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!!

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!!

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.

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

Renee Paquette is with all four women in a familiar situation, and thanks them all for accepting the No Physicality Agreement. Renee understands Shida has something to say. Shida says yes! Shida again says she is so sorry, Stat, and that she will make it up to her! That’s why Shida got Kris another tag match! But against THESE TWO!

Shida says enough, Harley! You don’t even deserve to touch the kendo stick! Shida then uses Japanese to hide her comments about Harley & Mina having nothing but bosoms.
Mina says enough! Stat, how can you still trust Shida? How can you give her another chance? And… Where was Kris the night Toni was attacked? Shida says enough about Toni! Harley tries to reason with Kris, but Kris storms off. So is that a yes to the match?

Hook soaks up more heat as he swaggers around the way, but the ref checks Knight. Knight rises up but the ref has Hook stay back. That just lets Shibata DUMP Knight to ringside! And even stomp him! Hook argues with the ref as a further distraction so Shibata can stand Knight up. Hook KNEES Knight, then whips him hard into railing! Hook CLUBS Knight, soaks up heat, then goes to the ring.

Shibata is worried but Knight grins. Knight says this is for Shibata-sensei! HYDRAULIC DROPKICK! The fans cheer Knight using Shibata’s signature, and that just pisses Shibata off!

Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
Hook tried to take this title, even had Shibata-sensei there to tip the scales, but it just wasn’t enough to stop The Jet from taking off! But will Knight soon make himself a double champion? Or will Darby Allin’s relentless reign not stop just yet?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision to follow a great Dynamite, but naturally status quo is kept with all these title matches. I liked the Jurassic Express National Tour vignette, and that was an awesome match in Jack VS Dorada. Anna Jay also looked great in her return, but of course Willow wins to keep the TBS title. Good promo from after Dynamite with Kris being rightfully angry with Shida, and good promo from #Shidalander with Harley & Mina. I feel like they can do a two-in-one, where Shidalander falls apart to set up their feud, while also giving Harley & Mina reason to become a team to help bolster the Women’s Tag Division.
Speaking of, very good promo from Divine Dominion to address how they’re dominating the division. There are only so many teams in the tag division so we need an influx of more, maybe have some crossover with Stardom and CMLL real quick, really spice things up as we get closer to Forbidden Door. Skye Blue of course won, and pretty dominantly at that. I can’t tell if Julia Hart is resting from an injury or what but she wasn’t even ringside for Skye, hopefully things are alright. Very fun trios match from Conglomeration VS MXM TV, great win for Conglomeration, but AEW needs to figure out more trios. Putting Ciampa with FTR is still a great team, but they gotta get longer running teams going, like LFI or maybe even Shane Taylor Promotions.
Awesome stuff with that 10 Man Tag, so wild and chaotic in a good way, but I figured Death Riders & Dogs would win. The Dogs need to stay afloat without Gabe Kidd as their anchor, and there’s the whole story with Ospreay that Death Riders need to stay strong for. Great tag match from Yuta & Garcia VS Ace & Juice, too, and great win for Bang Bang Gang. Especially with a return from Austin & Colten Gunn, because now we can get Bang Bang Gang VS Death Riders in an 8 Man Tag, someone going after the Continental Championship for it, who knows what else. For that matter, Bang Bang Gang needs to get back in those tag and trios divisions to at least bolster the ranks.
And great main event with the TNT Championship. Hook looked good for most of this, but the German Suplex was a bit janky. Thankfully, Knight is so tall and athletic that he made himself look even cooler in his escape. Knight of course won, mostly because it is more exciting if he has a chance of becoming Jet Two Belts. He won’t, because Darby and MJF are still building towards their rematch for Double or Nothing, but Knight will look awesome again. If anything, Knight VS Shibata should be the TNT title match for Double or Nothing, that’s a great story of student and teacher they can easily reference in the build.
My Score: 8.9/10

AEW TNT Championship: Kevin Knight VS MJF!
The Jet called out The Scumbag for sneaking away with a win when they battled for the AEW World Championship, and wants to prove that this title is for truly the best wrestlers! But will Knight be #2Fly2Stop? Or will Maxwell Jacob Friedman look to put more gold on his resumé?
The introductions are made, and MJF makes sure Justin Roberts says, “He doesn’t hail from a white trash state like Virginia…” The belt is raised, and we see who is truly the Face of TNT!
The bell rings and the fans fire up already. The two step up, but MJF kicks low! MJF TOSSES Knight out, then hurries to THROW Knight into the steel steps! Then he whips Knight hard into the railing! Knight writhes, the fans boo, but MJF soaks up heat. MJF talks trash as he reels Knight in, lift shim up, and BARRIER BOMBS him! The fans boo but MJF takes the camera to film while he scuffs Knight. “He’s a nobody!” MJF puts Knight in the ring, tells fans to shut up, and he pushes Knight to a cover, ONE!! Knight toughs it out but MJF clamps on tight. The fans rally as Knight endures and fights around. Knight rises, fires body shots, then runs.
Knight ducks ‘n’ dodges to springboard and CROSSBODY! Knight keeps moving, ducks ‘n’ dodges more, but MJF ELBOWS Knight down! The fans boo but MJF drags Knight up again for a back suplex. Knight lands out, back suplexes, but MJF lands out! Another back suplex, but into the CUTTER! Cover, TWO! MJF argues with the ref but the count was fair. MJF huffs ‘n’ puffs as he storms over to Knight at the apron. The fans taunt him about his hair but MJF just frowns. MJF drags Knight up, but Knight HOTSHOTS MJF away! Knight hurries in, slides under, then hurdles over to SATELLITE DDT! Both men are down but the fans fire up!
The fans rally again as both men rise up. MJF stands first, storms up, but Knight counter punches! Knight fires haymakers, fires body shots, then has MJF on the ropes! The fans fire up as Knight fires off, but the ref backs Knight off! Knight storms back up, whips, but MJF reverses. Knight goes up and over, hurdles again, then DROPKICKS!

Knight DIVES and down goes MJF yet again! The fans cheer as Knight gets MJF in the ring, but then MJF bails out another side. The fans boo but Knight shrugs and builds speed again. Knight FLIES and that’s three for three! The fans cheer as Knight stands tall on the desk! Knight then brings MJF back into the ring, but MJF says let’s make it four. MJF goes to the ramp side, but Knight says might as well complete the set!
Knight aims, springboards, and FLYING LARIATS MJF down at the ramp! All four sides belong to Knight and the fans are thunderous! Knight drags MJF up, puts him in the ring a fifth time, and now MJF is stuck in the drop zone. Knight is up top, but then MJF just goes to the far side. Knight runs up, MJF DUMPS Knight out, and then the HEAT- NO, Knight powers out! Knight springboards, MJF gets under, but Knight comes back and sunset flips! MJF flails to stay standing, but Knight brings him down to a cover! TWO and MJF sits on Knight, TWO as Knight sunset flips again! TWO and both men stand! SATELLITE denied into a CUTTER! Cover, TWO!
The fans cheer as both men are down again. Knight crawls away to a corner, MJF runs up, but Knight goes up and over. MJF ELBOWS Knight, goes up top, and calls his shot. But Knight BODY SHOTS first! Knight goes up to get MJF, but MJF resists. Knight CLUBS away on MJF, but MJF SHOVES Knight! Knight backflips, but he hobbles from the landing. MJF wobbles, Knight still goes to the UPPER ROOM!

MJF steps through, but Knight BOOTS him away! MJF hits buckles, Knight runs up, but Knight’s leg buckles! MJF SUPERKICKS Knight, then goes up for the LONG ISLAND SUNSRISE! Cover, TWO!! Knight survives the Sunrise and MJF is beside himself! The fans rally up again while both men are down, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Knight and MJF stir, Knight still clutching the bad leg. The ref checks him but Knight says he can still go. Knight goes to the ropes, hobbles around, but MJF runs up to KICK the leg out! Knight flounders but MJF stalks him. MJF KICKS the leg out again! Knight flounders against the ropes before falling down. MJF drags Knight to center, talks trash about the leg, then turns Knight over for the HALF CRAB! Dynamite returns to single picture as the fans rally and Knight endures! Knight powers up, crawls his way forward, but MJF drags him back to center! MJF sits deep, even CLUBS the leg, but Knight manages to turn over and BOOT MJF away!
The fans cheer as Knight hobbles up, but he still can’t run! MJF grins, then goes up the corner again, for the LONG- SUPERKICK! Knight suckers MJF in and hurries up the corner himself! The fans fire up for the MOTHERSHIP SPLASH!! But Knight can’t make the pin from how he landed so hard! Knight crawls his way back to cover, TWO!! MJF survives thanks to that delay, but the fans know, “This is Awesome!” Knight pounds the mat in frustration, then clutches his leg as he crawls over to the ropes. MJF is on the apron, Knight hobbles and runs up, but MJF blocks the kick! DRAGON SCREW in the ropes! MJF is foaming at the mouth!
MJF DDTS the foot again and again and again! MJF blows snot AND spits on Knight! The fans boo but MJF just snarls as he looms over Knight. MJF Alabama Lifts, and he ALABAMA SLAMS Knight down! Kneeling cover, TWO!! MJF covers again, TWO! Another cover, ONE!!! The fans fire up as Knight refuses to stay down! MJF is furious but the fans cheer Knight on! MJF storms outside, grabs the belt, then snarls as he goes back to the ring. The fans boo but the ref reprimands MJF. Th eref takes the belt, but duh! Dynamite Diamond Ring! But Knight LOW BLOWS MJF first!! Knight cradles, KNIGHT WINS!
Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall
MJF is absolutely shocked! He got outsmarted! He got beat at his own dirty game! But then MJF CHOP BLOCKS Knight! The sore loser then scares the ref off before he winds up with that diamond ring. But wait! DARBY ALLIN literally drops in from the ceiling! Darby unhooks himself from the harness, then storms into the ring to dragon sleeper MJF! SCORPION DEATH DROP!! Darby makes sure justice is served, and the fans cheer him on as he gets a mic. MJF also gets a mic, and MJF says, “You people suck! Darby, real typical. Two peas in a pod! Two low life cheaters getting along, huh?!”
But joke’s on you! MJF doesn’t care about Knight, this match doesn’t count, he was barely trying! The fans laugh given how MJF’s red, sweaty and gasping for air. But MJF says what he cares about is HIS Triple B, HIS AEW World Championship! The fans boo but MJF says shut up! MJF wants his rematch! Darby paces, but the fans already chant “NO! NO! NO!” Darby also says, “NO! I’m not giving you that rematch until you put something on the line! And if I survive tonight with Brody King, I think I know exactly who deserves a shot next week.” MJF says MJF, but Darby looks to The Jet. The fans cheer but MJF says don’t even think about it!
But Darby indeed says, it will be Kevin Knight! The fans cheer, but then BRODY KING shows up! The King of Death stares The Devil down, then moves past him to join Darby and Knight in the ring. Brody and Darby stare down, then Brody says, “I have some bad news for you, Darby, cuz you’re not gonna survive tonight! And Jet, I got even worse news for you. Next week, you’re not gonna be facing Darby Allin. You’re gonna be facing the NEW AEW World Champion! ROOF!” The fans cheer that, and Brody returns backstage. The main event is gonna be wild, but who carries the title into next Wednesday?
Backstage interview with Adam Copeland & Christian Cage.
Renee Paquette is with The Rated R Superstar and Captain Charisma, and notes that Cage has a fractured arm, how is he feeling? Cage says his arm feels fine, don’t worry about the arm. Then they also have to address FTR upping the ante on their New York Street Fight by making it part I Quit match. Do they accept? Cage says, “We accept!” Cope says that’s a bit quick given Cage’s history with I Quit matches in AEW. Just saying… Cage says if he’s told you once, he’s told you a thousand times, he never said those words! He didn’t! Cage storms off, Cope says he totally did. But neither of them will say it again. Will C&C be more than ready to make the Top Guys give up?
The Brawling Birds VS Emily Jaye & Jordan Blade!
Jamie Hayter may have missed a week, but she’s back to 100% and ready to pick up where she left off. But will she and Alex Windsor be able to bounce back from losing to Thekla back to back? Or will they get caught off guard by Lady Stunner & The Ankle Breaker?
The teams sort out and Jamie steps to Jordan. They circle as the fans rally, then Jamie blocks a kick to ROCK Jordan! Then she BLASTS Emily just because before she BOOTS Jordan! Jamie bumps Jordan off buckles, DOUBLE CHOPS, then tags Alex. Alex DOUBLE CHOPS, then she tags Jamie! Another DOUBLE CHOP, and then tag back to Alex for a DOUBLE CHOP! Jamie tags back in, The Birds wind up, but Emily runs in! The Birds DOUBLE ELBOW Emily before they DOUBLE DOUBLE CHOP Jordan! Jamie then hauls Jordan up to snap suplex! SLIDING LARIAT and then ground ‘n’ pound! Jamie brings Jordan up, Windsor joins in, DOUBLE HEADBUTTS!
Then they set up, The Birds DOUBLE LARIAT SANDWICH! Jordan sputters, right into TWO BIRDS ONE STONE! Cover, The Brawling Birds win!
Winners: The Brawling Birds, by pinfall
Yep, it’s like Jamie wasn’t even out a week! But will they make sure to settle the score with The Triangle of Madness on the road to Double or Nothing?
The Triangle of Madness speaks.
Thekla says everybody says Thekla, why do you always call people “dumb b*tches?” Thekla would love to stop calling people dumb b*tches, but there are just too many dumb b*tches in AEW! Skye Blue adds that what happened on Collision to Persephone was entirely The Birds’ fault. But getting mist in the face was the best thing to ever happen to Skye, so maybe it opens Perse’s eyes, too. So what happened to Jamie & Alex? They’re supposed to be the big bad Brawling Birds, but they just can’t seem to handle a little ol’ Toxic Spider. Thekla’s advice is to stick with the tag team, because when it is 1v1, Thekla is everything, and they are nothing!
The AEW Women’s World Champion continues to be confident in her toxic dominance, but will someone come along and figure out how to wipe this spider out?
AEW International Championship: Kazuchika Okada w/ Don Callis VS Ace Austin w/ Juice Robinson!
While The Rainmaker wants his fight with The Alpha, Konosuke Takeshita, he still has a duty to defend this title. Will Okada prove what a real champion looks like? Or will The Inevitable make him Fold?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who wins this gamble!
The bell rings and Callis admits, Ace has impressive quads. Too bad his hometown of Atlantic City is a dump. The fans tell off Callis even though he’s just on commentary, and the two tie up. Ace and Okada push each other back and forth, but Okada’s height becomes his leverage. Okada has Ace in a corner, but the ref counts. Okada lets off, then fakes the chop. Okada pats Ace on the shoulders, then stomps low! The fans are torn as Okada stomps a mudhole, but he backs off as the ref counts. Okada soaks up heat, then he ROCKS Ace with a forearm. Okada whips, Ace ducks and rolls to drop toehold and ENZIGIRI!
The fans cheer while Ace steps over to cradle, TWO! Ace DROPKICKS Okada down and the fans fire up! Ace KICKS Okada in the back, then CLUBS his arm. The fans rally as Ace lines up a shot and ROCKS Okada. Okada goes to a corner, Ace KICKS and CLUBS him. Ace whips Okada to ropes but Okada reverses, only for ace to fireman’s carry! Ace does squats to then DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! The fans fire up for “The Quad God” as he poses. Ace runs up, Okada dodges, and Okada comes back. Ace slips into the ropes and Okada hits buckles! Ace then slips back inside to FLYING CHUCK! Okada staggers while the fans fire up again!
Okada bails out, Ace takes aim, but Okada avoids the plancha! Ace avoids the leg sweep, and Okada is stunned to see the handstand! Okada applauds, that’s impressive even to him. But then Ace DROPKICKS Okada again, then PLANCHAS! Okada avoids the impact, kicks low, and DDTS to the floor! Ace writhes and Okada grins while the fans applaud. The ref checks Ace while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Okada “apologizes” to the ref, then drags Ace up. Okada RAMS Ace into the railing! The ref reprimands, Okada rolls into the ring, but only to refresh the count. Okada then RAMS Ace into more railing! Ace drops to his knees, Okada offers a high-five, and a young fan returns it. The fans applaud that, then Okada offers one to Callis. They high-five, cheapening the moment. Okada puts Ace in the ring, Ace checks his head, but Okada brings him up. Okada bumps Ace hard off buckles! Okada slaps Ace around, then stands him up to whip hard into buckles again! Ace falls back, checking his mouth, but his mouthguard did its part to protect his teeth.
Okada stands Ace up but Ace fires a body shot! And a CHOP! Ace then lifts Okada, but Okada fights free to kick and DDT! Okada pushes Ace over to the cover, TWO! Ace is tougher than that but Okada brushes it off. Okada paces, sneaks a middle finger at the fans, then scuffs Ace. Okada kicks Ace around while Dynamite returns to single picture. Ace stands but Okada Alabama Lifts, tucks, and REVERSE NECKBREAKERS! The fans rally as Okada brings Ace up again. Okada scoops to SLAM Ace in the drop zone! Standard formula says Okada goes up, and he aims for the MACHO ELBOW! Direct hit, and Okada winds up… The Rainmaker Middle Finger!
Okada drags Ace up, wristlocks, but Ace fights the ripcord! They run around and tumble out of the ring! The fans rally up as Ace is on the apron. Okada stands, but he blocks Ace’s Penalty Kick! Okada THROWS Ace, Ace handstands again! Ace then handsprings over the sweep! PENALTY KICK! The fans fire up as Okada staggers around the way. Ace builds speed to FOSBURY FLOP! Ace just manages to clear the apron and the fans fire up for that! Ace gets Okada up and into the ring. Ace climbs, springboards, but Okada dodges! But then Ace fireman’s carries! Okada slips free, ROLLING- NO, Ace blocks to KNEE low!
Ace KICKS and RUSSIAN LEG SWEEPS! Then “CLICK CLICK!” BOOM DROP! The fans fire up for Ace as he runs corner to corner, forearm SMASH! Ace pushes Okada out, springboards, and FLYING LEG DROPS! Cover, TWO!! Okada survives and Ace is stunned! Ace takes out his ace card, and runs up for- A BOOT! Ace still reels Okada in, but Okada fights the suplex. Ace wrenches, Okada rolls Ace, TWO! Okada CLUBS Ace down! Okada drags Ace up, whips him to ropes, but Ace avoids the dropkick! Ace then lines up the shot again, THE- NO, Okada pops Ace up, but Ace sunset flips! TWO!! Okada rises, BOOTS, and Ace falls!
Okada lines up a shot, he runs up, but he blocks a boot. Okada flips Ace, Ace lands safe on the apron and ROCKS Okada! Ace steps in again, FLYING- DROPKICK! The anti-air hits hard, then Okada ripcords! RAIN- NO, Okada ducks it to backslide! TWO!! Callis freaks out at how close that was! Ace runs, but into the DROPKICK! Okada snarls, gut wrenches, and TOMBSTONES!! Okada roars because he’s not done! Okada ripcords for THE RAINMAKER!! Cover, Okada wins!
Winner: Kazuchika Okada, by pinfall (still AEW International Champion)
Ace was so close to the jackpot, but Okada isn’t one of the best ever for nothing! Mark Davis congratulates his Don Callis Family brother, while Callis himself SMOTHERS Ace for pushing Okada this far! Juice Robinson scares Callis off, but then wait! Konosuke Takeshita is here! The Alpha stares down Okada, and signals that he’s taking that title. Will Takeshita avenge himself for that Continental Classic controversy? Or will no one dry up the reign?
A country town is in chaos!
They’re all running away from the saloon as someone is putting the hurt on everybody. This man then picks up a wanted poster, the bounty for The Most Wanted, Bandido. And that man… is Swerve Strickland! Prince Nana hands Swerve his lighter, and Swerve burns the bounty. Is The Outlaw about to enter Swerve’s House, and never return?
The Death Riders speak.
While Marina Shafir grapples with Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia says, “This is who we are, and this is how we train. You don’t get to be the best out there until you’re the best in here first.” But then look who walks in! Will Ospreay is here, and Jon Moxley says he has arrived! Did Ospreay get cleared? Nope. Might as well say it now, though: Ospreay is going to Japan, he and the Empire boys have a big title match, and then we’ll see. Moxley says, “Loyalty. You are too good to be true.” Moxley looks to Pac, kinda pokes at him, then says first thing’s first: Moxley needs Ospreay to drop everything.
Everything up here in the mind. The clouds, the vision, the thing that makes you see things up there. Then everything in the heart. The tugs, the pulls. And then everything in the gut, the anger that burns a hole. Drop it all. Excess baggage, they don’t need it. The feelings Ospreay has about Moxley, drop ’em. They don’t need excess baggage. Moxley makes no promises, he is not a miracle worker. But when Moxley makes a commitment to something, he sees it through all the way to the end. All he asks is the same in return. Ospreay nods and says okay. Moxley says beautiful! Ospreay and Pac stare down, but they leave it at that.
Ospreay asks where’s the ring. Moxley says they don’t need a ring. They’re starting from the ground up. The rest is proprietary, so sorry. Moxley pushes the cameraman out of the room, and now the real work begins. Will, or rather, can Ospreay survive the Death Rider dungeon and come out a stronger wrestler on the other side?
FTR is here!
Fairfax boos as the AEW World Tag Team Champions and #BigStoke make their way to ringside, but to sit by commentary so they can watch this next match.
Adam Copeland & Christian Cage VS Roppongi Vice!
While C&C want revenge on FTR so badly, they’re willing to stake their career as a team on it, this is to settle a different score! Will this tag team that reeks of awesomeness bring down Rocky Romero & Trent Beretta? Or will tonight belong to Azucar & #JustTrent?
The teams sort out and Cage starts against Rocky. The fans rally while Cage keeps that bad arm away from Rocky. They tie up, Rocky wrenches the bad arm, then wristlocks. Cage powers Rocky to a corner, the ref counts, but Cage backs off at 4. The fans cheer while Cage talks trash on FTR. Cage and Rocky reset, feel things out, but Rocky kicks low. Rocky wrenches, CLUBS, and CLUBS the bad arm. Rocky CLUBS away on the arm, then wrenches again. Cage KNEES low, then runs, but into a DROPKICK! Rocky slides for the soccer celebration, but Cage snatches him! REVERSE DDT! Cover, TWO!
Cage tags Cope and the fans cheer as they THROW Rocky into the corner again and again and again! Then BOOT LEG SWEEP COMBO! Cover, TWO! Rocky toughs it out, but Cope flips off FTR. Cope whips Rocky but Rocky KICKS back! Tag to Trent but Cope kicks and CLUBS Trent! Cope whips, Trent reverses, then Trent drops down to STANDING METEORA! Trent snarls, covers, TWO! Cope is tougher than that but Trent stalks Cope to a corner. Trent pie faces Cope, CHOPS him, then CHOPS again! Trent whips corner to corner, Cope reverses and Trent tumbles up, down, and into a BOOT! The fans cheer as Cope stands tall.
Cope drags Trent up, but Trent powers free! Cope drop toeholds Trent onto the ropes, tags Cage, and Cage stands on Trent to CHOKE him! The ref counts, Cage steps down, and he slingshots to the outside. Cope SPLASHES Trent before Cage UPPERCUTS him down! Cage then drags Trent out, THROWS him into barriers, and the fans cheer as Cage drags him up again. Cage ROCKS Trent, brings him around, and he SMACKS Rocky along the way! Cage puts Trent against the post, but Cash Wheeler shouts at him. Cage grabs Cash through the ropes, but Trent wrenches the bad arm, to SWING it into the POST!
The fans boo as FTRPG Vice are talking trash on C&C, but even Stokely talks trash from commentary. Wait, who is this standing up in the matching hoodies? It’s THE CONGLOMERATION! The fans cheer as Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong make their presence known, and Stokely senses it. Stoke turns around to see Conglomeration having snacks, and Stoke takes a swing!? Cassidy dodges that easily, and then SMACKS Stoke with the popcorn! FTR is furious, but they end up brawling with Conglomeration! RPG Vice mugs Christian while Conglomeration handles FTR & Stokely, off into the crowd!
The fans fire up as this brawl moves through the aisleway, and Cassidy is giving Stokely a noogie to his bald head! But Trent sets Cage up for Rocky’s FLYING KNEE! RPG Vice still has control while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Rocky talks a lot more trash on Cage, but Cope scares him off! The ref reprimands everyone, and Cope backs off while Trent stands Cage up. Trent whips Cage hard into railing! Trent then tags Rocky, and Rocky digs his boot into Cage’s bad arm against the railing! Rocky puts Cage in the ring, stomps the bad arm again, then drags Cage around. Tag to Trent, they double wrench to double BODY BLOW! Then they run to JUMP KNEE and LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Cage toughs it out but Trent slaps him around. Trent drags Cage up, snapmares, and he clamps on a top wristlock! Cage endures, Cope coaches him, and the fans rally up.
Cage rises, fires body shots, then runs the ropes, but into a kick! Trent hits an ARMBAR DDT! Cover, TWO! Cage scrambles to ropes but Trent tags Rocky in. Rocky steps on Cage very much like Cage would, then steps off as the ref counts. Rocky argues with the ref and with Cope, letting Trent SMACK Cage in the distraction! Cope seethes but he can’t do anything while Rocky traps Cage’s arm for an ELBOW JAMMER! Rocky then double wristlocks the arm and puts on the pressure. Cage endures, fights back up, and Dynamite returns to single picture. The fans rally again as Cage wrenches out, but Rocky wrenches to headlock, only for Cage to hit a BIG back suplex!
Both men are down and the fans rally harder! Rocky crawls, hot tag to Trent! Trent BLASTS Cope, the fans boo, but Trent tags Rocky back in. Trent puts Cage on the ropes, Rocky DOUBLE STOMPS Cage down for Trent to SLIDING KNEE! Cover, but Cope breaks it! The fans cheer but Rocky keeps Cage from Cope. Cage fires a body shot, but Rocky KICKS the bad arm! And KICKS, and KICKS, then CHOPS! Rocky puts Cage up top, climbs up after him, and goes for the arm. Cage fires body shots, shoves Rocky back, but Rocky returns for a SUPER ARM-DRAG! Then the ARMBAR! Cage endures while the fans rally up again!
Cage fights around, reaches out, ROPEBREAK! The fans cheer while Rocky lets go in frustration. Tag to Trent and he storms up on Cage. Trent ROCKS Cage but Cage fires hands in return! Cage fights off RPG Vice, sneaks under Trent, but Rocky tags in! Rocky whips Cage to a corner, but Cage ELBOWS him away! Cage goes up, but Rocky grabs the arm! But Cage CLAWS Rocky’s face! Cage then TORNADO DDTS Rocky! The fans fire up while both men are down again! Cage and Rocky crawl, hot tags to Trent and Cope! The fans fire up as Cope BACKDROPS Trent! Then FLAPJACKS! Then he whips corner to corner, runs up, but into an ELBOW!
Trent has Cope, TORNADO- NO, Cope denies the DDT, then hits the IMPALER! Cover, but Rocky runs up! Cope moves, the ELBOW DROP hits Trent! The fans cheer, and Cope ROCKS Rocky! And CHOPS Trent! Cope runs, but into a DOUBLE JUMP KNEE! And then another DOUBLE JUMP KNEE! Trent Alabama Lifts Cope while Rocky climbs, but Cage SHOVES Rocky down! And a BOOT into the CODE RED! Cover, but Rocky breaks it! Cage has Rocky but Rocky CLAWS Cage’s face! Rocky runs, but Cage SMACKS him with the brace! Trent CLOBBERS Cage! But Cope SPEAR- NO, Trent leaps over! Roll-up, with feet on the ropes! The ref sees it in time!
The fans cheer as Trent is caught cheating! Trent argues with the ref, then pleads with him. But Cope runs up, only for Trent to BOOT him! Trent runs up, but Cope pops him up, for Cage’s SPEAR! Cover, C&C win!
Winners: Adam Copeland & Christian Cage, by pinfall
They may be less than 100% physically, but they’re still 100% mentally! As for emotionally, Cage grabs a chair and brings it into the ring. Given the role RPG Vice played in Cage’s arm injury, he SNAPS the crossbar of the chair off, and he hands it to Cope! Bent as it is, Cope uses it to GAG Trent! TORONTO SMILE!! Cage grabs a mic and he asks Trent, “Do you know what to say?! Say it!” Trent shouts, but the crossbar is kinda muddying it into “I qwimt!” They take the bar out and Cage asks again. Trent shouts, “I QUIT! I QUIT!” Cope lets Trent go and the fans cheer. Cage says, “I will never say ‘I quit,’ you little b*tch.”
Cope & Christian have their payback on RPG Vice, but now it will be a matter of getting their revenge on FTR. Will Cash & Dax prove they’re truly the best tag team of all time? Or will they have to admit defeat in the worst way possible?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
Renee Paquette is with Y2J and brings up that this is twice now that Ricochet has defeated him with the “Ricosault.” Does Jericho think there is any validity that this Ricosault is an improvement on the Lionsault? Jericho says what he does think is that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But he’s not really flattered right now, he’s more pissed off. But here’s the thing, Ricochet has obviously been following Jericho’s career very closely. But not close enough because if he was- THE DEMAND ATTACKS! Ricochet, Kaun & Liona beat Jericho down 3v1, then get him up to his knees. Ricochet asks if this is what Jericho wanted. Is this what Jericho thought this would be in his big return to AEW?!
No more jokes, no more games, no more subliminal messages! Ricochet told Jericho to leave or get hurt! Look at him! What do you gotta say?! Is this what you wanted?! Jericho says, “Eat s*it, bald!” Ricochet HAMMERS away on Jericho, then RIPS the shirt away! Then The Gates of Agony THROW Jericho into a road case! Ricochet says that’s what you get! Then Ricochet uses the case to backflip over Jericho, and says, “You’re not even worth it. AHA~!” The Demand leaves Jericho down and out, but will they be the ones to kick him out of AEW?
AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championships: The Divine Dominion VS Hikaru Shida & Kris Statlander!
Megan Bayne & Lena Kross have been a dominant team since Dynasty, and are perhaps the most dominant team of all time! But will they make these former AEW Women’s World Champions #BowDown? Or can #Shidalander truly become the Galaxy’s Greatest Duo?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who has true power!
The teams sort out and Shida starts against Lena. The bell rings and Shida DROPKICKS Lena! Then she fires a shot on Megan, but Megan doesn’t move! Shida fires shots on Lena, on Megan, but then Lena KNEES low! Lena bumps Shida off buckles, RAMS into her again and again, but stops as the ref counts. Shida fires more shots on Lena, but Lena THROWS Shida away! The fans applaud, as does Megan, but Shida BOOTS Lena away! Shida runs up, but Lena RUNS her over! Lena soaks up cheers and jeers, then drags Shida up to bump her off buckles. Tag to Megan, Divine Dominion double whip, and they DOUBLE SHOULDER Shida down!
The fans are torn but Megan soaks it all up. Megan drags Shida up, back suplexes, but then counters Shida’s sunset flip into a FALL AWAY SLAM! Not the cleanest throw but an effective one. Megan “kicks rocks” at Shida, then runs up, but Shida slips around! Shida waistlocks, she RAMS Megan into a corner, then runs corner to corner to JUMP KNEE! Shida climbs up and the fans cheer, but Megan stops Shida before she even starts! Shida still throws hands, slips free, and kicks low. Shida runs, but Megan blocks the jump knee! SPINEBUSTER! Shida tumbles out while Megan seethes. Shida is frustrated but she storms back in!
Shida dodges Megan, CLAWS Megan’s face, then she grabs her kendo stick! But Kris grabs it, telling Shida to stop! They argue, but then Kris uses the stick to yank Shida out of the way! Megan POSTS herself instead of hitting Shida! Shida tags Kris, they have Megan in the ropes, and then Shida kicks Kris?! Oh, so she can snap suplex her into Megan! A unique attack, but Kris drags Megan up. Megan RAMS Kris into the Divine Dominion’s corner! Tag to Lena, they double whip Kris, but Kris ducks ‘n’ dodges to DOUBLE RAN- NO! The champs stop Kris to SLAM her down! Then they drag Kris up, bring her in, and DOUBLE SUPLEX! But Kris lands out!
Kris BOOTS Lena, DUMPS Megan, but Lena ROCKS Kris! Lena whips, Kris reverses and ELBOWS Lena, then PELES! Lena staggers, Kris gut wrenches and tucks, but Lena drops down! So Kris makes it a cross-legged cover, TWO! Kris ends up on ropes, Lena blocks the ref’s view, Megan hits a DRIVE-BY DROPKICK! Megan grins as she gets one in, then Lena Electric Chair Lifts Kris! To HOTSHOT her on the ropes! Divine Dominion is indeed dominating as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Divine Dominion revels in the cheers and jeers, then Lena argues with the ref before she brings Kris up. Lena bumps Kris off buckles, tags Megan, and Megan stomps away in the corner. Megan stops as the ref counts, but that lets Lena CHOKE Kris! Megan drags Kris up, RAMS into her again and again, then CHOPS! Tag to Lena, and Megan BLASTS Shida for good measure! Then a SPLASH and BUTTERFLY PLEX for Kris before Lena adds a SLIDING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Kris survives but she’s isolated with Shida down on the floor. Lena stomps Kris down, then stalks her to the ropes. Lena CHOKES Kris, the ref counts, but Lena steps back.
Kris flounders around but Lena drags her up. Kris fires body shots but Lena CLUBS her. Lena snapmares, runs, and SLIDING- NO, Kris turns that into a ghost pin! TWO, and Lena LARIATS Kris down! Lena snarls as she covers, TWO! Lena clamps onto Kris with a chinlock and grinds her down. Shida is back on the corner, and she rallies with the fans for Kris to get up. Kris rises, but Lena THROWS her back down by her hair! Lena “apologizes” to the ref, then covers, TWO! Kris toughs it out but Lena keeps on her. Lena stands Kris up, but Kris JAWBERAKERS! And throat chops! And LEG SWEEPS! Dynamite returns as Kris crawls!
Lena tags Megan, and Megan runs up to BLAST Shida! Then Divine Dominion reel Kris in for a DOUBLE- NO, Kris fights the suplex! Kris fires CHOP after CHOP after CHOP on the champs! The fans fire up as she runs, then DOUBLE RANAS! The Divine Dominion tumbles around, Shida reaches out, but Megan drags Kris back! Kris fights the fisherman, but Megan BOOTS her! Kris rebounds to DISCUS LARIAT! Both women are down again and the fans fire up! Kris crawls, reaches out, but so does Megan. Hot tags to Lena and Shida! The fans fire up as Shida fires off on Lena! Lena ROCKS Shida, but Shida fires another flurry!
Lena ROCKS Shida again, then whips, but Shida reverses, only for Lena to block! Shida fires a flurry, Lena shoves her away, but Shida dodges! Shida goes up, up, and MISSILE DROPKICKS! The fans fire up for Shida and she runs the ropes, but Megan snatches her! Lena BOOTS Shida while the fans boo. Lena whips, Shida dodges to KNEE Megan down! Then she drop toeholds Lena into Megan! And then Shida DOUBLE SLIDING KICKS them down! The fans fire up as Shida hurries to the apron! Shida aims to DOUBLE MISSILE DROPKICK! Divine Dominion is down but Shida rises again! The fans chant “HOLY SHIDA!” as she brings Lena around.
Shida puts Lena in the ring, drags her up, and reels her in, but Lena fights the suplex! Lena suplexes, Shida slips free, but Lean HOOK KICKS! Kris tags in and fires off shots! Lena ducks a kick to ROCK Kris! Lena whips, Kris goes up, but Megan traps her! Lena YANKS Kris down, then tags Megan! Lena forearm SMASHES, then ELBOWS Kris! Lena runs side to side, and so does Megan! BOOT follows BOOT, then Megan GERMAN SUPLEXES! Cover, TWO!! Kris survives and the fans fire up! Megan drags Kris up, ROCKS her, then whips her. Kris reverses, Lena tags in, but Kris goes Matrix to avoid Megan’s flying lariat! Kris kips up, but into Lena’s SUPERKICK!
Shida runs up to ROUNDHOUSE Lena! SHOTGUN BOOT from Megan to Shida! Kris BLUE THUNDER BOMBS Megan! Then she ROUNDHOUSES Lena! The fans fire up as Divine Dominion is stacked on top of each other, and Kris climbs a corner! Kris aims to 450 SPLASH!! Two for one on the impact and Kris hurries to cover Lena, TWO?!? Kris is stunned but Lena is dazed. Kris hauls Lena up, but Shida tags herself in! Kris is upset but she SLAMS Lena down for Shida to METEORA! Then the FALCON ARROW!! Cover, TWO?!? Lena survives again and now Shida is shocked! Shida aims for the KATA- NO, Megan intercepts with a BELLY2BELLY!
But Kris SUPERKICKS Megan! Lena waistlocks Kris, Kris switches, but Lean switches back. Megan returns, BOOT GERMAN SUPLEX COMBO! Then they get Shida up, DIVINE INTERVENTION!! Cover, Divine Dominion wins!
Winners: Divine Dominion, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions)
Granted, Shida went a bit rogue changing things on Kris there, but it’s hard to deny that Megan & Lena have the stats to reign forever and ever! Will no one, no matter who they are or what they’ve done, ever dethrone Divine Dominion?
Programming note for next week!
Wednesday, May 6th, North Charleston, South Carolina is in for a treat! They don’t just get AEW Dynamite, they get AEW Collision as a THREE HOUR COMBO! All live on TBS and HBO Max, make sure you schedule accordingly so you don’t miss a minute of the action!
Backstage interview with The Don Callis Family.
Renee Paquette is now with The Jackal himself, as well as Andrade El Idolo, and speaks to the incredible tear- MJF steps in and says, “No, no, no, Renee, I’m sorry, incredible tear? Here’s what you have done. You have ruined this company! Thanks to you, Darby Allin is on a reign of terror!” Andrade says okay, how you know? W-what? How does MJF know? Because Darby is world champion, that’s how! How you know? Because Don told MJF that Andrade lost his contender’s match! How you know? Because MJF saw it later with his own two eyes! Andrade again asks, “How you know?” Andrade smiles, and MJF says (sarcastically) that Andrade’s real funny.
MJF then shoves Andrade! Callis steps in and has them stop. Andrade is Callis’ money man. MJF is THE money man! Business is business. MJF doesn’t have a belt, there’s no reason for Andrade to fight MJF. And MJF, you need to get that belt back! They’re all better off when MJF is on top! So let’s just focus on business, guys. Okay? Just this once? MJF storms off one way, Andrade the other, and Callis says, “Wild horses, they’re gonna run. What’re you gonna do?” Callis follows Andrade, but will The Real Latino Man accept this truce with The Scumbag?
Rush VS Steven Fuerte!
From wild horses to El Toro Blanco, Rush has certainly been on a stampede since returning from injury. However, he is only getting hungrier and hungrier for gold around his waist. Will that stampede finally lead him to opportunities at Double or Nothing? Or will he have to make due with an appetizer?
The bell rings and Fuerte offers a handshake. Rush DECKS Fuerte instead! Fuerte tumbles out of the ring, Rush goes out after him, and Rush THROWS Fuerte into barriers! The fans fire up as Rush then THROWS Fuerte back into barriers, then stomps away! The ref counts but Rush fires body shots! Rush SMACKS Fuerte off the barriers, then snarls as he drags Fuerte back up. Rush puts Fuerte in the ring, watches him flounder to the corner, and he CHOPS! Fuertes falls, Rush puts him in the corner, then rains down forearms! The ref counts, especially as Rush stomps away! The ref backs Rush down, and Rush just pumps it up!
The fans chant for “RUSH! RUSH! RUSH!” Rush goes corner to corner, “You mess with the bull…! You get the horns!!”” BULL’S HORNS! Cover, Rush wins!
Winner: Rush, by pinfall
Rush made quick work of this one, then he grabs the mic to say cut his music, but in Espanol. Rush continues by saying that he is done with all these dogs! He is Rush, and remember! When you mess with the bull… You get the HORNS! Who else will be trampled under El Toro Blanco as he hunts after gold?
Backstage interview with The Opps.
Renee Paquette is now with Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata, Hook, and newest member, Anthony Bowens. Renee says Joe is back, looked great back in action, but what is the game plan moving forward? Joe says, “Game plan… Maybe a declaration of intent. Well, it is simple. The Opps, we intend to reassert our dominance here in AEW. How do we plan to do that? I’ll tell you. We plan to do it with men like Katsuyori Shibata, fury made flesh, a man who is kind enough to put on a kick pad so he doesn’t cave in your head when he kicks your skull off.
“We’re gonna do that with men like Anthony Bowens, multiple time world tag team champion here in AEW. A man who has been undervalued, underappreciated, and most importantly, underestimated. And you will see the best version of him now in The Opps. Then we come to Hook, a man who intends to become the new King of Television when he captures the TNT Championship this weekend on Collision. But more importantly, our reign to the top, it includes strategic acquisition. And that brings me to you, Will Ospreay. Y’see, Will, I hope and I pray that you’re not suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.
“Because those boys in the Death Riders, they had you in the very same position that they saved you from not too long ago, and you know who came and took you out of that? We did, Will. We had your back. So you have to ask yourself, what kind of relationship do you want? Do you want one of convenience? Or one of confidence? Because The Opps are here, and the choice is yours.” That is quite the offer from the Samoan Submission Specialist. But will Ospreay change sides now that he’s already started down the road with the Death Riders? Or will he help The Opps get back on top?
FTR speaks.
Dynamite returns as #BigStoke informs us he just spoke with Tony Khan. Orange Cassidy, they have an “interesting proposition.” Next week, Dynamite Double Jeopardy! Cassidy goes 1v1 with Dax the Ax, and IF Cassidy wins, he and any member of The Conglomeration can challenge for the AEW World Tag Team Championships! But WHEN Dax wins, FTR gets the shot at the AEW World Trios Championships! And Stoke knows ol’ OC is begging for Stoke to get in the ring so they can be face to face, but guess what? That is not gonna happen. Stoke thinks they have a pretty good third partner, and it is the man who took Darby to his limit.
In steps Tommaso Ciampa! The Psycho Killer says last time he and FTR teamed up, if he remembers correctly, Ciampa shelfed Mark Briscoe indefinitely. This time, they take them trios titles. Ciampa picks the popcorn crumb from Stokely’s beard, and says, “Top Guys out.” Ciampa eats the crumb, then waves goodbye. Will these three truly be a dangerous combination? Or can Freshly Squeezed earn himself and… someone… another title opportunity?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
On top of Hook challenging The Jet for the TNT Championship, we will see The Death Riders & The Dogs team up again, but against the combination of The Rascalz & Top Flight! Another 10 Man Tag, but which side comes out on top? Then there’s more gold on the line in Peoria, Illinois, as “Jungle” Jack Perry defends the AEW National Championship against Mascara Dorada! Will the King of the Ropes add more gold to the collection? Or will Jack Perry continue to live his best Tarzan Life? Then the Bang Bang Gang hopes to rebound from Ace’s loss tonight as they go 2v2 with Daniel Garcia & Wheeler Yuta! Will Juice & Ace win big? Or will The Death Riders dominate the night?
And lastly, “Comeback Killer” Willow Nightingale put out the challenge last week and it has been answered! Anna Jay returns to action, and she challenges for the AEW TBS Championship! Will Anna truly be the Star of the Show? Or will the Babe with the Power overpower The Queenslayer?
AEW World Championship: Darby Allin VS Brody King!
The Relentless One promised to be a fighting champion, and so far that is mission accomplished. But he also promised that Kevin Knight gets the next shot next week! Will Darby continue to keep his promises? Or will the King of Death throw those plans for a loop?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we add another chapter to this storied and brutal rivalry!
The bell rings and the fans are fired up already. The rivals step up, shake hands, then back up, only for Darby to SHOTGUN Brody! Darby fires off fists, Brody shove him away, but Darby comes back with fists! Darby springboards, but into a CHOP! Darby is stinging but Brody clamps on a SLEEPER! Darby grab ropes, the ref counts, but then Brody SLAPS Darby’s hands down to GERMAN SUPLEX him away! Darby tumbles all the way to the corner, and Brody roars as he runs! CANNONBALL! Brody hauls Darby up, Canadian Racks, but Darby fights free! Darby goes to another corner, and he BOOTS Brody away!
Darby goes up but Brody CHOPS! Brody climbs, Darby CLUBS away, and Darby hops on for a SUPER CODE RED! Cover, TWO!! Brody survives and bails out while the fans fire up. Darby snarls, builds speed, and DIVES! But he just bounces off of Brody’s body?!? Even Darby has to smile about that, that was wild! Brody drags Darby up and CHOPS him! Darby staggers around the way but Brody follows. Brody brings Darby up, CHOPS him again, and he grabs a chair! The ref reprimands but Brody tells fans to move aside. Brody sits the chair up, makes Darby take a seat, and CHOPS him for good measure. Brody barks, fans join in, and Brody runs up!
But Darby trips Brody and Brody hits the chair! The fans rally as Darby hurries to take that chair for his own. Darby sets it up, brings Brody up, and Darby makes Brody take a seat. Darby fires forearms, CLAWS Brody’s back, then he climbs up the corner! The fans fire up because they know this means SUPER MISSILE DROPKICK! Direct hit on Brody but Darby also writhes from that landing! The fans are thunderous while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref checks Darby but he insists he’s okay. Brody is okay to continue, as well, and both men slowly sit up. Darby hobbles and rolls into the ring, followed by Brody. They slowly stand, and Darby hobbles over to fire forearm after forearm! Brody DECKS Darby with just one! Brody leans on the ropes while he catches his breath, and Darby slowly sits back up. Brody brings Darby around to CHOP him back down! Darby sputters but Brody drags him back up. Brody ROCKS Darby, whips corner to corner hard, and Darby falls to the mat! Brody storms over to Darby, stands him up, and scoops for a SLAM! Cover, TWO!
Brody stays on Darby with another scoop and SLAM! Another cover, TWO! Darby toughs it out and Brody grows frustrated. Brody drags Darby up again, scoops and SLAMS again, then covers, TWO!! Darby continues to survive, and now Brody is oddly amused. Brody looms over Darby, but Darby fires shots at the legs. Brody CHOPS Darby down! Then SENTONS onto Darby! Darby sputters and clutches his leg, it was trapped under him when the senton hit! Brody shrugs, not his fault. Brody looms over Darby but Darby crawls away. Brody stalks Darby, brings him up, and Dynamite returns to single picture for the lift. Darby GUILLOTINE FACELOCKS to counter!
Brody puts Darby on the ropes, fires body shots, and then he CHOPS Darby down! Darby hits apron before he hits floor! The fans rally and bark while Brody argues with the ref. Brody goes out after Darby, drags him up, and CHOKE SLAMS him on the apron! Brody says this is what Darby wanted, so he clears the desk! The fans cheer, and Brody even puts the desk lid off to the side. Brody paces, and watching from the skybox, it’s Kevin Knight. The TNT Champion is facing one of these two next week, so naturally he wants to watch with his own eyes. But then Darby JUMPS on Brody’s back! Darby has a SLEEPER!
Darby squeezes tight, but Brody stays on his feet! Brody runs with Darby as a backpack, CANNOBNALL down through the desk hood!! Fairfax loses their minds as both men are down in the wreckage! We get a quick look backstage to see MJF is watching this, too. The ref checks and both men are able to continue. Brody is up first and he drags Darby around. Brody scoops but Darby fights free! Darby SHOVES Brody into the desk! That corner edge gets Brody right in the stomach! Darby hurries to finish clearing the desk, and he throws hands on Brody! And even SLAPS, SLAPS, SLAPS! Brody SLAPS back!
Darby sputters on the desk, and now Brody climbs up to join him! The fans go nuts as Brody reels Darby in. Darby fires body shots and shots on the legs, but Brody CHOPS Darby! SLEEPER!! Brody dangles Darby like he has before, but Darby CLAWS Brody’s eyes! Brody lets go, Darby hurries back up, CODE RED ON THE DESK! The desk does not break, but both men might be busted up from that landing! The fans lose their minds all the same while the ref checks both men. Darby is up and in the ring, sore as he is, but Brody rises. Darby shakes out the bad leg, builds speed, and he DIVES! Direct hit and they hit the desk again!
The fans fire up while both men are down! Darby sits up, then manages to hobble his way over. Brody follows, they roll into the ring, and Darby goes up the corner! But Brody trips Darby up, then CHOPS him into the Tree of Woe! Brody then sits Darby up, just so he can CHOP Darby again! Brody barks as he storms around, and then he runs up to CANNONBALL!! Darby sputters but Brody drags him up, just to short arm LARIAT him back down! Cover, TWO!! Darby survives and shocks Brody! Brody hauls Darby right up, runs, CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL!! Cover, TWO!!! Darby survives again and Brody is beside himself!
The fans are thunderous for Darby as he sits up in a daze. Brody shakes his head, unsure how Darby is still doing this. Brody YANKS Darby up, runs up, but Darby dodges the splash! Brody sputters from hitting buckles, and Darby CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS again! Darby HEADBUTTS Brody, but that just pisses Brody off! Brody THROWS Darby onto a cameraman!! The camera is fine but Darby writhes on the ground! Brody storms out after Darby, grabs him by the legs, but Darby claws at the floor mat! The mat is pulled up as Brody drags Darby along! The fans fire up as the camera seems to be along for the ride!
Darby kicks at Brody, kicks free, then hurries to his feet. Brody CHOPS Darby and Darby staggers away. The fans rally and bark, and Brody runs up for a CANNONBALL THROUGH RAILING!! But Darby narrowly avoids that human car wreck!! The fans go nuts as Darby hurries to finish pulling up floor mats! Darby has exposed a good portion of concrete, but he makes sure to roll into the ring to stop the count. Brody storms back up on Darby, but Darby BITES Brody’s hands! The ref reprimands but Brody ROCKS Darby! Brody reels Darby in, and he looks to the floor! The fans freak out but Darby fights the suplex!
Darby SLAPS Brody’s hands, then slides under! SUNSET BOMB on bare concrete!! The fans go nuts again, but Darby isn’t done! Darby climbs, aims, and SUPER COFFIN DROP!!! Direct hit, and a solid one at that! The ring count climbs again, and Darby rolls in at 4 of 10. Brody is down at 6, but he rises at 7! Brody stands at 9, and he lunges in at 9.9! Only for Darby to COFFIN DROP again!! Then COFFIN DROP again!! Cover, DARBY WINS!!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Championship)
This newest chapter might’ve been their greatest, if not CRAZIEST, one yet! And in the end, Darby’s relentless nature carries him through again! Knight nods, knowing exactly what to expect for next week. But will Knight make it through the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil on Collision to then bring that TNT Championship to the dance? As for Brody, he and Darby shake hands as great rivals and friends. Darby makes sure to look at Knight up in the skybox, will Darby be able to survive his own reign going this hard week after week?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Dynamite that they really stacked with title matches. But at the same time, status quo kept and all in awesome ways. Honestly, part of me is surprised that Knight retained against MJF, because of the “Double or Nothing” idea of Darby VS MJF, title for title. But at the same time, maybe Darby is going to make MJF put up his ability to challenge for the world title, same as in MJF VS Hangman. Great win for Knight all the same, and he’ll have a very good match against Hook on Collision, and against Darby Allin next week. Darby VS Brody was an awesome main event, like PPV quality, holy crap, but great win for Darby.
MJF had a great promo with Callis & Andrade to further that feud and its slow burn. I would think that win, lose or draw with Darby, MJF will feud with Andrade for the summer. A great match for Ace Austin against Okada, but again, of course Okada won out so he and Takeshita will still have their title match. Great promo from Thekla & Skye to call out Brawling Birds, and Brawling Birds of course win their match tonight. I still wanna see that Triple Threat of Thekla VS Windsor VS Persephone with someone becoming a double champion, but it feels like it might be Thekla VS Windsor VS Hayter just so Thekla obviously gets away with a win.
Great women’s tag title match, #Shidalander getting their best showing yet, obviously. But given the story they’re building, of course Shidalander loses. Divine Dominion VS Brawling Birds definitely needs to happen for All In London, so all these other matches are just biding time on that. Rush continues to bide his time, but between the TNT Championship and the National Championship, Rush needs to get one of those to vindicate himself here in AEW. Great tag match from C&C VS RPG Vice, but also a great appearance by Conglomeration to go after FTR. They’re already building that story even before Double or Nothing, which is clunky, but I like the idea of the Double Jeopardy. Though, with that, FTR & Ciampa are definitely getting their match for the trios titles.
And great stuff in this story of Will Ospreay’s recovery. Great promo from Ospreay with the Death Riders, but then The Opps just jump in and want to recruit him now? That’s weird. I suppose there is still good continuity here, because Face Opps did fight against Heel Death Riders, and so the factions are double-turning and the feud is continuing. I am pretty sure Ospreay sticks to Death Riders in this, and there’s still so much missed opportunity not having Max Caster as part of Bowens’ story with The Opps. But hey, if it gives us Ospreay VS Shibata and Ospreay VS Joe through such a feud, who am I to question it?
My Score: 9.1/10
