It’s the Title Tuesday Buy In!
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 cheer Suzuki and he grins as he steps up to DECK Eddie with a forearm!
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! The ref checks but Eddie is somehow still in this, so Suzuki clamps onto an arm! Suzuki bends the fingers, twists the wrist and PULLS! Eddie gets the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Suzuki lets off at 4, and fans chant “MURDER GRAMPA!” Suzuki stomps Eddie to ropes, kicks him around, and Eddie gets mad. Eddie stands, Suzuki pie faces him, so Eddie CHOPS again! Suzuki eggs Eddie on so Eddie CHOPS again! Eddie shakes out his hand to CHOP again!
Suzuki ROCKS Eddie again! Team Triple J is watching backstage, loving that Eddie flops against ropes. Suzuki eggs Eddie on, and Eddie drags himself up in the corner. Eddie storms up to CHOP! 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! Cover, TWO!!
Eddie grows frustrated but he drags Suzuki up. Eddie winds up, but Suzuki BOOTS him first! Suzuki whips, runs in, and BOOTS Eddie again! Suzuki snapmares, runs, and PENALTY KICKS! But Eddie sits up!

Eddie roars again, so Suzuki says here goes! He fires off fast hands from all sides, then he DECKS Eddie! Fans are thunderous again while Eddie checks his teeth. They’re all there, but then Suzuki stomps Eddie. Suzuki clamps on but Eddie fights the sleeper! So Suzuki traps an arm and wraps on the SLEEPER! Fans rally, Eddie fights up, Triple J want Eddie to pass out! Eddie sits back down and Suzuki leans all his weight, but the fans rally up.

The Mad King keeps his crowns as he conquers a living legend! But Lethal says that’s fine, he will get Eddie next. When and where will Eddie put up the ROH title against the ROH Grand Slam Champion?
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! Swerve jumps but Bryan turns that to a monkey flip! They break the locks and fans fire up!
Bryan and Swerve stare down, reset, but then Swerve uses a leg guard. Swerve spins and corners Bryan but Bryan shifts to get the legs!

Bryan has Swerve for a cradle, TWO! Swerve has it, TWO! Bryan has it, TWO!
They go back and forth, TWO and the two back off! Fans cheer this exchange and the two reset. Nana coaches Swerve but fans say “This is Awesome!” They circle, tie up, and go to ropes.

Then Swerve whips corner to corner hard, and Nana talks more trash. Swerve scowls, drags Bryan up and gut wrenches, to POWERSLAM! But he holds on to deadlift BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Bryan is still in this but Swerve keeps his cool.
Swerve clamps onto an arm and a chinlock but the fans rally up. Bryan fights up, throws elbows, but Swerve knees low again. Bryan goes to a corner, Nana taunts the fans, but Swerve blocks a boot. Swerve slips around, hooks a leg, and hits a BACKBREAKER! Fans fire up as Swerve grins and goes up a corner. Bryan is still down, so Swerve 450 SPLASHES onto knees! 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 DIVEÂ 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 STOMPSÂ 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 lands on his embassy, and then Bryan SUPER BACK SUPLEXES!! Bryan can’t make the cover after that hard landing, and Nana coaches Swerve to get up again.

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 SPINEBUSTERSÂ 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.

Callis asks Jericho how it feels to know the end is coming. Hobbs soaks up the heat, hauls him up again, and SPINEBUSTERS!! Hobbs dares the fans to come get some, then he drags Jericho up again.

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 drags Cassidy up, reels him in and fireman’s carries, but the back hurts again. Cassidy DROPKICKS Fenix in the back! 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! But Shida BOOTS her away! And QUESTION MARK KICKS! Saraya wobbles, Shida climbs back up, and leaps, into a BOOT! KNIGHT CAP!! Cover, TWO?!?! Shida survives and shocks everyone! The fans are thunderous but Saraya is seething!
Saraya shakes her head, stomps Shida, then grabs both kendo stick and spray paint! Saraya hides the can and wields the kendo stick, but the ref takes the stick! 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

Jack Perry arrives.
The Scapegoat arrives in his black bus, but he also leaves the engine running while he heads inside. What is the twisted TNT Champion planning for tonight?
Daniel Garcia VS Johnny TV w/ MXM Collection!
Speaking of the TNT Championship, it will be Red Death challenging Jack Perry for that gold. But before he becomes the Face of TNT, can he prove to Johnny and the world that he is #TVReady?

Then you’re what’s holding him back. But I’m gonna fix that.”
Perry shoves Menard aside, then goes into the bus. Perry brings out a tow chain, with a hook on it! Perry CLUBS Menard, then hooks him up to the back of the bus! Between the chain and the bus exhaust, Menard is coughing and sputtering. Perry tells Menard, “We all have to sacrifice.” Perry then goes into the bus, but Garcia runs up! Garcia fires off on Perry, throws him into the side of the bus, “You thought this was a game?!” Garcia stomps Perry, and he frees Menard from the chain. Garcia stands Perry up abut Menard has an idea. Menard takes the camera, but Collision goes to break. What hell will Garcia put Perry through a week before Full Gear?
Lio Rush speaks.
“I am sick and tired of feeling the way that I’ve been feeling lately. Lost and confused on where I stand with the people that surrounded me. It’s really hard to know exactly who you are when you lose the matches that mean the most. But then I take a deep breath, I look at my watch, and I remember that I’m the Man of the Hour. I came to AEW to collect titles. I’m a 30-year-old piece of gold, and I pray that the people I call friends get on the same page. Because it’s only a matter of time before Lio Rush is rushing to the top.”
Garcia has Perry tied to the hood of the bus!
Garcia shouts at Perry that he was waiting for a reason! Garcia and Menard get in the bus, and they take Perry for a ride! They go through guard rails, up a ramp, and perhaps even into town! Will the Scapegoat end up a bug on a windshield?

Komander hurries to a corner and climbs! Komander tightrope walks the 20 feet, to then SPACE MAN MOONSAULT! Down goes Shelton and the fans are thunderous! Komander hurries to get Shelton up but Shelton ELBOWS him away. Shelton slides into the ring himself, but Komander follows. MVP is furious as Komander runs, 619! Shelton is down and Komander goes up again! MVP shouts at Shelton while Komander aims.
Komander tightrope walks again but has to bail out as Shelton moves! Shelton waistlocks to GERMAN SUPLEX! And then GERMAN SUPLEX again! Komander flounders to a corner, Shelton runs up to STEP-UP KNEE! And then a SUPERKICK! Komander gets folded up and MVP says finish it already! Shelton hauls Komander up, clinches, and hits PAYDIRT! Cover, Shelton wins!
Winner: Shelton Benjamin, by pinfall

Abrahantes gets in the ring to stop Shelton, but then he sees MVP there. MVP grabs Abrahantes by the neck! MVP LARIATS Abrahantes down! MVP may be a manager now, but he can still hit other managers hard. Will nothing stop The Hurt Syndicate from owning AEW?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Renee Paquette is with the #BornAgainKristen and says that we’re just one week away from Kris VS Mercedes Mone for the TBS Championship at Full Gear. Things have already gotten out of control, from Mone & Kamille trying to run Kris over with a car, and then Kris tackles them through a wall. Once the bell rings, what can we expect? Kris says, “Anything and everything.” Mone is one of the best, will do anything she can to win, and is most dangerous when she’s cornered, where she is right now. Everything she’s tried hasn’t worked because Kris is still standing. Kris will be the one standing tall as the NEW TBS Champion.
In steps Hikaru Shida with enthusiastic applause. The Shining Samurai tells Kris that she just wants to wish her luck. It’s about time someone beats Mone’s boney ass! And when Kris becomes the new champion, Shida will gladly be her first challenger. Kris says alright, sure. But here’s another idea: Kris is always open for a challenge any time, especially against #HolyShida, the only THREE-TIME AEW Women’s World Champion. So how about this? Wednesday Night Dynamite, Shida VS Kris. Shida’s all for it! They shake hands, but will fighting Shida be a little too much before going to Full Gear? Or will it prove Kris is still The Galaxy’s Greatest?
Backstage interview with The Acclaimed.
Lexy Nair is with Max Caster & Anthony Bowens ahead of their huge Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series match with La Faccion Ingobernable. But where is Billy Gunn? Caster asks that more importantly, where are their heads going into the match? Because Caster just has to say, as the Best Wrestler Alive, he’s feeling real confident. Bowens says for Lexy’s actual question, Billy will be here. What Caster was trying to say is that The Acclaimed do feel great, because they are one match away from joining that Fatal 4, where they will become TWO-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions in the Scissor King’s home state of New Jersey!
And when they win, The Acclaimed will celebrate with one big scissoring, because EVERYONE LOVES THE ACCLAIMED! Ain’t that right, Lexy? Oh, wait, MVP steps in, Shelton Benjamin by his side. The Hurt Syndicate just wants to wish The Acclaimed luck. The Syndicate handled their business, so Caster & Bownes should handle theirs. Oh, and Max, use your size and strength. This is a big opportunity, don’t blow it. The Syndicate heads out, but will The Acclaimed win to impress MVP? Or to get back where they belong?
“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs VS Bulk Bronson w/ The Iron Savages!
The return of the Powerhouse is truly big for AEW, but all the Iron Savages are big. And Jacked Jameson wants everyone to hold on. The fat morons and skinny idiots of Albany can shut up. Jameson gives all the introductions, and looking at “P-P-Powerhouse,” all you people are expecting a meat madness match! You want meat?! Then yeah, chant it up! But here’s some news: all these losers are going on a vegan diet! There will be no meat tonight! Because they are The Iron Savages, sippin’ sauce and livin’ hoss while they take all the Low T Meatriders to #TIDDYCITY! Guess Bronson can do it, too?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Bronson pumps up and puffs up, but he’s looking lean compared to Hobbs. Bronson runs, RAMS Hobbs, but Bronson bounces off! The fans fire up but the Savages coach Bronson up. Hobbs says stop playing and bring it! Hobbs SLAPS Bronson, so Bronson really fires up! Bronson kicks low, and says, “How ’bout that, Hobbs?!” Bronson runs, but Hobbs dodges and CLOBBERS him! The fans fire up while Hobbs brings Bronson around. Scoop and SLAM, and the fans fire up with Hobbs! Hobbs then brings Bronson up to scoop and SLAM again! Bronson writhes, the fans chant for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!”
Hobbs drags Bronson up, scoops and SLAMS again! Bronson writhes while Hobbs looms over him. Hobbs brings Bronson up, but Bronson wrenches out to ROCK Hobbs! Bronson fires haymakers, then CLUBS away on Hobbs’ back! The fans rally, Bronson reels Hobbs in, but Hobbs suplexes Bronson first! Bronson flounders into a corner, the fans fire up as Hobbs headbutts buckles! Hobbs runs up to SPLASH in the corner! Hobbs says he’s got all the meat! Hobbs LARIATS point blank again and again as fans chant “MEAT!” Hobbs lets Bronson stagger about, before he CLOBBERS him!
Hobbs shakes the ropes, and the straps come down! The fans fire up but Jameson talks trash on the apron. Hobbs DECKS him! Boulder runs in?! Hobbs hits a SPINEBUSTER! The ref can’t believe what’s going on as Hobbs torture racks Bronson! ARGENTINE RACK! Bronson TAPS, Hobbs wins! And drops Bronson on Boulder!
Winner: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, by submission
Big, jacked, and ANYBODY can get it! That is the way of the Powerhouse! Will the Book of Hobbs have quite the comeback story?
Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Lexy is now with Roderick Strong, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett. She congratulates Roddy for getting his third win via Lance Archer. Roddy now faces MJF at Full Gear, so how is he feeling? How’s he feeling? First, thanks for all that, Lexy, he appreciates it. Second, “MAAAX! You have seven days. Seven days from right now until you’re standing across the ring from me, Max. And look, I got a lot to say, and on Wednesday, you’re gonna hear it all, but I just wanna leave you with this: Max, you walk around here thinking you’re smarter than everybody, you’re better than everybody. I don’t think you realize what you’ve gotten yourself into.
“I am the Messiah of the Backbreaker. I am a damn wrestling legend! And when Full Gear ends, you’re gonna realize that I’m better than you, and you know it!” Roddy is ready to throw it all back in MJF’s face, but will the Wolf of Wrestling have a contingency plan?
Private Party is here!
The MVP Arena is ready to party with the champs, and Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy are ready to watch the final match of the contenders’ series! Who joins Private Party, The Outrunners, and The Kings of the Black Throne at Full Gear?
Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series: Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Jake “The Snake” Roberts VS The Acclaimed w/ Billy Gunn!
Platinum Max of course has a diss track. “These dudes gotta be embarrassed. You ’bout to lose bigger than Kamala Harris! LFI in a title match is outta place. It’s like Mexicans being managed by Jake the Snake! I would’ve called the committee, but you’re lucky Albany’s a sanctuary city!” Bowens takes over to say, “ALBANAAAAAY~! The Acclaimed have arrived! Scissor me, Daddy Ass~!” And he does~! But Caster doesn’t? The teams sort out, and while Caster wants to, Bowens convinces him to let Bowens start. Mortos steps up and the fans sing while the bell rings. Bowens and Mortos circle, tie up, and Mortos powers Bowens to a corner.
The ref counts, Mortos lets off, but Bowens dodges the shot to fire CHOPS! Mortos just roars! Mortos runs up, Bowens dodges to CHOP, CHOP and fire forearms! Mortos puts Bowens in a corner to fire forearms and lariats! Caster protests but Mortos SMACKS Bowens! And SMACKS him again! Mortos whips, Bowens reverses, but Mortos rolls off Bowens’ back! Bowens DROPKICKS but Mortos rebounds to CLOBBER Bowens! Bowens gets up but Caster tags in. Caster tells Bowens to relax, but here comes Rush. The fans rally up and the two tie up. Rush powers Caster back, Caster turns things around, but Rush turns it back around.
The ref counts as they’re in a corner, and the two separate. Rush eggs Caster on, the two tie up again, and Rush waistlocks. Caster switches, shoves, and drops down. Rush runs up but Caster hurdles. Rush leaps over but Caster runs him over! Rush runs Caster over! The fans fire up, but Caster says hold on! Tranquilo! Caster raises the ingobernable fist, Rush is moderately amused, but then Caster sucker punches him! Rush scowls and DECKS Caster! Rush goes out to grab his favorite green cable! Mortos distracts the ref, but Caster fires hands on Rush first! And Caster uses the cable! The fans cheer as Rush tastes his own medicine!
But then Rush SLINGS Caster to the floor! Billy is upset but the ref wants him to stay back. Billy tries to point out the shenanigans, but Collision goes picture in picture.
The ref is busy with Billy and that lets Rush LASH Caster with the cable! Rush SMACKS Caster off the desk, Caster scrambles into the ring, but Rush anchors his leg. Rush drags Caster up, CHOPS him then ROCKS him, then bumps him off buckles. Tag to Mortos and Mortos SMACKS Caster! Cover, TWO! Caster toughs it out but Mortos NECK GTWISTS! Cover, TWO! Mortos stalks Caster to a corner while Private Party watches closely. Mortos SMACKS Caster again! Mortos puts Caster in the corner, taunts Bowens, and while the ref is busy with Bowens, that lets The Snake get in cheap shots!
Billy and Bowens both protest, but Mortos wrenches Caster. Tag to Rush and LFI mugs Caster. Caster goes to a corner but Rush whips corner to corner. Rush runs up and feints the dropkick to SMACK Caster! Rush soaks up the cheers and jeers while he blows a kiss. Rush drags Caster up to snapmare and motorcycle stretch.

Mortos stays in this, but Bowens stays focused. Bowens fires forearms but Mortos hits back.
Bowens fires a flurry, then whips, but Mortos reverses. Mortos POP-UP SAMOAN DROPS Bowens down! The fans fire up but Caster MISSILE DROPKCIKS Mortos! Rush runs up, but Caster SUPERKICKS him! Caster runs at Rush, but Rush THROWS him into the corner! Bowens DECKS Rush! The fans fire up as all four men are down! Private Party likes this, too, as Billy coaches his guys. Jake also coaches LFI, and “This is Awesome!” Mortos blocks a shot to HEADBUTT Bowens down! Tag to Rush and Rush runs at the corner, only for Bowens to dodge! Bowens CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS away!

With Full Gear being next Saturday, November 23rd, Collision takes a week off! We’ll see everyone back here in two weeks on November 30th!
Backstage interview with Mina Shirakawa.
Lexy is with the Fighting Gravure Idol and congratulates her on her win in her return. Mina says yes, she is so back to have come back here, and she is so excited for Mariah’s match. Lexy says Mina already has multiple championships, is AEW gold on her mind at all? Mina says she’s just excited for Mariah’s match. But that’s not a no… Time to dance! Mina shimmies her way on out, but will she end up wanting something more than just fun with her friend?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Lexy is now with Mark Briscoe, Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii, and she notes that in a couple weeks, Dynamite: Thanksgiving Eve, it will be Tomohiro Ishii VS Chris Jericho for the ROH World Championship. How is Ishii feeling? The Stone Pitbull is stone-faced, so Mark Briscoe “translates” what #BigTom is exuding with his aura. This is what he’s trying to say: Jericho, your days are numbered! You better shine that title up real nice, sleep with it real close, because soon, it’s getting up outta there! “Learning Tree my ass, you about to learn a lesson about humility! You about to learn a lesson about gettin’ your ass whooped!”
Mark asks if they understand what he’s saying, and Rocky says yeah, he’s picking up what Mark’s putting down. Rocky’s digging the energy, and he feels the intensity. But he has to know one thing: What is the word of the day? That’s a hell of a question, Rocky, because today, it is a menagerie of words! Take a basket, reach in, pull out the word of the day, and well, it’s tenacious! Tenacity! Ferocious! Velocity! Ferocity! He’s tellin’ ya, long story short, that title is coming back to the Conglomeration, courtesy of Tomohiro Ishii! Jericho, you gettin’ your ass whooped, son! RARARARA!
Mark may be fire on the outside, but Ishii is fire on the inside. Will The Learning Tree be burned down either way?
Backstage interview with FTR.
Lexy notes that this past Wednesday, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood came up short in their own Full Gear Contenders Series match. Where are their heads out right now? Cash says he wishes he had an answer, because he doesn’t really know. FTR doesn’t know where they go from here. They wish it was just one bad night, but the truth of the matter is, FTR lost those titles a little over a year ago and have had chances to get them back where they just haven’t. Maybe it’s FTR. Maybe their time has passed them. Maybe they need to reevaluate. Dax agrees. But on Dynamite, the better team won on that night.
While FTR could cry about it, or they could rebuild. Therefore, they will rebuild. This may not be FTR’s time, but it is someone’s time. It is The Outrunners’ time! And maybe after Full Gear, we get an FTRunners dream match for those titles. Boys, they’re pulling for you. Speaking of, we’re about to hear from The Outrunners right now!
The Outrunners speak.
Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd have another retro style video in old standard definition, saying they’ve got the looks and the attitude, so you know they’ve got “the stuff!” It’s a highlight reel of their match with Top Flight, even using retro graphics in the editing. You gotta have the meat! And right now, they’re sizzling! But will Truth & Turbo be prime A1 material at Full Gear? Or will they end up well done?
AEW Women’s World Championship No Disqualifications Match: Mariah May VS Anna Jay!
The Battle of the Belts was a Title Eliminator that went The Queenslayer’s way, only for The Glamour to get her revenge in the proper title match. However, all the back and forth, the bullying and the brawling, it has led to this rubber match! And as if No Disqualifications isn’t raising the stakes enough, Anna promises that if she loses, this is the last time she challenges Mariah for the title! Will this last chance be just the chance Anna needs to become The Star of the Show? Or will AEW still be All About Mariah?
Anna already brings a duffel bag of weaponry, and Nigel panics for Mariah’s sake. But Mariah came prepared with a trash can, baseball bat, and proper attire for a Street Fight. The introductions are made, but Mariah throws her can already! Anna dodges then SHOTGUNS Mariah! The bell rings, Anna is right on Mariah, and she sends Mariah into the railing! And then the steel steps! And then back into railing! The fans fire up while Anna keeps after Mariah with haymakers. Anna whips Mariah hard into railing! The Vendetta watches backstage, they seem to like Anna bringing out the violence as she SMACKS Mariah off the desk!
Anna confiscates a monitor to SMACK Mariah on the back! Mariah falls into Schaivone’s arms, and Nigel is furiously jealous! Anna SMACKS Mariah off the apron, then grabs herself a chair, to SMACK Mariah with it legs first! Anna pushes Mariah into the ring, then goes up a corner. Mariah stands into Anna’s BLOCKBUSTER! The fans fire up as Anna keeps going, and she sits the chair up nearby. Anna drags Mariah up, but Mariah fires body shots! DDTÂ onto the chair! Anna falls back while Mariah snarls. Mariah grabs the trash can and puts it around Anna! Mariah drums on the can, then goes to a corner.
Mariah climbs, Anna stands, and Mariah MISSILE DROPKICKS Anna down! Cover, TWO! Anna survives but Mariah just goes outside to look under the ring. The fans fire up in anticipation, and Mariah grins as she brings out a LADDER! Mariah pushes that ladder into the ring, stomps Anna around, then drags the ladder up. The ladder is propped up in a corner, then whips Anna, but Anna reverses! Mariah avoids hitting the ladder, but Anna has the QUEENSLAYER SLEEPER! Mariah flails, reaches out, but Anna hops on as a backpack! Only for Mariah to SENTON onto the ladder!
The fans fire up while both women are down, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Mariah sputters and coughs while she crawls to ropes. Mariah rolls out of the ring and hurries to look under the ring again. Mariah brings out a new chair, but Anna has brought out one of her own! They each slide the chairs in, and then they add more chairs! And more chairs! So many chairs! They both storm in, armed with chairs, and they CLASH! Mariah is disarmed, so Anna SMACKS her down! Anna goes for her duffel bag! Anna brings out… a crowbar, a wrench, wire, a chain, but she wants the PRYBAR! Mariah ROCKS Anna first, then THRWOS her down onto the chairs! Mariah stomps Anna, then sees all the goodies Anna brought!
Mariah picks up the strap! Mariah LASHES Anna, LASHES her again, but that just pisses Anna off! Anna blocks the shot, ROCKS Mariah, then LASHES her on the back! And LASHES her again! Mariah flounders, Anna kicks things aside to then stomp Mariah down. Anna drags Mariah up to suplex her onto the chairs! Mariah writhes but Anna covers, TWO!! Mariah stays in this, but that just means more pain! Anna stalks Mariah and DIGS the prybar into her ribs! Mariah kicks Anna away, then fires forearms! Anna eggs Mariah on, so Mariah KNEES her down! Cover, TWO! Anna toughs it out as Collision returns to single picture.
Mariah drags Anna up, for a SAIDO! Mariah then positions chairs before she fireman’s carries Anna. MADAYÂ on a chair! Cover, TWO!?! Anna survives and Mariah is furious! Mariah grits her teeth as she drags Anna up and reels her in. Anna fights free, kicks low, then has the Gory Especial! GORY BOMB onto the ladder!! The ladder doesn’t break but Mariah’s face might have! Cover, TWO!! The Vendetta is still watching, and while Taya is very animated, Deonna is very stoic. Anna goes out to look under the ring. Albany gets what they want because here comes a TABLE! Anna brings this up to a TLC as she pushes the table into the ring.
Anna hurries in to set the table up while Mariah crawls and cries in pain. Anna has the table set just right, but she stomps Mariah first. Anna bumps Mariah off the buckles, then hoists her up top. Anna ROCKS Mariah, climbs up after her, and the fans fire up as she aims for the table. Mariah fires body shots first! Mariah bumps Anna off buckles, then SUPSER SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMBS through the table!! Cover, TWO?!?! Anna survives and Mariah cannot believe it! But this is what winning the title with no safety net means for Anna! Mariah goes out, looks under the ring, and she brings out spare railing!?
Mariah pushes the railing into the ring, but she also brings some chairs over. Mariah sets the chairs up before she props the railing up like a ramp. Mariah adds more chairs, but Anna hits a BACKSTABBER first! Both women are down again, but Anna grabs herself some chairs. Anna finishes the project Mariah was working on, and the railing is now a platform! Anna drags Mariah over but Mariah HEADBUTTS first! Mariah then puts Anna on the railing, and looks to go through with her plan all along! The fans fire up as Mariah climbs, but Anna trips her up first! Anna climbs up, and she has Mariah on the very top! SUPERPLEXÂ on the railing!!!
The fans lose their minds as both women are wrecked on the steel bars! Nigel can’t bear to watch the replay! The fans declare, “This is Awesome!” Mariah rises up, but Anna flops out of the ring. Anna finds some BARBED WIRE! Anna looks to relive one of her highlights as she wraps the wire around her arm! Anna stalks Mariah, and has the BARBED WIRE QUEENSLAYER on!!! Mariah suffers and the fans say Anna is sick! Anna doesn’t care, she wants to be champion! Mariah fades, but she uses HAIR SPRAY IN THE EYES!! Mariah is free, and she reels Anna in, STORM ZEROÂ on a chair!! Cover, Mariah wins!!
Winner: Mariah May, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Champion)
Taya is upset but Deonna says it’s alright. Anna and Mariah pushed each other to their limits, but also to some dark places. The Glamour is still atop the AEW Women’s Division, and here comes Mina! Best friends get to celebrate Mariah’s victory, and then Mariah KICKS ANna in the side! Mina says no, Mariah, you already did enough! Mariah accepts that, and BREAKING NEWS from Tony Khan: Now that Mariah has retained her title, she and Mina will have their championship champagne celebration for Full Gear! Will no one ever stop Mariah’s reign of glamour?
Jon Moxley speaks.
The Maniac is with Marina Shafir in the parking lot as he says, “I’ve underestimated Orange Cassidy. I’ve pushed him in the ring before, but this sport’s about so much more than what goes on between the ropes. I thought when I broke Chuck Taylor’s neck, one of two things would happen: Either he would turn into a shaky puddle of tears, and I’d walk right over him; or he’d be backed into a corner and he’s snap back, bringing the animal out of Orange Cassidy. Neither of those two things happened, and now I see it for the first time. I don’t think he even went to the hospital with Chuck Taylor.
“He acts like he’s so sad, and that young Wheeler’s traveled down a path he doesn’t approve of, but he doesn’t care. He’s full of it. Now I see it for the first time. I can’t believe I didn’t see it before. Orange Cassidy is a snake. Cold-blooded, reptilian, unnerved. The test will be this Wednesday, when you face your beloved former student who you claim to care about. Will you strike with venomous intent? Or will you keep it clean? Cold-blooded opponent, that is a different challenge entirely, this is gonna be harder than I thought. But man, I wish I was cold-blooded. But I’m not. No. I feel everything.
“Not just the weight of the AEW World Championship, but I feel the weight of the last five years. I feel the weight of the dreams and aspirations of every single wrestler who walks through these doors. I feel the weight of everybody’s mistakes and broken promises. I feel the weight of every single AEW fan who buys a ticket and pays for parking, and takes off work, and gives us their hard-earned money, and time, and energy, because AEW is something they believe in! What AEW could be! You don’t like the way I do things? November 23rd, you’re gonna have a chance.
“Lop my head off. Let it hit the dirt and roll at your feet. Reach down and pick up that crown, put it on your head. See if you like how it feels. At Full Gear, I smear Orange Cassidy’s blood on our flag, and I plant it in the ground so hard, it will never get moved. You wanna ride with me? You wanna ride in MY AEW? We ride into battle every single day to grab pro-wrestling by the balls, and you better be ready to die on your shield every single day! And if you’re not, get out. Or you will get taken out.” The Maniac has issued his ultimatum, will Freshly Squeezed heed it?
AEW Collision wraps with the November to Remember music video.
Set to November Rain by Guns ‘n’ Roses, we look back even as far as the last time Jon Moxley and Orange Cassidy feuded, which included their battle over the AEW International Championship at Full Gear 2023. There are also highlights to hype up the TNT Championship match of Jack Perry VS Daniel Garcia, and the long-awaited grudge match between Jay White and Hangman Page. Who will truly make this a November to Remember when they stand tall in the November rain?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision, and I forgot that this counts as the go-home Collision with Full Gear next week. The music video recap package to end the show is really well done, and makes a good ending moment, but then it makes other promos a little redundant. Honestly, why not wait to use this as the cold open to Full Gear next Saturday? This would be an awesome PPV opening video. And good closing promo from Moxley, with good spin on Cassidy’s aloof nature. Maybe Cassidy’s cold, or maybe he’s in control of his emotions. I suppose Cassidy VS Yuta on Dynamite will give some of that away.
Great stuff with the TNT Championship story. Garcia VS Johnny was a really good match, even with MXM getting involved. Perry abducting Menard in an attempt to tow him behind the bus was wild, but I like how Garcia turned the tables on Perry. I kinda wish we got a little more of their “joyride” through Albany and New York, but maybe we get more of that on Dynamite. Either way, it feels like Garcia already has the “standing tall” part of the go-home math, meaning he loses at Full Gear. Maybe Perry will cheat his way out of the match so that Garcia can still be strong in defeat.
Really good match from Shelton and Komander but of course Shelton won. Good promo from Hurt Syndicate with The Acclaimed to keep up the recruit tease, and very good match from Acclaimed VS LFI. Good win for The Acclaimed, and you can bet that the Fatal 4 Way will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Caster was even distancing himself in his own way here, with not wanting to scissor finger before the match and other little details. Caster can turn on Bowens and join the Hurt Syndicate to start on a singles championship story with them. Lio Rush likely will, too, given his promo.
Very good promo from Conglomeration to hype up Thanksgiving Eve and the ROH World Championship match of Ishii VS Jericho. Still doesn’t feel like Jericho’s losing, though, as he really only just got the title and there’s still this idea of Jericho being responsible for ROH getting a TV deal. Y’know, the same way he’s kayfabe responsible for Collision happening so that he could be on another show separate from… Whoever he was feuding with back then. Very good promo from Roddy to call out MJF, though he literally says he’ll talk more on Dynamite so what was the point of tonight? Just filling time?
Great match for Hobbs to get back on a winning track in singles action, and the “All Star 8 Man” on Wednesday will be great stuff. I feel like Brian Cage or Lance Archer takes the loss in that match, giving momentum to Ricochet and Ospreay going into each of the Full Gear grudge matches. With that, Ricochet maybe pulls off the International Championship win, but Ospreay probably does not win because of Don Callis Family cheating. As for Hobbs himself, The Continental Classic is coming, maybe he gets in on that and really dominates. Hobbs and Okada would be a lot of fun to see, I kinda hope we get that.
Great opener from Mina VS Harley as Harley continues to build her in-ring skill and impress. I like Mina kinda dodging the question about titles here in AEW, because she doesn’t wanna give away that she wants THE AEW Women’s World Championship. Mariah VS Anna was a great main event, they really busted out some good stuff. Mariah using the hair spray was a very clever way to turn things around and help her win. Mariah and Mina having their celebration on Full Gear, I feel like that’s the moment things go sideways in this friendship.
My Score: 8.8/10

Hikaru Shida VS Leila Grey!
The Shining Samurai continues her comeback, looking to carve a path back to a championship. But the Top Flight Attendant only just called out the ROH Women’s World Champion, Athena, last night on ROH TV. Will Leila be flying high towards her Proving Grounds match with The Fallen Goddess? Or will Shida use Leila as just another tune-up?
The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. The two tie up, Leila wrenches and wristlocks to YANK the arm. Leila keeps on the wristlock but Shida handsprings and wrenches back. Shida hammerlocks, headlocks, but Leila fires body shots. Leila powers up and out, but Shida runs Leila over! The fans fire up, and things keep moving. Shida rolls over Leila’s dropdown, then bypasses Leila. Leila stops the hip toss to fire body shots and knees! Leila goes to run but Shida reels her in. Shida lifts with the waistlock, and she swings Leila around, before the SLAM! The fans fire up with Shida and she goes outside.
Shida brings Leila to the apron, CLUBS her, then lines up a shot. Shida runs in to KNEE LIFT! The fans fire up again and Shida hurries back in. Shida brings Leila up, fireman’s carries, but Leila flails with forearms and elbows. Leila sunset flips, TWO! Leila ROCKS Shida, UPPERCUTS, then kicks low. Leila KICKS high, then kicks a leg out, to run and SHOTGUN! Shida tumbles, Leila covers, TWO! Shida stays in this but Leila stays on her. Leila bumps Shida off buckles, then she runs Shida side to side to bump off more buckles. Leila CHOPS and the fans “WOO~!” Leila smiles and puts some stank on the CHOP!
Leila swings but Shida dodges the third chop, to ROCK Leila! Shida whips, Leila reverses, and Leila SHINING WIZARDS in the corner! Then BULLDOG! Cover, TWO! Shida is tougher than that but Leila stalks her. The fans rally up, Leila brings Shida around, and Leila fires a forearm! Shida fires one in return! Leila fires again, but Shida ROCKS Leila! Leila ROCKS Shida! The fans rally up and Shida feeds off the energy. Shida fires forearm after forearm, but Leila takes a swing! Shida dodges, wrenches, and short arm LARIATS! The fans fire up and Shida is after Leila in a corner. Shida climbs up, and she rains down fists!
The fans fire up and count all the way to TEN! Shida roars then kicks Leila away. Shida MISSILE DROPKICKS! Down goes Leila! Shida hurries to cover, TWO! Leila stays in this but Shida takes aim. KATA- NO, Leila deflects! Roll up, TWO!! Shida is up, blocks a boot, and swings, but into a full nelson! Shida wrenches out, BOOTS Leila’s lariat, then QUESTION MARK KICKS! Shida suplexes for the FALCON ARROW! Cover, Shida wins!
Winner: Hikaru Shida, by pinfall
Leila kicks at 3.1, that’s too little too late! Will Leila at least last ten minutes against Athena next week? Will Shida be the one poised for a title shot after Full Gear?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee Paquette is with the crazy Aussie, who keeps pawing at her, and brings up the match Harley’s made for Collision with Mina Shirakawa. Harley asks Renee, does she know what Mina has that Harley doesn’t? No, what is it? NOTHING!! Mina is beautiful, charismatic, and talented. But can she do THIS?! Harley brings out a guitar and starts to play! Harley was a musician, y’know. Oh, wait, there’s a string missing. Never mind, she’s professional! Harley starts adlibbing a Blues-esque song. There once was a little girl. And by “little,” Harley doesn’t mean young child, she means just small in stature.
Anyway, and a five, six, seven, eight! Renee stops Harley there, there’s no time. What?! No! FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAM- The cameras cut away back to ringside, but will Harley show Mina and the world everything she’s capable of tomorrow night on Collision?
Mark Briscoe VS Ariya Daivari w/ Mark Sterling!
While Chris Jericho keeps disrespecting the legacy of Jay Briscoe, it will be Tomohiro Ishii that handles him. Tonight, the Sussex County Chicken is to focus on himself and the Premier Athletes’ son of privilege. “Smart” Mark takes over introductions by saying Ariya Daivari is about to wrestle “literally the dumbest person in AEW.” Mark is so stupid, really. So please, show the world that Bridgeport is smarter than a Briscoe by reading what is right on the Premier Athletes’ brand new merch shirt: Athletes Rule. Daivari says when he says “Athletes,” the fans should say, “Rule!” and NOTHING ELSE! Got it!?
Okay, hands in. Ohhh… “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Briscoe laughs because the only dumb Mark here is Mark Sterling. But will Briscoe prove that what matters in the ring is street smarts? Or can Daivari prove that Premier Athletes don’t suck?
The bell rings and Briscoe circles with Daivari. They tie up as fans rally, and Briscoe pushes Daivari back. Daivari turns things around to put Briscoe in a corner, and lets off as the ref counts. Daivari shouts, “ATHLETES!” but fans again shout “SUCK!!” Briscoe SHOVES Daivari down and the fans fire up. Briscoe and Daivari circle, tie up, and Briscoe headlocks. Daivari powers up and out, but Briscoe runs him over! The fans fire up and things keep moving. Daivari drops down, Briscoe slides under, and then Briscoe REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUTS! And ROLLING ELBOWS! The fans fire up more while sterling protests.
Briscoe whips Daivari, then UPPERCUTS again! The fans fire up as Daivari goes to a corner. Briscoe storms up to bring Daivari around, for a suplex high and hard! Cover, TWO! Daivari is tougher than that so Briscoe shrugs it off. Briscoe fires hands, Daivari staggers around, but Briscoe CHOPS him in a corner! Briscoe then REDNECK CRANE KICKS! The fans fire up and Briscoe brings Daivari up, but Daivari JAWBREAKERS back! Daivari TOSSES Briscoe out, but the ref has Sterling stay back. Daivari goes out to get Briscoe, but Briscoe sends Daivari into railing! The fans fire up while Daivari writhes, and Briscoe stands him up.
Briscoe CHOPS Daivari, high-fives fans, then CHOPS Daivari again. Briscoe then brings Daivari around to SMACK off a chair! The fans fire up as Briscoe makes Daivari take a seat. Briscoe refreshes the count, then runs up to BOOT Daivari down! The fans fire up more, and Briscoe UPPERCUTS Daivari again. Daivari goes to more railing but Briscoe CHOPS him down again. Briscoe tosses a chair into the ring, HEADBUTTS Daivari, then slides into the ring. Briscoe sets up the chair and the fans fire up! Sterling panics as Briscoe builds speed, so Sterling snatches the chair away! The fans boo but Briscoe goes out after Sterling!
Sterling defends his innocence but Daivari CLUBS Briscoe! And hits a NECKBREAKER on the floor! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Well, clearly Sterling doesn’t learn, but Daivari is control as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Daivari drags Briscoe up and into the ring, then grabs the legs, so he can stomp Briscoe’s gut! Briscoe sputters his way to a corner but Daivari digs his boots in! The ref counts, Sterling cheers, but Daivari lets off. Daivari argues with the ref, so Sterling CHOKES Briscoe! The fans boo but Sterling gets away with it. Daivari whips Briscoe hard into a corner! Briscoe sits down, and Daivari stomps him some more! Daivari snapmares Briscoe, KNEES him in the back, then clamps on a neck wrench. The ref reprimands the fishhook in there, but Daivari shifts to a chinlock. Daivari grinds Briscoe down, but Briscoe endures.
Fans rally up and Briscoe fights to his feet. Rampage returns to single picture as Briscoe fires body shots! Briscoe fires forearms but Daivari knees low! Daivari CLAWS Briscoe’s face, puts him in a corner, then hoists him up top. The fans rally for “DEM BOYS! DEM BOYS!” but Daivari CHOPS Briscoe. Daivari climbs up, brings Briscoe up, but Briscoe fires body shots! Briscoe DECKS Daivari, the fans fire up, but Sterling springs into action! The ref reprimands, Sterling argues with him, and Daivari runs up! Briscoe leaps over Daivari, but Daivari dodges the boot! SLEEPER! The fans boo but Briscoe RAMS Daivari into a corner!
Daivari holds on but Briscoe RAMS him in again and again! Briscoe is finally free, but Daivari then hammerlocks! LION’S LARIAT! And then a wrench, spin, LION’S DDT! Cover, TWO!! Briscoe survives Daivari’s double down and the fans fire up! Daivari throws hands but Briscoe feeds off it! The fans fire up as Briscoe mans up! Daivari headlocks, Briscoe powers out, but Daivari RAMS Briscoe! Briscoe roars! Daivari runs and RAMS Briscoe again! And again! Then Daivari fires hands! But Briscoe blocks to ROCK Daivari! And ROCK him again! And again! REDNECK PALM STRIKES! Briscoe puts Daivari in a corner!
Briscoe rains down fists and the fans count to TEN! Briscoe hops down, the fans fire up, and Briscoe CLOBBERS Daivari! And CLOBBERS him again! Briscoe whips, Daivari reverses, but Briscoe FLYING FOREARMS! The fans fire up with Briscoe and he runs at the corner. LARIAT, and then FISHERMAN BUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Daivari survives but Briscoe calls his shot! Briscoe drags Daivari up, reels him in, but Daivari fights the underhooks! Daivari wrenches, dodges a lariat, and SUPERKICKS! Briscoe wobbles, but he eggs Daivari on! Daivari runs up, into a ROLLING DEATH VALLEY! Daivari is down and Briscoe climbs up!
Sterling distracts Briscoe, and Daivari has time to hit the ropes! That trips Briscoe up! Briscoe tumbles to the m at, and Daivari hauls Briscoe up. Wait, Daivari underhooks the arms?! That’s blasphemy! But Briscoe powers up and out with a backdrop! And now Briscoe brings Daivari in, only for Sterling to get on the apron! The ref reprimands, Briscoe warns Sterling, but it’s ROCKY ROMERO that YANKS Sterling down! Daivari whips Briscoe, Briscoe reverses to TOSS Daivari! Rocky gets Briscoe the chair! Briscoe sets it up, and he takes FLIGHT! Down goes Daivari & Sterling! Briscoe puts Daivari in, climbs up, FROGGY-BOW!! Cover, Briscoe wins!
Winner: Mark Briscoe, by pinfall
The Conglomeration comes through for each other again, and that helps Briscoe win! But Azucar has his own match tonight, will he be feeling even sweeter after taking on Komander?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!

It’s the full Don Callis Family against the Aerial Assassin, the Powerhouse, Dunkzilla and The One & Only in an All Star 8 Man Tag! Which side will have all the momentum going into Full Gear?
Rocky Romero VS Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes!
Rampage returns and the bell rings. The fans rally as Azucar and Commander of the Skies circle, but Montel Vontavious Porter is watching backstage…? Who business could MVP and The Hurt Syndicate have here? Rocky and Komander tie up, Komander wrenches and wristlocks. Rocky rolls then DROPKICKS! Rocky gives some Latino Heat, then waits on Komander. The two reset, circle, and tie up again. Rocky waistlocks, SLAMS, then flips Komander, maybe a little too much. Rocky flips Komander over again but Komander kips up to arm-drag! Komander gives some Latino Heat of his own, and Rocky can’t help but smile.
The fans rally as Komander and Rocky feel things out. They knuckle lock, go shoulder to shoulder, and the fans cheer the Test of Strength. Rocky powers Komander back, then MONKEY FLIPS! Rocky rolls back but Komander blocks the mount to then go up and MONKEY FLIP back! It’s a double cover, TWO as both men bridge! The fans cheer this exchange, and the two roll to their feet. Komander kicks one knuckle lock apart to then go up and ARABIAN PRESS ARM-DRAG! Rocky is back up fast, and he hurdles, drops under, then hurdles again.

MVP nods, maybe he saw things not even he expected out of this match. Will Komander prove he’s not just worthy of MVP’s attention but of AEW’s attention? And with it, perhaps a title opportunity?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Lexy Nair is with The Queenslayer and notes her AEW Women’s World Championship match set for Collision tomorrow night. It is No Disqualifications, and if Anna wins, she is the NEW champion. But if she loses… Anna will never challenge Mariah May for the title again. Anna says it is worth that risk. It is worth seeing Mariah’s eyes bulging out of her head until she passes out. With no rules, Anna is capable of anything. But in steps Taya Valkyrie, applauding and saying yes, Anna is capable of anything. But so is Mariah. And Mina Shirakawa could be anywhere. Maybe Anna wants some extra insurance? And by the way, The Vendetta does accept cash.
Anna says she can handle her business, so Taya can mind her own. Taya tells Anna okay, okay. But Deonna Purrazzo sends her regards. Stay safe out there. Anna says no, she won’t. Will Anna finally be The Star of the Show when she tears down Mariah? Or will The Virtuosa & La Wera Loca have something to say about that?
Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Dralistico VS Alex Price & Richard Holliday!
Just 24 hours ahead of their Collision with The Acclaimed, La Faccion Ingobernable’s two bulls are looking to stampede! Will they be more than ready for the Full Gear Contenders Series?
The teams sort out and Mortos starts against Price, and just CLBOBERS him at the bell! Mortos keeps moving, Price drops then jumps, but into a SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans fire up and Mortos SMACKS Price! Mortos whips Price, Price ducks ‘n’ dodges, then goes up and over! Price DROPKICKS, DROPKICKS, and fires up! But then Mortos POP-UP SAMOAN DROPS him! Tag to Rush, and El Toro Blanco looms over Price. Rush stands Price up to CHOP him down! Rush eggs Holliday on, then SPITS at him! The fans boo but Price tags Holliday. Holliday steps to Rush, but Rush shoves him! Holliday UPPERCUTS!
The fans fire up but Rush CHOPS! Rush pie faces Holliday but Holliday fires up! Only for Rush to whip him into a corner and SPLASH! Snapmare and basement DROPKICK! Holliday bails out but Rush pursues. Rush CHOPS, then throws Holliday into railing. Rush dribbles Holliday off the railing, rains down fists, but the ref counts. Rush says leave him alone, but the ref warns him. Rush stops, then he puts Holliday in the ring. Rush snarls and storms back into the ring. Mortos CHOKES Holliday, the ref reprimands, but this lets Dralistico throw Price into steel steps! Rush whips Holliday corner to corner hard!
Rush DECKS Holliday with a forearm, stomps away on him, and goes corner to corner! “If you mess with the bull…!” BULL’S HORNS! Cover, LFI wins!
Winners: Rush & The Beast Mortos, by pinfall
This probably could’ve been over soon, but LFI likes to play with their food. But will they be much more to the point against Max Caster & Anthony Bowens?
Backstage interview with MVP.
Lexy is with Montel Vontavious Porter and brings up how he’s been watching matches here and there. Is he scouting talent? Absolutely! And as he’s been getting the lay of the land here in AEW, MVP sees so many young and gifted athletes with so much untapped potential. Some of them need motivation. Some need perhaps better management. And some just need to be hurt, beaten down again and again, to their knees. Because only when you’ve broken a man down to his knees can you teach him to stand and put him on the path to success. MVP says Swerve Strickland is a perfect example. So much to learn and yet he just won’t listen.
That is arrogance. It is that arrogance that the fans love, but it is also Swerve’s greatest weakness. Swerve thinks that one man can beat three. That is arrogance. Swerve calls himself the most dangerous man in AEW. With Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin around, that is arrogance. And arrogance, like pride, goeth before the fall. So MVP is paying attention to everything. For example, tonight, where MVP will be watching Ricochet in the main event. Oh, and that young luchador, Komander, what an impressive match. MVP likes that. And then tomorrow night on Collision, Shelton will find out exactly what Komander is made of, and what lessons he needs to learn.
The business plan has been set out, but will The Hurt Syndicate find the diamonds in the rough they are looking for? Or is it all fool’s gold compared to what they already have?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
On top of Shelton Benjamin VS Komander, and on top of the AEW Women’s World Championship No Disqualification match, Will Hobbs gets back into singles action as he takes on Bulk Bronson! With that All Star 8 Man Tag coming up, will going big be just the thing to power up the Powerhouse? Plus, relive the best of the last two weeks as the special AEW “November to Remember” music video debuts, set to Guns ‘n’ Roses’ hit song, November Rain!
Ricochet VS Dante Martin!
MVP just told the world he is watching this match, but surely so is The Don Callis Family. Will The One & Only show them something #OuttaThisWorld? Or will Angel Dorado remind us why he was the hottest high flyer not too long ago?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Ricochet and Dante shake hands to show there is respect here. They circle, tie up, and Ricochet headlocks for a takeover. Dante headscissors but Ricochet moves around, rolls Dante, then floats to a headlock. Dante fights back up, but Ricochet wrenches to wristlock. Dante goes for ropes but Ricochet keeps him back. Ricochet continues to keep Dante from the ropes, so Dante just front flips on his own! Dante arm-drags free and the fans fire up! Dante and Ricochet hurry to their feet, but Dante knees low! Dante whips but Ricochet blocks and reels Dante in for a back suplex, only for Dante to land on his feet!
Dante bobs ‘n’ weaves, shoves Ricochet, but Ricochet avoids the dropkick! Jackknife bridge, TWO as Dante bridges up! Dante spins Ricochet, but Ricochet turns that to a backslide!

Ricochet DROPKICKS Dante down and the fans fire up! We get a shot of MVP once again liking what he sees. Dante goes to a corner, Ricochet runs up, but Dante slips out! Ricochet hits buckles, then Dante goes up, around, and ROCKS Ricochet!

Dante rolls to the apron but Ricochet goes right after him. Ricochet kicks Dante to the floor, then hops down to fetch him. Ricochet CHOPS Dante, ROCKS him, and Dante staggers around the way. Ricochet fires up the fans, but Dante DAREDEVIL DROPKICKS Ricochet through the corner! Now it’s Dante firing up the fans as he goes after Ricochet. Dante brings Ricochet around to CHOP against the desk! Dante puts Ricochet in the ring, fires back up, and he hurries in, only for Ricochet to CLOBBER him. Ricochet drops another elbow, and another! Dante flounders but Ricochet drags him up. Ricochet CHOPS Dante to a corner.
Ricochet UPPERCUTS Dante, then whips corner to corner. Dante hits buckles so hard, that he tumbles up and over, then to the floor! Ricochet lets the ring count climb a bit, and Dante stirs at 4 of 10. Dante rises, Ricochet eggs him on a bit, but Dante’s still down at 7 of 10. Dante stands at 8 and rolls in, only for Ricochet to drop knees! Ricochet rains down some fists, but the ref reprimands about closes fists. Ricochet swears he was using palm strikes. Ricochet drags Dante up, snapmares, and KICKS him in the back! Ricochet clamps on with a chinlock, and even traps an arm. Ricochet now shifts into a grounded cobra twist!
Dante endures, even as Ricochet throws punches into the ribs. Dante fights, rises up, and fires body shots! Ricochet CHOPS in return! Ricochet then scoops and SLAMS Dante, and Rampage returns to single picture as he climbs a corner. The fans fire up as Ricochet reaches the top, but Dante stands! Ricochet jumps over Dante, but Dante BOOTS him! Dante fires a flurry of forearms but Ricochet shoves him back. Ricochet runs up, Dante again slips to the outside, and Dante ROCKS Ricochet again. Dante springboards up and around for a CARTWHEEL CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO!! Ricochet survives, he runs at Dante, but Dante goes up and over!

Ricochet arm-drags Dante away, then catches him, Wrench and NORTHERN LIGHTS! Roll through, deadlift, BRAINBUSTER! Ricochet roars while fans are torn, RUNNING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, TWO!! Dante survives and Ricochet is surprised!
MVP is himself a bit frustrated, but Ricochet fireman’s carries. Dante fires elbows, slips free, and goes to run, but Ricochet SUPERKICKS! Ricochet runs up, into an ELBOW! Dante uses the same up and over, only to get caught! BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cover, TWO!! Dante survives and Ricochet snarls. The fans fire up and Ricochet brings Dante up. Ricochet has the dragon sleeper, but Dante fires knees! Dante drops, victory rolls, TWO!! Ricochet catches Dante for a deadlift SAIDO!! The fans fire up as Ricochet takes aim! BANG and SPIRIT GUN!! Cover, Ricochet wins!
Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall
MVP nods, very impressed by The One & Only Ricochet. Ricochet’s arsenal certainly continues to grow, but he still shows respect to Dante. Will this momentum help Ricochet’s team take down The Don Callis Family this Wednesday Night Dynamite?
My Thoughts:
A very good Rampage, even with it being a five match night. Granted, it was clear Shida was going to win her match and LFI were going to win theirs. Well, so was Briscoe, but it was good stuff with Daivari getting a good showing and Rocky cancelling out Sterling so Briscoe would win. Great match from Rocky and Komander, too, and great win for Komander. Though, as MVP plugged in his promo, Komander is certainly losing to Shelton Benjamin, but I do appreciate the idea that anyone just floating around in the midcard could end up Hurt Syndicate material.
Ricochet VS Dante was a great main event, Ricochet of course won, but between being on Team Ospreay for Dynamite and Hurt Syndicate not leaving him alone, there are all kinds of possibilities for Ricochet. And great promos to hype up the two women’s matches we’re getting on Collision. That’s right, we’re getting two women’s matches! Harley continues to be hilarious, and I like this gag that she never has enough time to get her full madness out. Very good promo from Anna with Taya making a surprise appearance. Given Mariah is more than likely to win tomorrow night, Anna needs something outside of titles so I suppose a feud with The Vendetta could be something. Maybe it’s also a way to bring Tay Conti/Tay Melo back into story since it’d be a tag team feud?
My Score: 8.7/10
