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 RANA 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!!
Kyle Fletcher mugs Adam Cole, Mark Davis is after MJF! But Cole & MJF turn it around! Fans fire up as Aussie Open get some American mudholes stomped in them! 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?

Sonjay fires off with a 2-by-4 on Hardy Party! The tides turn again as Triple J beats up on Hardy Party in the shadows and in the light! This starts spilling out to the main arena! Lethal & Jarrett mug Jeff Hardy but Ethan helps him out! They start going onto spare road cases now! The brawl of both factions continues, and Lethal gets mugged!

A chainsaw!?

Dynamite goes picture in picture as Bunny steps back in. Britt is in the corner, Bunny hits a SLIDING FOREARM! Bunny laughs, then throws back elbows into Britt! 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! That is to say, it will be a tiebreaker at All In, truly crowning THE BEST tag team in AEW! But first, Austin & Colten want to prove who is the best brother tag team! Will the Ass Boys ruin the Superkick Party? Or will they just end up the best tune-up tag team in AEW?
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! Nick joins in, this is the Bucks getting back at Bullet Club Gold for attacking Kenny! Fans fire up as this brawl goes to ringside, Austin elbows Nick and whips him into railing! Colten sends Matt into railings on the other side, then pushes Nick into the ring. Colten slides in, the bell rings, and fans taunt the “ASS~ BOYS!” Colten is annoyed, he kicks Nick then whips, but Matt sneaks a tag.
Nick hurdles over Colten but Colten kicks him first. Colten reels Nick in, Matt saves Nick from the suplex and the Bucks double kick to DOUBLE SUPLEX! Austin runs in, but the Bucks DOUBLE HIP TOSS him onto Colten! The Gunns stagger up, into DOUBLE DROPKICKS! The Gunns are in opposite corners, so the Bucks each take on, to rain down fists!

Austin taunts Matt, Colten tags him in, and the Gunns double whip to body shot, knee lift and LARIAT! Austin covers, TWO!

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. Austin taunts Matt, Colten pushes Matt into the ring, and Colten storms up to keep Matt from Nick.

The Bang Bang Gang stomp away on the Bucks while fans boo. White gets a chair into the ring, and they single out Matt and his bad arm! The chair is put around it, and Austin CHOKES Nick to keep him down! Juice goes up while Jay and Colten hold Matt down, but here comes FTR!

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

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

She will join ROH’s Athena, CMLL’s Persephone, and a Stardom star yet to be determined, who will bring home that International Women’s Cup, and the title match promise that comes with it?

Brody King speaks.
“When I think of the Continental Classic, I think of prestige, I think of respect. Cowards take the easy way out. Ricochet, you are a coward.” Brody is referring to Ricochet exposing a top turnbuckle and then using it against Brody. Brody says, “I have no respect for you.”
Claudio Castagnoli speaks.
“Some of my colleagues, they would be angry that they lost. I’m also not losing sight of the bigger picture. They would trade victory for success. They would rather win 100 matches than win the war.”
Strong words from two of the physically strongest men in this tournament, but to Claudio’s point, the war is not over as the round robin continues on. Will either Brody or Claudio make comebacks before we reach Worlds End?

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

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

Will Garcia make his way out of the league to head for the Continental Championship? Will Cassidy overcome the Fatal 4 Way odds to finally be THE AEW World Champion?
Don Callis speaks.
“I had a bad night last night. A couple of turncoats who used to be under my employ, ‘Powerhouse’ Hobbs and Mark Davis, did a little switcharoo, a little number on the Don Callis Family. I woke up today with a hole in my heart because of that, but then I got fantastic news. The gods have smiled upon me because I am getting, in two week’s time, at Worlds End, I am getting my revenge on Powerhouse Hobbs. That’s right, a match against the Alpha, Konosuke Takeshita, has been granted. And it’s in two weeks at Worlds End, and I can’t wait.
‘If you thought everything was coming up the Don Callis Family, I’ve got one more thing to be excited about! Kyle Fletcher is getting ready right now to be in the main event tonight! And run the table and mathematically ensure that he goes on to Worlds End and then wins the Continental Championship, when he beats that degenerate, Mark Briscoe tonight on Collision. That is why the Don Callis Family is the true one percenters of professional wrestling. And you’re gonna see it tonight, and you’re gonna see it at Worlds End. And Hobbs, I’m gonna send you right back to the unemployment line.” Callis has made his promises, but will Konosuke and Kyle be able to keep them?
AEW Continental Classic, Blue League: Kyle Fletcher VS Mark Briscoe!
The Protostar is already 3-0 with 9 points, the standalone leader of this block. But will he solidify that position as Blue League’s number one seed? Or will the Aussie Arrow completely miss hitting the Sussex County Chicken?

Literally last minute, and the Sussex County Chicken snatches victory from the jaws of defeat! Callis is very upset by this upset victory, and now Mark has new life in the C2! Cassidy & Willow come out to celebrate with him, could Mark make himself one of the semifinalists going into Worlds End?
The Death Riders have hijacked a camera!
Jon Moxley checks if they’re rolling, and Wheeler Yuta says yeah, it’s rolling. He knows how to work that thing? Yeah. Moxley says FTR are about to get lost on their way home tonight. Oh, here they come. The Death Riders watch as Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood walk through the backstage area. Then Marina Shafir stands in their way. Claudio & Pac snatch FTR with blindfold bags! FTR fights but Moxley helps outnumber the #TopGuys, and they drag FTR out to the parking lot. Yuta keeps the camera on him as he smiles and laughs at the carnage happening just on the other side of the wall. Will the Death Riders personally see to it that there is NO ONE to stand against them?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here to wrap Winter is Coming Week, and I do appreciate they’re trying to get more and more people into the Death Rider story, as they should. To that end, good promo from Darby and Ospreay to try and get Ospreay to consider his part in all this. I get Ospreay’s side, he just wants to wrestle, win, and become champion again, but considering Claudio is in Gold League with him, he could end up a target, compelling Ospreay to join the fight. And quite the closing moment, with Death Riders going after FTR because they saved Cassidy from their attack. It’ll be quite the AEW Justice League moment when names like Cassidy, FTR, Ospreay and a few others stand against The Death Riders. And I say Justice League because DC Comics is Warner Brothers Discovery, too.
Speaking of the Continental Classic, awesome matches tonight for Blue League. Mortos was of course losing to Okada but he looked great against the champ. Good promo from Callis to hype up both the International Championship match of Konosuke VS Hobbs and tonight’s main event, and what an awesome win for Mark Briscoe. Kyle is leading at 9, but Okada is second at 7 and Mark is third at 6, and things could really get wild in the last round of Blue League competition. I feel like it should still come down to Okada and Kyle because Okada is the champ and should have a chance at defending his belt, and Kyle could potentially face Ospreay again.
Great 10 Man Tag from Garcia, Komander, Cassidy & Outrunners VS Premier Athletes & MXM, but it was clearly all for the fun so that the fans could stay energized during these long tapings. Good squash match win for Kris Statlander, but I feel like Lynn didn’t sell being held up for a 20+ stalling suplex much at all. Equally good squash match win for Toni Storm, and I absolutely LOVE that Toni Storm is pretending this is her first time in AEW. She got reset to her old persona so apparently that came with a memory reset, that is brilliant. Very good promo Mariah, and a very good promo from Rosa, including Toni’s part. A Tijuana Street Fight for the title, and it keeps both women strong no matter who wins.
Great tag match of Top Flight VS Lio & Action, but also a great use of Leila as a distraction in the wrong way. I almost thought she was going to turn and join Lio & Action, but Leila’s done fairly well as a Face now so I feel like she’ll stay a Face. She could easily just give a promo about how Lio & Action didn’t care about her and that’s why she sticks with Dante & Darius. Private Party VS Lio & Action is going to be a great, but I would think Quen & Kassidy win out. And then great International Women’s Cup Qualifier from Willow VS Hayter. Willow was the natural choice given her accolades.
And while it’s great for Julia to return in person, AEW sure fumbled it. The lights went out during the match, aka way too early, and then I don’t think she did a good job choosing elbow gloves. Those things were falling down the whole time, it looked more like she had a big scrunchy wristband. But hey, Hayter VS Hart in a House Rules match for Worlds End would be great for them both, and it’d be quite the way for Hart to get a return win.
My Score: 8.9/10

Deonna doesn’t let go! She makes Shazza pay for lasting even this long! Deonna then lets go to revel in her victory. Will anyone stop The Vendetta from rising up the ranks?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Alex Marvez welcomes #BornAgainKristen and says it is great to see her back again, for the first time since Full Gear. That match with Mercedes Mone was perhaps one of the best matches in the history of the AEW Women’s Division, but seeing as she lost, where does Kris go from here? Kris says she has not stopped thinking about that match. Actually, it feels like Mone hasn’t, either. It seems like Mone won’t stop talking about it. And to give Mone credit, Mone is everything she says she is. Kris came out of that match pretty beat up, so her next step forward is just to keep moving forward.
Kris always moves forward, and that is why she is going to compete tomorrow night on Collision. She’d wrestle again the next night, and the next night, and the next night if she could. She’ll be at Holiday Bash this Wednesday to watch the TBS Championship match, Mone VS Anna Jay. Whoever comes out on top, they should know that Kris has unfinished business with that title. Kris heads out, will she find a way to be the Face of TBS once again?
PROGRAMMING NOTE for Christmas Collision!
Firstly, don’t be fooled, Collision is still on Saturday, December 21st. BUT it will be live coast to coast, 8 PM Eastern, 5 PM Pacific, immediately following TNT’s coverage of the NCAA College Football Playoffs. Make sure your DVRs are set accordingly so your Collision can be merry and bright!
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He welcomes us back to Rampage, and he welcomes out ahead of tonight’s main event some of the greatest athletes in the world today, the Don Callis Family! Fans boo as creepy Callus leads the way out for his Alpha, his Murderhawk Monster, and his Protostar. Konosuke Takeshita, Lance Archer & Kyle Fletcher stand with Don Callis and Schiavone in the ring, and Schiavone speaks to Callis that going just off the reaction from the fans, we all know what they think of Callis and his “family.” Callis grabs the mic to say, “I have something important to say. I know you’re very shocked by how we conduct our business, but what business do you think you’re, Schiavone?
“Because I’m in the getting-over-and-making-money business! So is Kyle! So is Takeshita! So is Archer! You don’t believe me? The Murder Machines is the most feared tag team in the history of this company! Takeshita is the best bell-to-bell International champion we’ve ever had. And that brings me to the Protostar, Kyle Fletcher.” The fans boo more but Callis will remind us that “there was a guy running around here who everyone thought was the greatest wrestler they’d ever seen! And his name was Will Ospreay! That was until Will Ospreay got in the ring with Kyle Fletcher! And Kyle Fletcher, Will, he didn’t just beat you. He dominated you!”
The fans boo more as Callis says Kyle put Ospreay down! Ospreay will never be the same. So as he sits home, watching the Callis Family bask in their glory, here’s a question for Ospreay: How does it feel, bruv? The fans boo more, but Callis says, “Wait, it gets better! Just a few short days later, he (Kyle) did the impossible! He got in the ring with a man who has been called, correctly I might add, ‘The greatest tournament wrestler ever,’ Kazuchika Okada. And he BEAT Okada! So Okada, as you sit home and watch us, I’ve got a question for you! How does it feel, b*tch? Tell ’em, Kyle!”
Callis hands the mic over and the fans boo more. Kyle takes off his sunglasses, but he waits as the fans keep booing. “Kansas City, you can boo me as much as you want. You can cheer for that BUM, Ospreay! But it changes absolutely nothing. I am 25-years-old, I have a watch on my wrist that costs more than the car you drive, and I will be the winner of the Continental Classic. So tomorrow night on Collision, Mark Briscoe, I hope you bring more than your Redneck Kung-Fu. Because winning this tournament is my destiny! And nobody gets in the way of me and my destiny.” The fans boo more but Callis gets the mic back.
Callis says one thing is very obvious to him: The Don Callis Family are the ONE PERCENTERS of AEW! And because they’re the One Percent, Callis can say this: there is no one in the back big enough and bad enough to get in the ring with them. But guess what? Here comes “P-P-P-POWERHOUSE!” The fans fire up as Will Hobbs makes his way out, and he’s bringing Dunkzilla with him! Will the Don Callis Family regret ever leaving Hobbs behind?
“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs & Mark Davis VS Konosuke Takeshita & Lance Archer!

My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here, great builds in a lot of stuff, and while there was word that those inside AEW thought this was a waste of Toni Storm’s in-ring return, the match we got was really good. Harley had a good little song to advertise the AEW holiday sale, and had a great showing against Toni, but of course Toni wins tonight. She’ll definitely win tomorrow night, too, but I like that she’s facing another Australian wrestler. This is almost like early hype for Grand Slam: Australia in February. Deonna beat Shazza tonight, decent stuff, but the sooner they get going on The Vendetta targeting Anna Jay the better so that The Vendetta actually has a story.
Actually, I think I said it before but the Vendetta story could be them joining Mercedes Mone, revealing themselves as the ones who attacked Kamille. Then those three take on Kamille, Anna Jay, and Kris Statlander in a Six Woman Tag. Speaking of, good promo from Kris Statlander, and her wanting after the TBS title again is a natural move. She’s gotta bide time while the AEW Women’s World Championship story unfolds, and she’s not downgrading to ROH, she is not that far out of the running. That Six Woman Tag could even lead to a Six Pack Challenge for the title, making it much easier to get that title off Mone.
Very good match from Cardona VS Keith to open the night, but of course Cardona wins. This combined with last night’s ROH contract signing segment, Cardona has all the momentum going into Final Battle next week, so he is sadly not winning the title. Jericho still has to complete his goal of getting ROH a cable TV deal, and there is even word that there is interest, perhaps even from Warner Brother Discovery to put ROH on the other Turner network, TruTV, so who knows. Maybe Jericho retains long enough for that deal to be finalized, and then he loses on the first episode of ROH back on cable.
Good promo from Brody King, and I would think he defeats Komander to rebound from his lose to Claudio. Sorry, Komander, but you might be eating the goose egg. Very good promo from Callis and Fletcher to call out Ospreay and Okada and even Mark Briscoe. I feel like that foreshadows Ospreay and Okada making it to Worlds End as semifinalists with Fletcher. And a great main event tag match as Hobbs & Davis made a surprisingly good duo. Great win for Hobbs & Davis, too, and it establishes Hobbs VS Konosuke for the International Championship. Now, Hobbs’ chances of winning that title depend on what AEW and NJPW agree on for WrestleDynasty and Konosuke VS Shingo Takagi, but I wouldn’t mind seeing Hobbs win.
My Score: 8.8/10
