Winners: Chris Jericho & Konosuke Takeshita, by pinfall
Jericho looks down at Garcia, the conflict clear on his face. Garcia and Sammy are upset but Takeshita and Callis are all smiles. Is Jericho selling his soul all to stay friends with Don Callis?
Tony Khan speaks.
He thanks all of us watching Dynamite on TBS and around the world. They’re celebrating 200 episodes of Dynamite, and a huge milestone on the way to the biggest pro-wrestling show of all time, AEW All In at Wembley Stadium! Thank you to all the fans who made this possible, and thank you to the wrestlers and staff. Tony then cues up a highlight reel of Dynamite’s four year history. “It’s Wednesday night, and you know what that means!”
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
Renee Paquette hurries after The Ocho to ask him a reaction to what just happened. But Matthew Menard storms up to say that is NOT how this is going to end. “Next week, Jericho Appreciation Society mandatory meeting. You’re going to be there. Got it?” Daddy Magic leaves, and Jericho has no words. What is to happen to the JAS now?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He welcomes out the FTW Champion, Jack Perry. Fans boo as Hollywood Jack Perry walks out, dressed all in black leather as he taunts Taz with the belt. Jack goes to the ring, taunts the fans with the belt, and then Schiavone says this is to be the face to face. Jack snatches the mic to cut Schiavone off, and fans boo more. Jack says he gave Jerry a week to get ready, so he should get out here to take the ass kicking like a man! The music hits, and Jerry makes his way out. Jerry has the music cut, though, and he has a mic to speak from the stage.
“First of all, Jungle, you don’t run the show around here. And as much as I’d love to come to that ring and make an example out of you, I won’t, because that would be a form of child abuse. Second of all, I don’t run the show around here. And with all the plates and screws in my neck, there’s not a doctor alive who would clear me to get back in that ring. But… I just so happened to call a good friend of mine… Who just so happened to wrestle in ECW… Who just so happens to still wrestle today. So what do you say, Jungle?” Fans are fired up, they’re already guessing who it is. And YES! IT IS ROB! VAN! DAM!!!
Fans are thunderous as the One of a Kind ECW original makes his way out! Jack is stunned, and maybe even a little scared. RVD goes to the ring, fans chanting for him, and Jack tells them all to shut up! RVD gets in the ring, stares Jack right down, and Jack says if he wants the title, it’s right here. RVD steps closer, and so Jack bails out! Jack didn’t want a fight as much as he made it sound, but is there no running from R V D?
WAIT, Jack comes running back in, with a chair!! He swings, misses, and then narrowly ducks the jump kick! Jack bails out again, and RVD snatches that chair! Jack goes into the front row to keep RVD from pursuing, and even uses a kid as a shield! Will RVD bring the spirit of ECW with him to take down Jack Perry and take back the FTW Championship?
AEW hears from Hikaru Shida and Toni Storm.
The Shining Samurai reviews that it was May, 2020 at Double or Nothing that she became AEW Women’s World Champion. And that was the first PPV without fans. She never felt she was unlucky, though, because those hard times made Hikaru Shida. She just wanted to share her moment with the fans. So Toni Storm, you cannot stop Shida! You cannot stop her dream from coming true! She will be champion again!
But The Lightning From Down Under tells “Shida-san” that she applauds the work Shida put in during Pandemic Era. But Shida, you were the best AEW had during that time. Now, they have The Outcasts, and specifically Toni, “the greatest AEW Women’s World Champion to ever live. And tonight, I will still be walking out as the AEW Women’s World Champion.” Will Shida be able to end #ToniTime? Or will the Storm continue on?
Anything Goes Triple Threat: Jon Moxley VS Trent Beretta VS Penta El Zero Miedo w/ Alex Abrahantes!
No count outs, no disqualifications, and no telling what could happen between these three! It even looks like some tables have been set up ringside. Will the Maniac rip apart one of the Best Friends and one of the Lucha Brothers in one match? Or will it be the other way around as Trent and Penta get to go to the extreme?
But as soon as Moxley’s ringside from his crowd-side entrance, Trent DIVES onto him! Fans fire up, and then Penta FLIES onto Trent! Fans fire up more as Penta SLINGBLADES Moxley!

Trent reels Penta in, but Penta powers out of the tornado DDT! HEADSHOT with the trash can lid!
Penta swaggers and fans fire up for “CERO! MIEDO!” Penta runs, but Moxley hits a CUTTER! Moxley storms around, he goes outside and he looks under the ring. Moxley finds a BARBED WIRE 2-by-4!? Did he borrow that from the Righteous and their Fight Without Honor? Moxley aims, Penta dodges to SUPERKICK! And now Penta has the wood! Moxley dodges, he kicks low, and CHOPS! Moxley whips but Penta goes up and over to BACKSTABBER! Penta hurries to get Moxley up, “CERO! MIEDO!” Trent TRASH CAN LID KNEES! Moxley has the wood! He CRACKS Trent in the stomach, then CRACKS him on the back!
Moxley DIGS the barbed wire into Trent’s face! The fans tell Moxley he’s sick but he already knows that. Moxley hauls Trent up, PILEDRIVER on the barbed wire wood! Moxley gets up, checks his own back, but then runs, only for Trent to get around SAIDOÂ onto the barbed wire wood! Moxley writhes his way to a corner, fans fire up, and Trent staggers up. Penta drags Trent out to CHOP! Trent sputters, his forehead and back of his head starting to bleed from the wire scraping it.

Moxley and Trent stir in the wreckage, and refs hurry over to check them. They’re somehow okay to continue, and Penta staggers up to his feet. Penta and Alex fetch another table! They get this one in the ring, and then yet another! Moxley hurries in, but he can barely sit up! Penta KICKS him in the back! Trent returns as Penta is setting up a table and he BOOTS Penta down! Then SMACKS him with the trash can! Trent takes care of setting up the table, and he puts this one near a corner. Trent then storms over to Penta, ROCKS him with forearms, but Moxley kicks Trent, and HOTSHOTS him off the ropes!
Moxley puts a SLEEPER on Penta! Penta kicks and flails, but Moxley sits him down! Moxley squeezes tight, then throws down HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! Moxley goes to the second table, he sets this one up right in a corner. Trent CHUCKS the trash can at him! Trent and Moxley fire forearms back and forth, and then DOUBLE FOREARM! Both men stagger and fall over! The fans fire up as all three men are down! Trent sputters through his growing crimson mask, Moxley huffs and puffs, and Dynamite returns to single picture. Fans rally for “CERO! MIEDO!” but Moxley fires forearms on Penta and Trent!
Trent CHOPS Moxley! Moxley ROCKS Trent! Penta CHOPS Moxley, and Trent CHOPS Moxley! Moxley fires forearms in return, then powers up, but he runs into DOUBLE SUPERKICKS!

Fans are electric, Penta SOBATS! “CERO! MIEDO!” Penta springboards, into a kick! DEATHRIDER! Trent BUSAIKU KNEES Moxley, covers Penta, and WINS!!
Winner: Trent Beretta, by pinfall
That was madness, but it was #JustTrent that came out on top! And Moxley ain’t having it! He wraps a SLEEPER onto Trent!! Fans boo as Moxley is a sore loser, but here comes the rest of the Blackpool Combat Club! Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta storm around from the crowd side, but CHUCK AND CASSIDY INTERCEPT! Those four brawl in the crowd and fans fire up! Claudio sends Cassidy into a wall! Yuta shoves Chuck to railing, and Moxley drags him over! Moxley fires off on Chuck, Claudio TOSSES Cassidy over! The BCC regroups, but wait! Trent FLIES in from above, wiping them all out!!
Fans are thunderous as now Best Friends have the advantage! They put Claudio in the ring, and Chuck CHUCKS a chair into him! Claudio flops back out, Yuta goes to his side, but Moxley gets an ORANGE PUNCH!! Moxley staggers around and bails out, then Chuck gets a mic! “Hey! Well it looks like this didn’t accomplish a gaddamn thing! So how about Friday Night on Rampage, we go back to Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, and you effin’ meet us in the parking lot?!” Fans fire up, we’re getting the second ever Parking Lot Brawl in AEW history! Best Friends beat the Proud ‘n’ Powerful in that match, will they do the same to the BCC?
Backstage interview with Rob Van Dam.
Renee is with RVD and says no one was expecting him to be nose to nose with Jack Perry. What brought him here to Dynamite? Well, RVD heard Jack running his mouth. Does that guy know people are listening? “Dude, guess what? Next week, I want to challenge you for the FTW Championship!” And after RVD wins, here’s what he’s thinking. He has done this with many titles. He inflates the value of them to ridiculous levels, then just retires them. Yeah, look it up. But with the FTW Championship, it depends how much fun he has beating “Jungle Jerk.” All Jack has to worry about is that next week, 1v1, it’s Jack VS Rob Van Dam. Will RVD be a One of a Kind FTW Champion?
MJF is here!
Fans fire up as the AEW World Champion makes his way to the ring! MJF seems uncharacteristically nervous, but he is still excited about this being episode 200. MJF gets a mic, has them cut his music, and fans continue to cheer for him. MJF has a big smile on his face hearing that, and he says they have some Devil Worshippers in the house tonight. But MJF is a little emotional so if they don’t mind, bear with him as he has a real heart to heart with everyone here in Tamp and with everyone watching at home.
MJF says that some may know, he has Attention Deficit Disorder. Fans cheer for “A D D! A D D!” Man, if only his teachers were like that. But with ADD comes a lot of other disorders linked to it, and one of those being Rejection Sensitive Disorder. Basically, his brain is wired differently, and it makes it so that he cannot regulate rejection-based emotions or behaviors. That makes life really difficult at times. And to be honest, life would’ve been hard even without RSD. There is still a lot about MJF’s past the fans don’t know. MJF has been bullied, abused, cheated on, lied to, battered, beaten up.
And frankly, a lot of it he has blocked out. But there is one thing he remembers to this day. That is the day those kids walked up, hands full of quarters, and they threw the coins at him as hard as they could and told him, “Pick it up, Jew Boy, pick it up.” To this day, MJF wakes up in a cold sweat, and he feels… He feels the sensation of the coins hitting him. He can hear that laughter. And he remembers telling himself that day, fully believing that everyone on this Earth is an evil scumbag, so if he wanted to survive, if he wanted to protect himself, he had to stab others in the back before they could do that to him.
But MJF is starting to realize that that is no way to live. “Because, Tampa, while I was protecting myself, I ended up becoming one of them. I ended up becoming a scumbag myself.” MJF says it’s true. And to be honest, being a scumbag is easy. Making people hate him is easy. Getting people to boo him is easy. What’s hard is being vulnerable and open. That’s hard. Fans cheer that! MJF knew that with his disorders, he knew that if he opened up as Max and fans still booed him, it would bring him right back to being that “five foot nothing, ADD riddled Jew Boy who had quarters thrown at him.
“But y’know what?! I’M NOT SCARED ANYMORE!” Fans cheer that! MJF says that he is not scared, and that is because of each and every single one of the fans! The fans cheer that, too! MJF says the people taught him that you do care about Max. Fans chant “MAX! MAX! MAX!” and MJF smiles. MJF says the people taught him that they have sympathy for the Devil! And y’know what? MJF won’t change overnight. For crying out loud, he’s still a scumbag! But dammit, he is ready to be THEIR scumbag! Fans cheer that even more! MJF holds the mic up so they can be heard, and fans chant loving, “HE’S OUR SCUMBAG!” Your what? “HE’S OUR SCUMBAG!”
MJF grins and says there is one person in particular who taught MJF to think like this. A person who taught MJF that living with hate in your heart ain’t no way to live at all. This person taught MJF he can trust, he can be vulnerable, and yes, even Max Friedman “The Devil” deserves a friend. Ladies and gentlemen, give a round of applause for a man MJF genuinely feels is one of the best wrestlers in the world, and one of the best people in the world, his BEST FRIEND, ADAM COLE BAYBAY!! C’mon out here, Adam! We all wait, but where is Cole? There he is! Cole walks out with no music and goes right to the ring.
Cole gets a mic, fans cheer him on, and Cole joins MJF in the ring. Cole says, “Max, you continue to impress me every day, man.” MJF says, “I am pretty impressive, aren’t I, Tampa?” Tampa cheers that! Cole says seriously, it isn’t just because MJF is, at such a young age, one of the best in the world, but because of the man he is becoming. Cole does appreciate MJF coming out to share his story, having the guts to explain what he’s gone through. And Cole wants MJF to know MJF is not alone.
For years, Cole was a jerk, not only because it’s what he thought he had to do to succeed, but also because he was afraid and didn’t understand what being a man really was. And MJF, you are becoming the man you are meant to be. “Max, these people, they love you! They adore you! They want to cheer for you! And that’s not just because you are one of the best damn pro-wrestlers on the planet. That’s because they know deep down in your heart and deep down in your soul, there is a good guy in there.” Fans cheer again, and Cole says he wants to make it clear. Not only is Cole incredibly proud of MJF, but they are incredibly proud of MJF.
MJF says as much as he thoroughly enjoying this “verbal fellatio,” and again, still a scumbag… But MJF especially loves Cole is wearing their new shirt, Double Clothesline, get yours today. But that’s not why MJF called Cole out here. No, he wanted Cole here because MJF made him a promise. That after their tag match with FTR, win lose or draw, MJF would give Cole a shot at Triple B, the AEW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! And he has been thinking long and hard on it, and MJF has come to the conclusion that… Cole doesn’t deserve it. Fans are stunned and Cole is confused.
But wait, MJF gets the contract from Justin Roberts and says Cole doesn’t deserve just any match. Cole deserves THE match! In front of the most historic crowd in the history of pro-wrestling! On the most historic night in the history of this sport! In the main event of that night, MJF VS COLE, WEMBLEY, ALL IN!! Fans are all fired up to hear that! MJF says there is no one he would want to make history with more than Cole, so please, sign the contract. MJF gets a “SIGN IT! SIGN IT!” chant going, and Cole takes the pen. Cole finds his spot in the contract, and he writes his name down! Cole then tells Max that he loves him. MJF says he loves Cole. And they hug!
Fans fire up as these two are ready to go All In! MJF says to be honest, he’s gonna win. Cole says okay, sure. They fist bump, and we have our main event for All In London, August 27th! They’re both Better Than You Baybay, but who will be THE best in AEW today?
Whoa, Roderick Strong is throwing a fit backstage! Roddy still thinks Cole is falling for the long con, but then in walks The Kingdom. Matt Taven & Mike Bennett smirk, and Taven says Adam Cole always forgets his real friends. Taven pats Roddy on the shoulder, is everything Cole has done going to come back to haunt him?
Six Man Tag: The Elite w/ Brandon Cutler VS Team Triple J w/ Sonjay Dutt & Karen Jarrett!
Well, we all know if not for Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks, All Elite Wrestling would not have existed at all! And in case you missed the news, they are STAYING All Elite! Will they start down the road back to the top? Or will Jay Lethal, Jeff Jarrett & Satnam Singh get their biggest win yet since joining AEW?
The trios sort out and The Cleaner starts against the Last Outlaw. Fans fire up, the two talk some trash, and then they circle. They tie up, Jarrett gets around to a headlock, spin, hammerlock and headlock. Omega powers up and out, but Jarrett runs him over! Things speed up, Jarrett turns hip toss into hip toss! Then he scoops and SLAMS Omega! Jarrett struts but the fans boo. Omega storms up to CHOP! Jarrett pokes Omega int he eyes! Tag to Lethal, but Omega hits an arm-drag! Omega wrenches Lethal, brings him over, and tags in Matt Jackson. Matt goes up to drop AX HANDLES on Lethal’s arm!
Matt tags brother Nick and Nick goes up to DOUBLE STOMP Lethal’s arm! Fans fire up as Nick tags Matt back in, they double whip and double kick, to then ALLEY-OOP RANA! Lethal goes to a corner, Jarrett runs in but into DOUBLE DROPKICKS! Lethal scrambles, Matt dares him to tag in the big man! So Lethal tags in Satnam! Fans fire up as Matt steps to the One in a Billion, but then realizes this was a mistake. Matt looks to his corner but Nick and Omega both step down. Satnam then TOSSES Matt to an open corner! Matt dodges the chop and he tags Nick in! Nick says okay, he and Matt DROPKICK Satnam around!
Satnam stays up, runs in, but the Bucks dodge his double clothesline! Satnam rebounds, and he breaks through their double clothesline to DOUBLE CROSSBODY! Lethal BLASTS Omega down, Jarrett joins in, and they mock the Elite’s pose! Karen is the only one cheering. Triple J knocks Omega and Matt back down as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Satnam trophy lifts Nick up, and then SLAMS him down! Satnam looms over Nick, steps on him, and then drags him up. Tag to Jarrett, and Jarrett bumps Nick off buckles. Jarrett whips corner to corner hard and Nick bounces off buckles! Jarrett drags Nick to ropes to CHOKE him! The ref counts, Jarrett lets off at 4, maybe even 4.5. But then Karen CHOKES Nick! Jarrett runs to STRADDLE ATTACK! Jarrett struts while Nick flops over. The ref keeps Omega & Matt back and Jarrett tags in Lethal. They whip Nick, kick low and SWINGING NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Lethal throws down fists, then drags Nick up.

Winners: The Elite, by pinfall
The Cowboy helps out, as do the brothers Hardy! Omega gets a mic to say there is some important news for those who don’t go on the internet. Hangman, what’s on your mind? Tell ’em! Hangman gets the mic and asks if anyone has seen it. There was a big announcement that The Elite have RE-SIGNED with AEW! Fans fire up, and Hangman says that Dynamite 200, they are all so happy to be here. Here’s to the next 200! Omega says whether it be Dynamite, ROH, Rampage, hell, even Collision… The fans will see more of the Elite. But until, Omega bids us adieu. So on behalf of the Elite, good bye, MWAH! And good night, BANG!
The Elite is rolling in this next chapter of AEW, will they soon take over by taking back some titles?
The Mogul Embassy speaks.
Swerve Strickland knows the fans need an explanation as to why they did what they did last week to Darby Allin & Nick Wayne. AR Fox, the floor is yours. Fox tells Darby that without Fox, there IS no Darby. Then why didn’t Darby call Fox to say thanks when he got signed to AEW? Darby didn’t say a thing for five years until Fox saw him backstage. But Fox is here now, and he is going to take away everything that he gave Darby. Nana says they’ll get it back in blood. Swerve ain’t gonna lie to Fox and say they’re like family or whatever. But when you Mogul Embassy, they take care of their affiliates. Fox was even cast in Swerve’s new movie! Roll the footage!
Mogul Embassy presents Fox & Swerve going right up to the Wayne training school! Swerve never did stop and see the Buddy Wayne Academy, so here’s their surprise visit. They push the door open, and Swerve says, “What up, turds?” Nick asks what they’re doing here, but Swerve says he’s here to train. He’s never seen this in person, but it is what he expected it to be: a complete sh*t hole. Swerve laughs as he steps into the ring with Nick and his trainee. What does the Fox say? SKATEBOARD TO THE FACE! Fox runs in, Nick attacks him, but Swerve throws him off! Fox and Swerve mug all of the trainees!
Swerve tells Nick he’s sorry about this. Oh wait, no he’s not. Fox & Swerve corner Nick, he RAMS into them, but Fox facelocks! GLASS across the face!! It was the picture frame of Nick and his dad! Swerve shows it to camera. How poetic. Swerve will put this here, where Nick sat when he found out daddy wasn’t with him anymore. Nick, bleeding profusely from the forehead, reaches for his phone, but Fox drags him away! Swerve grabs Nick’s phone and knows who he was calling. They use Nick’s face to unlock the phone, but the blood messes it up. They threaten Nick to unlock the phone, and he does. And now, they call Darby.
Darby picks up, thinking it’s Nick. But it ain’t Nick! It’s FOX. W-What? Yeah, you heard him. And you will listen or something worse will happen. “See how simple it is to make a phone call? How come you couldn’t make one years ago to AR Fox when you got signed to AEW?” Darby tells them to leave Nick alone but Swerve tells him to shut up! They’re the ghosts of Darby’s past, and they will haunt you. This is just the beginning. The Mogul Embassy is forever. Fox breaks a window on his way out, and then Nana has to hurry after them. They’ve drawn blood, will Darby make the Mogul Embassy pay?

The Lightning From Down Under being an Outcast, she joined AEW after its inception, and still considers herself, Saraya & Ruby Soho far and above everyone who was here at the start. But will the Shining Samurai finally have the spotlight she deserved but was robbed of by global circumstances? Or will the AEW Women’s Division still be on #ToniTime?

Storm scrambles to the ROPEBREAK! Shida lets off to go out, and she CLUBS Storm on the apron!
Saraya complains that Shida is cheating, but Shida storms over to the Outcasts! Saraya says Shida isn’t allowed to touch her! So Shida goes back to KNEE Storm from the apron! Fans fire up and Shida brings Storm around to RAM her into railing! Shida refreshes the ring count, stalks Storm, and scares the Outcasts off.

Winner: Hikaru Shida, by pinfall (NEWÂ AEW Women’s World Champion)
INCREDIBLE!! The 200th episode has a historic finish, and the Outcasts cannot believe it! Here comes the red and white confetti to celebrate the Shining Samurai once again becoming a TWO-TIME AEW Women’s World Champion!! This new chapter for AEW has a new champion, will she finally get to enjoy this with the fans?
My Thoughts:
A pretty great episode for Dynamite, given it was the milestone 200th. Though, it could’ve still been better, they didn’t really up things like we’ve seen WWE do with their milestone episodes. However, you do have to commend them for not trying to wheel out people for a nostalgia high, waste screen time with more than the one good highlight video, and they made the women’s match the main event. And for good reason, because that was an awesome match, and a great moment for Shida to win the title back. Shida finally has her big title win in front of the fans and she gets a proper celebration, and they can easily give Storm a rematch at All In so that the massive UK crowd gets to cheer Shida on in her first defense.
Jericho & Takeshita VS Sammy & Danny was a great opener, and great story beat of Callis cheating and yet Jericho not really wanting to do that. Jericho then being told by Matt Menard that they’re going to have a meeting, it feels like Menard is prepared to replace Jericho as head of the faction should Jericho not set things right. Then it can be like, the SES: Sports Enner-tay-ner Society! The “mandatory meeting” should not only be where Jericho decides who he’s with, but it should be where the Don Callis Family debuts more members. Takeshita is great, but even if Jericho join him, the DCF needs numbers to compete with other groups.
Speaking of other groups, the Mogul Embassy gave us some scary stuff in their promo with Nick Wayne. That was like pro-wrestling meets an action movie. Fox & Swerve in action on Rampage, they’ll definitely win, and then we can start setting up Swerve & Fox VS Darby & Sting for like All In. Great little promo from Jack Perry, Jerry Lynn and RVD, what a great surprise! RVD VS Jack for the FTW title next week is going to be great stuff, but I have a feeling Jack cheats to win. The one taking this title off Jack should be Hook in a rematch, and that can also happen at All Out so that Jack can at least have a good reign, not a transitional one.
Great Triple Threat Anything Goes match, that was some wild stuff. Trent ended up bleeding for both Moxley and Penta, and you gotta love the factions got involved. For now, this seems to be shifting to just Best Friends VS BCC, and I love that they’re bringing back the Parking Lot Brawl. Best Friends won the original, so there’s a chance BCC wins this one. And at the same time, this could branch us to Moxley VS Cassidy for the International Championship. No offense to Cassidy, but he’s already done more than enough for that title, he can pass it on to Moxley through this huge feud with all the factions.
Great Six Man Tag of Elite VS Triple J, and of course Hardy Boyz help counter all the Triple J cheating. Elite staying with AEW is great news mostly for AEW, and Kenny dropping all the names of all the AEW shows, including ROH and Collision, is great stuff. The Bucks returning to ROH would be wild stuff, and any combination of The Elite showing up on Collision, aka Punk’s show, would perhaps be a sign things are going well in peace talks between The Elite and Punk. And then, just an amazing ROH World Tag Team Championship match, Aussie Open does it again! Fletcher & Davis should go after FTR after they retain against Bill & Brian, because then, at All In London, we’d get a rematch of that instant classic from NJPW Royal Quest.
And speaking of All In, what an amazing promo from MJF and Adam Cole to make their title match official. Pretty much everything Cole said about MJF was true, there has been this desire for fans to like and cheer MJF because of the glimpses we got at Good Guy Max. MJF was good guy alongside Cody Rhodes, with that interview of his where he first told us that story about those bullies. And then again when MJF opened up in his feud with Punk. And I really like that The Kingdom is getting in on this, just as I’d hoped.
I would love if Roddy sided with The Kingdom to mess up the title match, where Roddy thinks they’re screwing over MJF but they’re really screwing Cole. And then Cole gets mad at Roddy, Cole & MJF team against Kingdom, and then Roddy really does mean to screw Cole because Roddy will have felt rejected by Cole. This could be AEW’s best equivalent to what WWE captured in the Bloodline story and I’m for that.
My Score: 8.9/10

Backstage interview with Swerve Strickland.
Well, not quite, as Renee Paquette waits outside his locker room, hoping for a word about Ricochet’s threatening Prince Nana. Wait, Hangman Page barges through, and says no one is in there. Renee asks what Hangman is even doing, he says it is none of her business. Then can Hangman comment on Christopher Daniels announcing the end of his in-ring career? Nope, no time. But then Hangman literally bumps into MJF. These two stare down, but then Hangman moves on. MJF says unbelievable. The Cowboy walks around like he’s King S*it just because the fans like him. No matter what he does, Hangman did nothing wrong~!
But MJF even so much as breathes funny and it is all over for him. How hypocritical. MJF mutters to himself but Renee asks how he feels about Jeff Jarrett’s match where he could win a title opportunity with Moxley. Renee snaps MJF out of ranting to himself, and MJF apologizes, it’s the ADHD. But MJF is not gonna let anybody ruin his mood tonight. Because tonight, he proves his words aren’t just beautiful poetry but prophecy. Tonight, Double J learns that as MJF said, you’re better off making a deal with The Devil than defying him. Jarrett learns that the hard way when he goes out there alone to face one of the most dangerous men AEW has to offer in the man-horse, Claudio Castagnoli!
And that is all because of Jarrett’s narcissism, and his refusal of MJF’s sweetheart deal. MJF has a new offer, and unfortunately for Jarrett, it is one he can’t decline. It goes like this: The Last Outlaw’s Last Ride! Ain’t that great? MJF grins, but will he have to eat his words when Jarrett finds a way to defeat the Swiss Cyborg?
“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs speaks.
“Unfortunately, Big Bill, I wasn’t cleared to travel to Dynamite tonight. But just as we went off that stage on Collision, I told we’re going to Hell. When I’m cleared to come back, I’m gonna show you that Hell is just the beginning.” When and where will The Book of Hobbs finish this chapter with The Redwood?
High Stakes: Jeff Jarrett VS Claudio Castagnoli!
Well, just as the Wolf of Wrestling said, The Last Outlaw is going up against the Death Rider’s workhorse, all for his shot at Jon Moxley and the AEW World Championship! Will Double J win here to go on to “the big one?” Or is this where Jarrett’s ride ends?
The bell rings and the fans rally up for Jarrett. Jarrett and Claudio tie up, go around, go along ropes, and end up in a corner. The ref counts, Claudio lets off slowly, but then takes a swing! Jarrett avoids the cheap shot to UPPERCUT Claudio! Claudio headlocks, Jarrett powers up and out, but Claudio runs him over! Things keep moving, Jarrett drops down then arm-drags! And HIP TOSSES! Jarrett whips, JAPANESE ARM-DRAGS, and the fans fire up! Jarrett puts Claudio in a corner, climbs up, and he rains down fists! The fans count along, but Claudio stops Jarrett at 4 to then atomic drop! Claudio runs, and he LARIATS Jarrett down! Cover, TWO!
Claudio argues with the ref but the count was fair. Claudio drags Jarrett up, reels him in, but Jarrett powers up to back drop free! But Claudio sunset flips, Jarrett rolls through, and Jarrett has the legs! FIGURE FOUR! The fans “WOO~!” while Claudio flails! Claudio crawls over to the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Jarrett lets go fast, and the fans cheer while Claudio bails out. Jarrett waits on Claudio and the fans rally behind “DOUBLE J! DOUBLE J!” Claudio waves to the crowd? Oh, of course! Wheeler Yuta is here! The Decoder is dressed and ready for his match against Jay White, but he looks ready to go now if he has to!
Jarrett storms out and dares Yuta to do something, but the ref has Yuta stay back. Now Claudio waits on Jarrett in the ring, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref has Jarrett leave Yuta alone, and he tells Yuta to stay back. Jarrett returns to the ring, dodges Claudio and puts him on ropes! Jarrett runs to then STRADDLE ATTACK! The fans cheer as Jarrett does the Fargo Strut, then runs back in, only for Yuta to warn Claudio! Claudio dodges and TOSSES Jarrett out of the ring! The ref keeps Claudio from going out there, but that lets Yuta attack Jarrett! Yuta gets away with it all and Claudio goes out the side. Claudio SMACKS Jarrett off the barriers, then stalks him around the way. Claudio then lifts Jarrett to hit SNAKE EYES off railing! Claudio puts Jarrett in the ring and clamps on a COBRA CLUTCH!
Jarrett endures while Claudio thrashes him around. Jarrett fights up, fires body shots, but Claudio HOTSHOTS him on ropes! Jarrett sputters, Claudio kicks him out to the floor, and again the ref keeps Claudio in the ring. Yuta creeps up, but the ref senses him this time! Yuta backs off, Claudio goes out, and Claudio puts Jarrett in the ring. Claudio tells the ref not to worry about Yuta, but then Jarrett fires body shots! Jarrett ROCKS Claudio, fires more shots, but Claudio BOOTS him down! And hits a LEG DROP, brother! Cover, TWO! Claudio clamps onto Jarrett with a chinlock and grinds him down while Dynamite returns to single picture.
The fans rally as Jarrett fights to his feet. Jarrett fires body shots, then powers Claudio to a corner. Jarrett whisp corner to corner but Claudio reverses, then follows in for an UPPERCUT! Snapmare and cover, TWO! Jarrett toughs it out and the fans rally some more. Claudio grabs the legs, but Jarrett kicks him away! Claudio comes back to DOUBLE STOMP! Cover, TWO! Jarrett stays in this and the fans cheer, but Claudio gives scuffing, mocking kicks. Claudio whips but Jarrett catches him for a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! The fans fire up and both men stand. Claudio fires hands on Jarrett, then UPPERCUTS!
Claudio UPPERCUTS again and Jarrett staggers around. Claudio UPPERCUTS, Jarrett HAYMAKERS! They go back and forth, the fans cheer Jarrett but boo Claudio. Jarrett gets the edge but Claudio kicks low! Claudio winds up to UPPERCUT, but Jarrett DECKS him in return! The fans fire up with Jarrett and he swings more shots and even some KICKS! Jarrett trips Claudio, steps through, but Claudio BOOTS him away! Claudio runs up in the corner again, but Jarrett dodges! Claudio is stuck, Jarrett kicks at the free leg! Claudio hobbles around but Jarrett winds up, only for Claudio to block! Jarrett aims, but Claudio ducks the enzigiri!

Claudio steps through on Jarrett and turns him over, SHARPSHOOTER! The fans boo but Jarrett endures! Jarrett reaches out while Claudio sits deep! Yuta tells Jarrett to just tap out, but the fans rally! Jarrett powers up, pushes back, and he has Claudio’s legs! Jarrett has the SHARPSHOOTER! Jarrett does this for Owen! Claudio endures, but Yuta slides a chair in! Yuta then distracts the ref, Jarrett lets Claudio go, and Jarrett DECKS Yuta!
The fans cheer, but Claudio grabs the chair! The ref ushers Yuta out, but Jarrett dodges the chair! Jarrett wrenches Claudio, reels him in, but MOXLEY is here!! The Maniac hits a PARADIGM SHIFT!! The fans boo but Moxley & Yuta bail out so that Claudio can hook Jarrett up! GOTCH NEUTRALIZER!! And then he hauls Jarrett up again, GOTCH NEUTRALIZER AGAIN!! Cover, Claudio wins!
Winner: Claudio Castagnoli, by pinfall (denies Jeff Jarrett a world title match)
Marina Shafir is also ringside now, just to hold up the briefcase that holds the world title. The Death Riders screw Double J over, but it took almost ALL of them to do it! Is this a sign that they fear Double J’s grit and determination? As for the Last Outlaw, he slowly sits up from taking all those big shots, the fans cheering him on. Jarrett thanks the fans, but here comes MJF… Jarrett sighs while he struggles to stand up, and MJF struts out here with another stupid grin on his face. MJF goes right to the ring, mic in hand, and he tells Jarrett, “I just wanted to come out here to say…” HE CLOBBERS JARRETT WITH THE DYNAMITE DIAMOND RING!!
The fans boo as MJF grins again and stands over Jarrett. MJF picks the mic back up to say, “As you know, I truly respect my elders. And that’s precisely why I’m not gonna say I told you so.” MJF leaves Double J behind, but will the Scumbag actually man up and go for gold? Or is he just going to wait it out while The Maniac continues his reign of terror?
Backstage interview with Ricochet.
Renee is with the One & Only and says earlier today, she tried to get a word with Swerve Strickland, but he is nowhere to be found. But she has been informed that should Swerve interfere in Ricochet’s match tonight, Swerve will effectively forfeit the match the two of them were set to have next week in Atlanta. Really? Ricochet likes that. Because finally, Swerve is out of Ricochet’s business. Well, Renee knows Ricochet has a lot he wants to get off his chest, so what’s on his mind? Ricochet says no, no, we aren’t doing this right now. Look at how Ricochet is dressed. Does she take him for some kind of hoodlum?
No, they will do this in a more formal setting this Saturday on Collision. As for tonight, “the powers that be” have decided to further bully Ricochet by putting him in a match against AR Fox one week before one of the biggest matches in Ricochet’s career. So if you don’t mind, let him take care of that situation real quick. Renee wishes him luck but he says no need. The music hits and Ricochet makes his entrance. Will Dynamite be #OuttaThisWorld? Or will it be the Whole Fox’n Show?

Ricochet even has the scissors against Fox’s neck to threaten him like he did Nana! Swerve stands down and Ricochet retreats. But with one week to go, will Ricochet enter Swerve’s House only to NOT make it out in one piece?
AEW shares a snippet from Closeup with Renee Paquette.
We got a little taste on Saturday during Collision, now we get a little more as Renee asks Jon Moxley about the AEW World Championship itself. From the moment Moxley won it, he’s kept it hidden. First a garbage bag, now the briefcase. Why is it Moxley is essentially holding this title hostage? Moxley asks back why anyone needs to see the belt. What does anyone get out of it? Do they want to take a picture of it? Is this a petting zoo? Why does anyone need to see it when they don’t know anything about it? They don’t understand it on any level. They don’t understand what a world championship means, what it is about, what it takes to be a world champion.
Moxley IS the AEW World Championship! He is the living definition of what it is to be a champion. Want to see it? Take a look at it, because it’s right here. HE is the AEW World Championship, it lives here. It isn’t something you hold, it isn’t something you show off, it isn’t something you take pictures with. It lives in the heart! It has to be cultivated, grown, forged in the white hot fires of struggle and combat. And as we heard from Collision, Moxley is trying to build a THOUSAND Moxleys! He wants to backfill AEW, so that means he must put them through what he went through, and maybe even worse.
The Maniac’s reign of terror is much deeper than we knew. But will it ever come to an end?
The Learning Tree speaks.
Chris Jericho says, “Hi, guys~! Welcome to another New York Minute, coming to you live this week from Huntsville, Alabama, home of the Crimson Toad.” Bryan Keith adds, “ROLL TOAD!” Jericho says a lot is going on with The Nueve, like his new movie, Dark Match, premiering in theaters and on Shudder this Friday night. It’s violent, it’s gory, it’s fun, just like The Learning Tree! But speaking of violent, we also saw last week on Collision, Big Bill took out Will Hobbs! Tells us about it, Redwood! Bill says what “LT” said last week really struck a chord with him. It is one thing for Bill to share the teachings of Jericho with the world, but it’s another to put those words into action.
Bill feels now that he understands Jericho’s words in a way that he never did before. He feels… Stronger. Jericho says yes, when he hears Bill say that, it makes Jericho very proud. Jericho is very proud… of himself, for being such a great mentor! And Jericho told Bill to take out Hobbs, but permanently. Bill didn’t do that, so Bill will have to work a little bit harder next time. But Bill will get that chance again this Saturday, as Jericho & Bad Apple Bryan Keith take on those other heathens who beat them in that 12 Man Tag at Maximum Carnage, The Outrunners! Jericho says the Outrunners claim to have been around for decades, but Jericho’s never seen them anywhere but AEW, EVER!
Keith says that’s a Mandela Effect! Jericho says this Saturday, The Youngest Men Alive get taught a lesson from the smartest men alive, and Big Bill will make Jericho proud for real this time. That’s all! Another New York Minute! Thanks, guys~! Jericho’s cocky smile turns into a sneer, but will he and Keith really bring down Turbo Floyd & Truth Magnum? Or will the Learning Tree get a Total Recall?
Jay White VS Wheeler Yuta!
The Switchblade has been after The Death Riders for months now, and he especially owes The Decoder for all the underhanded ways he’s gotten involved in White’s title matches. Will Yuta learn to Breathe with the Switchblade? Or will he just ruin another night for Jay White?
White is wary as he puts his jacket aside. Yuta runs up, but White catches him to a clinch! BLADE- NO, Yuta slips free and bails out! White taunts Yuta, Yuta says the bell hasn’t even rung! Oh, he’s one to talk about playing fair! The ref has White back up and Yuta slowly steps back into the ring. The fans chant “YUTA SUCKS! YUTA SUCKS!” The bell rings now, but Yuta bails out again. The fans boo but Yuta takes his time coming back. White says it’s fine, he’s got time. Yuta paces, the ring count hits 5 of 10, and Yuta steps in again. They tie up, Yuta headlocks but White slips out to headlock in return.
Yuta pulls hair to put White in a corner but the ref counts. The fans boo, Yuta lets go, but White pulls Yuta’s beard! The fans cheer, the ref reprimands, but White brings Yuta around. Yuta breaks free but White CHOPS him! White takes another swing, Yuta ducks and wrenches the other arm to then wristlock. White spins, Yuta wrenches, repeat, but then White rolls. White wrenches and spins Yuta to CHOP it down! The fans cheer while White grabs a leg. White pushes the leg down to sit Yuta up, and White CHOPS Yuta down again! And again! White pushes the leg down a third time, Yuta stays down, so White stomps him!
Yuta sputters, sits up, and White CHOPS him yet again! Yuta goes to a corner, White brings him around, but Yuta kicks. White blocks, and CHOPS!

The fans cheer, Guns Up for the Huntsville Gold Members! Yuta avoids the chop, comes back, but White pops Yuta up to sit on the top rope! The fans cheer while Yuta clutches his death rider, and then White CHOPS him to the floor! Yuta crawls, White goes out after him, and White CHOPS Yuta again! The fans “WOO~!” while Yuta sputters.
White refreshes the ring count, drags Yuta up and SMACKS him off the barrier! White refreshes the count yet again, and fans want more! White SMACKS Yuta off the barriers again!

Claudio CLOBBERS White, and now he and Moxley stomp away on White! Yuta flounders, but here comes Rated FTR!! Cope, Dax & Cash run The Death Riders off, but Moxley grins as he dares Cope to come get him. Cope helps White up, and Dax gets a mic.
“It’s a little different, huh? It’s a little different because it’s even, it’s an even fight right now. Death Riders, I know how you operate. And here’s the thing, I don’t hate how you operate. But what I do hate is when you try to end a 67-year-old man who is my idol, Ricky Morton. That’s what I got a problem! Right now, tonight, one of my favorite wrestlers of all time, one half of the greatest tag team, The Midnight Express, Dennis Condrey, is here! In Dennis Condrey’s name, on Collision, FTR VS The Death Riders, in a Midsouth Street Fight!” The fans like the sound of that! Dax says, “See y’all there.” Will the Top Guys make sure The Death Riders finally get what they deserve?
Renee Paquette is on stage.
She welcomes out the AEW Women’s World Champion, Mariah May! The Glamour walks out on stage, says it is great to be in Huntsville, “but looking around, maybe we should change the first letter to a C?” The fans get what she means, but Renee moves things along. We have seen the metamorphosis of “Timeless” Toni Storm, who Mariah will be defending the title against at Grand Slam: Australia. Mariah seemed a bit shaken- Oh, wow, we’re doing this? Toni Storm playing the part of Toni Storm, the RETURN~ of Toni Storm! This isn’t real, Renee! None of it is! Toni Storm is NOT real! Mariah then snatches the mic from Renee while the fans chant “TONI! TONI!”
Mariah scowls at the fans, then says, “You want to play the role of Toni Storm? Okay, why don’t you play the Toni Storm who gave her heart to a woman who used her for her gold? No, no, why don’t you play the Toni Storm who’s most memorable moment was bleeding and crying in my hands?” The fans boo but Mariah says maybe Toni should play the Toni who walked out of Wembley Stadium and Japan and Mexico, because she couldn’t touch Mariah. Mariah smirks while fans boo, and Mariah says Toni can play whatever Toni she’d like, because the ending stays the same. Mariah doesn’t need to rope play. When you’re this good, you don’t need to change a thing.
Mariah says, “I am the Woman From Hell, and I always will be. And I will remind you for the rest of your life. Look now and never forget, for this is your AEW Women’s World Champion!” Mariah holds up the title, but with just over two weeks left, will she lose it all to the woman she took it all from?
AEW checks on on The Gunns.
Austin & Colten have been watching from home, looking back on their rise to the top, and working on making it back. When and where will it be #GunnsUp again?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
On top of Jericho & Keith VS The Outrunners, we will see Samoa Joe & Hook team up against Nick Wayne & Kip Sabian! Will The Patriarchy’s “sons” be able to stop the Samoan Submission Machine and the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil? Then, after hearing Mariah speak tonight, “Timeless” Toni Storm will give her response! And then, after the tense stare downs from last week’s Homecoming, Daniel Garcia is putting up his TNT Championship in a Triple Threat! Kyle O’Reilly and Lee Moriarty are stepping up, but will either of them take this title from Red Death?
The Hurt Syndicate speaks.
Montel Vontavious Porter says, “Normally, we would gloat. But we’re gonna celebrate. First, because we’re classy gentlemen who conduct business, I would like to recognize the former AEW Tag Team Champions, Private Party. Zay, Quen, they’re warriors, they fought hard. It wasn’t their fault they ran into the most devastating tandem in ALL of professional wrestling. These tag team titles are going to stay here as long as we want them. We are putting everyone on notice. The All Mighty, Bobby Lashley. The Standard of Excellence, Shelton Benjamin. Hurt Syndicate will accept any challenge from any challenger. Any time, any place.
“We are the Hurt Syndicate, and we hurt people.” Then who will dare step up against this dangerous and powerful pair?
The Don Callis Family speaks.
Don Callis himself says, “We are the true one-percenters of professional wrestling.” Konosuke Takeshita is not only the AEW International Champion, he is the NEVER Openweight Champion after defeating Shingo Takagi at WrestleKingdom 19Â and Tomohiro Ishii at WrestleDynasty. They will do what they do everywhere in the world, whatever ring they step into, and win 1-2-3! Will that be the case when AEW arrives in Australia?
The Vendetta speak.
Taya Valkyrie has the cameraman come in close. “Moments from now, we’re gonna witness Mercedes Mone defend her TBS Championship VS Yuka. UGH!” Deonna Purrazzo says, “We both know that could have been me, it should have been me, and it would have been me, if it wasn’t for Harley Cameron.” Taya says Harley loves sticking her “balloons” where they don’t belong, and Deonna says this world wasn’t built for women like them. That is why they must TAKE what they deserve. So Harley, now you belong to The Vendetta. Saturday Night Collision, they are coming to collect. The Virtuosa then dismisses the cameraman, will Harley pay for doing the right thing?
AEW TBS Championship: Mercedes Mone VS Yuka Sakazaki!
The CEO may be the FOUR-BELT BOSS, but she is still up for a challenge. She turned down Harley Cameron as Harley hasn’t won anything on AEW TV, ever. But then Harley made sure the Wrestling Magical Girl had a fair chance in Homecoming’s Fatal 4 Way last Saturday Night Collision. Will Yuka thank Harley for that by defeating Mone? Or will The CEO still be the Face of TBS?
The introductions are made, the AEW belt is raised, and we see if Mone holds onto the hardware!
The bell rings and the two circle. Mone and Yuka tie up, go around, and the fans are on Yuka’s side. Mone wrenches, wristlocks, but Yuka spins, wrenches, and wristlocks in return. Mone rolls, kips up, and wrenches to hammerlock. Yuka endures, fights up and spins around to top wristlock! Mone slips under but Yuka headlocks. Mone powers out to headlock in return, but Yuka powers up to power out. Mone RUSN Yuka over, soaks up the heat while she does her dance, but Yuka kips up! Yuka wags her finger, runs, and she jumps over the dropdown. Things keep moving, and Yuka RUNS Mone over! The fans cheer and Yuka does her own CEO dance!
Mone swipes, Yuka jumps it, and she snapmares Mone! Mone bridges up and snapmares Yuka, but Yuka bridges up! Mone shoves Yuka, but Yuka avoids the arm-drag! The fans cheer as Yuka body scissors, and she rolls Mone around and around, and around again! Cover, TWO! Mone escapes and then ducks a sliding lariat! Ghost pin, TWO! Mone CHOPS! The fans “WOO~!” and Mone grins. Yuka swings, Mone blocks her and goes up, up, and then FLYING ARM-DRAGS! Mone dusts herself off while Yuka tumbles away.

Winner: Mercedes Mone, by pinfall (still AEW TBS Champion)
Mone got quite the fight from Yuka, but she not only holds onto this title, but she stays the FOUR BELT BOSS! Will anyone ever end The CEO’s world domination?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite here, and it moved rather smoothly. I can’t be sure, but it felt like there was less talking and more story told through action. Great opening match from Ospreay VS Cage, and they hit all the beats: Omega got attacked backstage; Ospreay still wins despite Archer and Callis getting involved; Don Callis Family beats Ospreay up; Omega makes the save; Don Callis Family still beats him and Ospreay up. I feel like the teaser of the “sixth man” was a little soon if Ospreay & Omega were still going to be on the defensive, but maybe we’ll see the reveal during the tag match for Grand Slam: Australia. It would certainly be a big moment for their newest “biggest show.”
Plus, great story intertwining, it was a bit like the AEW of old. Hangman looking for Swerve but not finding him, then bumping into MJF was good stuff. MJF of course talked smack on Jarrett before Jarrett VS Claudio, and Jarrett VS Claudio was some great stuff. But wow, Moxley needing to get involved to screw over Jarrett? I feel like Claudio could’ve just given Jarrett a low blow and it would’ve been the same. But I suppose Jarrett really being down and out gave MJF his opening to add on, which of course all but guarantees we’re getting MJF VS Jarrett, probably also for Grand Slam: Australia. Again, it’s AEW’s new big special, they’re not having MJF miss that.
Ricochet had a good promo getting all cocky because he thought he was safe, and then he had a great match against AR Fox. Swerve appearing from under the ring (at least I think that’s where he was, the cameras didn’t catch where he came from) was great, and he got to beat up on Ricochet a bit. Ricochet still got away before Swerve could truly stand tall, but this was the go-home to their match next week in Atlanta, and Swerve certainly has the edge on Ricochet. That would usually indicate Swerve loses, and I could see Ricochet cheating to do it. I feel like they could easily set a bigger, better match for Grand Slam, maybe even Revolution, we’ll have to wait and see.
Good snippet from that Moxley interview for Closeup, thought it didn’t add too much to what we got on Collision last week. White VS Yuta was a great match, and while White won, the Death Riders of course came out to go after him. That then of course brought out Rated FTR, but surprisingly no brawl. FTR putting out the challenge for the Midsouth Street Fight is good stuff, and that match will be some awesome stuff, and also hard to call. We also got a good vignette from The Gunns, so maybe we will get them returning to help White against the Death Riders, and then we can actually get a World Trios Championship already.
Good promo from Hobbs to explain why he couldn’t be here tonight, and this was surely legit given that wild fall off the stage in Daily’s Place. Any number of bumps, scrapes, bruises and such could’ve happened when crashing down through tables and hitting the ground, and Hobbs is still only just returning from injury, they can’t risk him getting injured again. Good “New York Minute” from The Learning Tree, but the highlight was Jericho’s continued condescending towards Big Bill. Bill really needs to turn on Jericho before this story is over, and I’d love if Bill also ranted about all the things Jericho got wrong about the USA while trying to be “The King of New York.”
Good promo from Mariah to respond to that confrontation with Toni Storm, and Toni’s promo on Collision will surely be good stuff. Good promo from Vendetta, I feel like whatever match they have with Harley should end up Harley’s win. Then Harley can throw that win in Mone’s face because she wants that title shot in Australia. Speaking of, awesome main event from Mone VS Yuka, probably one of Yuka’s best matches in AEW. But of course Mone won, she’s been going strong and probably will keep going until Kamille comes back or we get another crossover of AEW, NJPW and other partners, aka Forbidden Door: London.
My Score: 8.9/10
