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?

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!
Storm brings Shida to another corner, Shida blocks the bump to bump Storm off buckles! And then snap suplex into buckles! Shida hauls Storm up to snap suplex again!

Storm sunset flips, but Shida sits down for a stack! SHIDA WINS!!!!
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

Leila says this is a huge night indeed, but she has been waiting and preparing for this moment. She spent the last three months training at the NJPW LA Dojo to hone her skills and becoming the best version of herself. She gave it her all there, and she’ll give it her all here. No more sitting on the sidelines. So to Toni, respectfully, Leila beats her into oblivion. It’s Leila’s time now! Get it? Got it? Good! Will Leila weather the storm to come out a contender?

Leila fights up, powers up but can’t power out as Toni holds tight. Leila fights up to her feet, throws body shots, and then powers out.

The “rookie” snatches that win from Leila and is on quite the run since her “debut!” With the AEW Women’s World Championship and AEW TBS Championship both on the line tonight, will Toni look to take on the champs on the other side?
Backstage interview with QT Marshall.
Lexy Nair is now with “Big Doom QT” and says he steps in the ring with Double J. What is his mindset tonight? Oh, his mindset? C’mon, Jeff Jarrett is a living legend, Hall of Famer, maybe even the greatest of all time, and can still do it at a high level. But he is NOT an innovator! He is NOT someone revolutionizing this industry like QT. After Full Gear, QT selling out the building with his match against Big Boom AJ, his life has changed. QT might have to change his home address with all the fans just trying to catch a glimpse of his life. He knows Lexy has been politicking for this interview, and that’s fine, because she is no different than Jarrett.
Jarrett wants to stay relevant in pro-wrestling, so he had to stick his nose in QT’s business at ROH Final Battle by hitting Aaron Solo in the head with that guitar. Solo may never look the same! But hey, Jarrett wants to be on the QT Bandwagon. It must be so hard waking up, looking in the mirror, and he can’t imagine how his best years are behind him. But QT is a compassionate man. When he beats Jarrett, the dream still comes true as Jarrett will still be relevant. Lexy is at a loss for words and QT says she shouldn’t be so upset. Think about it! What’s worse than losing in the ring? Being forgotten.
But when you get in the ring with QT, that’ll never happen. It’ll be viral and last forever! Here, let’s take a selfie. This one’s on him. Cheese! You’re welcome. QT leaves, but will that big mouth of his be able to eat all that crow?
Zero Hour – Jeff Jarrett VS QT Marshall!
The bell rings and the fans fire up for Double J! But then QT poses and just gets boos. The fans even chant, “QT SUCKS! QT SUCKS!” QT says okay, be that way! He and Jarrett tie up, and QT arm-drags. QT mocks the strut, then does his own little flexing dance. The fans still boo while QT and Jarrett reset. Jarrett and QT feel things out, tie up, and QT headlocks. QT spins, hammerlocks, headlocks, then drop toeholds. QT slaps Jarrett around but Jarrett gets up in a huff. QT lounges on the ropes, the fans boo more, and Jarrett is annoyed. Jarrett and QT circle, tie up, but then QT kicks low! And ROCKS Jarrett with a right!
QT brings Jarrett around to ROCK him, then tells the ref to back off. QT whips, Jarrett reverses and hip tosses! Then hip tosses again! The fans cheer as Jarrett shows QT how it’s done! QT runs up but Jarrett ROCKS him, TOSSES him, but QT holds on! QT skins the cat while Jarrett struts! Jarrett dodges and LARIATS QT up and out! The fans fire up as we get a proper Fargo Strut! QT huffs ‘n’ puffs and storms up to the apron. The fans chant “You Still Got It!” for Jarrett. Jarrett has QT hold on and watch him do the flex dance! Jarrett then catches QT to a SLEEPER! But QT runs in and HOTSHOTS Jarrett off buckles!
QT goes up and he FLYING UPPERCUTS Jarrett down! The fans boo, QT stomps Jarrett around, then rains down fists. QT stomps Jarrett, fans chant “You Still Suck!” Cover, TWO! QT is annoyed but he winds up to ROCK Jarrett with a right hand! The ref reprimands about closed fists but QT just DECKS Jarrett! The fans boo but QT soaks it up. QT drags Jarrett up, but Jarrett counter punches to fire hands! Jarrett ROCKS QT, whips him, but QT handsprings! NEURALIZER KICK! QT grins and applauds for himself while the fans boo. QT pushes Jarrett to a cover, TWO! QT argues with the ref but the ref defends the count.
QT drags Jarrett around, has a neck wrench, but the fans rally up. QT pushes on the hold while admiring himself on the tron. Jarrett fights as the fans rally, and Jarrett stands to fire body shots! Jarrett whips, QT reverses and catches Jarrett to a SLEEPER! Jarrett runs around and around but QT holds on! Jarrett slips around to hit a BIG back suplex! Both men are down and the fans fire up! A standing count applauds, and QT goes to ropes. QT stands and he storms back up, but Jarrett counter punches! And again! And again! The fans fire up, Jarrett whips, but QT reverses! Jarrett still LARIATS! And LARIATS! And BACKDROPS!
QT goes to a corner but Jarrett climbs up on him! This is for Schiavone! Jarrett rains down fists on QT! The fans count and Double J goes to TEN! QT sputters, Jarrett waits on him, but QT blocks a kick! Jarrett ENZIGIRIS! Cover, TWO! QT stays in this and Jarrett grows frustrated. Jarrett drags QT up but QT throat chops! QT trips Jarrett, and he calls his shot! The fans boo as QT steps through, but Jarrett kicks him to the apron! Jarrett runs up but QT ELBOWS him! QT climbs a corner, but Jarrett grabs him! ROCKET LAUNCHER! Not long distance but it was a hard landing! And now Jarrett has the legs! SHARPSHOOTER!

Backstage interview with Triple J.
Lexy is with Jarrett, Lethal, Sonjay & Satnam, and she congratulates them. Lethal says he could not be more proud of his friend, Jarrett! Get Karen on the phone! But then Jarrett tells Sonjay something, and Sonjay is rather confused and upset by it. Jarrett says it doesn’t matter, it isn’t Sonjay’s decision. Lethal asks what’s going on and Jarrett says that for the last 30+ years, the week between Christmas and New Years, he would reflect on his career and look ahead to the future. That’s no different here and now. Jarrett says Wednesday, Asheville, Fight for the Fallen, the mother of all simulcasts, Jarrett has an announcement about his career!
Jarrett heads out, leaving Satnam and Lethal just as confused. What could the Last Outlaw be thinking for 2025? Will at least be good news?
Where will you be then the world ends?
Welcome to the Jungle by Guns ‘n’ Roses plays, and the lyrics are most fitting: You can have anything you want, but be careful who you take it from. There are dangerous men and women on both sides of these championships, and even one diamond ring. But in this wrestling ring, everyone thinks they’re the hero of their own story, born to slay the villain. But hero, villain, somewhere in between, it really only matters if you’re the one standing tall at the end. “You know where you are? You’re in the jungle, baby! You’re gonna diiiie~!” So again, where will you be when the world ends? Time to find out.

Has Ospreay ever been in a situation like this before? Well, he doesn’t look to bad right now, does he? Is there something on his face? But in all seriousness, Ospreay thought to himself, “It don’t matter!” There’s a lot of wrestling tonight, everyone will be exhausted, but by the time Ospreay goes back out there, well, he has faced Okada about 10 times, but lost 8. So there is one thing Ospreay needs from Orlando: carry him through this!
That’s right, promise Ospreay you’ll get up off your asses and tell him that he can do this! Ospreay will fight every single inch, because he lives for this s*it! Okay, he’s a little lightheaded. He feels like he got run over by a truck. But hey, this is his former mentor, his “big brother,” so after Ospreay beats Okada, Ospreay is going to freakin’ DISNEYWORLD! In the immortal words of Tony Khan, LET’S EFFIN’ GO!! Ospreay is still banged up and bloody, but will he be golden after tonight?

The fans fire up for the ripcord and- NO, Ospreay POP-UP POWERBOMBS, and then pops Okada into the STYLES CLASH!! Cover, TWO!!! Okada survives what finished Fletcher, but the fans are thunderous! Ospreay roars as he throws off the elbow pad! Ospreay goes to a corner, takes aim, HIDDEN- Scoop and MICHINOKU DRIVER! Then a ripcord, RAINMAKER!! Cover, TWO?!?! Ospreay survives and shocks everyone, Okada most of all!
Okada shakes his head but the fans hope these two “FIGHT FOREVER!” But it has to end somehow, there’s still the main event! Okada hauls Ospreay up but Ospreay fires elbows! Ospreay hobbles, but Okada ROCKS him! Ospreay drops to his knees, but he reaches out in a daze. Okada stands Ospreay up to UPPERCUT! The fans duel while Ospreay manages to stay on his feet. Ospreay leans against Okada, but Okada UPPERCUTS! Ospreay droops down, flops forward, but Okada gives him scuffing kicks! The fans boo but Okada hauls Ospreay up, just to DECK him! Ospreay falls towards ropes, but he refuses to give up.
Ospreay slowly rises and the fans rally. Okada dares Ospreay to take a shot. Ospreay stands and the fans fire up again! Ospreay storms up, but Okada ducks the free shot to GERMAN SUPLEX! And then ripcord and middle finger, RAIN- SPANISH FLY!! Cover, TWO!! Ospreay, crimson mask renewed, rises up as the fans fire up! Ospreay aims from a corner, Okada sits up, HIDDEN- DROPKICK! SUPERKICK from Ospreay! OSCUT- DROPKICK!! Ripcord, RAIN- NO, Ospreay ducks to STEAL RAINMAKER!! And now STORM BREAKER!!! Cover, TWO?!?! Okada survives and Orlando is erupting!
Ospreay rises, he brings Okada around, and he calls is shot! Underhooks and TIGER- NO, Okada flips free to LARIAT!! Okada holds onto the wrist while the fans are rallying up again. Okada drags Ospreay back up, to LARIATA! Ospreay stays up and he roars at Okada! Then he BOOTS, HOOK KICKS, and loads up! HIDDEN- NO, Okada ducks that! And he ducks the buzzsaw! But Ospreay slips through the Rainmaker to STORM- NO, Okada arm-drags free! They both run, they both dodge, HIDDEN- NO! Okada clinches and ripcords, RAINMAKER!!! Cover, OKADA WINS!!!
Winner: Kazuchika Okada, by pinfall (2024 Continental Classic Winner, still AEW Continental Champion)
Continental Classic? Nah, INSTANT classic! Okada wins the C2, he holds onto the title, and he ties Masahiro Chono in major tournament wins! Will anyone ever be better than Kazuchika Okada? But bigger than the win, Okada shows Ospreay respect by shaking his hand. But now, what is next for Ospreay now that he isn’t a champion?
Wait, Christopher Daniels makes his way out here, mic in hand. The Fallen Angel congratulates Okada on winning the C2, as well as continuing his reign as champion. The fans applaud that, too. Daniels says that normally, this would be where he comes down to present Okada with the title belt, but he can’t do that. What? That’s because as of tonight, Daniels is no longer an EVP for AEW. But THIS man is! IT’S KENNY OMEGA! The fans are thunderous as The Best Bout Machine finally returns, having survived diverticulitis and making a full recovery! The fans cheer on “KENNY! KENNY!” as he holds up the belt and brings it to Okada.
Fans lose their minds again seeing Omega and Okada in the same ring again. Okada holds up the Continental Championship, and Omega applauds the champ. Omega takes his leave, having to prepare for his own match at WrestleDynasty. Will the Best Bout Machine take care of Gabe Kidd to prove he’s back and better than ever?
AEW World Championship Fatal 4 Way: Jon Moxley VS Orange Cassidy VS Jay White VS Hangman Page!
The moment the Blackpool Combat Club turned on Bryan Danielson, we all should’ve known AEW would change for the worst. The Maniac has said a lot of things during his reign of terror, from how he is the only one willing to do what is necessary, to how no one else is worthy of even looking at the title. Freshly Squeezed almost had Moxley at Full Gear, but now things have gone above and beyond what anyone was expecting! Moxley ended Rampage by saying he would bring peace to AEW, but is he confusing “peace” with “quiet?” Or will there be an end to the madness with a new champion?
The introductions are made, the belt-, Well, no, the briefcase supposedly containing the title is raised, and time to see who is truly fighting for the greater good!
The bell rings and Marina makes sure briefcase is secured. But then White and Hangman argue over who gets Moxley first. Moxley drops out of the ring to let them argue, and Cassidy tries to calm them down. White & Hangman shove Cassidy away, so Cassidy just DIVES onto Moxley! The fans fire up as Cassidy fires hands! Hangman and White storm out there to join in, they mug Moxley 3v1! The fans cheer as Moxley is pinballed around ringside! They SMACK Moxley off the apron, and then stomp him against railing! The mugging continues, the ref has Marina stay back, but here come Claudio, Yuta & Pac!
Claudio drags Moxley up and over the railing, but that just means Moxley’s challengers pursue! The fans fire up as there’s a brawl in the crowd! Hangman fires hands with Claudio, Cassidy has Moxley in the bleachers, but Marina goes after Cassidy! The fans fire up, Moxley throat chops Cassidy! Moxley TOSSES Cassidy back to the floor, then sends him into more railing! Moxley fires forearms, the rest of the Death Riders brawl with Hangman and White, but then Moxley BOOTS Cassidy! Moxley “apologizes” to fans as he brings Cassidy up and TOSSES him over railing! Moxley and Cassidy go to the ring while Yuta, Hangman, Claudio and White brawl!
Security drags Claudio and Yuta away, no more brawling out there. Moxley mocks Cassidy by giving him those “devastating” kicks! Then Moxley kicks away on Cassidy for real! Moxley runs, but Cassidy bails out! Moxley pursues and he drags Cassidy up to put in the ring. But then Cassidy rolls out the far side! The fans cheer but Moxley gets annoyed. Moxley goes out the side, storms up on Cassidy, but Cassidy says wait, wait, wait. Hands in pockets! Moxley grins, but then surprise! Hangman & White are back to grab his arms! Cassidy runs up to ORANGE PUNCH Moxley! The fans fire up as now they bring him to the Spanish announce desk!
Fans fire up as White & Orange haul Moxley up for Hangman, TRIPLE POWERBOMB through the desk!! The fans fire up for that Shield shoutout, does that make Cassidy and the others the Elite Hounds of Justice? But now with Moxley down, Hangman DECKS White and whips Cassidy into railing! Hangman puts White in the ring, Aalbama Lifts, but White silps fere! White clinches, Hangman fights free! Both men dodge the big haymakers but Hangman LARIATS White! Cassidy is back, but Hangman scoops him, FALL AWAY SLAM into buckles! Cover, White breaks it! White ROCKS and CHOPS Hangman, but Hangman CLAWS White’s eyes!
Hangman whips White hard into buckles, then he BOOTS Cassidy! Cover, TWO! Wait, we get a glimpse at The Patriarchy watching from the skybox. Christian Cage has his Casino Royale contract, is he just waiting for this to finish? Hangman CHOPS White down while fans point at the other skybox. That’s Hook! Hook dares Christian to try so he can screw him up! Hangman sees all this, but then shrugs it off to go after White. Hangman whips White to railing, then he runs up, to BOOT White down! The fans are torn but Hangman BOOTS Cassidy! Hangman taunts fans, then whips Cassidy back into railing!
Hangman stands Cassidy up, and whips him hard into steel steps! But White CHOPS Hangman! Hangman DECKS White, and we see Marina checking on Moxley. Hangman whips White hard into railing, then he goes back for Cassidy. Hangman puts Cassidy in the ring, watches him go to a corner, but fans taunt Hangman with “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Hangman LARIATS Cassidy in a corner, then tells Orlando to shut up! Cassidy BOOTS Hangman! Cassidy goes up but Hangman ROCKS him! And CHOPS him! Hangman goes up but Cassidy fires body shots! Cassidy shoves Hangman down, leaps, FLYING LARIAT!
Cassidy keeps moving, ducks ‘n’ dodges then tilt-o-whirls, but Hangman stops the DDT! Suplex, but STUN DOG MILLIONAIRE hits! White is back but Cassidy elbows him away. But White spins Cassidy around, suplexes, STUN- NO! White stops that to CUTTHROAT SUPLEX! White ducks the sliding lariat, blocks a kick, but Hangman ROKCS White! White CHOPS Hangman, runs, but into a POP-UP- RANA! White then LARIATS Hangman up and out! But Moxley is back! He KNEES White down! Cassidy has Moxley! BEACH- NO, Moxley sunset flips! Cassidy rolls through to PENALTY KICK! ORANGE- CUTTER from Moxley!
Moxley stands, and he has a bloody wound on the back of his head! But he doesn’t care, he sees Hangman step up! The fans fire up as these two step up, and fans wanna see #CowboyS*it! The forearms start flying back and forth, but then Moxley fires knees and a forearm! Moxley runs but Hangman ROCKS him! Hangman runs, Moxley LARIATS! Cassidy runs up but is put on the apron! Cassidy ROCKS Mox first, but Moxley CLUBS him back! White rolls Moxley up! TWO!! Clinch and BLADE- NO, Moxley rolls White, TWO! Hangman is back to BOOT Moxley! White blocks a boto to DRAGON SCREW! Moxley LARIATS White!
Cassidy is back, tilt-o-whirl DDT! All four men are down and the fans fire up! Cassidy goes to one corner, the others stand, and all four men stare down. The fans fire up, but then Cassidy falls over! White CHOPS Moxley, ROCKS Hangman, repeat! White CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS< then he fires shot after shot! White catches Moxldey to a CDUTTRHOAT PLEX! DISCU SLAREITR for White! DEADEYE for Moxley! ORANGE PUNCH for Hangman! BLADE- NO, Cassidy slips out to ORANGE PUNCH! And then Cassidy runs at Moxley, tilt=-o-whirl, but Mxoley stops that! Cassidy fights the underhooks to ORANGE PUNCH!!
The fans fire up, Cassidy falls on the cover, but Hangman YANKS the ref out!! The fans boo but Hangman doesn’t care, there’s no rules but to win! And he aisma t Cassidy! BUCKSHOT!! Hangman reloads, he BOOTS White away, then takes aim! BUCKSHOT!! Hangman sees Moxley but Moxley kicks first! Gotch hold, but Hangman lifts first! DEADEYE!!! All four men are down again and the fans fire up! Hangman slides out to the apron, reloads, but Yuta is back to grab Hangman’s foot! Hangman BOOTS Yuta, but Marina sneaks a chair in! Moxley has the chair, but Hangman BOOTS! And now BUCKSHOT!! Cover, but the ref is still out!
Hangman shouts for a new ref, any ref, but Cassidy gets Hangman in a ghost pin!! TWO!!! Hangman escapes, and he CHOKES Cassidy! Cassidy breaks free, but Hangman LOW BLOWS! But White hits a BLADERUNNER!! Hnagman flounders away, but Moxley is back! So White gives him BLADERUNNER!! Cover, YUTA CLOBBERS THE REF!!! That’s two refs as collateral damage, and fans boo the little sneak! White glares at Yuta, the fans tell him off, but Yuta dares White to do something! But Marina is int he ring now!

Yuta runs up, BUSAIKU KNEE on White!! Moxley hauls White up to underhook! DEATH RIDER!! Claudio shoves the first ref back in, and the ref counts, MOXLEY WINS!!
Winner: Jon Moxley, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
Hypocrisy, thy name is Moxley! No ego? Peace? Worthiness? Moxley isn’t the champion, the entire team of the Death Riders are, because it took them all to screw over three men! Cassidy is beside himself because his plan was working, if not for Hangman pulling the trigger too soon. But now The Death Riders drag White up, and Moxley has a chair. But wait! FTR is here! Dax & Cash warned that the Death Riders would face the consequences of their actions, and then the lights go out! “RATED FTR?!” YES!! Because here comes ADAM COPELAND!!! The fans are thunderous as now Team AEW has an edge over The Death Riders!!
Christian is in as much shock as anyone, and the fight is on! FTR brawls with Yuta & Claudio, but Claudio UPPERCUTS! But then FTR TOSSES Claudio & Yuta! Cash DIVES and he wipes out Claudio! Yuta returns, but into the SHATTER MACHINE!! Copeland steps into the ring, and from one maniac to another, he stares Moxley down. The fans are thunderous as these two start swinging! Edge dodges to SPEAR!! Moxley flounders, Edge throws off the jacket, and Christian says time to go. Edge grabs that chair from earlier, and he busts off the crossbar! THE DEAL!! Moxley endures the bar in his mouth!
Moxley flails but he fades! Fans chant “You Deserve It!” but Claudio drags Moxley out of the ring! Edge gets a mic, and once it turns on, he tells Moxley, “You look at me when I talk to you, kid! Yeah, I called you ‘kid’ because you were growin’ pubes when Is tarted doing this! You’re ALL MINE!! Rated FTR, we’re taking it all!!” Well, Moxley has the world title, and the Death Riders have the World Trios Championships, but are their days numbered now that Edge and the #TopGuys are after them?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Worlds End, though with just a few things to critique. We got another great Zero Hour, and it flows much better with just three matches, as it allows the matches to breathe while also giving time for preshow stuff like the panel discussing things and some interview promos on top of it. Great win for Toni and good stuff from Deonna throwing the “bad memory” act back at her. Toni VS Deonna will be great stuff for New Year’s Collision, and I would think it’s another win for Toni. Great win for Jeff Jarrett, and I like the announcement tease. The implication is Jarrett will retire but no, he’s definitely thinking he can go for a title.
Very good 8 Man Tag, and very good win for the Heels. I do like that Lio & Action sniped the win for themselves, that gives them momentum going into their tag title match with Private Party. I don’t think they’ll win, though, as Private Party’s reign has still only just begun. Very good intro video, and I guess TK really likes Guns ‘n’ Roses. Opening with the Continental Classic semifinals was the logical move, given the winners would need time to rest. It also worked out to fire up the fans, those four guys are just that good. Ospreay may have cut himself a bit too deep, though, that blood drip was a bit much.
Ospreay beating Kyle and Okada beating Ricochet were the right choices, especially the latter. Okada was of course going to be defending the title in the finals, and that really was an instant classic. Okada getting a moment with Omega was also great, that really teases what we could be getting in 2025. Swerve getting fans to throw toilet paper was great stuff, that really let the fans express the Heel heat (bordering on Go Away heat) Ricochet has gotten. Ricochet VS Swerve is going to be great stuff whenever we get it, can’t wait to see who wins out. Though at the same time, did TK really just pull another “dropped story” of Swerve with Lashley…?
Mariah VS Rosa was great, but it felt shorter than it should’ve been. I figured Mariah was going to find a way to win no matter what, but they could’ve pushed it another three minutes or so to really build some drama going into that finish. In the end, it just seems like another instance where the AEW Women’s World Championship gets overshadowed by the TBS Championship, because Mone VS Kris Round 2 was incredible. Now I will say, Mone wanting the ring out count was weirdly handled, like she went out there a couple more times than she probably had to. And really, Mone winning here is a bit of a shame because Kris is 0-2, and for what reason? Well, aside from maybe Kris moving up to the world title now.
MJF VS Cole was great stuff, but MJF retaining the diamond ring is another questionable choice to me. MJF has had that stupid ring for long enough, and it was a perfect pun of Cole and diamond waiting to happen. But fine, Cole gets the moral victory because Roddy returned, and both Roddy & Kyle helped Cole beat up MJF so that Kyle would stand tall with Undisputed Kingdom. I don’t think Kyle would leave Conglomeration for Kingdom, but whatever Kyle chooses could create drama between those factions. But that said, all the more reason Cole should have the diamond ring, and it could corrupt him like the One Ring from Lord of the Rings, and Cole uses it to win matches just like MJF used to.
Great match from Hobbs VS Takeshita, and great selling from Hobbs on his knee. Takeshita winning is only somewhat surprising, because going back to WrestleKingdom & WrestleDynasty, Takeshita is taking on Shingo Takagi. Takagi is still NEVER Openweight Champion, so now it will be Winner Takes All! And then, whoever is dual NEVER Openweight & AEW International Champion takes on Tomohiro Ishii in another Winner Takes All. I suppose it’d be awesome for Takeshita to return from Japan as dual champion, or even for Ishii or Takagi to show up as dual champion and defend both titles on NJPW events, but it just seems like Hobbs could’ve gotten this win to continue things with the Don Callis Family a little longer.
And of course, great stuff in the main event. It started how I figured, i.e. The Death Riders starting a fight with the challengers, them brawling all over, and then things turning into 3v1 on Moxley. At the same time, we of course knew the alliance was not lasting long, but it works that Hangman was the one to turn on the others. Great detail having Christian and Hook present, it was just as I figured last night where Hook was keeping Christian from cashing in. Moxley of course wins because of The Death Riders, but what a great moment with Copeland’s return. Rated FTR VS Death Riders on Fight for the Fallen will be great stuff, and maybe another opportunity for Christian to cash in. I can’t believe I actually want to see Christian cash in just to shake things up…
My Score: 9.4/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Chris Jericho w/ “Big Bill” Morrissey VS Anthony Bowens w/ Max Caster; wins.
“All hail the King of New York!” At least, that’s what the new introduction for The Learning Tree says. He comes out once again wearing that weird Statue of Liberty headgear, but also holding up a cheap torch of liberty as he walks to the ring, ROH World Championship still around his waist. Will the Nueve get another 1-2-3 in Hammerstein? Or is the Scissor King about to cut Jericho down?
But as always, Platinum Max has a diss track! “I don’t mess with The Learning Tree. Chris Jericho’s so high, guys, I think he’s burning trees. We wreckin’ you guys! Anthony Bowens and the Best Wrestler Alive!” Caster gets up in the camera before he hands the mic over. Bowens tells, “HAMMERSTEEEEIN, BALLROOOOOM~! The Acclaimed have arrived!” No Daddy Ass but The Acclaimed scissor it up! The bell rings and Jericho waves, “Hi, guys~!” The fans boo, but then Bowens throws up the scissors and the fans cheer. Jericho waves, the fans boo. Bowens puts up the scissors, the fans cheer. And then repeat!
Caster applauds while Bowens and Jericho circle. Jericho wants to scissor? Bowens slaps those away to CHOP! And CHOP! CHOP! And then Bowens fires haymakers! Bowens has Jericho in the corner, fires more shots, then DECKS Jericho! The fans rally for Bowens and he storms back up. Bowens CHOPS Jericho, brings him out and knees low. Bowens fires forearms and elbows again and again and again! Bowens then CLUBS Jericho down! Bowens tells Hammerstein that “Everyone! Loves! The-” Caster gets in the shot! Bowens tells Caster to move and gives him a push. Caster shrugs that off to get a reluctant high-five from Bowens.
But Jericho pokes Bowens in the eyes! Bowens goes to a corner, Jericho fires forearms, then he whips corner to corner. Jericho runs up to LARIAT, then he snapmares Bowens down. Jericho soaks up heat acting like it’s cheers, then he brings Bowens up for a BIG back suplex! Cocky cover, ONE! Jericho waves to the fans, then he goes back to Bowens. Jericho CHOPS, CHOPS and CHOPS again! And then CHOPS again! Bowens staggers but Jericho bumps him off buckles. Jericho CHOPS again, whips corner to corner, then runs to BULL- NO, Bowens puts Jericho in the corner! Jericho sputters as he gets out of the ropes.
Bowens CHOPS, Jericho CHOPS, repeat! Jericho whips, Bowens reverses to CHOP, KNEE, and then CHOP on the back! Bowens sits Jericho down for a SHINING WIZARD! Cover, TWO! Bowens gets frustrated but the fans rally behind him. Bowens clinches, knees low, then whips. Jericho grabs ropes to avoid the dropkick! Jericho waves to the fans, then goes to ropes, but Bowens disrupts the Lionsault! DRAPING SIDEWINDER! Cover, TWO! Jericho survives but Bowens stays focused. The fans rally up and Bowens brings Jericho around. But Jericho wrenches out and trips Bowens up! Jericho has the legs!
Jericho turns Bowens over, WALLS OF JERICHO! Bowens endures, even as Jericho sits deep! Bowens powers up as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Bill rallies for Jericho but Bowens keeps fighting. Jericho wants Bowens to quit but Bowens refuses! Caster rallies the fans for Bowens and Bowens crawls, but Bill pulls the rope back!? Jericho then drags Bowens away from the ropes! Bowens still fights, the ref reprimands Bill, and now Bowens turns things over! Bowens throws hands from below! But Jericho pokes him in the eyes again! Jericho turns Bowens back over and sits even deeper on the Walls of Jericho! Bowens endures, Bill and Caster each cheer as hard as they can, and Rampage returns to single picture. Bowens fights, claws, crawls, and Caster pushes ropes closer! ROPEBREAK!
The fans cheer as Jericho lets Bowens go, and Caster coaches Bowens up. Bill claims there was a tap but the ref ignores him. Jericho storms up, and Bowens ROLLING ELBOWS! Jericho wobbles, Bowens runs up, FAMOUSER! Cover, TWO!! Jericho survives and Bowens grows frustrated. Bowens grits his teeth, clutches his back, but Bill grins on Jericho’s behalf. Bowens goes to the corner, climbs up, and fans ironically cheer on Bill. Jericho ROCKS Bowens, then climbs up. Jericho brings Bowens up to CLUB away, but Bowens throws body shots! Bowens DUMPS Jericho to the apron, and then Jericho flops to the floor!
Bowens adjusts his position up top to SUPER CROSSBODY! Down go Jericho & Bill! The fans are fired up and Caster joins in on cheering. Bowens puts Jericho in, goes back to the corner, and he climbs back up! The fans rally, but “Bad Apple” Bryan Keith shows himself! Keith distracts the ref, but Caster hurries in! Caster scoop SLAMS Jericho! Now Keith’s distraction is only helping as Caster opens Jericho up! Bowens says why not. SCISSOR ME TIMBERS! Cover, TWO!! Jericho survives and Bowens is beside himself, but Jericho wouldn’t be champion if he wasn’t this tough. Speaking of, Keith grabs the championship!
Bowens brings Jericho up, but gets a CODE BREAKER for it! Cover, TWO!! Bowens survives and Jericho gets mad at the ref! Keith sneaks around with the belt, and he tells fans to shut up. Jericho aims, runs up on Bowens, but Bowens ducks! Bowens fires off Rock, Paper, Scissors SUPERKICK! Cover, TWO!! Jericho survives again but Bowens barely has the energy to be upset! Now Bill gets on the apron! The ref argues with Bill but Keith has the belt! Caster storms in to stop Keith! They tug-o-war, Bowens shouts to Caster to just stop, but Keith lets go first! The belt SMACKS Bowens in the face!! Caster panics, Keith TACKLES him out of the ring!
The fans boo as everyone is down, but Jericho crawls over! Cover, JERICHO WINS!!
Winner: Chris Jericho, by pinfall
Caster can’t believe how badly he messed up, and now the “King of New York” trumps the Scissor King! Will anyone ever cut down The Learning Tree when his Branches keep getting in the way? Is The Acclaimed going to be on the rocks after this mess?
Private Party walks through their New York.
They help out the homeless man at the subway station by stuffing his cup full o’ fifties, hop on a train headed to Main Street, hang out with their adoring fans and even the media, then arrive at 34th Street in time for the show. How they keep it so clean? Shots, of course. Everyone they meet welcomes them back, and every camera that sees them snags a picture. Brother Zay tells NYC, “Your champs is home.”
Private Party VS Alec Price & Leo Sparrow!
Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy know Lio Rush & Action Andretti want their “SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!” at these belts, so it’s time to tune up! Will these real New Yorkers show how champions do it in the Big Apple?
The teams sort out and fans chant “Yeeeah~!” for their guys. Zay starts against Price and the two circle. Price kicks low, mocks the “Shots! Shots! Shots!” then ROCKS Zay! Price whips, but Zay flapjack DROPKICKS! Zay kips up, tags Quen, and they get Price up for an atomic drop and ENZIGIRI! Then a CATAPULT for Price into the corner while Zay hits a triangle jump STUNNER on Sparrow! Quen sets up, Zay runs up, PARTY IN MOTION! Zay then puts Price up top before Quen FLIES out onto Sparrow! Zay ROCKS Price, then Quen runs in! Quen goes up for some GIN & JUICE! Cover, Private Party wins!
Winner: Private Party, by pinfall
A tune-up? That was more like a workout for Quen & Zay! The AEW World Tag Team Champions are ready, but wait! Here come Lio & Action! The Bad Child & The Sight to See egg Private Party on with those cocky smiles, so here comes Private Party! The brawl is on at the ramp! Quen has Lio, Action has Zay, and the fans fire up for the scrap! But then here comes the Top Flight OGs! Darius & Dante pick up Lio & Action to RAM them into Quen & Zay! The fans are going wild as we get a three way brawl! Security hurries out here, but stopping six men is easier said than done! Refs rush out here, right as Action CLOBBERS Dante!
The fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” but Leila Grey is needing to get in the ring for her match! Will Private Party have to double book with Lio, Action and the Martins?
“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs speaks.
“It’s signed, it’s sealed, it’s delivered. At Worlds End, Takeshita VS Powerhouse Hobbs for the AEW International Championship. Y’see, Don, whenever I hear your name, I think about all the times you didn’t call me, you didn’t check me, you didn’t text me, you didn’t send a pitch in, whatever, when I was injured. But you failed, Don, cuz you constantly tried to replace me. You’ve walked the streets of Oakland with me, you’ve been to my neighborhood. I’ve introduced you to people. So what’s gonna happen at Worlds End? I’m gonna take that championship from Takeshita, and I’m gonna bust his head to the white meat.
“But hey, the New Year’s upon us. But for you, Don, Takeshita, the whole Don Callis Family, it is gonna be a Worlds End.” Hobbs gives the thumbs down, will he tear down The Alpha and bring the whole family with him?
Thunder Rosa VS Leila Grey!
The chaos has been cleared from ringside, just in time for La Mera Mera to make her way to the ring. Rosa is getting ready to fight Mariah May in a Tijuana Street Fight, will the Top Flight Attendant simply be an appetizer?
The bell rings and the two shake hands. The fans cheer the show of respect, and the two circle. They tie up, Rosa waistlocks, then she trips Leila to cover, ONE! Rosa waistlocks but Leila fights up. Leila switches but Rosa wrenches out. Rosa headlocks, spins, waistlocks again, but Leila wrenches out to step over and spin Rosa. Leila wrenches, snapmares, and then clamps on a chinlock. Rosa fights up while fans cheer, and Rosa snapmares free. Rosa clamps on a chinlock, then puts Leila in a corner. Rosa CHOPS and the fans cheer. Rosa whips corner to corner but Leila reverses. Rosa goes up and over, then arm-drags Leila around!
Rosa wrenches Leila, snapmares and runs, SLIDING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Leila survives that but Rosa brings her right up. Rosa scoops to SLAM, then asks, “One more time?” The fans cheer yes! Rosa scoops but Leila victory rolls! TWO, and Rosa runs up, but Leila ROCKS her first! Leila fires more shots, kicks low, kicks again, then kicks a leg out! Leila runs to SHOTGUN! The fans fire up and Leila storms over to Rosa. Leila stands Rosa up and reels her in, but Rosa fires body shots. Rosa CHOPS, then CHOPS again! Rosa whips, Leila reverses, but Rosa DROPKICKS Leila down! The fans fire up with Rosa as she rises!
Rosa stomps Leila around, brings her up, and Rampage goes picture in picture.
Rosa bumps Leila off buckles, turns her around, and CHOPS her again! Rosa puts Leila on ropes, then puts some stank and even a little Latina Heat on the DOUBLE CHOP! Leila sputters, but Rosa whips her to ropes. Leila reverses, drop toeholds, and she hooks a leg! Rosa endures but then Leila rolls to tie up the legs, INVERTED FIGURE FOUR! But then Rosa fights to turn that over! Now Rosa puts the pressure on, and she pulls hair! The ref reprimands, Rosa lets go of the hair, but Leila rolls and rolls, and they both fall to the floor! Rosa rises first, and she stomps Leila around. Rosa drags Leila up but Leila fires body shots!
Rosa whips Leila hard into steel steps! Rosa storms over, Leila fires more body shots! Leila CLUBS Rosa, SMACKS her off the steel steps, then CHOPS her! Both women go into the ring and Leila goes to a corner while Rampage goes to break.
New Year’s Smash returns and the fans duel as Leila fires forearms on Rosa in the corner. Leila brings Rosa out to snap suplex, then roll through for a GOURD BUSTER!

And bumps off buckles! Rosa fires up, runs corner to corner and back again, A-LIST LARIAT! Leila flops down, Rosa SWINGING DROPKICKS! The fans fire up and Rosa has Leila on the ropes. Rosa throws off her elbow pads and the fans fire up!
Rosa runs in to DROPKICK Leila against ropes! Cover, TWO! Leila stays in this but Rosa stays on her. Rosa stands Leila up, underhooks, but Leila fights out to fire a forearm!

Message sent to Mariah May, and Rosa says there are two things in life that matter most: respect and family! And Mariah crossed the line on both! Will Rosa make sure to cross out Mariah once and for all? Or will The Woman From Hell win this street fight with glamour?

Hook VS Nick Wayne w/ The Patriarchy!
This battle of second generation stars is all stemming from Christian Cage’s cowardly attack on Taz, and then escalated when The Patriarchy tried to convince Hook he was better off with him. The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil may have his arm in a cast, but will The Patriarchy’s Prodigy need much more than that? Or will Wayne’s World #SendHook home without anything to show for it?
Christian says hello to commentary and is of course asked his plans for Worlds End given his Casino Royale contract allows him to cash in anywhere and anytime. Christian of course refuses to comment. In the ring, Hook is nonchalant as ever, so Nick runs up to attack from behind! The bell rings and Nick fires off on Hook in the corner! The fans boo but Nick soaks it up. Nick says he’s just that smart. But no he ain’t since he turned his back on Hook! Hook storms up and then TOSSES Nick to a corner! Hook fires off on Nick with body shots and a CHOP! But then he throws a left out of instinct and feels the pain!
Nick BOOTS Hook down, then shakes off the damage. Nick storms up, but Hook clinches! EXPLODER! The fans fire up while Nick writhes, and Hook gets the fans fired up more. But Nick BOOTS Hook again! Nick hurries to snap suplex! Nick soaks up heat from Hammerstein while Mother Shayna says, “He’s perfect! Perfect!” Nick stands Hook up, snapmares him, then drops a leg fast! Cover, TWO! The fans boo Nick but Nick just smirks. Nick talks smack on the fans, but then Hook DUMPS Nick out! Nick smacks off the apron as he goes! Hook then hurries out after Nick, SMACKS him off the apron, then whips him!
Nick reverses and Hook hits steel steps hard! Hook writhes, Nick goes into the ring to go after a buckle pad, and the ref hurries to stop him. But this is all so Kip can put Hook’s cast hand on the steps, and Christian uses the contract’s binder to SMASH it! The fans boo while The Patriarchy acts innocent. The ref can tell something went on, though, so he decides to EJECT The Patriarchy! The fans cheer and Christian is furious, but the ref says don’t even try it! Nick is beside himself but now it’s finally a fair fight! The fans cheer “Hey Hey Hey, Goodbye~!” while Rampage goes picture in picture.
Hook checks his bad hand, and it’s still working. But then Nick storms out, grabs that hand, and SLAMS it off the steps! Hook writhes all over again while Nick looms over him. Nick drags Hook up to whip him hard into railing! Nick soaks up the heat while he flexes, then goes back for Hook. Nick throws Hook into the ring, goes to a corner, and he swaggers over. Nick eggs Hook on, drags him up by the bad hand, then snapmares so he can isolate that arm! Nick soaks up the heat and STOMPS the arm! Hook writhes, Nick pushes him to a cover, TWO! Nick mockingly applauds Hook’s toughness, then grabs the bad hand.
Nick turns Hook over, pulls on the bad arm, and bends the fingers! Hook endures, but Nick BITES a finger! The ref reprimands, Nick lets off, and says that was finger licking good. Nick soaks up more heat, then stands Hook up to SMACK the bad hand off buckles! Hook sits down in the corner, but Nick drags him back up. Nick SMACKS the hand off buckles again! Then Nick snapmares Hook so he can STOMP the hand! Cover, TWO! Nick is annoyed but he cools off. Nick stands Hook up but Hook fires body shots! Hook runs, but Nick ELBOWS him down! Nick pulls on the bad hand as New Year’s Smash returns to single picture.
Wait, Nick doesn’t just pull at the hand! He RIPS the cast open! Nick TOSSES it to the crowd, free souvenir! Nick drags Hook around by the bad hand, then stands on it! Nick STOMPS the hand again! And then again! And then he fakes the stomp, to scuff Hook! The fans boo but Nick stands Hook up. Hook hits another EXPLODER! The fans fire up as Hook can still use the good arm for that! Nick rises up, Hook runs in and he KNEES low! Hook then hooks Nick for the IPPON! Then a LARIAT int he corner! NORTHERN LIGHTS! Nick writhes and flounders away, but Hook runs up! Hook stops the boot, and reels Nick in for a FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!
The bad hand kept that from being perfect, but Hook stays focused. Hook storms up on Nick, waistlocks, and the fans rally up. Nick fights with elbows! Nick is free, but then swings into the waistlock! Nick CLUBS the bad hand! Nick baits Hook into a corner and sends him into buckles! Nick storms back up, and he drags Hook by the bad arm. Nick puts Hook’s arm against the second rope’s crossbar, and then stands on it! The fans boo but Nick soaks up all the heat! The ref reprimands and counts, but Hook YANKS Nick down! Nick hits off the top rope before going to the apron! Nick crawls along the apron, but Hook hurries out after him!
Hook waistlocks while the fans rally up, but Nick grabs the ropes! Nick pries the hold open, then has Hook’s hand to bend those fingers back! ELBOW BREAKER, and then Nick goes up! WAYNE’S- NO! Hook catches Nick for an APRON GERMAN!! Nick flops to the floor and the fans fire up! Hook also flops down and the ref starts a ring count. The fans rally as Hook rises, and Hook drags Nick up to put in at 3 of 10. Hook hurries to cover, TWO! Nick stays in this but Hook snarls. Nick goes back to the apron but Hook grabs him. Nick BITES the bad hand! The ref reprimands, Nick stops at 4 to HOTSHOT Hook!
Nick hurries up top while Hook is down! Nick mocks RVD, then aims to FIVE STAR FROG SPLASH!! Cover, TWO!! Hook survives, Nick is not one of a kind after all! Nick seethes and he scuffs Hook. Nick stomps Hook, kicks him, then stands over him with arms crossed, a pose done by Hook’s other mentor, Katsuyori Shibata. Nick drags Hook up, then lifts him, for an EXPLODER! But Hook’s right up! Hook LARIATS Nick inside out! The fans fire up and Hook slowly rises. Wait, Christian & Kip return? This isn’t allowed! Well wait, speaking of Shibata, here he comes! And he’s armed with a 2-by-4! Hacksaw would be proud!
Shibata chases Christian & Kip all around the ringside area, then back up the ramp! The fans cheer “HOOOOO~!” and Hook has Nick! RED- ELBOW BREAKER! Nick aims for a corner, but Hook grabs him again! Nick slips free to get around and roll up, with tights! TWO!! ROUNDHOUSE!! Nick goes up, up, and WAYNE’S- REDRUM!!!! Nick sputters, flails, but fades! Nick is OUT!! Hook wins!!
Winner: Hook, by submission
The Patriarchy tried every trick in the book, but they could not break Hook! But will Hook make sure to break Christian Cage for what he did to Taz?
Marina Shafir has commandeered a camera!
The Problem makes sure we all see that The Death Riders have just mugged Darby Allin backstage! The Maniac has Wheeler Yuta & Pac stand Darby up, then tells him, “You left me no choice. No choice.” Moxley looks to Claudio and tells him to do it. Moxley then hits Darby with a BODY BLOW, and Claudio has a chair! Claudio puts the chair around Darby’s neck, just as he did to Bryan Danielson and to Chuck Taylor! Darby is pushed down onto the floor, and Claudio hops up onto a road case! Claudio jumps down to STOMP the chair!! Moxley then kicks Darby down stairs!! Darby tumbles all the way down to the bottom!
The fans boo this literal crime caught on tape, but The Death Riders leave Darby behind. Darby is down in the basement, will he ever rise back up?
Rampage returns and…
Moxley and Marina are in the ring, and Moxley has a mic to say, “If you’re showering me with hate right now, I forgive you. And I would ask you to look inward. Maybe this isn’t about me, this is about you. I’ve had to make some tough decisions, I’ve had to make some difficult choices. I’ve made some unpopular decisions. There are a lot of people in AEW who don’t like me, who have a problem with me, who have a problem with the things that I do, the things that I say, the things that we do. We do things that need to get done, and there’s a lot of people who have a problem with that.
“I think right now is a good time, here at the end of the year, to say that if anybody, anybody back there, if there is anybody in this buliding that has a problem with me or my people, or what we do, then you come out here right now and you tell me all about your problem. You tell me all about the problems you ahve with what you think we’re trying to accomplish. You come out here, tell me exactly what your problem is.” Moxley drops the mic and waits in his chair. And first out is KOMANDER! He definitely has a problem, he was one of the first to get hit by the Death Riders! Well, now he gets CLOBBERED by Claudio!
The Swiss Superman sprang outta nowhere, and he owes Komander for the Continental Classic on Christmas! The Death Riders put Komander in the ring and stomp away, but here comes Top Flight, another of the Death Riders’ victims! That’s still not enough, they get mugged 4v2! The fans rally for “A E DUB!” in hopes more heroes will appear. ORANGE CASSIDY IS HERE! Freshly Squeezed saunters out here, and Marina stands in his way. Well, turns out he’s not alone, because here comes Willow Nightingale! And the Babe with the Power runs up, dodges Marina, then fires off on her! Cassidy walks to the ring while the ladies handle things.
Wait, Hangman Page sneaks in from the crowd! And Jay White, too! The challengers to Moxley’s AEW World Championship are united against their common enemies and the tides have turned! Moxley stays back while his Death Riders fight the challengers, but then that leaves him open to Komander! The fans fire up as now Top Flight is back up, this is 7v4 in favor of Team AEW! And now let’s add Lio, Action, and even Konosuke Takeshita and Lance Archer! They may not get along with each other, but they all hate the Death Riders! Now Beast Mortos and The Butcher are here! And wait, Deonna Purrazzo and Harley Cameron are here!
Toni Storm and Thunder Rosa head out here, to go after Deonna and Harley as they’re trying to help Marina! Security hurries out here, but now we add Private Party and Daniel Garcia! They definitely hate The Death Riders! Rocky Romero is here to represent Conglomeration! Shibata joins in! Wait, wait, the spotlight finds Christian Cage watching from the upper deck! And he smiles, because all this chaos simply benefits him and his Casino Royale contract. MORE security and now Christopher Daniels head out here, the Fallen Angel wants to restore order! The Death Riders find an opening to slip away, and they grab a pipe!?
Pac uses that pipe to SMASH at the control board at ringside! They’re trying to end the show by any means necessary!! Pac BREAKS the board, and 75% of the lights go out! The brawling continues in the darkness, but it is clear the Death Riders are in retreat! Marina makes sure a cameraman follows them, too. They head right for the exit, Moxley says he’s done with this s*it. Things slowly calm down in the ring, and we stick with the Death Riders… as they get into the production truck?! Moxley shoves the head producer and mockingly asks how anyone’s supposed to do their jobs with all this chaos going on!
Moxley says, “They’re all fighting for scraps! But I will put an end to the chaos on December 28th, and I will clear the playing field, and I will bring peace to my people! And right now, what I’m gonna do is I’m gonna put an end to Rampage. CUT IT! CUT IT RIGHT NOW!” The team does as told, and we’re off the air. If this is how Moxley plans on running things, is AEW only going to fall apart under his rule? Or can Cassidy, White and Hangman free AEW from his reign of terror?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Rampage here, especially when this is to be the last Rampage for the foreseeable future. I do like how they kayfabe’d it to be Moxley cancelling the show, not a corporate decision to focus more on Dynamite, Collision, and even ROH. It parallels how Jericho was the kayfabe reason for Collision being made, not the combination of Warner Brothers Discovery giving AEW more and CM Punk needing a place to go that was separate from The Elite.
They did a great job with how they “shut down” Rampage, though. Well, first they give us another kayfabe attempt at murder, and this is actually the second time Darby Allin has been kicked down stairs in AEW. The Men of the Year, Scorpio Sky & Ethan Page, did that to him in 2020, and now The Death Riders have done it here. Obviously this is to make it seem like Darby Allin won’t be around for Worlds End, but I bet he does show up in an attempt to keep Claudio, Yuta & Pac from screwing over Cassidy, White & Hangman. I could just feel Moxley’s promo leading to a huge brawl, and it was a really fun one because we also got women involved going after Marina and each other.
Fun fact: Christian Cage opened the first episode, and he helped close the last episode. Speaking of Christian, and therefore The Patriarchy, very good match from Hook VS Nick Wayne, great bit of overbooking, including Shibata bringing out the Hacksaw Jim Duggan wood. Great win for Hook, and I’m pretty sure the story continues so that Hook stops Christian from his cash-in at Worlds End, setting up their own 1v1 match. Private Party’s match was so quick, but then it worked out that we got brawling from them with Lio & Action, and even with Darius & Dante. The tag champs are oddly taking Worlds End off, but we are seeing Top Flight and Lio & Action in the Zero Hour, so maybe the tag title match is going to be on Fight for the Fallen or even “Maximum Carnage” near the end of January.
Good segue from Private Party’s stuff with Top Flight to give us Leila VS Rosa, and that was really good match. Rosa of course won, but I’m still not confident in her chances of beating Mariah May. At best, it is 50-50 because the Tijuana Street Fight will allow them both to go wild, but with Toni Storm’s story going on, it’d be natural if they wanted Rockstar Toni to become a contender. Then we would see if Toni Time really did reset or if it’s all an act. And while Mercedes Mone has a busy next couple of weeks with Kris Statlander and their TBS Championship rematch, then WrestleKingdom/WrestleDynasty next week, I could see Rosa shift gears and finally get that TBS Championship should Mone retain through Worlds End.
Another interesting fact is that Jericho was on the first Rampage as “Le Champion” commentator Jericho, and he opens this last Rampage with a full-on “King of New York” gimmick, even though AEW is gonna leave New York. We still got great stuff out of The Acclaimed and their dysfunction. Caster was both helping and not helping Bowens, and so naturally Bowens loses. Jericho moves on, waiting for Bandido to be okay from that concussion he suffered at Final Battle (landing out of a springboard missile dropkick), and maybe biding his time with some other good midcard Faces at the same time. As for Acclaimed, Caster could try and apologize, or maybe he tries and brushes this off. Either way, Bowens gets mad at Caster, and the team is right on the edge of breaking up.
RIP Rampage, you served us well for the 177 or so episodes you had.
My Score: 8.9/10
