The Ocho has been part of Dynamite since the beginning, but there might be a new beginning in the works! Will Jericho leave his appreciation society behind to join Callis’ “family?” Or will the Spanish God & Dragonslayer win this match to win Jericho back?

Sammy storms up to Callis but Takeshita stands in the way, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Jericho paces around Garcia, drags him up, and hangs him out to dry! Garcia flops off the ropes and Jericho storms over to bring him back up.

The ref is busy with Sammy and Takeshita, and Callis CRACKS Garcia!!

Jericho is stunned but Callis did just save him. Fans boo, but what is Jericho going to do about this? Is this not how Jericho wants to beat his proteges? Jericho still covers, the Don Callis Family wins!

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! But Trent SPEARS Penta! Moxley LARIATS Trent! Moxley takes off his shirt, and he CHOKES Trent! Moxley puts Trent in the ring, CHOPS him, then ROCKS him, repeat! Penta gets in with some goodies, and Moxley BITES Trent! Moxley runs but into a TRASH CAN SHOT! Trent dodges the can, kicks low, and puts Penta in a corner. 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 SAIDO 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. Alex helps Penta bring tables together at the ramp side, and position them just right. Penta then SMACKS Trent off the steel steps!

Trent falls back onto the tables and Penta goes up the corner! Fans are thunderous but Moxley hurries over! Moxley CLUBS Penta, then climbs up with the wood! Moxley DIGS the wires into Penta’s face! Penta falls to the floor but Trent goes up after Moxley! Trent ROCKS and CHOPS Moxley, then climbs up to go after him! SUPERPLEX through the tables!! Fans lose their minds as Dynamite goes picture in picture!

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! Moxley flops down, Penta SUPERKICKS Trent! Penta puts Trent on the one table, and fans fire up as Penta goes to the corner! Penta climbs up, but Trent gets up to ROCK Penta! Trent climbs up, but Penta fights the superplex! Penta fires body shots, CLUBS Trent, then adjusts, to SUPER DESTROYER through the table!!!

Fans are thunderous as we’ve seen four tables be destroyed in this match! Moxley gets out of the wreckage, “This is Awesome!” as everyone is still down! Moxley goes out, and he brings a BLACK BAG! This is never good… IT’S THUMBTACKS!! Fans are losing their minds again as Moxley strips Penta of his shirt! And then underhooks the arms! Penta fights, wrenches out, kicks low and reels Moxley in! “CERO! MIEDO!” But Moxley wrenches out! GOTCH PILEDRIVER to the tacks!!! Cover, TWO!!! Penta survives but Moxley hauls him up!

But Trent runs in! Moxley hits a CUTTER to the tacks! Moxley hauls Trent up, but Trent Alabama Lifts! CRUNCHY onto the tacks!! Cover, Penta CHUCKS the trash can!! Fans are electric as all three men are down! Fans hope these three “FIGHT FOREVER!” but we still have so much of the 200th episode to go! All three men stand, and the brawling begins again! Penta hits Moxley, Moxley hits back, but then Trent hits Moxley, Moxley hits Trent, Penta KICKS Trent! Moxley ROCKS Trent but Penta CHOPS Mox! Mox CHOPS Trent, Trent ROCKS Mox and CHOPS Penta! Trent fires off, Penta CHOPS him!

Trent fires off shots again and again and again, and fans fire up with him! Trent runs, into a SUPERKICK! Moxley LARIATS Trent onto tacks! Penta and Moxley start brawling now, forearm for forearm! 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.

Lethal headlocks but Nick throws body shots! Nick runs, but Lethal hip tosses, cartwheels and basement dropkicks! And then Lethal mocks Nick doing Macho Man. Lethal drags Nick up to bump him off buckles, and stomps a mudhole into him! The ref counts, Lethal lets off with a haymakers! But Nick throws those back! So Lethal RAMS Nick into the corner, scoops and hits a BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Nick is still in this but Lethal drags him up and over. Lethal wrenches and CLUBS the arm, then CLUBS it again! Tag to Jarrett, they double whip Nick but Nick sends Lethal away, and fights off Jarrett’s Russian Leg Sweep!

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?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is truly the greatest women’s champion in AEW history!

The bell rings and fans rally up as these two stare down. Soho & Saraya rally for Storm but the fans are on Shida’s side. That upsets the Outcasts, but Storm and Shida circle.

Storm turns it around, she fires off but the ref counts! Shida turns it back around! Shida swings, Storm bails out! The Outcasts regroup and fans boo.

The ref reprimands, Storm knees free and whips, but Shida ducks ‘n’ dodges to run Storm over! Fans fire up as Shida rains down fists on Storm! The ref reprimands about hair pulling, but Shida turns Storm over, Camel Clutch but for haymakers to the head! Fans fire up, Shida then CLUBS Storm in the shoulders and chest! 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. Shida keeps Storm from escaping into the crowd, and she rains down fists! Fans fire up and count along, but Storm YANKS Shida down at 5! Storm hurries into the ring just to refresh the count herself. Storm whips Shida into the ring, then drags her to a corner. Storm bumps Shida off buckles!

Winner: Hikaru Shida, by pinfall (NEW 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

PLAY BY PLAY

Tony Schiavone is in the ring.

The fans are already fired up as Tony welcomes us to AEW Dynamite in New Orleans! “Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome with me to begin this program, multi-platinum recording artist, entrepreneur, and University of New Orleans’ own ‘Coach P,’ ladies and gentlemen, MASTER P!” The fans fire up again as indeed, THE Master P, the hip hop legend and the owner of House of Glory Wrestling, makes his way to the ring! P says what up New Orleans! It’s AEW Dynamite, UNHHH~! It is his pleasure to introduce to us the NEW AEW World Trios Champions, THE OPPS! “Make ’em say UNHHH~!”

The fans cheer even more as Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata and “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs make their way out, wearing those University of New Orleans Pirates colors! Samoa Joe gets himself a mic to say, “Lemme try that one one time. Make ’em say UNHHH~!” “UNHHH~!” “Nana nana!” Master P says it is about to get rowdy rowdy, ’bout it ’bout it! Joe says yes, sir! It is good to be here tonight! Because you see, The Opps have come to celebrate. The fans like the sound of that! Joe says before that, props to big brother Master P. Joe thanks P for the introductions, and for everything he does for this great city. Joe appreciates it, he knows the people appreciate.

Joe says BigBlueUNO.com, see what P is doing for the student athletes here. Master P says there’s always love for the student athletes. Master P is Coach P, there’s nothing but love for this city. Joe says that’s a good thing, because they love New Orleans, too. When they thought about the best city to celebrate a championship win, it’s right here in New Orleans! But wait, the Death Riders are here to ruin the fun. Well, Marina Shafir comes out from the back, but Wheeler Yuta rushes in from the ramp! He CLOBBERS Shibata, Claudio CLOBBERS Hobbs, and Moxley uses the briefcase to CLOBBER Joe! The fans boo and Master P can’t believe it!

Claudio drags Hobbs out, Yuta keeps after Shibata, and then Hobbs is sent into steel steps! Moxley CHOKES Joe, Marina is there to hold Joe down, and then Moxley stomps Joe! The fans boo but Master P stands his ground! The fans cheer on the coach but this is still a 3v1 situation. Moxley steps to Master P, and then Master P chuckles…? Because JOE IS BACK UP! Joe has the COQUINA CLUTCH on Moxley! Shibata and Hobbs drag Yuta & Claudio from the ring to fire in return! Master P even gets some shots on Mox! The fans fire up as the tables have turned on the Death Riders! P laughs as Moxley goes out, again!

Master P says this is New Orleans, right? They want all the smoke! This about to be a problem. Go ahead, put ’em to sleep! But wait, The Elite rushes out here! And Matthew Jackson has a chair! He SMACKS Joe down to free Moxley! Master P hurries out of there now, there’s a lot more going on. The fans boo as the Death Riders turn the tables back around. The Bucks say you’re welcome, Moxley. But then Marina steps in and keeps Moxley from retaliating, And then “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE! The fans fire up as now the Realest is on the scene! Joe gets back up again, The Elite retreat now that things are getting complicated.

But then Kenny Omega makes his way out here! And The Cleaner has a chair of his own! The Elite scurry after where The Death Riders made their exit! The fans fire up as AEW International Champion stands with the World Trios Champions and the Most Dangerous Man in AEW. Then these five look to each other, and Joe grabs the mic again. “In respect to whose house it is, nice to see you again, brother. I will say this: JON MOXLEY! You wanted me, now you have me. I’m gonna beat your ass, choke you out, and ladies and gentlemen, I’ll be taking back my AEW World Championship.” The mission statement has been issued, but will all part of “Team AEW V3” be okay with that?

 

Backstage interview with The Patriarchy.

Renee Paquette is with Christian Cage, Kip Sabian, Mother Shayna, and the youngest ever singles champion in ROH or AEW history, the NEW ROH World Television Champion, Nick Wayne. A huge congratulations to Nick, but Christian says actually, the congratulations should all go to him. He even takes the belt from Nick! Christian says Nick would agree that if not for The Patriarch, Nick would not be standing here the champion. Because Christian is the one who forced Nick to step out of his shell, find himself, spread his wings and truly become what it is Christian’s always known Nick to be, and that’s The Prodigy.

Christian still says they’re all proud of Nick. They all celebrated. In fact, Christian and Shayna celebrated Nick’s victory extensively, later that night. Nick scowls but Christian says, “Do you see what happens, Nick, when you listen? When you shut your mouth, you open your ears, and you actually listen to me?! Good things happen, and I always tell the truth, don’t I?” Nick asks Christian if he sees what happens when you actually stick to the plan: You actually win championships. Nick tries to take his belt back, but Christian holds onto it. Christian then willingly gives it over, and says, “I love my family.”

Christian storms off, and neither Kip nor Shayna is really sure what to make of this. Is there about to be a new head of the household now that Nick’s standing up for himself?

 

Ricochet VS Mark Briscoe!

The One & Only is brushing off the losses that have plagued him in hopes of reaching his goal of gold in AEW. However, will he #ReachForTheSky against the Sussex County Chicken? Or can Ricochet #ManUp against the former ROH World Heavyweight Champion?

The bell rings and the fans rally up. The two circle, the fans taunt Ricochet with, “OH~ Ricochet’s Bald~!” Ricochet is annoyed, and he goes out to bond with the fan in the front row who is also bald! He claims everyone else is making fun of this guy, too! In fact, isn’t Mark bald? Why aren’t people talking Mark for being bald?! The fans chant, “You Aren’t Mark! You Aren’t Mark!” The two tie up, Ricochet powers Mark back, but Mark turns things around to corner Ricochet. The ref has Mark back off and the fans rally up. Ricochet and Mark reset, feel things out, but Ricochet goes to the ropes for defense.

The fans boo but Mark waits on Ricochet. Ricochet and Mark circle, feel things out, but again Ricochet is in a corner. The ref backs Mark off, and then Ricochet runs up! But Mark blocks a shot to fire hands in return! Mark keeps Ricochet from escaping to ROCK him again! And again! Mark whips, Ricochet reverses, and Ricochet drops down, hurdles over, but Mark follows to ROCK him with a forearm! Mark kicks low, then runs, and he BOOTS Ricochet! Ricochet staggers, Mark BOOTS him outta the ring! The fans fire up and Mark WRECKS Ricochet with a dropkick! The fans fire up more as Mark drags Ricochet up and CHOPS!

Mark swings, Ricochet dodges, and Ricochet goes up the apron, Mark joins in and dares Ricochet to fight. Ricochet kicks, Mark blocks, and he spins Ricochet for a waistlock. Ricochet fights the lift, elbows free, but Mark clinches! Ricochet CLUBS away on Mark, then BOOTS him! Mark falls back, Ricochet taunts the fans and he taunts Mark. Ricochet scuffs Mark, taunts the fans, then runs, but into a DROPKICK!

The fans boo but Ricochet brings Mark up to shove him into more ropes! Mark sputters, Ricochet builds speed, and Ricochet WRECKS Mark with a dropkick! Ricochet taunts the fans, taunts Mark, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Ricochet take a moment to catches his breath, then he storms over to Mark to CLUB him on the back! Ricochet drags Mark up to RAM him into the apron!

Ricochet puts Mark in the ring, CLOBBERS him, then rains down fists! T he ref reprimands, the fans taunt Ricochet, and Ricochet argues with the ref before going back for Mark. Ricochet shines Mark’s head before he throws hands, and he SLAPS Mark on the head! Mark just gets mad, Ricochet SLAPS him again!

Ricochet struts and soaks up the heat, then he goes back to cover Mark. TWO, and Ricochet clamps onto Mark with a chinlock. Mark endures, even as Ricochet digs a knee into his back. Mark fights up, fires body shots, but Ricochet knees low! Ricochet whips Mark to a corner, but Mark goes up and out!

Ricochet runs up, Mark blocks a shot to ROCK Ricochet! Mark then climbs, leaps, but Ricochet avoids the ax handle! Mark comes back, ducks ‘n’ dodges, but then Ricochet dodges to CUTTER! Dynamite returns to single picture as Ricochet covers, TWO! Ricochet is frustrated but the fans fire up. Ricochet brushes that off to then go to the corner. Ricochet goes up, says this is for the fans. AX- atomic drop! The fans fire up as Mark dares Ricochet to take a shot. Ricochet swings, Mark dodges and Mark CHOPS! And CHOPS! And fires a flurry of forearms! Mark whips, Ricochet reverses, but Mark FLYING FOREARMS!

The fans fire up as Ricochet flounders to a corner. Mark runs up to LARIAT, and BULL- NO, Ricochet stops that, only for Mark to SLAP, SLAP, SLAP the bald head! Then FISHERMAN BUSTER! Cover, TWO! Ricochet survives but the fans rally up behind Mark. Mark drags Ricochet up, but Ricochet grabs the ropes. Mark pulls Ricochet free, but Ricochet slips down and dragon sleepers, only for Mark to drop down and victory roll! TWO, and Mark hurries, only for Ricochet to trip! Jackknife bridge, TWO! Mark brings Ricochet up to Canadian Rack, but Ricochet slips free and backslides! TWO, and Ricochet NORTHERN LIGHTS!

Ricochet rolls through and deadlifts to a BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO!! The fans are thunderous as Mark survives again! Ricochet keeps taunting Mark, but Mark SLAPS Ricochet!

Ricochet highs tacks, feet on ropes, TWO!! Mark has the prawn hold, AND WINS!

Winner: Mark Briscoe, by pinfall

Ricochet couldn’t win the International Championship, he couldn’t win his share of $400,000, and now he loses to Chicken! The fans celebrate with Mark, but Ricochet’s a sore loser! He grabs a chair and JAMS Mark up with it! The fans boo, but Ricochet SMACKS Mark on the back! And SMACKS him again! The fans boo more while Mark writhes, but Ricochet brings out the GOLDEN SCISSORS! But wait! Kevin Knight rushes out here! The Jet DECKS Ricochet! He dares Ricochet to try something, then he stands on the scissors! Ricochet runs away! Kevin says he’ll cut Ricochet’s beard!

Knight then checks on Mark. Mark is alright, and the fans cheer. We even see Rock ‘n’ Roll Express here! They cheer on Mark, will Mark soon be headed for new title opportunities?

 

Tony Schiavone is back in the ring.

He welcomes us back to the show, but just as he’s about to begrudgingly welcome out FTR, he is interrupted by Stokely Hathaway! Big Stoke says there has been a change of plans, and he’s got this now. “They are living legends. Top guys! TEN TIME World Tag Team Champions! New Orleans, give it up for F T R!” The fans boo, but the music hits and Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler make their way out, walking with Stokely to the ring. FTR shake hands with Schiavone, and Stokely reintroduces himself. He will address the elephant in the room. FTR were suspended and fined for accidentally hitting someone, and simply touching Tony Schiavone?

That is interesting to Stokely, because there are other people who have literally set people on fire. Hangman Page has committed arson! Ricochet decides to come to work and shanks people with scissors! And should we even list all of Moxley’s crimes? Stokely will. Acts of terrorism, kidnapping, extortion, and all to FTR, yet he walks around here unpunished. That is unjust! But do not worry, that’s why Stokely is here. Stokely says that suspension will be expunged from their permanent records. Those fines will be reimbursed, based on the very public, ugly, and nasty way this has all played out.

Moving forward, if you wanna have a conversation with the Top Guys, you need to have a conversation with Stokely. As of today, Stokely Hathaway is the new agent for the greatest tag team today, F T R! Now, Schiavone, do your job. Schiavone thanks Stokely, and then holds the mic for FTR. Cash says beautiful work from Stokely. But what happened last week with Daniel Garcia was not an easy decision for them. But “Danny” gave them no choice when he made his own decision. The fans boo, Cash says please be polite, he is talking. Don’t forget, it was 2Point0 that got in FTR’s face! It was 2Point0 that came at FTR! It was 2Point0 that wanted a fight!

And from where FTR is from, when you want a fight, you better be ready to fight. And well, 2Point0 wasn’t ready for that fight. Cash has respect for Danny, though. When he asked them to stop, FTR stopped. Danny is FTR’s friend. But then he goes and treats them like that? Don’t forget, Danny, you came to them for help. When every other veteran here left him high and dry and directionless, it was FTR that got Danny to the TNT Championship. FTR put Danny first, they put Cope first, they put AEW first, and that got FTR nothing but disrespect! NO MORE! FTR first from now on! And you’re gonna boo them for that?!

The fans do indeed boo, but Dax steps in. What’s with the hostility? Relax. Speaking of living legends, there are a couple legends in the house right now! Rock ‘n’ Roll Express are here! Dax invites Ricky & Robert to the ring to share the spotlight. Ricky & Robert stand up, the fans cheer, and Dax says c’mon now, we’ve got TV time ticking. Watch your step, we don’t want anyone falling. Rock ‘n’ Roll Express do indeed step into the ring with FTR, Stokely & Schiavone, and Dax tells the fans that if they didn’t cheer FTR, no need to cheer Rock ‘n’ Roll. The fans boo but Dax says one of the greatest teams of all time, Rock ‘n’ Roll Express!

Ricky & Robert have had some of the greatest matches with some of the greatest teams. Which do they feel is their greatest match of all time? Before Ricky or Robert can answer, Dax says it would have to be Philadelphia with the Midnight Express. And to be honest, no shade, but Midnight Express was better. The fans boo, Dax says no, hold on, tonight is going to be about Rock ‘n’ Roll Express. 40 YEARS of Rock ‘n’ Roll Express, they’re still going strong. How old are they? And again, Dax interrupts by saying that he’d have to say just on looks alone, he’d go with 109. And being 109 means they were running hard in the 80s, if you know what he means.

What would they say was their greatest experience in the 80s? Ricky stops Dax from interrupting this time! The fans cheer and Ricky says no more of this. Don’t try and embarrass Ricky & Robert in front of the wrestling world. Stokely steps in and says there doesn’t need to be hostility. This is kinda ironic, but Stokely has something. He has Dax hold his mic, and then he brings out the brand new FTR merch shirt! FTR: Living Legend Killers. This one’s for Ricky. Stokely throws the shirt at Ricky, and then FTR attacks! The fans boo as Cash DECKS Robert, and then Dax reels Ricky in! Cash goes up, MIND BREAKER!!

But here comes The Paragon! FTR runs from Adam Cole, Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly! The Top Guys stoop to new lows, but will The Paragon make sure FTR get the worst of it?

 

The Young Bucks VS Kevin Knight & “Speedball” Mike Bailey!

We saw Matthew & Nicholas Jackson earlier tonight try and again ingratiate themselves to the Death Riders, only to be reminded they have many more enemies than friends. But this match is really only because The Jet & Speedball went a little overboard with their celebration last week, what with the $400,000 and The Opps winning the World Trios Championships. Will The Bucks be a couple of buzzkills? Or will they still throw a Superkick Party?

The teams sort out and Matt starts against Bailey. The fans cheer as the two circle. Bailey trips Matt, things speed up, and Matt stays low. Mike handsprings, then bypasses Matt to drop down and hurdle over! Matt leaps over, but Bailey ducks a kick! Matt ducks a kick, and then DOUBLE SUPERKICKS hook each other! The fans fire up as the two hop around, but Nick runs in and CLOBBERS Bailey! Knight storms in but Nick kicks and CLUBS him down! The fans boo the Bucks, but they bring their opponents up. The Bucks double whip, but Knight & Bailey duck ‘n’ dodge, only for The Bucks to DOUBLE BACK ELBOW!

The Bucks double kip up and soak up the heat as they hit their classic pose. But then Knight & Bailey are up! They spin The Bucks around, Bailey SOBATS Nick but Matt ROCKS Knight! Matt throat chops Bailey! Matt whips Knight, but Bailey gives him the boost for the CROSSBODY! Then they TOSS Matt out onto Nick! The fans fire up as Knight & Bailey say #2Fly! DOUBLE PLANCHAS take down The Bucks! The fans fire up and high-five with Knight. Knight & Bailey put Matt in, they DOUBLE CHOP, then they double whip. Matt grabs ropes, Knight runs up but Matt TOSSES him! Matt ELBOWS Bailey away, and then Nick PENALTY KICKS Knight!

Bailey runs up, but into Nick’s GAMANGIRI! Matt wheelbarrows Bailey and Nick slingshots in, WHEELBARROW FACEBUSTER COMBO! Then Nick cartwheels and MOONSAULTS onto Knight! Nick soaks up the heat, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

The Bucks soak up the heat while Matt paces around Bailey. Matt stomps Bailey to the corner, Nick CLUBS Knight, and then Matt bumps Bailey off buckles. Tag to Nick, and they put Bailey in the ropes for the DRAPING SWANTON BOMB! Cover, TWO! Bailey stays in this, and we see Knight returning to the corner. Nick runs to KNEE Bailey in the back! Nick stays between Bailey and Knight while mockingly holding out Bailey’s hand to Knight. Nick then gets in Knight’s face, and the ref has to keep Knight from rushing after Nick! Nick claps to fake the tag, and Matt runs up to stomp Bailey down! Matt CHOKES Bailey, all while the ref argues with Knight!

Matt stops choking Bailey to then drag him back to the corner. Tag to Nick, and The Bucks CATAPULT GAMANGIRI, and then DOUBLE STOMP BACKBREAKER! Nick taunts Knight more, then drags Bailey to a cover, TWO! Bailey is still in this but Nick stays on him with buckle bumps. Nick then scrapes Bailey’s face against the ropes! Nick stops to soak up the heat, and then he drags Bailey into a facelock. Bailey endures, fights up, and fires body shots! Bailey runs, but Nick WHEEL KICKS him down! Cover, TWO! Nick drags Bailey back into a facelock and he grinds Bailey down. The fans rally, Bailey fights up, and Dynamite returns to single picture.

Knight coaches Bailey up, but Nick suplexes! Bailey cradle counters, TWO! Nick runs up, but into a ROUNDHOUSE! Both men are down, Bailey and Nick crawl, hot tag to Matt! Nick then BLASTS Knight, and the fans boo while Matt brushes him off dismissively. The Bucks drag Bailey up, double whip, but Bailey handsprings! The Bucks get clear, but Bailey dodges their double lariat to BOOT Matt! Bailey dodges Nick to fire LIGHTNING KICKS! ENZIGIRI! The fans fire up as Bailey crawls! Nick also goes for the corner, hot tags to Matt and Knight! Knight dodges Matt to BLAST Nick! And then Knight rallies on Matt!

Knight whips, Matt reverses, but Knight goes up and over, comes back and LARIATS! The fans fire up with Knight, and he runs in at the corner! STRINGER SPLASH! Whip and LARIAT in the corner! Then a whip, but Matt wrenches. Knight dodges Matt to pop him up and SLAM! UFO SPLASH! Cover, TWO! Knight waits on Matt, then somersaults for a DD- NO, Matt turns satellite DDT into NORTHERN LIGHTS! The Polar Express gets going as Matt NORTHERN LIGHTS again! Bailey runs up, but he just gets added to a DOUBLE NORTHERN LIGHTS! The fans boo but Nick cheers Matt on. Matt runs up, and he blocks Bailey’s boots!

Matt puts Bailey in the ropes, Nick GAMANGIRIS, and then Matt SUPERKICKS Knight! Nick goes out, Matt drags Knight out along the ropes. Nick is up, DRAPING DOUBLE STOMP BOMB for Knight, and Nick somersaults through to DRAPING BACKSTABBER Bailey! Cover on Knight, TWO!! Knight survives and Matt mockingly applauds. Matt says that’s good stuff. The fans rally and Knight rises, but Matt smiles. Matt brings Knight up, but Knight JAWBREAKERS free! Hot tag to Bailey! But Matt fakes him out to DDT! Matt soaks up the heat, tags Nick, and Nick soaks up the heat. “Who wants to see a Superkick Partaaay~?!”

The fans are torn as Nick aims, but Bailey blocks the superkick! Bailey spins Nick around to SUPERKICK him! Matt SUPERKICKS Bailey! Knight SUPERKICKS Matt! Nick SUPERKICKS Knight! Bailey runs up, Nick dodges, but then Bailey dodges! DOUBLE ROUNDHOUSES take them down! Matt and Knight both kip up, but they DOUBLE LARIAT each other down!! Nick and Bailey kip back up, Nick goes Matrix to avoid Bailey’s kick! But Bailey spins to hook Nick’s kick, only for DOUBLE ROLLING ROUNDHOUSES to take them both down!! The fans are electric for “A E DUB! A E DUB!” giving them this tag match!

The teams crawl for their corners, Bailey tags Knight. Knight storms up on Nick, but Nick ROCKS him with a forearm! And another! Knight roars, but Nick ROUNDHOUSES! Nick runs, but Knight DROPKICKS right through him! Bailey gets in and he Electric Chair Lifts Nick! Knight says Time2- NO, Matt intercepts Knight’s flight with an Electric Chair Lift of his own! But now it’s a chicken fight! The fans are going nuts as Knight throws hands on Nick, only for Matt to CLAW at Bailey’s face! The two back up, Bailey puts Nick on the top rope and Knight fights free of Matt. Knight shoves Matt and Bailey bypasses him, Matt runs into Nick’s Johnson!

Backstage interview with Toni Storm.

Renee is now with the Timeless AEW Women’s World Champion, as well as butler Luther, and notes that tonight, it is Kris Statlander VS Jamie Hayter in the Women’s Owen Hart Tournament Semifinals. Renee also notes that Toni has been watching everyone in this tournament very closely. Toni says, “And why shouldn’t I? These are the preeminent individuals in our entire industry. So ladies, good luck. Pound your flesh, rip your tits, but don’t you dare get any blood on my pearls. And remember: You are now watching your feature presentation.” Renee says speaking of feature presentations, this weekend in Hollywood, Toni will be on the red carpet for the TCM Film Festival.

Toni says yes, some new little science fiction film. Renee says it’s Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Toni says there’s not an empire big enough to strike her back. But remember, she is a lover and a fighter. She isn’t just going to spend this weekend cucking around with Ben Mankiewicz! She has an idea! Toni grabs her title and stands up on top of a chair. “Attention, slop tarts! This Saturday on Collision, I’m going to have a Championship Eliminator Performance! So if there’s any b*tch that has the itch-” Oh, Queen Aminata steps up immediately. She says she’s back, and you know she likes to fight. So, let’s do this.

Toni says, “No, no, darling. It’s… Let’s make cinema!” Toni has Luther carry her away, but will Playoff Palooza end up an underdog sports story?

 

The Hurt Syndicate is here!

New Orleans fires up and sings along, “We Hurt~ People!” as Montel Vontavious Porter, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin make their way to the ring. MVP holds up a fan’s sign that says, “WE HURT PEOPLE,” then he grabs a mic. “Attention, AEW viewing audience. This is an official announcement from The Hurt Syndicate. On behalf of the Standard of Excellence, Shelton Benjamin, and the All Mighty, Bobby Lashley, we are the Hurt Syndicate, and we hurt people.” The fans cheer that! MVP says in fact, they’re so good at that, that every single tag team they’ve faced for these AEW World Tag Team Championships haven’t been back!

MVP says they’re all home healing up. Then the Gates of Agony stepped up, and they said they like to be hurt? That’s a silly thing to say to two of the most dangerous men on the planet! But they obliged, and they hurt those two. You will not be seeing The Gates of Agony in the near future. But perhaps you will see them eventually, because Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona are hungry young lions and they will return. Now is just not their time. This time right now, MVP will hand the mic over to Lashley, because he has a few things he’d like to say. The fans cheer that! MVP passes the mic to Lashley, but then an engine starts revving.

MVP sighs as we see a fancy sports car pull into the parking lot. And out steps none other than Maxwell Jacob Friedman. MJF tells a guy to keep it running for him, then nut taps him on the way out! MJF laughs at his own prank, and even says, “What a do*che.” MJF heads to gorilla, and that means he makes his entrance! Lashley smirks because of course MJF is making his way out here. MJF has a mic to say cut his music. The fans cheer MJF on, and MJF tells the Hurt Syndicate, “Gentlemen, I know… Hell, we all know you had a good time last week, okay? And if you guys wanna have a good time for the rest of your lives, all I need are three thumbs up. That’s it.”

MJF waits, and MVP says okay, let’s try this one more time. MVP says we know how he feels, he is still thumbs up. The fans cheer for “THREE THUMBS UP! THREE THUMBS UP!” Shelton is no longer intimidated by Lashley, and he gives the thumbs up! MJF is excited, but Shelton denies him the hug. Shelton tells MJF that to make this real clear, this isn’t a thumbs up because of “a bunch of broads and a watch.” The only reason Shelton gave MJF a thumbs up is because of MVP, so don’t forget that. MJF says of course! He loves Montel! We ALL love Montel, right? The fans cheer! MJF says, “We also love our good friend, Bob!”

The fans cheer for “BOB! BOB! BOB!” and MJF says c’mon, let’s see it. Lashley holds out his hand, but MJF says hold on, hold on, he has a feeling he knows where Lashley is going with this. So please, give him one more second. MJF knows Lashley has his reservations, but if he’s in the Syndicate, then they’ll get all the money, the power, the respect, and the gold! Lashley brings a lot to the table, but with all due respect, there are things MJF brings to the table that Lashley does not. MJF knows AEW better than anybody. MJF knows how to cut corners better than anybody! And he knows how to win by any means necessary better than anybody.

If they let MJF in, they don’t just run AEW, they run professional wrestling! MVP says that’s a good point. MJF says he knows they got off on the wrong foot, but really, that’s not MJF’s fault. But, but, but…! MJF is willing to admit as Salt of the Earth, he’s been a bit prickly over the rejections. So MJF wants Lashley to know, from the bottom of his heart, two words he’s never said before… “I’m sor…” MJF trails off and the fans chant, “Say You’re Sorry!” MJF says he is, okay? Shut up! “Bob…! I’m sorry!” MJF gets it out and the fans cheer! MJF catches his breath and then Lashley holds up his hand. MJF panics and says before Lashley puts the thumb down…!

Did Lashley see the car he drove here in? Did they like that car? If Lashley gives a thumbs up, that car is his! MVP says that’s another good offer. Lashley chuckles and says he needs the keys. Of course! But they’re in the back, so we gotta take a walk. Okay, let’s go take a walk. MJF says we’re taking a walk! The fans cheer as MJF leads the way back to the parking lot. MJF tells the fans they’re as tough to look at as they’ve been lovely, so thank you. But will the keys to that incredible car be the key to MJF joining the Hurt Syndicate?

 

MJF and the Hurt Syndicate arrive in the parking lot.

MJF has the valet hand the keys back, and MJF has them look at this beauty. Talk about horsepower! It is gorgeous! Lashley takes the keys, steps into the driver’s seat, and Shelton joins him at shotgun. MJF asks for a thumbs up, but Lashley just drives away! Thumbs… DOWN?!? MJF just got tricked! MVP has MJF calm down and says you gotta give the people what they want. MJF grits his teeth as he tells Lashley to have fun with the car… But if it isn’t gifts that will win The All Mighty over, what must MJF give him?

 

Backstage interview with Hangman Page.

Renee is with the once again Anxious Millennial Cowboy, and she notes that was a huge victory for Hangman in the Owen Hart Tournament. Hangman beat the wild card, Josh Alexander, and is now set to face Kyle Fletcher next week in the semifinals held in Norfolk, Virginia. Kyle viciously attacked last week, so how is- “The MOMENT that I see Kyle Fletcher, I am going to put his ass in the ground! And it looks like somebody wants to get in here, so get your ass in here.” MJF steps in and says, “Howdy, Cowboy. How you been? You look great. By the way, I wanted to compliment you on your new haircut. I love that it makes it look like you met your wife at a family reunion.”

Hangman says MJF hasn’t changed anything about himself since he was 12 years old. But Hangman is in the middle of an interview, so unless MJF has something of substance to add, he should just get in his car and- Oh…! Right, we just saw what happened there. MJF sarcastically laughs that off, and says it’s “Joke Man” Adam Page. Here’s a joke for him: Guy enters the Owen Hart Tournament, only to then watch MJF stroll on in through the backdoor with the Hurt Syndicate to reclaim what is rightfully his and become a TWO-TIME AEW World Champion. Hangman says like MJF knows anything about the backdoor.

MJF’s whole plan is to use Hurt Syndicate, but how does that get him an inch closer to the world title? But maybe after Hangman beat MJF’s ass at Revolution, MJF had to figure something out because he knows he can’t win matches, and he knows he can’t hang with Hangman. MJF says wow, first of all, of course Hangman doesn’t understand his intentions with The Hurt Syndicate, Hangman’s an idiot. Second of all, Hangman wants to act high and might because he beat MJF, well check the math, they’re 1-1. If they ever do face off again, MJF sends Seabiscuit to the glue factory where he belongs.

And third of all, the personal favorite for MJF: Hangman thinks he’s a badass for being in the Owen Hart Cup? Hangman is a great wrestler, MJF will not take that away from him. But if Hangman does manage to get to the finals, he’ll just do what he does best, and that’s choke. MJF leaves, Hangman shouts he has something for MJF to choke on! Dumbass! Hangman storms off, but will he make it through the semifinals? Or will the Aussie Arrow make sure Hangman can’t go Double or Nothing?

 

Josh Alexander & Konosuke Takeshita w/ Don Callis Family VS Will Ospreay & Brody King!

Speaking of the Owen Hart Cup, the Walking Weapon lost to The Cowboy, and the Alpha lost to the Aerial Assassin in their epic semifinal showdown. But now the Don Callis Family is hoping to change the odds at Double or Nothing using brute force! Will Alexander & Takeshita make the Family proud? Or will the #BillyGOAT and King of Death be a truly killer combo?

The teams sort out and Ospreay starts against Takeshita to start where they left off from last time! The fans fire up as the two circle, and Callis of course joins commentary. Ospreay and Konosuke feel things out, only for Alexander to CLOBBER Ospreay from behind! Konosuke BLASTS Brody off the apron, the ref reprimands, but the Don Callis Family mug Ospreay. They double whip, DOUBLE ELBOW, then stand Ospreay up for DOUBLE BACK SUPLEXES! They shake hands, and then DOUBLE ELBOW DROP! Takeshita flexes, then he drags Ospreay up. Konosuke bumps Ospreay off buckles, tags Alexander, and Alexander ROCKS Ospreay!

Alexander whips Ospreay, Ospreay reveres and atomic drops! Then he CHOPS Alexander down, before he STANDING MOONSAULT FLOPS as Alexander moves! Alexander grabs a leg for an ANKLE LOCK! Ospreay rolls and throws Alexander away, but Alexander is right back to scoop and SLAM! Alexander runs to drop a KNEE, but the fans sing for “Ospreay~, Ospreay Ospreay Ospreay~!” Alexander whips corner to corner, Ospreay goes up and over, then Ospreay keeps moving to RANA Alexander! Then he arm-drags Alexander down to an armlock! The fans bark as Ospreay tags in Brody! Brody & Ospreay double whip, then DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLE!

Konosuke runs up, but Brody scoops and SLAMS him onto Alexander! Then Brody whips Ospreay to FLAPJACK him onto Konosuke & Alexander! The fans fire up, and Brody adds a DOUBLE SENTON! The fans bark, Brody stands Alexander up, and Brody CHOPS him to a corner! Brody ROCKS Alexander, brings him around, and CHOPS again! Alexander goes to the corner but Brody ROCKS and CHOPS him again! And CHOPS! And then he stands on Alexander’s neck! Ospreay asks for a tag, Brody chops him as a tag! Ospreay says okay, thanks… Ospreay steps in, Alexander JABS but Ospreay CHOPS!

Ospreay whips, Alexander grabs the ropes, but Ospreay runs up, only for Alexander to put him on the apron. Ospreay ROCKS Alexander, takes aim, but Konosuke anchors Ospreay’s legs! Konosuke sits Ospreay down and Alexander CROSSBODIES! The fans boo but Callis and Lance Archer like what they see, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Callis whispers something to Konosuke before Konosuke rolls into the ring. Alexander looms over Ospreay, holds him up, and Konosuke distracts the ref, allowing Callis to get a cheap shot in! Callis is giddy as he goes back to commentary. Alexander then storms in and he stomps Ospreay around. Alexander stalks Ospreay, CHOPS him, then Konosuke CHOKES Ospreay in the corner! The ref reprimands, but Alexander scoops and SLAMS Osprey! Tag to Konosuke and he goes up to SUPER SENTON! Cover, TWO! Konosuke drags Ospreay up, reels him in, and Ospreay endures the COBRA TWIST! The ref checks on Ospreay, but that lets Konosuke link up with Alexander!

The ref looks and sees what they’re up to, so Alexander lets go. Konosuke scoops Ospreay for a BACKBREAKER! Tag to Alexander, he stalks Ospreay, and he steps on Ospreay’s foot to keep him from Brody. Alexander then stomps the ankle! Alexander grabs a leg, twists Ospreay’s ankle, then he JAMS the leg up! Ospreay hobbles away, but he still CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! But Alexander dropkicks the bad leg! Ospreay falls in a heap, and Alexander fishhooks him into sitting up! Alexander CLUBS Ospreay in the chest, soaks up the heat, and then he stalks Ospreay to ropes. Konosuke is there to CHOKE Ospreay again!

The ref reprimands, Konosuke stops, and Alexander argues with the ref. Konosuke HOTSHOTS Ospreay! Ospreay staggers away, the ref keeps Brody back, and Alexander drags Ospreay up to UPPERCUT! Ospreay staggers to a corner, Alexander UPPERCUTS him again! Ospreay falls, Alexander clamps on a chinlock! Dynamite returns to single picture and the fans rally up. Ospreay fights up to fire body shots, then he reaches out to Brody. The fans rally, Alexander holds Ospreay back, but Ospreay fires a forearm! Ospreay still reaches out, but Alexander still holds on! Ospreay fires another forearm, and another, but Alexander ducks the shot!

Alexander waistlocks but Ospreay fights the lift. Ospreay backs Alexander down but Konosuke tags in. Konosuke taunts Brody, then runs up, but Ospreay BOOTS him! Ospreay ELBOWS Alexander, then ROCKS Konosuke, and repeat! The fans rally, but Konosuke kicks low. Konosuke & Alexander double whip, but Ospreay handsprings to DOUBLE PELE! The fans fire up and Ospreay crawls, hot tag to Brody! Brody BOOTS Konosuke, then LARIATS Alexander! Brody SPLASHES Konosuke in a corner, then he BACKDROPS Alexander! Brody storms up on Konosuke, whips, but Konosuke reverses and kicks low.

The fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” while Konosuke runs, ducks ‘n ‘dodges, but the SOUTHPAW LARIAT finds him! The fans fire up while Konosuke bails out. Brody roars, and builds speed!? Brody DIVES and takes out Alexander & Konosuke! The fans fire up as Brody then drags them both up, brings them around the way, and makes them sit in the same chair. Alexander is on Konosuke’s lap, and Brody CHOPS Alexander! Seems like Konosuke still felt the force of it through Alexander. Brody gets space, and New Orleans barks along. Brody runs back in, and he CROSSBODIES them against the barriers!

Brody puts Konosuke in the ring, then runs corner to corner to LARIAT! Ospreay tags in and Brody fireman’s carries! DOUBLE STOMP into a DEATH VALLEY BACKBREAKER! Cover, Alexander breaks it in time!

But Brody’s too much to lift! Brody wrenches out, takes a swing, but Alexander dodges. Brody SWATS a lariat, CHOPS and ROLLING ELBOWS, then he LARIATS point blank! Cover, TWO!!

Kyle is ready, but will he shoot down the Cowboy to get one more match with Ospreay? Or will the Buckshot be Hangman’s ace in the hole?

These two have been waiting for this one, as have we all! A former AEW TBS Champion and a former AEW Women’s World Champion are each one step away from the Owen Hart Cup, but only one of them can move on. Who gets to go Double or Nothing with The CEO, Mercedes Mone?

The bell rings and the fans fire up as the two circle. They tie up, go around, and then break. They circle more, tie up again, and Kris arm-drags Jamie. Jamie gets up in a huff, runs up, but Kris drops down. Kris gets up but Jamie runs her over! Kris is right back up, and runs up again. Jamie dodges, Kris dodges, and then Kris runs Jamie over! Jamie is already getting annoyed as she stands back up. The two stare down, then they both throw forearms! And the both BOOT! And then they both SHOULDER TACKLE! They both fall, and then they both kip up! The fans cheer as these two see they’re very much the other’s equal.

Kris and Jamie dust themselves off, then Kris goes to run, only for Jamie to reel her in by her tights! Jamie waistlocks and GERMAN SUPLEXES! Kris goes to a corner, Jamie runs up, METEORA! Jamie snapmares Kris, goes up the corner, then leaps to MISSILE DROPKICK! The fans fire up, Jamie hurries to cover, TWO! Kris stays in this and Jamie is rather amused. Jamie bumps Kris off buckles, stomps her, then whips. Kris reverses, wrenches, ROCKS, and then runs to go up the corner! Jamie catches Kris first! Kris uses that to wheelbarrow Jamie into buckles! Kris then runs corner to corner to UPPERCUT!

Kris runs side to side, but Jamie dumps her out! Kris ROCKS Jamie, drags her out to the apron, but Jamie ROCKS Kris! Kris ROCKS Jamie, then gets under the boot to TRIP Jamie!

The fans cheer on Jamie, but here comes The “C E O! C E O!” Mercedes Mone struts her way out, all her belts on her person. She points to the Owen Hart Cup trophy and smiles. Jamie says no no no, that’s gonna be hers. These two are just one month away from going Double or Nothing, who wins it all in Arizona?


My Thoughts:

A great Dynamite here, with strong build in all the stories that they’ve got going right now. Great opening segment with Schiavone bringing out Master P, Master P bringing out The Opps, and then all that causing The Death Riders to show up. Good brawl there, and that was fun having Master P laugh at Moxley being choked out. But then good move having The Elite show up, that works for the story of The Elite still trying to join forces with The Death Riders. But then Swerve and Omega showing up was also good. With the news that Moxley VS Joe is now for Beach Break, I am very certain we’re getting Stadium Stampede/Anarchy in the Arena for Double or Nothing. Seeing The Opps, Omega & Swerve together, that’s just a natural Team AEW for this time around.

Similarly, very good promo stuff with Schiavone inviting out FTR. I’m a little surprised Stokely Hathaway is back as FTR’s manager, but at least he’s getting to do something. Very good promo from FTR, Passive Aggressive Dax is pretty funny. And then FTR turning on Rock ‘n’ Roll Express, that was wild. The Paragon showing up was good stuff, and we’ll get a great match of FTR VS Roddy & Kyle. Also, I guess it really is official, Cole-Roddy-Kyle are The Paragon, and “The Kingdom” returns to just being Taven & Bennett. And while prerecorded so that they can play it between NBA games on Saturday, Playoff Palooza looks like a lot of fun.

Ricochet VS Mark Briscoe was a great match that wasn’t quite so outta-nowhere, given last week’s big money 8 Man Tag. Good win for Mark, but of course Ricochet attacked him. Kevin Knight making the save was good, and it helped give us the finish to Knight’s tag match against The Bucks. That tag match was bordering on PPV quality, but it makes sense Ricochet would cheat Knight as payback. Knight VS Ricochet definitely needs to happen next week before Knight has to go back to Japan for Best of the Super Juniors. And in the meantime, perhaps Ricochet and Bailey can feud as a holdover until Knight gets back in the Summer.

Great promo from MVP to put over the Gates of Agony, and great stuff with MJF and the Hurt Syndicate. I could just tell Lashley was gonna get the better of MJF with that car deal. This is definitely going to boil down to how Lashley might actually want a world title shot, making the whole thing of MJF joining a moot point. Great promo between MJF and Hangman, one of them will definitely cost the other something, and it is definitely more likely MJF costs Hangman against Kyle or Ospreay in the tournament. Another great tag match tonight with Ospreay & Brody VS Konosuke & Alexander.

The Don Callis Family of course cheated to get their win, and also great beatdown stuff after. Hangman wanting after Kyle was good stuff, and with the Don Callis Family standing tall, there’s a very big chance that it ends up Ospreay VS Hangman for Double or Nothing. For one, as I just said, MJF can cost Hangman. Also, we’ve gotten plenty of Ospreay VS Fletcher lately, we can give them time before they fight again. Great promo from Toni to issue an open challenge and have it immediately answered by Aminata. Maybe they’re doing this now that they went and changed the ROH PPV schedule, and that kinda screws up when and where Aminata VS Deeb was going to happen…

Then great main event of Kris VS Jamie. I am legit surprised it was Jamie winning to face Mone, I really thought Kris was going to make that push to the top. Mone VS Jamie will still be awesome, and it’d still be great to see Toni VS Jamie again after all this time, but it still feels like Toni VS Mone ends up the All In match, even though I still argue we should be getting Mone VS Athena so that Athena can be on the big PPV in her hometown. Though, I guess if Supercard of Honor is going to be in Texas, that’s supposed to make things up to The Fallen Goddess when she deserves the bigger stage.

My Score: 8.9/10

PLAY BY PLAY

Marina Shafir storms out here!

She throws some poor rando around on stage, and then kicks her off stage, to then storm into the ring. Marina intimidates Arkady Aura into giving up her mic, then here come the Death Riders! Claudio Castagnoli SHOVES a cameraman down, then SMASHES the camera! Then he CHOKE SLAMS the cameraman through a table! Wheeler Yuta beats up more equipment, the fans boo these sore losers, because clearly this is all in response to losing the AEW World Trios Championships just last night. Boston tells off Yuta but he just uses that as motivation. Jon Moxley is in the ring, waiting for all of this to calm down a bit.

Marina gives Moxley the mic, and Moxley tells the fans and everyone celebrating last night better enjoy it now. “Hobbs, Swerve, Shibata, enjoy it now! Because it’s the last chance you’re gonna have to celebrate for a long time!” The fans boo, but Moxley tells The Young Bucks he officially doesn’t like them, he doesn’t like looking at them, so they better stay in their own lane. They cross the line with Moxley, he swears to God that they are never seen or heard from again, and he means that! Fans are torn there, but Moxley says from the first day he started in this sport, there was one undisputed baddest man in pro-wrestling. That man is Samoa Joe.

The fans cheer for “JOE! JOE! JOE!” and Moxley says he has always shown Joe respect, treated him with reverence. The fans sing, “Joe is gonna kill~ you!” Yuta tells them to shut up! Moxley says he has given Joe that reverence, he has given Joe his space, and it could’ve stayed that way. But Joe started something that Moxley has to finish. Because Moxley doesn’t know any other way, he will not run, he will not hide, he will not roll over and die. he knows no other way to do this but to fight Joe to the death for the AEW World Championship! Tomorrow, now, for better or worse! Mox will be clear: He is challenging Joe!

The fans again chant for “JOE! JOE! JOE!” Moxley says that’s all he’s gotta say. Joe’s known Moxley long enough to know exactly what he’s dealing with. Moxley then storms off, leading the Death Riders away. Will Samoa Joe accept that challenge, and perhaps even go Double or Nothing?

 

Kevin Knight VS Lance Archer w/ Don Callis!

The Jet is feeling real good having his share of $400,000, and he’s preparing for next month’s NJPW Best of the Super Juniors tournament. But will Knight still be too fly? Or will he be sent crashing down by the Murderhawk Monster?

The moment Archer hits the ring, he hits Knight! Archer fires off in a corner, the bell rings, and the ref counts. The fans boo but archer only stops to throw his jacket at Knight! Then he THROWS Knight out of the ring! The fans tell Callis off like they did last night, but Archer SMACKS Knight off the LED walls! Archer says night-night, Knight! He CLUBS Knight down on the stage, then drags him up to TOSS him down the ramp! Knight flounders to the apron but Archer steps inside to stop the ring count. Archer goes out to drag Knight up, choke grips, and CHOKE- NO, Knight flips free! Knight blocks a boot, ROCKS Archer, then goes up the corner, BIG triangle jump DROPKICK!

The fans fire up as night goes to the apron, springboards, QUEBRADA! They fall on the ramp and the fans fire up! Knight storms after Archer as they go into the ring, then Knight climbs up. Knight leaps to SEATED- NO, Archer catches Knight! Knight fights and RANAS Archer into a corner! Knight stomps and UPPERCUTS on repeat! Knight then stomps a mudhole, but stops as the ref counts 4. The fans fire up with Knight, but Archer LARIATS Knight inside-out! The fans boo but Archer drags Knight back up. Short arm LARIAT! Callis applauds while Archer rains down forearms on Knight’s head.

The ref reprimands about pulling hair but Archer tells him to shut up! Archer stomps Knight, paces around him, then drags him up. Archer CLUBS Knight on the back, then stalks him to a corner. Archer CHOPS Knight but the fans rally, “Let’s Go, Kevin!” Archer whips, Knight sunset flips, but Archer stays up! But Knight avoids the punch! Knight runs to SLIDING SHOULDER TACKLE! Archer tumbles out of the ring, Knight runs, and he WRECKS Archer with a dropkick! Archer pinballs off the desk, then Knight goes up the corner. But Callis grabs at Knight’s foot! The fans boo, Callis gets away with that, but Archer drags Knight down!

Archer ROCKS Knight, then SWINGS him into the steel steps! Archer is all fired up, Callis is happy, but the fans boo while Collision goes picture in picture.

Archer drags Knight up, brings him around, and whips him hard into railing! Knight sputters, the fans cheer him on, but Archer brings Knight up. Archer ROCKS Knight, sits him in a chair, and then runs up to BOOT him down! Knight slumps against the barriers while Archer refreshes the count. But this just lets Callis get his shots in! Callis hammers Knight, but stops before he gets caught. Callis talks smack on the fans, especially that one guy in the third row. Archer stands Knight up against barriers, calls out a small child in their father’s arms, and then CHOPS Knight! Archer drags Knight along the way, taunts more fans, but Knight fires body shots!

Knight CHOPS Archer, but Archer isn’t even bothered! Archer whips Knight back into the ring, then storms in after him. Archer looms over Knight, stands on Knight’s hand, then steps off as the ref reprimands. Archer taunts Knight, stands him up, and pulls hair to put him in the corner. Archer climbs up, taunts the fans, and he smothers Knight! Archer rains down fists, but he stops short of ten to rob the fans the satisfaction! Spring Breakthru returns to single picture and Archer runs corner to corner. ELBOW! Archer keeps moving, and he ELBOWS Knight again! Archer wants more, so he runs again, to ELBOW Knight again!

The fans are torn as Archer has his hattrick, and he looms over Knight again. Archer taunts Knight, slaps him around, but Knight fires a body shot! Archer nods, eggs Knight on, and Knight fires more hands! The fans fire up, but Archer DECKS Knight! Archer drags Knight around, has a cocky cover, ONE!! Knight is tougher than that as a former IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion, and he flips Archer off! Archer grabs at him, Knight cradles, TWO!! Archer almost got caught, but he BOOTS Knight for that! And GERMAN SUPLEXES! Knight lands on his face and Archer grins. The fans rally for Knight but Archer puts him in a corner.

Archer hoists Knight up top, ROCKS him, then lifts Knight in the reverse crucifix! Knight flails, BLACKOUT- NO, Knight lands out! But Archer grabs him! CHOKE- DROPKICK! Knight turns things around, then fires hands! The fans rally as hard as they can for Knight as Knight fires shot after shot! Knight whips, Archer reverses, but knight slips to the outside! Archer hits buckles, Knight springboards in, but Archer gets clear. Knight comes back, but into a BOOT/STOMP! Archer drags Knight right up, then goes up the corner with him! The fans fire up already as Archer lifts Knight, but Knight fires elbows!

Knight fires body shots now, Archer pushes him back, but Knight returns, to the UPPER ROOM! Knight rolls and UFO SPLASHES! Cover, TWO! Archer is still in this, but Knight runs corner to corner, only for Archer to dodge! Arche comes back, DERAILER!! Archer hauls Knight up, BUCKLE BOMBS, and CHOKE SLAMS! Cover, TWO?!?! Knight survives and Callis is furious! Archer snarls but he drags Knight back to a corner. The fans rally as hard as they can for “KEVIN! KEVIN!” but Archer walks the tightrope! But Knight trips Archer up! Archer is stuck on the ropes, and Knight DROPKICKS him down!

The fans fire up as Knight springboards, FLYING FOREARM to the floor! The fans fire up and Knight puts Archer in! Knight springboards, but Archer catches him! Knight HOTSHOTS that arm, then springboards again, FLYING LARIAT!! Cover, Knight wins!!

Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall

The Jet flies high and takes the win! Will this literally big win help Knight take over the BOSJ?

 

The Opps speak.

After Dynamite went off the air, the NEW AEW World Trios Champions regrouped backstage. Samoa Joe said, “Do you understand the unusual thing about predators? Predators tend to think they are the largest and most evil thing in the jungle. They think that nothing pursues them because they are the pursuers. Tonight, the Death Riders learned that wasn’t the case. See, we are The Opps. We are not a movement, we are not an understanding between gentlemen, no. We are men who only need an opportunity and excuse to commit violence. We are men like Shibata. We are men like myself. And now, Death Riders, you learned we are men like Willy Hobbs.

“We are The Opps. We are your AEW Trios Champions. And we are coming for so much more.” The Death Riders were the hunters but are now the hunted, will their reign of terror end thanks to The Opps?

 

BREAKING NEWS for next week’s Collision!

While Collision will return to Saturday nights, it will also have to wait until after coverage of the NBA Playoffs. The silver lining? It’ll be live from coast to coast! Make sure you schedule accordingly so you don’t miss a minute of the Playoff Palooza!

 

Backstage interview with Jamie Hayter & Kris Statlander.

Renee Paquette is with these two ahead of their Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament match, set for next week on Dynamite. It is a semifinal match, and yet this is also the first time Kris and Jamie face off 1v1. The winner goes on to Double or Nothing to face Mercedes Mone in the tournament finals, but Kris stops Renee there. Enough about Mone. And enough about Toni Storm, honestly. There are plenty of other women in this locker room who work just as hard, if not harder, than those two. Jamie says she won’t disagree there. Jamie works hard, Kris works hard, and Jamie won’t stand here to give endless pats on the back.

But Jamie also knows Kris is good, being a former TBS Champion. And Kris knows Jamie is good, being a former AEW Women’s World Champion. They both know they can go, and this right here has been a long time coming. Whoever wins this, they better go all the way. See you Wednesday, mate. That match is for Dynamite, but will Kris get a leg up on Mone in the tag match later tonight?

 

Tony Schiavone reads a letter from FTR.

Given the suspension as announced last night, Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler are not allowed in the building, so they sent this message instead.

“Dear Tony & Nigel, I (Dax) wish I could take back everything we did to you guys last week. It was completely unacceptable, unnecessary, and unwarranted. I honestly think the punishment for us wasn’t severe enough.” Schiavone explains it is a suspension for a week, without pay. Dax’s letter continues to say, “Tony, I would never have gone through with the piledriver with you. You said some things about my daughter that I won’t hold against you. But in the heat of the moment, I felt I was justified to scare you a little. I love you, Tony.” Schiavone rolls his eyes, the fans boo because they don’t believe Dax’s words.

Schiavone explains this next part is addressed to Nigel. “I never wanted things to get physical between the three of us, I know your body, and your mind for that matter, is very fragile.” Nigel rolls his eyes at the passive aggressiveness there. “I’m sure you were thinking the same thing with emotions as we were. Even though you probably knew there was no way you could ever beat us up, LOL. Again, my sincerest apologies to you both, and I hope we can just move forward in a professional and productive manner. With love, Dax Harwood.” The fans still boo the ingenuine sentiments, and Nigel sarcastically accepts the apology. Will FTR ever actually learn their lesson?

 

Josh Alexander & Konosuke Takeshita VS Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii!

The Walking Weapon couldn’t defeat the Cowboy, so he goes and sucker punches him after the match, then seemingly joins forces with The Don Callis Family! Will Alexander get his first win alongside The Alpha? Or can Azucar & Stone Pitbull conglomerate their way to a victory?

The teams sort out and Ishii starts against Konosuke in a battle of Openweight Champions! The fans fire up as Ishii and Konosuke go toe to toe, then they start shoving! The forearms start flying, the fans fire up, and Ishii gets the edge! Ishii runs, but Konosuke BOOTS him! Konosuke whips, Ishii reverses, and then Ishii ducks the lariat to waistlock. Ishii ducks an elbow, but Konosuke ROCKS Ishii! Konosuke reels Ishii in, but Ishii suplexes first! Konosuke fights free, then runs up, and they RAM shoulders! The fans fire up and Ishii runs to RAM Konosuke again! Konosuke returns, runs through the chop and he CLOBBERS Ishii!

Ishii is up, he runs through a chop and then CLOBBERS Konosuke! Konosuke is back up, both men run in, and they RAM each other down! The fans fire up while Konosuke and Ishii back off. Tag to Rocky and Alexander and the fans rally again. The two circle, tie up, and Alexander waistlocks. Rocky switches, Alexander switches, and Alexander SLAMS Rocky down! Rocky brushes that off while the fans rally. The two circle, tie up, and Rocky wrenches. Alexander knees low, whips, but Rocky slides under! Rocky wheelbarrows and arm-drags! Alexander comes back, Rocky dodges and RANAS! The fans fire up while Rocky gives some Azucar Heat!

Rocky runs up, Alexander DUMPS him to the apron, but Rocky UPPERCUTS! Alexander distracts the ref so that Konosuke can YANK Rocky down! Konosuke DOUBLE CHOPS Rocky, then DRIVE-BY DROPKICKS! Rocky sputters while Collision goes picture in picture.

Alexander runs to BODY CHECK Rocky off the apron! The Don Callis Family soaks up the heat, then they fetch Rocky off the ground. Alexander puts Rocky on the apron, CLUBS him, then slides in. Alexander has the ref watch Ishii, and then he stomps Rocky around. Alexander scoops and SLAMS Rocky, then tags Konosuke. Konosuke goes up to SUPER SENTON! Cover, TWO! Rocky stays in this, but Konosuke stays on Rocky with a snapmare and KCIK! Konosuke tags Alexander and Alexander stalks Rocky. Alexander drags Rocky from the ropes to drop a knee! Cover, TWO! Alexander stalks Rocky to the ropes, then bumps him off buckles.

Alexander CHOPS Rocky, and Collision goes to break.

Collision returns and Konosuke has Rocky up top! Rocky fights the back suplex with fists, then he BITES Konosuke! The ref reprimands, but Rocky cravats to hit a SUPER SLICED BREAD! The fans fire up while both men crawl, hot tags to Alexander and Ishii! The fans fire up as these two RAM, and RAM, and then Ishii ROCKS Alexander! Ishii whips, Alexander reverses, but Ishii comes back to CLOBBER Alexander! And SAIDO! Cover, TWO! Alexander survives but Ishii runs, only for Konosuke to get a cheap shot in! Ishii DECKS Konosuke for it! Alexander waistlocks, Ishii fights and switches, but Konosuke runs in!

Alexander ducks, Konosuke BOOTS Ishii! Konosuke runs, he and Ishii DOUBLE LARIAT! Konosuke rebounds to LARIT Ishii down! Rocky runs up, wrenches Konosuke, and kicks off Alexander to TORNADO DDT! Ishii LARIATS Konosuke back down, but Alexander kicks! Ishii blocks, feed to Rocky for a kick and UPPERCUT! Then Ishii hits a GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans fire up more as Ishii runs, and he LARIATS Alexander down! Cover, Rocky blocks Konosuke, but Konosuke SHOVES Rocky onto Ishii! The match is saved but the ref reprimands everyone for being in the ring. Ishii and Rocky argue, but Konosuke has Rocky!

Rocky DUMPS Konosuke out, then PLANCHAS! Ishii LARIATS Alexander, suplexes, but Alexander fights it! Alexander wrenches, Ishii wrenches back, but Alexander gets around to GERMAN SUPLEX!

Rocky goes back to help Ishii, but Ishii shoves Rocky! Ishii asks what the heck, but wait! Is that TRENT BERETTA!? Rocky CLOBBERS Ishii, and Trent takes off the jacket! Trent rains down fists on Ishii now, and the Callis Family returns?! Trent was Don Callis Family the last time we saw him, and it seems he still IS Don Callis Family! Callis explains to Konosuke that it’s fine, and he gives Trent the monkey wrench! The very thing that took Trent out almost a year ago!

Rocky stands Ishii up, and says goodbye. Trent CLOBBERS Ishii with the monkey wrench!!! Trent & Rocky are in the Family, will AEW soon belong to them?

 

Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.

Lexy Nair welcomes in #FourBeltsMone, and Mone again says, “Bostooon~! Say hello to your C E O!” Lexy congratulates Mone on defeating Athena last night and advancing to the Women’s Owen Hart Cup finals at Double or Nothing. She will either face Kris or Jamie, and Kris is someone Mone has had a lot of history with. Mone stops Lexy there and says that history is where Mone won them all. Tonight, she is in the main event in another tag match alongside Harley Cameron. Mone already groans as Harley brings out “Mini Mone!” “Bostooooon~! Say hello to your C E O~!” Mone says she already did that.

Mini Mone knows Main Mone doesn’t wanna talk to Harley right now, but she has assured Mini Mone that things will be different this time. They better be! Now now, talk to Mini Mone. She’s not gonna do that! Harley, just stay out of the way and not be such a loser! Harley pouts but Mone says there’s no reason to be sad. Mini Mone says yeah, there’s no crying in wrestling! Damn right! Wait, wait, why is she talking like the puppet’s real!? Harley starts singing “Ride the Money Wrath Train~!” Mone says no no no! Mone storms off, but the train is on the tracks either way. Mini Mone says, “See you tonight!” Will The CEO and the wild Aussie stay on track as we head for Double or Nothing?

Vox & Scott tried, but they could not stop this female titan! Megan then sits them both up and tells them, “BOW DOWN!” Megan SMACKS them off the mat! The Superbad Girl raises Megan’s hand in victory, will nothing stop Megan from storming back up the mountain?

 

Anthony Bowens speaks.

“Throughout my life, I’ve been told ‘no’ so many times. But if I wanted it bad enough, I always found a way. And here in AEW, I won’t take ‘no’ for an answer. My name is Anthony Bowens. I am AEW’s 5 Tool Player. The perfect combination of power, athleticism, intelligence, the look, and The It Factor. I am the Pride of Professional Wrestling, led by a badass. I intend to use every tool necessary to climb to the top of AEW. And oh, yeah, I intend to win gold. Let’s make history. So the question is, who’s next to step to the plate and get their ass Molly Whopped by THE Five Tool Player?! That journey starts now. Don’t believe me? Well I’ve got five tools and one rule: Prove them wrong!”

 

AEW TNT Championship Open Challenge: Adam Cole VS ???

The Panama City Playboy is in Boston, ready to make this City of Champions undisputed! But who will step to this paragon of wrestling? CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI! The Death Riders never left the building, they were just lurking from the shadows! But will the Swiss Cyborg snatch away this title to make up for the one he lost?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who brings the boom!

The bell rings and the two tie up. Claudio powers Cole right to a corner, lets off as the ref counts, but then Cole avoids the sucker punch! Cole fires fast hands, the fans fire up, but the ref counts. Claudio scoops Cole first to SLAM him down! Claudio looms over Cole, drags him up, and he whips Cole, only for Cole to reverse. But Claudio bounces off buckles to BOOT Cole down! The fans boo but Claudio stalks Cole. Claudio drags Cole up, scoops again, but Cole fights around to a SLEEPER!

Claudio drags Cole out, Cole fires forearms, but Claudio knees low! Claudio whips Cole hard into barriers!

Claudio winds up, runs up, but Cole dodges! Now Claudio hits the barriers! Cole fires forearms, stalks Claudio around the way, and he fires forearms again. Claudio YANKS Cole into the barriers! The ring count climbs, Claudio hauls Cole up, BARRIER BACK SUPLEX! Cole flops to the floor and the fans lose their minds! Claudio refreshes the ring count, but he does wait on Cole. Cole slowly crawls, so Claudio goes out to fetch him. Claudio UPPERCUTS Cole, Cole staggers around, and Claudio military presses him! Claudio TOSSES Cole out into the crowd! The fans go nuts again, and they cheer on “A E DUB! A E DUB!” for making this possible.

Claudio storms into the ring, soaks up the heat, and the ref checks Cole. That was a rough landing on that hardwood floor, but it seems Cole is okay to continue. The fans rally for Cole as he hobbles his way back to ringside. Cole rolls in, but Claudio runs up to LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Cole stays in this but Claudio clamps onto him with a chinlock. Cole endures, the fans rally, but Claudio squeezes tight. Cole fights around, fights to his feet, and the fans fire up as Cole fires body shots. But Claudio knees low, then TOSSES Cole back out! Cole flops to the floor, the fans boo more, but Claudio just soaks it all up as Collision goes picture in picture.

Cole gets checked by Doc Sampson, given that big bruise right on his side. The ring count climbs all the while, and Claudio paces as he waits on a verdict from Doc. Cole seems to be okay to continue, and he crawls his way over. Cole grabs at the apron skirt, drags himself up, and springs in at 9! Claudio is right on him and rains down fists! Claudio is all fired up, and also sports a cut on his arm from hitting these barriers. Claudio scoops to hit a BACKBREAKER, and then he bends Cole against his knee! Cole endures, throws hands from below, but Claudio shoves him down! Cole avoids the elbow drop! Claudio snarls, but Cole fires a forearm!

Claudio UPPERCUTS, Cole fires another forearm, repeat! Claudio looms over Cole but Cole still comes back with a forearm! The shots go back and forth, but then Claudio smothers Cole with a chinlock! Cole endures and fights back up, but Claudio pushes him down to the mat! Claudio leans on the hold as he grinds Cole down. Cole fights up again, fires body shots, and Spring Breakthru returns to single picture. Claudio ROCKS Cole, runs, but Cole ROCKS Claudio! Claudio UPPERCUTS into a backslide! TWO, and Cole fireman’s carries, but Claudio fights free! Claudio whips, UPPERCUTS, then whips corner to corner.

Claudio runs in and UPPERCUTS! Then he whips corner to corner again, for another UPPERCUT! Claudio tries again, but Cole SUPERKICKS him down! The fans fire up while a standing count begins again! Cole is in a corner, but Claudio rises up to get him. Cole JAWBREAKERS, then ELBOWS, then BOOTS! Claudio still comes back, Cole gets around, BACKSTABBER! Cover, TWO! Cole is frustrated and sore, but he still stands up. The fans fire up as Cole is in the corner, and he climbs up the ropes! Cole aims, Claudio stands, PANAMA- BACKDROP!

Cover, TWO! Claudio stays in this and Cole is frustrated, but the fans rally up behind Cole. Cole goes back to the corner, hops up again, and Claudio’s up. PANAMA SUN- NO, Claudio trips and SWINGS Cole! The fans are torn as Cole goes around and around! TEN and Claudio THROWS Cole! Cover, TWO!! But into a CROSSFACE! Claudio pulls back on Cole but Cole endures! The fans rally as Cole reaches out. Cole rolls to a cover, TWO!

Claudio THROWS Cole to a corner! Claudio runs, UPPERCUTS, and then runs again! But Cole DUMPS Claudio out! Claudio HOTSHOTS Cole, hurries up the corner, then leaps, into a SUPERKICK! Cole covers, TWO!! Claudio is still in this, but both men are running on fumes. Cole rises up, brings down the kneepad, and says it’s time. But Claudio stops Cole to waistlock, only for Cole to PELE! Cole runs, into a POP-UP UPPERCUT! Cover, TWO!! Cole survives and Claudio is in disbelief! Cole goes to a corner as Claudio snarls and rises up. Claudio runs up, UPPERCUTS, and UPPERCUTS, and UPPERCUTS!

The ref backs Claudio off, the fans boo, but Claudio just seethes. Cole drags himself up with the ropes, Claudio runs back in, UPPERCUT! UPPERCUT! UPPERCUT! Claudio just UPPERCUTS and ELBOWS away! The ref backs Claudio off, warns him to listen to authority, but Claudio goes back in for more UPPERCUTS! The fans rally for Cole as he takes these shots, but then Claudio hoists him up top! Claudio climbs, goes to the very top, SUPER DUPER PLEX!! Cover, ONE, and into a ghost pin! COLE WINS!!!

Winner: Adam Cole, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)

Claudio is in shock! But perhaps his anger got the better of him as he could’ve done things different. But the rest of the Undisputed Kingdom/Paragon is here to celebrate with their guy! Will Cole, Roddy & Kyle all be rolling on the road to Double or Nothing? Wait, now Claudio FLIPS the desk over in his anger! And then he stands it up on it’s side to tip it the other way! And another way! Yuta and Moxley hurry out here to try and calm Claudio down, and the fans taunt Claudio, “That’s expensive! That’s expensive!” They even chant “LOSERS! LOSERS!” The Death Riders storm off, what will satiate their anger?

 

Backstage interview with “Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith.

Lexy Nair is with the former Learning Tree Branches, The Redwood & The Bad Apple. She brings up how last week, Chris Jericho said he wasn’t angry, he was just disappointed, and then he left them to themselves. Where do they go from here? Bill says Jericho was disappointed in them, but Bill is disappointed in Jericho. Jericho is supposed to be the leader, and yet he walks out on them? Quite honestly, Bill is getting… angry. Keith wants Bill to chill. Not right now. What? What’s the difference? They talked about this in private, what’s the difference with it being now? Keith says it is like Bill just said: It was in private.

Keith knows Jericho said they were family, and that means something to Keith. And he just feels that if they’re family, they should handle this like family, and that is internally. And maybe, if Bill didn’t put Jericho on blast last week, Jericho wouldn’t have left. Bill understands, family is very important. That is why Keith wants to get back in the good graces of Jericho. Bill gets that. He just isn’t sure they should be living and dying at the whims of Jericho. Either way, the strategy moving forward is the same: They need to get in the ring, crack some skulls, and stack some wins. Lexy, to answer the question of what’s next, that is next.

Bill heads out, Keith follows, but will they do better or worse without The Nueve?

 

Six Man Tag: La Faccion Ingobernable VS Rosario Grillo, Leon St. Giovanni & KM!

Finally, El Toro Blanco has returned! Rush leads Dralistico y The Beast Mortos into action again, will LFI finally stampede through AEW?

Rush stomps KM, Dralistico stomps Grillo, and Mortos is back in the ring. The fans fire up with Mortos, and Dralistico sends Grillo into more railing! Rush regroups with his hermanos, both literal and in arms. Dralistico CHOPS LSG, Mortos SPLASHES, and then Mortos whips LSG corner to corner for another SPLASH! Mortos whips LSG to ropes now, for a POP-UP SAMOAN DROP! Tag to Dralistico and he springboards in, FLYING CODE BREAKER!

LSG flounders around and the fans fire up. KM tags in, but Dralistico SOBATS, KICKS, and ENZIGIRIS! The fans fire up as Dralistico tags in Rush! The fans fire up and Rush SUPERMAN PUNCHES KM! Then he DECKS LSG, HEADBUTTS Grillo, and he lets Dralistico FLY! Down go LSG and Grillo! Rush then says, “You mess with the bull…” YOU GET THE BULL’S HORNS!! KM takes those right in the face! Cover, LFI wins!

Winners: La Faccion Ingobernable, by pinfall

LFI makes quick work, and Rush says LFG! Will these three be like bulls in a China shop when it comes to the AEW Trios Division?

 

Backstage interview with Kevin Knight.

Renee catches up to The Jet as he and “Speedball” Mike Bailey say hey. A big congratulations for Knight in winning against Archer. Renee is pretty sure that match came about because Callis didn’t like the rejection he got in trying to recruit Knight and Speedball. Knight says pretty much, but that’s understandable. He doesn’t think the Don- Ricochet steps in, backwards hat and military coat not really going together, but he tells Knight to shut it. Ricochet says these goofs are not the story of the week. The story is how they screwed Ricochet last week and stole that prize money!

Speedball says if by “screwed,” Ricochet means Speedball’s team beat him fair and square to win 400 stacks, then yeah, he got screwed. Ricochet says first, you pinned Mortos, not Ricochet. And seeing as how they’re the new guys here, here’s some “veteran advice.” Don’t upset the top talent in AEW. You don’t disrupt the chain of command. And since Knight and Speedball are so low, at the bottom of the pole, take his advance before something bad happens. Knight says Ricochet has it all twisted, they respect him. Knight and Speedball respect the game, the in-ring talent, the hot wife, all of that.

But anything that Ricochet can do, the Jet can, too. In fact, here’s something he can do that Ricochet can’t. And then he shakes them dreads! Ricochet says here’s what he can do: he can smack Knight in his mouth! Then do it then! Maybe he will, if Knight keeps talking! Knight fakes a slap and makes Ricochet flinch! Ricochet says okay, he wants trouble now. Yeah, Knight needs that. Speedball says okay, just not tonight. Speedball and Knight head out, Renee tosses her hair and leaves. But will the One & Only find he’s the only one with a problem?

 

ROH World TV Championship: Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes VS Nick Wayne!

If Christian Cage is to be believed, this match has come about all thanks to him pulling the strings. But at the same time, he told his “son” that he’d have to win this one on his own. Will The Prodigy make The Patriarch of the Patriarchy proud? Or will the Commander of the Skies ruin Christian’s “gift?”

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who’s the real star of ROH TV!

The Code of Honor is not upheld as Nick SPITS at Komander! The bell rings, the fans boo, and Komander DORPKCIKS Nick! Komander fires off hands in the corner, Nick scurries away but Komander keeps on him! Komander CHOPS, Nick kicks low, and then Nick ROCKS Komander. Nick storms up, but Komander kicks, mule kicks, front kicks, and CHOPS! The fans fire up, Komander whips, but Nick reverses. Komander rolls off Nick’s back, then blocks the chop to knuckle lock and CHOP! Komander goes up, up, jumps around, and then FLYING RANAS! The fans fire up again while Nick flounders away.

Komander runs in, Nick TOSSES him to the ramp! Nick comes back, but Komander GAMANGIRIS him down! Komander goes up with Nick in the drop zone! But Nick hurries away, no Cielito. Komander still tightrope walks to ARABIAN PRESS, only for Nick to put him on the apron! Komander RAMS into Nick, springboards, and CROSSBODIES! Then DROPKICKS! The fans fire up while Nick bails out to the ramp. Komander aims, springboards, but Nick dodges! Komander comes back, Nick puts him in the ring, then he ducks a haymaker to HOTSHOT! Komander falls and the fans boo, but Nick checks his teeth.

We see Christian Cage, Kip Sabian & Mother Shayna are watching this backstage as Nick hurries back in the ring. Nick stomps Komander, RAMS him into a corner, then puts him up top. Komander wobbles, Nick winds up to CHOP, then Nick climbs. Komander fires hands and Nick backs off. Komander hops down, springboards, but Nick SHOVES him down! Komander crashes to the floor and Collision goes picture in picture.

Abrahantes coaches Komander, and Nick goes outside to taunt the fans. Nick then fetches Komander to THROW him into railing! Komander writhes, Nick soaks up heat much like he did during Prelude to Spring Breakthru. Nick fetches Komander again, puts him in the ring, and taunts the fans before stepping inside. Cover, TWO! Nick is annoyed but he looms over Komander. Nick drags Komander up, throws him into the ropes, then CHOKES him! The ref counts, Nick steps off and he taunts the fans before he CHOKES Komander again! The ref counts again, Nick steps off, and Komander sputters while Nick swaggers around.

Nick drags Komander up, brings him around, and snapmares for a leg drop! Cover, TWO! Komander stays in this and Nick grows frustrated. Nick tells the fans to shut up, but Collision goes to break.

Collision returns and Nick again has Komander on the ropes, literally. Nick whips Komander then KNEES him against the ropes! Nick soaks up the heat, whips Komander again, but Komander springboards to go up and FLYING ARM-DRAG! Then he reels Nick into a EURO CLUTCH! TWO!! Nick escapes in time, but Komander CHOPS! And CHOPS! Nick kicks low, runs, but Komander scoops to BACKBREAKER! The fans fire up while both men are down! Abrahantes and Boston rally for “KO-MAN-DER!” Nick goes to a corner, Komander runs up, but Nick dodges! Nick runs in, but Komander puts him up top, ROCKS and CHOPS him, then triangle jump ENZIGIRIS!

Nick flops to the ramp and the fans fire up! Komander builds speed, and he FLIES to SWANTON Nick on the ramp! A rough landing no matter what, but Komander still kicks Nick in the ring. Komander aims from the corner, tunes up the band and the fans join in. Komander runs, goes up, up, and MOONSAULTS! Cover, TWO! Nick survives but the fans taunt him with “Whose Mom?” “NICK’S MOM!” Komander drags Nick up, torture racks, but Nick fires hands! Nick is free, he goes to a corner, but Komander runs up. Nick goes up and over, victory rolls, TWO! Komander runs back in, but Nick sends him hard into buckles!

The fans boo while Nick takes aim. Nick kicks but Komander ducks it! Komander RAMS Nick into the corner, then hops up, POISON-RANA! Cover, TWO! Nick survives and both men are down while the fans fire back up. Komander goes back to the corner, aims and springboards, but Nick slips around! DRAGON SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!! Nick is stunned, but he takes aim again! Komander rises, into Nick’s ROUNDHOUSE! Then up, up, WAYNE- TIGER FEINT sweeps the legs! And then a FLYING DESTROYER!! Nick tumbles out of the ring, staggers around, and the fans are thunderous as Komander builds speed!

Komander goes up, up, and ARIHARA MOONSAULTS!! Direct hit on Nick and Boston is erupting! Komander puts Nick in, “This is Awesome!” as Komander climbs again. Nick is in the drop zone, for CIELITO LINDO onto BOOTS!! Nick turns things around, then takes aim, ROUNDHOUSE! Nick roars, reels Komander in to pump handle and PRODIGY PLEX!! Cover, NICK WINS!!!

Winner: Nick Wayne, by pinfall (NEW ROH World Television Champion)

Boston doesn’t like it, but Nick Wayne just became the youngest singles champion in ROH! The Patriarchy is certainly proud, but then Christian Cage leaves Shayna and Kip to go off somewhere. Will he prepare some other gift for his Prodigy as celebration?

 

Hologram is loading.

And Hologram will return to action next week for Playoff Palooza! Will the incredible win streak continue?

 

Top Flight speaks.

Dante Martin calls out Action Andretti & Lio Rush to say, “Guess what? We just came from Tony Khan’s office, and there’s no more running, there’s no more hiding, no more ducking, because we have a match next week.” Darius says it isn’t just any match. This has been going on for far too long, so they’re over the wrestling part of this. They want to fight The Cru! Forget the rules, forget the tags, it is a TORNADO TAG MATCH! Leila Grey tells Action & Lio that they’ll see ’em next week for Collision: Playoff Palooza. That is, if The Cru has the balls to show up. Well hold on, The Cru shows up now!

Lio & Action tell Top Flight that they don’t have to wait! Security steps in and keeps this from getting out of hand, but what will happen when there’s nothing holding these teams back?

 

BREAKING NEWS for a future Dynamite!

Toni Storm is here!

The Timeless AEW Women’s World Champion was present last night to watch from afar, but now she wants to get a closer look at tonight’s main event!

Mercedes Mone & Harley Cameron VS Kris Statlander & Julia Hart!

The CEO is reluctant to step back into the ring alongside the wild Aussie, but Harley’s probably the only person who would team with her at this point. Can Harley help Mone keep the Money (Wrath) Train on track? Or will the #BornAgainKristen and the Princess of the Black Throne make a winning combination?

The teams sort out and Mone starts against Kris for both a revival of their rivalry, and also a teaser of what could be for the Owen Hart Cup finals. The two tie up, and Kris SHOVES Mone down! The fans cheer as Kris flexes, but Mone tags Harley. Harley and Kris tie up, and Kris SHOVES Harley away! Harley tags Mone back in, and then picks up Mini Mone! Wait, wait, Harley tags in Mini Mone? Is this a substitution or a 3v2 Handicap now? Harley THROWS Mini Mone at Kris, which Kris easily catches. Kris passes Mini Mone to Julia, how just puts Mini Mone down to step on! Harley tries to roll Kris up but Kris stays up.

Kris drags Harley to her feet, then slips around to roll Harley up! Harley rolls through, Oklahoma Rolls back, TWO! Kris runs up, Harley headlocks, but Kris powers up and out.

Kris drags Mone up, tags Julia, and they mug Mone. Julia ROCKS Mone, whips her to a corner, but Mone reverses. Mone runs up, blocks boots and ROCKS Julia! Julia is in the ropes and Mone hits the STOCK DROP! Mone huffs ‘n’ puffs before she drags Julia to a cover, TWO! Mone is annoyed but she drags Julia up again. Mone snapmares Julia, runs, and METEORAS! Cover, TWO! Julia stays in this but Mone taunts Kris. Mone dares Julia to crawl to Kris, but then she bumps Julia off buckles.

Mone tags Harley and they mug Julia. Harley brings Julia around, whips her to ropes, and ELBOWS her down! Cover, TWO! Harley stays between Julia and Kris, then brings her around. Julia JAWBREAKERS free, then CLUBS Harley. Julia CHOPS Harley at the ropes, CHOPS her again, then fires forearms. The ref counts, Julia backs off, but then Julia whips Harley to ropes. Harley ducks ‘n ‘dodges, and DOUBLE LARIATS take them both down! The fans rally while Julia and Harley crawl, and Spring Breakthru returns to single picture as they hot tag Mone and Kris! The fans fire up as Mone CHOPS, knuckle locks and goes up, up, and FLYING ARM-DRAGS!

Mone does her dance, then runs corner to corner, DOUBLE KNEES! Mone reels Kris in, the fans rally, and Mone snap suplexes! That’s Una Amiga, and then Mone gets Kris up for Dos Amigas! then THREE AMIGAS! But Kris stops it before quatro! Harley makes the save, and she helps Mone, only for Kris to DOUBLE SUPLEX!

The fans are thunderous, we see Jamie Hayter watching backstage and applauding, and Kris puts Mone & Harley in the drop zone! Kris goes up, but Harley rolls with Mone to avoid the 450 Splash!

The fans fire up as Kris tags Julia while Mone and Harley seem to have a tender moment of friendship. Julia ruins the moment with a STANDING MOONSUALT!

But Harley rolls Kris up! TWO!! Mone is stuck as Kris scoops Harley and hits a BACKBREAKER! Then Kris cording holds Harley’s arm, kisses the bicep, and hits the Hayterade?! Cover, Kris & Julia win!

Winner: Kris Statlander & Julia Hart, by pinfall

That wasn’t just the game winner Kris hit on Harley, it was a message sent to Jamie! Luther helps Toni Storm to the ring so she can applaud Kris, and even blow a kiss! Will Kris go Double or Nothing with Mone to then go All In with Toni? Or will Kris feel a Hayterade from the source?


My Thoughts:

A great Collision to not just wrap Spring Breakthru but to keep things going immediately from last night. Very good promo from The Opps after their win, and some great stuff with The Death Riders for once. The Death Riders throwing a fit was good stuff, and Moxley had a good promo to call out Samoa Joe. Moxley wants his match with Samoa Joe, that’s a great detail in itself, and that is going to be a great match for Double or Nothing. Claudio stepping up to Adam Cole’s Open Challenge was also cool, and that was a great match. Cole surviving was a good touch, especially with how it just pissed Claudio off more.

Very good promo from Bill & Keith, and it feels very obvious that Keith will betray Bill to side with Jericho. We will get Bill VS Jericho, Keith will screw Bill, but then something will happen where Bill gets his rematch and wins over Jericho in the end. Really good “letter” from FTR to keep up their passive aggressive nature, and you can bet they’ll just do all the same things again next week when they’re back. Great to see LFI back in full force, but let’s just hope they actually get going this time around. There could even be some interesting intertwining of stories if LFI challenge for the trios titles at Double or Nothing, putting Joe in a double header situation since he’ll face Moxley for the world title.

Good promo from Top Flight with Cru to hype up next week’s Collision. But does every post-basketball Collision need a nickname? And as nicknames go, “Playoff Palooza” sounds more like a promotional deal run at a supermarket or car dealership. Really good stuff from the Don Callis Family tonight. Great match from Knight VS Archer and a great win for Knight. Knight and Speedball have a good promo with Ricochet, and a match of Knight VS Ricochet would be awesome, I hope we see it before Knight’s off for Best of the Super Juniors.

Great tag match of Alexander & Takeshita VS Ishii & Rocky, and I should’ve realized watching ROH Prelude to Spring Breakthru was teasing something for tonight. Rocky was salty over that loss there, and then he got even saltier during this match. Great to see Trent back, and now Roppongi Vice is Don Callis Family! They can be the tag team of the faction while Konosuke, Kyle Fletcher and now Josh Alexander all go for singles titles. Awesome ROH World Television Championship match from Komander and Nick Wayne, and again to my surprise, the Prelude foreshadowed stuff. Nick brought momentum into this match, he won this title, and unless he loses it back to Komander at like Supercard of Honor, he probably will bring the title to NJPW BOSJ.

Another great handicap match win for Megan Bayne, but she’ll still be spinning her wheels until after Double or Nothing with all this other stuff going on. Great promo from Mone, Harley & Mini Mone before their main event tag match, and same for Kris having a good promo with Jamie Hayter. That was of course a great match, and Kris winning using Jamie’s finisher was wild. I feel like with Toni Storm paying more attention to Kris, that’s a sign Kris is beating Jamie to face Mone at Double or Nothing. It’s still anyone’s guess who wins the Cup, because Toni VS Kris and Toni VS Mone are both great matches.

My Score: 8.9/10
