Jay White w/ Bullet Club Gold VS AR Fox!

The Switchblade wears the AEW World Championship but he isn’t actually the AEW World Champion. Though if you’d ask him, he’d say he IS the real world champion. Will White be rolling into Full Gear? Or will he end up owing a ticket to the Whole Fox’n Show?

The bell rings and the fans taunt the “ASS~ BOYS!” White and Fox circle, tie up, and go around. Fox puts White in a corner but White turns it around.

White shoves Fox out of the ring and distracts the ref, and the BCG attack Fox! Fans boo while Collision goes picture in picture!

The “real world champion” doesn’t have to worry about owing Fox anything, but wait! MJF snatches Triple B from where it sits on the desk! Bullet Club Gold swarms, White grabs hold of the belt and it’s a tug-o-war! But MJF seeing White’s got his boys with him, discretion is the better part of valor and MJF gets outta there. MJF still has time before Dynamite’s 8 Man Tag challenge, but will he find three men willing to help him? Or rather, will MJF accept the help of three men who already are willing? Speaking of…

The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn speak.

Daddy Ass says in case you’ve been living under a rock, these three have been AEW World Trios Champions for SIXTY-TWO DAYS! That means next week, live on Collision, it is a very special day for them! It will mark sixty-nine days as- Wait! Caster has a text! He doesn’t wanna cut us off but great news. MJF just texted and says he’ll be front row for National 69 Day! NO, Max! Dammit, this is some kinda catfish! This guy only has 200 followers! What?! But Caster’s already sent pictures! Of what?! Of himself! MAX!? Stop! Go, get back in the corner. But point is, we’ll celebrate 69 in Wichita, because EVERYONE loves The Acclaimed! And block whoever that is, Max.

Brandon & Brent Tate w/ Dalton Castle VS The Gunns w/ Bullet Club Gold!

Backstage interview with Ryan Nemeth.

Lexi Nair is with the Hollywood Hunk and it seems he has a big surprise. Yes, a huge surprise! As you all know, things have been going great for Ryan in Hollywood. Big movie just came out, another one on the way, as we all know. Even some commercials! He might be the new voice of a certain grocery chain. Well, congratulations. Yes, thanks. Also, national comedy tour coming! #Hunkamania, get your tickets now! But really, in order for the success he’s having in Hollywood to translate to the ring, he needs to secure “the upper echelon of management.” Which is why he’s brought us here, to CJ Perry’s door!

Well, good luck with that. Thanks! No hug. Okay! Ryan knocks on CJ’s door, the door opens up, but MIRO is there! Please, come in. Ryan isn’t so sure now, but then Miro YANKS Ryan into the room and throws him at a wall! The Redeemer is already beating down another prospect, will he not stop until CJ herself gives up this endeavor?

AEW Women’s World Championship Fright Night Fight: Hikaru Shida VS Abadon!

Spooky, scary wrestling sends shivers down your spine! But with Full Gear as the destination, will the Shining Samurai slay the Living Dead Girl? Or will Abadon spawn a new title reign this close to Halloween?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and with the decorations all around, we see who gets the trick and who gets the treat!

The bell rings and fans fire up as the two circle. Shida works to stay calm staring down spooky Abadon, and the two knuckle lock. They have a test of strength, but then Abadon knees low, and goes for the arm! Shida avoids being bitten, she remembers last time! Shida kicks low, headlocks, but Abadon throws body shots. Abadon powers out, Shida runs her over, and fans fire up! They duel as Abadon sits up! Shida is spooked but she swings. Abadon dodges, RANAS, and Shida staggers up. Abadon watches Shida and grabs a bone! Shida has a grave stone! They both swing, the bone breaks the stone, because the stone is really foam!

Shida still tries but the “stone” is completely broken! She dodges the bone club to then DROPKICK! Shida puts Abadon in a corner, climbs up, and fires up! Fans fire up with her, and Shida rains down fists! Shida goes all the way to TEN, then she kicks Abadon out. Shida MISSILE DROPKICKS and down goes Abadon! Fans fire up as Shida then looks outside, but where’d Abadon go? Where, oh where, did that spooky ghoul go? She peeks out from under the apron skirt to trip Shida! Shida kicks Abadon away, hurries to her feet, but where could Abadon poke out from now? The other side! Abadon runs up to DECK Shida!

Fans fire up as Abadon grabs a bright orange trash can lid! It’s a Trash O’ Lantern, and she SMACKS Shida with it! Abadon is having fun now as Collision goes picture in picture.

Abadon puts Shida in the ring, runs in and BASEMENT CODE BREAKERS! Cover, TWO! Shida survives but Abadon is more amused than anything. Abadon CLUBS Shida, CLUBs her again, but Shida hits back. They brawl, Abadon CLUBS Shida, then grabs that bone club! Abadon CHOKES Shida against ropes but the ref can only reprimand in this spooky No Disqualifications setting. Abadon lets off to threaten the ref with the bone. The ref reprimands again, Abadon goes back to Shida, but Shida hits back with a bone club of her own! Abadon and Shida hit each other, Abadon CLUBS Shida down!

Abadon drags Shida up, reels her in, and snap suplexes! Cover, TWO! Shida is still in this but Abadon dribbles her off the mat! Abadon grabs her Trash O’ Lantern to SMACK Shida with it again! And again! Shida falls over and Abadon grins an evil grin. Abadon SMACKS Shida while she’s down and Collision goes to break.

Collision returns and Abadon has Shida in a facelock. Shida fights up, throws body shots, and she ROCKS Abadon with forearm after forearm! Abadon just HEADBUTTS back! Abadon whips, Shida blocks, so Abadon ROCKS her again! Abadon whips, Shida JUMP KNEES! Fans fire up with Shida and she sits Abadon up. Shida goes to the trash can in the corner, and takes out the broom! Shida goes up the corner, fans fire up, WITCH’S FLIGHT- NO, Abadon avoids the stomps! They DOUBLE LARIAT and both go down! Fans fire up and chant “HOLY SHIDA!” Abadon bails out and Shida goes to a corner. Abadon brings out a baseball bat! Covered in bats!

Abadon aims, and she JAMS Shida with the bat! But then Shida gets around, has the bat to CHOKE Abadon, but they go to ropes. The bat falls out of the ring, Shida ROCKS Abadon, but then Abadon just stares Shida down. Shida kicks, Abadon shakes her head! Shida fires a forearm but Abadon is just drooling slime! Shida CLUBS and CLUBS and KICKS, then runs, into a LARIAT! Cover, TWO!! Shida survives and now Abadon is mad. Abadon fires down fists, Shida pushes free, but Abadon rolls Shida up onto the broom! TWO, and Abadon SUPERKICKS! Abadon drags Shida up to RAM her into buckles!

Fans boo but then Abadon brings out the bucket of candy! She pours the candy out, and all those hard candies will really hurt. Abadon goes up to BLOCKBUSTER onto the candy!! Cover, TWO!! Shida survives again but Abadon is furious! Abadon reels Shida in but Shida back drops! Abadon sunset flips, TWO! Shida sits, TWO! Both women hurry, Abadon gets a pumpkin but Shida has her kendo stick! Shida dodges the smashing pumpkin to SMACK Abadon! And kick! And HEADSHOT! Abadon falls onto the candy! Then TAMASHII KNEE!! Cover, TWO!! Abadon survives but Shida gets the JACK O’LANTERN!

Shida puts the pumpkin on Abadon’s head, then KATANA KNEES!! Cover, Shida wins!

Winner: Hikaru Shida, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Champion)

The horror movie is over and the hero has made it through! But here comes Timeless Toni Storm! She kicks off the shoes, skips her way down to the ring, and hops onto the commentary table! Toni eats a peach and waves hi to Shida, but Shida is utterly confused. Will Storm steal the spotlight from Shida in Tinsel Town? Or will Shida kick it into Full Gear and keep her title reign going?

AEW hears from FTR and the Absolute.

Dax Harwood says last time they fought, Ricky Starks took something from FTR that meant a hell of a lot. And Starks may not give FTR a rematch, and Dax doesn’t blame him. But tonight they’re 1v1 and Dax has a lot of respect for Starks the performer. But as a man, Dax can’t say there’s any respect. But he will beat Starks like he stole something! But Starks says that it took FTR literal years to become the tag team that they are, but it took Starks & Morrissey literal minutes to become the champions. Starks will stomp Dax out as quickly as he did that night, and in Absolute fashion, and the biggest way he knows how. Will Starks continue to take the #TopGuysOut?

AEW hears from Keith Lee and Shane Taylor.

The Limitless One says, “Let’s talk history, Mr. Taylor. It seems to be what you’re hung up on.” But Bad Boy Shaney T. wants Keith to understand exactly why he’s challenging him. Shane wants to prove he is the best, and that is who Keith is right now. Keith says they teamed together in 2015 and ran roughshod over ROH. They had fun! But Shane is upset because Keith too an opportunity. Shane says Keith is why he pushes himself. Keith IS Limitless. However, Keith has been more successful NOT because he is better but because he is more “palatable.” But Keith says this will be a great opportunity to make an example out of Shane.

Shane said he promised to put Keith in the ground, and he meant that. He will be the man to find Keith’s limits. These two titans are on a collision course, when and where will they finally have it out?

ROH World Television Championship: Samoa Joe VS Rhett Titus!

The One True King of Wrestling Television is just FIVE days away from breaking the record for longest single reign with this belt, as held by Jay Lethal. But he faces The Professional, a man who has been an ROH World TV Champion in his own right. Will Titus take this crown from the king? Or will nothing stop Joe from making history?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who sits upon the throne of honor!

The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and these two circle. Fans sing “Joe is gonna kill~ you!” but Titus wrenches Joe’s bad arm. Joe powers Titus to ropes, powers out, but Titus ROCKS Joe! And CHOPS! And ROCKS! And runs, only for Joe to CLOBBER him! Fans fire up, Joe waits on Titus, and he JABS! JABS! JABS! Joe fires off in the corner until Titus sits down! The ref counts, Joe lets off, and then Joe stands Titus up. Joe whips corner to corner, run sin to BACK ELBOW and PELE! Titus falls but Joe stands him up again. Joe CHOPS Titus, whips him corner to corner, but Titus BOOTS him away!

Titus skins the cat to the top rope, then leaps, but Joe just moves aside. Fans cheer and Joe CHOPS Titus again! Joe hoists Titus up, tucks him in, but Titus fights free! Titus leaps up and over Joe, keeps moving, and he BOOTS Joe in the corner! Titus keeps moving, and gives another BOOT! Titus still keeps moving, but runs into the “SIT YO ASS DOWN!” URENAGE! Joe storms around, gets Titus in the COQUINA CLUTCH, and Titus taps! Joe wins!

Winner: Samoa Joe, by pinfall (still ROH World Television Champion)

Violence manifest, dominance made flesh, and now unincumbered when it comes to becoming THE longest reigning ROH World Television Champion! Will anyone ever stop Samoa Joe?

Backstage interview with Team QTV.

Renee Paquette is with Harley Cameron, Aaron Solo, Johnny TV and of course QT Marshall. She says it’s been a minute since we got a new episode of QTV, but Harley takes the mic and tells Renee to shush a minute. Because how they’re starting this is by introducing their newest theme song and music video, “The Best Thing on TV!” Okay, go ahead, proceed. Yes, strong stuff. But QT, it has been a minute since we’ve seen him, so what is he up to? QT says yes, when he won the AAA Latin American Championship in Mexico City, he told the entire world that he was going to defend it with honor and prestige, and that is literally what he has been doing.

QT has been traveling the world with this title, defending against anyone and everyone, and he may have even set the record for title defenses in the history of this belt, in just a couple months! But quick scoop: QT is back in AEW, and he will be defending this title against some of the best luchadores AEW has, because he’s been told AEW is the place where the best luchadores are. So he will be watching very closely, and defending this title very, very soon. Any names that come to mind? Oh, Renee, one scoop at a time. Thank you. Yeah, don’t be greedy. Then who will be the first to step to QT’s Latin American Championship?

Claudio Castagnoli speaks.

“Broken orbital bone from either an Orange Punch or a Rainmaker. Which one? We don’t know. But in all honesty, which one, I don’t care! Because I’m gonna make both of you pay for what you’ve done to my friend! Okada, be it in the United States or Japan, I am coming for you. I will find you. And I will make you pay! Orange, I don’t have to go looking for you. You and me, in Louisville, this Wednesday on Dynamite for your International Championship. I know what I’m gonna do. I know what I’m capable off. And just thinking about that, honestly, it frightens me a little bit. But you hurt one of us. You hurt one of the Blackpool Combat Club. And now, I’m gonna hurt you! See you on Wednesday. Good luck.”

The Swiss Superman has issued the ultimatum, but will Freshly Squeezed be ready?

Dax Harwood w/ Cash Wheeler VS Ricky Starks w/ “Big Bill” Morrissey!

Dax the Ax and The Absolute have each said their parts, but now it is time to back up words with actions! Will Dax earn FTR that tag title rematch? Or will Starks clear FTR out of the way once and for all?

Wait, the lights went out? Uh oh, you don’t think… The lights come up, and there in the crowd, The House of Black watches! Fans fire up but FTR is furious given how Malakai, Brody & Buddy ruined FTR’s match last week. The bell rings on this match, Starks and Dax circle but Dax can’t focus. They tie up, go around, and Starks puts Dax in a corner. The ref counts, Dax turns things around, but Dax lets off clean. They tie up again, Dax waistlocks but Starks switches. Dax arm-drags Starks down for an armlock but Starks headscissors. Dax kips free, then grabs a leg to trip Starks. Starks slips away and fans cheer.

Starks and Dax circle, tie up, and they go around. Dax puts Starks in a corner again, but Starks avoids the chop! Starks wrenches, YANKS the arm, and wrenches again. Dax rolls, kips, but Starks headlocks. Dax wrenches out to headlock but Starks powers out. Dax runs Starks over! Things keep moving, Starks hurdles but Dax turns hip toss into hip toss! But Starks kicks Dax away to arm-drag and armlock! Dax headscissors, Starks kips free, but Dax headlocks for a takeover! Fans cheer the exchange, but Starks fights up. Starks powers Dax to a corner, lets off slowly, but throws a body shot! And a forearm! And a haymaker!

The ref reprimands, Starks CLUBS Dax, then follows him along the way. Starks CHOPS, ROCKS Dax, but Dax comes back to CHOP! And CHOP! Dax brings Starks out to snap suplex! Dax drops a leg, covers, ONE!! Starks is hanging tough but Dax stays cool. Dax scoops to SLAM Starks into a drop zone, then Dax goes up the corner. Dax glares at the House of Black, and he DIVING FLOPS as Starks moves! Starks drags Dax up, bumps Dax off buckles, and then wrenches to go up the ropes. Starks gives us some Absolute Old School! AX HANDLE! Starks then runs side to side to STRADDLE ATTACK Dax on the ropes!

Dax sputters, Starks & Bill soak up the heat, and then Starks goes to the apron. APRON LEG DROP! Another shoutout to The Phenom, and Starks covers, TWO! Starks drags Dax up, fires forearms, and fans rally. Dax CHOPS and Starks falls back! Starks gets up to ROCK Dax, but Dax CHOPS Starks! Starks and Dax CHOP back and forth, Starks headlocks but Dax powers out. Starks runs Dax over, things speed up, and Starks hurdles, but Dax TOSSES him out! Starks hits the floor, fans fire up, and Dax builds speed! Dax slides, but into the apron skirt trap! Starks BOOTS Dax, fires off on him, and Cash protests!

The ref counts, Starks drags Dax outta the skirt and to the ramp! Snap suplex onto the ramp! Starks smiles and so does The House, and Starks even knows we’re going picture in picture!

Starks catches his breath while the ref checks Dax. Dax is still in this so Starks drags him up. Starks brings Dax around, Dax powers out and runs in, but into a back drop! Dax hits the floor and Starks soaks up the cheers and jeers. Starks drags Dax up and in, stares Cash down, then slides in to cover, TWO! Dax is still in this and Starks grows frustrated. Starks clamps on a chinlock and grinds Dax down. Dax endures, Cash coaches him, and Dax fights up. Cash rallies the fans, Dax throws hands, and Starks staggers to a corner.

Starks knocks Dax down, then MISSILE DROPKICKS! Cover, TWO! Starks is frustrated and talks some smack, then looms over Dax as Collision goes to break.

Collision returns and Dax has Starks up top now! Fans fire up as Dax brings Starks to the very top, for a SUPER DUPER PLEX! Fans fire up while both men are down! The House of Black is still watching, nonplussed that Dax has turned the tables. Fans rally, Dax and Starks stir and a standing count starts. Both men rise up at 5 of 10, then stand at 7. Starks swings, misses and Dax CHOPS! Starks tries again, Dax CHOPS again! And again! And fires forearms and CHOPS! Dax whips, Starks ducks ‘n’ dodges to LARIAT!

The ref keeps Bill and Cash back, then he and Dax return to the ring. Starks gets Dax for a PILEDRIVER!! Cover, STARKS WINS!

Winner: Ricky Starks, by pinfall

The Absolute’s gigantic insurance policy saves him! The House of Black seems to be okay with this, but then the lights go out! The lights go up, and Julia Hart is on stage! She raises her hand to the sky, and the lights go back out! When the lights come back up this time, the House is in the ring! They stare Bill & Starks down, but then stand with them against FTR. Wait! La Faccion Ingobernable is here!? What does LFI want with all these teams? Rush, Vance & Dralistico stare FTR down, but then they go after the House! LFI & FTR fight off The House, Starks & Bill! It is chaos and the fans are loving it!

Bill & Starks get away with the tag titles, then the House follows! Fans chant “SI SI SI!” but then, what kind of alliances are forming in AEW?

Backstage interview with Andrade El Idolo.

Lexi is now with The Face of Latino Wrestling and brings up last week’s business proposition from CJ Perry. And we saw the return of LFI, who he has a deep connection with. So how is all of this affecting him? Andrade says he is a businessman. And this is his business, nobody else’s. That’s neither a confirmation or denial, so who will The Idol choose to align with?

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander, Willow Nightingale & Skye Blue.

Lexi is now with the AEW TBS Champion, the Babe with the Power and Chicago Skye, and says Kris wanted this time to talk with her friends, just like last night. What’s on her mind? She wanted to talk about last night and that Fatal 4 Way. They both had a great shot, and they both lost. So whatever is going on here, they need to settle it now. Willow says yeah, it would’ve been great if she got to face Shida tonight, and she thinks they both stood a chance. But Skye, more than anything, there was this tension between them, and it just keeps growing. Ever since they got misted by Julia Hart and that spooky dust, something’s been getting worse.

Julia was back tonight, should they address this? Skye says anything she has to say to Julia will be between the two of them. Skye leaves, Willow and Kris aren’t sure what to make of that. Will Skye only get darker from here on?

Claudio Castagnoli VS Tracy Williams!

The Swiss Superman issued that ultimate earlier tonight, but looks to put a punctuation on it. Will Hot Sauce be an example of what’s about to happen to Freshly Squeezed?

OH NO Claudio UPPERCUTS Tracy even before the bell!! The bell rings, Claudio drags Tracy up to whip and UPPERCUT! Claudio fires off UPPERCUT after UPPERCUT, the ref counts but Claudio doesn’t stop, even as Tracy sits down in the corner! Claudio hauls Tracy up to short arm LARIAT! Claudio drags Tracy up to short arm LARIAT again! The elbow pad comes off, as does the BCC shirt, and Claudio stands Tracy up. He says this is for Orange! UPPERCUT!! Cover, Claudio wins!

Winner: Claudio Castagnoli, by pinfall

The Hot Sauce just got smoked! But now Claudio puts Tracy in a LEBELL LOCK!! Claudio uses Bryan’s move to send another message! Is Claudio going to beat the pulp out of Orange to take that gold?

MJF prepares backstage.

He’s just moments away from the main event, and Samoa Joe walks over to applaud and hype MJF up. Joe says MJF looks ready to do what the world expects of him tonight. But Joe reminds MJF of his offer. MJF doesn’t have many friends but Joe could be a friend. He just has to give Joe what Joe’s gonna get on his own anyways: a rematch for the AEW World Championship. But hey, that look means MJF is upset, Joe would never push such an ultimatum on him. But if MJF finds himself in a bad way tonight, just scream his name and Joe will be there for his “friend.” Kenny’s a dangerous man, Joe will keep his ears open.

Joe heads out and MJF has a lot to think about. Will the People’s Scumbag accept the help of the One True King of Wrestling Television?

AEW World Championship: MJF VS Kenny Omega!

The Generational Talent takes on perhaps the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be. But The Cleaner’s Hitman cosplay aside, will he prove he’s truly the Best Bout Machine? Or will Maxwell Jacob Friedman prove he IS better than the best, and we know it!

The introductions are made, sadly there’s no belt to raise, but one way or another, the winner here is going to Full Gear!

The bell rings and the fans are losing their minds already! The two circle, tie up, and Omega waistlocks. MJF switches, Omega wrenches and wristlocks, but MJF rolls, rolls and wrenches back. Omega wrenches, wrenches, and snapmares MJF into a chinlock, only for MJF to slip out and hammerlock. Omega rolls, trips MJF, and has a toehold. MJF goes for the arm, Omega fights up and hooks legs to then float to a facelock. MJF slips out to wrench but Omega gets away, and the fans cheer the standoff. Omega and MJF reset, circle again, and fans chant for “BOTH THESE GUYS!” MJF and Omega tie up again, and MJF headlocks.

Omega pulls hair but the ref reprimands. Omega powers out, MJF ducks ‘n’ dodges, but then stops himself so he can step on Omega and strut his stuff! Fans cheer while Omega frowns. Omega runs in, MJF dodges and things speed up again. MJF hurdles, Omega handsprings, and they keep moving! Omega hurdles, MJF stops to cover, TWO!! Omega headlocks for the takeover, MFJ headscissors. Omega kips free, roles reverse and now Omega headscissors but MJF kips free. They both handspring up and the fans fire up! MJF says Omega’s wasn’t quite as good, and Omega nods in admittance. MJF then has everyone quiet down, because he offers a handshake.

Fans cheer the “SPORTS-MAN-SHIP!” Omega smirks and paces, then he accepts the handshake. But then MJF pokes him in the eyes! Fans cheer again because duh, MJF is a scumbag! MJF then runs, but Omega dumps him out of the ring! Omega starts the Terminator Drums and fans fire up as Omega builds speed! Omega FLIES! and he takes MJF down!

MJF puts Omega in the ropes, for a HEATSEEKER!!! Cover, MJF WINS!!!

Winner: MJF, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)

Maybe Callis was a factor, maybe he wasn’t, because in the end, MJF still did it! MJF still defeats Omega, without calling for Samoa Joe. Joe is watching backstage, perhaps only moderately happy that MJF survived. Wait, Wardlow is watching backstage, too! He seems less happy than Joe, but at the same time, they both want after the Devil of AEW. MJF made it through Omega, and Hobbs likes seeing Omega down. And Bullet Club Gold also likes that it’ll still be MJF meeting White at Full Gear. MJF shows Omega respect by offering a real handshake, and Omega accepts it. But now, can MJF focus fully on getting the Triple B back?

My Thoughts:

A great episode for Collision here, though with some moves that are confusing. I swore House of Black was advertised for action but apparently they changed plans so that Claudio could destroy Tracy Williams to send a message to Orange Cassidy on top of a promo where he sent a message to Orange Cassidy. The match feels like a last minute thing, but whatever, Claudio has momentum going into what will surely still be Cassidy retaining the title. I do like that Claudio wants after Okada still. I don’t think they wait for like Forbidden Door 2024 or even WrestleKingdom 18 in January. Could Okada show up for a Full Gear match? Or Worlds End in December? That’d be cool.

Kris’ promo with Willow and Skye was a bit redundant given just last night on Rampage, they also had a promo with almost the exact same set-up. But even so, it was still good for them to mention Julia’s return tonight as the House of Black just oddly watched Dax VS Starks. And further odd move, LFI returns as Faces to help FTR against Starks, Bill & The House of Black? Rather than helping Andrade back when he was having beef with Bullet Club Gold? Well, perhaps this is a last minute change, too, since Bryan Danielson is legit out with a broken orbital bone. BCC can’t team with FTR against The House and Absolute, so someone has to.

Speaking of Andrade, his promo was vague but in a good way. He isn’t showing his hand, though at the same time maybe AEW just isn’t sure themselves what he’s doing. I laughed at Miro surprising Ryan Nemeth and beating him up, but maybe we still get El Idolo VS The Redeemer as the next phase of CJ Perry’s story. Really good promo video from Keith Lee and Shane Taylor to further hype the grudge match that is taking way too long to put together, why not just say it’s for AEW Full Gear or ROH Final Battle and be done with it so we aren’t all just sitting here wondering? It’s like how Keith and Swerve still haven’t really had things out.

The promo with Acclaimed almost seemed redundant but then they had a great change where Caster gets catfished by an MJFake account because that’s how desperate Caster is being. Good promo from Team QTV, but apparently QT defending the AAA Latin American Championship against Daga in ROH doesn’t count for anything here on AEW. But whatever, QT defending this title on American television against the great assortment of luchadores AEW does have signed (Lucha Bros, Komander, Metalik, Gravity) will be a great story for QT. And while Renee brought up QTV not having an “episode” in awhile, I’m just fine with that, we don’t need more of their TMZ parody. We just need QT and Johnny getting in the ring and giving us good matches.

Speaking of great matches, White VS Fox was an awesome opener, and of course White wins to keep his momentum up. Nice attempt by MJF to steal the belt back to circumvent this whole 8 Man Tag thing, but of course it fails. Gunns of course squash The Tate Twins, and I’m a bit disappointed Dalton Castle didn’t find Joe backstage. Joe of course beats Rhett Titus to now make it to the top spot as longest reigning ROH World TV Champion ever, I just wish he’d do some of these defenses ON ROH TV. Maybe ROH TV this next week will give us Castle confronting Joe and demanding that title match, with Stokely Hathaway stepping in to set something up. It NEEDS to happen.

Really fun Fright Night Fight match, Abadon with her Spawn cosplay and Shida was Ada Wong. Good use of props, everyone loved the pumpkin head Katana finish, and of course Toni Storm steals the spotlight to remind everyone she and Shida are facing each other at Full Gear now. At least I would think so, Shida doesn’t need to defend the belt but we could get some really fun promos between the two. A great bit with Joe talking to MJF before the main event, and then what an awesome main event. That was borderline PPV worthy, and while I thought BCG was gonna go after MJF for earlier, Callis trying to go after Omega was good stuff, too.

Of course MJF wins so that he can still have that 8 Man Tag on Dynamite, and there has to come a moment of desperation where Caster and Acclaimed rush out there, Caster offers a tag and MJF accepts it. Fans will go nuts for it, The Acclaimed will take care of winning on MJF’s behalf, probably pinning a Gunn, and then MJF will have his belt back with two weeks left before Full Gear. Though if pacing was better, maybe said moment would happen for the go-home Dynamite or something. But hey, maybe the homestretch of the build is how MJF is learning to accept more friends outside of Adam Cole so they can watch his back.

My Score: 8.8/10
