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!!

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?

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!!

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!

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

Parking Lot Brawl: Trent Beretta VS Chuck Taylor!
Years of friendship, thrown away, and why? Because #JustTrent had a problem with Freshly Squeezed having more success in AEW than them? Because #JustTrent had a problem with Cassidy as a person? Because #JustTrent turned out to be the selfish one in the relationship? Well, then will #JustTrent get his ass kicked? Or will he take advantage of how Chuckie T. is a Kentucky Gentleman?
Trent stares Chuck down while we hear the crowd of other wrestlers taunting him. Trent takes a swing, but Chuck dodges to fire off hands! The brawl is on, and Chuck gets the edge! Chuck ROCKS Trent, then SMACKS him off a car hood! And then off the car door! Chuck drags Trent up, but Trent RAMS Chuck into the car! And throat chops him just because! Trent gets space, runs back in, but Chuck dodges so Trent hits the passenger door! Chuck gets a trash can lid and he stands Trent up. Trent jumps through the open window but Chuck drags him back out. Trent kicks low, and he gives Chuck a CAR HOOD BACK SUPLEX!
Trent grabs the trash can lid, SMACKS Chuck right in the head and Chuck falls down! The crowd boos but Trent opens a car trunk to bring out a trash can, a dustpan and a baseball bat! Chuck storms up but Trent CHUCKS the trash can into Chuck’s face! Chuck flounders and Trent smirks. Trent SMACKS Chuck with the trash can, CLUBS him around, and Chuck is busted open! The white car has red polka dots on it now, and Trent talks trash, “This is what you wanted?!” Trent runs up, but Chuck POP UP POWERBOMBS Trent onto a car hood! Trent writhes, Chuck staggers around, and Chuck brings Trent around.
Chuck headlocks Trent before he SMACKS him off another car door. Trent goes around the back and then up onto a truck! Chuck follows, and he CLUBS Trent in the chest! But Trent slips under, and he CLAWS Chuck’s bloody face! Trent DECKS Chuck and Chuck falls through drywall sheets! Trent looms over Chuck as he crawls out of the wreckage. Trent stalks Chuck, brings him around and SMACKS him with the trash can lid! Trent hoists Chuck onto a car roof, SMACKS him again, then goes back to the truck. Trent climbs onto the roof of the truck, to FLYING ELBOW from car to car! Cover, TWO!!
Trent is furious, but Chuck is still in this as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Trent fumes, paces around, and goes back to the goodies. He brings out… Is that a screwdriver?! And he JABS Chuck in the head with it!! And then he DIGS it into Chuck’s forehead!! As if he wasn’t already bleeding badly!! Trent leaves Chuck behind, to fetch what looks to be a flat screen TV. Then he brings out a wood door!? Did someone visit Home Depot before coming here? Chuck CHOPS Trent in return then fires haymakers! Trent CLAWS Chuck’s face! Trent grabs that TV and CHUCKS it, only for Chuck to duck it! Rampage returns as TV screen hits windshield! Chuck kicks low to snap suplex Trent through the door!!
The crowd is losing its minds as Trent crawls. Chuck gets Trent’s legs, to CATAPULT him into the truck’s tailgate!! The crowd fires up while Chuck gets a sinister look on his face. Chuck takes a piece of that drywall to SMASH it on Trent! Chuck gets that trash can, he SMACKS Trent with it! Chuck sees the pile of extra goodies nearby, and he uncovers some light tubes! But first, he’ll clean up the mess, he SMACKS Trent with the dust pan! And SMACKS him again and again! And then one more shot with the trash can! Trent writhes, but Chuck drags Trent up. Chuck SMACKS Trent off the tailgate, then clears some space.
Chuck climbs up, but Trent ROCKET LAUNCHES him onto the light tubes!!! The tubes shatter under Chuck’s back! Trent sputters, he’s bloody now, too. Trent puts Chuck against the car hood and stands on him! Trent soaks up the heat, but Chuck TRIPS Trent! Trent writhes, Chuck reels Trent in, Canadian Rack, RAZOR’S EDGE onto a windshield!! Trent writhes while fans chant “HOLY CHUCK!” Chuck covers Trent on the hood, TWO!! Trent survives and hurries around the back of this sedan. Chuck snarls, goes up after Trent, and they meet on the roof. They’re both so bloody as they fire forearms back and forth!
The crowd cheers Chuck and boos Trent, and as the two swing wild, they end up HUGGING! You GOT to give the people what they want, right? They stand, Chuck ROCKS Trent and reels Trent in, but Trent LOW BLOWS!! Trent has Chuck now, PILEDRIVER ON THE CAR ROOF!!! And then, SNAKE BITE!! Trent is choking Chuck out!!! Chuck IS out, Trent wins!!
Winner: Trent Beretta, by submission
The Best Friends tore each other apart, but it is #JustTrent that stands tall in the end. He’s clearly lost the respect of his peers given how the other wrestlers are chanting “You Suck! You Suck!” But wait, Trent isn’t done? He has a monkey wrench!? Cassidy & Kris step forward to say no, this is going too far! Trent says this is all Cassidy’s fault! And SMASH, Trent hits Chuck’s leg with the wrench, and even shatters the glass behind it!! Chuck clutches the already recovering leg, and now Cassidy wants after Trent! Kris stops Cassidy, Trent’s still got the wrench! Trent escapes into the shadows of the arena, what darkness is living in Trent’s heart?
Don Callis is watching this.
And he seems to like the sadistic savagery he just witnessed. Trent may not have Best Friends anymore, but could he end up with a whole new family?
Backstage interview with Kyle O’Reilly.
Arkady Aura is with #CombatKyle and brings up his impressive showing in Dynamite’s Casino Gauntlet this past Wednesday. But we all want to know, what is next for her? Well, on Saturday, May 11th, AEW is coming to his hometown! Collision in Vancouver, British Columbia! The Rogers Arena, the same building an 11-year-old Kyle saw his first wrestling show ever. And at that show, Kyle told his dad that he was gonna do this one day. Papa O’Reilly said, “Oh yeah, sure you will, kid.” But somehow, Kyle pulled it off. 25 years later, he’s coming back home to do the one thing he’s ever been good at and that’s wrestling.
Kyle is going to take on the best wrestlers this world has to offer, right here in AEW, where the best wrestle. Kyle is ready for a fight, who will take him up on that in two weeks?

Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Arkady Aura is with Roderick Strong, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett as she notes Will Ospreay is the NEW #1 Contender to the AEW International Championship. Taven says hold on, before we get started here, “Not Lexy,” as three guys who care deeply about neck health, and as two guys who nursed someone from the brink of paralysis (aka Roddy), The Kingdom wishes a very speedy recovery to “the world’s greatest boss. TK, stay strong, buddy.” Roddy then shouts that “WILL… Ospreay. Congratulations, you did it! You have signed, sealed and delivered the downfall, demise and destruction of The Aerial Assassin at Double or Nothing.”
Roddy says the world can sing Ospreay’s praises, but none of that matters when you step in the ring with Roddy. Just like all the ones before, Roddy will dismantle Ospreay, he will BREAK Ospreay, and he will make Ospreay fall in front of The Savior of the Backbreaker. Roddy’s confidence is strong, but will Roddy be the one feeling the End of Heartache after taking on the #BillyGOAT?
“Big Bill” Morrissey VS Trevor Blackwell!

Winner: “Big Bill” Morrissey, by pinfall
Trev might want to change his last name to Well-done, because he got roasted. Bill wants Jericho’s guidance, does he even need it when he can do all this?

Will this momentum help Shibata avenge Hook and take that FTW Championship off of Chris Jericho? Or will The Learning Tree have some things to teach Shibata?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here, though I was oddly more excited when I thought it was just Deonna VS Rosa and the Parking Lot Brawl. But even so, at least Bill squashing a dude was used in story. He was showing off, he’ll surely have Jericho’s blessing if he helps defeat Shibata on Dynamite, but a part of me almost wants this to be all a trap. Bill was teammates with Ricky Starks in a feud against Jericho, and if Jericho is being obliviously arrogant then maybe Bill is using that against Jericho, too. But either way, let’s just hope this story helps Bill get going rather than slow him down like the #JerichoVortex has always done.
The Parking Lot Brawl was moving maybe a bit fast for me, especially with how there were some obvious spots already set up when they arrived, such as the drywall draped across the truck bed. But they surely got bloody, and in the end, Trent won out because he was willing to sink to the lowest low. And then they’ve written Chuck off again with that monkey wrench to the shin, so Cassidy VS Trent is definitely a Double or Nothing match. And something is just telling me that if Kris is gonna turn out to be the villain in the Willow Nightingale story, she’s probably gonna screw Cassidy over to help Trent, too.
Really good match from Deonna VS Rosa, and with Rosa getting a quick pin then that brawl, we’re clearly getting more out of them. Good promo from Kyle O’Reilly to hype AEW’s newest Canada tour, and good promo from The Kingdom to tie in their old Neck Health Awareness gag to the Tony Khan piledriver angle. Roddy calling out Ospreay, I would definitely think Ospreay wins the title at Double or Nothing. And really good tag main event from Shibata & Garcia VS Shane Taylor Promotions. STP keeps getting great showings even in losing, but Lee took the loss here to keep Shane himself strong. Great win for Shibata but this just adds to the go-home math where Jericho retains the FTW Championship on Dynamite.
My Score: 8.7/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Swerve Strickland is here!
Prince Nana again leads the way as the NEW AEW World Champion makes his way out here. The Realest opened Dynamite with a win, but he walks back out to Daily’s Place to stand in the ring to finally acknowledge his victory at Dynasty. Nana says, “Ladies and gentlemen, the man standing in front of you today is the Boss of Bosses! The man standing in front of you today is the Anointed One in Professional Wrestling! The man standing in front of you is one hell of a wrestler. And he’s none other than the AEW World Heavyweight Champion, Swerve Strickland!” The fans cheer and chant, “Thank You, Swerve!”
Swerve says what a week we’ve had here in AEW! Let’s run it down: a NEW TBS Champion in Willow Nightingale; by the grace of God, Adam Cole can walk; Adam Copeland got misted in the face by The House of Black; Will Ospreay and Bryan Danielson tore the house down; and then… Jack Perry returned. The fans boo but Swerve says Jack’s back in AEW, and he struck Tony Khan, the founder of AEW, who put his faith in Swerve. On top of that, The EVPs, the Young Bucks are again the AEW World Tag Team Champions, and they hit Tony Khan with the whatever it is driver, and now TK is in a neck brace and who knows when we’ll see him in healthy condition.
Now, Swerve will be the first to tell everyone, he’s done some horrible things. Once, twice, three, four times. But something about four elite athletes beating down a non-fighter in TK, that sounds like a b*tch move to him. The fans echo “B*TCH MOVE!” but Swerve wants to get to business. The most important thing that happened this week is Swerve went into Dynasty and he made history by dethroning Samoa Joe and becoming the NEW AEW World Champion! Now, a pet peeve of his is those going around calling themselves “Best in the World.” But make no mistake, the Best in the World is the one holding this title right here!
Last week, it was Samoa Joe. This week, it’s Swerve, baby. And Swerve got here by fighting, but also by making sacrifices. Swerve says the night he won this title, he went to his daughter. She said, “Dad, I love you, I’m so proud of you. But I feel like I just don’t know you.” That hit Swerve to his core. His relationship with his children is everything. But he’s missed birthdays, holidays, basketball games, dance recitals, Father-Daughter dances, and he can’t make up for lost time. But what he can do is set the example and blaze a trail, to make sure this was all worth it. The fans cheer that!
Swerve continues by saying AEW has set people in front of him and he’s knocked them all down! Kyle Fletcher was just one. Now, how about an Open Challenge for the AEW World Championship? But only to someone who really wants to fight! So how about it, Jacksonville? We’re entering a new era in AEW, the Dynasty Era! And the elite of that era is whose house? “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” But then here comes Claudio Castagnoli! The Swiss Superman is in a suit, not his gear, but he does get in the ring. Claudio circles Swerve, then takes the mic and holds up a finger. The fans still chant, but Claudio says, “You’re on.”
Swerve says see you later tonight then, in whose house? But then Claudio snatches the mic again! “It’s gonna be mine.” The fans are intrigued but Claudio is looking to end Swerve’s Dynasty the same week it started! Will the Swiss Superman bring even more gold to the Blackpool Combat Club?
Tony Khan has a medical update.
He is feeling grateful and blessed that he can still walk, talk and work, as was seen during the NFL Draft with Tony Khan alongside his father, Shahid, in the Jacksonville Jaguars war room. However, the doctors have advised TK not to travel, so he will be monitoring AEW Dynamite in Winnipeg remotely. Will that mean The EVPs will be in control of things in person this Wednesday…?
Unified AEW & ROH World Trios Championships: Bullet Club Gold VS Top Flight!

The House of Black speaks.
Brody King says they told Adam Copeland what was coming, and the match at Dynasty went exactly how they said. And what’s interesting is, Brody now has two wins over the TNT Champion.

Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.
Arkady Aura says Freshly Squeezed was attacked by #JustTrent last Dynamite, and that ultimately forced Chuck Taylor’s hand in choosing sides. The Kentucky Gentleman chose Cassidy, where is his head at right now? Cassidy knows Trent said a lot of things that Cassidy is still working through. But what is on his mind most now is that later tonight on Rampage, those two are fighting in a Parking Lot Brawl. Cassidy is afraid of what Trent and Chuck are going to do to each other. Kris Statlander walks in and tells Cassidy that “he needs us. Let’s go.” Cassidy nods and leaves with the Galaxy’s Greatest. Will Chuck’s real friends be there for him, win or lose?

Backstage interview with Serena Deeb.
Arkady Aura is now with The Professor of Professional Wrestling, and says that Deeb came out to touch the AEW Women’s World Championship. What message is Deeb looking to send? Deeb says it’s a very simple one. On one hand, we have the great champion, Toni Storm, someone everyone loves, and one of the greatest champions in this company’s history. On the other, we have the undefeated Professor, the obvious #1 contender. After everything Deeb’s been through, how hard she had to fight to get back here, failure is not an option. It is now or never!
And after four years of being told how great she is, and how she SHOULD be champion, it is time to prove it. It is time to accomplish something she has yet to do, and that is become THE AEW Women’s World Champion. Deeb tells Storm this isn’t a movie, this is real-life. And as such, will Deeb bring Storm crashing down to reality?

Backstage interview with Katsuyori Shibata.
Arkady is now with The Wrestler, and she brings up the issues with Shane Taylor Promotions. But at the same time, he is going to be challenging Chris Jericho for the FTW Championship. Any last words before that match? Shibata uses his Google Translate voice-to-text to “say” that he is going to chop down The Learning Tree and take Jericho’s title. And any plans for Shane Taylor? Shibata “says,” Rampage will see him take on STP alone. But then Daniel Garcia steps in. Garcia tells Shibata-san that he has respect for him. If Shibata needs help against STP, Garcia will help him. What does he say?
Shibata takes a moment to type it out, and says okay. Save the last dance for him. Garcia nods and dances his way off screen. Will the Dragonslayer help The Wrestler take the fight to Big Bad Shaney T. Boy?

Winner: Swerve Strickland, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
It was a shootout ’til the end, and in the end, Swerve had more ammo in his arsenal! But he still shows Claudio respect by offering a handshake. Claudio stands, and he shakes Swerve’s hand. The Realest is rolling on, but who will look to go Double or Nothing with him in just one month’s time?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision, even with it having to be slightly delayed by NBA Playoffs. There was criticism out there that Swerve didn’t get a chance to talk on Dynamite, but he still had a really good promo to open Collision, and it worked better that he’d be able to reference the attack on Tony Khan from Dynamite. Swerve subtly calls out a lot of wrestlers within AEW, and technically some outside of AEW, by saying he doesn’t like people just calling themselves “Best in the World.” He and Claudio had an awesome main event match, though maybe a false finish too many. Swerve of course retained, and can’t wait to see who a now EVP dominated AEW chooses as Swerve’s opponent. It would be hilariously corrupt of The Bucks to make it Jack Perry.
Great Six Man title match tonight, solid first defense for Bang Bang Gang. Great tag match from Acclaimed with Grizzled Young Veterans, but it makes sense Acclaimed would win as the AEW home team. I’m just not sure where Acclaimed go from here other than Billy Gunn saying they can return to the tag division and challenge The Bucks. After all, FTR got pretty banged up in the ladder match and it’d be a bit soon for them to get a rematch against The Bucks. Swerve could team up with The Acclaimed if they’re all going to target The Elite, and vice-versa, going towards Double or Nothing.
Great return matches for Rey Fenix and Rush, but I didn’t think Rush would just do a squash match. Fenix, Pac and Penta all being healthy at the same time, Death Triangle going for the trios titles? Lucha Bros going for tag titles? And I’m really hoping LFI truly gets going here in AEW, also going for the trios titles or something like that. Really good promo from Cassidy with Kris and then Cassidy with Chuck to hype up the Parking Lot Brawl, that thing is gonna kick off Rampage and be wild stuff. Good promo from House of Black to call out Edge, but you can bet this won’t be the only time they go for the TNT Championship. Edge will surely beat Buddy or Brody, and then it’s Malakai challenging at Double or Nothing.
Good promo from Shibata and Garcia to set up a tag match for Rampage, that’ll be great stuff. Good interview promo for Deeb, though it doesn’t add all that much from everything else she’s said to this point. Storm VS Anna was a very good match, and of course Storm won. No Mina showing up was a little surprising, but there’s plenty of time to build the mentor love triangle. Deeb VS Storm will be great stuff, and depending on how they play this, there’s half a chance Deeb wins because Storm will end up preoccupied with Mina and Mariah being so close. Deeb can take the title and face Deonna, Rosa, and a number of others while Storm and Mina fight over Mariah quite literally.
My Score: 8.8/10
