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!

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!

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!

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!

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?

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

MJF arrives backstage.
Renee Paquette is there to bring up tonight’s main event is Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita for the AEW World Championship. If Darby Allin wins, MJF will then have to sign a contract for Title VS Hair at Double or Nothing. Darby has made it clear that if MJF doesn’t sign said contract, Darby will never allow MJF to face him for the title again. We all know how important the title is for MJF, but is MJF willing to put his hair on the line for it? MJF just chuckles and moves on, but he notices the very bald Rick Knox, Bryce Remsburg, and the head of security, David Aponte. And then various bald members of the production staff…
And then even Christopher Daniels & Sonjay Dutt are there! Daniels and Sonjay chuckle before moving on, and then MJF sees John Silver flexing. Brandon Cutler, some arena staff, and even Tommaso Ciampa, all bald. Then last but certainly not least, Ricochet! He tells MJF that don’t worry, he’ll look great. Just not as good as Ricochet. AHA~! MJF storms off, will he have no choice but to choose between gold belt and chrome dome?

The fans fire up, Stoke freaks out, and The Bucks join Cope in the ring. They TRIPLE SUPERKICK Connors! Cassidy is in, ORANGE PUNCH! SPEAR from Cope!! Cover, C&C Conglomeration Bucks win!
Winners: Orange Cassidy, Adam Copeland, Christian Cage & The Young Bucks, by pinfall
Another star-studded 10 Man Tag, and it was a huge win for all the hungry contenders. Christian doesn’t wanna celebrate, but he does signal that he and Cope will be champions. Will putting their tag team legacy on the line be enough to take the gold? Or will Double or Nothing be the last night that team reeks of awesomeness?
Will Ospreay continues to train with The Death Riders.
They’re outside this time, Claudio Castagnoli playing some wall ball with Marina Shafir and Pac. Daniel Garcia says, “Tonight is the night that we’ve all been waiting for: The Aerial Assassin, Will Ospreay, is cleared and back on Dynamite. And rumor has it, the kid’s been working real hard and he’s got some new tricks up his sleeves. So Young Boy Billy, tonight you gotta show me something, c’mon.” Garcia gets a quick turn in on wall ball while cameras move over. Ospreay is maintaining a neck bridge while Jon Moxley uses Wheeler Yuta as a living dummy to show just how to push and pull and bend and twist on the various chinlocks and headlocks.
Use the right arm to push against the head, then snake in the left arm for the sleeper. Pry and shoot. Moxley asks how Ospreay feels. Ospreay lets off the bridge and says honestly, the best he’s felt in forever. Moxley asks if Ospreay remembers the night he won the Best of the Super Juniors. Yeah, 2019. AKA a lifetime ago. Ospreay was carefree, flew like a bird, for no other reason than that’s just what birds do. So simple back then, chasing that feeling, like no other feeling in the world. Can’t really grab it in your hands for more than a few seconds. The joy of doing it. Then everybody comes in and tries to make it so overcomplicated.
Years pass, life happens, a family starts, responsibilities show up, bad things happen, bad choices catch up to you, and it’s all weight on your shoulders. You feel like you can’t fly. But Moxley will tell you something: Nothing is different. Nothing has changed. All those things are still gonna be there, but you can still fly. You’re just more dangerous now. You’re a bird of prey. So tonight, when you got out there, don’t go out there to protect anything. Not your neck, your image, your reputation, or what you’ve built in your career. Go out there to give something. Moxley checks on Yuta and says dammit, if you’re gonna snap a headlock, snap the headlock!
Moxley storms off to instruct his pupil, but will Ospreay use everything he has been taught to great effect? Or will he have to fold against Ace Austin?
Chris Jericho speaks.
“You wanna face Jericho in a match of my own design, Ricochet? A spectacle so innovative, so imaginative, it cannot be contained, it can only be witnessed. Well, be careful what you demand, because you’ve made a few enemies yourself, Ricochet. And now a match designed specifically to settle scores without any, and I mean AAANY~, limitations has gotten even bigger.” Chris Jericho & The Hurt Syndicate were just looking for two more, but “Jungle” Jack Perry said he can bring four: himself, The Young Bucks, and KENNY OMEGA! Jericho tells Ricochet that this is no longer what he designed, but it is a devil’s dance of destruction! Ricochet’s destruction!
Ricochet got what he wanted, now can he handle it? Bald. The first-ever SEVEN VS SEVEN Stadium Stampede, who will even survive?
Ricochet & The Demand respond.
They stand with Mark Davis of the Don Callis Family and Ricochet says we all know Jericho does a lot of talking out of his ass while The Demand gets things done. Just like Davis did when he defeated Jack for the AEW National Championship at Fairway to Hell. Hold it with pride, Davis, Ricochet knows you’ll do it well. Davis says he’s got this. Ricochet says Davis has joined the dream team, but he’s not the only one. Because compliments to Ricochet’s golfing buddy, Don Callis, look who else he’s sending: Andrade El Idolo! Gracias, amigo. But it doesn’t stop there, the train keeps rolling. Ricochet was just approached by two guys who have an ax to grind with the superkick sidekicks.
These two wanna fill out the last two spots, so who is Ricochet to say no to The Dogs? Finlay & Connors storm in, and Finlay says to put it simple, they will fight The Bucks in the streets, in the ring, but guess it’s fighting at Double or Nothing! If they want violence, if they want carnage, if they want chaos, who better than The Dogs?! The Dogs bark and Liona roars, but will these seven stand tall in the Big Apple?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey w/ Kevin Knight VS BK Westbrook!
JetSpeed has a lot of momentum on their side, and as stated last week at Fairway to Hell, they’re looking to grab up all the gold they can. Will Speedball keep on rolling towards his own golden opportunity? Or will #Supastud prove his own worth?
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two step up. Bailey bows in respect, offers a handshake, but Westbrook goes to roll Bailey up! Bailey stays on his feet, then steps over to sit down on a cover, TWO! Westbrook ducks a Penalty Kick, avoids the moonsault, and the sweep! Bailey dodges, Westbrook tiger feints through the ropes, but Bailey handsprings up and over! The fans fire up as Bailey ducks an elbow to whip. Westbrook goes up, around, but kinda fumbles his tumble. The fans cheer and jeer him for his attempt, but Westbrook blocks the boot! Westbrook FLIPS Bailey, springboards in, but Bailey dodges! TIME ADVENTURE!
Bailey pushes Westbrook down, goes up the corner, and the fans fire up for the ULTIMATE WEAPON! Cover, Bailey wins!
Winner: Mike Bailey, by pinfall
Another fast ‘n’ furious finish, and Bailey’s on a hot streak! But now, the other side of JetSpeed looks to keep it up! But just who is Kevin Knight defending the TNT Championship against? It’s… BRIAN CAGE!? The Machine finally returns to action, and he has the Don Callis Family with him! Will Cage be able to ground Knight and take this title back to the family?

AEW reveals the Men’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament Brackets!
This year’s tournaments will go through Double or Nothing, and the finals will coincide with Forbidden Door 2026 on Sunday, June 28th in San Jose, California! The winner of each tournament will then challenge for THE AEW World Championship and AEW Women’s World Championships on August 30th at All In: London! And so, for the opening round, it will be: “Jungle” Jack Perry VS Mark Davis; Claudio Castagnoli VS Brody King; then Double or Nothing has both Samoa Joe VS Will Ospreay, and Swerve Strickland VS Bandido!
“Jungle” Jack Perry speaks.
“Mark Davis… I’m sure you feel some congratulations are in order. But you’re not champion to me. You see, you’re built like an Australia grizzly bear, yet you still needed somebody to hit me in the back with a golf club for you to beat me. At Stadium Stampede, bring your friends, bring any weapon you want, and I will crack you over the skull with it. Because anything goes. But after that, it’s back to grass roots, because it is you and me, fighting for a shot at the world title at All In: London. And in the Owen Hart Tournament, I will prove to you beyond a shadow of a doubt that I’m a better wrestler than you. I am the FUTURE world champion!
“And if you don’t like that, F YOU!” Jungle Jack is sharpening his knife, but will his edge be razor sharp when it comes time to cut down Dunkzilla?
Will Ospreay VS Ace Austin!
We’ve seen the Aerial Assassin training with The Death Riders, he’s won gold with his old friends in The United Empire, and now he’s about to face a dangerous man at Double or Nothing. Will Ospreay be more than ready for Samoa Joe after tonight? Or will he fail to even get past The Inevitable?
The bell rings and the fans cheer Ospreay as he stares down with Ace. Ospreay offers a handshake, Ace accepts, and the fans cheer the sportsmanship. They circle, tie up, and Ospreay wrenches to wristlock. Ace rolls, handsprings, and wrenches, but Ospreay rolls, kips up, and wrenches back. Ospreay hammerlocks, Ace rolls to kip up and wrench to then armlock. Ospreay endures the grind, fights around, and he arm-drags Ace down. Ace endures, fights around, and rises up. Ace shoots through to waistlock but Ospreay switches. Ospreay hits the headlock takeover, Ace headscissors, but Ospreay kips free.
The fans cheer the standoff, and the two reset. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and go shoulder to shoulder in a Test of Strength. The fans rally as Ace pushes Ospreay back. Ace has Ospreay down for a knuckle lock cover, ONE as Ospreay gets his arm up. Ace pushes it down, cover, ONE as Ospreay gets the other arm up. Ace tries again, ONE as Ospreay bridges! Ace jumps up, but Ospreay holds the bridge! That training truly pays off! Ace jumps, Ospreay gets him for a MONKEY FLIP! The fans fire up as Ospreay then arm-drags! Ospreay wristlocks and he bends the fingers! Ospreay isolates the arm to then STOMP it!

Ace TAPS, Ospreay wins!!
Winner: Will Ospreay, by submission
That might’ve been Ospreay’s first win by submission ever! He signals that his neck is no longer a problem, and he shows Ace respect for that fight. Ace accepts the handshake again, and Ospreay is moving on towards Double or Nothing with a great amount of momentum. But wait! SAMOA JOE is here! He and The Opps walk out on stage, and with mic in hand, Joe says, “Ospreay, Ospreay… OSPREAY, OSPREAY!” Joe is clearly mocking the chants for Ospreay, and the fans give genuine chanting and even singing in return. Joe says he just wanted to make sure Ospreay was listening, because these past few weeks, it seemed like Ospreay had a hard time hearing him.
Despite Ospreay’s best efforts, fate has put them on a collision course in the opening round of the Owen Hart Cup. The fans like the sound of that! Joe say she is here for one reason and one reason alone. He wants to speak about choices and consequences. Ospreay could’ve made the right choice and get a bye in this tournament, because that is what Joe would do for one of his friends. But Ospreay chose poorly. He could’ve been with the team that would do nothing but support and enhance Ospreay, but he decided to be a lapdog for Moxley and the Death Riders. The fans boo, Ospreay says he’s not a Death Rider.
Joe says Ospreay has made his choice, and come Double or Nothing, Joe makes Ospreay suffer the consequences. But Joe leaves Ospreay in peace tonight, for he has his date with destiny. But unfortunately, Joe’s friends, Katsuyori Shibata & Anthony Bowens, still feel slighted, and he doesn’t put leashes on his friends. Shibata & Bowens storm down the ramp, Ospreay ready to fight them both if he has to. But then The Death Riders appear! Ospreay may not have officially joined the club, but the Death Riders aren’t going to let their investment go to waste! The Opps say they’re #NeverLacking, but that doesn’t seem to be the case now!
Shibata & Bowens back down while Moxley, Marina, Claudio, Yuta, Garcia & Pac all step up to support Ospreay. Joe says, “Soon. Soon.” The fans cheer the Death Riders, or at least Moxley, but Bowens promises Joe is gonna kill you, Ospreay! The dream match for Double or Nothing is on, but will the training with The Death Riders make Ospreay the new King of Harts?
BREAKING NEWS for next week!
If you liked last week’s THREE HOUR block of AEW, then you’ll love this next one! Portland, Maine, the last Wednesday before Double or Nothing, Dynamite & Collision are combining forces again! Three hours all on TBS and HBO Max, make sure your DVR is set accordingly!
Backstage interview with Don Callis & Konosuke Takeshita.
Renee is now with The Invisible Hand & The Alpha, saying tonight is a huge opportunity in the main event, Konosuke facing Darby Allin for THE AEW World Championship. Konosuke could be heading into Double or Nothing as a- Callis stops Renee there to say Konosuke will be heading into Double or Nothing as a DOUBLE champion! But then MJF steps in, apologizes for the interruption but says Renee’s doing a great job. The Scumbag tells Konosuke that while it’s been a minute since the two of them have talked, three years actually, back when MJF beat him… MJF has seen Konosuke develop into truly one of the best wrestlers in the world!
MJF believes that tonight, Konosuke beats Darby for the title, goes to DON to beat Okada, and MJF can’t think of a better match than Konosuke VS MJF Part 2 for the world title. How’s that sound? MJF offers a handshake, Konosuke shakes his hand, but in Japanese, Konosuke tells MJF that he’ll beat the crap out of him. Thankfully, MJF doesn’t know Japanese. Callis says that was a nice pep talk MJF just gave, and MJF says yes, he knows. That kid needs to win, okay? MJF can’t let Darby turn him into some disgusting, bald freak! No offense, Callis looks great. But look, there is only one foolproof way to know MJF won’t be put in that situation.
So if things get hairy… MJF hands over the Dynamite Diamond Ring! Callis smiles, and say she understands what to do with it. But then in steps Andrade. El Idolo takes off his hat to shake out his amazing head of hair, and smiles at MJF. MJF frowns and leaves. Callis says here’s the deal: Takeshita will bring the world title home to the Don Callis Family tonight! Andrade asks, “How you know?” Callis says aye dios mio, he seriously doesn’t know where Andrade learned English. Andrade says one way or another, the next time, that will be HIS title. Callis says yes, he knows, it’s all good. Callis is a man of many talents, but will his family be dripping with gold thanks to a diamond ring?
AEW now announces the Women’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament brackets!
Double or Nothing will see Willow Nightingale, the reigning Queen of Harts, take on Alex Windsor, while we will see Persephone VS Hazuki, Skye Blue vs Sareee, and Mina Shirakawa VS Athena! Champions from around the world are gathering for this tournament, but who will be headed to Forbidden Door, and then All In: London?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Renee Paquette is now with Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong, and Willow Nightingale. Renee commends Cassidy on his part in the 10 Man Tag victory. But it seems that there is even more business to attend to. Cassidy says yes, the team has a shot at THE AEW World Tag Team Championships. It doesn’t matter who it is, they’re getting their shot, but the thing is… They still haven’t decided on which two will be. Kyle says Cassidy & Roddy should go for the gold, but Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! Thank you.” Kyle says of course. But that’s cuz he’s got gold to chase for himself!
The same man that put Kyle on the shelf for months is the man that Kyle submitted twice, and will submit again. Jon Moxley, Continental Champion, when are we doing this? Willow says speaking of gold, she is still the TBS Champion. But she is also in the Owen Hart Cup. She won this tournament before, she’ll do it all over again, so that she can have all the gold for herself at All In: London. She knows she can, and she will! Then Conglomeration has it all in order? Cassidy says hold on, there’s something missing. They should do a Word of the Day. Why haven’t they done one in so long? Roddy shouts for “MAAARK~!” And yes, Mark Briscoe returns!
The Sussex County Chicken is all fired up, and he says the Word of the day is reunification! For Mark Briscoe is back with his boys and his girls, The Conglomeration! But he’ll put this plain and simple: Tommaso Ciampa! Next Wednesday, Briscoe’s after your ass, son! You hear him? But before that, Saturday Night Collision is in HIS hometown, Salisbury, Maryland! That’s just 4.4 miles from where Briscoe originated on this earth! They’re gonna conglomerate and it’s gonna be a a hell of a time! Are you ready!? Willow and Kyle are fired up, Briscoe goes wild, and the team heads out. Cassidy admits, that was a lot of yelling.
But while The Conglomeration is ready to go Double or Nothing, will they soon have even more gold in the collection? Or are these high and lofty a little too much even for them?
Six Woman Tag: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds VS The Triangle of Madness!
With the news of both the AEW Women’s World Championship Fatal 4 Way for Double or Nothing, and the Owen Hart Cup brackets, this trios match is about much more than just settling scores! Will the Shining Samurai be just as sharp as Jamie Hayter going into that title match? Or will Thekla, Skye Blue & Julia Hart continue to bring them down by any means necessary?
The trios sort out and Jamie steps up against Thekla as both a rematch from their 1v1 title match, and a preview of what’s to come in the next. They circle, but then Skye CLOBBERS Jamie! Julia steps in, but so do Shida and Windsor! The Triangle throws hands on Shida & The Birds, then triple whip. But all three reverse, a BOOT for Thekla, a DDT for Skye, and a BACKBREAKER for Julia! The fans cheer as The Triangle bails out! Shida goes out to keep after Skye while Windsor goes after Julia. Jamie gets Thekla back in the ring while Shida and Windsor have the Sisters of Sin in the corners of the barriers. The fans cheer as they all rain down fists!
Windsor, Jamie & Shida all go to nine, then wind up for TEN! The fans cheer again while Thekla sputters. Jamie snap suplexes, but Skye ROCKS Shida! Jamie stomps Thekla, Windsor SLAMS Julia off barriers, and Jamie stomps a mudhole in the corner. The ref counts, Jamie lets off, but Skye and Windsor meet while tightrope walking the barriers! Skye and Windsor trade shots, they wobble a bit, then Skye DECKS Windsor! Skye keeps from falling into the crowd, but Jamie gets her! Windsor joins in and the Birds double gorilla press, SNAKE EYES off the apron! The fans fire up, but Thekla is up top! SUPER CROSSBODY onto The Birds!
The fans fire up again and Thekla is feeling it while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Thekla stomps Windsor, CLUBS Jamie, then helps Skye. But Shida runs up, only for Thekla to ELBOW her down! The Triangle has control again, they ROCK Jamie and Shida and Windsor, then send them all to the desk. The Triangle CHOP again and again and again! Then they wind up, but feint chops to SMACK all three off the apron! The Triangle soaks up the cheers and jeers before putting Jamie back in the ring. Thekla brings Jamie up, snapmares her down, then basement SUPERKICKS! Cocky cover, TWO! Thekla drags Jamie to the corner, tags Julia, and Julia runs up to LARIAT! Then she goes side to side to ELBOW Jamie down!
Julia snapmares Jamie to a cover, TWO! Julia is annoyed but she rains down fists. The ref reprimands, Julia stops, but then she sucker punches Windsor! And Shida, too! Julia then drags Jamie over, bumps her off buckles, and tags in Skye. Skye stomps Jamie around, then digs her boot in! The ref counts, Skye stops at 4, then she brings Jamie up. Jamie fires forearms and CHOPS, but Skye THROWS Jamie down by her hair! The ref reprimands again but Skye rains down forearms. Skye snapmares Jamie, mule kicks her, then covers, TWO! Skye frowns but she stomps Jamie down. Skye tags Julia while Dynamite returns to single picture.
Skye whips Jamie into Julia’s grasp, and Skye BLASTS Shida & Windsor while Julia tags Thekla. Julia has Jamie in the TARANTULA, and Skye sends Windsor in for Thekla’s HANGING HEADSCISSORS! Skye runs up to DOUBLE SHOTGUN The Birds! The fans are torn but Thekla says that’s how the Triangle does it, baby! Thekla then aims to MISSILE- NO, Jamie gest under! Thekla lands out, but Jamie BOOTS her down! Jamie looks at Shida, Shida is hesitant, but Shida tags in! The fans cheer as Shida sends Theknla to the corner, then JUMP KNEES! Shida keeps moving, she BLASTS Skye! Julia ROCKS Shida back!
Julia storms in but Shida kicks her and whips her into Thekla! Shida KNEES them both in the corner! Then Shida puts Thekla sideways in the corner, reels Julia in, and she snap suplexes Julia into Thekla! The fans fire up as Shida then suplexes Thekla high and hard! Cover, TWO! Shida stands Thekla up, Thekla swings but Shida ROCKS her first! And ROCKS her again! Thekla wobbles, swings, but Shida catches Thekla for another forearm! Shida runs the ropes but Thekla mule kicks! Thekla SMACKS Shida, then she dodges a boot to DECK Shida! Thekla talks trash on Shida, then drags her up to tag in Julia.
Julia tags Skye, then tag back to Thekla. The Sisters of Sin hit the DOUBLE GOURD BUSTER and DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Thekla hits the bridge, and she aims for the SPIDER SPEAR! Cover, but The Birds CLOBBER The Sisters of Sin onto it! The fans fire up a Windsor DECKS Skye and Jamie HEADBUTTS Julia! The Birds drag Shida to safety, Windsor tags in, and she CLOBBERS Thekla! Windsor CLUBS away, then fires the fans up. Jamie steps in, BOOT RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP COMBO! Basement LARIAT! And then Windsor lifts! Jamie runs up, but Skye trips Jamie! The fans boo but Skye sends Jamie into steel steps!
Thekla sends Windsor into buckles! Tag to Julia before Shida runs up, TAMASHII KNEE on Thekla! Skye SUPERKICKS Shida! Jamie is back to clinch and HAYTBREAKER! Julia runs up, slips around, SOLE FOOD! Julia kips up, but Windsor is there to whip Julia to ropes! Skye tags in before the SPINEBUSTER! Skye SUPERKICKS Windsor, then brings her up! Skye hops on, CODE- NO, Windsor pops free! Skye SUPERKICKS again, but Windsor HEADBUTTS! The fans fire up as Jamie joins in again, and they DOUBLE LARIAT SANDWICH! Then they set Skye up, and Jamie says let’s try this again!
Jamie runs the ropes, but Thekla slides in, BELT SHOT on Jamie!! No question that the ref saw that! The Triangle is disqualified!
Winners: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds, by disqualification
The Toxic Spider doesn’t care about this win, she just wants to do damage! Skye gets Windsor in a DRAGON SLEEPER! The ref stops Thekla from sing the title belt again, so Thekla just takes off her own belt! And she LASHES Windsor while Skye holds her down! More refs rush out here, but Julia MISTS the newbie in the face! Julia stomps away on Jamie, not caring about fines or consequences, either! The fans boo, and Shida is bailing on the Birds? Shida cares more about her chances in that Fatal 4 Way than anything else. But then Willow, Mina, and even Thunder Rosa rush out here! They chase The Triangle off with belts of their own!
The fans cheer as The Babe, the Fighting Gravure Idol & La Mera Mera save the day. But will Jamie make sure Thekla and Shida pay for this at Double or Nothing?
AEW World Championship: Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita!
They say “card subject to change,” and that is true even for the best in the world. Kazuchika Okada’s real family takes priority, but his Don Callis Family brother was more than happy to step up for this opportunity. Will The Alpha already have two belts by the time he and The Rainmaker battle over the International Championship? Or will Darby truly be relentless in his pursuit of being the best fighting champion in AEW history?
The introductions are made, THE belt is raised, and we see who goes to Double or Nothing on top!
Callis joins commentary to say that while Darby’s been breaking his own body, Konosuke has perfected “rejuvenation training,” aka relaxing on a beach and sipping sake! The bell rings, and Darby SHOTGUNS Konosuke out! Then Darby DIVES, but Konosuke catches him! Konosuke POSTS Darby, then THROWS him into railing! Konosuke THROWS Darby into the ring, the fans fire up for both guys, and Konosuke hurries to BOOT Darby off the apron! Darby falls in front of commentary but Konosuke gets him right back in the ring. Cover, ONE!! The fans rally as Darby shows his grit, but Konosuke snarls.
Konosuke drags Darby up, Darby fires forearms, but the ALPHA ELBOW knocks Darby down! The fans fire up while Konosuke looms over Darby. Konosuke stands Darby up, and THROWS him into a corner! Darby bounces off the buckles and is bleeding from the mouth already! Konosuke stands Darby up, hoists him up top, then he climbs up after him. But Darby BITES Konosuke, CLUBS him down, and leaps for a CROSSBODY, but he bounces off Konosuke! The fans fire up again as Konosuke whips Darby for a BACKDROP! Darby got serious hangtime there, and he flounders out of the ring. Darby coughs and sputters but the fans rally up.
Konosuke goes out after Darby but Darby SMACKS him! Konosuke KNEES low, KNEES him again and again and again! Konosuke KNEES Darby against the barriers, then refreshes the count. Konosuke whips Darby hard into railing! Darby sputters as he leans against the railing, but Konosuke positions the steel steps. Konosuke then fetches Darby, lines up a shot, but Darby fights the suplex! Darby CLAWS Konosuke’s back, then fires a shot. Konosuke DECKS Darby in return! Darby slumps against the steps, Konosuke runs up, but Darby dodges! Konosuke’s knees hit the steps and he tumbles over! Darby then runs up the steps to SHOTGUN Konosuke down!
The fans fire up while both men are down on the floor! Konosuke checks his knee before he crawls around, and Darby gets in the ring so he can build speed! Darby DIVES! Direct hit on Konosuke but Darby’s the one who hits the desk! The fans fire up while both men are down again, but Darby rises up to get Konosuke on the apron! Darby fires forearms, then goes up a corner! COFFIN- NO, Konosuke catches him for a SUPER BLUE THUNDER BOMB to the floor!! The fans go nuts again and Callis says that’s the end of Darby Allin, but Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref hurries to check Darby but Callis tells Doc Sampson to call it. Darby is somehow still in this, so Konosuke storms his way over. Konosuke drags Darby up, puts him in the ring, then paces around him. Konosuke runs the ropes to LARIAT! Darby flips inside-out, Konosuke covers him, TWO!! Darby still has fight inside but he’s also dazed. Konosuke clamps onto Darby with a chinlock and squeezes tight. Darby endures, even as Konosuke leans on him with his much-taller frame. Darby reaches out, fights around, and rises up, only for Konosuke to CANADIAN RACK BOMB! Darby sputters all over again while Dynamite returns to single picture.
Konosuke sits back as he watches Darby crawl to the apron. Konosuke storms his way over, but Darby RAMS low! Slingshot sunset flip, but Konosuke rolls through! Only for Darby to kick the legs out! Darby catches Konosuke to a GUILLOTINE! Konosuke endures the squeeze, fights up to his feet, and he powers out to THROW Darby! Darby lands out, fires shots, and RAMS low! Darby then hops on, but Konosuke stops Code Red! Konosuke swings Darby around, tucks him in, BASTARD DRIVER! And WHEELBARROW GERMAN! The fans fire up and Callis says that’s true power! Darby sputters again and Konosuke vows to end this.
Konosuke runs corner to corner, HELLUVA KICK!! Then he hoists Darby up top, climbs up after him, and goes to the very top! The fans freak out already for the SUPER DUPER GERMAN SUPLEX!! Bridging cover, TWO!!! Callis is freaking out as much as the fans, and he protests the count! Konosuke is furious, but he aims for the WAGAMAMA KNEE!!! Cover, TWO?!?! Darby survives by nanoseconds, and Konosuke is beside himself! “This is Awesome!” but now CLØN rushes out here! He distracts the ref, and Callis hurries to take the Dynamite Diamond Ring off his finger to put it in Konosuke’s hands! Konosuke thinks about it, but The Alpha has honor!
The fans cheer as Konosuke wants to do this his way! But then Darby runs up, cradles, TWO!! Konosuke escapes, ALPHA ELBOW!! Darby is down, dazed, but still moving! Konosuke drags Darby up again, goes back to the corner and back to the top rope. The fans hope these two “FIGHT FOREVER!” but it has to end somehow! Darby fights against the lift with headlock punches! Then he hops on, SUPER CODE RED!! Konosuke staggers up, Darby leg scissors, steps through, LAST SUPPER!! TWO?!?! Konosuke escapes again, then bails out! So Darby just goes up top! SUPER COFFIN DROP!! Direct hit and both men are down again!
The fans are thunderous as Konosuke and Darby stir. A ring count climbs, Callis complains that some people just gotta follow directions and run the play! Coach Callis pulled Konosuke outta obscurity, Konosuke would do anything! Now he’s got some gold, some fame, and gets a mind of his own! Callis complaining aside, the ring count is climbing! Darby drags himself in at 9, but Konosuke YANKS him back out! That refreshes the count, and Konosuke vows to end this for real now. Konosuke points to the steel steps, and he drags Darby up onto them with a deadlift RAGING- NO, Darby knees Konosuke, turns things around, and FULL METAL SCORPION DEATH DROP!!!
The fans go nuts again while Konosuke writhes! Konosuke flops off the steps, Darby crawls into the ring, and Darby just climbs the corner again! SUPER DUPER COFFIN DROP!!! Konosuke might be unconscious! Darby still hauls Konosuke into the ring, pushes him to a cover, TWO?!?!? Konosuke survives and Darby is furious! But Darby just reloads, COFFIN DROP but onto knees!!! Ghost pin, TWO!!! Darby escapes but the WAGAMAMA KNEE finds him!! Konosuke hauls Darby up, but Darby pops free! Trip, step through, and SCORPION DEATH LOCK!!! Konosuke endures, reaches out, but Darby sits deep!!
Callis says don’t even think about it! Konosuke almost does, but he bites his own thumb to ignore the pain in his back! Konosuke reaches out, crawls his way forward, and he fights to the ROPEBREAK!!! But Darby is right up top! COFFION DROP on the back!! Then Darby goes right back up, COFFIN DROP again!!! Cover, DARBY WINS!!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
Callis is steaming, but Darby overcomes Konosuke to avenge that loss in the Continental Classic! But it also took so much out of him just to do it! Darby still asks for a mic and one is brought to him. Darby sits up against the ropes, has them cut his music, and he tells MJF to get his ass out here! There’s a contract MJF needs to sign! The ring crew hurries to bring in a table and some chairs for that very contract signing, and MJF makes his entrance. MJF reluctantly makes his way down the ramp, and both men meet at the table. Darby grins with blood still in hiss teeth, and he signs his part of the contract without hesitation, unlike MJF.
The fans already chant “BALD! BALD! BALD!” at MJF, and Darby pushes the contract to his side of the table. MJF grabs the pen, reaches out, but then steps away. MJF scratches his chin as he thinks on this, and the fans just chant, “BALD! BALD! BALD!” again. MJF takes a mic to say he’ll explain something to Darby, looking like he has rabies. But see, MJF is happy for Darby, he hopes Darby’s had fun holding MJF’s AEW World Championship. The fans boo that, but MJF says deep down, there is a small part of him, like the size of a North Carolinian p*nis small. That small part of MJF feels bad for Darby, because he’ll never hold this again!
Darby’s got about a good a chance of holding this title as Hangman Adam Page does again. MJF says guys like Darby are a dime a dozen, here today and gone tomorrow, stuntmen who burn the candle at both ends. In this life, people like all these fans here like to pretend that life is about making friends and family and children. The only thing that matters in life is your legacy. And Darby’s legacy will be that of the kid who had his 15 minutes of fame. They’ll pretend like Darby made a lasting impact, but the fact of the matter is, he hasn’t. He hasn’t! They’ll know deep down that Darby Allin was just a little pr*ck who got lucky.
They’ll know that Darby was too reckless and stupid to stay on top. And after May 24th, Double or Nothing, in that sh*thole of Queens, New York, y’know what MJF’s legacy will be? He’ll go down as the guy who became a THREE-TIME World Champion at just 30 years of age, unprecedented in this sport. And MJF will go down, when it’s all said and done, as the Greatest of All Time! THAT is the difference between them! Darby Allin brags about climbing a mountaintop. But when it comes to professional wrestling, Maxwell Jacob Friedman IS the mountaintop! The fans boo but MJF soaks it up. Darby tells MJF to SHUT UP!
Only someone like MJF who is so vain would think that the number one most important thing in this world is his legacy. Darby doesn’t care about legacy, he cares about living in the moment! And in this moment, Darby just wants MJF to sign the contract. Then at Double or Nothing, Darby makes Maxwell Jacob Friedman a BALLD HEADED B*TCH!! MJF frowns but the fans cheer that! MJF grabs the pen again, and with no choice, he signs on the dotted line! Then he TACKLES Darby! The fans boo as MJF beats up Darby after the war he went through with Konosuke! MJF CHUCKS an armchair outta the ring, FLIPS the table, then picks up his Dynamite Diamond Ring.
MJF puts the ring on his finger like always, then winds up to DECK Darby!! The fans boo but MJF just soaks it all up. MJF throws off his jacket, picks up the belt, and he stands over Darby with it. But then MJF isn’t done with Darby, he puts Darby on the top rope! MJF climbs up to join him, and drags Darby into position! But wait! Kevin Knight runs out here to chase MJF off! The Jet still owes The Scumbag a receipt, but it seems we’ll all have to wait on that. Will MJF still take back the title at Double or Nothing? Or will Darby keep the belt and take MJF’s dignity?
My Thoughts:
An awesome episode for Dynamite as things heat up towards Double or Nothing. Awesome 10 Man Tag to open, great win for the Faces, not that it added much to FTR VS C&C. Good promo from Jericho to look back on Stadium Stampede and hype up this year’s match. Good promo from The Demand with Davis and The Dogs, and I suppose this maximizes the feuds as well as the alliances throughout the locker room. Who knows who wins but the match will still be awesome, just as the original was. Good promo from Conglomeration, too, Cassidy & Roddy going after FTR while Kyle VS Moxley happens on the side, that’s great stuff.
Speaking of Moxley, great promo from him and Ospreay. Moxley’s semi-turn has really brought out his sage philosophical side. Great match from Ospreay VS Ace, and while Ospreay could always bring out his aggression, seeing him use more technical wrestling and even winning with a submission is good stuff. Good promo from Joe, and I liked Death Riders backing Ospreay up. Very good Owen Hart Cup brackets this year, Joe VS Ospreay is a great choice given this story, but I would think Ospreay wins that one. Good promo from Jack Perry to call out Davis, and I suppose Jack can win in the Owen Cup to then move on from the National title.
Great seeing Brian Cage back, he gave Knight an awesome match, but with JetSpeed wanting to go on a Two Man Power Trip, it makes sense Kevin won out. Same for Bailey beating Westbrook, even though Westbrook maybe went too hard on his own acrobatic escape. Great stuff in the Six Woman Tag, and I appreciate Shida didn’t ditch until after the match. Willow, Mina & Rosa might get their own Six Woman Tag with Triangle of Madness after that interaction, but also can’t wait to see if Willow can go back-to-back as Queen of Harts. For that matter, I personally would love to see Athena use the Owen Cup to move on from being ROH Women’s World Champion, but that depends on how Supercard of Honor goes this Friday.
And of course, another wild instant classic from Darby as he overcomes Takeshita. I knew the diamond ring would come into play with that reverse effect, good way of protecting Takeshita in the loss. Good stuff with MJF tonight, too, such as the opening segment’s parade of bald men to send the message to MJF. That was also a unique contract signing segment in that it came together so quickly after the main event match. Good stuff from MJF as always, and of course he attacks Darby. I feel like either Knight should not have made the save, or both parts of JetSpeed should’ve made the save. It just seems odd that only Knight cared about saving Darby. The closing moment was much better when it was MJF standing over Darby with the belt.
My Score: 9/10

Winner: Mark Davis, by pinfall (NEW AEW National Champion)
Talk about a handicap! Callis AND Ricochet gave Davis quite a considerable one, and now Davis has his first singles title in AEW! The Jurassic Express National Tour has just been run off the road, but will Jack be able to get his revenge?
Collision returns, and Jack Perry is on the phone.
He tells someone, “Let’s do it. Thank you, guys.” Jack ends his call, then shows his frustration. Winning the National Championship in his hometown, in front of his friends and family, was one of the proudest moments of his entire life. And yet Ricochet and Callis had to end that for him. But he happens to know that Chris Jericho & The Hurt Syndicate are looking for two more partners for Stadium Stampede. And Jack go to thinking, the show is called Double or Nothing. So how about instead of two, Jack brings FOUR! The ELITE! Jack, The Bucks, and KENNY OMEGA! See you there. Ricochet may have just messed himself over, will he regret ever getting involved tonight?
Backstage interview with Don Callis, Mark Davis and Ricochet.
Renee Paquette is with the Jackal, Dunkzilla and the Bald Eagle as she says she was going to congratulate Davis on the title win, but after Jack putting out that news, what is their reaction? Callis says he’s thrilled! Jack just gifted him his ultimate fantasy! A chance to beat up Jericho, The Bucks AND Kenny, all on one night? Callis would’ve paid good money for that, and Jack, you dumbass, just gave it away from free! Ricochet says The Don Callis Family must be joining The Demand for Stadium Stampede. Well, given the way Ricochet just used that golf club, the National Champion will gladly stand beside him!
Ricochet says playing golf with Tony Khan has really improved his swing, so see you all there. Callis says yes, let’s go have a drink at the 19th Hole and talk about which of the many members of the Don Callis Family are going to join Ricochet in the slaughterhouse! Ricochet says oh yes, so many great choices to choose from! Callis & Ricochet head out, just how massive will this Stadium Stampede match get?
AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator: The Divine Dominion VS Ruthie Slay & Rachel Ley!
Megan Bayne & Lena Kross are so dominant, they don’t even think this match is going to last five minutes! But while there’s a time limit, will there be no limit to how devastating the Megasus & Aussie Amazon can be? Or will Slay & Ley manage to survive the day?
The teams sort out, Lena starts against Slay, and the clock is ticking! Slay DROPKICKS, but Lena doesn’t budge! Ley ENZIGIRIS, but Lena still doesn’t flinch! Ley & Slay double kick, but Lena blocks the double whip! Lena whips them, ELBOWS Slay and SPIN-OUT SIDEWALK SLAMS Ley! Then she scoops Slay to SLAM her onto Ley! Lena drags Ley up, whips her to the corner, then runs up to LARIAT! And ELBOW! Tag to Megan and the Divine Dominion run side to side! BOOT from Lena, BOOT from Megan! Then GERMAN SUPLEX! Ley tumbles, the fans cheer, and Megan tags Lena back in. Lena storms up on Ley to GERMAN SUPLEX again!
The fans cheer as Lena tags Megan back in. We’ve hit 90 seconds, but it feels like forever for Ley as Megan GERMAN SUPLEXES again! Megan kips up, then she stalks Ley. Megan eggs Ley on, slaps her around, then drags her up. Megan fireman’s carries, but Slay manages to tag in! Slay runs up, but Megan scoops her! FALL AWAY SLAM SAMOAN DROP COMBO! They’ve made it two minutes but that might be all! Tag to Lena, she and Megan get Slay up, DIVINE INTERVENTION! Cover, Divine Dominion wins!
Winners: The Divine Dominion, by pinfall (denies Slay & Ley a title opportunity)
Two minutes and 15 seconds is all Slay & Ley got, will any team last even that long? Or will the Divine Dominion continue to dominate AEW until the end of time?
BREAKING NEWS for Double or Nothing!
The Triangle of Madness may have misted Persephone and injured Alex Windsor, but that only heaps on more trouble for the champion! Thekla must now defend her AEW Women’s World Championship in a FATAL 4 WAY! Thekla VS Jamie Hayter VS Kris Statlander VS Hikaru Shida, is The Toxic Spider about to get squashed? Or will she need her Sisters of Sin now more than ever?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
The annual tradition is back! The 2026 Owen Hart Memorial Tournament begins, with the brackets for both men’s and women’s divisions to be announced on Wednesday! Who makes the cut? And who will become the King & Queen of Harts?
Don Callis speaks, again.
“Just moments away from the AEW World title match between Darby Allin and Pac, and gentlemen, just wanted to let you know that the Don Callis Family, no matter who wins tonight, the Don Callis Family will be waiting for the winner. This Wednesday on Dynamite, the Don Callis Family will take the AEW World title from one of you. And y’know, it’s already been a great night, a big night, for the Don Callis Family! We won gold, but can’t wait to get some more. And on the subject of that, Okada has had to go to Japan to take care of some very important family business. But don’t worry, lads, because I have someone in mind to take his spot this Wednesday in the world title match.
“And it is none other than the firstborn of the Don Callis Family, Konosuke Takeshita, The Alpha!” Takeshita steps in, and Callis tells him, “You’re gonna be the world champion! If you listen to me like you always have, you will be successful, and you will finally fulfill the destiny that I had for you when I plucked you out of obscurity and made you the replacement for Kenny Omega. You’re the best wrestler in the world when you’ve got my game plan in your head. Go win the title.” Konosuke tells Don that he was going to take the International Championship, but now he is the person who will bring the world title back to the Don Callis Family! Unlike Okada.
Takeshita heads out, will he still make himself a double champion when he adds #PrettyPlatinum to the NJPW World Television Championship?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey w/ Kevin Knight VS Kiran Grey!
This match was on standby in case the Divine Dominion didn’t need all five minutes of their time, and now it’s a chance for Speedball to shine! But will he keep his momentum going from last Wednesday’s super show? Or will he get lost in the Grey Area?

Winner: “Speedball” Mike Bailey, by pinfall
A fast win for Speedball, and Knight gets the mic. he says he likes that! Speedball is red hot right now. And though The Jet didn’t get two belts on Wednesday, he’s still the Face of TNT. Now, the future of AEW is wide open, so why not they make it to the top together? They shake hands on it, will JetSpeed shift gears to become a Two Man Power Trip? What belt(s) will they aim for next?
AEW World Championship No Count Outs Match: Darby Allin VS PAC!
Anticipating how wild this one can get given the nature of their grudge, AEW decided to remove some of the obstacles standing in their way. They can’t do anything they want, but they can definitely go anywhere they want here in the SoFi Center! But will Darby even up the career series between them? Or will it be 3-1 in favor of The Bastard?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who takes this belt to Dynamite!
The bell rings and the fans rally behind Darby. Darby hops outside already, and he goes around the crowd to be on the golfing green! This is No Count Outs, so he wants to take full advantage of it already! He dares Pac to join him, so Pac heads over to the green! They fire hands on the rough and the fans fire up! Darby ducks, fires hands then HEADBUTTS Pac down! Darby brings Pac up but Pac BACKDROPS Darby! Pac then brings Darby closer to the bunker! Pac suplexes, Darby fights free, and he fires hands! Darby runs up, CODE RED into the sand trap! The fans go nuts seeing what is surely the first one of those ever!
Pac gets himself out of the sand and ends up on the fairway. Darby pursues, runs up, and ROCKS Pac1 they’re near another sand trap, and Darby SHOTGUNS Pac into the sand! The fans cheer “A E DUB! A E DUB!” for making this madness a reality! Darby goes after Pac, but Pac throws sand in Darby’s eyes! Pac then hauls Darby up to BELLY2BELLY SUPLEX Darby into the sand trap! Darby sputters, but Pac clamps on the BRUTALIZER! The ref reprimands, this isn’t Falls Count Anywhere! But fans know “This is Awesome!” as Pac makes Darby suffer! Darby sputters again as Pac lets him go, then shakes out the sand in his boots.
Pac drags Darby up with a headlock, but then decides to fireman’s carry! And gorilla press to THROW Darby back into the bunker! The fans boo but Pac soaks up that heat. Darby sputters and coughs while Collision goes picture in picture.
Darby sputters as he sits up, but Pac brings him back around. Pac brings Darby around, dumps him down, and soaks up more heat. Pac then brings Darby along the fairway, CLUBS him on the neck, and stalks him as they return to the crowd. They then return to ringside, then the ring itself, and Pac covers, TWO! Darby toughs it out, but Pac stalks him to the corner. Pac uncovers a crossbar before he stands Darby up. Fairway to Hell returns to single picture as Pac tiles the tag rope to Darby’s chain necklace! Darby can’t get free before Pac BOOTS him! The ref reprimands, but Darby SPITS at Pac!

Pac then climbs up after Darby, hauls him up, and SUPER DUPER FALCON ARROWS! Cover, TWO!! Darby survives and the fans fire up again!
Pac frowns while Darby flounders out of the ring. The fans rally for Darby while Pac takes his time going to the outside. Pac looks under the ring, and he brings out a table! The fans cheer but the ref reprimands, this isn’t No Disqualifications! Pac still sets the table up nearby, making sure it lines up with the corner. Pac puts Darby on the table, then climbs up said corner. The fans freak out, anticipating what Pac is planning, and he steadies himself as he takes aim. Pac SUPER SHOOTING STARS but only gets table!! Darby avoids disaster, and Pac is somehow still in this after his crash landing! Darby puts Pac in, trips him, and steps through!
The fans fire up as Darby steps over, SCORPION DEATHLOCK!! Pac endures, reaches out, but Darby sits deep! Pac fights, claws, reaches out, and powers his way forward! ROPEBREAK! Darby lets Pac go, and Pac waves to the back. Well, of course The Death Riders are here! Darby spots Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia & Marina Shafir storming down the aisle, but then Pac CLOBBERS him! A distraction tactic is good enough as Pac now turns the proverbial tables. Then he signals for them to get something, and they bring out another table! The fans chant, “On The Green!” but Pac doesn’t care about that. He scoops Darby to go up the steel steps!
The fans boo as Pac tucks Darby in, TOMBSTONE on the steel steps! The fans go nuts as Darby flops to the floor! Wait, wait, wait, now The Death Riders have STACKED tables?! Pac smirks as he brings Darby back up, and he fireman’s carries Darby to bring him over. Darby goes to the backstage area while Collision goes picture in picture.

Pac brings Darby past the nice bar and lounge area, the ref and Death Riders making sure fans don’t get too close. Pac SMACKS Darby off another wall, then drags Darby through this VIP seating area to go to the balcony. Pac stomps Darby to keep him down, then drags him to the balcony railing! And lo and behold, those stacked tables are right there!
The ref reprimands and the fans are freaking out already, but Pac is looking to toss Darby! Darby clings to the railing but Pac CLUBS him. Pac then drags Darby up, but Darby fires body shots! Fairway to Hell returns to single picture as Darby fights desperately! Darby CLAWS Pac’s back, but Marina shouts at Darby! The ref keeps her back, but that lets Pac LOW BLOW Darby! The Problem continues to be just that, but also the insurance policy for the Death Riders! Pac stands Darby up, and THROWS him off!! Darby crashes down through the tables!!! The fans lose their minds all over again while Pac hurries to go back downstairs!
AEW medical staff is already checking Darby as he’s down in the wreckage, but Pac says screw that! He fireman’s carries Darby and puts him back in the ring! Pac covers, TWO!!! Darby survives and the fans are thunderous! Pac and The Death Riders are in shock! Pac falls back to a corner as he shakes his head. Pac argues with the ref, but 2.99 still isn’t 3! The fans rally for Darby, but Pac storms over to him. Pac looms over Darby, Yuta slides a chair into the ring, but the ref snatches it away! Only for Marina to slide the title belt in! Pac takes aim while Darby rises, but then Darby springs to life! Pac has seen a ghost, or maybe a zombie!
Pac winds up, but Darby LOW BLOWS! And BELT SHOTS!! Darby gets Pac in place, goes up top, COFFIN DROP!! Cover, DARBY WINS!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
Pac said it himself, Darby is the indestructible boy! But can Darby keep this up? Or will The Alpha come through on his promise and bring this title back to the Don Callis Family this Wednesday?
My Thoughts:
A great hour of AEW here as this special edition of Collision, though “Fairway to Hell” is such a random thing to begin with. They must’ve made a business deal with SoFi and TGL, which to me might be more AEW helping TGL get noticed on a national scale. And changing the status quo with the National Championship was quite the surprise, but that’s still great for Davis. Ricochet being the reason why, and then that compelling The Elite jumping into Stadium Stampede is a bit convoluted. I get they’re using continuity of how Kenny hates Callis and vice-versa, but it undercuts what I was hoping for in Hurt Syndicate getting to introduce new members. But hey, 7v7 is pretty wild, too.
I appreciate Divine Dominion adding something to their squash matches with that five minute goal. Slay & Ley already set a good time with over two minutes, and I’m sure two minutes will be the average as they just dominate all summer. And it seems Alex Windsor is gonna be out a little longer than expected, given that adjustment for Double or Nothing. A Fatal 4 Way is still good for how Thekla can use her challengers against each other, or be protected in a loss if they choose. It also helps bring in the Shidalander story, but it also feels like we’re skipping chapters. That Fatal 4 Way can probably get us to the team breaking up and Shida turning on Statlander for their own feud.
Bailey VS Grey probably was a legit standby match, that went quick. And Knight had a decent promo saying he and Bailey are still gonna be JetSpeed going for all the gold. Not sure if that comes true or just sets things up for the team to fall apart. And then a really wild main event with the “No Count Out” match. They probably could’ve just called that No Holds Barred but they wanted to add heat on how The Death Riders were cheating the second half of that match. Both table spots were risky, but obviously Darby did the crazier one. AEW really needs to be careful not to push it much further than that, though.
Then the news of Okada being out for Dynamite, hopefully it’s nothing too tragic with his family. But Takeshita as the substitute is a good choice, this helps build the Okada VS Takeshita match at the same time as building Darby up. Pretty sure MJF accepts the terms of Title VS Hair, and it’d be very MJF if he were to announce that while attacking Darby to close the show on Wednesday.
My Score: 8.8/10
