Konosuke flails, gets free and runs away! Fans boo but The Future survives for the present! Will the Cleaner, the Cowboy and Kota Ibushi make Konosuke pay for choosing Don Callis over them?
Backstage sit-down interview with MJF.
Renee Paquette sits with the AEW World Champion and thanks him for his time given how busy he is, so she’ll get right to it. This Sunday, AEW All In London, Wembley Stadium, over 80 THOUSAND fans. When he hears that number, what does that mean to him? It means he’ll be chubbed up! But let’s be honest, if there’s one thing MJF knows about himself is that he can’t get enough of fans chanting his name, “so Daddy’s trunks are gonna be awfully tight in London Town. Let’s face it, British people freakin’ love me, dude. I’m like the 2023 version of British Bulldog if he was Jewish and a good public speaker.”
MJF loves the crooked teeth Brits, too. So here is what he wants from the fans: when it is time for the main event, grab a pint, get pissed and cheer on your favorite chaff, so they can make this the loudest main event in the history of professional sports! Cheer for MJF like he’s the second coming of Winston Churchill, and he promises he will buy “every single one of you crazy hooligan alcoholics a pint.” Wait, really? No, Renee, are you nuts? He’s gonna make “that mark” Tony Khan pay for it. But we can edit this, right? Right… Sweet.
Alright, so as they said, Wembley Stadium, over 80 THOUSAND fans in London, MJF opens All In with the Zero Hour and the ROH World Tag Team Championships alongside Adam Cole, to then main event it with Adam Cole for the AEW World title. MJF grumbles that “that shmuck” got him to wrestle twice in one night, but he still loves Cole, he’s his best friend. Then how much pressure is MJF feeling going into Sunday? MJF says the old MJF would’ve BS’d this and said none, but the fact is, it is an immense amount of pressure, the most he’s felt his entire life. This is the biggest event in professional wrestling.
And none of this happens without not just his own talents, the support of the fans, but let’s also draw the attention to those who paved the road for pro-wrestling prior. MJF is about to be the biggest headliner in pro-wrestling and that’s insane. Think about those who came before: Hogan, Sammartino, Dusty Rhodes, John Cena, The Rock, Stone Cold, HHH, Taker, etcetera! And MJF is standing on the shoulders of giants. And on Sunday, August 27th, if he wins, he might become a giant himself. So a lot of pressure, but it is a pressure he is ready for.
There also seem to be some question marks around his friendship with Adam Cole, what it even is and the authenticity of it. Renee cues up footage that takes us back to June 14th, the time limit draw of their Title Eliminator Match. Cole wanted five more minutes, and MJF just stared him down as he said no. Then flash forward to July 19th, and the two of them hugging it out. Though MJF also had a frown on his face after. And then of course, just four weeks ago, Collision on July 29th, their loss to FTR and MJF wanting to hit Cole and Cole accepting it. Then just two weeks ago here on Dynamite, Cole getting on MJF’s case for how he treated Roderick Strong.
And just last week, MJF saying that the only thing that truly matters to him is the AEW World Championship. Renee says there are some glaring cracks and contradictions. What is his reaction to that? MJF’s reaction is that this is all new for him. It is vulnerable of him to even say that. He’s never had a genuine friend before, and that’s not making jokes or “work” anyone. That’s real. “Adam’s made me a better person in a really short amount of time. He taught me I can trust and that I can let my guard down. Frankly, Adam’s… Adam’s not just my friend, he’s my brother. And yeah, man, brothers fight. Brothers push each other. Brothers are competitive.
“But at the end of the day, brothers hug it out. And we always hug it out. And I understand why you guys would have reservations about trusting me. I’m far from perfect. Matter of fact, think about the worst thing you’ve ever done in your life. Okay, you just did. I’ve probably down that twice. However, I’ve been vulnerable for the first time in my life, and I guess what I’m asking you people to do is go on this journey with me. Be vulnerable with me, and I promise you, you will be rewarded. And that’s the first promise in my life that I intend to keep. Because I’m not just a scumbag, I’m your scumbag.”
Renee says this is such a monumental weekend for everyone in AEW, and she wishes him luck. MJF says he’s happy to do it with his best friend. What will Adam Cole have to say to all this? We hear from him in a sit-down interview later tonight.
Jon Moxley VS Rey Fenix w/ Alex Abrahantes!
For the first time ever, we will see a six-on-six Stadium Stampede match this Sunday! But the Blackpool Combat Club still needs to find three men to fight alongside them! Will the Maniac at least gain some momentum for his squad? Or will the Firebird show him the meaning of ANIMO?
Moxley finishes his entrance with AEW picture in picture. AEW returns to single picture as Fenix makes his entrance, Hyper Man Abrahantes by his side.

Moxley has the body scissors, though, Fenix can’t get away! Fenix is OUT, Moxley wins!
Winner: Jon Moxley, by submission
Moxley puts out Fenix’s fire, and the BCC has the momentum! And wait, the rest of the BCC rushes out! No more ringside ban now that the match is over, and Claudio uses the hook-end of a crowbar to drag Fenix up by his mask!! Yuta has his own crowbar, and fans boo as Yuta taunts Fenix with it. But here comes Eddie & Penta! WAIT! Who is standing in their way?! Is that ORTIZ?!?! Him and a madball sock!? And wait, SANTANA!? Santana is back, the Proud ‘n’ Powerful are reunited but against Eddie! Santana brawls with Penta, and then Ortiz CRACKS Eddie with the madball! Then he CRACKS Penta with it!!
And then Yuta CLOBBERS Fenix with the crowbar!! But wait, here come Best Friends! Cassidy’s hand is wrapped in a chain!! They chase off the BCC & PNP, but the damage has been done! The medics are called in to help Fenix after that headshot. If Fenix can’t compete at All In, will this just boil back down to a 5v5? And if so, will Eddie, Penta and their new amigos make the BCC pay in blood?
AEW returns as Fenix is loaded into an ambulance.
Penta and Alex ride with him, and Eddie is beside himself. The betrayal of his friends in Moxley, Ortiz and Santana is one thing, but for them to go this far to take out another friend in Fenix… Renee walks in and says Eddie tells her that her husband did this. She defends she’s not trying to be insensitive but Eddie refuses to talk to her on mic. What is this? She wants him to fix it? He’ll fix it at Wembley, just watch. What will The Mad King and his team do with one man down?
Backstage interview with Sammy Guevara.
Earlier today, Renee was with the Spanish God to ask him about last week, where Chris Jericho agreed to join The Don Callis Family, only for Callis to reject him and have Will Ospreay brutally beat Jericho down. Then Sammy was the one to save Jericho. Why? But in steps Matthew Menard, Angelo Parker and even Daniel Garcia. They ask him what he’s doing! They saw Jericho accept the offer, and the only reason things went south was because of that stupid painting! Daddy Magic says “Don Callis is exactly who we thought he was.” But Sammy counters that Jericho isn’t who they think he is!
Jericho is Sammy’s friend! They’ve been day once since Dynamite, and sure, there’ve been the ups and the downs, and Sammy doesn’t agree with everything Jericho does. But Jericho was blinded by friendship. Sometimes that happens. Jericho’s known Callis for over 30 years, and when your friends are in the wrong, that is when you need to be there for them even more. Sammy said he’d always have Jericho’s back and that’s what he was doing. Parker says okay, but understand that as Sammy’s friend, they don’t want him blinded by friendship the exact same way! Look at the trend here! It is always Sammy who is there for his friend.
But when it comes to Sammy needing a friend, is Jericho gonna be there for him? Something to think about. Menard & Parker leave, Garcia lingers a bit, then he leaves. Is there any chance the remnants of the Jericho Appreciation Society stay friends? Or will Sammy be the only one watching out for The Ocho?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He stands by a table, and with security, as we prepare for the contract signing of Jericho VS Ospreay for All In. So please welcome first, Will Ospreay! Fans cheer as the IWGP United Kingdom Champion (yes, Ospreay changed the name and nationality of the former IWGP United States Championship) is accompanied by Don Callis. The two go to the ring together, and Schiavone apologizes for omitting Callis in the introduction. Fans boo Callis now but Schiavone moves on to introduce Chris Jericho! Fans cheer and sing along with Judas, and Sammy is with Jericho! Le Sex Gods go to the ring and stand on the other side of the table.
Schiavone says this is all in order here. The contract is for this dream match at All In. Jericho with Sammy, and Ospreay with Callis, and extra security given the volatility of this situation. A pen for each man, if someone would like to sign first. Callis hands the pen to Ospreay then takes the mic for himself. Fans boo but Callis says, “Everybody wants to know why I did what I did last week, Chris. It’s real simple. The reason I did what I did can be summed up in four words: Will BAH GAWD Ospreay!” Callis realized the only thing better than having Jericho in the family is if he could play a part in ending the career of the Greatest Of All Time!
Fans tell Don to STFU but Callis ignores it to explain that he made an offer to Ospreay that no one else could. And you know what the deal was? It was Jericho’s head on a platter at Wembley! So yeah, Callis threw away 34 YEARS of friendship for money and power! He chose writing history rather than watching it, and he chose Ospreay over Jericho! “So Chris, it occurs to me on a serious note, if I can get serious here with you, that a couple of years ago, you nearly died in England. Well, Chris. This Sunday at Wembley, I’m gonna be in Will Ospreay’s corner to make sure that job gets done to you once and for all by Will Ospreay, may God guide his hand!”
Fans boo Callis’ violent vow and Ospreay takes the mic to tell them all to shut up so he can talk. “Oi, Chris, are you actually taking this match seriously? Or is this some type of vanity project to say that your band performed in Wembley Stadium? Bruv, do you understand what Wembley Stadium is? It is the BIGGEST venue in the entire of the UK! This match is gonna change my life, bruv! I’ve got a missus at home and a four-year-old stepson. Yeah, here’s some news for you guys! The day before I wrestle Chris Jericho, I’m doing an indie! Cuz I’m trying to get as much money together to put my kid through school! This match changes my life, bruv!
“After this- OI, SHUT UP! PIPE DOWN, BRUV! After this, after I beat you, in pro-wrestling’s biggest event, I get to be the only man to say I’ve beaten Kenny Omega, Kazuchika Okada and Chris Jericho in two months!” Fans cheer that fact, and Ospreay says that goes very well in six months time, because his contract comes up for NJPW. And who is not gonna pay millions and millions for Ospreay? Because he KNOWS he is the best wrestler int he world! He’s better than The Elite, than Danielson, than PUNK! And better than JERICHO! Fans were with him until then.
But Ospreay says all of Jericho’s lineage, championships and legacy, Ospreay respects it all. But all it is is fuel for Ospreay’s future! Ospreay signs his part and hands it over to Jericho. Jericho takes off his jacket and Sammy handles it. Jericho gets on the mic to talk about that future, and the present while they’re at it. Congrats on all the things Ospreay has accomplished these last few months. But Ospreay might not have accomplished all those things if not for Jericho.
Because five years ago, when the entire wrestling world and the pundits and the sheet writers and the Meltzers were saying that Ospreay was gonna be in a wheelchair before he was 30 years old, like his hero, the Dynamite Kid, because he was just so reckless, JERICHO called Ospreay! Jericho got Ospreay’s number, called him, and told him to tone it down. Because if he didn’t, he wouldn’t have the longevity of Jericho, nor would he become what Jericho knew he’d become before anyone else, which is one of the top stars in this business. Fans cheer that and Jericho says that Ospreay did listen, and here we are, Wembley Stadium, Jericho VS Ospreay.
And Ospreay didn’t have to attack from behind just to get this match. Jericho said before that this match was in the works for years! It was supposed to happen in 2021, at the Tokyo Dome, before the lockdown! But there’s no lockdowns now, and this is Wembley! This IS the biggest show in pro-wrestling history, which means it’s the biggest show of even Jericho’s career! Almost 33 YEARS, don’t tell Jericho this is a vanity project! This is bigger than any WrestleMania, Tokyo Dome or anything else! This match means more to Jericho than anything.
Ospreay is coming at this from the bottom, Jericho is coming at it from the top, with everyone trying to knock Jericho off and every hater social media d*pshit after him, trying to predict his demise! Fans fire up and Jericho says that he has to be the best Jericho he’s ever been to beat Ospreay. And in return, Ospreay has to be the best Ospreay he’s ever been to beat Jericho. Jericho sings his part, and tells Ospreay to prove it to Jericho, to his family! To his mother, his father, his missus and his stepson! Prove it to them in front of 80 THOUSAND that you can beat Jericho! And don’t make him regret the fact he called you five years ago, or regret that he kept Ospreay from being in a wheelchair,
Ospreay SLAPS the mic, so Jericho SLAPS Ospreay! Sammy and the security step in as the two want after each other! Schiavone gets out of the way before things get any wilder! Jericho and Ospreay are red hot, will they burn it down in Wembley?
Backstage sit-down interview with Adam Cole.
Renee thanks Cole as she did MJF for taking this time. “We are days away from AEW All In taking over Wembley Stadium, unbelievable.” So to get right to it, the relationship/friendship with MJF and all the time they’ve spent together. As with MJF, Renee cues up a highlight reel. There’s Cole wiping some of the cake off MJF’s face, them winning big in AEW Fight Forever, now with Stadium Stampede mode DLC. There’s them all drunk and fired up wanting to DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE a waiter, and then actually doing just that sober to the janitor. And of course, them hugging it out after tag team victory during the tournament.
Renee asks what all this makes him feel? Cole says it’s “so bizarre because never in a million years would you think a guy like Adam Cole and a guy like MJF would not only get along but become, seriously, best friends.” Cole thinks the world of MJF professionally, absolutely amazing wrestler, and they’ve clearly had a ton of fun together. But what Cole appreciates most is that Max helped Cold find himself again. Cole hasn’t really gone into this, but when he first came back from injury, his confidence was at an all time low. This friendship he’s formed with Max, it reminded Cole of who the real Adam Cole is, and he’ll be grateful forever for that.
Renee says talking about this weekend, so much going on, especially for MJF & Adam Cole. Cole could walk out as the new ROH World Tag Team Champions, as AEW World Champion, but as he touched on, for Cole to land in AEW and go through what he went through, fight his way back, that was a lot. What would it mean for Cole to become either of those champions, but namely the AEW World Champion? Well, when Cole got into pro-wrestling, he didn’t go in with the intention of being “a wrestler.” He wanted to be the best wrestler. He’s won world titles all over, but the AEW World Championship solidifies you as the best professional wrestler on the planet.
So as far as that world title match with MJF, that is everything. Cole doesn’t want to win, he needs to win, and he will. Then another thing to bring up is Roderick Strong & The Kingdom have been questioning who Cole is as a friend, and who he is with MJF. There’s another highlight reel here. Flashback to June 28th, Cole was about to leave with MJF and he hugged it out with Strong. Strong told him he can’t really trust MJF, and Cole said of course not, that guy’s a maniac! But Cole is just playing along right now. What if MJF watches this back? He’ll find Cole out! That’s when MJF walked in and made fun of Roddy as “generic White guy.”
There was also July 19th, where Cole and MJF made it through another round, and Cole picked up the world title for MJF, only to look at it longingly. Cole feels awkward now, seeing how it looked to MJF in that moment. And then there’s just a few weeks ago, August 2nd, when they were hugging it out again, only for the week after on August 9th, Cole gets mad at MJF for mocking Roddy more. And then just last week, after MJF & Cole ran off Aussie Open, Cole gearing up to Superkick MJF, only to pull back and hug it out. After watching that back, how does it make Cole feel to have people questioning Cole’s intentions?
Cole laughs and says he is done. He doesn’t understand how people find it so hard to process that two people can be friends. Is it that hard? Is it that hard? He says this one time and one time only: There are NO issues between him and Max, NONE. Thank you, bye. Did Cole seem defensive to anyone else? Will Cole really hope he’s right that MJF doesn’t watch these shows back?
Tornado Tag: Darby Allin & Nick Wayne VS Swerve Strickland & AR Fox w/ Prince Nana!
The Relentless One’s relentless schedule continues! Darby beat Christian Cage but got beat down by Luchasaurus, and that was after making it through the rest of the Mogul Embassy before that.

Fox brings Nick around, CLUBS him, then they go right up to where his mom is in the front row! Nick has a bloody nose and Fox says she’s gonna see this “all over again! ALL OVER AGAIN!” Fox DUMPS Nick over while she says this is going too far. Swerve DUMPS Darby over now, and they’re ringside again. Swerve snap suplexes Nick to the floor! Nick writhes, crawls, and Fox paces. Fox drags Nick up, Swerve puts Darby in the ring, and Fox stomps Nick in a corner. Swerve CHOPS Darby, Fox ROCKS Nick. They coordinate, double snapmare and roll, SHOTGUN for Darby and COMPLETE SHOT for Nick!
Darby falls out of the ring, Fox wheelbarrows Nick, but Nick BOOTS Swerve away! Nick goes up and up and DOUBLE- NO, Wayne’s World flies into a POWERBOMB NECKBREAKER!! Fans lose their mind over that combo and Swerve covers, DARBY BREAKS IT! Fans fire up as Darby saves this one, and then BOOTS Fox from a corner! THROWBACK STUNNER! Then Darby DIVES into Swerve and they hit the desk! Fans fire up and Darby stands Swerve up to RAM him into railing! Darby grabs a chair, drags Swerve over and makes him take a seat. Fans fire up, “This is Awesome!” as Darby fires hands!
But Fox goes up the corner, TIGER WALL SAULT! Fox puts Darby in the chair now, and Swerve KILL STOMPS Darby down!! And now they have Nick all alone. Nick has a bloody nose but he drags himself up to his feet. Fans fire up as Nick blocks one boot but not the other! Swerve takes Nick down, sends him into Fox, and Fox suplexes for ANARCHY! Cover, TWO!?!? Nick survives and fans fire up again! The Embassy can’t believe it, but they drag Nick up again. Suplex and clinch, ANARCHY FISHERMAN BUSTER!! Cover, TWO?!?!? Nick Wayne survives again! But he gets a HOUSE CALL for it! Cover, TWO?!?!?!
Nick Wayne will not die and the fans are loving it! But Swerve drags him up, whips him to a corner, and runs in with Fox, DOUBLE BOOTS! Nick falls over, Fox goes up top, 450 FLOP as Nick moves! Swerve is too busy celebrating prematurely, and Nick hooks Fox, O’CONNER BRIDGE! Darby drags Swerve out of the ring! Darby & Nick win!!
Winners: Darby Allin & Nick Wayne, by pinfall
Swerve & Fox are stunned! Darby & Nick snatch victory from the jaws of defeat! Swerve gets a mic and… he laughs? “This is so disappointing. This is so disappointing. And by disappointing, I mean you, Fox.” Fox can’t believe Swerve would say that. But Swerve asks why, whenever Fox gets the opportunity of a lifetime, HE BLOWS IT?! Nana blames Fox, too. Swerve says he has tried. Why is Fox such a loser? Little did Fox know, this was a test! This was all a test! Fox asks what he’s talking about, but Swerve says that Fox can’t beat an 18 year old child that Swerve swept the floor with! Nana, stop, let him talk!
Swerve says if Fox can’t even do that, he can’t trust him. If he can’t trust him in this match, he damn sure can’t trust him at Wembley in front of 80 thousand! Fox tells Swerve he can’t do him like this, it ain’t over yet. But Swerve tells Nana to do the light work. Nana says, “On behalf of the Mogul Embassy, AR Fox… YOU ARE FIRED!” Fox turns around and Brian Cage DISCUS LARIATS him!! And then drags him up to DRILL CLAW!! The Machine destroys Fox, but Darby, Nick and STIIIIING are here! They storm up and run the Embassy off! Fans fire up as the Relentless Icons are in full force!
Darby takes the mic up to tell Fox, “What’d I tell you? I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you. You changed my life, you took me in when I was homeless. And no matter what you did to me, I’m always gonna credit you for helping me make it here. Take my hand.” Fox does, and Darby stands Fox up. Darby says he loves Fox, and they hug it out. Darby has forgiven Fox, but he tells Swerve, “you’re stupider than I thought! 80 thousand people in London this Sunday, what’re you gonna do? Who do you got? Who do you got?!” Swerve grins, as does Nana. Out walks Christian Cage & Luchasaurus?!
Captain Charisma says, “You guys shouldn’t look so surprised. The true greats are always two steps ahead. Isn’t that right, Stinger? Darby, Sting, are you gonna introduce me to your little friend? I think I know who this guy is, I heard a lot about you, Nick Wayne. It’s nice to meet you in person, finally. In fact, I heard a lot about you, I heard about your story, and I understand that you have a father… and your father is dead.” Fans boo but Christian says he understands Nick’s dad was a pro-wrestler. Well, Christian never heard of Buddy Wayne before so he must not have been very good.
Fans boo but Christian says good news! Since Nick’s dad was such a talentless hack, he doesn’t have to live up to anything! And if Christian were Nick, he’d steer clear of Wembley this Sunday, because Christian would hate to give Nick deja vu as he watches a casket close on someone else he loves in his life! Fans boo as Christian goes to an all new low, and Christian tells Nick that if he plays his cards right, Christian will be there to mentor Nick when it’s all over. “Because we all know every fatherless child needs a true mentor, and there’s nob- KEEP IT DOWN WHILE I’M CONDUCTING BUSINESS! There’s no better mentor than the TNT Champion!”
Fans boo as hard as ever, but Captain Charisma has made a business arrangement with the Mogul Embassy. Will they bury the Relentless Icons now and forever? Or will Darby & Sting not just avenge AR Fox for what Swerve did to him, but avenge Nick Wayne for what Christian just said to him?
FTR and The Young Bucks have a sit-down interview.
Renee sits between the AEW World Tag Team Champions and their challengers for All In, just days away from the biggest show in AEW history, and that’s even before considering this is FTR VS Bucks, Part 3! Now before getting to that, it’s been two weeks in a row that FTR has come to the aid of The Bucks, what’s that about? The Bucks do thank them for that and say they owe FTR, but Dax says don’t thank them, it wasn’t for The Bucks. They’re not pals or anything like that. Cash says it’s so they can find out once and for all who is the better tag team, no excuses. The Bucks say that’s fair.
Renee then says each team has one win apiece, so the rubber match has been made. In front of 80 THOUSAND in Wembley, does this feel like the biggest match of their careers? Matt Jackson says when they did the original All In, “it seemed impossible to do ten thousand people in an arena, right? And now, here we are, eight times over, it’s unbelievable. Biggest match of our career? Understatement of the century.” Nick adds that he feels the Bucks are made men. They don’t need to win this match. FTR needs to beat The Bucks to make sure their legacies are solidified. And he feels strongly about that, too.
Dax chuckles and Cash won’t even acknowledge that comment. Cash just says this is the biggest match of their careers, on one of the biggest shows in pro-wrestling history. And going in as the champions against, arguably, their top competition as the best tag team of this generation, there is a lot on this one. Dax says yes, biggest match of his career, and business is good for AEW. But this goes beyond business. This is personal for them. Renee says Nick touched on it with talk of legacies, and FTR VS Bucks, “legacy” is said in the same sentence. But then, what is this truly about? Is it about who is the best? Is it about the titles?
Dax says it is about both. When you have the titles, you can claim to be the best team in the world. But at the same time, it goes beyond that because, as Dax said to the point of annoying himself, legacy. The only team between FTR and a true legacy is The Bucks. On Monday morning, Dax doesn’t wanna wake up and have to explain to his family that he lost. Matt says yes, we get it. Every week, it’s “This is how Ah feed mah family!” Matt just wants to remind them, as it seems a lot of people have forgotten, how do you feed the family? Dax wants Matt to lave them out of this, but Matt points out that the Bucks got FTR here!
And then back to legacy, every day with that word. But if you wanna talk legacy, he doesn’t wanna do this, it’s gotten awkward. But Matt says this is the truth: “One day, when this is all said and done and we decide to hang up our sneakers and we say, ‘That’s it,’ you wanna know what people will say about The Young Bucks? They’re gonna say, ‘The Young Bucks, let’s finally give ’em their damn flowers. That’s the best damn tag team that has ever competed in pro-wrestling.’ And do you know what they’re gonna say about you (FTR)? They’re not gonna whisper, they’re gonna say it. They’re gonna say, ‘And those guys, those are the guys that the Young Bucks named on their YouTube show.'”
Dax chuckles again, and says the Bucks had to jump on their name, insult their popularity, and that’s because the Bucks were trying to get on FTR’s level! “There ain’t no way you can be on FTR’s level, but here’s the thing: 80 thousand people, we will make you guys. You tell us every week, every time you get an opportunity or an interview, you are the foundation. We’re the foundation here now, and we will crack your foundation in front of 80 thousand people.” Matt says, “See you at Wembley.” Renee says yes, All In London, FTR VS Bucks for the titles. Who will walk out of Wembley as THE best tag team today?
AEW hears from the Women’s Championship contenders.
Toni Storm says, “All In is this Sunday. Before heading over to England, we have Rampage, and there’s going to be a tag team match of Saraya and myself against Shida and Britt Baker.” Britt herself adds that Friday on Rampage, she is taking AEW on a trip back to the DMD Era. Shida says we will all see on Rampage that she is unstoppable, because at All In, she will win and take all! Who will survive the Rampage on the way to Wembley Stadium?
Ruby Soho w/ The Outcasts VS Skye Blue!
Speaking of the Outcasts, Saraya is already in London promoting the show, and Toni Storm isn’t sticking around, but she trusts The Runaway has this in hand. Will Soho bring down the upstart Chicago Skye? Or will Skye simply rub it in that Ruby is the Outcasts stuck on the outside looking in on All In?
Skye poses on the ropes, and Soho DUMPS her out! Fans fire up as Soho goes to the apron, Skye blocks a kick and trips Soho! Soho lands hard on the apron, and Skye spins her around to KICK her in the face! Skye then brings Soho around to RAM her into railing! Fans fire up with Skye and she brings Soho back into the ring. The bell rings and Skye drags Soho up to full nelson. But Soho reaches back and claws at Skye’s face! Skye lets go, the ref reprimands, but Soho throws Skye down by her hair! Fans boo but Soho stalks Skye and stomps her down. Soho drags Skye up, bumps her off buckles, then stomps a mudhole in!
The ref counts, Soho lets off and soaks up the heat. Soho goes back to Skye, CHOKES her on ropes, and the ref counts. Soho lets off at 4, fans boo and Skye throws body shots! Soho eggs her on so Skye throws more shots, but Soho throws Skye down by her hair again! Soho has Skye in a corner, stands her up, and CHOPS her! Soho CHOPS again, and Skye staggers away to a corner. Fans rally for Skye, she throws forearms back but Soho SLAPS her! Skye keeps throwing shots, and she CHOPS back! And then fires off forearms! Skye backs Soho down but Soho claws her eyes again! Fans boo but Soho bumps Skye off buckles.
Soho taunts the fans as she walks corner to corner, then she runs back in at Skye! Skye dodges, Soho stops herself and elbows Skye. Soho goes up but Skye denies Nightshade to put Soho on the apron and ROUNDHOUSE! Soho staggers, Skye runs in and SHINING WIZARDS! Soho goes to the floor, Skye goes to the apron, and she runs in. Soho swings, Skye jumps the leg sweep, and then she mule kicks Soho! To then CROSSBODY to the floor! Fans fire up with Skye again as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Skye drags Soho up and puts her in the ring. Skye sneers and climbs the corner, but Soho wants the ref to check her face. He says it seems okay but she says there has to be something wrong. But she’s just using him as a shield so Skye can’t jump at her! Then Soho runs in to YANK Skye down! Soho covers, TWO! Soho is frustrated and she SMACKS Skye off the mat. Soho glares at fans then goes back to Skye. Soho CHOKES Skye on ropes again! The ref counts, Soho lets off and stalks Skye. Soho stands on Skye’s hand, then stomps it! Skye clutches the fingers, but Soho drags her up to DECK her with a foraerm!
Skye flounders to ropes, Soho storms up on her, and she drags Skye up to swing. Skye ducks and rolls Soho up! TWO, and Soho CLOBBERS Skye! Cover, TWO! Soho is frustrated and she drags Skye into a motorcycle stretch. Fans rally, Skye endures, and Skye fights up to arm-drag free! But Soho comes back to LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Soho just grows further frustrated and she bumps Skye off buckles. Soho kicks legs out, then goes side to side. Soho howls and runs in, but Skye dodges! Soho stops herself, runs at Skye but Skye dodges again! Soho tries again but Skye spins her to KNEE SMASH!
Soho blocks Skye’s kick but not the BASEMENT ROUNDHOUSE! Skye hurries to run in, another SHINING WIZARD as Dynamite returns to single picture! Skye keeps moving this time, to BOOT Soho down! Soho flounders to a corner as the fans fire up with Skye! Skye runs in again, but Soho puts her on the apron. Skye ROCKS Soho, climbs up top, and then Skye CROSSBODIES again! Cover, TWO! Soho is tougher than that but Skye drags her up. Full nelson and spin, but Soho wrenches out to clinch! Skye fights the saido with body shots, then runs, but Soho reels her in! Soho runs, but Skye catches her for a SWINGING NECKBREAKER!
Skye crawls for the cover, TWO, into ghost pin! TWO and Skye has the cover back, TWO as Soho sunset flips! TWO and Skye sits on Soho! TWO, high stack, TWO! Soho pops Skye back into position, TWO! Both women stand, Soho blocks a kick, ducks the basement roundhouse this time, but Skye HOOK KICKS! Skye reels Soho in, SKYE FALL!! Cover, TWO!?! Soho survives and Skye can’t believe it! Fans rally up, Skye runs, hops on, but Soho pops her off! Soho blocks a kick to KNEE back! Skye SUPERKICKS! Soho runs up, into a backslide! ONE, Soho wrenches to NO FUTURE!! Skye staggers around, into DESTINATION UNKNOWN!! Cover, Soho wins!
Winner: Ruby Soho, by pinfall
The Runaway is firing on all cylinders! She knows Storm and Saraya have their shot at the AEW Women’s World Championship, and she’s calling out Kris Statlander for the TBS Championship! Will Soho get to go all out against the Galaxy’s Greatest?
Backstage interview with Roderick Strong & The Kingdom.
Renee is with Roddy, still in a neck brace, as well as Matt Taven & Mike Bennett. She brings up the relationship of MJF & Adam Cole really striking a nerve with Roddy, he just seems so angry about it. What is it about Cole & MJF that Roddy knows that we don’t? Roddy seethes, but says, “This is what I know. At the end of the night, at All In, we’re gonna find out who the real MJF is, and we’re gonna find out who the real Adam Cole is.” Well, alright. The Savior of the Backbreaker seems confident in that, but will his prediction be undisputed?
The House of Black speaks.
Malakai Black says, “The definition of the world ‘funeral’ means ‘to observe a dead person before burial.’” The Samarians believed the afterlife was a dark, dreary cavern deep below the ground, where inhabitants continued a shadowy version of their lives on Earth. “Here lies Billy Gunn, a man of nothing, and a father of immorality and lies. Rest in pain.” The House has put Billy’s boots in the trash compactor! Will they get away with this disrespect?
Wait, The Acclaimed storm out to the ring!
No music or antics, Max Caster & Anthony Bowens are all business! Fans fire up and Bowens gets a mic. “NO MORE FUN AND GAMES! NO MORE FUN TIME WITH THE ACCLAIMED! We’re still standing! House of Black, get your asses to this ring right now!!” Fans fire up and Bowens says do the thing! Make the lights go out! They wanna fight! And so the lights DO go out, and fans fire up even more! The House of Black makes their entrance, storming right down to the ring. They surround the ring now, but The Acclaimed is all fired up! The House steps in and the brawl is on 3v2! Bowens gets mugged by Malakai & Brody while Buddy has Caster!
Julia watches on with a smile as the House stomps away on Bowens & Caster, then she steps in as it appears they have this handled. Malakai KICKS Bowens down! Fans hoot and bark as Brody wraps his fist with the chain and padlock from Collision! But wait, the Acclaimed music hits now? BECAUSE DADDY ASS IS BACK!! Billy Gunn storms down to the ring, and he gets the House to back off! Fans fire up as Billy stares daggers at them. Billy then checks on his boys and helps them up. Billy then picks up the mic to say, “Hold on just one second! You wanted my attention? Well, now you’ve got it!
“So let me try to explain to you kinda what you have done. You see, a couple weeks ago, after you beat me for the second time, I sat right there (in the corner), unlaced my boots, placed them right there (in the center of the ring), and I did the two hardest things I had to do in my life. One, walk out on Max & Anthony. Two, leave behind a really good career. And I was okay with that. But then last week, you jumped Max & Anthony. You busted Max open. You hurt one of my kids.
“But that wasn’t good enough. Then you took my boots and you destroyed them! You tried to tear down a legacy that has taken me 32 years to build! I’ve done stuff in this business that will go down in wrestling history.” Fans cheer that! Billy says he is a Hall of Famer, and the House just pissed all over that. “So for that, for that, one more time! It’s all or nothing! All In, Wembley Stadium, in front of 80 THOUSAND PEOPLE…! Look at my eyes. I take everything from you! Because at All In, it’s the House of Black against the Acclaimed and, well, unfortunately, that fun-loving Daddy Ass can’t make the trip.
“But there is a guy I thought we’d never see again. And I guarantee you’re gonna wish that you’d never seen him, either. Because there’s a BADASS coming to London, and his name is Billy Gunn!!” Fans are all fired up as it is titles VS career, one final battle to end it all! Will Billy’s resurrection be a golden one?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
The Fyter Fest continues right to All In Eve with an All In All-Star 8 Man Tag! Jay White, Luchasaurus, Brian Cage & Swerve Strickland join forces against Darby Allin, Sting, CM Punk and a mystery man! Who from the All In card will be willing to risk it all before the big night? And Samoa Joe will be watching on commentary, will he have more than just words for the “Real” AEW World Champion?
Well, that mystery man won’t be Orange Cassidy, he’s got a Six Man Tag match alongside Penta and Eddie Kingston taking on The Superbad Squad! Will we see that Freshly Squeezed and the Mad King also have #CEROMIEDO? Or will Kip Sabian, The Butcher & The Blade make their case for big opportunities? And Jack Perry STILL plans on retiring the FTW Championship, he just doesn’t have time for it tonight! Will someone, anyone, stop Hollywood Jack Perry from burying the rogue title alongside Jungle Boy?
ROH World Tag Team Championships: Aussie Open VS The Hardy Boyz!
MJF & Adam Cole made the challenge to Kyle Fletcher & Mark Davis for All In, but the champs have been more than willing to put these belts on the line since then. Are they taking the tag legends of Matt & Jeff Hardy too lightly? Or will they be the ones to DELETE DELETE DELETE?
Dynamite returns as Aussie Open make their entrances. The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who goes all in on Fyter Fest!
No Code of Honor nor teams sorting out, Aussie Open just attack The Hardys at the bell! Fans fire up and many boo as Fletcher stomps away on Matt while Davis CLUBS away on Jeff! Fletcher puts Matt in a corner and fires off hands, then throws him down as Davis goes to the opposite corner. Aussie Open aim, run in, but Matt dodges! Aussie Open stops short of hitting each other, and Matt ROCKS Davis! Jeff ROCKS Fletcher! The brawl is on again and fans fire up! The ref wants them to finally sort out, but the Hardys double whip Davis corner to corner. Matt sets up for Jeff, POETRY IN MOTION!
Fletcher kicks Matt, whips him to a corner but Matt reverses. Matt sets up again, Jeff hits Davis for good measure before he runs in, POETRY IN MOTION for Fletcher! Fans fire up and Matt clotheslines Davis up and out! Jeff clotheslines Fletcher up and out! Davis gets up, Matt DECKS him! Fletcher slides back in but both Hardys kick him low! The Hardys double whip, double ELBOW, then SENTON FIST DROP COMBO! Fans fire up with the Hardys, and then Matt & Jeff go outside after Aussie Open. Jeff CLUBS Fletcher while Matt SMACKS Davis off steel steps! Jeff CLOBBERS Fletcher against railing while Matt SMACKS Davis off the apron!
Jeff brings Fletcher around to RAM into more railing but Kyle kicks back, and Dynamite goes picture in picture. Matt POSTS Davis, and Jeff THROWS Fletcher into even more railing! Jeff then moves the steel steps around while Matt DECKS Davis. The ref reprimands, he wants this in the ring. Jeff runs to go up the steps, but Fletcher SUPERKICKS him out of the air! Davis turns things around on Matt, to APRON BACK SUPLEX! Davis storms around, he and Kyle coordinate, and they pick the Hardys up. They run in around the way, to SPINEBUSTER SANDWICH! Fans fire up as the Empire throws the crowns up.
Fletcher mocks Jeff Hardy’s famous dance moves before he and Davis regroup at the corner. Davis drags Matt up, and brings him around to take a seat in a corner of the railing. Davis then rains down fists on Matt’s head! Fletcher puts Jeff in the ring and we finally have some legal men. Fletcher stomps Jeff, drags him up, and bumps him off buckles. Fletcher taunts the fans before he ROCKS Jeff! Fletcher soaks up the heat then tags to Davis. Aussie Open stalks Jeff, drags him up, and double whip him to ropes. They DOUBLE CHOP Jeff , then set him up for the PENALTY KICK and SENTON! Kneeling cover, TWO!
Davis drags Jeff up again into a chinlock. Jeff endures and fans rally up as Matt returns to the Hardy corner. Jeff fights up, Dynamite returns to single picture, but Davis CLUBS Jeff down! Davis tags Fletcher back in, fans rally up, but Aussie Open bring Jeff away from Matt. Fletcher calls the shot, “DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE~!” to mock MJF & Cole. Aussie Open double whips, but Jeff ducks them! Fletcher runs in but into an elbow! Davis runs in but into a haymaker! Jeff goes up top to WHISPER IN THE WIND! He gets them both and fans fire up! Jeff crawls, Matt reaches out, hot tag! Matt rallies on Fletcher with LARIAT after LARIAT!
Matt whips, back drops and Fletcher lands hard! Matt brings Fletcher up to “DELETE! DELETE! DELETE!” off the buckles again and again! Davis runs in but Matt dodges to kick low! But no Twist as Davis fights it! So Matt shifts to a DDT! Fletcher runs in, into a SIDE EFFECT! Cover, TWO! Matt keeps his cool as he says he will go up! Matt hops up as promised, fires up and leaps, AX HANDLE! Fans fire up as Matt calls his shot! Fletcher is dazed, the fans join in on the “DELETE! DELETE!” Kick low but no Twist! Fletcher whips, Matt reverses but Fletcher ELBOWS back! Fletcher goes up but Matt ROCKS him!
Matt fires off haymakers, then he tags in Jeff. Fans rally, Matt and Jeff each climb! Matt has Fletcher, SUPERPLEX for the Power! Jeff SPLASHES for the Glory! Cover, Davis breaks it! Matt CLUBS away on Davis, then he and Jeff fire off in the corner. They hoist Davis up, go up after him, but Fletcher CLUBS the Hardys! Fletcher has Matt for a SUPER POWERBOMB! Davis tags in, he gets Jeff up! AUSSIE DENTAL PLAN!! It hit low, so that was more like an Aussie Heart Check-Up! Davis scoops again, Fletcher is back up, FLYING LAWN DART! Davis covers, Aussie Open wins!!
Winners: Aussie Open, by pinfall (still ROH World Tag Team Champions)
They didn’t even need their harder stuff, the Aussie Arrow & Dunkzilla took the Charismatic Enigma down all the same! Davis then gets the mics to shout “OI OI OI! Shut the hell up, Atlanta!” Fans boo, but Fletcher says, “Wembley Stadium, there will be NO Double Clothesline! There will be NO Kangaroo Kick! And Aussie Open will still be your Ring of Honor World Tag Team Champions, BAYBAY~!” Aussie Open throws up the crowns, but wait! Here comes MJF & Adam Cole! They fist bump and storm down to the ring in their matching Better Than You Baybay shirts! Aussie Open is ready, and the four stare down.
Fans fire up as Aussie Open holds up the tag titles. MJF and Cole smirk and go to leave, but Aussie Open won’t let them! So the brawl is on! They all fire fast hands and the fans are thunderous! MJF has Davis, Cole has Fletcher, but Aussie Open turns things around by digging at the eyes! Fletcher fires off hands, Davis stomps in a mudhole! Fans boo as Aussie Open storms around the ring. And Fletcher says “Double. Clothesline!” They aim at Cole but MJF jumps onto Davis for a SLEEPER! Cole BOOTS Fletcher down! Davis TOSSES MJF but Cole BOOTS him! Fans fire up as MJF & Cole regroup!
The new best buds shout “DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE!” They double whip Davis, but Davis holds ropes and bails out! Fletcher staggers up, so MJF & Cole reset! MJF wants to do it and the fans wanna see it! Cole wants to see it, too, but then Davis CLOBBERS MJF from the apron! No Kangaroo Kick, but Cole SUPERKICKS Davis! Fletcher runs in but MJF ELBOWS Fletcher down! Big save from the champ, and Cole wants to set Fletcher up! MJF holds Fletcher up, Cole takes aim, but then Fletcher ducks! MJF blocks the superkick in time!! Both of them just went through reviewing their friendship tonight, and now the two are staring down.
Fans chant to “HUG IT OUT! HUG IT OUT!” as the two are forehead to forehead. MJF takes a step back, picks up Triple B and raises it high. Cole offers a handshake, but MJF pushes past him! But then he thinks about it. MJF brings out the Dynamite Diamond Ring? And puts it on his finger?! Is he gonna do it? No, MJF changes his mind and puts it away. And then he HUGS Cole!! Fans cheer that the brochachos hold together! But is it only going to last four more days? Or will this friendship survive even the biggest main event at the biggest show in AEW history?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite here, though “Fyter Fest” gets hurt a bit by how this is the go-home to All In. And there was word that there’d have to be changes to All In, one understandable and the other confusing as all get out, so we got those right here in one night. The understandable one, though still a shame, is that Fenix could not be part of All In because of travel visa issues. But they had a good way of writing him off with The BCC sinking to new lows. Moxley VS Fenix put on an awesome match, Moxley wins, and then he and the others hospitalize Fenix for the week. And what an awesome way to bring Santana and Ortiz back! A shame they’re going down to 5v5 but this will still be great stuff for All In.
The change that was confusing and honestly, a little dumb, was AR Fox being kicked out of The Mogul Embassy. The tornado tag match was awesome stuff, as to be expected, but at the start, this felt like a really weird sampler for the All In tag team casket match. As such, I did NOT see Darby & Nick winning this one. I thought go-home math would dictate them losing so that Darby & Sting can win at All In. Darby forgiving Fox was still a nice detail, though I REALLY hope that doesn’t sour Nick Wayne into actually taking Christian Cage up on being a mentor. It’d make sense, but I don’t want it to happen, I want Nick to see things Darby’s way. That said, I now have a knot in my stomach of thinking that is exactly why Christian is the one taking Fox’s place in the match.
Speaking of All In samplers, that’s what The Elite VS Bullet Club Gold looked like on the surface, but at least this was a positive bait ‘n’ switch. The brawl between The Elite and BCG that then brought FTR out was good stuff, and they used it to feed into the sit-down interview together. Good stuff, and I can’t help but agree with Matt about Dax playing the “Ah feed mah wife ‘n’ baby girl with this” card too often. Though I’m torn on the “We named you on our YouTube show” jab. It’s not like they could use “The Revival” outside of WWE, and so they were turning an insult/joke into something positive. But uh, given certain things concerning Cash in real-life, I would like to think The Bucks win out at All In.
Good little promo video from Storm, Britt and Shida each saying a few things, but as I’ve said before, I feel like Saraya should be the one winning the Fatal 4 Way. It somehow works out that she didn’t say anything in that video, and will be back on-screen for Rampage to tag with Storm. Great match from Soho VS Skye, especially since it was without outside interference. Soho may want after Kris Statlander but Kris still has to sort things out with Mercedes Martinez, Diamante and maybe even Willow Nightingale. Maybe Ruby will be watching whatever match comes out of that and says she’s got next.
Awesome contract signing segment from Jericho and Ospreay with them more or less shooting from the hip. I definitely do remember about five years ago or so, everyone being worried about Ospreay’s neck because of all the just rough spots Ospreay was doing in NJPW against rivals like Kushida, Hiromu Takahashi and Marty Scurll. To think it was Jericho who called him on it and got him to stop. Ospreay VS Jericho is going to be wild stuff, no idea who wins it. Great segment from The Acclaimed and House of Black, and we’re getting as I expected in a final Trios Championship match between them. I’m sure “Badass” Billy Gunn will help them win it this time, it’d be a shame to bring him back just to lose again.
And even more awesome stuff from this story of MJF, Cole and the rest. Great interviews from Cole and MJF, and we got an awesome main event tag from Aussie Open VS Hardys. Of course Aussie Open wins, but I feel like Jeff got legit rocked by that kick from Kyle, so they just let the lawn dart finish this. Aussie Open and MJF & Cole had a very go-home interaction there, and I like that they again played on the dysfunction. I definitely feel like Cole is just one step away from turning on MJF. The fans are actually really liking MJFace, and Strong had a good promo that also alluded to things, namely his use of phrases like “the real Adam Cole.”
Cole can easily just choose Strong & The Kingdom for a sorta hybrid Undisputed Era Kingdom faction, where Taven & Bennett can still go for the ROH tag titles, with Adam Cole as the world champion and Strong getting a midcard title. Golden Prophecy, AEW style, with MJFace in the chase per old school wrestling tropes.
My Score: 8.9/10

Toni Storm is here!
Or rather, she’s still here given just last night, the TIMELESS AEW Women’s World Champion won a Fatal 4 Way Eliminator. And now she’s in the special box seat “balcony” with mic in hand. Detroit cheers and she blows kisses before saying, “So many men have taken a shot at me in here, I’m feeling like Abraham Lincoln. I will never forget my first. It was messy, it was sweaty, and painful. But I only wanted more. Once a month, once a week, twice a week, I was hooked. But then, it only became more risky. One at a time, then two at a time. And three at a time! Incorporating random objects, all the while being watched by perverts.”
The fans cheer being perverts but then Toni says, “One day, it will not end well for me. It will break my body and soil my soul. But in the end, I know it’s what I was born to do. And if you think I was referring to sexual intercourse, then get your minds out of the gutter!” Toni takes a moment before she continues, “Because the best bang could not compare to fighting for this!” She holds up the title and the fans cheer more! “I am not waiting for a Hayter or a CEO. So next week, line up the next batch of slop tarts, because baby wants to binge!” The fans also like the sound of that! Toni says spit on it and sit on it, and let’s get TIMELESS~!
The fans applaud and Toni takes a bow. Beach Break just got that much bigger, but who will take their shot at The Tramp that is The Champ?
Backstage interview with Paragon.
Lexy Nair is with Adam Cole, Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly to ask them about the 2 Out of 3 Falls last Saturday. Roddy says that to say they’re disappointed is an understatement. He and Kyle are one of the best teams on this planet, and they thought it’d be like riding a bike. But it has been a bit more difficult than they thought. Kyle agrees that they’re frustrated and disappointed, but what they aren’t doing is taking anything away from themselves. They’re the Paragon and they’re still one of the best tag teams out there. And any other day, any other time, 99 out of 100, Kyle & Roddy win that match.
Cole agrees, and he knows that was tough last week. But they are one of the best teams in the world. There will be plenty of chances to prove that this year. But in step the Grizzled Young Veterans and Zack Gibson says say that again. He can’t believe Paragon has the nerve to stand here sulking and complaining. Honestly, this three are three of the best ever. The problem is, they’ve gone soft! They’ve forgotten what it is to fight for their sport. So any time they’re ready, GYV will remind them what that’s like. Kyle & Roddy say why not. GYV will be the first time that gets stomped on Paragon’s way back to the top!
GYV laugh that off then take their leave. But when and where will Liverpool’s Number One & Mr. Mayhem take on the Savior of the Backbreaker & the Violent Artist?
Ricochet VS Angelico w/ Serpentico!
The One & Only just got a big win last night alongside the Young Bucks, but now he looks to get a win on his own. Will Ricochet make Detroit #OuttaThisWorld two nights in a row? Or will tonight belong to Spanish Announce Project’s South African Stud?
The bell rings and the fans rally as Angelico and Ricochet circle. They feel things out, circle more, then Angelico leaves Ricochet hanging by smoothing his hair.

Ricochet gets up on the barrier to soak up more heat, and he even flicks sweat off his bald head! Ricochet puts Angelico in the ring, stalks him to ropes, then CHOKES him! The ref counts, Ricochet backs off, and Serpentico coaches Angelico. Angelico sputters but Ricochet brings him up for a snapmare. Ricochet digs his knee into Angelico’s back as part of the chinlock. Angelico endures, fights up, and fires body shots. Angelico is free, runs the ropes, but Ricochet DROPKICKS him down! Ricochet taunts the fans, covers Angelico, TWO! Angelico is tougher than that but Ricochet covers again, ONE! And again, ONE! And again, ONE!!
Ricochet throws a fit and SLAPS Angelico down before arguing with the ref. The ref defends the count, so Ricochet just stomps away on Angelico’s back! Ricochet taunts the fans, goes back to stomp Angelico and kick him around, then he kicks Angelico to the ropes. Angelico rises to BODY BLOW! And JAB! Ricochet staggers back, Angelico fires more shots! Angelico runs, KICKS the backdrop away, then runs again, only for Ricochet to FLAPJACK him off ropes and JUMPING NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO!

Ricochet made sure Angelico was done before he got the 1-2-3, and now he gets the mic. “Go ahead. C’mon, I can’t hear you! I can’t hear you!” The fans boo and taunt him more and Ricochet says he welcomes it all! Their boos mean NOTHING to him, because he sees what they cheer for. And c’mon, if you cheer for the Detroit Lions, that means you’re dumb as hell. If you were smart, if you had any amount of common sense, you’d be cheering for him! The fans keep taunting him with “They’re Not Bald!” But Ricochet says the Eagles won the Super Bowl, what’re they talking about? They should be cheering him, because he’s been here less than a year and he’s beaten most of the favorites!
Brody King, Will Ospreay, Mike Bailey, Kevin Knight, Mark Briscoe, Swerve Strickland, and even Kenny Omega! All of them are AEW legends, and Ricochet beat them all! But wait, speaking of legends… Ricochet points out the living legend, Zach Gowen! Ricochet remembers growing up, watching wrestling, he was a huge fan of Zach Gowen. Huge fan. He remembers when big Brock would beat him up and down the arena, that was awesome. But the thing is, Daddy Gowen used to be on this side of the barriers, but now he’s on the other side of them. What happened, Zach? Doesn’t have a leg in the fight anymore?
Ricochet laughs at his own offensive joke, and then asks where that fire is now. He pushes Zach around, security rushes in and Ricochet says he wasn’t doing anything! They’re just talking! Then he BOPS each and every guard! They like that? Ricochet THROWS one guy into railing! Ricochet does his own commentary as he sends another one into the steel steps! Then he puts the third one in the ring, and says Zach might like this. The fans boo but now Ricochet brings out THE SCISSORS! Ricochet cuts this guy’s hair up! But Zach jumps into the ring!!

He takes Zach’s prosthetic leg away! The fans boo as loud as they can as Ricochet leaves with the leg! Ricochet isn’t just humiliating Zach Gowen, he’s committing a crime! Ricochet holds the leg up as a trophy, then mockingly limps with it. Will anyone ever humble the ego that is #OuttaThisWorld?

BREAKING NEWS for Beach Break!
After the assault and humiliation that we saw earlier tonight, Zach Gowen is going to make his return to wrestling! Will Zach get revenge on Ricochet for taking things too far?
Jon Moxley speaks.
“So, we’re through the obligatory preamble, casualties on both sides. Last night, you took out my number one lieutenant. Now I could vow revenge and talk about all the things I’m gonna do to Samoa Joe once I get him inside that steel cage. But that would be rather rote, and probably mostly untrue. What do we know? The consensus is Samoa Joe is gonna kick my ass. And yeah, there’s nobody on the planet better at getting their ass kicked than me. The question isn’t whether Joe will beat me up. The question is, how long can he do it? Five, eight minutes? Ten? 20? 25? I’ve got all night.
“I know you don’t think very much of me, Joe, but you are one of the guys that I have genuine respect for. You are the embodiment of a champion. But you’re not the AEW World Champion, I am. And I know that no matter what happens to me inside that steel cage in Chicago, no matter what Hell is put on me, no matter what I am put through in that steel cage, I know I have been through worse. I have been through the kind of Hell, I have weathered the kind of storms, I have faced down the kinds of demons that would keep these kids up at night. So I don’t need to be feared or respected by you or anybody else. I just need you to show up.
“I don’t get along with the rest of the world because I am not like the rest of the world. And believe it or not, next week, there is nowhere else in the world I would rather be than locked inside a steel cage in Chicago with the AEW World Championship hanging in the balance, with the baddest man in pro-wrestling, Samoa Joe. I didn’t build my foundation on sand. When the storm comes through, the only thing that matters is who is the last man standing.” The Maniac has issued his ultimatum, will he ultimately be the baddest man in AEW?

And make some noise!” And they SCISSOR FINGER~! For old time’s sake, Bowens embraces the old gimmick. But will nothing stop Bowens from making himself a contender?

Skye Blue speaks.
“Next week, Beach Break, AEW is back in Chicago. And so am I. I’m back, and I’m a violent little thing.” The Chicago Skye is dark and brooding once again, but will her future be bright?
Konosuke Takeshita & Josh Alexander VS The Dark Order!
Before they take on Will Ospreay & Hangman Page for Beach Break, The Alpha & Walking Weapon are going to make an example out of the Cowboy’s former friends. Will this be the end of The Dark Order once and for all? Or can Evil Uno & Alex Reynolds survive despite not having the Numbers?
Well, Konosuke & Alexander don’t even wait, they just attack! The bell rings, Konosuke TOSSES Uno and Alexander runs up on Reynolds! Reynolds dodges, runs back in, but Alexander ELBOWS him down! Then BOOTS him! Konosuke uses his own jacket to LASH Uno with those studs!

“Speedball” Mike Bailey VS Dralistico!
This match came about because La Faccion Ingobernable was upset Kevin Knight’s team won that $400,000 tag match and they decided to make him pay for it physically. LFI essentially screwed The Jet out of a Continental Championship opportunity, but Bailey is going to fight for his friend! Will Bailey start by taking out El Toro Blanco’s brother?

Dralistico pretends he can’t hear the fans booing but he sees them give him thumbs down. Dralistico storms up on Bailey to CHOP him against railing! Dralistico then whips Bailey into the railing! Dralistico hops up onto the barriers so he can soak up the heat. Bailey crawls to the apron but Dralistico shoves him into the ring. Dralistico sits Bailey up, clamps on a GROUND COBRA TWIST, but Bailey endures! Dralistico throws down fists, then tells the fans to shut up!

Dralistico tells everyone to tranquilo, then he stands Bailey up for a HEADBUTT! Dralistico looms over Bailey, stalks him to the ropes, and then KICKS a leg out!

Winner: “Speedball” Mike Bailey, by pinfall
The sequel was even better than the original! This rematch between Speedball and Prince of Silver was incredible, but wait! Here comes Rush himself! Bailey dares El Toro Blanco to bring those horns because he wants to keep on fighting! Rush says wait your turn, perro! When and where will Bailey look to take the bull by his horns and bring him down?

Who will the two mystery participants be? And will anyone be able to score on the Whore We All Adore this close to Double or Nothing?
Daniel Garcia VS Dax Harwood w/ Cash Wheeler & Stokely Hathaway!
For the longest time, Red Death respected FTR and FTR respected him. But after FTR selfishly betrayed Adam Copeland and put themselves ahead of everyone else, Garcia could not stand by and do nothing. Garcia dared one of the Top Guys to step up, will he take that Top Guy out? Or will this (emotionally) hurt FTR more than it hurts Garcia?
The bell rings and Dax circles with Garcia. Garcia is also wary of how Cash and #BigStoke are moving around ringside. The fans taunt Dax with “BALD! BALD! BALD!” so it isn’t just Ricochet anymore. Dax and Garcia tie up, go around, and Garcia puts Dax in the corner. The ref counts, Garcia lets off slowly, but he pats Dax on his bald head. Dax brushes that off, he and Garcia circle again, and then they tie up. They go around, Dax puts Garcia in a corner, and the ref counts. Dax lets off slowly, but he sucker punches Garcia!

He’s allowed to do that, right? The fans still taunt Dax with “BALD! BALD! BALD!” Dax stands Garcia up, reels him in, but Garcia fights the lift! Dax pulls on Garcia’s hair to then CHOP him! Garcia bails out, Dax pursues, and Dax brings Garcia around.
Dax talks trash on the fans, then reels Garcia in. Garcia fights the lift again, trips Dax up, and then CATAPULTS Dax into the POST! The fans fire up while Dax falls in a heap! Garcia stands, rolls into the ring, but just long enough to refresh the count. Dax is busted open and Garcia is right on that bloody forehead! Dax wants mercy but Garcia only backs off to get space. Garcia puts up his dukes, does his dance, and then runs in for a DROPKICK! Dax hits barriers, but Garcia runs again! Another DROPKICK into the barriers! And then a third DROPKICK into the barriers! The fans fire up with Garcia as he goes one more time, only for Cash to stand in the way!
The fans boo as Cash says no more! Garcia seethes, and he still runs up, but Dax LARIATS Garcia down! Cash bought Dax time, and now Dax huffs ‘n’ puffs through his crimson mask. Dax puts Garcia in the ring, then he grabs the ring bell! The ref stops Dax and they tug-o-war over it! Dax lets the ref have the bell, but then Garcia trips Dax! Garcia steps through, and he turns Dax over for the DRAGON TAMER!! But Stoke distracts the ref, letting Cash drag Garcia out! DRAPING NECKBREAKER to the floor! Cash points to commentary to give a thumbs up, but wait! DADDY MAGIC is here! The fans cheer as Matt Menard CLOBBERS Cash!
The fans fire up, Stoke freaks out, and Menard fires off on Cash in a corner! Detroit is all fired up as Collision goes picture in picture!
Cash runs away to the back but Menard pursues! Now things are a bit more even, with Stoke coaching a bloodied and dazed Dax. Dax staggers to his feet, goes over to Garcia, and drags him up to put him in the ring. Dax talks more trash on the fans, then he storms in after Garcia. Dax suplexes and hits a BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Garcia is still in this and Dax grows frustrated. The ref checks Dax while the fans rally behind Garcia. Dax is okay to continue, and he brings Garcia up, only for Garcia to cradle! TWO!! Dax stands and LARIATS Garcia down! Dax huffs ‘n’ puffs and TOSSES Garcia to the apron! Dax brings Garcia through the ropes, to then CHOP!
Dax KICKS and ROCKS Garcia on repeat! Then he reels Garcia in for a DRAPING DDT! Cover, TWO! Dax rains down fists without hesitation! Dax hears the fans taunting him so he dares them to do something. Dax holds the ropes open but obviously no one takes the offer. Dax drags Garcia up, CHOPS him, and he storms up on Garcia at the ropes. Garcia ROCKS and CHOPS in return, but Dax CHOPS again!

Down goes Dax and the fans fire up!
Stoke is frustrated for Dax as the fans rally up. Garcia storms up on Dax to climb up. Garcia rains down fists, and the fans count all the way to nine. Garcia foams at the mouth before he hits TEN! The fans fire up, Garcia waistlocks, but Dax holds onto a buckle pad! That pad comes loose, Garcia still hits a SAIDO! The fans fire up as Garcia covers, TWO!! Dax survives but Garcia goes for the legs. Dax CLAWS at Garcia’s face and shoves him away! Garcia still gets the legs and trips Dax up! DRAGON- NO, Dax fights and BOOTS Garcia into the bare steel! SLINGSHOT POWERBOMB!! Cover, TWO?!?! Garcia survives and Detroit is thunderous!
Stokely is seething and Dax is pissed, but the fans continue to rally for “DANNY! DANNY!” Dax goes up, and Garcia CHOPS first! Garcia climbs, brings Dax up, and they go to the very top! SUPER DUPER PLEX!! And then a roll through! Garcia hoists Dax up to the top rope again, and goes back up top! Another SUPER DUPER PLEX!!

Stoke has to run away before Garcia CLOBBERS Dax from behind! They go into the crowd, the fans fire up as they’re even closer to the action now! This brawl goes through the stands, around behind commentary, and Dax SMACKS Garcia off railing! And then off more railing!
Schiavone & Nigel just mind their own business, and yet Dax still feels the need to push Nigel’s headset off him! The fans boo and Nigel seethes. Nigel stands up, Dax dares him to do something! Detroit tells Dax he done F’d up, but Nigel just puts his headset back on. Nigel says he is a professional, but a professional commentator. Dax is the wrestler, so Nigel will not touch him. Dax SHOVES Nigel down! Nigel is furious but Dax already storms off to find Garcia. Dax puts Garcia in the ring, but Garcia reels Dax in! Dax fights the lift, Stoke barks from the apron! The ref backs stoke off, but Dax LOW BLOWS Garcia!
But now Nigel is storming down to ringside! Garcia fights the lift and Nigel is on the apron! Dax storms up on Nigel, but Nigel RAMS Dax down low! UPPERCUT! But Cash is back! He kicks Nigel low, reels him in, but Nigel WRINGS Cash out! Garcia LARIATS Dax up and out, and clearly by now the ref has just thrown this one out!
No Contest
Menard is back and he LARIATS Cash up and out! The fans fire up as Menard, Garcia and McGuinness stand tall together! FTR kept pushing buttons but they pushed the wrong ones! Will Stoke, Dax & Cash have to fear the repercussions of their actions?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision, but it apparently caught a bit of the Go Home Syndrome. There were quite a few recap packages I skipped but clearly they are working to hype Beach Break for next. Moxley’s newest promo was alright, didn’t really add much, because as I said just last night, Moxley surely finds a way to retain with help from The Death Riders. I will say, it made a lot of sense for the remaining Death Riders to cost Willow. Marina and Willow still have beef, and I’m still hoping on my idea from last night: Shayna Baszler shows up, teams with Marina, we get Shayna & Marina VS Willow & Kris. Let’s up the ante and get another classic Street Fight Tag out of Kris & Willow.
Great promo from Toni Storm to open the night, and good to hear Skye Blue is back. Another Fatal 4 Way Eliminator makes me wonder if one of the mystery entrants ends up taking the loss. There was also that spider during Kris VS Willow, which I believe is a teaser for Thekla. Thekla could easily jump into the Fatal 4 Way and get close to winning, but who knows. And as I said last night, not sure why they’re holding Athena back from doing much of anything right now. With Supercard of Honor now delayed to July to coincide with All In: Texas, Athena should really be getting involved more on AEW TV so people don’t forget she exists.
Very good stuff with Bowens VS Lee, and I appreciate the albeit lazy way they changed Bowen’s logo so that it doesn’t resemble the Shane Taylor Promotions’ STP. Bowens of course wins, but his promo after was pretty much the same as his other ones. At least he did one last scissoring with Billy. Bowens is unfortunately not going to get a title story right now with all the champions preoccupied in something else. Though honestly, I feel like there is a way for Okada VS Bowens to be a great match, and then someone violates the Continental Rules so that Okada loses without really losing. Best way I can think of is Swerve is hunting The Bucks, they go ringside, and since Bucks are associate with Okada, that’s a violation on his part, and it adds more heat to whatever big thing Double or Nothing has planned.
Great stuff from the Don Callis Family in all their matches. I wasn’t expecting a big 8 Man Tag, and I’m a little disappointed Brody King wasn’t one of the participants, but maybe that’s the next phase. Great showing from the Faces, especially AR Fox. Fox is in a similar boat to Bowens where he certainly deserves title opportunities but TK just isn’t seeing how to write it. But between that and the dominance Konosuke & Alexander over Dark Order, it feels like the Don Callis Family get their comeuppance with Hangman & Ospreay winning next week.
Ricochet VS Angelico was rather outta nowhere but it was still a great match. It was also clearly a vehicle so Ricochet could start beef with Zach (Zack?) Gowen and give us a Beach Break match between them for the real deepcut long time wrestling fans. Much like Bowens and Fox, I feel like Ricochet is waiting on a title to be freed up from story so he can go get those titles. Such as Paragon now feuding with Grizzled Young Veterans for a minute, which in a way keeps Adam Cole isolated. TK should’ve just given us Ricochet VS Cole for the fun of it because Ricochet VS Cole would be incredibly fun stuff. They could even revisit their NXT history if they wanted to.
Great stuff with Gates of Agony and Learning Tree, that was much better than last week’s. I really hope this gives us a Tornado Tag match. For that matter, why aren’t we getting that in the story of Anna Jay & Harley Cameron VS Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford? Good promo from those teams to hype up… just Anna VS Megan… It’d make Beach Break Collision feel all the bigger but whatever, maybe they feel Ford still isn’t up to speed after that Fatal 4 Way last night. But doing a chaotic tag match could help iron out some of that so that Ford can just focus on what she is good at with the gymnastics and throwing hands.
And awesome stuff with Garcia VS “Dax the Axe” in the main event. And yeah, I didn’t put it in myself, but they’re really committing to that as Dax’s ring name right now. Great to see Menard helping Garcia, and even Nigel standing up for himself against Dax. A “No Contest” result was a little odd but I suppose that’s like saying it is a draw where no one goes over. But with the Faces standing tall, maybe Nigel steps in and teams with Garcia right now for Double or Nothing so that Garcia teaming with Cope is the All In moment.
My Score: 8.8/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Hangman Page is here!
Motor City fires up for that #CowboySh*t as the Men’s Owen Hart Cup finalist makes his way out to the ring. Hangman grabs a mic and says, “I don’t know that I’ve ever understood, after everything that I’ve done, why even one of you would cheer for me, but…” The fans cheer and chant for “COWBOY SH*T!” and Hangman continues, “I just want to let you know that it does make a difference, so thank you.” The fans applaud and Hangman says he probably shouldn’t have to say it, but the past two years for him have been “some kind of special Hell.” And after what happened to his family, he wanted revenge, he wanted justice, and he’d found it!
Hangman took from another man his only hopes and dreams, and Hangman nearly killed him! And after their steel cage match, Hangman stood at the top of the ramp and thought he’d finally feel some kind of joy, some kind of closure, to an awful chapter of his life. But he felt nothing. Hangman thought that maybe if he went and finished the job, he’d have his closure, but he couldn’t do it! The fans now chant, “Tell Us Why! Tell Us Why!” Hangman says he doesn’t know why. But since he couldn’t find that closure, he took that anger, bottled it up, and he unleashed it on anyone who got in his way, because he thought that’d give him catharsis! But all it did was tear down everyone around him!
“So I had to make a decision. Swerve Strickland…” The fans chant for “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Hangman tells Swerve that he will never forgive what Swerve did to him. And he will probably never forget. But for Hangman, he will have to put it behind him. Hangman made his decision to enter this year’s Owen Hart Cup, and he defeated Josh Alexander in the first round, and then in front of his friends and family, Hangman defeated Kyle Fletcher in the second. And finally, at Double or Nothing, for a chance at the AEW World Championship, Hangman wrestles who everyone says is the BEST wrestler in the world, Will Ospreay.
The fans cheer, and then here comes Ospreay! Detroit fires up even more as the Aerial Assassin walks to the ring to be face-to-face with the Cowboy. The fans are losing their minds just from these two staring down! There’s also a “Happy Birthday!” chant for Ospreay. Ospreay apologizes for interrupting Hangman’s “therapy session,” but isn’t it a bit strange the amount of promotions they’ve both been part of, and this is the first time they’ve even spoken to one another? Just for Ospreay, it is a pleasure to meet The Hangman. And in that same breath, Ospreay wants to apologize, he sees Hangman’s been through a lot.
Ospreay’s seen it with his own eyes, and he’s seen it through the fans’ eyes. “We have watched your journey, my man. I understand how much this match means to you. I get it. I’ve seen it. We’ve all seen it. One of my favorite moments in wrestling, mate, one of my favorite moments is when you took these misfits known as The Dark Order, and you showed ’em leadership, and you showed ’em what it takes to be a cowboy, bruv.” The fans cheer that! Ospreay says from there, how Hangman rode that support and became THE AEW World Champion, “mate, it was perfect!” The fans also cheer that.
But Ospreay continues, “It’s just, after you lost it, everything changed, didn’t it? I understand. I get it. You’ve had a rough couple o’ years. I spotted something last week. Last week, after you beat Kyle Fletcher, I and these people saw something we ain’t seen from you in a long time. You smiled again.” The fans cheer that, too! Ospreay says we hadn’t seen that from The Cowboy in a long time. And while everyone here, including Ospreay, really wants Hangman to beat those demons and go reclaim his spot as the “main character” of AEW, Ospreay has a problem with that. At Double or Nothing, Ospreay is not losing.
See, while Hangman has been finding himself, he’s been tearing this place apart! Does Ospreay even need to mention Jeff Jarrett, Christopher Daniels, or even one of Ospreay’s best friends, Swerve Strickland? See, Ospreay has been doing all of Hangman’s jobs! Has Hangman been doing media? NOPE, Ospreay’s been doing it! Has Hangman been doing meet ‘n’ greets? NOPE, Ospreay’s been doing it! Has Hangman been taking photos with kids and their families? NOPE, Ospreay’s been doing it! And the best bit of it is, when they ring the bell, Ospreay is the one showing AEW is where the best wrestle! OSPREAY, NOT HANGMAN!
And what? All because Hangman is smiling again, all because Hangman’s found himself, he thinks he can just take that spot back? That don’t mean Cowboy Sh*t to Ospreay, bruv! The fans are torn, but Ospreay says all of this, he understands it is about Hangman’s redemption, but it is far too little and far too late! This is not about Hangman’s redemption, this is about Ospreay’s ascension! Ospreay and Hangman get up in each other’s face, but then The Don Callis Family shows up! With Josh Alexander, Lance Archer, Konosuke Takeshita, Rocky Romero & Trent Beretta at his back, Don Callis has a mic to say, “Y’know, Ospreay…!”
The fans boo a lot but Callis continues with how every day, Ospreay shows us just how stupid he is! The dumbest day of Ospreay’s life was when he left the Don Callis Family! The fans tell Callis off but Callis says just to prove how stupid Ospreay is, does Ospreay even know what is standing in the ring with him? Does he even know what that is next to him!? Callis will tell ya! “That is a violent, mentally unstable sociopath who put his mentor in the retirement home and he can’t walk!” The fans boo, Hangman is riled up but Ospreay has Hangman stand down. The fans again tell Callis off.
Ospreay says he’s already had enough of Callis’ talking! Why not do us a favor, Callis, and bring any two of your guys down to the ring right now so Ospreay and Hangman can- But then Hangman brushes Ospreay’s hand away. Callis says he sees what’s going on here. But y’know what? Hangman and Ospreay can’t even get through a segment together without wanting to kill one another! This is the first good idea Ospreay’s ever had! Callis will take any two members of his family to put against Ospreay & Hangman, so long as Hangman doesn’t have another mental breakdown before next week!
The fans boo more and they tell Callis to STFU. Ospreay and Hangman stare down as the Callis Family leaves, but what hand will be dealt this close to Double or Nothing?
FTR visit commentary…?
Cash Wheeler, Dax Harwood & Stokely Hathaway just walk over, and #BigStoke has the mic to tell Tony Schiavone, “Lemme ask you a question.” The fans boo but Stoke asks Schiavone if he has an issue with FTR. Does Nigel McGuinness have an issue with FTR? Because if Stoke recalls correctly, FTR issued an apology. But week after week after week after week, Schiavone has something negative to say about them, and more importantly, something negative to say about Stokely! The fans boo but Stokely says last Saturday Night Collision, Schiavone said Stoke was a snake in the grass! A snake in the grass…!
But y’know what Schiavone is? He’s a decrepit, pale, pasty piece of- Schiavone stops Stokely there and says that’s enough. The fans cheer for Tony, and Tony stands to ask Stokely & FTR to politely leave. But Stokely SHOVES Schiavone! Schiavone gets back up but FTR stand in the way. Cash tells Tony to relax! He’s so tense! Loosen up a bit. This isn’t even about Schiavone. Daniel Garcia says he wants answers, but why did FTR do what they did to him? He gave them no choice! Garcia made that decision himself. FTR saw themselves as father figures to Garcia, and Garcia turned his back on them!
So like Cash’s father taught him, sometimes you learn lessons the hard way! Tomorrow night, Thursday Night Collision, here in Detroit, Cash promises Garcia that it’ll hurt them a lot more than it will Garcia… emotionally. The fans boo, but Dax smirks as he says, “Tony… Tell Nigel we’ll see him tomorrow night. Top Guys, out.” FTR leave, but will they survive their Collision with Red Death?
Harley Cameron and Anna Jay talk backstage.
The wild Aussie tells the Queenslayer that tonight, Anna goes into battle and comes out with a title match! Don’t think about anything else! Anna says Harley’s had her fat ass’s back out there, and she’ll have her fat ass again tonight, right? With both hands! Harley has the T, Anna has the A! Tenacity and aggression! Uh, yeah, and the other kind. Those, too! So Toni Storm, Thunder Rosa, Penelope Ford, “Who wants to get choked out!?” YEAH! That was definitely the closing line! Giddy-up!

CRU appears ringside.
As Dynamite returns from break, Lio Rush & Action Andretti decide they want to watch the show in person.
The Hurt Syndicate is here!
Detroit fires up as Montel Vontavious Porter, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin make their entrance. The fans sing, “We Hurt~ People!” as MVP & the AEW World Tag Team Champions go to the ring. MVP has the mic and says, “Attention AEW viewing audience. This is an official announcement from the Hurt Syndicate. Standing to my right is the Standard of Excellence, Shelton Benjamin. And to my left is the All Mighty, Bobby Lashley. The Hurt Syndicate are the AEW World Tag Team Champions. But I have a question. This is AEW, right? This is where the best wrestle, right? Well, where are all the best tag teams stepping up to challenge us for the tag team championships?
“Who is gonna take the tag team titles off of these two gentlemen? We like to hurt people, but who’s gonna hurt us? I wanna know! Is there anybody that has what it takes to step up and take the titles from the Hurt-” Wait! Top Flight is here! Darius & Dante Martin have mics, and Darius tells MVP, “Look, look, look, look, look. I’ma be real. Top Flight, we’ve been a little down on our luck lately. Which is exactly why we can’t look at this challenge and not see it as an opportunity. Teams like CRU are afraid to step up because you hurt people.” MVP says, “That’s what we do. Would you like to be next?” CRU talks trash even though they’re several rows back…
Darius says that’s fine, they’ve been hurt before. They get up every single time! MVP respects that. Darius says you’re looking at a team that just won’t die! Hurt Syndicate can try their best. And they know they’re the underdogs. They know no one’s gonna put money on them. But guess what? They have proven before that they can get in the ring with championship caliber teams and hold their own. And Dante knows they can do it again. So Motor City! Y’all wanna see a miracle? The fans are torn, but then MJF CLOBBERS DARIUS! And he DECKS Dante! The fans are torn but the Scumbag is ready to show Lashley how he can hurt people!
MJF rains down fists on Darius, stands him up, and POSTS him! MJF drags Dante up, and Dante’s already a bit busted open. MJF throws hands on Dante to work on that wound, then he storms over and BITES Darius’s face!! The fans chant “We Hurt~ People!” as MJF stands Dante up. MJF tells Lashley to look at the blood! MJF reels Dante in, and hits an APRON POWERBOMB! MJF storms up to the apron, blood staining his tank top, and he steps to Lashley. The fans fire up as MVP hands MJF a mic. “I! HURT! PEOPLE!!” The fans cheer that, but Lashley is stoic. Lashley takes the mic from MJF, then looks to MVP.
The fans again sing, “We Hurt~ People!” Lashley sees what MJF has done, and he smiles. “I’ll have an answer for you next week.” The fans boo, but MJF takes what he can get. Will the All Mighty accept the Devil of AEW into the fold?
The Elite speak.
Nicholas Jackson does not appreciate Excalibur cueing them up, and tells the commentary team to have more enthusiasm when you’re pitching to your Founding Fathers! Matthew says they should all have enthusiasm right now because it is a huge night for The Elite! We have the Rainmaker in singles action! Kazuchika Okada tells Kevin Knight that tonight, Okada makes him a b*tch! And of course, their new trios partner, Ricochet. But Matt has to ask, this match was Ricochet’s idea. Why is Ricochet so eager to team with the #YoungBizzles? Ricochet says he knows The Bucks have a little Swerve problem. And Ricochet has already beaten Swerve twice.
That means Ricochet has Swerve’s number! And Ricochet has already beaten “Speedball” Mike Bailey and Mark Briscoe, and so if they just follow his lead tonight, he promises to take them to victory! The Bucks like the sound of that, and they all fist bump. They tell him they’ll see him out there, and Ricochet says, “See you, Bosses!” Ricochet heads out, The Bucks go to their office, but wait! The Death Riders are there…! Is there something The Bucks can help them with? The Bucks step inside, Marina Shafir closes the door. What business will The Maniac AEW World Heavyweight Champion have with the EVPs?
ROH World Television Championship Mystery Opponent: Nick Wayne w/ The Patriarchy VS ???
Right as The Prodigy is about to take off for Japan and the NJPW Best of the Super Juniors tournament, it would seem the “Sins of the Father” will be visited upon him. Someone from Christian Cage’s past wants after this title, but that’s a long list of enemies. Will Nick be able to pass this new test of his faith? Or will he be flying to Japan with much lighter luggage?
AEW returns and the challenger is revealed: IT’S RHINO!! The fans go wild as the manbeast from Michigan is here! The belt is raised, the bell rings, and Detroit is already fired up as Rhino and Nick circle. The two tie up, Rhino SHOVES Nick down, and the fans fire up! Nick bails out and is already frustrated, but Christian coaches him up. Nick goes back into the ring, circles with Rhino, then dodges. Nick kicks low, throws hands, then runs, but Rhino runs him over! The fans fire up as Rhino whips Nick to a corner. Rhino runs up, Nick BOOTS him, then Nick goes up to MISSILE DROPKICK! Nick flexes but the fans boo.
Nick storms up to stomp Rhino in the corner but the ref counts. Nick digs his boots in while the fans rally behind Rhino. The ref has Nick back off, but then Nick clamps on a chinlock. The fans boo but Rhino endures and fights up. The fans rally as Rhino fires body shots, but Nick throws him down by his hair! The ref reprimands but Nick picks out the strands on his fingers. Nick soaks up the heat, then STANDING MOONSAULTS, only to FLOP as Rhino moves! The fans rally and Rhino rises up. Rhino fires haymakers on Nick, then whips and LARIATS Nick down! Nick gets up but Rhino ELBOWS him down!
Rhino whips Nick to a corner, runs in and RAMS him! Then Rhino clinches for a BELLY2BELLY! The fans fire up but Christian is worried. At least, he acts worried. Kip Sabian distracts the ref and Christian goes after Rhino! The fans boo but Rhino avoids being tripped up. Nick runs in, Rhino still hits him with a SPINEBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Nick survives and Rhino is annoyed but the fans rally up. Rhino goes to a corner, takes aim, and Nick rises up. Rhino runs up but is sent into buckles! Nick then chicken wings, KILLSWITCH! Cover, NICK WINS!
Winner: Nick Wayne, by pinfall (still ROH World Television Champion)
Rhino had to deal with distractions and Nick comes out on top! Christian snatches the belt from the ref to personally hand it to Nick, but not without “explaining” he was doing this for Nick’s own good. The fans call BS, especially as Christian lingers with the belt. Nick asks for it back, Christian just drops it on the floor! Will Nick’s time in NJPW for the BOSJ be much needed time away from his jealous father?
Rush speaks.
El Toro Blanco tells Kevin Knight, “You cost me $100,000, and now you owe me that money! And you will pay with blood! Just remember: When you mess with the bull… you get the horns!” Rush has put Knight on notice, but will Knight focus more on earning a golden ticket to the Continental Championship?
Six Man Tag: Ricochet & The Young Bucks VS Swerve Strickland, Mark Briscoe & “Speedball” Mike Bailey!
Well, if we’re talking about being “robbed” of $100,000, then The One & Only knows what that is like when he lost that big money 8 Man a few weeks ago. Ricochet has since then avenged himself of that loss, much like he has with Swerve’s House. But will Ricochet & The EVPs make tonight #OuttaThisWorld? Or will The Most Dangerous Man help the Sussex County Chicken & Speedball be like Swerve’s new track and go #OuttaControl?
The trios sort out and fans cheer on “Whose House?” as Swerve steps up against Ricochet. Ricochet taunts Swerve and his team that he’s got their numbers, but then Swerve points out how The Bucks seem to be inching away. Ricochet turns around and sees that, and asks what they’re doing! The Bucks say Ricochet’s got this, right? Ricochet argues with them, they push him back, and Swerve DECKS Ricochet! And then DECKS him again! And again, and again! Swerve kicks low, fires more hands in the corner, then stomps away! The fans fire up, Swerve HAMMERS Ricochet, but the ref counts.
Swerve lets off of Ricochet, then fireman’s carries for a SNAKE EYES! Swerve runs and BOOTS Ricochet down! Swerve scares The Bucks off, then goes back for Ricochet. Tag to Briscoe and then Briscoe tags Bailey. The Bucks are warry of them, too, and then Swerve has Bailey hop up onto his shoulders in a Chair Lift. Then Swerve THROWS Bailey at Ricochet to RANA! Briscoe adds a SLIDING LARIAT! Bailey covers, TWO! Ricochet stays in this, but Bailey SLAPS him on his bald head! The fans fire up for that! Bailey drags Ricochet up, whips, but Ricochet reverses. Bailey grabs ropes, Nick runs up, but Bailey DECKS him!
Ricochet runs up but into an ELBOW! Matt grabs Bailey’s foot, Bailey kicks free, but Ricochet CLOBBERS Bailey from behind! The fans boo but Swerve runs in! Ricochet gets Swerve for a JAWBREAKER! Ricochet then whips Swerve into a DOUBLE GAMANGIRI from The Bucks! Briscoe runs up but Ricochet KNEES him! The Bucks coordinate, ALLEY-OOP DROPKICK! The fans boo more but Ricochet & The Bucks set everyone up at the ropes! DOUBLE SLINGSHOT SENTONS from The Bucks to Swerve and Briscoe, Ricochet KNEE-BOARD SENTONS Bailey! Then The One & Only poses with The Bucks while the fans boo.
But uh, Swerve’s team stands up! The Elite turn around, see punches coming and run away! The fans fire up but Ricochet & The Bucks huddle up. They talk strategy, go to the apron, but then The Bucks leave Ricochet alone like before. Bailey BOOTS Ricochet and he falls onto The Bucks! The Bucks scramble up to their feet, as does Ricochet, but Bailey SUPERKICKS Ricochet! Swerve’s team all take aim, DOUBLE PLANCHA for The Bucks while Bailey ASAI MOONSAULTS onto Ricochet! The fans are thunderous for all this high flying, and Swerve’s team keeps after The Elite with punches. Briscoe even BITES Matt’s forehead!
The ref reprimands, Bailey puts Ricochet in the ring and whips him corner to corner hard! Tag to Briscoe and he winds up. “This is Awesome!” as Briscoe REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUTS! Ricochet wobbles, Bailey adds a CANADIAN TAE KWAN DO UPPERCUT! They’re very similar. Then Bailey & Briscoe DOUBLE UPPERCUT Ricochet down! The fans fire up more, and Briscoe brings Ricochet around, only for Ricochet to TOSS Briscoe out! Nick PENALTY KICKS Briscoe! Swerve runs up, but Ricochet sends him into a shoulder RAM from Nick! Nick then hits a slingshot FACEBUSTER! And a cartwheel MOONSAULT onto Briscoe!
Ricochet hits a GERMAN SUPLEX on Swerve! Matt intercepts Bailey, ROCKS him, then drags him out along the ropes! Nick goes up, DRPAING DOUBLE STOMP SLINGSHOT BOMB COMBO!! Nick ESCALARAS onto Swerve! Ricochet springboard 450 SPLASHES onto Bailey!! Detroit can’t help but be fired up for all this, and Dynamite goes picture in picture!
The Bucks & Ricochet soak up cheers and jeers, then they focus on Briscoe. They double whip him corner to corner, and Nick runs up to LARIAT! Matt adds his own LARIAT, and then Ricochet adds another LARIAT! Ricochet snapmares Briscoe so they can TRIPLE BASEMENT DROPKICK! Ricochet winds it up, and then just like last time, The Bucks lend Ricochet their hair for the photo op. It doesn’t really work as well this time, it just gives Ricochet a big runway and two long curtains on the side… The Bucks then go to the corner and Ricochet whips Briscoe in. Briscoe hits buckles hard then slumps down.
Matt tags in and he stands Briscoe up. Briscoe fires body shots and backs Matt down, but Matt scoops to BACKBREAKER! Nick tags in and adds the LEG DROP! Nick taunts Briscoe’s team, Ricochet taunts the fans, and Nick drags Briscoe back up. Nick scrapes his soles off Briscoe’s face, then stalks him to a corner. Nick CHOKES Briscoe with a boot, stops as the ref counts, and then whips Briscoe corner to corner. Nick runs in and SHINING WIZARDS! Briscoe sits down but Nick stands him up to reel him in. Nick suplexes, Briscoe slips free, and RUSSIAN LEG SWEEPS! Both men are down and the fans rally up!
Briscoe and Nick crawl, but then Matt BLASTS Swerve & Bailey! Nick tags Ricochet and Ricochet stomps away on Briscoe! Ricochet soaks up heat, then stalks Briscoe to a corner. Briscoe CHOPS him first! And CHOPS him again! Ricochet CLAWS Briscoe’s eyes! The ref reprimands, Ricochet stops, only for Ricochet to CHOKE Briscoe on the ropes! The ref counts and Ricochet stops again while Dynamite returns to single picture. The fans rally but Ricochet reels Briscoe in. Briscoe fights the lift, so Ricochet CLUBS him and KNEES him for it!

Bailey puts Matt back in, hurries back up, and the fans cheer “A E DUB!” for making this match happen! Bailey is up top, and he ULTIMATE- NO, he has to bail out as Matt moves! Bailey turns around as Matt runs in, but into a SPANISH FLY! Cover, Ricochet breaks it! The fans boo but Swerve storms in! Ricochet ROCKS Swerve, but Swerve BOOTS Ricochet! Both men block a boot, then they see Briscoe and Nick running in! Both men let the other go so they can each go Matrix!

Backstage interview with Will Ospreay.
Renee Paquette is now with The Aerial Assassin to bring up the tag match of Ospreay & Hangman VS Don Callis Family. We saw how tense it was out there earlier tonight, and they’re so close to the Owen Hart Cup finals at Double or Nothing. How will this shake out next week? Ospreay hopes to God that- MJF interrupts… MJF asks “Billy Boy” how he’s doing, but then says it doesn’t matter, he doesn’t really care. MJF just wants to do a shameless plug real quick: Go to ShopAEW.com to get yourself a beautiful replica Dynamite Diamond Ring today! Make him richer while you get poorer! Ospreay asks what MJF even wants.
MJF says, “What I want? Will, what is up with all this hostility, my man? I’m a fan. I came over here simply to tell you I hope you win this whole entire Owen Hart Cup tournament. Truly. And do you wanna know why? I know you’re a little bit slow, so I’ll explain the whole thought process to ya. I want you to go to All In: Texas, and I want you to win my AEW World Championship. So that way, when I wrestle you, I’m gonna get another easy dub. Taking the belt off you will be like taking candy from a lil’ Bri’ish baby.” Ospreay says, “Aww. That’s adorable, mate. Thank you so much. But if it was gonna be that easy, why weren’t you in the Owen Hart Tournament?”
Ospreay says MJF can work hard, right? And he could’ve easily talked with Tony Khan. MJF is in TK’s pocket, right? Oh, right, it’s maybe because there’s some little bit of fear that stepping into the ring with Ospreay again will go down like it did last time: Ospreay picking MJF up, dumping him on his head, and losing power in his arms. MJF chuckles and says okay. Understand something. Ospreay is clearly the reason there are instructions on shampoo bottles. MJF will explain this: MJF hopes they do wrestle again. Because if they do, Ospreay finds out yet again that ain’t nobody on the level of the Devil!
MJF turns to leave, but Ospreay yanks him back in! Ospreay says that’s where MJF is wrong. Ospreay IS on that level, because he is on another level! The Assassin puts the Scumbag on notice, then apologizes to Renee. Will we see MJF and Ospreay go another round somewhere down the line? Or will Hangman throw a wrench into both of their plans?
Sit-down interview with Jamie Hayter.
Dynamite returns as Renee is now with one half of the Women’s Owen Hart Cup Finals. Renee says we’re just two-and-a-half weeks away from Double or Nothing, Hayter VS Mone in that tournament finals. The winner then goes on to All In: Texas for a shot at the AEW Women’s World Championship. Renee wants Hayter talk about what this opportunity means to her. Hayter says what this means to her surely means more than what it does to Mercedes, that’s for true. Mone was talking with Renee last week about “Scooby-Doo characters” and her legacy. Pfft! Utter nonsense. Hayter will be damned if Owen Hart’s legacy is represented by Mercedes Mone.
Mone is virtually the antithesis of what Owen stood for! Hayter doesn’t even care about all that, though, because she wants to get to know the real Mercedes Mone. The woman behind the hype. Not the catchphrases, not the brand, not the cheap, egotistical, obnoxious woman that we know today. Renee says regardless of personal feels for Mone, there is no denying what Mone has accomplished throughout her career. Renee notes her talk last week, Mone said Hayter reminded her a lot of Mone. Hayter stifles a laugh and says that’s an insult. They’re not anything alike! Hayter doesn’t claim to be the best or worst, she’s not claiming to be this or that.
Hayter simply reciprocates actions and energy. Mone runs away like she owes Hayter money! Hayter doesn’t have Mone’s resumé, her accolades, her match catalogue or her “star power.” But what Hayter has is integrity, grit, truth, and more of a reason to hurt Mone! This isn’t even about gold or glory now. This is about showing Mone that she is NOT untouchable. Mone cannot just walk around here, do what she wants, say what she wants, like she’s the second coming. Renee does bring up Hayter’s time away with her back injury. Hayter says there’s no need to talk about that. It is irrelevant. She is fine, good to go.
The point is, Mone is looking past Hayter, and that is fine. But then Mone rushes in and attacks! Hayter is ready, and Hayter chases Mone down the hall! So far, it’s going how Hayter said! But will it be that easy for Hayter to punch her ticket to Texas? Or will The CEO find a way to get ahead?
Wait, wait, wait, they’re coming out to ringside! They’re brawling in the special box seats! Hayter CHOKES Mone, but Mone slips away, and safely to the floor! Mone keeps running, Hayter pursues, and they brawl again! Mone still tries to flee, and she KICKS Hayter away! Mone goes to the stage, Hayter pursues, and then Hayter blocks a haymaker! Mone dodges the Hayterade and runs away into the night! Hayter says there she goes, running away again. Hayter stands by the cup, but Mone returns to CLOBBER her! The fans boo as Mone puts on the STATEMENT MAKER!! Mone shouts Hayter will NEVER have what she has!!
Refs rush out here to stop Mone, but Mone only stops once she’s pulled Hayter way back! The fans boo as The CEO now stands by the cup. Will nothing stop the Money Train from railroading Hayter?
Backstage interview with Willow Nightingale.
Alicia Atout is with the Babe with the Power and says the last few months for her have been really busy. It includes some great success, even in Japan. But here in AEW, it seems Willow still has a lot to settle with the Death Riders. Willow says yeah, she does. And luckily, she isn’t alone. The list of people who wanna end the Death Riders just keeps getting longer and longer, and Willow can appreciate that. But she also wants to be the first one to just shove her fist into Marina’s face! A hand reaches out, Willow gets spooked, but it’s Kris Statlander! Kris tells Willow that if Willow doesn’t wanna talk in the back, then they’ll have to have it out on camera.
Willow says she doesn’t think there’s anything that needs to be said. She heard Kris, she gets where Kris is at, and she gets Kris was sorry. So like, what? Kris is now disappointed she lost in The Owen? Last year, Willow could’ve won The Owen, and it’s all because of Kris. Kris doesn’t want Willow going there, but Willow says this conversation is over anyway. Kris goes to leave but then Willow reconsiders. She says if Kris wants to meet in the middle of the ring… Then how about tomorrow night, Thursday Night Collision, here in Detroit, Willow knows a whole bunch of sickos would love to see it! So what does Kris say?
Willow offers a handshake, Kris accepts the handshake, and Kris says if there’s nothing more to be said, then see her there. Kris does leave, and Willow smiles. Will these former besties get out all the tension between them when they go 1v1 on Collision?
AEW Continental Championship Eliminator: Kazuchika Okada VS Kevin Knight!
The Rainmaker told The Jet that he’s going to humble him, but jets are know to still fly through the rain. Will Okada cross another name off the list of contenders? Or will Kevin be feeling #2Flyy as he also prepares for Best of the Super Juniors?
Wait, Rush attacks Knight during his entrance! The fans boo but El Toro Blanco is making good on his warning! Dralistico is also here so La Faccion Ingobernable mugs Dralistico! Security rushes out, Dralistico fires hands on them, and Rush stands Knight up. Rush tells Knight that he said he’d pay! Knight is sent into the steel steps! And then into railing! And then railing again! Security steps in but Rush still CHOKES Knight! But Bailey rushes out here to SUPERKICK Dralistico! Bailey dares Rush to fight him now but Rush shoves Knight down. Rush tells Bailey he’ll be next. LFI falls back, but what about Knight’s opportunity with Okada?
Okada is nonchalant about all this as Knight says no, he doesn’t want to give this up. Bailey helps Knight with his jacket, and Knight manages to roll into the ring, so the match IS on. But now Bailey has to leave ringside per Continental Rules, so he wishes his friend good luck. The bell rings, and Okada runs up to ELBOW Knight! Okada kicks Knight low and hits a DDT! Cover, TWO! Knight is still in this and the fans fire up! Okada is amused, and he drags Knight up to Alabama Lift. Knight sunset flips through, TWO! Okada and Knight stand up and Knight fires a forearm! But Okada DECKS Knight!
Okada whips Knight to ropes, and then FLAPJACKS! Cover, TWO! Knight stays in this and now Okada’s annoyed. Knight goes to a corner but Okada storms up on him. The fans duel as Okada kicks at Knight. Okada drags Knight up, gut wrenches, but Knight fights free! Knight ROCKS Okada with forearm after forearm! Knight UPPERCUTS, the fans fire up, and both men go to corners. Knight runs in but Okada puts him up top! Okada DROPKICKS Knight down to the apron and then Knight falls to the floor! Knight writhes and Okada just waits inside while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref checks Knight but Knight refuses to let this stop the match. Okada goes out after Knight, brings him up, and RAMS him into the railing! Okada laughs at the fans, especially a little girl in the second row. Okada drags Knight up, RAMS him into the railing again, and then laughs at the little girl again! The little girl gets upset and hides behind her mom while Okada goes back to the ring. Okada waits as the ring count climbs. Knight crawls towards ringside at 5 of 10, drags himself up at 7, and rolls in at 8. Okada is right on Knight with a turn and NECKBREAKER! Okada lets Knight writhe a bit before standing over him.
Okada SLAPS Knight! Knight glares up at Okada, but Okada SLAPS him again! Knight rises, Okada SLAPS him again! Knight comes back to CHOP Okada! Okada brushes that off, so Knight CHOPS again! Knight fires a forearm, Okada fires back, and Knight wobbles! Okada ROCKS Knight and puts him in a corner. Okada digs his boot into Knight’s neck, and practically pushes him out of the ring! The ref reprimands but Okada backs off. Knight sputters on the apron, Okada goes back to bring him in, but Knight fires body shots! Okada UPPERCUTS Knight and Knight falls back down! Okada stands Knight up to whip corner to corner.
Knight goes up, up, and FLYING LARIATS! Both men are down and Dynamite returns to single picture. The fans rally for both men as they rise, and Knight roars! Knight runs and SPLASHES Okada in a corner! Knight stomps and UPPERCUTS on repeat! Then Knight stomps a mudhole into Okada! The ref counts, then backs Knight down. The fans boo, but Okada pokes Knight in the eyes! The fans boo more, but Okada whips Knight. Knight reverses to SKY2HIGH! Cover, TWO!! Okada survives and Knight is frustrated. The fans rally, Knight rises again while Okada goes to a corner. Knight runs in, but Okada BOOTS him!
Okada goes up, but Knight jumps up to the UPPER ROOM! The fans fire up as Knight somersaults and UFO SPLASHES! Cover, TWO! Okada stays in this, proof of his championship caliber toughness. But Knight roars, runs up, only for Okada to fight the Satellite DDT into a REVERSE NECKBREAKER! Okada drags Knight up, scoops and SLAMS, then he goes to the corner! Standard formula says MACHO ELBOW! The fans fire up as Okada stands, and Okada winds up the… MIDDLE FINGER~! The fans are torn, and Okada oddly censors his own middle finger for some of the fans. Okada drags Knight up, ripcords, but Knight reels him in for a cradle! TWO!!
Okada is up, Knight has him for a backslide! TWO! Okada is back up, he spins Knight, but Knight hurdles the lariat! Then Knight PELES! Okada falls and the fans fire up again! Knight hurries to a corner and he climbs up! MOTHERSHIP SPLASH onto knees!! Knight sputters as Okada saves himself! Okada grits his teeth, drags Knight up to whip, but Knight avoids the dropkick! Knight runs, but Okada BOOTS him! Both men roar and the fans fire up! Okada UPPERCUTS, whips, but Knight reverses and DROPKICKS! Both men are down again, but Knight still rises! The fans are thunderous as Knight goes to the corner!
Knight springboards in, but into an ANTIAIR DROPKICK!! Ripcord and RAINMAKER!!! Cover, Okada wins!
Winner: Kazuchika Okada, by pinfall (denies Knight a title match)
Give the assist to Rush, but The Rainmaker still gets the job done. Wait, now he drags Knight up for another RAINMAKER!!! The fans boo as Okada shows no mercy! RAINMAKER again!!! And then another ripcord, but Knight falls! And then here comes Bailey! Speedball runs Okada off, but Okada still has a smug smile. Knight has to catch a flight to Japan, but will Bailey make sure Okada pays for his arrogance?
The Don Callis Family speaks.
Don Callis himself says, “The Outrunners tried to challenge RPG Vice? Who do you two idiots think you are? Y’know, I was wrestling in the ’80s, I knew a lot of dirtbags like you! So why don’t you get yourselves a couple of other stupid idiots to be your partner, and you can take on the Don Callis Family, and I will kick your ass all the way back to Tennessee like it’s 1983!!” Wait, did he say he will? Well, will Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd find someone willing to take on
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
It has been decided that Dax Harwood will take on Daniel Garcia in response to his challenge last week. Will Dax the Ax make good on FTR’s word to make this one hurt? Plus, after the confrontation we saw between them, Bailey will take on Dralistico as payback for what LFI did to Knight! Will Speedball strike out the Prince of Silver? And speaking of baseball terminology, the 5 Tool Player is about to throw some heaters at “Big Shotty” Lee Johnson for stepping to the plate last week. Will Bowens make sure to #MollyWhopp Lee back to the dugout?
BREAKING NEWS for Beach Break!
The Don Callis Family has decided: Konosuke Takeshita & Josh Alexander will take on Hangman Page & Will Ospreay! Can Cowboy and Assassin coexist? Or will the Owen Hart Cup Finalists fall to The Alpha & The Walking Weapon?
Backstage interview with The Hurt Syndicate.
Alicia catches MVP, Lashley & Shelton on their way out, and brings up Lashley telling everyone that we have to wait until next week to find out if MJF is officially getting the thumbs up. Can’t he just let us know now where things stand now? Lashley says he is very protective of the Syndicate, but apparent legal counsel advises him to say no more. The answer will be made public next week. MVP introduces longtime legal counsel to the Hurt Syndicate, Harrison Landow. And well, when he speaks, they listen. See you next week. The Syndicate heads out, but will MJF’s attack on Top Flight have been in vain?
Samoa Joe VS Claudio Castagnoli!
The Samoan Submission Specialist and The Opps have been putting The Death Riders on the defensive, and Joe himself has accused Jon Moxley of no longer having the guts to fight a real fight. Moxley took offense to that remark last week, but he will still let his Swiss Cyborg handle things first. Will Claudio soften Joe up for Moxley and that Steel Cage title match? Or will Joe prove it is the Death Riders who are soft?
The fans already sing, “Joe is gonna kill~ you!” but Claudio takes his time entering the ring. The bell sounds, the fans rally up, and the two circle. They tie up, go around, and Joe powers Claudio back. Claudio turns things around to put Joe in the corner, then he grinds his forearms in. The ref counts, but he has to get in there to back Claudio off. Claudio eggs Joe on, the two circle, and they feel things out. They tie up, Joe powers Claudio back, and they end up on the ropes. They go around, end up in a corner again, with Joe in control. The ref counts, he backs Joe off, but Claudio throat chops! The ref reprimands and fans boo but Claudio goes after Joe!
Claudio fires fast hands from all sides and the ref counts. Claudio UPPERCUTS again and again until the ref reaches 4. The ref backs Claudio off, but Claudio jukes him, only for Joe to dodge Claudio! COQUINA CLUTCH!! Joe has Claudio by the head, but Claudio steps through the ropes! The ref counts, Joe lets go at 4, but then Joe LARIATS Claudio down! Joe goes out to then whip Claudio into barriers! Joe storms up, whips him again, and Claudio hits railing hard! The fans fire up and Joe SMACKS Claudio off the top of barriers! Joe CHOPS Claudio, refreshes the ring count, but Claudio scoops to SNAKE EYES off the barriers!
Joe sputters and falls while fans boo, but Claudio RAMS Joe into barriers! Claudio UPPERCUTS Joe, then gets space. Claudio runs back in, but into the URENAGE to the floor! The fans fire up while Claudio writhes. Joe aims at Claudio, runs in and BOOTS Claudio! The fans fire up and Joe brings Claudio into the ring. Joe stalks Claudio but Claudio goes to the apron. Claudio then RAMS into Joe, RAMS him again, and UPPERCUTS! Claudio JABS, CHOPS, and JABS again! Claudio CHOSP, but now Joe is getting mad! The fans rally as Claudio UPPERCUTS and CHOPS, but Joe CHOPS, CHOPS, and CHOPS!
The fans “WOO~” with every CHOP, then Joe whips corner to corner. Joe runs up and ELBOWS! And PELES! Claudio sits down, the fans fire up, and Joe snarls. Joe has Detroit behind him as he hoists Claudio up top. Joe CHOPS again, then tucks Claudio in! Claudio fights that by CLAWING Joe’s eyes! The ref reprimands, Claudio stops, but then Claudio jumps down to HOTSHOT Joe’s arm! Joe falls back, Claudio hurries in, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Claudio stomps Joe down, then paces around. Claudio HIP DROPS Joe, then clamps on a chinlock stretch! Joe endures, even as Claudio pulls on the hold. Joe fights to his feet, but Claudio wrangles him back down! Claudio grinds Joe down with the side headlock, then adds an arm for a straitjacket! Joe endures, fights up, and HEADBUTTS free! Joe ROCKS Claudio, CHOPS him, then runs, only for Claudio to BOOT him down! Claudio goes to a corner, goes along the ropes, and then SPRINGBOARD ELBOW DROPS! Cover, TWO! Joe survives and Claudio is furious, but the ref defends the count.
Claudio pushes Joe back down, runs and DOUBLE STOMPS! Cover, TWO! Claudio is frustrated but this is why Joe is a former AEW World Champion, and why he dethroned the Death Riders as AEW World Trios Champions. Claudio drags Joe back around to DOUBLE STOMP! And DOUBLE STOMP! And DOUBLE STOMP again! Claudio then clamps on with a COBRA CLUTCH! Joe endures and the fans rally up. Joe stands, but Claudio fires knees down low! Joe drops to his knees and Claudio squeezes tighter! Joe still endures but Claudio grinds him down to the mat! The ref checks but Joe is still in this.
Joe rises up, Claudio wrangles him again, but he also smothers Joe! The ref reprimands, Claudio lets go and “apologizes,” mockingly asking for clarification on what was wrong. Claudio then clamps back on with the Cobra Clutch as Dynamite returns to single picture. The fans chant at Claudio, “You Suck!” Joe fights up but Claudio throws knees! Claudio goes back to the Cobra Clutch and thrashes Joe around! Joe endures, the fans rally, and Joe fires hands! But Claudio fires more knees! Claudio runs, but into a SNAP POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO! Joe whips Claudio to a corner, then reels him in for an atomic drop!
Joe runs to BOOT Claudio down, then SENTONS! Cover, TWO! Claudio stays in this but Joe stays focused. The fans rally behind Joe and he brings Claudio up. Joe fireman’s carries but Claudio slips free, and he shoves Joe at the ref! Joe stops short, but then Claudio pokes Joe in the eyes again! Claudio runs, runs, and runs to LARIAT! Cover, TWO!! Joe survives and Claudio grows frustrated. Claudio drags Joe up, reels him in, but Joe BACKDROPS free! Claudio lands on his feet! Claudio dodges Joe, springboards and FLYING UPPERCUTS! Claudio snarls while fans are torn, and Claudio calls for it! Claudio grabs the legs, but Joe kicks free!
Claudio staggers, Joe turns him around and reels him in by his tights! COQUINA CLUTCH!!! CLAUDIO TAPS, JOE WINS!!
Winner: Samoa Joe, by submission
The Swiss Cyborg got caught, but here comes reinforcements! Joe dares the Death Riders to make a move, so Wheeler Yuta jumps the barriers! Marina and Moxley follow, they’re flanking the ring! But WILL HOBBS is here! And the Powerhouse is armed with a chair! The fans fire up as The Opps have the numbers and the “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Moxley backs away, but Hobbs tells him, “Watch this!” Claudio stands up, into a CHAIR SHOT! Claudio falls and the fans want “One More Time!” Joe says okay, and Hobbs SMACKS Claudio again! Moxley seethes but he is still standing at the barriers.
Joe sets the chair down, drags Claudio over, and Joe gives Moxley one more chance to do something. Moxley doesn’t move, so Joe hits a FULL METAL GOURD BUSTER!! Joe avenges Hook and Shibata, but will Joe save all of AEW from Moxley’s reign of terror? Or will The Maniac find a way to survive Beach Break in the Windy City?
My Thoughts:
A great episode of Dynamite here, but not without odd choices. CRU continue to be chihuahuas barking at bigger dogs, and then oddly enough, Top Flight kinda do the same thinking they’ll get at Hurt Syndicate for the titles. MJF going after them to “hurt people” made for a fitting move in that moment, but then Lashley making us wait and them bringing in some lawyer for the Syndicate is disappointing. Are they really dragging this out for Double or Nothing? Why not give us the “moment of truth” tonight, then next week has some sort of official “swearing in,” and then we get shenanigans that give us a Double or Nothing match. I feel like TK’s sense of pacing continues to be a problem…
Good promo from FTR and Stokely to call out Schiavone & Nigel as well as Garcia, and Dax VS Garcia will be great stuff. I still sense Adam Copeland returns to join Garcia and settle things with FTR. Good promo from Willow to call out Marina and the Death Riders, and I like the segue back into the Willow-Kris story. They’ll have a great match tomorrow, but I don’t know what’ll happen with it if Willow is to also still feud with Marina. Unless newly released Shayna Baszler shows up to team with Marina, Kris & Willow getting on the same page doesn’t seem likely. Side note, Shayna and Marina should be part of the ROH Women’s Pure Championship tournament.
Great promo from Hangman and Ospreay to open the show, looking back on continuity and even getting a bit meta with the “main character of AEW” stuff thrown around. But of course The Don Callis Family wants after them and all their other enemies. Konosuke & Alexander VS Ospreay & Hangman will be awesome stuff for next week, but I feel like Alexander takes the loss so Ospreay and Hangman both head for Double or Nothing with momentum. Then with Roppongi Vice and I assume Lance Archer facing The Outrunners, I feel like my idea of Brody King teaming with Truth & Turbo is going to become a reality. It just makes sense given Brody had that brawl with Archer last week.
Great promo from Harley and Anna before the Fatal 4, and then a great Fatal 4 match. Ford was a touch off on those pinfall breaks but that was a minor thing. Naturally, Megan got involved, which cued Harley to do the same, and clearly we’ll get Megan & Ford VS Harley & Anna in a great tag match. Toni winning out is fine, but it just seems odd they did this at all. I still hope Athena steps up so we can have Champion VS Champion at Double or Nothing to go double or nothing on titles. And then with how Hayter VS Mone is going, there’s still a chance we can go all in at All In with Mone putting up at least the TBS title against both the AEW & ROH Women’s titles.
But given the great interview promo from Hayter and the obvious ambush from Mone, there’s also still a chance Hayter VS Storm happens as a rematch from long ago. Then Mone and Athena can still go title for title in Texas as TBS Championship VS ROH Women’s World Championship. Very good stuff with that open challenge for the ROH World TV title, and it was great for Rhino to be in his hometown. But naturally, whoever was showing up would be cheated out of the win. Nick Wayne is going to bring that title with him to Japan, I just wonder if he’s bringing The Patriarchy with him. At the very least, Christian should keep AEW viewers up to date with every little win or loss Nick has in the BOSJ like the overbearing and jealous father he is.
Great promo from The Elite & Ricochet to hype up their matches, and what an intriguing move to have The Death Riders meet The Bucks in their office. Though, they didn’t light the scene very well, I only knew it was The Death Riders from Claudio’s bald head and white shirt. And then of course when it was Marina closing the door. But we got an awesome Six Man Tag of Ricochet & Bucks VS Swerve, Briscoe & Bailey. Rather surprising win for the Heels but I suppose that ups the animosity between The Elite and Swerve. Also, good promo from Rush followed by a pretty good ambush on Knight. Okada VS Knight was a great match but I figured Okada would win. Bailey is clearly going to get an eliminator next, and that’ll be awesome, too.
And of course, a great main event of Joe VS Claudio. Great win for Joe, and naturally the Death Riders would rush out there. Great counter with Hobbs showing up, and it works that The Opps “take out” Claudio. With Pac out from an actual injury and then Hook and Shibata kayfabe sidelined from what Death Riders did to them, things are a bit more even now. But even then, Yuta & Marina can still interfere, Hobbs & Willow can still counter, only for Moxley to still somehow win against Joe because I don’t think Beach Break is where a title change this big is going to happen. It still feels like Double or Nothing gives us Anarchy in the Arena 2025, Death Riders making a deal with The Elite to take on The Opps, Swerve, and Kenny Omega, who was conspicuous by his absence tonight.
My Score: 8.8/10
