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

Six Man Tag: The House of Black VS The Iron Savages!
Malakai Black, Brody King & Buddy Matthews have each suffered recent singles losses, so they’re getting back to what worked. Will they bring about the end for Jacked Jameson, Bulk Bronson & Beefcake Boulder? Or will we all be sippin’ sauce ‘n’ livin’ hoss after tonight?
Jameson has the mic to tell al the fat morons and skinny idiots to shut up! He introduces himself and the Savages and says that you can see, they have new gear and the best gear ahead of Full Gear. But with no match set, they’ll beat The House of Black to take their spot in the contender series and win those tag titles themselves! Because they are the Iron Savages! Sippin’ sauce, livin’ hoss, and taking all the low T meat riders to #TiddyCity! The fans boo and The House isn’t even affected. The teams sort out, and Brody steps to Boulder. The fans fire up as the big men step up. Boulder taunts Brody, but Brody CHOPS the meat!
Boulder sputters, but Bronson leaves him hanging! Jameson, too? The Savages give Boulder sauce to sip, and Boulder is fired up! Boulder runs up, into a BOOT! Brody then runs to LARIAT!

Winners: The House of Black, by pinfall
A dominant win from former AEW World Trios Champions, but which two will step forward to face FTR in the Full Gear Contenders Series? Will it be the end for the #TopGuys? But speaking of, here they come! The fans fire up as Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler are here in Providence! They have mics, and Malakai asks what they can do for FTR. Cash says he sees Buddy puffed up, just calm down. They’ve had ladder matches, cage matches, and taken years off their careers. This is just business. Dax Harwood says over the last four and a half years, Dax has made it his life’s mission to be AEW World Tag Team Champion.
Those belts have been put above their bodies, above their health, above their family, and even above God. But nothing changes except for the obstacles. Right now, The House is their obstacle. On the backs of FTR, on the backs of The House of Black, they built Collision. The fans cheer that. But for the first time ever on a Dynamite, House of Black VS the absolute best team on the planet, FTR! The one question is: Who’s it gonna be? Malakai & Brody step up! The fans cheer and Malakai tells FTR, “Good luck.” The Top Guys push past the Kings of the Black Throne, but will Dax & Cash be able to push through to Full Gear?
Lio Rush speaks.
“You don’t think that I see what’s going on around here? You don’t think that i feel it? There’s a shift happening. And we’re all a part of it. You see, there’s a reoccurring theme with me being All Elite again, and it’s that my past is creeping up on me, forcing to make a decision. Which is why I’ve held on to this.” The card from MVP! This is a golden ticket. What this is is a decision that he must make with people who like conducting business in a way he used to agree with. MVP, Shelton Benjamin, and his guy, Bobby Lashley. If you’ve been paying attention, you saw Lio beat Ariya Daivari last week and Lio beat Komander on Rampage.
Lio is here tonight, ready to be on fire. He feels great, but wants to feel greater. He wants to feel alive again! Which is why on Dynamite, Lio is calling out Swerve! Knock knock, open up> The Man of the Hour is back around. Lio smiles, but will he regret visiting Swerve’s House?
Private Party is here!
Providence fires up as Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy make their way to ringside, holding up their AEW World Tag Team Championships! They sit in their VIP section on stage as they watch what’s next.
Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series: Top Flight VS The Outrunners!
Darius & Dante Martin have been building momentum back up, and they could be hitting Mach Speed in time for Full Gear. That is, if they take The Youngest Men Alive seriously. Will Air Wolf & Angel Dorado grab up some golden tickets to Newark? Or will Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd prove they’ve got the right stuff?

BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
Presuming Roderick Strong even wins tonight against The Beast Mortos, his third match in the “MJF Chase” has been decided! It will be against The Don Callis Family’s Lance Archer, in a FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE match! Will the Savior of the Backbreaker make it through these trials of body and mind to make it to Full Gear? On top of that, a report comes in that Jon Moxley and the Death Riders are going to SEIZE the TBS SuperStation?! Just what gives this rogue AEW World Champion the authority to do that? Plus, we hear from Bobby Lashley ahead of his match with Swerve Strickland at Full Gear, and we hear from Will Ospreay after his shocking return last Wednesday night.
The Acclaimed speak.
Max Caster starts off with a “Yo, listen.” Anthony Bowens says they have requested this time because they wanna speak directly to LFI. Next week, Albany, Collision, the Contender Series, Caster & Bowens take their next step back to where they belong and that is the AEW World Tag Team Championships! So FYI, LFI, they’ll whip your ass! That’s right! Time to go eye to eye with the Best Wrestler Alive! So here’s a word of advice from the Handsome Heavyweight, the Bilingual Badass, Platinum Max! “Donde esta ustedes cajones? Where are your balls?” Because they’re dealing with- The Hurt Syndicate steps in!
Montel Vontavious Porter shakes his head and can’t believe Caster’s going on about balls and scissoring. What is wrong with him? How long has it been since they’ve held championships? Don’t they wanna be taken serious? Look at Caster’s father, an all pro NFL Super Bowl champion! Caster saw that big shiny ring growing up, so doesn’t he want the big shiny belt? Bowens says ENOUGH! MVP has Lashley & Shelton stand down. Bowens tells them that just because Billy Gunn isn’t here, doesn’t mean they can say whatever they want to The Acclaimed. And secondly, they aren’t interested. Bowens goes but MVP says he knows Caster still has the card.
Caster leaves, and MVP tells Shelton that they can’t just kill everybody. Shelton asks why not. Lashley says at least hit them in the mouth. But will The Hurt Syndicate soon be adding some platinum to the mix?
Roderick Strong VS The Beast Mortos!
Adam Cole is 2-0 in his MJF Chase, and this will be round two for the Savior of the Backbreaker. But it’s against “his boy,” who he still wants to join The Undisputed Kingdom. But will the menacing minotaur prove Jake The Snake is right? Is Mortos LFI 4 Life? Or can Roddy break through to him with a win?
The bell rings and Roddy tells Mortos he just wants to talk. Why are they in this position? “BEEAST!” Mortos growls at Roddy, but he tries to tune Roddy out. Roddy keeps shouting at him, so Mortos CLOBBERS him! Mortos fires hands, stomps away in the corner, but lets off to roar again. The fans cheer, Mortos runs up and he SMACKS Roddy right down! The fans fire up again as Mortos whips. Roddy grabs ropes, then CALF KICKS Mortos down! Roddy brings Mortos up but Mortos throat chops! Roddy sputters, Mortos stomps him to ropes, then brings him up. Mortos SMACKS Roddy back down, then roars again!
The fans rally as Mortos storms up on Roddy. Mortos whips Roddy corner to corner, then runs in to UPPERCUT, LARIAT and GAMANGIRI! Roddy sputters, but Mortos reels him in for a SNAP POWERSLAM! Cover, ONE!! Roddy shows some grit, and Mortos is conflicted. Perhaps he did think of Roddy as a friend, but this is about business. Mortos stalks Roddy, but Roddy mule kicks! Roddy CHOPS, ROCKS and CHOPS again! Mortos shoves Roddy down! Mortos stalks Roddy, the fans duel, and Roddy shoves Mortos back. Mortos gorilla presses Roddy but Roddy slips free! JUMP KNEE! CHOP! CHOP! FOREARM!
Roddy reels Mortos in, ANGLE SLAM! Cover, TWO! Mortos is tough but Roddy stomps away on him. Roddy CLUBS Mortos, but Mortos HEADBUTTS! Roddy falls and the fans fire up with Mortos! Mortos storms up on Roddy, stands him up, and CHOPS again! Roddy sputters to a corner, Mortos hesitates, but then he runs in for a SPLASH! Roddy sputters again but Mortos KNEES him low! Mortos whips corner to corner, runs in, but into a BOOT! Roddy fires forearm sand CHOPS! Then another knee! Roddy fires haymakers, then whips, but Mortos blocks! Mortos whips Roddy to POP-UP SAMOAN DROP!
Roddy sputters to a corner while the fans fire up with Mortos! Mortos seems less conflicted now, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Mortos stalks Roddy, then CHOKES him in the corner! The ref counts, Mortos stops, to then CHOKE Roddy again! The ref counts more, Mortos stops, and now he eggs Roddy on. Roddy rises, Mortos runs up, and he SPLASHES! Roddy flounders and Mortos snapmares him for a NECK TWIST! Cover, TWO! Mortos seethes but he clamps onto Roddy with a chinlock. Roddy fights the hold, fights to his feet, but Mortos fires knees and CHOSP! Mortos whips, then scoops Roddy to a BACKBREAKER! Mortos whips, and he scoops Roddy again, BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Roddy stays in this and Mortos grows frustrated.
Mortos stalks Roddy but Roddy mule kicks. Mortos kicks Roddy, then turns him around for a motorcycle stretch! Roddy endures but Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Roddy is still fighting the motorcycle stretch! Roddy fights as fans rally, but Mortos CLUBS Roddy on the back! Roddy ELBOWS Mortos in return! Then BOOTS, BOOTS again, and ENZIGIRIS! Roddy RAMS Mortos again and again, but Mortos stays up! Mortos swings, Roddy dodge to LEAPING LARIAT! The fans fire up and Roddy rises! Roddy hauls Mortos up, reels him in, but his back won’t let him lift. So Roddy dodges Mortos to SICK KICK! Cover, TWO!! Mortos survives and Roddy is sore and frustrated. Roddy drags Mortos back up as the fans rally, but the fireman’s carry doesn’t work.
Mortos shoves Roddy, scoops, torture rack, and then a flip around to a BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO!! Mortos is frustrated but Roddy survives again. The fans rally up, Mortos brings Roddy up but Roddy fires body shots. Mortos CLUBS away on Roddy, hauls him up, POWERÂ BREAKER! Then a DISCUS LARIAT!! Cover, TWO?!? Roddy survives and Mortos cannot comprehend it! The fans fire up and Mortos vows to end this! Mortos goes to a corner, a little conflicted again, but he powers Roddy up! Scoop and- NO, Roddy slips fere! Roddy dodges then STRONG KNEES!! Cover, Roddy wins!
Winner: Roderick Strong, by pinfall
But wait! Lance Archer scoops Roddy! BLACKOUT BOMB!! Brian Cage smiles as The Murderhawk Monster takes Roddy down! But will Archer take Roddy out on behalf of MJF? Or will that Worm- er, Wolf of Wrestling just have to prepare for two opponents on one night?
Mariah May speaks.
“I hate women’s wrestling. I really do. It never used to be this way. I was all for ‘hot girl graps’ and ‘women supporting women.’ ‘We’re all in this together, let’s make history!’ And then I won this title. And I realized I am surrounded by the weakest, saddest, most pathetic little s*its I have ever seen. They’re either dead, injured, beaten, sick, or can’t even look me in the eyes. Because they know the truth. I am not in this women’s division. These women are in my division. And if I was them, I would thank me for standing on their necks. My prime is being wasted because no one can touch me. It’s so lonely being the only.
“Years from now, people will wonder, ‘Who killed women’s wrestling?’ Yes, it was me. I did it.” The Glamour is arrogant as always, but is she going to regret growing her ego so big and so fast?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Lexy Nair is with the Queenslayer and brings up what Mariah just said because clearly, Anna is not happy. Anna tells Mariah that while she thinks “no one can touch you,” Anna did more than that. She slapped Mariah, kicked Mariah, and even beaten Mariah! And next time, she will choke Mariah out until she pisses herself! Anna is the only woman who has pinned Mariah since Mariah won at All In. So now, Anna is going all in. Mariah VS Anna, Round 3, NO DISQUALIFICATIONS! And if Anna loses this time, she will never challenge Mariah for the title again. Every woman here wants the title and Mariah’s head. On Dynamite, Anna drops Mariah to bring home both. #JustTryMe.
Mariah’s insults have incensed Anna, will Anna finally become The Star of the Show?
Kris Statlander VS Ashley Vox!
Mercedes Mone & Kamille tried to take her out with their car, so it was a miracle the #BornAgainKristen survived! Will this be a #StaturdayNightCollision Mone & Kamille need to watch closely?
The bell rings and Vox fires forearms! Kris grabs Vox by the neck! Vos still fires hands! Vox whips, Kris reverses, and then Kris runs in. Vox slips out, RAMS Kris, then goes up to headscissor, only for Kris to block! Kris then pops Vox around for an F5! The fans fire up as Kris ripcords Vox into a fireman’s carry, then the tuck! STATURDAY NIGHT FEVER! Cover, Kris wins!
Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall
Blink and you missed it, that’s how determined Kris is t- BACKSTABBER! Mone has Kris in the STATEMENT MAKER!! The fans boo and Kris taps, but it won’t stop The CEO! The refs rush out here to shout at Mone, but Mone only lets go when she’s satisfied! Mone raises her belts high, but Kris is rising up! Mone bails, but will she still have those belts by the end of the year?
La Faccion Ingobernable is backstage.
Jake The Snake follows Rush y Dralistico but they tell cameramen to move aside. Rush asks Mortos what’s wrong with him. How could he lose to Roddy? Did he forget what LFI is about?! They’re to show no mercy on anyone! Roddy is not your friend! He is not your familia! LFI is all that! So forget the Kingdom! They have a grand opportunity next week! Show him who you are! Mortos is riled up again, and Jake says some people, you just don’t piss off. LFI are those people. And Acclaimed, you’re just a bunch of squirrels playing around, trying to find a nut. No nuts here, you’ll get more than you can handle.
And remember one thing and one thing only: If you mess with the bull, you get the horns! Will Mortos & Dralistico destroy the hopes of Caster & Bowens without a second thought? Or will they get hit with that Mic Drop?
AEW TNT Championship: Jack Perry VS Action Andretti!
With The Young Bucks abandoning The Elite, The Scapegoat has put it on himself to push his twisted idea of progress forward. He has Daniel Garcia breathing down his throat, yet he goes to Lowell, Massachusetts just to call out Yota Tsuji. And now, he put this open challenge out, only for it to be answered in an instant. Will Jack Perry be able to keep up with everything he’s taking on? Or will this match be a Sight to See?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is ready to make a sacrifice!
The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, and Jack powers Action back to a corner. The ref counts, Jack lets off slowly, then pokes action. Action says okay, whatever. The fans sing, “Oh~ Cry Me a River.” The two tie up, Action waistlocks but Jack wrenches. Action rolls, bridges, handsprings, and wrenches back. Jack breaks free, headlocks, but Action powers up and out. Jack runs Actin over, then soaks up the heat. Things speed up. Action drops, hurdles, but Jack CHOP BLOCKS! Jack POSTS Action, then joins him on the apron. Jack KICKS Action, drags him up, CLUBS him on the back, then APRON BACK SUPLEXES!
Action writhes, Jack lounges, and the fans fire up. Jack brings Action up, whips him into steel steps, then refreshes the ring count. Jack drags Action up, for a BACK SUPLEXÂ ON THE STEPS! The fans are torn but Jack revels in it all while Collision goes picture in picture.
Jack drags Action up, puts him in the ring, and then takes his time stepping back in. Jack soaks up cheers and jeers before he brings Action around. Action fires body shots, CHOPS, and CHOPS again! Action whips but Jack reverses to ELBOW Action down! Cover, TWO! Jack is annoyed, but wait, does he throw a tooth at the fans?! Hopefully not, that’s unsanitary. Jack snap suplexes Action, covers, TWO! Jack smirks, then sits Action up to KNEE him in the back! Action endures as Jack clamps on a chinlock, digging that knee into Action’s back. Action fights but Jack shifts to a headlock. Jack grinds Action down, and grins as he smothers Action!
The ref reprimands so Jack stops. Action fights up, pries at the hold, but Jack wrangles him down to KICK! Jack stands Action up to CHOP back down! Jack scuffs Action to a corner, then CHOPS again! Jack digs his knee in, then stands on Action in the corner! The ref counts but Jack talks trash on fans. Jack steps away at 4, dares fans to do something, especially Real-Life Peter Griffin. Jack drags Action up to CLUB him down! Collision returns to single picture as Action fights the suplex, and ack CLUBS him again! Jack suplexes, Action cradle counters! TWO!! Jack swings, Action bobs ‘n’ weaves to kick a leg!
Action CHOPs, BUZZSAWS, and deadlift- NO, the back won’t let him suplex! Jack shoves Action to ropes, but Action handsprings to BACK ELBOW! The fans fire up and Action deadlift suplexes, FALCON ARROW! Cover, TWO!! Jack survives and Action grows frustrated. Action drags Jack up to fireman’s carry, but Jack elbows free. Jack goes to the apron, pulls hair and KNEES Action in the back! Jack drags Action to the apron, CLUBS him, then hoists him up. Action fights the back suplex this time and fires elbows! Jack CHOPS! Action ROCKS! Jack CHOPS, Action ROCKS! Action fires a flurry, then fires up. Action runs but into an ELBOW!

The fans fire up and Action runs again, STANDING SHOOTING STAR, onto knees! V-TRIGGER!! A shot at The Best Bout Machine before the GLASS JAW BREAKER!! Cover, Jack wins!
Winner: Jack Perry, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
The Scapegoat makes Action his newest sacrifice, and he grabs a mic, only for Daniel Garcia to appear! The fans cheer as Red Death storms his way down to the ring. Jack sighs as he turns around, and he lets Garcia have the mic already. Garcia says unfortunately, this isn’t about talking to the fans, but about talking to Jack. Garcia wants Jack to understand, they disagree on a lot of things, but the one they disagree on the most is that Jack thinks they’re alike. And Jack thinks he’s special because he came back from a “vacation,” hair all in his face, driving in a beat up school bus, when really, he’s a multimillionaire “Nepo Baby” who was handed everything his entire life.
And Jack does not care about anyone else, he doesn’t fight for anyone else, and that is a major difference between them. Garcia fights for the people he cares about. Garcia fires for Daddy Magic, he fights for Private Party, he fights for everyone in the back. You think that makes Garcia weak? No, that makes him strong! THE PEOPLE make Garcia strong! And Jack, Garcia will never, ever be anything like you. But you know what Garcia will be? November 23rd, Full Gear, Garcia becomes T N T CHAMPION! Perry smirks, and asks for the mic back. Garcia hands it over, and Jack says Garcia can have his match. But he’s still not ready.
Jack drops the mic, pushes past Garcia, and clearly thinks it’s a given he will still be golden. But will The Scapegoat learn why this is the man known as Red Death?
Julia Hart is… back to being a cheerleader?
She has the skirt, the pompoms and the letterman’s jacket. But then the shadowy shroud watches from the stands. “The House of Black… Always Wins…!” Cheerleader Julia turns her cheer into one for The House of Black. They always win. They will fight to the death and make you scream. And scream she does. The shroud stands, armed with a bow ‘n’ arrow. And she says, “You’ll never be good enough.” She then SHOOTS Hart through the heart! But then she wakes up! Is the Princess of the Dark Throne on her way back?
Backstage interview with Daniel Garcia.
Lexy finds Garcia talking with Matthew Menard and announces that it’s now official, Garcia will have his TNT Championship match. Menard apologizes to Lexy for interrupting, but he was just talking with Garcia. Lexy can stick around if she wants, because surely the world wants to hear this. Menard says Perry thinks Garcia’s not ready, but all Garcia has to do is turn it up to the max. Menard knows Danny is ready, Mama Garcia knows Danny is ready, the WHOLE WORLD knows Danny is ready! All Danny has to do is prove them right. Prove them right and take the title from that prick! Garcia says he will. Let’s get it!
Nick Wayne w/ The Patriarchy VS AR Fox!
The Prodigy has a camera at gorilla as he says he heard through the grapevine that today is a very special day. Today is the anniversary of AR Fox’s father passing away. Good thing that he’s dead, because Papa Fox would disown Fox after what Nick’s about to do to him. A Prodigy never forgets. Will this grudge for what Fox & Swerve did to him lead Nick to a brutal victory? Or will- FOX DIVES ONTO NICK! Nick crossed a line so Fox throws him around ringside!

The distraction was just enough to save Nick! Nick hurries to haul Fox up, underhook, but Fox trips Nick! Jackknife bridge, TWO! Nick hurries to a corner! Fox runs in, but is sent into buckles! Nick then SNAP DRAGONS again! And then the underhooks, ROLLING TIGER DRIVER!! Cover, Nick wins!
Winner: Nick Wayne, by pinfall
Mother is proud of her boy, though she and “Superbad Stepbrother” Kip did help hand that win to Nick. But Nick isn’t done, he wants to make Fox pay for his past! Kip brings Fox up, and Mother Wayne gives Nick a picture of Fox’s father! And then a staple gun!! They give Fox the Swerve treatment of STAPLING the picture to Fox’s face!! The fans boo but Nick grins at what he has done. The Patriarchy stands over Fox, will they do even worse to make Nick a champion?
Backstage interview with MXM Collection.
Lexy is now with Mansoor & Mason Madden, and brings up this new sort of “collaboration” with Johnny TV. It seems there is an update? Yes, that’s right, “Lexington.” Mansoor says “Johnathon Television” requested they slide into his DMs and that is exactly what they did. Mansoor’s message requested Johnny join them in a Trios match for next week’s Collision. His reply? We’re waiting for it. Oh, okay, he’s read it. The three dots are here! And Johnny says… He already has a match with Daniel Garcia. Darn it. But wait, there’s more! They can come with him ringside! That’s great! What about the pic Mason sent him?
Johnny says… “Nice hog.” Wait, what? Oh, it’s a piggy. Okay, Mason, let’s go, Johnny TV style! They pose, and slide?! Wait, someone is pushing them on a dolly cart? Sebastian, you fool, you’re going the wrong way! Now you’re in the shot, you bald idiot! Sebastian goes in reverse and MXM is furious. But will “MXM TV” become a thing?

The Death Riders may have gold between the world title and the world trios titles, but will that change once Cassidy kicks it into Full Gear?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here, really packed full of action and story. While I criticized using Roddy VS Mortos as a replacement for Roddy VS Cole drama in this build, I do appreciate Mortos playing up how emotionally conflicted he was during his match. It is a little silly to think Mortos actually liked The Undisputed Kingdom, but he and Roddy had a great match, and that was a great win for Roddy. But with Roddy VS Archer announced during the match, I suppose it made sense for Archer to attack Roddy. Next week’s Dynamite should’ve still been Cole VS Roddy, winner gets MJF, but I suppose there can still be drama over only one of them winning, and the other has to force himself to be happy for his friend. What would be wild is if RODDY wins and Cole is the one swallowing his pride.
Kris of course wins a squash match to build momentum, but then I should’ve figured Mone would attack her. Just saw her do that to Hazuki at the NJPW Strong show, so it’s just the CEO’s MO to go after her challengers in an attempt to weaken them before the title match. I wouldn’t mind if Hazuki returned the favor to integrate stories between AEW and NJPW. Honestly, same goes for Yota Tsuji showing up on an AEW show after Jack Perry went after him. Jack of course beat Action in the title match, but good promos from him and Garcia to hype up their title match. With no Bucks around, maybe the rest of The Elite starts losing gold, and Jack is first.
Great match from Nick and Fox to revisit their feud from the past, and Nick sure is learning from “Father” Christian by bringing up Fox’s dead dad. The Patriarchy of course had to cheat to win, but at least Nick’s rolling tiger driver won instead of being buried like it was against Ricochet. Nick indirectly calls out Swerve, too, with the staple gun stuff. Maybe after the Hurt Syndicate stuff, Swerve revisits this feud to settle things with Nick. Speaking of, good promos from Lio Rush and Acclaimed in connection to the Hurt Syndicate. As Top Flight flounders, maybe Lio jumps ship to be Hurt Syndicate going into the Continental Classic season.
Acclaimed are also just a moment away from falling apart, and their match with LFI next week will be a big part of that. Maybe Acclaimed win, maybe they don’t, really depends on how the tag title Fatal 4 Way’s Heel-Face ratio is looking after this next week. The House of Black of course squashed The Iron Savages, and I even like the Julia Hart return teaser. Good promo from House of Black and FTR to establish it’s Brody & Malakai. With Outrunners beating Top Flight to qualify for the title match, it would be interesting if the #FTRunners were forced to fight each other during that match.
Very good promos from Mariah and Anna to establish a last chance title match. Pretty sure Anna loses, though, as I still think they’re waiting on a Mariah VS Mina feud before Mariah loses the belt. Hilarious promo from MXM Collection to plug a team-up with Johnny TV next week, even if it they’re just in his corner. I feel like we could also get a very good Six Man Tag of #MXMTV VS Garcia & Private Party to warm up Garcia & Private Party before Full Gear. And great title match main event, but of course Moxley made sure his guys won by any means necessary. Good brawl to close the night, but all the more reason Yuta’s gonna get involved and cost Cassidy.
My Score: 8.8/10

Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee Paquette is with the wild Aussie and says it has been a wild week for her. Or, weeks. Or even a few months. Quite the year, really. Harley says yes, let’s recap, shall we? Deep breath and Harley begins: she made a calculated plan to join The Outcasts to break up a couple that ended up getting married and having a baby, so congrats to them; Harley was mauled by Mariah May, trounced by Toni Storm, and not to mentioned a woman named after the atmosphere, and even a doctor; standing next to her mentor, Saraya, and her entire Knight family, she then made her Wembley Stadium debut appearance, only to be assaulted by an even more “Bri’ish person,” who loves to dress in 1970s vintage attire!
Later, said woman put Harley through two tables at Arthur Ashe Stadium, and those tables were covered in tiny toy cars. And then Harley had an encounter with Anna Jay’s fat ass, non-sexually, then it was Tacoma, Stockton, and then Harley was a kitty cat for Day of the Dead, to be sacrificed at the altar by Thunderrrrrrrosa, so yes, all in all, quite a rough year for Harley. But what does the future hold? Renee says they’re not out of time. What? Renee apologizes, Harley shouts, “Fear the wrath of Harley Cameron!” Will all this fire inside of Harley burn whoever faces her next? Or will Harley just end up with burnout?

Backstage interview with Roderick Strong.
Lexy Nair asks him how he feels about what we just saw. Roddy says if you want his thoughts, here they are: He is NOT surprised MJF would resort to hiring The Don Callis Family to do his dirty work. MJF is the biggest scumbag coward Roddy has ever met. As Brian Cage and Lance Archer, and well, “JAAAKE! ‘The Snake’ Roberts.” Yes, The Snake slithers in and Roddy says he was just talking about Jake’s former client. Jake says yeah, former. He isn’t here about Archer, he’s here about Beast Mortos. Roddy needs to back off already. But Mortos is Roddy’s boy. No he’s not, Mortos is LFI now. And LFI has a very important match coming up with The Acclaimed.
That means Roddy is messing things up. Mortos needs to be focused, ready, and the killer that he is. If Roddy can’t back himself off, then maybe Mortos will back Roddy up for him. Roddy says Mortos is his boy, but if Jake wants Mortos to try, then hey, Roddy needs a second win. Have Mortos meet Roddy on Collision. Jake grins and says what a fool. Has The Savior of the Backbreaker just doomed himself? Or will he find a way to break through to “his boy,” Beast Mortos?
The Vendetta speaks.
Deonna Purrazzo tells us, “A girl once broke my arm, so I broke both of hers. It was retribution.” Taya Valkyrie says, “A man broke my heart once. So I stabbed his tires! That was revenge.” Deonna says, “It can be immensely satisfying to collect what we’re owed. But sometimes, that’s just not enough. Sometimes it’s about more than simple reprisals.” Sometimes, it’s about sending a message. And not just to the intended targets. Hell, those people might not be around for long. The message is for everyone else. Unless you’re prepared to invite a vendetta, The Vendetta, you know who to avoid. And if you’re trying to send a message of your own and need a little help, you know where to find them.

It is official! Jake The Snake is going to make The Beast Mortos send his message to Roderick Strong.

Winner: Lio Rush, by pinfall
The Bad Child’s bad mood may not be fully lifted, but this win surely helps. Will we get part 3 sooner rather than later?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here, no need for a fifth match that would’ve just been filler. Shida VS Viva was a great opener, a great return for Shida, she can surely have something title wise past Full Gear what with Kris VS Mone already established and potentially Mariah VS Mina as the next thing. Great promo from Harley with her recap of her own 2024. Hard to get a ready on Harley’s popularity but she could start to make her way up the ranks. And good promo from The Vendetta. That last line teases them adding more members, and I wouldn’t mind seeing them get at least one more person on their side so that person can kinda be the scrub that takes losses in matches for them.
Great Triple Threat Tag to help along some of these character turns. Infantry are strong Heels now, The Kingdom are becoming strong Faces now, and then Dark Order was just kinda there to take the loss. Archer & Cage beating down Kingdom adds to this feud between the full Undisputed Kingdom and the Don Callis Family on behalf of MJF, even though Don Callis Family also has beef with Ospreay, Ricochet, Hobbs and Mark Davis. Good promo from Roddy and Jake The Snake to set up what could in a roundabout way be the blowoff of this Mortos story. Kind of a sad substitute for how we’re NOT getting Cole VS Roddy 1v1. As I said on Dynamite, Cole and Roddy surely get that Triple Threat with MJF and that’s where the tension between Cole and Roddy happens.
And great stuff out of Top Flight Airlines, aka the full faction of Top Flight and friends. Quick aside: after Leila lost her wig last week, she’s letting her natural hair show and she looks great as always. Another aside: AEW still can’t keep track of its own stuff. When advertising Collision, Excalibur phrases it as “Jack Perry puts out an Open Challenge,” but the graphic clearly shows Action Andretti has already accepted it, so that’s why I just said Action accepted. I feel like part of the problem is Collision has been prerecorded the last few weeks, taped on Thursdays to air on Saturdays. Rampage is recorded Wednesday night after Dynamite. There is miscommunication and it’s just a bit annoying that it’s been five years, they can watch WWE as an example, yet they still mess this up.
Top Flight VS Beef & JD was great, the fans loved both teams, but it made sense for Top Flight to win going into their contender series match tomorrow night. Top Flight VS Outrunners is going to be great, but I feel like Outrunners will win because they were given FTR’s seal of approval weeks ago. Lio VS Komander Round 2 was just as great as last week’s match, I really do hope they give us Round 3, winner moving on to a title match. Granted, with a lot of Heels holding titles here in AEW right now, maybe Komander wins to then move on and challenge like, Jack Perry, to then lose and simply give the champ a great defense.
My Score: 8.8/10
