PLAY BY PLAY

Bryan Danielson speaks.

“Strap Match, Texas Death Match, technical match, and tonight, I get in the ring with a 24-year-old stud! Man, I’ve been wrestling longer than he’s been alive. But tonight, I’m gonna teach him a lesson that comes from within here.”

Kyle Fletcher speaks.

“The amount of mental uncertainty I’ve gone through this past week is like nothing I’ve ever experienced. And now, without a moment’s notice, I am given not just the biggest opportunity of my career but my life! And tonight, against Bryan Danielson, I am going to show up, stand on my own two feet, and show out, baby.” Will the Aussie Arrow be able to shoot down the American Dragon?

 

Ricky Starks & “Big Bill” speak.

The Absolute says, “Tonight is an example of when two motivated and frustrated individuals get together and take on the self-proclaimed greatest tag team in the world. Heh, we are gonna be the NEW AEW Tag Team Champions.” Big Bill says The Guys, OUT. Will Starks and his skyscraper throw FTR off their thrones?

 

Eddie Kingston speaks.

“Tonight, Komander, you get a shot at the ROH World Championship. My man, you may think that’s an honor for you, but it’s not. It’s gonna be straight pain. Get ready, time for you to prove yourself.” Will the Mad King keep both his crowns here tonight?

 

FTR speaks.

Cash Wheeler says he’s, “Banged up, bruised up, fractured rib, it doesn’t matter. It’s Saturday night, and we don’t say no to a fight.” Dax Harwood adds that this is the life they chose and they ain’t stopping. Still your AEW Tag Team Champions, #TopGuysOut.

 

AEW World Tag Team Championships: FTR VS Ricky Starks & “Big Bill” Morrissey!

Speaking of that fight, they’re getting right to it! Cash & Dax were on the losing side of the WrestleDream All-Star 8 Man Tag, with the Absolute & Skyscraper hitting a powerful combo. Will Starks & Morrissey hit that same combo again to take these titles? Or will Cash & Dax come through on their promise?

The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see if Ricky & Bill take the Top Guys out!

The teams sort out and Starks CLOBBERS FTR! Down goes Cash, and Starks POSTS Dax! Fans boo but Starks brings Dax around to RAM him into another post! And then TORNADO DDT! Cover, TWO!! Dax survives this assault but Starks slaps him around! Starks rips Dax’s shirt off, the medic checks Cash, but Dax back drops Starks away! Dax CHOPS, and CHOPS, and CHOPS again! Starks tags Bill in and Bill UPPERCUTS Dax down! Dax staggers up but Bill clotheslines him up and out! Fans boo while FTR is down on the outside. The ring count starts but Bill storms out to fetch Dax. Fans rally for “FTR! FTR!” but Starks says get Cash first.

Bill agrees, and he clears the desk! Nigel and Ian clear out, Bill tells Doc Sampson to back off, and then he choke grips Cash. CHOKE SLAM through the desk! Fans lose their minds as Bill looms over Cash in the wreckage. Bill then puts Dax in the ring, and Dax crawls away to a corner. The ref reprimands but Bill just soaks up the heat. Bill runs in but Dax avoids the splash! Dax DECKS Starks, dodges Bill, and fans fire up! Dax snarls, gets Bill’s big legs, and steps through! Bill blocks the Sharpshooter, BOOTS Dax away, then BOOTS him down! Fans boo but Bill just soaks it all up. Bill then choke grips, to SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAM!

Bill wants to cover but Starks says do that again! Fans boo but Bill likes Starks’ way of thinking. SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAM! Starks wants that “One more time! One more time, go up!” Bill grins, and he drags Dax up again. Bill choke grips to SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAM!! Wait… Starks wants that one more time…! Bill UPPERCUTS Dax, tags Starks, and they coordinate, ABSOLUTE SPEAR!!! Cover, Starks & Bill win!!

Winners: Ricky Starks & “Big Bill” Morrissey, by pinfall (NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions)

Salt Lake City is salty but FTR just fell! Starks literally stands over Dax with the belt raised in hand! Is there nothing that can stop the Absolute from taking over AEW?

 

Bryan Danielson VS Kyle Fletcher!

The American Dragon was victorious against Zack Sabre Jr. at WrestleDream while Aussie Open lost to the then AEW World Tag Team Champions, FTR. Bryan is rolling into a TNT Championship #1 contender’s match on Title Tuesday, will he be at full speed? Or will Fletcher be a major speedbump on the road to Dynamite?

The ref checks both men and somehow, Fletcher is still in this after taking the worse of his own tope suicida. Fletcher drags himself up, the ring count hits 5 of 10, but Fletcher puts Bryan in. Fletcher storms up on Bryan, brings him up and CHOPS! Bryan sputters and goes to another corner while Fletcher snarls. Fletcher storms up to CHOP Bryan again! Bryan staggers and drops to his knees while Fletcher gets the fans fired up both ways. Fletcher says up theirs, then he puts Bryan in a corner. Fletcher climbs up and he rains down fists!

Backstage interview with Ricky Starks & Big Bill.

Tony Schiavone is with the NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions, and that was a shocker to open the show. Bill says they went out there with “the best tag team in the world,” and whooped their asses. Bill & Ricky show up to work week after week after week, looking like stars. They walk like stars, they talk like stars and they act like stars. So it is about damn time the AEW Tag Division was represented by some stars. Starks says damn right. And Starks tells FTR they are NOT getting a rematch! Nope, nope, nope. Get that idea of of your heads now. As far as Starks & Bill go, they are the ones everyone wants to go after. They are the real faces of Collision!

When you talk about Starks & Bill, you better do it with respect! They are the new top dogs of AEW, so top dogs out. Then with the Young Bucks next in line, will they have something to say about who runs things?

 

Six Man Tag: Bullet Club Gold VS Gravity, Metalik & Angelico w/ Serpentico!

The Bang Bang Gang got the drop on MJF on Dynamite, still convinced that it was the AEW World Champion behind the assault on Jay White. But while the Switchblade wears Triple B (which he stole), will Juice Robinson & The Gunns make their way up the ranks towards the AEW Trios Championships? Or will the Astronaut, the King of the Ropes and the South African Submission Specialist prove they can be a top trio?

The teams sort out and Austin starts against Gravity. Austin snatches Angelico’s hat and wears it while mocking Gravity’s space walk. Austin punts the hat, but then fans taunt him as the “ASS~ BOY!” Gravity space walks up to Austin, raises his hands, and then Austin mocks him again. Gunns SUCKER PUNCH! Austin mocks the space walk as he stalks Gravity to a corner, stands him up, and whips him corner to corner. Gravity goes up and over, things speed up and Gravity handsprings to arm-drag! And arm-drag again! Gravity has a cording hold, wrenches to a wristlock, then space walks his way to the corner.

Metalik tags in but Austin scrambles away to tag Juice. Juice uses his chest to bump Metalik and intimidate him, but Metalik shoves back. Juice scoops, Metalik slips free and kicks. Metalik whips, Juice reverses and avoids the handspring back elbow. Juice swings, misses and Metalik mule kicks! Metalik ROCKS Juice, whips corner to corner, but Juice reverses. Juice runs in but into a BOOT! SLING-DOG! Metalik covers, ONE, but Metalik wrenches an arm. Tag to Angelico and he takes the handoff to wrench. Angelico wrenches, traps both arms and Juice is frustrated as Angelico taunts the Gunns.

Juice knees low, but Angelico keeps on the double armlock! Tag to Gravity and he goes up to DOUBLE STOMP Juice’s arms! Fans fire up and Gravity brings Juice up. Juice knees low but fans rally for “LUCHA! LUCHA!” Colten tags in and he DROPKICKS Gravity! Colten talks trash but fans boo, so Colten pushes him to rain down forearms! Colten soaks up heat while Collision goes picture in picture.

Collision drags Gravity up while Austin tells fans to “SUCK IT!” Colten bumps Gravity off buckles, keeps him standing up, and then bumps him off buckles again. Tag to Austin and he CLUBS Gravity in the back! Gravity flounders while Austin taunts the fans, then Austin DECKS Gravity! Austin mocks Gravity reaching for his corner, then stomps Gravity down. Austin brings Gravity over, bumps him off buckles and tags in Juice. Juice reels Gravity in for a short arm LARIAT! Juice flexes and stalks Gravity to a corner. Juice wrenches and whips corner to corner, then runs in, but into a BOOT!

Juice comes back, Gravity ELBOWS him! But Juice avoids the Quebrada! Gravity flounders up into a LEG LARIAT! Then Juice BLASTS Metalik just because, and Collision goes to break!

Collision returns as Juice throws Gravity down by his mask! The ref reprimands but Juice just pumps up. Fans rally and duel, Juice stands Gravity up to JAB! JAB! And JAB! LEFT HAND O’ GOD! Austin wants in now? Juice sighs and tags Austin in, and he brings Gravity up. Austin JABS! JABS! And JABS! Fans taunt the ‘ASS! BOY!” as he does his dance and DECKS Gravity! Colten wants in now! Tag to Colten and he drags Gravity up. But then Gravity falls over, so Colten has to get him up again. Gravity falls again, then drags Colten into a cradle! TWO!! Colten swings, misses, hot tag to Angelico!

Angelico rallies on the Gunns and fans fire up! Juice swings, misses, but jumps the sweep only for Angelico to hit the EDDY GORDO! Juice falls, Angelico trips Colten and ties up the legs! Fans fire up but Austin staggers up. Austin swings, but Angelico catches him and hooks him up! COBRA TWIST DEATHLOCK COMBO! White protests, but Juice runs in to stop, and then shout “EAT IT!” LEFT HAND O’ GOD!! Down goes Angelico and the Gunns are free! Juice DECKS Metalik for good measure, too! Gravity is up, Juice run sin but Gravity dumps him out! But then Austin CLOBBERS Gravity! Juice whips Gravity hard into railing!

Angelico sends Austin into Colten, hot tag to Metalik! Metalik springboards to CROSSBODY the Ass Boys! Fans fire up as Metalik whips but Austin reverses. Metalik goes up and around to FLYING RANA! Colten kicks low, whips, but Metalik reverses. Juice tags as Colten goes up and over, and Metalik turns around into 3:10 TO YUMA!! Juice gleefully brings Metalik up, reels him in, JUICE IS LOOSE!! Cover, BCG wins!

Winners: Bullet Club Gold, by pinfall

The Bang Bang Gang managed to shoot at those who outdrew them and are rolling in the Trios Division! White gets a mic to say they’re missing someone. Who? Cardblade! They hurry to get the cardboard cutout of Switchblade and now the whole gang is here! The Collision Cowboys are back, but this time, they’re not emptyhanded, are they? No, this time they’ve got some GOLD~! Fans boo but White apologizes, #GunsUp for Salt Lake City! But this is too easy. Now for “Your Scumbag,” MJF. Fans chant for “M J F! M J F!” but White tells them to hush. Then he tells Max that we need a truly elite champion, and that ain’t MJF.

White also said he would lead by example, so grab a pen and paper to take some notes. First, White is here! He is here with the AEW World Championship, and where is MJF? At home nursing his wounds? Or at Adam Cole’s house to nurse his wounds? Either way, White expected MJF to care, at least a little bit, about Triple B. White expected MJF to at least try and get the belt back. Isn’t this what matters most to him in the world? Example 2: a champion needs challengers! White calls out Hangman Adam Page for Title Tuesday!

And White wants to remind Hangman that the record between them is 3-0, including Forbidden Door 1 when White beat Hangman, Okada and Cole in the same night! So Hangman hasn’t earned a shot, the match will be non-title. What do they call it here? Austin excitedly answers that it’s an Eliminator! Yes, their match can be an AEW World Title Eliminator! But in the end, Hangman will do what he always does: Breathe with the Switchblade, making this 4-0 in White’s favor! So MJF, sit back, relax and take notes, because White has this, and he does it better than you, and everybody knows it!

Fans boo but White says that’s perfect. If you ain’t down with that, they have two words for ya: GUNS UP! White is taking shots at everyone, but will he be the one with some Buckshot in his face on Tuesday?

 

Nick Wayne speaks.

“I’ve known Darby Allin since I was 8 years old. He was like the older brother I never had. And then one day in 2015, you just got up and left. For all those years, when I was 10 to 11 years old, I always wondered, ‘When is Darby gonna come back? When is Darby gonna reach out to me again?’ I did this on my own. It felt like I was in the shadow of Darby Allin. It was always Nick Wayne & Darby Allin, just like it was always Adam (Edge) & Christian Cage.” So for all that time that Darby abandoned Nick, Nick knew the best way to get back at him for that missing time was to join Darby’s biggest enemy.

And in just one week under Christian’s learning tree, Nick realized Christian is the father figure he always needed. And because Darby wasn’t there for Nick, Nick isn’t going to be there for Darby.

 

AEW World Trios Championships: The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn VS The Iron Savages & Jacked Jameson!

The Scissor World Tour continues on from WrestleDream and Dynamite, but runs right into the Savage Sanctuary! Will Dirty Bulk Bronson, Beefcake Boulder and their savage sensei be sipping sauce and wearing gold? Or will they just be the biggest win on the list?

Jameson says they were sipping on Savage Sauce and they want the Acclaimed! They’re gonna flex, fight and EAT DAT A- Wait, what? The champs make their entrances and Max Caster has a diss track response! “Acclaimed in Salt Lake, we the Salt of the Earth. These guys are big, but they small with the girth! Even worse, y’all, we’ll have ya fightin’ for your lives. We smash all three b*tches like a Mormon guy! Iron Savages, you so hazardous. Probably got pinkeye from all the dirty ass you kiss! Yo, we killin’ the game. In Utah, everybody loves The Acclaimed.”

Anthony Bowens takes the mic to say, “SAAALT LAAAKE CITAAAAAY~! The Acclaimed have arrived! SCISSOR ME, DADDY ASS~!” And he does! But Billy wants us to understand, “For the millions (and millions!) of people at home, we have been Trios Champs for…” FORTY-ONE DAYS! The belts are raised, and we see if the scissors are strong enough to cut through all this meat!

The trios sort out and Billy starts against Jameson. Jameson flexes, and dares Billy to show what he’s got. Fans boo Jameson, and sing “OH~ Scissor Me, Daddy~!” Billy smiles and off comes the shirt! Billy is jacked, too! But then Jameson fires hands! Jameson bumps Billy off buckles, tags Bronson, and Bronson throws hands. The ref counts, Bronson brings Billy out and talks trash, but Billy ROCKS Bronson! Billy runs but Bronson runs him over! Bronson fires up, and he sees Daddy Ass’s, well, ass! Billy wants it raw! HIP DROP, then ELBOW DROP! Bronson pumps up, brings Billy around, and “I’M GONNA BUST!”

Bronson swings but Billy dodges, and he runs Bronson over! Fans fire up and Billy tags Bowens. Billy & Bowens double whip to double ELBOW Bronson, then they scissor finger~! DOUBLE ELBOW DROP! Bowens covers, TWO! Bowens waits as Bronson sits up, and he ROCKS him! Bronson ROCKS Bowens, and they go back and forth! Bowens ROCKS Bronson but Bronson kicks low. Bronson whips, Bowens reverses, Boulder tags in. Bronson whips Bowens for Boulder to FLAPJACK! Bronson SENTONS! Cover, TWO! Boulder keeps cool as Collision goes picture in picture.

Bowens bails out but Bronson is on him with a SPLASH! Caster storms up and Bronson backs off, and the ref has Caster back off. Bronson puts Bowens in for Boulder and Boulder CLUBS Bowens down! Boulder TOSSES Bowens to the corner, runs in and ELBOWS him down! Bowens sputters, crawls, but Boulder stands over him. Boulder grabs the hand, bends the scissor fingers, then lets off to taunt Caster & Billy. But Bowens fires off the Five Tool Strike Fest! Only for Boulder to CLOBBER him! Tag to Jameson and he drags Bowens into the drop zone. Springboard KNEE DROP! Tag to Bronson and he drags Bowens up.

Bronson scoops Bowens to SLAM him, then calls his shot. Bronson sets up to STANDING HIP DROP! Cover, TWO! Bronson keeps on Bowens with a chinlock and grinds Bowens down. Bowens fights up, throws body shots, and fires forearms! Bowens runs but Bronson CLBOBERS him! Bronson RAMS Bowens into the corner, tags Boulder, and Bronson whips Boulder in to SPLASH! Bowens falls and Boulder taunts him. Bowens crawls along the ropes, Boulder fires up and runs in, but Bowens dumps him out! Boulder flounders, Bowens crawls, but Jameson grabs a leg! Collision returns to single picture as Bowens ENZIGURIS Jameson down!

Fans fire up as Bowens keeps crawling, but Bronson runs in to SENTON Bowens down! Boulder is back in, he drags Bowens up, and scoop SLAMS! Boulder DECKS Billy for the hell of it, mocking the Ass Man! Fans boo but Boulder has Bowens in a drop zone. Boulder says he’s gonna flip, and gives us a few swivels before he jumps up. BEEFCAKE MOONSAULT FLOPS as Bowens moves! Fans fire up as Bowens crawls again! Hot tags to Jameson and Caster! Platinum Max rallies on the Savages! Fans fire up as Caster CHOPS, SUPERKICKS and Jameson falls! CHOP and SUPER- NO, Bronson blocks! But Caster fireman’s carries!? DEATH VALLEY DRIVER!

Fans fire up but Boulder pulls down the straps! Boulder runs, into a SUPERKICK! Caster fireman’s carries Boulder!? DEATH VALLEY DRIVER!! Fans are thunderous as Caster shows his own savage strength! Caster then goes up a corner, aims and CROSSBODIES Jameson down! Cover, TWO! Caster keeps his cool and he gets the fans rallying again. Caster brings Jameson up but Bronson DECKS Bowens! Bronson gets in, as does Boulder. Caster CHOPS Bronson, BOOTS Boulder, then fires off hands. Caster whips but Bronson reverses, and the Savages DOUBLE SPINEBUSTER Caster down! Jameson covers, Bowens & Billy break it!!

Bronson & Boulder go after Bowens & Billy, Boulder TOSSES Bowens but Billy TOSSES Bronson! Boulder ROCKS Billy, adds Caster, and says he’s gonna get ’em both! But Billy & Caster block the double suplex to DOUBLE SUPLEX Boulder! Billy tells Boulder to “SUCK IT!” Billy & Caster get Boulder into position and Bowens goes up! SHIVER ME TIMBERS~!! Bronson gets up but Billy DECKS him! Jameson staggers up into THE ARRIVAL! Caster goes up, for the MIC DROP!! Cover, The Acclaimed win!

Winners: The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn, by pinfall (still AEW World Trios Champions)

A savage battle indeed, but the Scissor World Tour continues! Who will be next to step up and get cut down?

 

AEW hears from Shane Taylor and Keith Lee.

Big Bad Shaney T says, “Second place means NOTHING in this world. Keith Lee, in 2015 when we teamed up and made The Pretty Boy Killers, that was our goal: to be the very best.” The Limitless One tells “Mr. Taylor, the leader of Shane Taylor Promotions, I have been stuck on something that you said to me. That you would put me in the ground to feed your family. You need to understand something: I am what feeds your family. I’m the one that you think you can make your name with.”

Shane says Keith got the opportunities and thinks Shane is upset about that, but Shane doesn’t give a DAMN about those! What pisses Shane off is that people think Keith is BETTER because of it! Keith says Shane is so sure of himself, which Keith actually applauds. However… This will be Shane’s undoing. “Run.” Keith gives his ultimatum to Shane, will Shane heed his words? Or will he #BaskInHisGlory?

 

“Timeless” Toni Storm VS Kiera Hogan!

The former Outcast has said it herself, she is then, now and forever! She is timeless! But will her time in the spotlight end much sooner than she thinks? Or will The Lightning From Down Under be burned by the Hottest Flame, PERIODT?

Toni gives commentary a script? What? Well, the audience is still “enthralled” like Toni wants. The bell rings and Toni gives Kiera her script? Kiera reads it, and there isn’t a lot there. Well she can do this. NOT! Kiera rips up the script and throws it back at Toni! So Toni CLOBBERS Kiera! Toni stomps Kiera around and fans rally behind her. Toni runs, Kiera goes up and over, then ducks ‘n’ dodges to SLAP Toni! And SPANKS her! Kiera taunts Toni, drop toeholds her to ropes, and HIP ATTACKS! Kiera YANKS Toni down, BUZZSAWS and SUPERKICKS! Cover, TWO! Kiera storms around and brings Toni up.

Toni escapes the scoop to throw Kiera by her hair! Fans cheer as Toni drags Kiera up, and TOSSES her by her hair again! The ref reprimands but Toni brings Kiera up to THROW her by her hair again! Toni says kiss this, and then runs side to side. Kiera avoids the hip attack to CHOP the butt! And CHOP! And DOUBLE CHOP! Toni flounders, Kiera goes up and Kiera CROSSBODIES! Cover, TWO! Toni is still in this but Kiera stalks her to the corner. Fans chant for “TIMELESS TONI!” but Kiera runs in, into a drop toehold into buckles! Toni stomps Kiera to the apron, then runs to HIP WASH Kiera to the floor! Toni even cues us to picture in picture!

Toni goes out to fetch Kiera, and CHOPS her right in front of her fans. Toni thanks the ref before she CHOPS Kiera again! Toni again fusses with the ref before she goes around and CHOPS Kiera against the announce desk! Kiera staggers, Toni keeps on her, and holds up her hand so the fans can all cheer. Toni bops the ref on the head before she runs in, only for Kiera to dodge! Toni hits railing, and Kiera CHOPS Toni’s butt again! And again! Toni scrambles under the ring but Kiera drags her back. Kiera DOUBLE CHOPS the butt! Kiera refreshes the ring count, puts Toni against railing, and CHOPS!

Toni scrambles into the ring, Kiera hurries in, but Toni BOOTS her down! Toni stands on Kiera in the corner, the ref counts, but Toni climbs up to dramatically pose. Then she BANZAI DROPS on Kiera! Toni rains down fists, drags Kiera up, and snap suplexes! Toni is in control as Collision goes to break.

Collision returns as the fans cheer for Toni. Toni runs in at Kiera but into an ELBOW! Kiera then BOOTS, goes up a corner, and MISSILE DROPKICKS! Direct hit and Toni flounders to the other corner. Kiera fires up, says kiss this, and she runs in to steal SWEET HIP MUSIC! And BOOT WASH! Cover, TWO! Toni survives and Kiera grows frustrated. Kiera sits Toni up, runs, but Toni grabs her for a SKY HIGH! Cover, TWO!! Kiera survives and Toni glares at the ref. The ref defends his count, and Toni says, “How dare you!” But Kiera rolls her up! TWO, and Kiera kicks the legs out, to BUZZSAW again! Kiera runs, to hop up and LEG DROP! Cover, TWO!!

Toni is still in this and Kiera pulls at her hair in frustration. Fans rally for Toni but Kiera brings her up. Toni wrenches out, gets around, and BITES Kiera’s butt!! It’s revenge for earlier! Then Toni GERMAN SUPLEXES! Toni’s ready for her close-up! Toni grins and runs in, to SWEET HIP MUSIC!! And then STORM ZERO! Cover, Storm wins!

Winner: Toni Storm, by pinfall

And scene! It didn’t go as Toni wrote it, but sometimes scripts have to be changed for what is possible. Will Timeless Toni still make herself an award-winning leading lady in AEW?

 

Backstage interview with Ruby Soho.

Renee Paquette is with The Runaway and says unfortunately, she lost to Hikaru Shida in their AEW Women’s World Championship #1 contender’s match. Shida goes on to face Saraya on Title Tuesday, so where does that leave Ruby? Ruby says Renee has eyes and doesn’t need glasses, so she could clearly see that Ruby had Shida pinned on the mat, if not for Shida and her fat fingers knocking out the ref. Ruby would be facing her girl, Saraya, for the AEW Women’s World title. But Ruby is not, and she is okay, because she will be ringside- Um, Renee was informed by management that Ruby is banned from ringside.

What? Banned from ringside for that match? Really? Where does that even come from? Well, f-fine, Ruby’s not upset anyway, she’s cool. She’s cool as a cucumber. Because Saraya doesn’t need Ruby. There is a reason Saraya is the AEW Women’s World Champion, and that is because she is the most dominant force in this industry. And she is gonna stay that way after she beats “that freak,” Shida, on Title Tuesday. Will the Knight be able to stop the Samurai without her fellow Outcast? Or will Title Tuesday be even more historic by seeing a THREE-TIME AEW Women’s Champion crowned?

 

ROH World Championship: Eddie Kingston VS Komander!

The Mad King put up both his belts against Katsuyori Shibata at WrestleDream and came out the victor, but the challenges don’t stop coming. The Commander won this opportunity just last night on Rampage, will he add another belt to his own collection? Or will Eddie be the only double champion around here?

The introductions are made, the ROH belt is raised, and we see what happens when champions collide!

The bell rings and fans rally up as the two circle. They tie up, are in a deadlock, and Eddie shoves Komander away. Komander keeps cool, comes back, and they tie up again. They’re in another deadlock, but Eddie shoves Komander away again. Fans rally and duel, the two go again, and Eddie wrenches an arm. Eddie WRINGS Komander, Komander kips up and arm-drags! Fans cheer as Eddie and Komander reset. They circle, rush in, and Komander dodges, but Eddie blocks the Monkey Flip. Komander avoids the chop, rolls but the headscissor is denied! But Komander arm-drags from below! Komander dodges another chop, and fans cheer the standoff.

The two reset again, tie up, and Komander arm-drags! Eddie bails out so Komander builds speed, but Eddie just walks away. Komander stops himself, Eddie comes back but Komander kicks. Komander whips, Eddie reverses but Komander reels Eddie in for an IRON OCTOPUS! Fans rally, Komander drags Eddie down to a GROUND OCTOPUS! Eddie endures, even as Komander pushes the arm back. Eddie reaches out, pushes Komander down and has the ROPEBREAK! Komander lets off quickly and fans rally up. Komander knuckle locks Eddie, CHOPS, but Eddie CHOPS back! Fans fire up as Komander staggers back.

Eddie runs in to clothesline, and then he MACHINE GUN CHOPS! Fans fire up as Eddie then clinches to EXPLODER! Eddie snarls and storms around as Collision goes picture in picture.

Eddie stomps Komander, stomps him some more, then clamps on a chinlock. Eddie grinds the hold, and even pulls back, but Komander endures. Komander headscissors, holds tight as Eddie moves around, but Eddie powers out and CHOPS Komander down! Eddie brings Komander around to suplex, but Komander blocks! Eddie keeps trying but Komander keeps blocking. Eddie powers through to suplex Komander up and over! Eddie snarls, he stomps Komander, then CHOPS him! Komander goes to ropes, Eddie CHOPS him again! Komander dodges a chop to fire body shots and fast hands! Komander ROCKS Eddie!

Komander goes to scoop but Eddie blocks that. Eddie CHOPS Komander in the corner, then HEADBUTTS him down! Eddie brings Komander up in a facelock and he squeezes tight! Eddie grinds Komander down to the mat, but Komander fights up. Collision returns to single picture as fans rally, and Eddie CHOPS Komander down again! Komander roars as he stands back up! So Eddie CHOPS him again! Komander refuses to fall, then he dodges to KICK, ROCK and run! Eddie sidesteps, Komander springboards, TORNILLO CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO!! Eddie is still in this, he ducks a buzzsaw but the HEEL KICK hits!

Komander then RUNNING SHOOTING STARS! Cover, TWO! Eddie is still in this but now Komander runs, to baseball slide dropkick Eddie out of the ring! Fans fire up as Komander goes to the far corner. Komander runs along the apron to FLY over the corner! Direct hit and down goes Eddie! Fans fire up as Komander brings Eddie up and puts him in the ring. Komander climbs the corner now, and fans fire up for the DOUBLE JUMP 450!! Cover, TWO!! Eddie survives and fans fire up! Komander keeps his cool and he resets on the corner. Komander stands but Eddie SLAPS him first! Eddie then CHOPS!

Komander wobbles up top, Eddie goes up but Komander CHOSP! Eddie CHOSP! Komander CHOPS! Eddie fires forearms but Komander gives them back! So Eddie fires HEADBUTT after HEADBUTT! Eddie brings Komander up to SUPER- CROSSBODY COUNTER!! Cover, TWO!!! Eddie survives and Komander is beside himself! Komander watches Eddie rise, then he runs in, but Eddie clinches! URENAGE! Cover, TWO!! Komander survives but Eddie hauls him right up to LARIAT! Cover, TWO!! Komander survives again, and “This is Awesome!” Eddie powers up and the fans are with him!

Eddie brings Komander up, URA- NO, Komander ducks, handsprings, but into another clinch! But Komander spins it to a TORNADO DDT!! Cover, TWO!! LA MAGISTROL, TWO! Eddie has a cover, TWO! URAKEN!!! Cover, Eddie wins!

Winner: Eddie Kingston, by pinfall (still ROH World Champion)

The Mad King is a fighting champion, and is still a double champion! And perhaps best of all, he shows respect to Komander for bringing the fight. But now he knows Jay Lethal is out there wanting his shot, will the former ROH Grand Slam winner get his shot at the crown? And what about NJPW Fighting Spirit Unleashed on the 28th? Will Eddie survive the Face of Fury in Las Vegas?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Rampage!

It may only be Saturday, but AEW already has something planned for next Friday! After the brawl to protect Bryan Danielson, Claudio & Yuta are going to take on The Gates of Agony in tag team action! Will the Blackpool Combat Club put the Mogul Embassy in its place? Speaking of…

BREAKING NEWS for Collision!

With Title Tuesday declaring a new #1 contender, Christian Cage is set to defend his TNT Championship next week here on Collision! Will Captain Charisma be facing the Mogul or the American Dragon this time next Saturday?

 

Adam Copeland is here!

Salt Lake City fires up for the Rated R Superstar as he makes his entrance and gets his pyro! And even after speaking his mind on Dynamite, Edge has a lot to say here after how Christian Cage responded. Edge gets the mic and he tells the fans to give him more. There we go. Before he begins, he wants to point out, JR is on commentary. Jim Ross first signed Edge to a contract, paid his college debts, so he is forever indebted to good ol’ JR. Fans cheer that, and Edge continues by bringing up Dynamite. If you saw it, you know things didn’t go exactly to plan. But Edge just doesn’t get it. He is confused! The whole idea of Edge coming here was to team with Christian again.

You want to see it, right? The fans say yes! Then Edge wants to rewind a bit. This might sound like a fairytale, but for them it is true. For nine years, Edge was told he could never do this again. He was told that if he fell, he could die! But he is standing here in an AEW ring, after a hell of a lot of work and persistence. But hey, it gets better. Because for seven years, Christian was told he could never do this again. And through hard work and persistence, Christian is here in AEW! So Edge just doesn’t understand. When they first started talking about Edge coming here, that was the idea!

But somewhere along the line, Christian got colder. Stopped taking the phone calls. And sure, that’s just Christian, he ain’t the nicest guy in the world. Never has been, and Edge will say it here, “He’s a d*ck.” But again, Edge still loves Christian! They’ve been best friends for 40 YEARS! But when Christian stopped taking the calls, maybe that should’ve clued Edge in. Maybe Edge should’ve known what was gonna happen. Yeah, Christian’s in his Bond Villain phase, Edge gets it. The turtlenecks, the big heavy in Luchasaurus, which makes Nick Wayne the hairless Persian cat he pets in his lap or something. Fans cheer that idea, and even chant “PERSIAN CAT!”

Edge chuckles and then continues, “Not gonna lie, if every time you see Nick Wayne and you do that, I would be smiling.” But Edge says what he’s here for is answers. Edge wants to know what is going on. Edge is highly confused, so Christian, can you please come out here to talk to him? What is up? Edge waits, and the tron comes on. Christian chuckles at “Same ol’ Adam.” He thinks he calls the shots around here. Edge has been in AEW less than a week and he has accomplished absolutely NOTHING. As the TNT Champion, Christian comes and goes as he pleases. As for this request for an answer, that’s not happening tonight.

If Edge wants answers, he’ll get it Tuesday on Dynamite. Fans boo but Christian promises to be there. “The question is… Are you gonna make it?” Christian laughs, and here comes Luchasaurus! The Right Hand of Destruction, and the hairless cat- er, Nick Wayne storm their way to the ring! Fans boo but Nick has Luchasaurus hang back. They flank the ring, and Edge goes for the big one! Edge fires hands, Nick gets in but get a BOOT! Edge then RAMS Luchasaurus off the ring! Nick runs up, into an IMPALER!! Fans fire up as Edge takes aim, but Luchasaurus gets in to choke grip! JURASSIC CHOKE SLAM!!

Fans boo as Edge sputters, and now Luchasaurus is the one taking aim. Edge stands, into the EXTINCTION LEVEL LARIAT!! Edge is down again and fans boo, as Luchasaurus gets chairs! The fans chant “PERSIAN CAT!” at Nick but that doesn’t stop Luchasaurus from putting Edge on one chair and grabbing the other. But here comes DARBY ALLIN! Luchasaurus watches the ramp, but the Relentless One slides in from crowd side! Darby picks up the other chair to SMACK Luchasaurus! Fans fire up as the monster falls out of the ring! Darby glares at Nick but hesitates to hit him. Nick deserves it but Darby also talked about forgiveness once…

Darby sees Luchasaurus get up, swings on him again, and Nick DROPKICKS Darby! Nick gets his shot in and then Luchasaurus SLINGS Darby into the corner! That arm is bandaged and braced, but Luchasaurus pulls all that away! Luchasaurus drags Darby around by that arm, and then Nick sets it up on a chair! Fans boo as Nick gives that arm a CON-CHAIR-TO!!! Darby writhes as his already damaged arm might be broken forever!! And even then, that wouldn’t compare to how Nick broke Darby’s heart. Will Edge make it to Title Tuesday? Will Darby ever make it back? Or is Christian Cage’s crew going to take over AEW?


My Thoughts:

A really good episode for AEW Collision here, with good stuff going into next week and overall. Quite the surprise in FTR losing the tag titles here, but it would seem Cash wasn’t making up stuff about his bad ribs. Sheesh, Mark Davis’ wrist breaks in their WrestleDream match but Cash still needs to take time off. Maybe this will be a sign to AEW, or at least these two teams, that they gotta hold back a little bit if they wanna keep going. But at the same time, this was technically a protected loss, and Starks & Morrissey are great talents. Bill & Ricky have been deserving of titles for some time as individuals, so why not have titles together for now? And this gives Full Gear a solid Faces VS Heels tag title match with The Young Bucks next in line.

Speaking of going too hard, Fletcher damn near concussed himself doing that tope against Bryan. Can’t even say it was on Bryan because Fletcher is so tall yet so fast, Bryan could only do so much. But even then, great showing for Fletcher and big win for Bryan going into Title Tuesday. And clearly, Swerve & The Embassy are worried about Bryan, which is why The Gates of Agony attacked. But good save by Claudio & Yuta, maybe the BCC is on its way back to being Faces here. Bryan VS Swerve is gonna be awesome, Gates VS Claudio & Yuta will be really good, I’m leaning towards a BCC sweep.

Really good Six Man Tag matches tonight, even though it was clear BCG and Acclaimed were each winning. White calling out MJF and Hangman in the same go while pretending to be the “real” AEW World Champion, is this a veiled jab at CM Punk? I’m mostly joking but it’s not unlike AEW to be weirdly petty. And I think that was the raunchiest Trios match in all of AEW history, with the scissoring, the sauce, and the ass. But I would hope that with the interaction of Acclaimed and MJF on Dynamite, and how BCG will want all their titles, that means MJF ends up in an uneasy alliance with The Acclaimed to protect all their interests. Maybe even make it a huge title match for Full Gear, like a historic 8 Man Winners Take All scenario.

Really good promo from Shane and Keith, can’t wait to see that match. Great match from Toni Storm where she tries to script it all, which is also some good meta for how pro-wrestling is scripted. Lots of ass centric things in this match, too, actually… But Toni of course wins to build the momentum of “Timeless” Toni. Good promo from Ruby to help us understand she won’t be ringside for Saraya. So either Saraya cheats on her own, or maybe, just maybe, there’s a new outcast? Not sure how that’d work but it isn’t impossible given WWE cut people recently. But as I said the last couple of shows, I don’t really see Shida winning her historic third title reign on TV, even if it is Title Tuesday.

Great ROH World title match from Eddie and Komander, and a little surprised Alex Abrahantes wasn’t here. Eddie of course won, his real story for this title is Jay Lethal. And great closing stuff from Edge, Christian and everyone else connected. Nick’s promo earlier was good, and definitely helped plug how he and Darby were both gonna get involved tonight. The Heels stand tall to put all the pressure on the Faces, which is good story telling in pro-wrestling. Edge will of course make it to his in-ring debut on Tuesday, and maybe Sting gets involved again given his part at WrestleDream. Definitely thinking we get a Six Man Tag before we get Christian VS Edge at Full Gear.

My Score: 8.7/10

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 says ha ha, more bald jokes. Ricochet waistlocks, the fans chant, “He Has Hair!” but Ricochet hammerlocks and snapmares to then ghost pin, TWO! Ricochet taunts Angelico that this is professional wrestling, not modeling. Angelico trips Ricochet to cover, ONE! Angelico has a cording hold and he keeps Ricochet from the ropes. Ricochet wrenches, but Angelico gets the cording hold back! Ricochet endures, reaches out, but Angelico arm-drags him to the mat!

The fans cheer more, but Ricochet kips up. Angelico wrangles him back down! Ricochet claws at Angelico but Angelico polishes the bald head! The fans cheer and Angelico keeps on the arm. Ricochet fights up again, but Angelico wrangles him back down! Angelico gives Ricochet more polish, then stands him up to wrench and cording hold. Ricochet throws a body shot, flips up and over, but Angelico switches arms for a modified Cobra Twist! Angelico holds up his hand and the fans cheer, but Ricochet fights free and bails out. The fans boo but then Angelico sneaks up to clamp on shoulder claws!

Ricochet fights back, and he THROWS Angelico to the floor! Ricochet skins the cat, then TORNILLO PLANCHAS! Ricochet takes down Angelico, taunts Serpentico, then goes storming off to grab a chair! Ricochet chases off #SNAKEMAN, and Collision goes picture in picture.

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! Angelico survives and Collision returns to single picture. Ricochet storms his way to a corner while the fans boo.

Ricochet aims and 450- NO, he has to bail out as Angelico moves! Ricochet comes back but Angelico dodges again, Ricochet hits only buckles! Angelico swings, Ricochet dodges and shoves to TIGER WALL KICK! And SOBAT! KNEE! But Angelico KNEES in return! Ricochet rebounds to V-TRIGGER! ROLLING- NO, Angelico clinches for a LIFTING FLATLINER! The fans fire up while both men are down! A standing count starts, Ricochet and Angelico stir, and they rise at 5 of 10. Angelico counters a punch and then fires haymakers! Angelico whips, Ricochet reverses, but then Ricochet catches the leap!

Angelico fights Ricochet’s clinch with elbows, then whips, but Ricochet reverses, Angelico LEAPING LARIATS! And LEAPING LARIATS again! The fans fire up and Angelico storms up to Ricochet. Angelico whips, Ricochet reverses, but Angelico reverses back! COBRA TWIST, and the HEAD SLAPS! The fans fire up as Angelico just takes Ricochet to task! Ricochet sputters and staggers around, Angelico kicks and Canadian Racks! YOYO SLAM, into a hammerlock and HALF CRAB! Ricochet endures, reaches out, but Angelico gets the other arm! Ricochet kicks with his free leg and has the ROPEBREAK! The fans boo but Angelico lets go.

Ricochet goes to the apron, Angelico storms up, but Ricochet HOTSHOTS him! And then FLICKS the ropes at Angelico to hit down low! Ricochet then springboards and FLYING LARIATS! The fans boo but Ricochet runs for a STANDING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, TWO! Ricochet just keeps going, dragon sleeper for the VERTIGO!! Ricochet rolls back, locks ‘n’ loads, and SPIRIT GUN!! Cover, Ricochet wins!

Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall

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!! The fans cheer as Zach snatches the scissors from Ricochet!

The fans cheer as Zach asks what is wrong with Ricochet! Ricochet says sorry, sorry! But then he KICKS Zach’s leg out! And then SPIRIT GUN!! The fans boo even more but Ricochet isn’t done with Zach. 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?

 

8 Man Tag: The Don Callis Family VS The Outrunners, Bandido & AR Fox!

Don Callis himself dared Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd to find a friend so they could settle things with Roppongi Vice and the Family, but the Outrunners did better than that! They found TWO friends! Will the Most Wanted ROH World Champion and the Whole Fox’n Show help the Youngest Men Alive humble Callis’ cronies? Or will Trent Beretta, Rocky Romero, Lance Archer & Kyle Fletcher use them to take out all of their frustrations?

Callis of course joins commentary while the teams sort out. Callis calls tonight “Don Callis Championship Wrestling,” and says Detroit boos him and his Family because it is a city of losers. Kyle Fletcher starts against Bandido and the fans fire up. Kyle and Bandido circle, the fans rally up more, and they tie up. They go around, Kyle puts Bandido on the ropes. The fans rally for Bandido and he dodges the chop to CHOP! Kyle swings, Bandido dodges and headlocks. Kyle powers up and out, Bandido RAMS him, but Kyle rebounds to RUN Bandido over! Kyle flexes, the fans boo, but then Turbo flexes and the fans cheer.

So Kyle BOOTS Turbo off the apron! Kyle runs, Bandido dodges, hurdles, but Kyle leaps over. The fans tell Callis off while things keep moving. Bandido slips around to tilt-o-whirl RANA! And then DROPKICK! Kyle falls against ropes, Trent tags in, and Trent CLOBBERS Bandido! The fans boo, Trent rains down fists, and the ref reprimands. Trent stops to tag in Rocky.

Truth survives the onslaught, but Rocky wrenches an arm. Tag to Kyle and Kyle KICKS then arm! Kyle mocks Truth reaching out for his corner, then stomps Truth down. Kyle stalks Truth to the ropes, mockingly holds Truth’s hand out, then scoops and SLAMS him in a snap! Kyle taunts Bandido, then he brings Truth up. Truth fires hands, but Kyle scoops and SLAMS again! Collision returns to single picture and he BLASTS Truth’s corner! Bandido avoids the shot and shouts at Kyle!

Kyle taunts Bandido, but Truth fires hands! The fans fire up but Kyle BOOTS Truth! Kyle suplexes, but Truth counters with a cradle! TWO, and Kyle is up, only for Truth to juke! Hot tag to Bandido! Kyle kicks but Bandido deflects and waistlocks. Kyle switches, shoves and runs up, but Bandido SUPERKICKS! Bandido goes up, up, and TORNILLOS! Down goes Kyle and he bails out! RPG Vice attack Bandido from behind! RPG Vice double whip, Bandido grabs ropes and he BOOTS them back! The Outrunners are in and they stereo ATOMIC DROP! RPG Vice tumble up and out of the ring! Archer runs in, Bandido holds the ropes down, but Archer doesn’t fall for it!

Archer ROCKS Bandido, but the Outrunners DUMP him out! The fans fire up as the Callis Family regroups by the ramp. Fox returns, and he coordinates with Bandido! Whip and pop-up, SUPER CANNONBALL!! The fans fire up as Fox hits a strike! And then The Outrunners form a staircase! Bandido runs to step, step, and ESCALARA CONJILO!! The fans are thunderous as Bandido puts Kyle in! The Outrunners set Kyle up and then wind it up! “Turbo Floyd! You sonova b*tch!” HANDSHAKE DOUBLE ELBOW DROP! Fox adds a SWANTON BOMB! Bandido adds a FROG SPLASH!! Cover, The Family breaks it!

Trent shouts that no one will ever disrespect them again! Will Callis’ pack of jackals devour anyone and everyone that stands in their way?

 

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?

 

Anthony Bowens w/ Billy Gunn VS Lee Johnson w/ Blake Christian!

The Pride of Pro-Wrestling is ready to prove he’s worthy of all the opportunities before him, but that means having others step to the plate. #BigShotty thinks he can get a hit off the 5 Tool Player, but will he be able to go yard? Or will he just get Molly Whopped and sent back to the dugout?

The bell rings and the fans rally behind Bowens. Bowens and Lee tie up, Bowens wrenches and wristlocks, but Lee wrenches back. Bowens slips through, wrenches and hammerlocks, then he spins and snapmares Lee to an Oklahoma Roll! TWO, and Bowens tries a cradle, TWO! Lee is up to headlock back, but Bowens powers up and out. Lee goes up and over, baits Bowens into a waistlock, but Bowens switches. Lee switches, then he shoves Bowens! “You’re nothing!” The fans boo and Bowens scowls. Lee talks more trash, but Bowens CHOPS Lee off his feet! Bowens stalks Lee to a corner, CHOPS again, and the fans “WOO~!”

Bowens CHPOS again, and again, and again! Bowens then stomps a mudhole into Lee! The ref counts, Bowens steps off at 4, and Bowens apologizes. Lee bails out, Bowens pursues, and Lee tries to apologize. But then Lee bumps into Daddy Ass! Lee looks and sees Billy, apologizes to him now, but Bowens ROCKS Lee! Bowens whips Lee hard into barriers and the fans fire up! Bowens puts Lee in the ring, but Lee kicks low! Lee eggs Bowens on, whips, but Bowens hurdles and mule kicks! Front kicks! FAMOUSER! The fans fire up and Bowens wrenches to lift Lee, SWING OUT FACEBUSTER! Cover, ONE?!?

Billy is annoyed, but then Blake gets on the apron! Bowens backs the Vanilla Babyface off, but then he dodges Lee’s sneak attack! Bowens fireman’s carries, Lee slips free and shoves Bowens to ropes. Billy wants after Blake but the ref keeps him back. Bowens ELBOWS Lee away, but Blake swipes at him! Lee then DUMPS Bowens out! Bowens staggers up, Lee FLIES, and he gets just enough of Bowens to take him down! Then Lee and Blake mock the scissor fingers! The fans boo but Lee puts Bowens in the ring. Lee reels Bowens in, suplexes, but Bowens slips free! Bowens shoves Lee away, runs up, and he blocks the boot! But not the ENZIGIRI!

Lee SUPERKICKS Bowens, runs, but into the Rock, Paper, Scissors, SUPERKICK! The fans fire up and Bowens shows them how it’s done! He puts up the scissors, then shouts for his shot! But Blake gets on the apron! Bowens grabs Blake, Lee rolls Bowens up with tights, TWO!! MOLLY WHOP!! Cover, Bowens wins!

Winner: Anthony Bowens, by pinfall

Blake tried to tip the scales, but then he also storms into the ring! Billy gets in Blake’s way and Blake backs up. Blake  “apologizes,” but then he takes a swing! Billy stops that and TOSSES Blake out! Billy says “SUCK IT!” Bowens grabs a mic to tell Detroit, “What you just saw was the Pride of Professional Wrestling! The perfect combination of power, athleticism, intelligence, the look, and The It Factor. And I am in a really good mood, so y’know what? Billy, throw ’em up! Detroit, throw ’em up! 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?

 

The Gates of Agony are here!

Detroit cheers as Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona walk out to the ring, but they grab mics so they can talk. Kaun calls out Bryan Keith & Big Bill. “You think you’re gonna walk through these Gates unscathed, unburned, and redeem yourselves in the eyes of Chris Jericho?” The fans boo and Kaun says, “Hell no, Paradise has to be earned. And these Gates right here? They’re gonna stop you in your tracks.” Liona says, “And this time, we’re not doing it in a parking lot! Y’know why? Because we’re in Detroit! Why not do this right here, right now!?” The fans cheer and Liona tells Big Bill & Bryan Keith, you heard the people! Get out here and fight!

The shirts come off, and here come the Redwood & Bad Apple! They go right to the ring and the brawl is on! The fans fire up as Bill has Kaun and Keith has Liona! Bill hammers away on Kaun in a corner, Liona ROCKS Keith, but Keith roars! Keith runs, only for Liona to LARIAT him down! Bill BOOTS Liona down! Bill goes out after Liona, but then Keith LARIATS Kaun and himself up and out of the ring! Bill and Liona brawl, Linoa shoves Bill into railing and CLUBS him! Keith and Kaun brawl on the floor, Liona SMACKS Bill off steel steps! Liona fires up, the fans are torn, and Liona runs in, only for Bill to send him into railing! In fact, Liona goes over the railing!

Keith staggers but Kaun keeps after him. Kaun brings Keith to the ramp but Keith elbows free! Keith runs but Kaun fireman’s carries! SAMOAN DROP down through tables!! Fans lose their minds, and somehow Liona is up! Liona and Bill now brawl on the stage, even as security and producer Kevin Matthews try to stop this! But there’s no stopping it, and Bill BOOTS Liona! Liona wobbles, but then he roars! Liona SPEARS Bill off the stage and down through tables!! The fans lose their minds all over again! The Gates and the Branches are down around ringside, is the Learning Tree impressed watching this at home?

 

AEW hears from Anna Jay & Harley Cameron, as well as Penelope Ford & Megan Bayne.

The Queenslayer says, “Megan, you really like to pick fights, huh? I don’t care how big you are, how hard you hit, I will wrap my arms around you and make you sleep!” The Superbad Girl says Anna has been gone a long time, and the Megasus says things have changed. There is a new animal in this jungle, and having a pure heart, fat ass and good friends isn’t gonna cut it. But the wild Aussie tells the Megasus, “I bet your back is blown out after the fight that I brought last night!” Anna says don’t say it like. Ford tells Harley to stop hiding behind Anna’s fat ass already. Ford & Megan want them to fight and learn that mercy is the one thing they never mastered.

Harley shouts that she and Anna will SLAY THE MEGASUS, and all will FEEL THE WRATH! And so BREAKING NEWS for Beach Break Collision! Anna Jay VS Megan Bayne will happen next Saturday when Collision returns to TNT!

 

Willow Nightingale VS Kris Statlander!

Former friends, bitter enemies, and now maybe somewhere in between, the Babe with the Power and the Galaxy’s Greatest will battle 1v1 once more! But will we truly see she’s a #BornAgainKristen when this fight helps her make amends with Willow? Or will nothing Kris does matter, and Willow will smile anyway?

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! Anna hops onto Harley and they head to gorilla! Will Anna prove she’s the Star of the Show? Or will Dynamite still be Timeless?

AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator Fatal 4 Way: Toni Storm VS Penelope Ford VS Thunder Rosa  VS Anna Jay!

The bell rings and Anna goes right at Ford, still wanting to settle scores from the past few weeks! Rosa and Toni stay back a moment, still allied as ThunderStorm/ThunderTits. Ford and Anna go to the outside, and Anna sends Ford into railing! The fans fire up, and now the friendly rivals tie up. Toni headlocks, Rosa powers up and out, but Toni runs her over! Things keep moving, Rosa ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl RANA! Rosa DROPKICKS Toni, Ford sends Anna into steel steps, and Rosa runs to DROPKICK Toni against ropes! Cover, TWO! Ford gets in there to whip Rosa, but Rosa dodges, arm-drags, and lateral presses! TWO!

Ford is up but Rosa scoops her for a SLAM! Rosa then rallies the fans, runs the ropes, but Ford avoids the splash Rosa belly flops and Ford runs up to wheelbarrow! Victory roll, but Rosa rolls into the ropes! Ford runs to DROPKICK Rosa! Cover, Anna breaks it! Anna pushes Ford into the ropes, stands her up, and ROCKS her! Anna runs up, avoids the shoulder from Ford, and KNEES her in the ropes! And LEG LARIATS, then HOTSHOT NECKBREAKERS! Anna drags Ford to a cover, Toni breaks it! The fans cheer and Toni fires forearms on Anna! Toni ROCKS Anna, reels her in, FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, Ford LOW BLOWS Toni!

The Superbad Girl is naturally the first to use the No Disqualification rules and the fans boo. Toni tumbles out, Ford throws Anna out to join her, and then Ford ASAI MOONSAULTS! Direct hit and the fans fire up, but now Rosa climbs! Ford has Toni & Anna, Rosa SUPER CROSSBODIES onto them all! La Mera Mera wipes out all three weras and the fans are thunderous! Rosa rises again as Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Rosa stomps Anna, drags her up, and SMACKS her off steel steps! Toni stands, she and Rosa call truce, and Rosa drags Ford up while Toni goes for Anna. Ford fires forearms on Rosa, Toni sends Anna into barriers, and Ford CHOPS Rosa. Toni CHOPS Anna! Toni then kicks Ford, CLUBS her down, and Rosa helps out. ThunderStorm mugs Ford, then puts her in the ring. They drag Anna up, scoop for the BACKBREAKER and LEG DROP! Rosa covers but Toni stops her! Toni covers, but Rosa stops her! They argue, Toni kicks low, and then Toni TOSSES Rosa! Toni goes back for Ford, headscissor squeeze!

Ford endures but Rosa returns. Toni apologizes but Rosa grabs her for a headscissor squeeze! Now Toni endures, but Anna is back! Anna grabs Ford’s legs, powers up, and she turns the chain over! Ford endures multiple submissions, but Toni is still stuck between Rosa’s legs! Anna can’t hold on any longer, she lets go and everyone is separated! Anna and Rosa stand to fire forearms while Ford and Toni go to corners. Anna ROCKS Rosa, Rosa ROCKS Anna, and then they both fire up! They both run, and DOUBLE FOREARMS knock them both down! Toni rises, but so does Ford, and now they start trading shots!

Dynamite returns to single picture, the fans cheer Toni and boo Ford. Toni gets the edge and the fans fire up! But Ford takes a swing! Only for Toni to catch her in a GERMAN SUPLEX! Rosa returns to KNEE Toni down! Anna rises but Rosa is on her first! Rosa CHOPS, then whips, but Anna grabs ropes! Anna ELBOWS Rosa back, then BOOTS her! Rosa falls, the fans rally and Anna covers, TWO! Anna snarls, but then Ford yanks Anna down! They brawl on the outside, Anna ROCKS Ford and snap suplexes her to the floor! Anna rises, but she has to duck Rosa’s dropkick! Rosa and Anna brawl outside, and Rosa DDTS Anna to the floor!

The fans fire up and Toni is back. ThunderStorm regroups, but Ford is up top! ARIHARA MOONSAULT!! Ford wipes out the ThunderStorm and the Star, and Detroit cheers because that was legit! Ford puts Anna in, Anna goes away to a corner, and “This is Awesome!” as Ford handsprings in! Anna dodges, then runs up to LEG LARIAT! Toni runs to SPLASH them both! Ford & Anna sit down, Toni keeps moving, and she says kiss this! SWEET HIP MUSIC for two! Then she sets up for Rosa! Rosa runs up, THUNDER IN MOTION DROPKICK! Ford takes the shot, then ThunderStorm reels her in!

Ford fights the suplexes, and here comes Megan Bayne! It was only a matter of time before The Megasus made her presence known. Megan storms into the ring, Rosa runs up, but Megan BOOTS Rosa down! Then she LARIATS Toni! The fans boo as Megan eggs Rosa on. Rosa rises, into the FLYING LARIAT! Megan smirks, but Anna is up! The fans fire up as Anna steps to Megan, but then Megan dodges a shot to fireman’s carry! Anna slips free and fires forearms! The fans fire up, but Ford CLUBS Anna! Anna gest mad and DECKS Ford! But then Megan LARIATS Anna! Megan hauls Anna up, reels her in, and lifts her up, BAYNE BOMB!

BUT HERE COMES HARLEY! And she has a lead pipe! She dodges Megan, LARIATS Megan up and out, abut then Megan drags her out! Harley dodges and JAMS Megan up! And CLUBS her on the back! Harley keeps after Megan with that equalizer and the fans are thunderous! Harley runs Megan off to the back, only for Ford to have Anna in the MUTA LOCK!! But Toni runs up to LOW BLOW Ford in return! The fans fire up as Toni now locks on the T C M!! Ford TAPS, Toni wins!!

Winner: Toni Storm, by submission (denies her opponents a title opportunity)

Toni’s Classic Move gets the job done, and Rosa shows respect with the secret handshake and chest bump. The Timeless AEW Women’s Champion is 12-0, but will she be ready for whoever comes out of Arizona as the Queen of Harts?

 

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! Ricochet talks trash, runs the ropes, but Briscoe ducks ‘n’ dodges!

Ricochet BACKDROPS Briscoe on return but Briscoe lands on his feet! Briscoe reaches out but Ricochet waistlocks! Briscoe breaks free and PELES Ricochet! The fans fire up as Ricochet falls!

Bailey brings Matt up, hits a FALCON ARROW into the drop zone, then he goes up the corner!

Nick hurries over to anchor Bailey but Bailey BOOTS him away! Matt bails out, so Bailey FLYING RANAS Nick onto Matt! The fans fire up as The Bucks both fall down! 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!

Swerve and Ricochet each kip up, Ricochet CHOPS Briscoe while Swerve BOOTS Nick! Then Ricochet dodges Swerve to DOUBLE STOMP! Briscoe clinches for an EXPLODER! Then he gives Nick an EXPLODER!

Winners: Ricochet & The Young Bucks, by pinfall

Swerve is as shocked as anyone! After all the chaos, it was a technical move that ends this! Ricochet brags that he still has Swerve’s number! Will nothing stop The One & Only from being as elite as The Elite? The, THE Elite?

 

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
