That’s right, Renee Paquette & RJ City are here to discuss, analyze and predict the action for this big Dynamite on a special night!
Buy-In – ROH World & NJPW Strong Openweight Championships, Winner Takes All: Eddie Kingston VS Minoru Suzuki!
The Mad King continues to reign with two crowns, but now he’s up against the King of Pancrase! Will the Meanest Man in the World take two titles in one night? Or will Eddie still be the double champion?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who sets the pace for Title Tuesday!
The bell rings and fans rally up as these two men stare down. Eddie brings a strap down, then the other, he’s getting serious already! Suzuki smiles and lets Eddie have the first shot. Eddie CHOPS! Suzuki CHOPS! Eddie CHOPS! Suzuki CHOPS! Eddie sputters, but he comes back to CHOP! Suzuki winds up to CHOP! Eddie scowls, CHOPS, but Suzuki CHOPS! The CHOPS go back and forth, harder and harder, and then Eddie fires a flurry of CHOPS! Suzuki just laughs them off and the fans fire up! Suzuki eggs Eddie on so Eddie SLAPS him!

Fans fire up as Eddie is dazed but sits back up. Suzuki smiles and brings Eddie up to ROCK him again! Suzuki won’t let Eddie fall this time, either! Suzuki DECKS Eddie again!

Fans rally, Suzuki roars, and Suzuki winds up to ROCK Eddie! Eddie wobbles, sits down, but he looks up at Suzuki. Eddie flips Suzuki off! Suzuki BENDS that finger! Eddie CLUBS Suzuki but has to still go for the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Suzuki lets off and he scares the ref away. Suzuki storms back over to Eddie, drags him up, and Suzuki ROCKS him! Eddie CHOPS! Suzuki ROCKS Eddie! Eddie CHOPS!
Suzuki kicks, runs, but Eddie CHOPS again! Suzuki staggers from that one! Eddie fires up and fans are with him as he goes to the corner, MACHINE GUN CHOPS! But Suzuki just snarls and steps into the chops! Eddie CHOPS again, and again, and again! Suzuki backs down and Eddie reloads to MACHINE GUN CHOP! But Suzuki’s rage helps him power through! So Eddie CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! Suzuki eggs Eddie on, Eddie CHOPS again! And again! We’re in another corner, for more MACHINE GUN CHOPS!! Suzuki swings, but Eddie catches him to an EXPLODER!

As for Suzuki, he staggers his way back into the ring, and he walks his way over to Eddie. The two stare down as fans chant for “SU-ZU-KI!” The two nod, and Suzuki applauds Eddie. Fans cheer that, but then Suzuki SLAPS Eddie! So Eddie SLAPS Suzuki! And then they hug it out! Eddie raises Suzuki’s hand in respect, when and where will we see Suzuki back in AEW?
Tony Khan & Tony Schiavone are backstage.
AEW’s duo of Tony & Tony are here, just moments away from the official start of Title Tuesday Night Dynamite, but they have some news to share. Unfortunately, not happy news. It’s a big night, but the AEW medical team cannot clear Jon Moxley at this time. Moxley is on a great track of recovery, but he is not 100%, so he cannot compete for the International Championship. However, there will still be an International Championship match as Rey Fenix defends the title. But before TK can announce who it’ll be against, #OrangeHook walks in! Hook says it has to be Cassidy, right? He never got his rematch.
TK agrees there, that is a great idea. What does Cassidy say to Title Tuesday? “Uh, I guess.” Well, if he’s not sure- No no no, he’ll take it! Happy Birthday, by the way. Have a Dorito. Oh, thank you. TK takes a chip, and eats it! But will Cassidy use this rematch to get back to former glory?
Christian Cage speaks.
Captain Charisma opens the main show from the production truck, and says, “This is without a doubt the biggest AEW Dynamite ever, Title Tuesday! And how fitting is it the first thing that you see is the biggest star in this company, the TNT Champion, Christian Cage.” And speaking of his title, there is a match with big implications for it here tonight, Bryan Danielson VS Swerve Strickland to name a #1 Contender to be the man that faces Christian this Saturday night on Collision. Christian says he’s fine if it’s Swerve he faces because Swerve left a bad taste in Christian’s mouth when Swerve cost them that casket match at All In London!
As for Bryan Danielson, “a little birdie told” Christian that Bryan still fancies himself the best wrestler in the world, but the TNT title says otherwise! And in the main event of Dynamite, Christian’s Right Hand of Destruction, “the most complete big man in the business today,” Luchasaurus will end the run of The Rated R Superstar before it even begins. And before then, Christian might have to go out there in front of the live audience to elaborate on those three words he told Adam Copeland last week. And as the Face of TNT and Warner Brothers Discovery, Christian has secured the first thirty minutes of Dynamite being commercial free. “You’re welcome.”
Now one of you production a-holes, start the show! Y-Yes, sir… The opening video rolls, who makes it through an explosive Dynamite?
AEW TNT Championship #1 Contender’s Match: Bryan Danielson VS Swerve Strickland w/ The Mogul Embassy!
We just heard the champion’s opinions on both men, but only one man can be THE #1 Contender! This is a first-time-anywhere showdown, will the American Dragon slay the Mogul? Or will Kansas City, Missouri be whose house?
The bell rings and the two stare down. Fans fire up as the two approach, and they knuckle lock. They go around, go shoulder to shoulder, and then Swerve pushes down on the knuckle locks. Bryan rolls back, reverses pressure, and then drags Swerve down to push him to a double knuckle lock cover. TWO, Bryan pushes the arm down, ONE as Swerve puts the other arm up. Bryan pushes that arm down, ONE as Swerve bridges. Both men stand up, go around, and Swerve hooks a leg. Swerve pushes Bryan back but Bryan bridges!

Bryan saves himself and Swerve bails out, nana panicking just a bit. Bryan hits a FLYING KNEE from the apron! Fans fire up again and Bryan hobbles his way over. Fans are thunderous as Bryan puts Swerve in and climbs up the corner.
Bryan aims as Swerve stands, MISSILE DROPKICK! Direct hit and both men are down! The fans rally, Bryan rises, and he aims to KICK! KICK! KICK! And KICK! Fans fire up with each shot, “YES! YES! YES!” BUZZSAW! Cover, TWO! Swerve survives but Bryan drags him up. Bryan bumps Swerve off buckles, to then CHOP! And KICK! And CHOP! Then he whips corner to corner, but Swerve reverses. Bryan goes up and over, keeps moving, ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Swerve KICKS low! Bryan tumbles out and Swerve builds speed to handspring up and out! But Bryan dodges and slides back in, to build speed and DIVE into a haymaker!
Swerve pulls Bryan from the apron and “This is Awesome!” as Swerve suplexes Bryan into a Tree of Woe. Swerve then goes up the other side and Nana says to kick Bryan’s face in! Swerve is up top, for WOE STOMPS to the apron! Those were almost Swerve’s own Kill Stomps but maybe even more dangerous given the landing. Swerve puts Bryan in and Nana says time to go on to Collision! Swerve climbs up again, reloads, and KILL- NO, Bryan manages to roll back! HALF CRAB! Fans fire up as Bryan pulls on that leg! Swerve endures, reaches out, moves around, but Bryan drags him back into a HEEL HOOK!!
Swerve endures, kicks at Bryan with his free leg, but still has to go for the ROPEBREAK! Bryan lets off, then drags Swerve from ropes. Fans duel as Bryan goes up the corner. But Swerve UPPERCUTS first! Swerve climbs up, but Bryan holds onto ropes! Swerve still goes to the very top, but Bryan slips under and shoves Swerve!

Swerve is shocked that Bryan survives! But wait, Nana throws off his headband and his jacket while distracting the ref! Swerve grabs the headband, the bedazzled crown! He wants to do Bryan like he did Hangman at WrestleDream! WAIT! Hangman runs up from the crowd to SNATCH that crown! Swerve is pissed but turns around into- NO, he catches Bryan! But then Bryan victory rolls! TWO!!!
Swerve escapes, swings, misses, and the BUSAIKU KNEE!!! Cover, BRYAN WINS!!
Winner: Bryan Danielson, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the AEW TNT Champion)
The Cowboy gets revenge for WrestleDream and now the American Dragon is coming for Captain Charisma! Will Bryan prove HE is the better father when he becomes the Face of TNT? Or will Christian always have something up his sleeve?
Samoa Joe speaks.
“Hello. My name is Samoa Joe, ROH Television Champion, King of Television, and soon to be AEW World Champion. This Saturday at Collision, I begin my road to championship gold. This Saturday at Collision, I show the world why I am violence manifest, domination made flesh, why I am the man who goes out there and takes anything he wants from anyone he wants to. This Saturday at Collision, I begin my ascension towards greatness.”
Chris Jericho VS “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs w/ Don Callis!
Just when The Ocho thought he’d gained ground in the fight against his traitorous and slimy former friend, Don Callis’ “family” got a whole lot bigger and stronger! Hobbs helped demolish the Demo God last week, will he do it again on Title Tuesday? Or can The Wizard overcome the Powerhouse and avenge Kenny Omega?
The bell rings and fans rally up for Jericho. Jericho rushes in and fires off fists! Hobbs hits back, backs Jericho down, but Jericho hits back! They throw hands but Hobbs CLUBS away on Jericho! Hobbs whips Jericho corner to corner, runs in but into a BOOT! But then Jericho runs into a SPINEBUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Jericho survives the slam that Hobbs has put many a man away with, but Hobbs just grins and chuckles. Fans boo Hobbs and Callis but Hobbs rains down fists on Jericho’s head. Fans cuss out Callis and he acts like he doesn’t know why. Hobbs whips to SPINEBUSTER again! Hobbs tells Jericho to get up?
Hobbs paces, drags Jericho up, and then SPINEBUSTERS again!! Hobbs soaks up the heat as fans boo, and Callis likes what he sees as Hobbs hauls Jericho up again. “Anybody can get it!” Hobbs HEADBUTTS Jericho down! Jericho rises and fires hands, but Hobbs CLUBS him down! Hobbs stalks Jericho, drags him up again, for another SPINEBUSTER!! That’s four, but Hobbs doesn’t bother pinning Jericho here. Hobbs again says “Anybody can get it!” Callis wants Hobbs to hurt Jericho, so Hobbs drives knees into Jericho’s side.

Winner: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, by pinfall
Jericho’s Lionheart held out much longer than anyone expected, but it couldn’t last forever against such a formidable foe. Is Hobbs the key to the Don Callis Family taking over AEW?
Wait, Hobbs isn’t done! He scoops Jericho for a third WORLD’S STRONGEST SLAM!!! Fans boo as hard as they can as Callis and Hobbs grin. If anybody can get it, who will be the next to get it?
Adam Cole is still over at Roderick Strong’s house.
They and The Kingdom are in the backyard and Cole says he’s been over at Roddy’s for an entire week. He really has to get his surgery so what else does Roddy need him to do? Could he mow the lawn for him? Mow the lawn? Taven and Bennett should- Nevermind, Cole will get on it. Taven says do it now, but Roddy adds “please.” And so, with one good leg and his “knee rover” scooter, Cole mows the lawn. Roddy shouts over the mower engine that Cole missed a spot. Cole will get it on the return lap! Somehow, someway, Cole finishes and says he’s gotta go to wash up, too. No, Roddy has something for him in the house.
And so, Cole ends up wearing his own “Neck Strong” shirt to match the others. Looking sharp! Thanks… But what is with this giraffe? You mean “Rick Strong,” Roddy’s get-well-soon gift? Clearly, Cole didn’t get Roddy anything, even though Roddy got him that scooter. Besides, the giraffe is the “most neck strongiest animal” in the world. You ever see them fight? They swing their heads around like this. Okay, okay, Cole is sorry he asked. But Cole’s been meaning to ask Roddy, it’s a bit weird there’s no cell service or even a television here. Cole’s been wanting to watch AEW to see what MJF is up to.
Roddy says it is not weird. It keeps them engaged on the present, and TV is the DEVIL! It is the absolute devil! Uh… Okay… But Cole really has to get going so he can get surgery on his foot. Seriously, it is long overdue. He will keep them posted. But Roddy says he needs one more thing. Cole sighs, when is enough going to be enough?
AEW International Championship: Rey Fenix w/ Alex Abrahantes VS Orange Cassidy!
The Immortal Firebird took down a battered Jon Moxley to win this title, but Moxley took this title off a battered Freshly Squeezed. Now Cassidy gets his rightful rematch, but will he once again be a great champion in AEW? Or will nothing stop Fenix from blazing his own trail?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if either man breaks the “curse” on this title!
The bell rings and the two rush in! They fire forearms and CHOPS back and forth! Fans fire up as Cassidy gets the edge and just fires off! Fenix wobbles, Cassidy runs, but Fenix LARIATS! And LARIATS! Cassidy dodges, but Fenix victory rolls and steps through to deadlift, but the back gives up! Cassidy whips, Fenix holds ropes and then sidesteps to CLUB Cassidy, and then Fenix goes right up top! Tightrope PENALTY KICK! Cover, TWO! Cassidy sits up into a SUPERKICK! Fenix goes up another corner, and FROG SPLASHES! Cover, TWO!! Cassidy survives this fast ‘n’ furious start from Fenix and fans rally up.

Fenix tumbles out of the ring, Cassidy goes out after him, and whips Fenix into railing! Cassidy whips Fenix into more railing! Fenix tumbles up and over and fans fire up! Cassidy storms out after Fenix, tosses him back to ringside, then storms after Fenix to POST him! Fenix pushes Cassidy away but Cassidy CHOPS! Cassidy POSTS Fenix again, then refreshes the ring count. Cassidy puts Fenix in, but Fenix baseball slide dropkicks in return! Cassidy stays up, Fenix goes to the apron, but Cassidy FLIPS Fenix! Fenix hits the apron then floor!
Cassidy puts Fenix in while fans rally up. Cassidy climbs a corner, but Fenix SHORYUKENS! Fans rally as Fenix grits his teeth and stands. Fenix tucks Cassidy in, fans duel, but the back won’t let Fenix lift Cassidy. Cassidy BOOTS Fenix, and hits DEEP IMPACT!! Cassidy keeps moving, tilt-o-whirl DDT!! Cover, TWO?!? Fenix survives but Cassidy throws off the elbow pad! Fans fire up as Cassidy locks ‘n’ loads, to ORANGE- SUPERKICK to the arm! Fenix somersaults, but the back stops him short! Cassidy Alabama Lifts, BEACH BREAK!! Cover, TWO!?!? Fenix survives again but Cassidy juts reloads!
Fenix stands, into ORANGE PUNCH!!! And then the MOUSE TRAP! CASSIDY WINS!!
Winner: Orange Cassidy, by pinfall (NEW AEW International Champion)
Justin Roberts adds “once again” to it, because that’s true! Cassidy once again holds gold, and orange confetti flies! Cassidy is almost in awe, but then Penta El Zero Miedo is here. He checks on his brother, but also looks at Cassidy. Rocky Romero, Hook and Best Friends are also there to celebrate with Cassidy, will all these friends of Freshly Squeezed join him in being a great champion?
Backstage interview with “Timeless” Toni Storm.
There’s a black ‘n’ white filter as RJ City is with Toni, and she’s critiquing his stance. Tonight, she’s ready for her closeup, but what does that mean exactly? Toni says the problem with tonight is that there has not been enough cinema! So Toni took the liberty of making her own short film, which she has entitled, “Lover’s Lament.” And don’t worry, like all great films, it is a silent picture! Because who needs the noise when we have… the faces?! Play the picture! PLAY IT.
The film roles while we’re picture in picture, so it really will be silent. “Act 1” starts with Toni in her flat, waking up from a nap almost. She sees she’s alone, and is rather flustered. She hurries off screen, only to reappear from the other side. So she keeps going, but keeps going in circles. She settles down, sees the time, and jogs in place? Is this her doing cardio in her apartment? She seems to pantomime getting things out of her way. Is she in a rush to get somewhere? She seems to be imagining herself on a busy city street, calling for a taxi, but no taxi will pick her up. Guess she couldn’t afford to get a green screen for such things?
Anyway, Toni continues her one woman show, showing some leg to get a driver’s attention. Then she apparently just throws the driver out to take over his car! Toni drives herself to wherever she’s going, fixing her hair at the same time, only to swerve in and out of traffic and slam on the brake. Toni arrives at wherever, hurries in, and then barges into a room, exhausted. And scene! AEW goes to break.
Wardlow VS Matt Sydal!
The War Dog returned last week and he demolished Griff Garrison with powerbomb after powerbomb! Will he do the same to Third Eye Reborn? Or will that third eye help Sydal see a way out of Wardlow’s World?
The bell rings and Wardlow RAMS Sydal into a corner! And again, and again, and again! Fans cheer on “WARD~LOW! WARD~LOW!” POWERBOMB!! Sydal writhes, but Wardlow hauls him back up! POWERBOMB!! And then another POWERBOMB!! The hattrick isn’t the end of it, Wardlow reels Sydal back in! POWERBOMB!!! The ref calls it there, Wardlow wins!
Winner: Wardlow, by referee stoppage
This time it only took four! And then Wardlow storms off to exit through the crowd, also like last week. Will Wardlow stack more bodies on his way back to prominence?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
Renee is with The Ocho and a trainer, hoping for an update after the brutal loss to Hobbs. But Daniel Garcia walks over to ask if Jericho’s alright. Renee isn’t sure, Jericho couldn’t even make it to the trainer’s room. Matthew Menard now asks Garcia what he’s doing. Garcia is being human, he is checking on someone they used to care about. Yeah, Menard gets that, but he’s also had just about enough. They’re better than this, Garcia. They’re better than this. Menard storms off and then Garcia follows. Are the former members of the Jericho Appreciation Society better than this? Or is it Garcia who is seeing things right?
(Supposed) AEW World Title Eliminator: Jay White w/ Bullet Club Gold VS Hangman Page!
The Switchblade literally stole Triple B from MJF, and now claims he is the REAL AEW World Champion. As such, he claims this is a World Title Eliminator, where if The Cowboy wins, he gets a title match. Well, obviously it wouldn’t matter either way since MJF is the real champion, but will Hangman at least shut White up with his first win in their personal rivalry? Or will White prove this is still his era?
Well, while White wears the AEW World Championship, his Bang Bang Gang roll up in adult sized Big Wheels. These guys really are just the playground bullies, aren’t they? Anyhow, the bell rings and the BCG are all fired up. White has them calm down and stay on one side of the ring. Then he says it’s been awhile since he and Hangman have seen each other. White reminds Hangman that it’s 3-0, and that zero won’t change. And Hangman is never taking this title from White, either. Hangman says it’s not his to begin with. White SLAPS Hangman! White taunts Hangman, the two circle, and then White bails out.
Fans boo as White gun fingers with his boys, then goes back to the ring. White steps in, ties up with Hangman but Hangman puts him in a corner. The ref counts, Hangman lets off, and White SLAPS him again before bailing out! Fans boo but then Hangman PLANCHAS White! BCG gets mad but the ref tells them to stay back. Juice still says that’s a foul, but Hangman CHOPS White! The ref gets out to tell BCG to behave, and Hangman SMACKS White off the apron as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Hangman encourages the fans to get louder, then he puts White in the ring. White crawls but Hangman stalks him. hangman CHOPS White in the corner, CHOPS him again, then follows him to another corner, for another CHOP! White CHOPS back! Hangman snarls but White CHOPS again! Hangman still snarls, so White RAMS into him again and again! And then CHOPS! White whips but Hangman reverses to run in. White dodges, Hangman BOOTS him down! White sputters while Hangman stands over him. Hangman storms around, stalks White to the apron, and then drags him up. But White HOTSHOTS back!
White hurries in, but Hangman CHOPS! And CHOPS! White is in the corner, Hangman whips him corner to corner, but White reverses! White runs in but into another BOOT as Dynamite goes to break.
Dynamite returns again White CHOPS! And CHOPS again! White CHOPS again as Hangman is in the corner, then he snapmares into a chinlock! White taunts Hangman but Hangman fights up. White CLUBS Hangman, Hangman ROCKS White, and they go back and forth. White blocks a boot to DRAGON SCREW! White air guitars to mock Hiroshi Tanahashi. White drags Hangman up, suplexes, but Hangman blocks! White keeps trying, but Hangman still resists so White CHOPS! But Hangman suplexes! White slips free but Hangman CHOPS! And ROCKS! And CHOPS! Hangman whips, White reverses but Hangman fireman’s carries to DEATH VALLEY DRIVER!
Both men are down and fans fire up! BCG shout for White to get up, he and Hangman stand, and hangman CHOPS! And ROCKS! And CHOPS again! Hangman whips again, but White reverses to ROCK Hangman! White runs, into a scoop! FALL AWAY SLAM! And Hangman kips up! Hangman hobbles but runs, to SHOOTING STAR! Cover, TWO! White survives and fans rally up as Hangman shakes out his leg. Hangman storms after White, brings him up, and whips. White holds ropes, bails out, and fans boo again. Hangman aims to PLANCHA, but White moves! Hangman wipes out! White hurries up, but Hangman POP-UP APRON POWERBOMBS!!
Hangman hauls White up and into the ring, but White flounders. Hangman hits a POP-UP SITOUT BOMB! Cover, TWO!! White survives and BCG breathes easy again. Hangman rises up, he drags White up, but White leans against him. Fans fire up for “COWBOY SH*T!” as Hangman Alabama Lifts. But White CLUBS the legs to get free! White then has a leg, but Hangman fires forearms! But White CLUBS the leg, then CORNER HALF HATCHES! Hangman slumps to the apron and White goes out after him. BCG rally behind White as he brings Hangman up, and even hooks the leg! APRON KNEE BREAKER!!!
Hangman writhes, BCG mock his pain, but the ref tells them to stay back! The Gunns defend they haven’t moved an inch! Hangman clutches his knee while White refreshes the ring count, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
White hauls Hangman up to APRON GOURD BUSTER! White pushes Hangman into the ring, covers, TWO!! Hangman hangs tough and White grows frustrated but the fans rally up. White drags Hangman back to the apron, and he SLAMS that leg on the edge! The BCG cheer, the ref reprimands, but White SLAMS the leg again! And then ROCKS Hangman with a right! And then pulls on the leg! The ref reprimands, White lets off, and he shoves Hangman back in. White grabs the legs but Hangman kicks away on him! White GROUND DRAGON SCREWS the bad leg! And then steps through, TRAILER HITCH!!
Hangman endures the inverted figure four, crawls around, and he reaches out! White thrashes as much as he can but Hangman still drags him along to the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, White lets off at 4, and is beside himself. White storms up, pushes Hangman to a corner, and then hoists him up top. White climbs up behind Hangman, but Hangman resists the lift! They brawl, Dynamite returns to single picture, and White ROCKS Hangman! White is on the outside now, climbs back up, but Hangman throws body shots! Hangman HEADBUTTS White, then goes to the very top! Fans fire up for the SUPER BLOCKBUSTER SUPLEX!!
Both men are down and fans are thunderous! Hangman clutches that bad leg, but “This is Awesome!” as the standing count starts. Both men stir, and Hangman is up first at 6 of 10. White flounders, sputters, reaches out in a daze, but Hangman hobbles over. Hangman brings White up but White claws the eyes! The ref reprimands, White lets off, and fans boo as White scurries away. White comes back, blocks a boot, and hits a KNEE JAMMER! Then clinch and URENAGE! Cover, TWO!! Hangman is still in this but White won’t stop there. White clamps on the sleeper, and he drags Hangman up. Ripcord and CHOP!
Hangman ROCKS White! Then ROLLING ELBOWS! White falls, and Hangman goes to the apron! Fans fire up as Hangman locks ‘n’ loads, but White runs in! White blocks the boot to DRAPING DRAGON SCREW! Hangman writhes, White pushes him to the apron, and then White drags Hangman up the corner. BCG cheer but Hangman fights the clinch! To HOTSHOT White down! White flops to the floor, and Hangman goes around the way. Hangman climbs?! TO ARIHARA MOONSAULT!!! Direct hit but Hangman hobbles again! Hangman puts White back in, fans are fired up for “COWBOY SH*T!”
Hangman locks ‘n’ loads, but White goes to the far side. Hangman grumbles, steps back in, but White storms up. COMPLETE SHOT! And deadlift GERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!! White holds on, he drags Hangman up again but Hangman ELBOWS free! But White CHOP BLOCKS Hangman down! SNAP SLEEPER SUPLEX!! But Hangman’s up to LARIAT!! Both men are down and the fans are thunderous again! Hangman drags himself to the apron and fans rally as he stands up. BUCKSHOT- NO, the bad leg!! But then Hangman stops the Bladerunner to DEADEYE!! But BCG bark and shout at the ropes like the rabid animals they are!
The ref tells BCG to stop, Hangman gets the cover, TWO!?!?! That delay must’ve saved White there! The ref argues with Juice & The Gunns, but NANA is here?! CROWN- NO!! Hangman stops that and CHOKES Nana! But White rolls Hangman up with tights! WHITE WINS!
Winner: Jay White, by pinfall
Hangman screwed Swerve out of his title shot, so Swerve had Nana screw Hangman out of his! Well again, Hangman wasn’t really going to get a shot since White isn’t the real champion, but it’s the principle. Nana runs for the hills, will Hangman beat him down for this? As for BCG, they celebrate, but wait! Here comes the TRUE AEW World Champion! Maxwell Jacob Friedman storms out, has the music cut already, and he paces on stage. MJF tells the SOB White to look at him! White wanted a title match under the bright lights at Full Gear? Well he’s got it! You’re welcome! Now give MJF back Triple B!
Fans cheer but White has a mic now. Fans chant “GIVE IT BACK! GIVE IT BACK!” White says okay, hold on. He just took it to 4-0 against Hangman, please repeat that. No, not MJF. White wants to hear from J A Y! But hey, hey, shoosh. Fans boo but White says hey now! Hey! “Your Scumbag wants the Triple B? You want The Bang Bang Belt?” Fans tell J A Y to S T F U! White shrugs and says as he was gonna say yes to it, but now the answer’s no because they’re so rude. Fans boo but White says blame the fans. MJF says okay, okay, okay. He’ll be the bigger man here. MJF knows White better than White knows himself, because MJF was White.
In fact, in many ways, MJF isn’t still that far off, but Lord knows he is trying. And MJF knows that White doesn’t give a damn about anybody else. White will do whatever it takes to get what he wants. White will use people, abuse people, and manipulate people. In fact, those guys standing around him that he claims to care about? Deep down, White and MJF both know White could give LESS than a sh*t about any of them! White is just using them to get where he wants to be, and MJF would know because that is out of the MJF playbook. But unlike White, MJF wakes up and does the hard thing. He wakes up and tries to be a better man. That IS hard, and MJF hates it!
But deep down, MJF knows it is worth it, because for the first time in his life, he doesn’t look in the mirror and punch out the reflection. For the first time in his life, he has earned the people’s respect! Fans cheer that! MJF tells White that there are two things in this life he cares about: Adam Cole who is out injured and needs two surgeries, that is MJF’s cross to bear, as if this wasn’t enough; and then there is the title White holds, calling it just a belt. “My friend, that ain’t just a belt. That is my livelihood! That is my legacy!” Fans cheer that! MJF says when you win the AEW World title, that makes you THE BEST in the GADDAMN World!!
Now White, MJF hates your guts. In fact, if the BCG wasn’t out there with him, MJF would’ve broken White’s legs and his neck, and just taken back what is MJF’s. However, MJF doesn’t let that cloud his judgment. He knows how talented White is, that is next level and elite. Some day, White will join the exclusive club of truly being an AEW World Champion. However, that day is NOT today. Understand? So MJF will ask White to do the hard thing for once in his life, do what MJF has done, and dig deep to be a man, show some dignity and respect. Not to MJF, but to the sport, to AEW and to the FANS! Give MJF back what he has not yet earned!
The BCG laughs at MJF and White says “Oh, I haven’t earned this, huh?” MJF just wants it back? How is that earning? But at least he asked face to face rather than jumping him from behind in that cute little devil mask. But MJF is just asking! Does MJF not know how this works? MJF just said, he has to earn it! He has to win it! In a match! And they have a match, November 18th, Kia Forum, Full Gear! So be patient, MJF will get his chance and fail. But Max, White says if MJF can’t wait, then come on down and take the belt. But something tells White that with the “five” of them (he’s including Cardblade) and no goon squad for MJF, he won’t come on down.
But hey, if MJF can find three people that can even just tolerate him, they can have a 4v4 with the Bang Bang Gang! And if MJF’s team wins, then he can get the Bang Bang Belt back. Juice says before Friedman leaves, Juice heard through the grapevine that next week, there is a Dynamite Diamond Dozen Battle Royal, for a shot at that stupid ring MJF still cares about! So throw Juice’s name into that hat, he’ll win the match, and then he’ll whoop MJF’s ass to take that ring! Then BCG will have everything that idiot loves! And when that’s done, Juice will give MJF a “little present,” something he’ll really like! Juice even has it wrapped!
Juice brings out a roll of quarters with MJF’s name on it. Ten dollars worth, and do you know what he does with it? He breaks jaws! So after they ruin MJF’s career and his life, Juice will put these quarters in his fist- MJF shouts that if Juice comes near him with those quarters, he will end Juice’s life, “you PIECE OF SH*T!” Juice’s favorite trump card being the same thing MJF’s childhood bullying trauma stems from, clearly Juice doesn’t care what it triggers in MJF. White says this goes to everyone. If you ain’t done with this, they’ve got two words for ya: GUNS UP! But with the challenge put to MJF, who will join him in the fight against the Bang Bang Gang?
Toni Storm presents: Lover’s Lament, Act 2.
Again in picture-in-picture, Toni’s character has revived and is organizing her things. She seems to rehearse, or perhaps pose for pictures. Hard to say without even silence film subtitles. Storm throws off her jacket to then kiss whoever this other person is…? But then they make the wrong move and she slaps them around, and even HEADBUTTS them! Ow that one hurt. Storm calms down again, talks it out with this lover, then comes closer to the camera as she says she loves this person. She kisses them more, but someone says she’s needed on set. That actually has subtitles, too. Storm hurries out of her “dressing room,” and scene as AEW goes to break.
AEW Women’s World Championship: Saraya VS Hikaru Shida!
The Knight has had this title since All In London and her victorious homecoming, but now she faces the Shining Samurai! Shida is chasing history with the chance to become a THREE-TIME Women’s World Champion, will she take Title Tuesday to new heights? Or will this still be Saraya’s title and still her house?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is truly the strongest warrior!
The bell rings and fans rally up as the two step up. Saraya eggs Shida on, pushes her, and calls her a loser. But Shida fires off forearms! Saraya gets in the ropes, the ref backs Shida off, but Saraya kicks low. Saraya bumps Shida off buckles, then talks more trash before she fires forearm after forearm! The ref counts, Saraya lets off with a roar, but Shida turns things around to fire off on Saraya! Fans fire up, Shida stomps Saraya and then whips corner to corner. Saraya reverses, runs in, but Shida sends her into buckles. Shida runs in to KNEE Saraya! Fans fire up and Shida climbs up. Saraya slips away, though, thinking she’s clever, only to turn around into an ENZIGURI!
Saraya tumbles out of the ring, calls for Ruby but she forgets, there’s a ringside ban on Ruby! Saraya is upset and storms around on the outside. Shida waits, but Saraya returns at 5 of 10, only for Shida to jump on her! Shida rains down forearms, Saraya turns it around to throw forearms of her own, but Shida turns it back around! Fans fire up as Shida rains down shots, but then Saraya gives them back! Saraya howls, the ref reprimands about closed fists, but Saraya tells the fans to shut up. Saraya rushes in but Shida gets around to CLUB her and torture rack! Saraya endures, then Shida THROWS Saraya down!
Shida drags Saraya to the apron and runs in, to KNEE LIFT! Fans fire up with Shida but someone creeps up in a mask and sweater! They have a spray paint can! Shida grabs that hand, and unmasks the person! It’s RUBY! Fans boo and Ruby apologizes, but Shida SPRAYS Ruby!! Ruby’s all green like her hair now! Ruby scurries away, and Storm runs out to CLOBBER her with a shoe! Fans cheer as Toni slaps and smacks Ruby around, then DUMPS her over the railing! Toni chases Ruby off into the night, still using the shoes! But then Saraya RAMS Shida into barriers! The fans are fired up for all the madness as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Saraya RAMS Shida into more railing, then she storms up to stomp Shida. The ref reprimands and counts, Saraya lets off and drags Shida up to RAM into steel steps! Shida snarls and grits her teeth but Saraya brings her around to snap suplex to the floor! Shida writhes and Saraya soaks up the heat as she stalks Shida. Saraya drags Shida up, RAMS her into more railing, and then snatches a Shida fan sign to rip it up and throw it away! Saraya refreshes the ring count, then smiles as she stalks Shida. Shida hits back but Saraya CLUBS Shida down. Saraya puts Shida in, stalks her, and then drags her into the ropes.
Saraya steps out onto the apron, to fire KNEE after KNEE into Shida! Saraya howls, shoves Shida in, and then frolics around to soak up the heat. Saraya has the arms, and she stands on Shida’s hair to PULL! The ref reprimands, Saraya lets off, and Shida staggers to ropes. Saraya pulls Shida against the ropes in a motorcycle stretch, but lets off at 4. Saraya brings Shida around to ROCK her! And again! Shida hits back as Dynamite returns to single picture, and fans rally as they go back and forth! Saraya roars, but Shida fires off a flurry! Shida ROCKS Saraya, but Saraya kicks low! Saraya runs, Shida dodges and KNEES Saraya down!
Saraya flounders to a corner, Shida climbs up on her, and fans fire up as Shida rains down fists! Shida goes all the way to TEN, then goes past it for a total of TWENTY! Fans cheer more as Shida then kicks Saraya, aims and MISSILE DROPKICKS! Cover, TWO! Saraya hangs tough and bails out but Shida goes up the corner again. Shida drags Saraya up to the top! Fans rally, but Saraya throws hands! Saraya hops down to CLUB Shida, then pulls on an arm! Shida stops Saraya once but Saraya ARM-DRAGS Shida to the apron! Shida then falls to the floor, and Saraya has a sinister look on her face.
Shida drags herself up to the apron, Saraya runs in but Shida ROCKS Her first! And then APRON GERMAN SUPLEXES!! Saraya falls to the floor, and Shida hits a METEORA!! Shida puts Saraya in, runs, TAMASHII!! Cover, TWO!!! Saraya survives but Shida roars! Shida takes aim, Saraya sits up, KATA- NO! Saraya blocks, trips Shida, and then steps through!

Saraya pulls out the spray paint to SPRAY Shida!! And then KNIGHT CAP!!! Cover, TWO?!?!? Shida survives again?!? Fans are thunderous and Saraya is pulling at her hair! Saraya argues with the ref but the count was fair! Fans chant “HOLY SHIDA!” as Shida sputters to life. Saraya says she just needs one more time. Saraya drags Shida up again, reels her in, but Shida fights the lift to FALCON ARROW!! Cover, TWO!! And Saraya has it! TWO, Shida has it back!! SHIDA WINS!!
Winner: Hikaru Shida, by pinfall (NEW AEW Women’s World Champion)
Saraya is most shocked of all, because now Shida has made history! THREE-TIME SHIDA reigns! The red and white confetti flies, and Saraya is distraught! Will the third time be the charm for the Shining Samurai?
BREAKING NEWS on Jericho’s condition.
Given all the damage done to Jericho’s ribs by Powerhouse Hobbs, Jericho has been taken to a hospital to determine the full extent of the injuries with X-rays. Has Don Callis and his family already won the war with Jericho?
BREAKING NEWS for Christmas!
One MILLION dollars worth of AEW toys will be donated to Toys For Tots!
BREAKING NEWS for Rampage!
We already know of The Gates of Agony VS Blackpool Combat Club given their interaction last Saturday, but now add Skye Blue VS Emi Sakura; The Hardy Party VS Daniel Garcia, Matthew Menard & Angelo Parker in a rematch from Collision; and Jay Lethal VS Trent Beretta, Team Triple J and Best Friends at ringside!
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
Firstly, it will have a special earlier start time of 7 PM Eastern! And as we learned, it will be Christian Cage VS Bryan Danielson for the TNT Championship! Will Captain Charisma still be the Face of TNT? Or will he fail to slay the American Dragon?
Don Callis speaks.
“Another abomination, another travesty perpetrated on the Don Callis Family, we made history tonight and I requested 10 minutes to talk about it, and I was told I don’t have any time. But don’t worry, I’ve got a back-up plan.” So as Dynamite goes picture in picture, Callis uses the Sammy Guevara cue card technique! Callis adds some red ink to what he’s got, and reveals it is a sketch of his hand JABBING the screwdriver into Kota Ibushi, with the red ink of course being blood, but also the word “KOROSU” (Japanese for “Kill”). Callis and his Alpha nod, then Konosuke Takeshita holds up his cards.
“Hobbs DESTROYED Kenny Omega. He then DESTROYED Chris Jericho.” Callis makes sure to underline “destroyed.” “The Don Callis family sis here to exact REVENGE. And… that revenge is far from over. Sammy Guevara will be back. You will PAY for what you did to him.” Konosuke then rips that card, and smiles as Callis whispers something to him. When and where will this even stronger, even meaner Don Callis Family finish their revenge?
Backstage interview with MJF.
Renee says she was trying to catch up to him all night, not an easy man to find today. A lot is going on for him, from White stealing Triple B to Juice’s words about quarters. What is going on with MJF right now? MJF says the old him would be flipping out on her right now. But he’s just not in the mood to be interviewed. He wants to call Cole and get some advice. Renee says okay, and takes her leave. MJF gets his phone out and hopes Cole will pick up. The phone rings, and Cole picks up! Can he hear MJF? Yeah, man, what’s going on? Where the hell has Cole been? MJF’s been trying to reach him for days!
Cole apologizes, he’s still stuck at Roddy’s. Roddy needs more help because he’s injured. MJF rolls his eyes and says HE needs Cole’s help. MJF is being attacked left and right by Bullet Club Gold, they stole Triple B, apparently Samoa Joe wants another shot, and Juice opened up some old wounds. Cole asks if MJF can hear him but the signal is going out. Roddy’s house is in the middle of nowhere. The call drops! But then The Acclaimed walk over. Caster says they couldn’t help but hear all that. And there was also that challenge about White & BCG VS MJF and three others, so if MJF hasn’t found anyway, maybe they could team with him?
MJF grabs his ROH World Tag title and walks away. Caster wants to follow MJF but Billy has him hold on. One, when did Caster decide he can just offer up the Acclaimed’s services? Right, sorry. And two, what is Caster’s infatuation with that yahoo? Bowens agrees, MJF is sus, dude. Caster wants them to understand, they started together, Caster’s known MJF for 10 years now, and he’s a friend. MJF doesn’t have many friends but Caster always thought of him as a friend, so… Maybe he could use their help? Plus, Caster likes when MJF plays hard to get. Right? Right? Bowens & Billy sigh, but MJF has until Saturday. Will he cave and call upon The Acclaimed?
Adam “Edge” Copeland VS Luchasaurus w/ Christian Cage!
The Rated R Superstar has his first match in AEW, and it is against the Right Hand of Destruction of the man he thought was his friend. Captain Charisma told Edge to GFY, and he also opened tonight to explain why, which is why he has a mic now. Fans boo but Christian tells Kansas City to keep the noise down while he conducts business. Fans boo more but Christian says, “You should be happy that you have a champion that you can be proud of in your midst. Because unlike your Kansas City Chiefs, I don’t need extra help to get my wins.” Now it was apparent last week he left our jaws on the floor after what he said to the Rated R Superstar.
Christian also knew it from how he left Edge with his junk in his hands and that stupid look on his face that he’s seen a million times before. So Christian found it interesting that Edge said Luchasaurus & Nick Wayne were gonna turn on Christian when they got all they needed, based on Edge’s own experience. The difference between them is, Christian didn’t take some ragtag group, dress them up like it’s Halloween and convince them they’re tough guys. Edge tried to be their leader, Christian is their father! And Christian laughed when Edge came out with his rara speech of getting the team back together to have all these dream matches to finish their careers together.
It’s funny because that same sentiment wasn’t there a few years ago. Fans chant “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” but Christian says the sentiment wasn’t there when he was being held back, even though he was clearly the more talented of the two while Edge got pushed to the moon. Why didn’t Edge wanna get back together then? Where were the tag team aspirations then, huh? And how times have changed. As Edge is on a downward slope, Christian’s climbing to new heights, as he is the hottest star and most talked about star in this business! Edge came here under the guise of wanting to get the team back together, when the truth is, Edge NEEDS Christian, but Christian does NOT need Edge.
But Christian won’t blame Edge for being a fan. Christian has lots of fans all over the world. In fact, Beth is a huge fan! Fans boo Christian bringing the wife into it. But Christian says he’s getting bored, so he’ll let Luchasaurus end Edge once and for all. And take solace in the fact that Edge’s little girls will be well taken care of. Beth, Christian knows you’re watching. Put some clean sheets on the bed, your new father is coming home! But here comes Edge! He rushes down the ramp, but Christian bails! And then Nick Wayne crawls in to anchor Edge!? Luchasaurus BOOTS Edge, and EXTINCTION LEVEL LARIAT!!
Fans boo as Christian’s crew gets the jump on Edge and the ref has to hurry in. The ref checks with Edge given that neck being a well-known injury. Edge is conscious but dazed, and the fans rally up to give Edge the strength! Edge feels that energy, he throws the jacket off and roars to his feet! The bell rings, and Luchasaurus SPLASHES! Luchasaurus fires off shots, then short arm LARIATS! And then scoops to TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER!! Cover, TWO?!? Edge survives but Christian watches from the ramp. Luchasaurus looms over Edge and then DECKS him! Luchasaurus brings Edge up to CLUB him back down!
Fans taunt “PERSIAN CAT!” Nick Wayne but Luchasaurus RAMS Edge into a corner. Edge falls over, but Luchasaurus hauls him back up. Luchasaurus CHOKES Edge but fans rally up. The ref counts, Luchasaurus lets off, to then dig his boots in! The ref counts again, Luchasaurus lets off again, and Edge sputters. Luchasaurus hauls Edge up to whip corner to corner hard and Edge falls! The ref tells Nick to stay back, and Luchasaurus drags Edge up. Luchasaurus scoops to SLAM Edge, and Edge writhes as Luchasaurus looms over him. Luchasaurus stands on Edge’s face, steps away, then drags Edge up again.
Luchasaurus UPPERCUTS Edge, but Edge comes back to ROCK Luchasaurus! Fans fire up but Luchasaurus ROCKS Edge! Edge ROCKS Luchasaurus! Both men staggers, Edge runs to ROCK Luchasaurus! But then Luchasaurus TOSSES Edge to fire off fast hands! Edge leans against ropes, Luchasaurus storms around, and then drags Edge back up for a deadlift suplex! Edge flops to ropes but Luchasaurus storms over. Luchasaurus drags Edge up to CLUB him down! Fans rally but Luchasaurus CLUBS away on Edge’s chest! Edge falls over again and fans boo, but Luchasaurus drags Edge up. Christian is watching but still seems tense.
Edge fires forearms! And more forearms! And again and again and again! Edge runs, but into a BOOT! Edge flops out of the ring and Luchasaurus roars as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Christian takes a deep breath as he watches Luchasaurus bring Edge up to RAM into railing! Nick is also enjoying this as Luchasaurus stands Edge up to CHOP back down! Edge sputters, Luchasaurus refreshes the ring count, and then he CLUBS Edge down! Luchasaurus tosses Edge into the ring, looms over him, and then stands him up to wrench and back suplex! Christian nods, this is going to plan as Luchasaurus stands on Edge’s face. Luchasaurus drags Edge into a neck wrench! Edge endures and pries at Luchasaurus’ hands. Fans rally up, Edge bends the fingers and Luchasaurus lets go! But then Luchasaurus KICKS Edge in the side!
Luchasaurus storms up to CHOKE Edge on ropes! Luchasaurus lets off, Edge sputters, but then Luchasaurus puts Edge on ropes to CHOKE him again! The ref counts, Luchasaurus lets off again, to then dig his boot in! The ref reprimands, Luchasaurus lets off, and Dynamite returns to single picture. Luchasaurus bends Edge against ropes, but lets off as the ref counts, sending Edge tumbling out of the ring. Nick sneaks up on Edge, to POST him! Fans boo but the Persian Cat gets away with that. Christian is proud of Nick, though, and Luchasaurus goes out to position the steel steps. Luchasaurus puts them on their side, then drags them around the way.
Edge is in the ring, but Luchasaurus goes to the apron. Edge stands, Luchasaurus choke grips! But Edge fights free! Fans fire up as Edge dropkicks the legs out! Luchasaurus falls to the floor, Edge leaps, FLYING DDT!! Both men are down and fans fire up again! Luchasaurus crawls away but Edge pursues. Edge climbs up the corner, fans fire up, and Edge CROSSBODIES to the back! Fans fire up again as both men are down in the ring! Christian is concerned now and a standing count starts. Both men rise at 4 of 10 and Edge fires shots! Luchasaurus swings, misses, and Edge ROCKS Luchasaurus! Edge runs, into a HEADBUTT!
Luchasaurus choke grips again but Edge goes for the arm! Luchasaurus powers out to choke grip, but Edge powers out of that to hit an IMPALER!! Fans are thunderous again as Edge pushes Luchasaurus to a cover, TWO!!! Luchasaurus survives and Christian breathes again. But Edge hobbles up, goes to a corner and climbs! But Luchasaurus BOOTS Edge right down! Fans boo but Luchasaurus climbs the corner and he drags Edge up to join him. Except Luchasaurus moves to aim for the steel steps! Edge fights for his life with body shots, then he turns things around on Luchasaurus!
Edge fires off CLUBBING shots, and fans count all the way to TEN! Edge then stands on the very top, brings Luchasaurus up with him, SUPER DUPER PLEX!! Both men are down and the fans fire up! Christian is freaking out as the standing count climbs! Both men sit up at 5 of 10, and fans are thunderous as both men stand at 8! Edge aims from a corner, but Christian storms back to ringside! That distracts so Nick can wedge a chair into a corner! Edge runs in, Luchasaurus hurdles and Edge hits chair!! Then JURASSIC CHOKE SLAM!!! Cover, TWO?!?!? Edge survives and no one can believe it!!
Luchasaurus snarls, prepares his hand again, but Edge dodges! DOUBLE BOOTS take both men down! Fans rally up for Edge again as he rises. Luchasaurus goes to the apron, Edge BACKHANDS him! And haymakers! And backhands! Edge CLUBS the arms, runs, but Luchasaurus catches him! And drags him out to the apron! But Edge hits an EDGE-O-MATIC on the apron! Luchasaurus hobbles away, Edge gets back up, and Edge runs in to jump off the steps, FLYING SPEAR!!! Fans are thunderous and Christian can’t believe it! Edge rises, puts Luchasaurus into the ring, and he resets in the corner!
But Nick distracts the ref! Christian rushes down, but Edge blocks the belt shot, to BELT SHOT Luchasaurus! Then he tosses the belt back to Christian, and he CLOBBERS Nick! The ref sees Christian and asks what he’s doing here! Christian defends his innocence, but Luchasaurus turns around and sees Christian with the blet! Luchasaurus thinks Christian hit him from behind, but Christian defends he’d never do that! Luchasaurus turns around, into a SPEAR!! Cover, EDGE WINS!!
Winner: Adam Copeland, by pinfall
The Rated R Superstar got the better of Christian, but Nick CHOP BLOCKS Edge! Fans boo as Nick stomps away on Edge, and then Luchasaurus joins in! But BRYAN DANIELSON CLOBBERS Christian! And he fires off on Nick & Luchasaurus! Luchasaurus BOOTS Bryan! Christian gets in to stomp Bryan, but here comes the BCC! Yuta & Claudio go after Christian, Nick and Luchasaurus, it’s a brawl! Christian CHOKES Bryan but Claudio CLOBBERS Christian! And now the Gates of Agony rush out to go after Claudio & Yuta! Christian gets to CHOKE Bryan more, but Bryan shifts to get an arm! Christian fights off the LeBell Lock!
But wait, here comes Hangman! He and Swerve brawl, Claudio helps out but Liona goes after Claudio! Yuta RAMS Kaun into railing! Claudio RAMS Liona into railing! Bryan drags Christian down into the LEBELL LOCK!! Nick gets in but Edge SPEARS him down!!! Fans are thunderous as Christian taps to Bryan! Bryan doesn’t let go, and Christian starts fading!! Will this be how it happens on Collision? Or will it somehow end up even more chaotic?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite tonight, and was on Tuesday instead of Wednesday because of MLB. And the reason it was a total of 2 hours and 40 minutes was AEW was countering the counter programming NXT was doing. On the surface, that’s cool of AEW to do to give their fans more to see than NXT was giving their fans. But when you look at Tony Khan getting all uppity on social media, you see it was really more him being spoiled on his birthday. That aside, great surprises I did not see coming. Cassidy subbing in for Moxley who is legit hurt with his concussion was a good move, and we got a great International Championship match. Cassidy winning the title back was surprise number one.
Surprise number two was Shida winning the AEW Women’s World title back and becoming the historic three-time champion. If nothing else, this move made it worth calling this “Title Tuesday.” And great stuff in Toni stopping Ruby to add to her already pretty hilarious night. That “Lover’s Lament” one woman show was perfectly weird, and it made for great picture in picture material since we never hear the AEW feed anyway. Also, very clever for Don Callis to do the Sammy Guevara PIP cue card thing. But back to Shida, great honor for her to make history, but it feels like it just sets up a rematch with Saraya at Full Gear in a month. Hopefully Shida retains, though, as there’s a level of hot-potato-ing the title that gets a bit awkward.
The Buy-In was good stuff, though not really needed. Of course Eddie retained both titles but he still had an epic match with Suzuki. And of course Triple J is watching because of the story they’re building with Eddie. Great promo from Christian to open the main show and take credit for the commercial free half hour. Awesome match from Bryan VS Swerve, and I figured Bryan would win since Swerve still has a feud with Hangman. Clever move for Hangman to stop Swerve from cheating. And of course, Swerve responds in kind as Hangman takes on White. That was also an awesome match but Swerve screws Hangman so that we’ll get their rematch at Full Gear.
MJF and BCG have a great promo, and I actually appreciate White being perhaps delusional that he is the champ and MJF has to earn things from him. And wow, controversial though logical use of the coincidence that Juice uses quarters in his loaded punch and MJF’s bully story. Cole, Roddy & The Kingdom have another good vignette but not as funny as the previous. I do appreciate they explained the giraffe and I should’ve known it was about neck fighting. MJF also had a good segment with Cole on the phone and then Acclaimed in person. I had a feeling Caster was gonna offer that team-up, and also a logical move for Bowens & Billy to be against it given it’s MJF, almost in a parallel to how Roddy wanted Cole to be wary. But surely, something happens and Acclaimed all help MJF after all.
Wardlow walloping Sydal as brutally as he did Griff was a slight surprise, too, and Wardlow just storming off is an interesting move. Does he just not even wanna be interviewed to explain? Hobbs VS Jericho was really good and they really had Hobbs just go to town. I liked Garcia wanting to check on Jericho and how that clashes with the rest of the X-JAS. Garcia might be the one to break away from the X-JAS and to team with Jericho so that Jericho’s side can have another trio ready to face Sammy, Konosuke and now Hobbs, probably for Full Gear. Samoa Joe had another good promo, but as I said before, he is still ROH World TV Champion, have him focus on that and be on ROH TV on Thursdays! It’s why Dalton Castle had his own “I’m stressed” promo, cuz he can’t get at Joe if Joe’s not there!
And then for not just Edge’s first match in AEW but his first match back in a few months, this was really good stuff. Of course Nick and Christian try to help Luchasaurus but I love how Edge turned that around on them. And then great chaotic brawl to finish, which is why they needed to tell us about the overrun in advance. Yeah, TK did that, and I sighed and facepalmed at it, but whatever, here it was and it was fun. It adds some good heat to Claudio & Yuta VS Gates of Agony, and we might even see a rematch for the ROH World Six Man titles stem from this leading into Hangman VS Swerve at Full Gear.
My Score: 8.9/10

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

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.

Adam Cole is here!
Atlantic City fires up for the Panama City Playboy as he brings the AEW TNT Championship with him to ringside. As such, the fans of course join in with the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” But he isn’t here to talk, he’s here to watch this opening match!
AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator: Toni Storm w/ Luther VS Lady Frost!

And my gawd, what a frosty little slop tart. Now I know there’s a fresh batch of tarts back there, wanting to take a shot at this wide load that holds the gold. Yes, that’s right. Everyone’s coming for Toni Storm. But you got it all wrong, darling! Toni Storm comes for everybody! So if you’re tits can take the hits, then I’m not a hard woman to find. I could be right here.” Then she goes outside and says she could be here, or here next to this man.
Or here, down the ramp. Here with this gentlemen, by the stage, or on this bloody boardwalk! Toni goes outside of the arena and says she will be ready, sweaty, here, queer, and TIMELESS~! Toni revels in the brisk evening air of the Atlantic City beach, but who will look to ruin all the fun?
Jon Moxley speaks.
The Maniac AEW World Champion says, “When Katsuyori Shibata woke up on Wednesday morning, his fate was already sealed. He may as well have already been in the hospital. There’s nothing you can do about it, Joe, so I don’t want you to feel bad that all of the people closest to you are dropping like flies. And I struggle to find reasons to dislike Samoa Joe, I really do. The guy defined professional wrestling for a whole generation of us guys. He deserves the respect he commands. Samoa Joe is beyond reproach. But so was Bryan Danielson. Something to think about.
“Steel Cage for the world championship in Chicago. There’s this notion, this idea, that I should be scared to step into a steel cage with Samoa Joe. When you’re the world champion, every opponent is dangerous, every match is hard, every day is hard. I’m gonna do what I always do: my job. And I am exceptional at my job. You wanna lock me inside a steel cage? Lock it. Lock the door, man. This is always how this was gonna end. My affairs are in order. But if you subscribe to this notion that I should be scared, well then you haven’t been paying attention, Joe. You better make sure you thought things through.”
The Maniac has issued a warning, but will Joe even acknowledge it? Or will Joe make Moxley realize what fear really is?

Samoa Joe speaks.
“Hello, Jon. I hope you’ll forgive me, I’m not there at Collision this week, but it’s only because I’m paying you respect by being here in my gym, preparing for what I’ll do to you in a few short weeks. What that is, Jon, is helping you understand. I’m gonna help you understand what happens when you call a man like me out. And you’re going to understand that what you have done to Hook and Shibata is going to be visited upon your man, Claudio, next week. And that all starts with me understanding a little bit about you, Jon. See, I understand that you have the ruthless streak that is required to take on someone like me.
“I understand that you have the ability and the will to come after someone like me. But you see, Jon, I had to put this match in a cage. Cuz there’s something else that I understand about you. The Jon Moxley I look at today doesn’t have the heart to stand in front of me. The Jon Moxley I see today doesn’t have the balls to get into a ring and get into an actual firefight with a man like me. And Jon, come Chicago, at Beach Break, I will break you. And when you turn around to run, with nowhere to go, I am Samoa Joe. I will be the next AEW World Champion. And Jon Moxley, I will make you understand.”

She understands they have a response to that. Truth says yeah, he’s got something to say! Trent, Rocky, Truth gets you’re upset! He gets you feel disrespected. But maybe the Outrunners get a little loud sometimes. So what? Maybe they flex a little too much. So what? Maybe they spin a little too fast. So what?! Turbo says if Rocky & Trent wanna get physical, let’s get physical! They’ll settle this where it counts! When you’re face to face with The Outrunners, some are scared to death! But some are scared to live!
Truth & Turbo shake it out, will the Youngest Men Alive show Azucar & #JustTrent what respect is really about?

CRU speaks.
Lio Rush says, “It was inevitable that the story ended with the way that it did.” Action Andretti adds, “With Top Flight landing flat on their faces.” They’re not in AEW to waste time. And any more time spent on Darius & Dante is a waste of time. They tried to walk away, drift off into the sunset, but “you two children couldn’t handle being without us.” Top Flight couldn’t stand being in the rearview mirror. CRU hopes Top Flight will learn a lesson. And that lesson is you should #FearCRU. Either you’re CRU, or you’re enemy.
Best Wrestler Alive Open Challenge: Max Caster VS ???
Platinum Max is in the ring again, and he tells Atlantic City, “You are lookin’ live at the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans boo that clearly false statement, but Caster says, “You people just witnessed a 15 minute time limit draw. And that got me thinking. No one in AEW could survive FIVE minutes in the ring with Platinum Max!” The fans boo but Caster says let’s put five minutes on the clock! The tech guys oblige, and Caster says before his next “victim” comes out here, he wants the people here in AC to prove that they’re not just a bunch of drunk, degenerate tourists! He wants them to do the chant correctly!
“Let’s Go, Max! You’re The Best Wrestler Alive! Let’s Go, Max! You’re The Best Wrestler Alive!” Caster is already laughing at how “bad” the fans are doing. That was not full participation, please do better. But let’s get to business! Who can survive FIVE with the Best Wrestler Alive? It’s DANIEL GARCIA!

Backstage interview with with Anthony Bowens & Billy Gunn.
Lexy is with the Pride of Professional Wrestling & Daddy Ass, and Bowens wants her to remember he is also the 5 Tool Player, the perfect combination of power, athleticism, intelligence, “The Look” and “The It Factor.” Bowens is here in his home state of New Jersey to tell us all that he intends to use all five tools to climb to a championship opportunity. Doesn’t that sound great? But then in steps Blake Christian & Lee Johnson. Vanilla Babyface tells Bowens all he is hearing right now is blah blah blah. Let’s be real: Bowens may have won against Blake three weeks ago, but those people weren’t talking about Bowens beating Blake.
The talk was about Bowens being outshined by Blake! Big Shotty says Bowens needs to listen because he means this with all the disrespect in the world. Johnson believes he is 150% better! After watching Blake soften Bowens up, Johnson knows how to put Bowens down. Bowens says wow, outshined him? That’s not possible. And 150% better? Well, then step up to the plate and get MOLLY WHOPPED by the 5 Tool Player! Any time, anywhere. Blake & Lee leave, when and where will Big Shotty take his shot?
The Gates of Agony VS Ray Chas & Goldie!
The Hurt Syndicate claimed we’d see Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona way down the line after they lost in the AEW World Tag Team Championship match. But the Cameroonian Prince says there are things much worse than death. They took a bite of the baddest apple on the tree, and the Samoan Lion says it made them SICK! Compared to that, only agony awaits! This is a message sent to Big Bill & Bryan Keith, will it be received loud and clear?

Winners: The Gates of Agony, by pinfall
The CRU is watching ringside, acting unimpressed. But will Kaun & Liona make sure Lio & Action are next after Bill & Keith? But speaking of, Bill calls them out from the tron! Last week, Bill & Keith called them out. They’re in the parking lot. They don’t come to you, you come to them! Kaun & Liona say bet! The Gates leave the ring, go to the back, and find their way to the parking lot! Will we get quite the battle of titans in Atlantic City?
AEW returns and…
The Gates have found the Redwood & Bad Apple! The brawl is on right in front of the Mack trucks! Bill SMACKS Liona off one, but Kaun THROWS Keith into fencing! Bill BOOTS Kaun, kicks more fencing out of the way, then he picks up a swivel chair! Bill SLAMS the chair, but Kaun avoids disaster! Liona SMACKS Bill with a trash can lid! Bill grabs some poor passerby by the face, and THROWS him at Liona! Liona catches the guy, throws him aside, and then he stares Bill down. Only for Keith to jump on Liona with a SLEEPER! Kaun is up and he ROCKS Bill! Liona spins around to swing Keith off him and into a truck!
Bill and Kaun brawl, Liona runs up, but Keith avoids the trash can attack! This brawl is gonna keep going, but the show must go on, too! Will security be able to stop this carnage before it goes too far?

Stokely cheers as he makes all the difference! Will the Top Guys continue to win by any means necessary until they’re back on top of AEW? WAIT! Daniel Garcia storms his way out here! He has a mic and a crowbar, but which one is he gonna use?! Stoke has Garcia hold on, the ref tells Garcia to stand down, but Garcia says what he really wanted to do is come down and beat all three of them over the head with the crowbar. “But I can’t. Because I have too much love for the both of you. And I thought you two had a lot of love for me, too. Because any time that one of my so-called mentors left me high and dry, left me stranded, you guys were there to pick up the pieces and put me back on my feet.”
The fans rally for Garcia, and Garcia says after what FTR did to Adam Copeland and 2Point0, and then after they tried to break Garcia’s neck, Garcia was left looking for answers. But Garcia realized that he won’t get those answers just standing around having a therapy session with them. The fans say use the crowbar then! Garcia says he has an idea. Next week, it doesn’t matter if it is Dax, Cash, Stokely, all of them, fifteen of them, a hundred of them, FTR, CPR, the ER, it doesn’t matter! Just meet him in the ring so he can beat the answers out of them!! The fans fire up for that! Who will accept this challenge from an enraged Red Death?
My Thoughts:
A very good Collision, but wow, six years and they haven’t learned how to not be redundant. While Moxley and Samoa Joe had good promos, Moxley having two promos is stupid. Skip the video one Moxley did backstage and just give us Moxley responding in anger to what Joe had to say. Same effect, but much more efficient. To be fair, I feel like a good number of this night was thrown together last minute. Because hey look, another match with “prize money” on the line when we know that’s kayfabe. It was still an awesome match from all four guys, with Hologram watching a la Sting and Darby, but what’s the point of a fake money prize? Sammy calls out Adam Cole here, why not make it some kind of TNT Championship #1 contender’s match?
Very good match from Storm VS Frost and a very good promo from Storm, and while we know Mercedes Mone VS Jamie Hayter is set, this feels like someone is going to challenge Storm for Double or Nothing in an attempt to change the All In: Texas plans. The wildest thing they could do is make it Athena as her way of getting to the All In card. They could even make it title for title because it’s Double or Nothing, and the winner brings both those titles to facing Mercedes Mone, and they have ALL the titles on the line because it’s All In! But because it’s that wild, they won’t do it. And to be fair, they really shouldn’t because then who would ever get a belt off the “Ultima Dragon” they create?
Megan of course beats Harley, but I appreciate that it led to Anna Jay making the save. Anna and Harley can certainly make a great team to battle Megan & Ford, but I feel like Megan & Ford win mostly because of Megan. Awesome match from Alexander VS Brody, and I really like that on the same day Konosuke and El Phantasmo have a 15 minute time limit draw in NJPW, Alexander and Brody have one here in AEW. Archer getting involved was also good stuff, but there’s no word on when Buddy Matthews is getting back so I’m not sure the chances of Hounds of Hell VS Don Callis Family.
But after that good promo from the Outrunners, I bet we get them and Brody working together as rather strange bedfellows. Very good stuff with Gates of Agony. They of course squashed their opponents tonight, but I like that we got a brawl of them and the former Learning Tree. Though, the brawl could’ve been a bit better, but I understand how no one wanted to fall on that hard concrete of the parking lot. I’m pretty sure we’ll get a tag match now, helping reestablish both teams in the tag division. But while CRU had a good promo to say they’re done with Top Flight, they’re like chihuahuas barking a big game thinking they can go against Kaun & Liona in a fair fight.
Caster adding a time limit to his Open Challenge was hilarious, since it added to how humiliating it was for Caster to lose fast. And Garcia answering the challenge also helped tie into tonight’s main event with FTR. Which also seemed rather out of nowhere, but it did make sense in story for FTR to go 2 outta 3 with Kyle & Roddy. Great main event with that, and I actually like Stokely’s strategy of forgoing the first fall to avoid any further damage. As such, FTR of course pulled off the comeback to win out, allowing Garcia to confront them. Thankfully, Garcia didn’t side with FTR, I had feared they’d do a lame bit of logic leaping. Garcia against either Dax or Cash will be a great singles match, and I feel like Cope will make some sort of heroic return so Garcia can have a tag partner to face FTR at Double or Nothing. Then Garcia turns.
My Score: 8.7/10
