened? Sting snuck up on Fox while he was distracted by Darby! Sting choked Fox out with the bat! And then Darby hit a COFFIN SPLASH! Darby says this was payback for what they did to Nick Wayne. And does he realize how easy it would’ve been to finish Fox off there? But Darby has bigger plans. They have to make it to Wembley so Darby can throw Fox into a coffin.

As for Wednesday, they don’t think Nick Wayne deserves to be here, huh? Nick says Fox & Swerve have changed. Whether it’s hurting Nick, breaking into his home, or leaving him in a pool of his own blood! But is that the kind of man Nick has to become to make it in this business? Or can he stick to the morals he was raised with? Darby warns Fox & Swerve, they’re gonna find out what Nick’s really capable of. That fight is at Fyter Fest this Wednesday, who will survive to go All In?

Lexi feels bad that Toni doesn’t even recognize her. But Toni continues to say that yes, it will be a preview of All In. One like you’ve never seen before. And after that, Britt and Hikaru won’t even make it to Wembley Stadium.

Then is Storm confident Saraya will have her back at All In? Listen, she knows you’re new here, but NEVER question the friendship of The Outcasts, alright? They are a sisterhood! A force!

But now, The Redeemer walks alone. No matter how much my heart breaks for her. Even when my puny god is trying to push me down, shrinks me into nothing because I won’t kneel for that fool!

“But Hobbs, I am not here to feud with my god. I am here to replace him. And you talk about redemption when all out redemption is coming for you, and it’s going to piss on your cold, dead body!

O’Conner Roll, TWO! Darby springboards to SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! Ghost pin, TWO!!! Christian escapes but Darby Oklahoma Rolls! TWO! Christian DECKS Darby with a right hand! The ref reprimands but Christian whips, but Darby catches him! Spin around and backslide, TWO!!

Christian escapes again, perhaps Darby’s bad arm is holding him back. Darby runs up, but Christian ROCKS him first! Then HOTSHOTS him down! And then YANKS Darby out to THROW into barriers! Christian stands Darby up to DECK him with an uppercut! Christian drags Darby up to CHOP him again! Darby SLAPS Christian on the way down! Christian snarls, he puts Darby back in, and Christian stomps Darby around. Christian isolates the bad arm, and he STOMPS the elbow! Christian goes to the outside and he grabs the TNT Championship! Christian brings it over, taunts Darby with it, and tells him to come get it.

Darby crawls over that way, Christian DECKS Darby! Christian storms back in while Darby sputters in the corner. Christian stomps Darby, drags him up, hammerlock and scoop, to a SLAM! Darby writhes from landing on his own arm, and Christian soaks up the heat from the fans. Christian stands Darby up but Darby throws body shots with the good arm! But Christian spins Darby around, hammerlock and REVERSE DDT! Darby clutches the bad arm, and Christian tells him to stay down. But then Christian aims from the corner a la the Rated R Superstar. Darby stands up, Christian runs in, but Darby KICKS him!

Darby fires off fast hands, a HEADBUTT, and then hops on, CODE RED! Cover, TWO!!! Christian survives, Darby hurries up after him! Darby puts the turtleneck up and over Christian’s head! Fans fire up as Christian can’t see, but he still throws elbows! Christian gets away, looking like Kenny from South Park, and he pulls the turtleneck down. Christian runs in, Darby goes up and over! Christian reels Darby back in, runs, but Darby follows! It’s a feint, and HEADS COLLIDE! Both men fall after that collision and fans fire up again! The ref starts a standing count as Collision goes picture in picture!

The count passes 5 of 10 but both men sit up. They crawl for ropes, and Darby drags himself up. Christian does the same, and both men run in at each other, DOUBLE CROSSBODIES collide now! The standing count starts again, fans rally and count along, and Darby sits up first. Darby and Christian head for each other, and they stand to throw hands! Darby ROCKS Christian! Christian ROCKS Darby! Repeat! Christian staggers around, and he SLAPS Darby down! Darby rises, throws body shots and forearms, but Christian YANKS Darby into ropes! And kicks him out of the ring! Christian distracts the ref so that Luchasaurus can storm over! Luchasaurus DECKS Darby!

The ref wants this back int he ring, but he has to keep Luchasaurus back, too! Darby goes up the corner!? To SUPER MISSILE DROPKICK Christian outta the chair!!

Fans lose their minds after what we just saw! Both men are down and the ring count starts. Christian stirs at 4 of 10, he and Darby stand at 6.

Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall

Darby pins Captain Charisma, and he continues to gain momentum! Tony Schiavone joins him in the ring, and knows Darby is basically spent. But one hell of a match! Now Darby has his shot in Chicago for the TNT Championship. Tonight, Darby earned it! But wait, who’s at the ramp? Luchasaurus is back! Darby eggs him on, but Christian CLOBBERS Darby with the belt AGAIN!! Fans boo but Christian tells Luchasaurus to put Darby down! JURASSIC CHOKE SLAM!! Christian promised that Darby would fall at the champion’s feet! Christian pins Darby now?! And Luchasaurus makes Schiavone count?

Schiavone gives in, and he counts one, two, three! Christian says HE is the winner! Schiavone announces “still TNT Champion,” Christian Cage. Fans boo as Captain Charisma celebrates a completely imaginary victory. But Luchasaurus still hoists Christian onto his shoulders and Christian still holds up the TNT Championship. And Swerve & Fox are loving it. Will the Mogul Embassy pick the bones both Wednesday on Dynamite and August 27th at All In? Or will Darby be able to rise up and take out all of his enemies?

My Thoughts:

A great Collision, with a lot build towards this blitz of a schedule they have going. Punk getting one over on Samoa Joe as “The Golden Vampire” was clever, and of course their match for All In is confirmed. Then great back to back stuff with Bullet Club Gold. Great match from White VS Castle, great promo from BCG, and great Six Man Tag of Juice & The Gunns VS The Iron Savages. While they lost, Castle and the Savages are both still great, and I hope Castle wins that ROH World TV Championship. BCG has momentum going into next week, no idea how that goes. BCG can probably get a dirty win so that the go-home math favors The Elite as Kenny joins Hangman & Ibushi against Juice, White & Takeshita and as The Bucks take on FTR.

Having brought up FTR, I’m pretty sure I didn’t skip past a new promo from FTR, and they were advertised to speak tonight, but uh… After Cash Wheeler was recently arrested on charges relating to a July road rage incident and then got out on $2500 bail, I can understand why FTR didn’t even have a via video promo. They’ll do their best to let that heat die down so that FTR can just have their match at All In with The Bucks. Now, if it were me, Bucks are totally winning those tag titles back, and perhaps Cash does some form of damage control. Then he and Dax can come back around a little later, maybe closer to Full Gear, maybe even feud over different tag titles.

Great promo from Starks with him overreacting to a minor error and then have a big response in Big Bill showing up as his client. Great squash match win for Bill, great little Heel beatdown after that, and with Starks “allowed” to wrestle again in a couple weeks, aka the Collision before All Out, you can bet Starks & Bill try to ruin something scheduled for All Out. They might even end up with a match scheduled on the All Out Zero Hour to have a big tag team win. At the same time, after Punk gets past Joe, Starks can go after him in another “Real” AEW World Championship match with Bill in Starks’ corner, basically settling things from last time.

Great vignettes from The House of Black and La Faccion Ingobernable. That “funeral” for Billy Gunn will surely spark something towards Billy’s return as a true blowoff of this story. And while it was well put together, Rush getting on Jose’s case and then apparently having Preston Vance and his own brother, Dralistico, kidnapped, I am disappointed it took them this long to come up with this. #JungleHook fell apart like months ago, and that tag match LFI lost was even a few weeks before that! This promo should’ve happened sometime before Jack Perry turned on Hook, and then we’d be waiting to see LFI make a wild return at All Out or something.

Really good match from Willow VS Diamante, especially with Mercedes showing up to be Diamante’s corner person. Kris showing up to stop Mercedes and Willow still winning was the right move, but I feel like the TBS Championship match needs to happen at All Out so this doesn’t spin its wheels like a lot of Jade Cargill’s feuds did. And good promo from Toni Storm, and of course we’re getting the tag match of the Fatal 4 Way competitors. And while Storm is so confident Saraya has her back and is all in on Three-Time Champion Storm, I really feel like Saraya is gonna pull the rug out from under her and take that win. UK/England fans will love Saraya winning and there’s new drama in the Outcasts’ story since they’ve apparently run their course against the Homegrowns.

Great squash match win for Hobbs, and good promo from Miro. Their match is going to be a great one for All Out, could go either way, but feels like another “Tony Khan wrote both big men into a corner,” just like he did Hobbs VS Wardlow. And where’s Wardlow even been, huh? But great little video from Darby where he and Sting got after Fox outside of AEW, and then a great main event from Darby VS Christian with Luchasaurus of course getting involved. Darby winning was a little surprising, but then seeing Christian & Luchasaurus stand tall made sense. Darby has momentum yet is still behind the 8 ball with his busy schedule.

But as I said for Dynamite, Darby really should win the TNT Championship back, he is putting in the work worthy of a championship that is both the “workhorse” and “television” title. Plus, that’d put him in the three-time TNT Championship club alongside Sammy Guevara, Wardlow and Cody Rhodes, also something Darby is worthy of.

My Score: 8.7/10
