Jim Ross has his sit down interview with Kenn Omega.
Filmed earlier today at Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, Florida, JR says they’re here where it all began. It was here that Kenny Omega won his first AEW World Championship with Don Callis by his side, but over the last few weeks, we’ve seen the real Don Callis. How can Omega even consider doing business with someone like him? Omega says “Uncle Don” was just a friend of his real uncle, Uncle Larry, “The Golden Sheik.” And so whether it was Christmas dinners, Easter dinners, Thanksgivings, Kenny’s own birthday, Callis was always there.
Now looking back, it was a really odd childhood. Kenny didn’t really have friends, Callis doesn’t really like other people. Kenny couldn’t have after school parties or summer vacations. Summer was used on hockey camp. Callis gave Kenny his first weight set, his first tub of protein powder, and vials of things he didn’t even know. Callis called them “vitamins.” Kenny was getting first place ribbons, first place trophies, first place medals. He was getting college scholarships. The way Callis guided Omega made him the best athlete he could be, and Omega has tried to remember that version of Don.
JR points out that ol’ Uncle Don is also the guy who stabbed Kenny in the forehead with a screwdriver. Kenny knows. So is he trying to justify Callis’ existence in his life? Kenny says that you can change friends, the people you’re with, but not your family. And to Kenny, Don is still his uncle. Kenny is trying to find reasons to not make his entire existence one of revenge. He just wants to move on. He doesn’t want Callis in his head, make this all about Callis and those he chooses to have in his “family.” And speaking of that, it would seem Callis has replaced Kenny even in that respect.
Yeah, Kenny and Takeshita go way back. Kenny saw a lot of himself in Takeshita in their shared time in DDT Pro. Omega thought this was the guy you should guide in the right way. But Callis made sure when he upgraded from Kenny, that not only was it someone younger, stronger, faster, but someone that would hurt Kenny in the heart. As the “God of Pro-Wrestling,” Callis’ words, Kenny has the power to giveth and to taketh away. So this new cash cow of Callis’, Kenny will take him away. But then in steps Don Callis! And he mockingly says he didn’t realize JR was a therapist. Kenny’s got so many issues, you’re gonna need a three hour special!
Callis then mockingly asks Kenny how his mental health is doing, because Callis is “worried” about him. Kenny apologizes to JR, tells Callis to stop, but then BULLET CLUB GOLD attacks! Jay White & Juice Robinson stomp Kenny, CLUB him on the back, and they ask if Kenny remembers them! JR is stunned as White CLUBS Omega on the back with a steel pipe! The BCG then RAM Omega into a garage door, where Takeshita gets to join in! They CHOKE Kenny with cables, and they CRACK Omega with a 2-by-4! Callis mocks Kenny for saying he was gonna show them something, but will Kenny even be able to fight back now?
Hangman Page speaks.
“Here’s the thing about a beatdown. Uh, if you’re gonna drive to Jacksonville of all places to do a beatdown, it’s at least gotta be good. It’s gotta last more than two minutes, somebody for the love of God has gotta shout ‘Roadhouse!’ Juice, I thought you knew better than that. And if you’re gonna start a beatdown, you have to finish it. I know I’m outside the hospital with Kenny inside, and it may seem like he is, but Kenny’s not finished, and neither is he friendless.
“Because in London, Kenny will have there two of his greatest friends. And not to flatter myself, two of his greatest tag team partners of all time, in Hangman and Kota Ibushi. A team I never would’ve thought possible! A dream team, if you will. And in front of one of the largest crowds in professional wrestling, Juice, Jay, Takeshita, this little beatdown you started, at Wembley, we finish it.” The medic tells Hangman he can’t be drinking a beer here, this is a hospital. Seriously? Yeah, sorry. Hangman chugs it all down to finish it, and recycles the can. Will the #GoldenCowboys take down Takeshita and the Bang Bang Gang?
Don Callis is in the ring!
Well, Jacksonville isn’t so far away from Nashville. And fans boo as Callis says, “Well it looks like everyone wants a piece of the Don Callis Family! Ladies and gentlemen, we know we’re here, the world is waiting! Without further ado, we’re gonna get the answer! It is my pleasure to introduce the Greatest Of All Time, and my BEST FRIEND of 34 years, Chris Jericho!” The Ocho makes his way to the ring, and we hear his answer to the invitation, after the break.
Dynamite returns and Jericho has joined Callis in the ring. Fans chant “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” Callis says we all know why we’re here. Business is business, but friendship like theirs is something else. Callis was recently betrayed by Kenny Omega, and we all saw what the Jericho Appreciation Society did to Chris last week, so Calils wants to say he feels for him. He’s sorry. Jericho says no, Callis doesn’t have to feel bad. Last week broke his heart, too, when all of the JAS walked out on him. It made Jericho realize things about himself, and that maybe he should reevaluate who he is as a person, change a few things, a few of his ways.
And like Jericho said, Jericho doesn’t join factions, he creates them. And after what happened last week, it is obvious what the answer here is, when it comes to whether or not Jericho joins Callis’ family. So the answer is… Fans hope it’s “NO! NO! NO!” but Jericho says YES!! Callis is stunned and fans boo! Jericho says yes, and here’s why! When the JAS walked out on Jericho, it made him realize he needs to get back to his roots! That he needs to get more selfish! That he needs to align with a man who is just as low as Jericho! A man who has known Jericho for 34 years, and can help him get back to the AEW World Championship! The answer is YES!
Callis and Jericho hug while fans boo even more. Callis says this is great! And let’s not even waste more time with these rubes! Let’s go beat up some rednecks like back in the day! Jericho says okay, but what was the picture there? Oh, right, Callis got another picture of him, Jericho and Bad News Allen. Which of Jericho’s houses does he want it sent? No, c’mon, let’s celebrate! Let’s see it! Callis says that’s not a good idea, but Jericho says hold on, they gotta celebrate with the picture. Wait, is that Callis holding Jericho’s head!? Like, disembodied head?! Fans chant “YOU EFFED UP! YOU EFFED UP!”
Jericho asks what this is. Callis tries to explain this was just a joke! No, wait. Did Callis assume Jericho was gonna say no? So what? Over that decision, Callis was gonna have Jericho assassinated and beheaded? All over saying no? No, no, no! This was all… Uh… Fans boo as Callis says this is embarrassing! He paid a lot of money for a new picture of them together and the artist screwed it up! Jericho tells Callis to stop. Jericho has known Callis since 1989, so he knows when he’s lying! Callis keeps trying but Jericho tells him to shut up! Callis is lying to Jericho’s face. For the first time since he’s known Jericho, “You scumbag lowlife,” BE HONEST AND TELL THE TRUTH!
Callis keeps trying to defend this but Jericho tells him to be a man and tell the truth!! Okay, fine! He wants the truth? YEAH! Callis did not think in a million years, Jericho would say yes. But not because it wasn’t the best opportunity in the world for Jericho. But because Jericho has a massive ego! They’ve known each other 34 years, and it has always been all about Jericho! Let’s go where Jericho wants! What does Jericho need? It has ALWAYS been about Jericho so yeah, Callis assumed Jericho would make another stupid, selfish decision! Because in a business full of egomaniacs, Jericho is truly the greatest at that.
Callis says Jericho is a narcissistic egomaniac who is too stupid to see what’s good for him, and doesn’t deserve to be in the Don Callis Family! Fans boo more and Jericho says, “Part of the Don Callis Family, huh? Who the hell is Don Callis? Three years ago, you weren’t even IN the wrestling business, and nobody cared! And now, because of me, you’re in AEW, at the top of your career, and compared to me, still nobody cares! And this is why, Don. You have lost everything. You lost your family, you lost Kenny Omega, you got no friends cuz you lost me! You have messed up every single personal relationship you’ve had in your life, and do you know why?
“Because you’re a lowlife, you’re a worm, you’re a piece of trash, and you, Don Callis, are an A-HOLE!!” Callis SLAPS Jericho!! Jericho grabs Callis by the collars and smothers him in the corner! But in comes Takeshita! Jericho BOOTS him first! And fires off hands! Fans fire up as Jericho keeps on Takeshita in the corner, but he turns around into a HIDDEN BLADE!! Will Ospreay is here!! Takeshita stomps Jericho and Ospreay aims at Jericho. CHAIR SHOT TO THE HEAD!! Callis calls Jericho the piece of garbage, and Ospreay punches where Jericho’s forehead has busted open! Takeshita then drags Jericho up, he and Ospreay set him up for Callis!
Callis has the portrait, and SMASHES the glass on Jericho’s head!! Callis, Takeshita & Ospreay stand tall, until SAMMY GUEVARA runs in! With Floyd the Baseball Bat! The Don Callis Family runs away, the Spanish God helps Jericho sit up. Jericho is bloodied, but will the one man who stood by his side help him get revenge?
Jack Perry speaks.
“You can go ahead and call me Mr. Wednesday Night, because last week, I defeated the legend, Rob Van Dam. I am officially the greatest FTW Champion to ever live. But before some bozo comes along and tries to muck up the legacy that I’ve created, we’re gonna get out while we’re on top. Because the only thing better than being the greatest is being the last. Next week, live on Dynamite, I’m going to retire the FTW Championship.” Hollywood Jack Perry thinks he can do that to this belt, but will someone stop him and his inflated ego?
Darby Allin & Nick Wayne VS The Gates of Agony!
The Relentless One is going to have a hectic time these next few weeks. He just beat Brian Cage on Rampage, he faces the rest of the ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions here alongside his protégé, and then he has the Tag Team CASKET MATCH alongside Sting against AR Fox & Swerve Strickland at All In! Will Darby Allin survive the Summer?
OH NO, the Gates attack during the entrance! Kaun CLUBS Darby and Liona tosses Nick into the ring. The bell rings and Kaun goes after Nick! Then “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Swerve and AR Fox make their way out, chairs in hand! Kaun CHOPS Nick, Liona keeps after Darby on the outside, and Kaun whips. Nick holds ropes, dumps Kaun out, then builds speed to DIVE! Direct hit and down goes Kaun! Liona runs in but into a shoulder! Nick dodges Kaun, runs back in, but the Gates DOUBLE HIP TOSS Nick into railing! Darby jumps on Liona for a SLEEPER! But Kaun grabs at Darby!
Darby kicks Kaun away, clubs away on Liona, so Kaun BOOTS Nick down! Liona RAMS Darby into Nick! Fans boo as the Gates stand on the apron. The ref reprimands, the Gates go into the ring, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ring count starts, Fox & Swerve sit on the ramp to watch. Nick gets in the ring, but Kaun rains down fists from all sides! Kaun lets off, he paces around Nick, then CLUBS him on the back! Kaun back suplexes, holds him up, Liona tags in, but Nick slips free! Nick ROCKS Liona, ENZIGURIS Kaun, and goes up the corner, to FLYING- POUNCE!! Liona clobbers Nick outta the sky! Darby is furious but the ref keeps him back. Liona drags Nick around and into a neck wrench. Liona makes Darby watches as he twists Nick’s neck. Nick endures, fights up, but Liona throws him down by his hair!
Liona stalks Nick, tags in Kaun, and the Gates mug Nick with a flurry of fists! The ref reprimands, has the Gates let off, and Kaun drags Nick back up. Kaun CHOPS, tags Liona, and Liona RAMS into Nick! Liona keeps Nick trapped, he and Kaun mug Nick again! The ref counts, Lioan lets off but Kaun CHOKES Nick behind their backs! Darby protests but it all goes unnoticed. Liona drags Nick up, puts him on top, and tags Kaun in. Kaun goes up to TOP ROPE BACKBREAKER! Nick flops to the apron, and Liona hits a SENTON! Liona roars, runs, but Darby avoids the cheap shot. Liona drags Nick up and Kaun tags in.
The Gates shove Nick to ropes, to DOUBLE SPINEBUSTER on the rebound! Cover, TWO! Dynamite returns to single picture, Kaun calls Liona back in. The Gates stand Nick up, but Nick ducks the double lariat! Nick BOOTS Kaun into Liona, hot tag to Darby! Darby dodges Kaun to DIVE onto Liona! Then Darby runs in, gets around Kaun to crucifix hold, but Kaun stays up! Nick SUPERKICKS Kaun into the CRUCIFIX DRIVER! Cover, TWO!! Fans fire up but Liona returns. Liona runs in to BLAST Nick! Darby jumps on for another sleeper but Kaun CLUBS him down! Liona goes up, BACKBREAKER SPLASH COMBO!! Cover, Nick breaks it!
Fans fire up but Liona puts Nick in a corner. Kaun puts Darby in the other, and the Gates SLAP each other to fire up! They both run in, but they both only get buckles! Darby fires off shots on Liona, but Linoa waistlocks! Darby HOTSHOTS Liona, and Nick is there to FLYING RANAÂ to the floor! Fans fire up as Darby BOOTS Kaun! Darby runs in, Kaun pops him up and over, but Nick hits the WAYNE’S WORLD! Darby goes up top, as does Nick! ARIHARA MOONSAULT for Liona, COFFIN DROP for Kaun!! Cover, Darby & Nick win!!
Winners: Darby Allin & Nick Wayne, by pinfall
Darby gets his skateboard, too! He and Nick are ready to fight Fox & Swerve as the two storm up with their chairs, but the Gates are still up! So Darby LASHES Liona with his belt! Wait! On the tron! It’s STIIIIING! And he mockingly asks, “Whose House?” Fox & Swerve glare at the tron and Sting wants us to bring it in. He has something real fun to talk about. He is directing movies! Stinger is making films! He has a great leading man, he’ll get to that in a minute, but first… Fox, this is for you. “You better have eyes in the back of your head 24/7 from this moment forward.
“Why? Well, because we have a coffin match in nine days! Wembley Stadium, London, England, 80 THOUSAND PEOPLE! YES!! I love it! The red blood cells are already moving! Tell ’em, leading man!” IT’S NANA! That’s where he was?! Nana says it’s more like 11 days. But what was this talk about? Well, glad you asked. The only thing left to say is… It’s showtime. Darby and Nick fire up as the Embassy hurries to the back! Sting YELLS at Nana and Nana runs away! Sting says “Nana nana, hey hey hey, good~ BYE!” Sting wishes Nana would come back to finish the talk. Sting’s inner Joker is released, will he and Darby go crazy at All In?
It’s another bro session with MJF and Adam Cole!
Maxwell Jacob Friedman says he is here, prepping today for Wembley Stadium, but then Adam Cole walks over. What’re they doing here? MJF tells Cole that they have the opportunity to not only have the most historic main event of all time, but the most historic Buy In of all time! For the first time ever, #BetterThanYouBaybay, Adam Cole & MJF, VS Aussie Open for the ROH World Tag Team Championships! And if they’re gonna beat their opponents, they gotta get in the minds of their opponents. And so, they are here at Aussie Open’s “temple.” Their “holiest of places…” Outback Steakhouse.
DUDE! Cole LOVES Outback- Don’t fraternize with the enemy!! But anyway, they get in, Cole loves the menu already, and MJF looks at the picture of a man boxing a kangaroo, and losing. They eat up, Cole is so full and satisfied. MJF is stunned. That WAS the best food he’s had in his life! If their cuisine is that good, their wrestling must be ten times better! MJF & Cole don’t have a chance! I mean, that BLOOMING ONION! Cole SLAPS sense into MJF and tells him to snap out of it. They’ve got this. Here’s how they can prepare to beat Aussie Open.
Cut to them backstage, and Cole got them some pure Australian cinema. The one-two punch of Crocodile Dundee, 1 AND 2! Ready to watch? Okay, hold on, hear MJF out. While they were at Outback Steakhouse, MJF saw something he can’t get out of his head. He just wants Cole to watch this. Um, okay, Cole spent $5.99 on the DVD two pack but sure. MJF has video of kangaroos boxing each other. They’re so majestic! Look how they strike! Sends chills down MJF’s spine. That is what they need to beat Aussie Open in the Buy In! Just watch! Kangaroo Style! MJF does a rather weak jump kick, and Cole says out of all the ideas MJF has had, this is the dumbest one yet.
Hey, pal, the kangaroo kick’s gonna save Cole’s life one day! Cole says trust him, he has the better idea. And cut to MJF & Cole doing Crocodile Dundee meets Steve Irwin impersonations. And they set a bunch of inflatable crocodiles and a kiddy pool in the hallway. The janitor is upset, MJF wants to spring the kangaroo style on him. No, that’s dumb! But it’s so over! No, wait. Double clothesline! They storm up and DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE the guy into the kiddy pool! But then TONY KHAN gets on their case!
Tony Khan has them in his office as he shouts at these two “hotshots” that they can’t just be going around double clotheslining anyone they want! Certainly not backstage while people are trying to work! Leave that stuff for the ring! They leave his office, and MJF says Tony’s gonna regret that come 2024. Oh yeah, contract season will- Tony opens the door and asks what MJF just said. Uh, uh, h-hi, Tony. You look good. Good. Tony thanks MJF for that, and for everything he and Cole do for AEW. They fist bump and Tony closes his door. Crikey. MJF defends he was gonna tell Tony off, he just got caught by surprise.
MJF & Cole pull into the arena!
The cherry red Ferrari with the Burberry license plate that reads “BTRTHNU” parks, the two brochachos get out and Cole asks if MJF’s good to go. No, he is not. That flamin’ hot Nashville chicken he had at Hattie B’s… Daddy’s gotta deuce. See you out there! Cole says okay, see everyone after the break. Cole heads out to gorilla while MJF hurries to a restroom, and then Roderick Strong hurries over. He missed getting Cole’s attention and kicks the car in frustration, but just ends up stubbing his toe on a rim! The Kingdom tell Strong to shake it off, but Strong gets mad at them now! Will Roddy ever get a grip?
MJF & Cole head to the ring!
Fans fire up as the #BetterThanYouBaybay best buds walk down the ramp. MJF borrows a sign from a fan that says “DOUBLE CLOTHES LINE” then joins in on the BOOM and “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” MJF then gets a mic to have them cut the music, and he hears the fans chant for him. “NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE! The Devil has arrived! Adam Cole, talk to all these tens I see.” “Who’s ready for Story Time with Adam Cole, Baybay?” We are just a week and a half away from the biggest pro-wrestling event ever, All In London. And if you have a ticket, make sure your butts are in those seats by 5 PM, because Zero Hour, Cole & MJF will become your NEW ROH World Tag Team Champions!
Fans cheer that, and Cole tells us all, they will do it- WITH A KANGAROO KICK, BABY! MJF hops around and Cole tells him to stop. Fans chant “KANGAROO KICK!” with MJF but Cole tells him that what he was gonna say, DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE! But that is not the only match that night. In the main event, Adam Cole VS MJF for the AEW World Championship. That match will go down as the most important match in Cole’s entire life, because nine months ago, he was told by multiple doctors that he may never wrestle again. There were some nights where Cole would lay awake and cry, thinking his dream was dead.
But fast forward, and he is in the main event of the biggest show of all time. Fans cheer that, and Cole adds that he is challenging for “the most precious prize in our sport, the AEW World Championship.” And he’s doing it with one of his best friends in MJF. This is important for legacy, because for 15 years, Cole has been at the top of every wrestling promotion he has ever worked for. He has broken records with title runs, and this match with Max will solidify Cole’s legacy in AEW. But not just being in the match, but winning the match. Because, as much as he loves MJF, Cole needs to win this match more than MJF can imagine.
So Cole is saying this as his friend, and out of love, the second that bell rings, Cole will do anything and everything to win that title. MJF says Cole doesn’t know about MJF. MJF says that was a great story, but too bad MJF’s is better. “Hey, Nashville. Who’s ready for Story Time with MJF BAYBAY?” Fans cheer, and MJF says that when he first got into this sport, listen carefully because this is the God’s honest truth. When MJF first started, on his first day at Create A Pro Wrestling Academy, they were handed sheets of paper and told to write down dream opponents. MJF wrote down two names: Cody Rhodes and Adam Cole.
Fast forward to 2018. MJF for one year has had a brand-spanking new Dodge Ram truck. In that one year, MJF put 90 THOUSAND MILES on it because he busted his ass trying to make a name for himself on the independent circuit. Then a little birdie tells him that there’s gonna be this show run by The Elite in Chicago. “A show that would be the biggest show in the history of wrestling outside of the WWE in decades, and that show was called All In!” Fans cheer that! MJF shot his shot, and he DM’d Cody Rhodes and said, “Sir, you don’t know me all that well, and you don’t owe me a damn thing, but if you give me an opportunity, I promise you, I will not disappoint.”
Some time went by, the show was getting closer and closer, and MJF’s hopes of being on it were getting thinner and thinner, until MJF got a response from Cody. Cody told MJF, “You’re All In!” That was the biggest night and the biggest opportunity of MJF’s career. He got to open a PPV he frankly had no right being on. Yes, he lost that night. However, MJF managed to turn some pretty important heads, one being Tony Khan’s. After that, Tony offered MJF a contract to a little known company, maybe you’ve heard of it, ALL ELITE WRESTLING! “The fact of the matter is, if there’s no All In, there’s no MJF, and that’s a FACT!”
Fast forward again to now, 2023. MJF went from being unknown, he scratched and clawed from the “undercard,” and he grew up in front of the fans’ eyes to become a GENERATIONAL TALENT! The Devil Himself! One of the best to have ever done this! The AEW WORLD CHAMPION!! Fans cheer that, and MJF says now, he looks at a chance to be on another show called All In. And once again, it is the biggest opportunity of his career, as in front of the biggest crowd in the history of this sport, and he will be in the main event a guy who on day one was his dream opponent, and is now his best friend.
MJF says this means so much to him, Cole has no idea. The fact they’re going down in history as the main event of the most important show of all time… However, it doesn’t mean everything to MJF. There is only one thing that means everything to him, and that is the TRIPLE B! Fans chant “TRIPLE B!” as MJF says this belt isn’t just a title! It represents all MJF’s blood, sweat and tears, the hard work, the missed deaths, the missed births, the countless hours training in a gym until he could barely stand, then standing in front of a TV set studying tape until his eyes bled, all so he could obtain THIS!!
Fans fire up for MJF and he says if Cole thinks just cuz they’re buds, MJF lies down on August 27th, Cole’s outta his damn mind. MJF loves Cole like a brother, but a win in Wembley will make MJF legendary. And he’s gonna win, because nobody is on the level… of the devil! Cole tells Max, “May the best man win.” MJF has a feeling the best man IS gonna win, because he is MAXWELL! JACOB! FRIEDMAN! And he’s better than you, and you know it! Oh, interesting. Because he is sure the NEW AEW World Champion is gonna be… ADAM COLE BAYBAY! The two fist bump as they finally have their promo battle, but wait! AUSSIE OPEN ATTACKS!!

And they call for “DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE!” They double whip but Davis bails out! Fletcher staggers up, MJF gears up, but Davis drags Fletcher out! No kangaroo kick, either! MJF & Cole tell Aussie Open that they’ll see them in London! Wait, Cole is gearing up!? MJF is talking trash, but then he turns around, and Cole stands up tall. MJF wonders what was going on there, but fans chant for a hug! MJF puts the belt down, goes to ropes, but then he hugs Cole!
The brochachos are ready to go All In, but will they stay brochachos through it all? Or will one of them choose themself over the other in the end?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
Renee Paquette is with The Ocho as he gets patched up by AEW medical. After all that happened with Callis and his “family,” including Will Ospreay now, what is Jericho’s reaction? Jericho tells Ospreay that if he wanted a match, he didn’t have to attack from behind. This match has been guaranteed since 2021! This would’ve happened in the Tokyo Dome if not for lockdown! But now, it’ll take a lot more than a worldwide pandemic to stop this from happening! In London, Ospreay’s home turf, if he wants a piece of Jericho, how about one of the Greatest Of All Time VS one of the Greatest Of All Time? Jericho VS Ospreay at ALL IN!!
And if Ospreay wants to make Jericho bleed, then Jericho will make Ospreay bleed and drink his own blood! Ospreay has never faced anyone with the experience and presence of Jericho! Jericho knows Ospreay has mental problems, so he’s gonna get inside Ospreay’s head, beat him down and embarrass him in front of his family, wife, and countrymen in Wembley Stadium! You don’t know what you just got yourself into, but you just opened the gates of Hell, and The Ocho is coming for you! Jericho is out for blood, will there be plenty of it?

Bunny soaks up the cheers and jeers, takes a few bows, then goes back to Britt. Bunny CHOKES Britt on the ropes, lets off as the ref counts 4, and Penelope gets up to CHOKE Britt herself!

The Acclaimed VS ???
In the name of Billy Gunn, Max Caster & Anthony Bowens return to Dynamite to continue their return to 2v2 tag team wrestling! And of course, Platinum has a diss track on deck! “Acclaimed for the win, yo we back in the hunt! Yo, we got this locked down like President Trump! On the microphone, I’m never friendly. I riff on you dudes like I’m Derrick Henry! Two bald dudes, it’s the easiest. You look like you a couple big hairy pen*ses! Yo, we killin’ the game. Because in Nashville, everybody loves The Acclaimed!” Bowens has the mic to say “OH~, NASHVIIIIILLE~! The Acclaimed have arrived!”
Wait, the lights go out? What’s going on? Fans get their phone lights on, and when the lights come up, whoever those randos were are gone, and the HOUSE OF BLACK is here!! Caster & Bowens can feel this horror movie moment, and they get ready for a fight one way or another. Fans hoot it up, Brody King CLOBBERS Bowens while Buddy Matthews V-TRIGGERS Caster!

She smiles as she hands them to Buddy, who hands them to Brody, who hand them to Malakai. The Dark Father holds up Daddy Ass’s boots, is that the newest trophy for the House of Black?
The Young Bucks VS The Gunns!
Matt & Nick Jackson are preparing to face FTR for not just the AEW World Tag Team Championships, but for all the beans!

Speaking of, the Bucks DOUBLE SUPERKICK the Gunns during their entrance! Then they do their own entrance pose! Nick dropkicks Colten down to join Austin, and then Matt CROSSBODIES the Gunns down!

The ref is distracted by Austin’s antics, and Colten CHOKES Matt against the ropes! Colten slips away, Austin storms back up, and he TOSSES Matt out! Austin again distracts the ref so Colten can stomp Matt! Nick protests, but Colten still gets away with it. Austin tags Colten in, Colten fetches Matt and SMACKS him off the apron.

Then Juice staggers into SHATTER MACHINE! The Bucks aim at White, but Austin drags White out! Fans fire up but now FTR aims at the Bucks! The Bucks turn around to see that in time! The Bucks and FTR stare down and fans fire up. FTR hold up the tag titles, but will they still be holding onto those after going All In?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite here, with a lot more built for All In. On one hand, about time because they said it all night that we’re 11 DAYS away. But on the other, it all worked out in story because things have escalated to points where it makes sense everyone would want to fight. Great opening with the International Championship, which I figured Cassidy would win. And now we see this Triple Threat feud has been building to something big in what will be a SIX VS SIX Stadium Stampede! Eddie Kingston makes his return from the NJPW G1 Climax to get right in the thick of it, and he basically subs in for the injured Pac so he, Lucha Bros and all three Best Friends can battle the BCC and three others.
I can’t be sure who BCC gets, but I’m thinking it should be NJPW’s Team Strong Style, aka Minoru Suzuki, El Desperado & Ren Narita. Moxley has established respect with Suzuki and Desperado, and Desperado loves going hardcore, this would be perfect for the whole trio. Also, an awesome promo segment from Jericho and Callis. The swerve of Jericho just saying yes was made good by the painting swerve where Callis thought he was gonna say no. And then things really got good, and now we’re getting Jericho VS Ospreay in the UK, this one could steal the show because that crowd is gonna be hot for it.
Speaking of Don Callis, he is making moves getting other factions on his side. The really good interview promo from Omega turned into a really good beatdown promo, that then gave us a great promo from Hangman to also set up another All In match. That Six Man Tag of Golden Elite VS Takeshita, White & Juice is going to be great stuff, too, though if the Elite doesn’t win, it’s because of shenanigans so that we can get Omega VS Takeshita at All Out. I was surprised Gunns VS Bucks was the main event, but it was a great match even so. The Gunns have definitely taken to pro-wrestling like fish to water, but also of course the Bucks win so they have momentum.
And FTR coming to the rescue when the full BCG attacks was also expected out of that mutual respect the teams have. There’s still time in terms of go-homes, so don’t consider the Bucks out of things just yet. Also, in case anyone’s wondering, it would seem Collision on August 26th will actually be prerecorded next Wednesday after Dynamite so fans are going to get a huge five hour chunk for Fyter Fest. So all those go-homes are probably going to be as wild as possible to really keep us guessing.
And speaking of keeping us guessing, so much good stuff in the saga of MJF and Adam Cole. Great bro session stuff with them trying to learn the ways of Australians, and I really loved the sort of two faced Tony Khan. Tony chews them out behind closed doors but is super nice on camera. And then great in-ring promos where they both just bare all and truly, we all appreciate that. Aussie Open attacking was a logical move, and I like that we got a little bit more Roddy & Kingdom. How are these three not going to get involved at All In? Also nice little tease-not-tease of Cole about to Superkick MJF. All In’s gonna be must-see just on that drama alone, and it could definitely bleed over to All Out the very next week.
Britt had a really good match with Bunny, especially considering that was Bunny’s return. But of course Britt wins, it just makes sense given the past story with Outcasts. That stuff kinda cooled off, AEW never giving us the huge faction warfare like I was hoping. But being a Fatal 4 Way, hard to say Shida will drop the belt but it would be a somewhat protected loss since the Outcasts can basically make this 2v1v1, or even 3v1v1 since Ruby could get involved and there’d be no disqualifications. I feel like fans would love if Saraya became champion since she’s their hometown hero, and then Shida can have a rematch with Saraya at All Out.
Really good stuff from Darby & Nick VS Gates of Agony. Darby has been responsible for ending the win streaks of Cage, Kaun & Liona, I almost feel like we should get Darby, Nick & Sting taking those ROH World Six Man titles off them. But also great promo from Joker Sting scaring Nana and the Embassy. That tag team casket match is gonna be wild, too, I just hope Sting doesn’t try something like that leap onto two tables a few months ago. Let Darby or Nick do the crazy stuff. Acclaimed NOT having a match but just getting beat down by the House of Black was quite the surprise, and them taking Billy’s boots has to mean Billy is coming back for one last match, titles VS career.
And what a wild Texas Chainsaw Massacre ad integration match. I can see why this wasn’t the main event, they needed to make sure it had time to breathe given how they went all around backstage. All the red light felt like a jab at The Fiend, though. But I did like that Leatherface was cosplaying Tony Khan. Jarrett winning was also a surprise, I really thought this was gonna be what helps the Hardy Party get going. Instead, Triple J wins and this must be sending them towards something big. The only thing that comes to mind is them getting back into a team title scene, and that oddly feels like them going for trios titles to feud with new champions, Acclaimed & Billy. Something about that feels awful but also hilarious because The Acclaimed can just be like, “Aw crap, here we go again.”
My Score: 8.9/10

Garcia fires off on Perry, throws him into the side of the bus, “You thought this was a game?!” Garcia stomps Perry, and he frees Menard from the chain. Garcia stands Perry up abut Menard has an idea. Menard takes the camera, but Collision goes to break. What hell will Garcia put Perry through a week before Full Gear?
Lio Rush speaks.
“I am sick and tired of feeling the way that I’ve been feeling lately. Lost and confused on where I stand with the people that surrounded me. It’s really hard to know exactly who you are when you lose the matches that mean the most. But then I take a deep breath, I look at my watch, and I remember that I’m the Man of the Hour. I came to AEW to collect titles. I’m a 30-year-old piece of gold, and I pray that the people I call friends get on the same page. Because it’s only a matter of time before Lio Rush is rushing to the top.”
Garcia has Perry tied to the hood of the bus!
Garcia shouts at Perry that he was waiting for a reason! Garcia and Menard get in the bus, and they take Perry for a ride! They go through guard rails, up a ramp, and perhaps even into town! Will the Scapegoat end up a bug on a windshield?

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Renee Paquette is with the #BornAgainKristen and says that we’re just one week away from Kris VS Mercedes Mone for the TBS Championship at Full Gear. Things have already gotten out of control, from Mone & Kamille trying to run Kris over with a car, and then Kris tackles them through a wall. Once the bell rings, what can we expect? Kris says, “Anything and everything.” Mone is one of the best, will do anything she can to win, and is most dangerous when she’s cornered, where she is right now. Everything she’s tried hasn’t worked because Kris is still standing. Kris will be the one standing tall as the NEW TBS Champion.
In steps Hikaru Shida with enthusiastic applause. The Shining Samurai tells Kris that she just wants to wish her luck. It’s about time someone beats Mone’s boney ass! And when Kris becomes the new champion, Shida will gladly be her first challenger. Kris says alright, sure. But here’s another idea: Kris is always open for a challenge any time, especially against #HolyShida, the only THREE-TIME AEW Women’s World Champion. So how about this? Wednesday Night Dynamite, Shida VS Kris. Shida’s all for it! They shake hands, but will fighting Shida be a little too much before going to Full Gear? Or will it prove Kris is still The Galaxy’s Greatest?
Backstage interview with The Acclaimed.
Lexy Nair is with Max Caster & Anthony Bowens ahead of their huge Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series match with La Faccion Ingobernable. But where is Billy Gunn? Caster asks that more importantly, where are their heads going into the match? Because Caster just has to say, as the Best Wrestler Alive, he’s feeling real confident. Bowens says for Lexy’s actual question, Billy will be here. What Caster was trying to say is that The Acclaimed do feel great, because they are one match away from joining that Fatal 4, where they will become TWO-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions in the Scissor King’s home state of New Jersey!
And when they win, The Acclaimed will celebrate with one big scissoring, because EVERYONE LOVES THE ACCLAIMED! Ain’t that right, Lexy? Oh, wait, MVP steps in, Shelton Benjamin by his side. The Hurt Syndicate just wants to wish The Acclaimed luck. The Syndicate handled their business, so Caster & Bownes should handle theirs. Oh, and Max, use your size and strength. This is a big opportunity, don’t blow it. The Syndicate heads out, but will The Acclaimed win to impress MVP? Or to get back where they belong?

The return of the Powerhouse is truly big for AEW, but all the Iron Savages are big. And Jacked Jameson wants everyone to hold on. The fat morons and skinny idiots of Albany can shut up.

But here’s some news: all these losers are going on a vegan diet! There will be no meat tonight!

Bronson flounders into a corner, the fans fire up as Hobbs headbutts buckles! Hobbs runs up to SPLASH in the corner! Hobbs says he’s got all the meat! Hobbs LARIATS point blank again and again as fans chant “MEAT!” Hobbs lets Bronson stagger about, before he CLOBBERS him!

How’s he feeling? First, thanks for all that, Lexy, he appreciates it. Second, “MAAAX! You have seven days. Seven days from right now until you’re standing across the ring from me, Max. And look, I got a lot to say, and on Wednesday, you’re gonna hear it all, but I just wanna leave you with this: Max, you walk around here thinking you’re smarter than everybody, you’re better than everybody. I don’t think you realize what you’ve gotten yourself into.
“I am the Messiah of the Backbreaker. I am a damn wrestling legend! And when Full Gear ends, you’re gonna realize that I’m better than you, and you know it!” Roddy is ready to throw it all back in MJF’s face, but will the Wolf of Wrestling have a contingency plan?

Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series: Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Jake “The Snake” Roberts VS The Acclaimed w/ Billy Gunn!
Platinum Max of course has a diss track. “These dudes gotta be embarrassed. You ’bout to lose bigger than Kamala Harris! LFI in a title match is outta place. It’s like Mexicans being managed by Jake the Snake! I would’ve called the committee, but you’re lucky Albany’s a sanctuary city!” Bowens takes over to say, “ALBANAAAAAY~! The Acclaimed have arrived!

PROGRAMMING NOTE for next week!
With Full Gear being next Saturday, November 23rd, Collision takes a week off! We’ll see everyone back here in two weeks on November 30th!
Backstage interview with Mina Shirakawa.
Lexy is with the Fighting Gravure Idol and congratulates her on her win in her return. Mina says yes, she is so back to have come back here, and she is so excited for Mariah’s match. Lexy says Mina already has multiple championships, is AEW gold on her mind at all? Mina says she’s just excited for Mariah’s match. But that’s not a no… Time to dance! Mina shimmies her way on out, but will she end up wanting something more than just fun with her friend?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Lexy is now with Mark Briscoe, Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii, and she notes that in a couple weeks, Dynamite: Thanksgiving Eve, it will be Tomohiro Ishii VS Chris Jericho for the ROH World Championship. How is Ishii feeling? The Stone Pitbull is stone-faced, so Mark Briscoe “translates” what #BigTom is exuding with his aura. This is what he’s trying to say: Jericho, your days are numbered! You better shine that title up real nice, sleep with it real close, because soon, it’s getting up outta there! “Learning Tree my ass, you about to learn a lesson about humility! You about to learn a lesson about gettin’ your ass whooped!”
Mark asks if they understand what he’s saying, and Rocky says yeah, he’s picking up what Mark’s putting down. Rocky’s digging the energy, and he feels the intensity. But he has to know one thing: What is the word of the day? That’s a hell of a question, Rocky, because today, it is a menagerie of words! Take a basket, reach in, pull out the word of the day, and well, it’s tenacious! Tenacity! Ferocious! Velocity! Ferocity! He’s tellin’ ya, long story short, that title is coming back to the Conglomeration, courtesy of Tomohiro Ishii! Jericho, you gettin’ your ass whooped, son! RARARARA!
Mark may be fire on the outside, but Ishii is fire on the inside. Will The Learning Tree be burned down either way?
Backstage interview with FTR.
Lexy notes that this past Wednesday, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood came up short in their own Full Gear Contenders Series match. Where are their heads out right now? Cash says he wishes he had an answer, because he doesn’t really know. FTR doesn’t know where they go from here. They wish it was just one bad night, but the truth of the matter is, FTR lost those titles a little over a year ago and have had chances to get them back where they just haven’t. Maybe it’s FTR. Maybe their time has passed them. Maybe they need to reevaluate. Dax agrees. But on Dynamite, the better team won on that night.
While FTR could cry about it, or they could rebuild. Therefore, they will rebuild. This may not be FTR’s time, but it is someone’s time. It is The Outrunners’ time! And maybe after Full Gear, we get an FTRunners dream match for those titles. Boys, they’re pulling for you. Speaking of, we’re about to hear from The Outrunners right now!
The Outrunners speak.
Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd have another retro style video in old standard definition, saying they’ve got the looks and the attitude, so you know they’ve got “the stuff!” It’s a highlight reel of their match with Top Flight, even using retro graphics in the editing. You gotta have the meat! And right now, they’re sizzling! But will Truth & Turbo be prime A1 material at Full Gear? Or will they end up well done?

The fans lose their minds as both women are wrecked on the steel bars! Nigel can’t bear to watch the replay! The fans declare, “This is Awesome!” Mariah rises up, but Anna flops out of the ring. Anna finds some BARBED WIRE! Anna looks to relive one of her highlights as she wraps the wire around her arm! Anna stalks Mariah, and has the BARBED WIRE QUEENSLAYER on!!! Mariah suffers and the fans say Anna is sick! Anna doesn’t care, she wants to be champion! Mariah fades, but she uses HAIR SPRAY IN THE EYES!! Mariah is free, and she reels Anna in, STORM ZEROÂ on a chair!! Cover, Mariah wins!!
Winner: Mariah May, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Champion)
Taya is upset but Deonna says it’s alright. Anna and Mariah pushed each other to their limits, but also to some dark places. The Glamour is still atop the AEW Women’s Division, and here comes Mina! Best friends get to celebrate Mariah’s victory, and then Mariah KICKS ANna in the side! Mina says no, Mariah, you already did enough! Mariah accepts that, and BREAKING NEWS from Tony Khan: Now that Mariah has retained her title, she and Mina will have their championship champagne celebration for Full Gear! Will no one ever stop Mariah’s reign of glamour?
Jon Moxley speaks.
The Maniac is with Marina Shafir in the parking lot as he says, “I’ve underestimated Orange Cassidy. I’ve pushed him in the ring before, but this sport’s about so much more than what goes on between the ropes. I thought when I broke Chuck Taylor’s neck, one of two things would happen: Either he would turn into a shaky puddle of tears, and I’d walk right over him; or he’d be backed into a corner and he’s snap back, bringing the animal out of Orange Cassidy. Neither of those two things happened, and now I see it for the first time. I don’t think he even went to the hospital with Chuck Taylor.
“He acts like he’s so sad, and that young Wheeler’s traveled down a path he doesn’t approve of, but he doesn’t care. He’s full of it. Now I see it for the first time. I can’t believe I didn’t see it before. Orange Cassidy is a snake. Cold-blooded, reptilian, unnerved. The test will be this Wednesday, when you face your beloved former student who you claim to care about. Will you strike with venomous intent? Or will you keep it clean? Cold-blooded opponent, that is a different challenge entirely, this is gonna be harder than I thought. But man, I wish I was cold-blooded. But I’m not. No. I feel everything.
“Not just the weight of the AEW World Championship, but I feel the weight of the last five years. I feel the weight of the dreams and aspirations of every single wrestler who walks through these doors. I feel the weight of everybody’s mistakes and broken promises. I feel the weight of every single AEW fan who buys a ticket and pays for parking, and takes off work, and gives us their hard-earned money, and time, and energy, because AEW is something they believe in! What AEW could be! You don’t like the way I do things? November 23rd, you’re gonna have a chance.
“Lop my head off. Let it hit the dirt and roll at your feet. Reach down and pick up that crown, put it on your head. See if you like how it feels. At Full Gear, I smear Orange Cassidy’s blood on our flag, and I plant it in the ground so hard, it will never get moved. You wanna ride with me? You wanna ride in MY AEW? We ride into battle every single day to grab pro-wrestling by the balls, and you better be ready to die on your shield every single day! And if you’re not, get out. Or you will get taken out.” The Maniac has issued his ultimatum, will Freshly Squeezed heed it?
AEW Collision wraps with the November to Remember music video.
Set to November Rain by Guns ‘n’ Roses, we look back even as far as the last time Jon Moxley and Orange Cassidy feuded, which included their battle over the AEW International Championship at Full Gear 2023. There are also highlights to hype up the TNT Championship match of Jack Perry VS Daniel Garcia, and the long-awaited grudge match between Jay White and Hangman Page. Who will truly make this a November to Remember when they stand tall in the November rain?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision, and I forgot that this counts as the go-home Collision with Full Gear next week. The music video recap package to end the show is really well done, and makes a good ending moment, but then it makes other promos a little redundant. Honestly, why not wait to use this as the cold open to Full Gear next Saturday? This would be an awesome PPV opening video. And good closing promo from Moxley, with good spin on Cassidy’s aloof nature. Maybe Cassidy’s cold, or maybe he’s in control of his emotions. I suppose Cassidy VS Yuta on Dynamite will give some of that away.
Great stuff with the TNT Championship story. Garcia VS Johnny was a really good match, even with MXM getting involved. Perry abducting Menard in an attempt to tow him behind the bus was wild, but I like how Garcia turned the tables on Perry. I kinda wish we got a little more of their “joyride” through Albany and New York, but maybe we get more of that on Dynamite. Either way, it feels like Garcia already has the “standing tall” part of the go-home math, meaning he loses at Full Gear. Maybe Perry will cheat his way out of the match so that Garcia can still be strong in defeat.
Really good match from Shelton and Komander but of course Shelton won. Good promo from Hurt Syndicate with The Acclaimed to keep up the recruit tease, and very good match from Acclaimed VS LFI. Good win for The Acclaimed, and you can bet that the Fatal 4 Way will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Caster was even distancing himself in his own way here, with not wanting to scissor finger before the match and other little details. Caster can turn on Bowens and join the Hurt Syndicate to start on a singles championship story with them. Lio Rush likely will, too, given his promo.
Very good promo from Conglomeration to hype up Thanksgiving Eve and the ROH World Championship match of Ishii VS Jericho. Still doesn’t feel like Jericho’s losing, though, as he really only just got the title and there’s still this idea of Jericho being responsible for ROH getting a TV deal. Y’know, the same way he’s kayfabe responsible for Collision happening so that he could be on another show separate from… Whoever he was feuding with back then. Very good promo from Roddy to call out MJF, though he literally says he’ll talk more on Dynamite so what was the point of tonight? Just filling time?
Great match for Hobbs to get back on a winning track in singles action, and the “All Star 8 Man” on Wednesday will be great stuff. I feel like Brian Cage or Lance Archer takes the loss in that match, giving momentum to Ricochet and Ospreay going into each of the Full Gear grudge matches. With that, Ricochet maybe pulls off the International Championship win, but Ospreay probably does not win because of Don Callis Family cheating. As for Hobbs himself, The Continental Classic is coming, maybe he gets in on that and really dominates. Hobbs and Okada would be a lot of fun to see, I kinda hope we get that.
Great opener from Mina VS Harley as Harley continues to build her in-ring skill and impress. I like Mina kinda dodging the question about titles here in AEW, because she doesn’t wanna give away that she wants THE AEW Women’s World Championship. Mariah VS Anna was a great main event, they really busted out some good stuff. Mariah using the hair spray was a very clever way to turn things around and help her win. Mariah and Mina having their celebration on Full Gear, I feel like that’s the moment things go sideways in this friendship.

Hikaru Shida VS Leila Grey!
The Shining Samurai continues her comeback, looking to carve a path back to a championship. But the Top Flight Attendant only just called out the ROH Women’s World Champion, Athena, last night on ROH TV. Will Leila be flying high towards her Proving Grounds match with The Fallen Goddess? Or will Shida use Leila as just another tune-up?
The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. The two tie up, Leila wrenches and wristlocks to YANK the arm. Leila keeps on the wristlock but Shida handsprings and wrenches back. Shida hammerlocks, headlocks, but Leila fires body shots. Leila powers up and out, but Shida runs Leila over! The fans fire up, and things keep moving. Shida rolls over Leila’s dropdown, then bypasses Leila. Leila stops the hip toss to fire body shots and knees! Leila goes to run but Shida reels her in. Shida lifts with the waistlock, and she swings Leila around, before the SLAM! The fans fire up with Shida and she goes outside.
Shida brings Leila to the apron, CLUBS her, then lines up a shot. Shida runs in to KNEE LIFT! The fans fire up again and Shida hurries back in.

Leila KICKS high, then kicks a leg out, to run and SHOTGUN! Shida tumbles, Leila covers, TWO! Shida stays in this but Leila stays on her. Leila bumps Shida off buckles, then she runs Shida side to side to bump off more buckles. Leila CHOPS and the fans “WOO~!” Leila smiles and puts some stank on the CHOP!
Leila swings but Shida dodges the third chop, to ROCK Leila! Shida whips, Leila reverses, and Leila SHINING WIZARDS in the corner! Then BULLDOG! Cover, TWO! Shida is tougher than that but Leila stalks her. The fans rally up, Leila brings Shida around, and Leila fires a forearm! Shida fires one in return! Leila fires again, but Shida ROCKS Leila! Leila ROCKS Shida! The fans rally up and Shida feeds off the energy. Shida fires forearm after forearm, but Leila takes a swing! Shida dodges, wrenches, and short arm LARIATS!

Shida suplexes for the FALCON ARROW! Cover, Shida wins!
Winner: Hikaru Shida, by pinfall
Leila kicks at 3.1, that’s too little too late! Will Leila at least last ten minutes against Athena next week? Will Shida be the one poised for a title shot after Full Gear?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee Paquette is with the crazy Aussie, who keeps pawing at her, and brings up the match Harley’s made for Collision with Mina Shirakawa. Harley asks Renee, does she know what Mina has that Harley doesn’t? No, what is it? NOTHING!! Mina is beautiful, charismatic, and talented. But can she do THIS?! Harley brings out a guitar and starts to play! Harley was a musician, y’know. Oh, wait, there’s a string missing. Never mind, she’s professional! Harley starts adlibbing a Blues-esque song. There once was a little girl. And by “little,” Harley doesn’t mean young child, she means just small in stature.
Anyway, and a five, six, seven, eight! Renee stops Harley there, there’s no time. What?! No! FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAM- The cameras cut away back to ringside, but will Harley show Mina and the world everything she’s capable of tomorrow night on Collision?
Mark Briscoe VS Ariya Daivari w/ Mark Sterling!
While Chris Jericho keeps disrespecting the legacy of Jay Briscoe, it will be Tomohiro Ishii that handles him. Tonight, the Sussex County Chicken is to focus on himself and the Premier Athletes’ son of privilege. “Smart” Mark takes over introductions by saying Ariya Daivari is about to wrestle “literally the dumbest person in AEW.” Mark is so stupid, really. So please, show the world that Bridgeport is smarter than a Briscoe by reading what is right on the Premier Athletes’ brand new merch shirt: Athletes Rule. Daivari says when he says “Athletes,” the fans should say, “Rule!” and NOTHING ELSE! Got it!?
Okay, hands in. Ohhh… “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Briscoe laughs because the only dumb Mark here is Mark Sterling. But will Briscoe prove that what matters in the ring is street smarts? Or can Daivari prove that Premier Athletes don’t suck?
The bell rings and Briscoe circles with Daivari. They tie up as fans rally, and Briscoe pushes Daivari back. Daivari turns things around to put Briscoe in a corner, and lets off as the ref counts. Daivari shouts, “ATHLETES!” but fans again shout “SUCK!!” Briscoe SHOVES Daivari down and the fans fire up. Briscoe and Daivari circle, tie up, and Briscoe headlocks. Daivari powers up and out, but Briscoe runs him over! The fans fire up and things keep moving. Daivari drops down, Briscoe slides under, and then Briscoe REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUTS! And ROLLING ELBOWS! The fans fire up more while sterling protests.
Briscoe whips Daivari, then UPPERCUTS again! The fans fire up as Daivari goes to a corner. Briscoe storms up to bring Daivari around, for a suplex high and hard! Cover, TWO! Daivari is tougher than that so Briscoe shrugs it off. Briscoe fires hands, Daivari staggers around, but Briscoe CHOPS him in a corner! Briscoe then REDNECK CRANE KICKS! The fans fire up and Briscoe brings Daivari up, but Daivari JAWBREAKERS back! Daivari TOSSES Briscoe out, but the ref has Sterling stay back. Daivari goes out to get Briscoe, but Briscoe sends Daivari into railing! The fans fire up while Daivari writhes, and Briscoe stands him up.
Briscoe CHOPS Daivari, high-fives fans, then CHOPS Daivari again. Briscoe then brings Daivari around to SMACK off a chair! The fans fire up as Briscoe makes Daivari take a seat. Briscoe refreshes the count, then runs up to BOOT Daivari down! The fans fire up more, and Briscoe UPPERCUTS Daivari again. Daivari goes to more railing but Briscoe CHOPS him down again. Briscoe tosses a chair into the ring, HEADBUTTS Daivari, then slides into the ring. Briscoe sets up the chair and the fans fire up! Sterling panics as Briscoe builds speed, so Sterling snatches the chair away! The fans boo but Briscoe goes out after Sterling!
Sterling defends his innocence but Daivari CLUBS Briscoe! And hits a NECKBREAKER on the floor! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Well, clearly Sterling doesn’t learn, but Daivari is control as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Daivari drags Briscoe up and into the ring, then grabs the legs, so he can stomp Briscoe’s gut! Briscoe sputters his way to a corner but Daivari digs his boots in! The ref counts, Sterling cheers, but Daivari lets off. Daivari argues with the ref, so Sterling CHOKES Briscoe! The fans boo but Sterling gets away with it. Daivari whips Briscoe hard into a corner! Briscoe sits down, and Daivari stomps him some more! Daivari snapmares Briscoe, KNEES him in the back, then clamps on a neck wrench. The ref reprimands the fishhook in there, but Daivari shifts to a chinlock. Daivari grinds Briscoe down, but Briscoe endures.
Fans rally up and Briscoe fights to his feet. Rampage returns to single picture as Briscoe fires body shots! Briscoe fires forearms but Daivari knees low! Daivari CLAWS Briscoe’s face, puts him in a corner, then hoists him up top. The fans rally for “DEM BOYS! DEM BOYS!” but Daivari CHOPS Briscoe. Daivari climbs up, brings Briscoe up, but Briscoe fires body shots! Briscoe DECKS Daivari, the fans fire up, but Sterling springs into action! The ref reprimands, Sterling argues with him, and Daivari runs up! Briscoe leaps over Daivari, but Daivari dodges the boot! SLEEPER! The fans boo but Briscoe RAMS Daivari into a corner!
Daivari holds on but Briscoe RAMS him in again and again! Briscoe is finally free, but Daivari then hammerlocks! LION’S LARIAT! And then a wrench, spin, LION’S DDT! Cover, TWO!! Briscoe survives Daivari’s double down and the fans fire up! Daivari throws hands but Briscoe feeds off it! The fans fire up as Briscoe mans up!

Briscoe wobbles, but he eggs Daivari on! Daivari runs up, into a ROLLING DEATH VALLEY! Daivari is down and Briscoe climbs up!
Sterling distracts Briscoe, and Daivari has time to hit the ropes! That trips Briscoe up! Briscoe tumbles to the m at, and Daivari hauls Briscoe up. Wait, Daivari underhooks the arms?! That’s blasphemy! But Briscoe powers up and out with a backdrop! And now Briscoe brings Daivari in, only for Sterling to get on the apron! The ref reprimands, Briscoe warns Sterling, but it’s ROCKY ROMERO that YANKS Sterling down! Daivari whips Briscoe, Briscoe reverses to TOSS Daivari! Rocky gets Briscoe the chair! Briscoe sets it up, and he takes FLIGHT! Down goes Daivari & Sterling! Briscoe puts Daivari in, climbs up, FROGGY-BOW!! Cover, Briscoe wins!
Winner: Mark Briscoe, by pinfall
The Conglomeration comes through for each other again, and that helps Briscoe win! But Azucar has his own match tonight, will he be feeling even sweeter after taking on Komander?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!

Rocky brings Komander into a waistlock, but shoves him to ropes to ROCK him in the back! Komander drops to his knees, but Rocky stands him up. Rocky shoves and ROCKS Komander again! Cover, TWO! Komander stays tough but Rampage goes to break.
Rampage returns and the fans fire up for Komander as he goes up, up, salutes, and ARIHARA MOONSAULTS Rocky down! The fans fire up and MVP is impressed. Komander puts Rocky in, the fans rally behind “KO-MAN-DER!” But Rocky intercepts the flight for a fireman’s carry! Komander slips free, suplexes, but Rocky slips free. Rocky shoves but Komander DROPKICKS! The fans fire up and Komander runs corner to corner to go up and up, MOONSAULT, into BOOTS! Komander staggers, into SLICED BREAD! Cover, TWO! Rocky is frustrated but he hurries to bring Komander back up. Rocky whips, but Komander tiger feints and rolls!
Komander goes up and has Rocky with a dragon sleeper! Inverted suplex, for a POWERSLAM into the corner!! The fans fire up as Komander sets Rocky in the drop zone. Komander climbs, tightrope walks, CIELITO LINDO!! Cover, Komander wins!
Winner: Komander, by pinfall
MVP nods, maybe he saw things not even he expected out of this match. Will Komander prove he’s not just worthy of MVP’s attention but of AEW’s attention? And with it, perhaps a title opportunity?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Lexy Nair is with The Queenslayer and notes her AEW Women’s World Championship match set for Collision tomorrow night. It is No Disqualifications, and if Anna wins, she is the NEW champion. But if she loses… Anna will never challenge Mariah May for the title again. Anna says it is worth that risk. It is worth seeing Mariah’s eyes bulging out of her head until she passes out. With no rules, Anna is capable of anything. But in steps Taya Valkyrie, applauding and saying yes, Anna is capable of anything. But so is Mariah. And Mina Shirakawa could be anywhere. Maybe Anna wants some extra insurance? And by the way, The Vendetta does accept cash.
Anna says she can handle her business, so Taya can mind her own. Taya tells Anna okay, okay. But Deonna Purrazzo sends her regards. Stay safe out there. Anna says no, she won’t. Will Anna finally be The Star of the Show when she tears down Mariah? Or will The Virtuosa & La Wera Loca have something to say about that?
Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Dralistico VS Alex Price & Richard Holliday!
Just 24 hours ahead of their Collision with The Acclaimed, La Faccion Ingobernable’s two bulls are looking to stampede! Will they be more than ready for the Full Gear Contenders Series?
The teams sort out and Mortos starts against Price, and just CLBOBERS him at the bell! Mortos keeps moving, Price drops then jumps, but into a SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans fire up and Mortos SMACKS Price! Mortos whips Price, Price ducks ‘n’ dodges, then goes up and over! Price DROPKICKS, DROPKICKS, and fires up! But then Mortos POP-UP SAMOAN DROPS him! Tag to Rush, and El Toro Blanco looms over Price. Rush stands Price up to CHOP him down! Rush eggs Holliday on, then SPITS at him! The fans boo but Price tags Holliday. Holliday steps to Rush, but Rush shoves him! Holliday UPPERCUTS!
The fans fire up but Rush CHOPS! Rush pie faces Holliday but Holliday fires up! Only for Rush to whip him into a corner and SPLASH! Snapmare and basement DROPKICK! Holliday bails out but Rush pursues. Rush CHOPS, then throws Holliday into railing. Rush dribbles Holliday off the railing, rains down fists, but the ref counts. Rush says leave him alone, but the ref warns him. Rush stops, then he puts Holliday in the ring. Rush snarls and storms back into the ring. Mortos CHOKES Holliday, the ref reprimands, but this lets Dralistico throw Price into steel steps! Rush whips Holliday corner to corner hard!
Rush DECKS Holliday with a forearm, stomps away on him, and goes corner to corner! “If you mess with the bull…!” BULL’S HORNS! Cover, LFI wins!
Winners: Rush & The Beast Mortos, by pinfall
This probably could’ve been over soon, but LFI likes to play with their food. But will they be much more to the point against Max Caster & Anthony Bowens?
Backstage interview with MVP.
Lexy is with Montel Vontavious Porter and brings up how he’s been watching matches here and there. Is he scouting talent? Absolutely! And as he’s been getting the lay of the land here in AEW, MVP sees so many young and gifted athletes with so much untapped potential. Some of them need motivation. Some need perhaps better management. And some just need to be hurt, beaten down again and again, to their knees. Because only when you’ve broken a man down to his knees can you teach him to stand and put him on the path to success. MVP says Swerve Strickland is a perfect example. So much to learn and yet he just won’t listen.
That is arrogance. It is that arrogance that the fans love, but it is also Swerve’s greatest weakness. Swerve thinks that one man can beat three. That is arrogance. Swerve calls himself the most dangerous man in AEW. With Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin around, that is arrogance. And arrogance, like pride, goeth before the fall. So MVP is paying attention to everything. For example, tonight, where MVP will be watching Ricochet in the main event. Oh, and that young luchador, Komander, what an impressive match. MVP likes that. And then tomorrow night on Collision, Shelton will find out exactly what Komander is made of, and what lessons he needs to learn.
The business plan has been set out, but will The Hurt Syndicate find the diamonds in the rough they are looking for? Or is it all fool’s gold compared to what they already have?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!

Ricochet VS Dante Martin!
MVP just told the world he is watching this match, but surely so is The Don Callis Family. Will The One & Only show them something #OuttaThisWorld? Or will Angel Dorado remind us why he was the hottest high flyer not too long ago?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Ricochet and Dante shake hands to show there is respect here. They circle, tie up, and Ricochet headlocks for a takeover. Dante headscissors but Ricochet moves around, rolls Dante, then floats to a headlock. Dante fights back up, but Ricochet wrenches to wristlock. Dante goes for ropes but Ricochet keeps him back. Ricochet continues to keep Dante from the ropes, so Dante just front flips on his own! Dante arm-drags free and the fans fire up! Dante and Ricochet hurry to their feet, but Dante knees low! Dante whips but Ricochet blocks and reels Dante in for a back suplex, only for Dante to land on his feet!
Dante bobs ‘n’ weaves, shoves Ricochet, but Ricochet avoids the dropkick! Jackknife bridge, TWO as Dante bridges up! Dante spins Ricochet, but Ricochet turns that to a backslide! TWO, and Ricochet whips. Dante leaps for a sunset flip! Ricochet stays up, tucks Dante for a sunset flip of his own, TWO! Dante swings, Ricochet dodges and rolls back to RANA, but both men get up! Ricochet DROPKICKS Dante down and the fans fire up! We get a shot of MVP once again liking what he sees. Dante goes to a corner, Ricochet runs up, but Dante slips out! Ricochet hits buckles, then Dante goes up, around, and ROCKS Ricochet!
Dante aims but Ricochet runs up. Dante jumps over as Ricochet slides out, and then Dante ASAI MOONSAULTS! Ricochet avoids it, Dante lands on his feet, and now Ricochet goes up a corner to MOONSAULT! Dante dodges and he JUMP KNEES! Ricochet sputters as he leans against the apron, and Dante slides in. Dante keeps moving, but Ricochet springboards! Dante ducks under, runs at Ricochet, but Ricochet goes up and over! Dante puts Ricochet on the apron but Ricochet ENZIGIRIS! Ricochet springboards again, FLYING LARIAT! Cover, TWO!

Cover, Ricochet wins!
Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall
MVP nods, very impressed by The One & Only Ricochet. Ricochet’s arsenal certainly continues to grow, but he still shows respect to Dante. Will this momentum help Ricochet’s team take down The Don Callis Family this Wednesday Night Dynamite?
My Thoughts:
A very good Rampage, even with it being a five match night. Granted, it was clear Shida was going to win her match and LFI were going to win theirs. Well, so was Briscoe, but it was good stuff with Daivari getting a good showing and Rocky cancelling out Sterling so Briscoe would win. Great match from Rocky and Komander, too, and great win for Komander. Though, as MVP plugged in his promo, Komander is certainly losing to Shelton Benjamin, but I do appreciate the idea that anyone just floating around in the midcard could end up Hurt Syndicate material.
Ricochet VS Dante was a great main event, Ricochet of course won, but between being on Team Ospreay for Dynamite and Hurt Syndicate not leaving him alone, there are all kinds of possibilities for Ricochet. And great promos to hype up the two women’s matches we’re getting on Collision. That’s right, we’re getting two women’s matches! Harley continues to be hilarious, and I like this gag that she never has enough time to get her full madness out. Very good promo from Anna with Taya making a surprise appearance. Given Mariah is more than likely to win tomorrow night, Anna needs something outside of titles so I suppose a feud with The Vendetta could be something. Maybe it’s also a way to bring Tay Conti/Tay Melo back into story since it’d be a tag team feud?
My Score: 8.7/10
