Jay White w/ Bullet Club Gold VS Penta El Zero Miedo w/ Alex Abrahantes!

Winner: Jay White, by pinfall
King Switch survives thanks to his pawns! Juice makes sure “Cardblade” joins in on the celebration, but White makes sure to get a mic. “Hey cut my music, cut my music.” Oh, look, another thing he stole from MJF. White tells Houston to hush but they say “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” White says no no no, y’know who sucks? MJF sucks! Because where is he? Not here! Y’know who is here? J A Y! Because J A Y, unlike MJF, is a real world champion! A truly ELITE world champion! Fans boo but White tells Max that he’s still waiting on an answer to that generous offer! Probably because MJF cannot find anyone who wants to team up with him to take on the Bang Bang Gang!
Fans boo more but Jay tells MJF he could just get that gimp squad again. If not, tough luck. Until then, White will lead by example! And Juice says spoiler alert! Tonight, in our main event, the Stray Bullet, #RockHardRobinson is going to win the “Dynamite Dozen Douchebag Battle Royal!” And after he throws 11 men over the top rope and win the right to face MJF in Philly for his stupid little ring, which Juice’s TJ Maxx $24.99 ring is much better than, Juice will knock MJF out! They are taking the ring, to PAWN it! And Juice promises us he’ll just get another gold tooth. Fans chant for TJ Maxx as the Gunns take the mic.
Austin says if they’re not down with that, they’ve got two words for ya! GUNS UP! With all these Ass Boys aiming for him, will Maxwell Jacob Friedman make it out of Autumn with anything at all?
Backstage interview with MJF.
Renee Paquette is with the AEW World Champion, and he smiles as Renee brings up BCG. What is his reaction to them? MJF says he could’ve ran out there like “every dumb good guy in professional wrestling history” and gotten beat down 4v1, but he’s not a good guy, he’s a Scumbag! Plus, Daddy MJF is doing commentary in that very main event, the Dynamite Dozen Battle Royal. Lord knows MJF isn’t wasting his entrance pop here in Texas. But MJF tells Jay White that MJF WILL get back Triple B before Full Gear. MJF was at New York Comic-Con, and he couldn’t help but be reminded of White seeing all those frail, weak losers walking around with belts, cosplaying as world champions.
MJF tells Juice that he prays to God Juice DOES win, because then next week, it will be Juice’s Left Hand o’ God VS MJF’s Right Hand o’ the Devil! And MJF says when they connect, there will be blood. But it won’t be on MJF’s hands, no. It’ll be on the hands of Juice’s buddy, Jay White. Renee then asks about an update on Adam Cole. MJF wants to say something but The Acclaimed walk in. Caster politely says hi to Renee and MJF, and says if MJF wants that world title back, all he has to do is set up the 8 Man Tag: BCG VS MJF & The Acclaimed. Then they can have all the belts and scissor after they win.
MJF says of course Caster wants to scissor. But uh, no thanks. Caster says okay, then how about Caster gets in the Dynamite Dozen Battle Royal, he wins that, then wins that diamond ring and MJF will have to put a ring on it. Ugh, freakin’ stalker. MJF leave and Bowens says they went over this. Less is more. Billy says MJF is a scumbag. Yeah, but he’s Caster’s scumbag. The others all sigh, but will Platinum Max really win to go for the diamonds?
AEW Women’s World Title Eliminator: Hikaru Shida VS Emi Sakura!
The Shining Samurai is the historic THREE-TIME AEW Women’s World Champion, but she once again faces her former sensei in the Queen of Joshi. The series record is 8-2, still in Emi’s favor, but Shida has won the previous two! Will Shida get the hattrick even in this? Or will she owe her teacher a title opportunity at Full Gear?
The moment Shida is in the ring, Emi attacks! The ref reprimands and fans boo but Emi drags Shida up to snatch the belt! Fans boo more but the ref takes the belt. Shida ROCKS Emi, the bell rings, but Emi wrenches out to ELBOW! Then she runs to RAM Shida! Shida RAMS back and neither falls! Fans fire up and Emi CHOPS! Shida brushes off to ROCK Emi! Emi CHOPS! Shida forearms, Emi CHOPS, repeat! Shida ROCKS Emi again, but Emi nods and CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! MACHINE GUN CHOPS! The ref counts, Emi lets off, then runs, CROSSBODY into a KNEE! Shida ghost pins, TWO! Rolling rolling rolling clutch, and it lands on Shida! TWO!!!
Emi escapes but Shida just fires up! Shida brings Emi up, puts her in a corner, then rains down fists! The fans count along all the way to TEN! Shida fires up, kicks Emi from the corner then adjusts, to MISSILE- NO, Emi dodges! And DROPKICKS back! Emi puts Shida in a corner, she runs corner to corner, and CROSSBODIES in the corner! Fans rally but Emi “sips tea.” Emi also tosses Shida’s kendo stick away while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Emi drags Shida up, CLUBS her, then stomps her. Shida hits back with body shots but Emi pokes her in the eyes! The ref reprimands, Shida fires back, but Emi TOSSES her by her hair! Shida flounders to a corner, Emi grins, and she stomps Shida in the corner! Emi scrapes her boot off Shida, lets off as the ref counts, and then Emi drags Shida up. Emi CLUBS Shida, CLAWS her back, then slaps her around! Shida SLAPS back! Emi laughs but Shida SLAPS and SLAPS and CLUBS away! Emi pokes Shida in the eyes again! The ref reprimands, Emi brings Shida up and underhooks, stalling… TIGER BACKBREAKER!
Emi smiles and has a cocky cover, TWO! Shida is tougher than that, so Emi stands on Shida’s hair, and TWISTS! Shida writhes, Emi brings her up on the ropes, and then Emi says she is Your Highness! Shida stands, but Emi CHOPS her down! Emi paces around, eggs Shida on, and then CHOPS her down again! Emi smirks as Shida stands again, and CHOPS her back down! Cover, TWO! Emi reels Shida in, puts her on ropes, but Shida blocks the whip! Emi pushes and whips, but Shida ducks ‘n’ dodges, DOUBLE LARIATS take them both down! Dynamite returns to single picture as the fans rally up.
A standing count starts, Shida crawls to ropes, and Shida drags herself up. Emi rises, stands, and she storms up to CLAW Shida’s back! The ref reprimands but Emi pulls hair to bend Shida in the ropes. The ref counts, Emi lets go and Shida falls to the apron. Emi CHOPS, runs, and BLASTS Shida off the apron! Shida flounders to the ramp, Emi puts her against the apron, and Emi goes up the ramp. Emi soaks up the heat, runs back in, but into a RANA! Emi hits apron, Shida puts her in!

Shida runs, but Emi scoops to a BACKBREAKER!
But Shida has an arm! Emi fights out of the Fujiwara, but Shida ROCKS her! Shida suplexes, FALCON ARROW! Cover, TWO!! Shida fires up again, KATANA KNEE!!! Cover, SHIDA WINS!!
Winner: Hikaru Shida, by pinfall (denies Emi a title opportunity)
The student surpasses the master for a third time! The score may be 8-3, but has Emi accepted that Shida is the superior?
Backstage interview with Adam “Edge” Copeland.
Renee is excited to see the Rated R Superstar in AEW. When he made his debut at WrestleDream, everyone here went nuts, she still has goosebumps. But so much has changed from then until now. Can he walk us through what’s been going on? Things haven’t been going smoothly, have they? No, they have not. And he is still confused. He doesn’t understand what’s happened. The idea of coming here was for him to retire alongside Christian Cage. And at first, he sounded onboard. Until it got real. Edge talked with Tony Khan and saw that Christian no longer wanted that. And that was confusing to Edge.
Until he replayed the relationship through the years. Edge says they met in the sixth grade. They’ve known each other 40 YEARS. So Edge winds back to public school, Christian was the new kid in town, and Edge was used to help him. They found they both loved pro-wrestling, and that was it. They were solidified as best friends. So it was high school, college, but there were instances where Edge saw the truth. They were to write an essay, the winner would get free training at the gym. So they both agreed, they’ll write into the contest, m ay the best man win. Edge won, Christian didn’t. And Edge was the one giving Christian, the confidence to still get into training.
Then Edge gets the “dream gig.” And for six months, whoever had an ear, Edge put in a good word for Christian. Wasn’t supposed to, but he did! He always believed in Christian, is truly the most underrated wrestler in history. But for whatever reason over the years, it has been Adam & Jay, Edge & Christian, Rated R Superstar being the leading man and that wasn’t anything Edge wanted. But it stuck with Christian, and that is a cancer that festered and now it clouds Christian’s decision making. Christian feels Edge had a rocket strapped to his back, which minimizes the actual amount of work Edge has put into his career.
This is all Edge has ever wanted to do, this is all Christian has ever wanted to do. And yet, Christian would still be working that IT job in Southern Ontario if not for Edge pushing him and opening doors. Edge doesn’t wanna think that way but he can’t come to any other conclusion. Renee says it is crazy, too. After all those moments, here they are, so many years later, to have the careers they’ve both had, from fame to fortune. And yet there’s still this jealousy, this competition, and it’s bubbled up. Edge says he and Christian are godfathers to each other’s daughters, why is Christian acting like this?
Edge knows Christian is riding high, Edge didn’t wanna take the spotlight or even the TNT title. He doesn’t want to. But Christian will come crashing down. Then if he doesn’t want what Christian has, what does Edge want here in AEW? Edge vows that no matter what, he’s not fighting Christian. But what that leaves for Edge, he doesn’t know. He just knows that eventually, Nick Wayne & Luchasaurus will leave Christian high and dry. And when that happens, Edge will be there to pick him up. Will this go as the Rated R Superstar thinks? Or will Captain Charisma and his cronies prove him wrong?
Wardlow VS Ryan Nemeth!
The War Dog is continuing on his path of destruction, but wait! The Hollywood Hunk attacks first! The bell rings, Wardlow pushes Ryan back, and Ryan throws hands! Wardlow grabs Ryan by his head and SQUEEZES! Then he reels Ryan in, but Ryan fights the bomb! Wardlow still POWERBOMBS him!! Wait, THAT’S IT! Wardlow wins!
Winner: Wardlow, by referee stoppage
A single, almost Last Ride style bomb, is all that Wardlow needed. Schiavone hurries to get an interview. We all know he’s back, but what is Wardlow back for? Wardlow shows his wristband, and it says “MJF.” Fans chant for Wardlow but he pushes through Schiavone! Fans boo, is the War Dog taking no prisoners this time?
Backstage interview with
Renee is now with The Cleaner, moments away from his match with Kyle Fletcher, the first ever 1v1. How is Omega feeling? Well, this year has been tough. Not the greatest run, don’t even bring up the win loss record. But Fletcher’s done a wonderful thing, and that is remind Omega who he is. Omega is the measuring stick of AEW. Fletcher wants to prove he’s in the conversation, he has to go after Omega. So first, it’ll be Fletcher. Then it’ll be the Don Callis Family. Then after that, well, maybe we see the Kenny Omega of old getting the AEW World Championship. Renee likes the sound of that.
But in walks MJF. Omega says hey, Max. MJF says he just wanted to tell Omega that he’s always been a big fan. Omega appreciates that. MJF wants to shake hands, and Omega says okay. They shake hands, and then MJF whispers, “13 days, b*tch.” MJF leaves and Omega says okay, we’ll see about that. MJF isn’t calling out Omega for Halloween, he means he’ll be eclipsing Omega’s great AEW World title reign on Halloween! Will the real trick be making it past that mark?
AEW checks in on Adam Cole.
He’s still at Roddy’s house?! Mike Bennett has bongos and says, “Yo! Check this out!” He does a bongo cover of Trapt’s Headstrong, but it’s now Neck Strong. Matt Taven says that’s good stuff. Cole serves Roddy his coffee. Thanks, can’t wait. PPPT! EW! Cole, you know he hates HOT coffee. Okay, okay, Cole is out of here. ADAM! Sorry, sorry. Him being hurt, he just… But y’know what Roddy is craving? Remember, when they first started in ROH, how Cole used to make the best PB&J sandwiches? Heck yeah! He still got the measuring cups? Cole says if they want PB&J, then okay, he’ll go make some. They chant “P B J! P B J!” as Cole sets to work.
Another montage later, and the sandwiches are served. Good as they used to- Adam, you know he hates crust! All you had to do is cut the crusts! STOP! STOP! Cole has done everything to help Roddy, has NOT talked to MJF in weeks, and dammit, he needs surgery on his foot! He is DONE! But ADAM! ADAAAM~! ADAAAAAAM~! Nope, he gone. Roddy knows what he has to do to get his bestie back. He’ll have to be nice to that scumbag, MJF. Wouldn’t that have solved everything from the start?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
It gives him absolutely no pleasure for him to introduce the next guest, Don Callis. Fans boo as the Last Supper painting has been updated to include “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs. Callis, Hobbs & Konosuke Takeshita go to the ring, and Schiavone saw a sign in the crowd that said “Callis is worse than Dallas.” Kinda says it all in Houston. Well Callis has something to say! Fans boo but Callis says last week, the Don Callis Family made history! In over 30 YEARS of one of the greatest careers of all time, Jericho has never been manhandled like he was last week, because last week, Will Hobbs BROKE Jericho in half!
Hobbs says February 22, 1998 was supposed to be the greatest day of Hobbs’ life! He had the chance to meet his hero, Chris Jericho! Hobbs’ grandma, the woman who raised him, got Hobbs front row tickets to see Jericho, and what’d Jericho do? He walked past them, told that lady to shut up, and then looked at Hobbs and said to sit his ass down! 25 YEARS of frustration! A seven-year-old child swore that one day, the day he got to look Jericho dead in his eye, he would hurt Jericho over and over and over again! And as Hobbs looked down at Jericho’s lifeless body, what’d he do? He picked yo’ ass up and SPINEBUSTERED him again and again and again!!
The footage replays on the tron and Hobbs says he loved every moment. Callis says all Hobbs’ life, he was told by those who loved him to bottle up the hate and the anger and the violence. But now Hobbs has a new family, and when you’ve got a family like the Don Callis Family, you don’t need to bottle it up. You can be what you are! And what Hobbs is, is a 6’3″, 275 pound KILLING MACHINE, and he is not done with Jericho! Hobbs will be unleashed on AEW, because the DCF is on a roll. Schiavone, they are undefeated these four months, except for one match, where Sammy Guevara got hurt by Jericho!
The fans tell Callis to STFU, but Callis says that to substitute for Sammy, he had to get a “scab worker” to come in. A young man named Kyle Fletcher, who as great as he is, let them down! Fletcher SCREWED Callis! But wait, here comes Fletcher! The Aussie Arrow storms into the ring and gets in Callis’ face! Hobbs gets in Fletcher’s face but Callis says no, he wants to hear the man out. Shows a lot of balls coming out here. Fletcher snatches the mic to say as he recalls, he did that as a favor after Ospreay called Fletcher saying Callis BEGGED someone to step up. And maybe Fletcher was the weakest link that night, but tonight he has a chance 1v1 with Omega!
And Fletcher promises that he’ll show everyone, especially Callis, that he doesn’t need any help to beat Kenny Omega! Callis says he likes the confidence! So tell you what. Fletcher beats Omega tonight, and then they might have something to discuss next week. But speaking of, here comes Omega! Will the Best Bout Machine get back on track at Fletcher’s expense?
Kyle Fletcher VS Kenny Omega!
The bell rings and and Fletcher attacks! Fletcher CLUBS then CHOPS Omega, then CHOPS again! Fletcher uses his shirt to CHOKE Omega! The ref counts, the fans rally for Omega, and Fletcher lets off at 4. But then Omega ROCKS Fletcher, JABS him, and repeat! Omega fires off in the corner, CHOPS again, then stalks Fletcher along ropes. Omega stands Fletcher up to CHOP! Fletcher staggers around, Omega whips him to ropes but Fletcher reverses to CLOBBER him! Fletcher rains down fists as the fans boo, but Fletcher storms around. Omega goes to ropes, the fans rally up, but Fletcher drags Omega up. But Omega blocks a suplex to suplex Fletcher!
Fletcher bails out, Omega hurries to PLANCHA! Direct hit on Fletcher and fans fire up! Fletcher flounders, Omega says he might be getting to old for that, and then he brings Fletcher up. Omega brings Fletcher around, puts him in the ring, and fans cheer as Omega gives a thumbs up. Fletcher runs up, Omega counter punches then ROUNDHOUSES! But Fletcher DROPKICKS Omega down! Fans fire up, Omega bails out, and Fletcher pursues. Fletcher whips Omega hard into railing! Omega tumbles over into the front row and fans fire up! Fletcher throws up the crown for United Empire, then he drags Omega up again.
Fans rally but Fletcher puts Omega in the ring. Fletcher storms up on Omega in a corner and whips him corner to corner. Fletcher runs in but Omega goes up and over, rolls and returns, to RANA! Fletcher bails out again as fans fire up, and the Terminator Drums begin! Omega builds speed, but Fletcher trips him! Fletcher drags Omega out to CHOP! Omega CHOPS! Fletcher CHOPS! Omega CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! Omega makes Fletcher take a seat so he can CHOP more! Fans fire up and Omega gets some space. Omega runs back in, but Fletcher dropkicks legs out! Omega crashes into railing, and Dynamite goes picture in picture!
Fletcher catches his breath, drags Omega up, and the ref wants this in the ring. Fletcher makes Omega take a seat to CHOP! Then Fletcher runs Omega to THROW him over railing! Crowns up as Fletcher lets Omega flounder in the stands. Fletcher then fetches Omega, TOSSES him back over, and he puts Omega in the ring. Fletcher then storms up and he CHOPS Omega in the chest! Omega punches low, but Fletcher CHPOS! Fletcher eggs Omega on, stands him up, and then scoops to SLAM! Fletcher covers, TWO! Omega shakes his head, he isn’t going down that easy. Fletcher drags Omega up to then scoop, but Omega slips free!
Omega BOOTS Fletcher from a corner, runs up and he SLAM DUNK BULLDOGS! Fans fire up while both men are down, and a standing count begins. Fletcher sits up at 4 of 10, Omega goes to a corner, and both men stand at 6. Omega POLISH HAMMERS! And POLISH HAMMERS again! Fans fire up and Omega DISCUS- NO, Fletcher dodges to kick low! Fletcher whips, Omega reverses, Dynamite returns to single picture as Omega fireman’s carries! “YOU! CAN’T! ESCAPE!” ROLLING SENTON, and then Omega goes up to MOON- NO, Fletcher bailed out first! So Omega just goes up and out to MOONSAULT to the floor!!
Fans are thunderous and Omega rises again. Omega puts Fletcher in, climbs again, and BLINDSIDE DROPKICKS! Cover, TWO! Fletcher hangs tough but Omega scowls. Omega drags Fletcher up, hooks a leg, AOI SHODO!! Fans fire up and Omega nods. Fletcher flounders to ropes, fans rally up and Omega aims, BANG! Omega runs, but Fletcher dodges and HALF ‘N’ HALF! Omega flounders to a corner, Fletcher runs in, GAMANGIRI! Fletcher then suplexes, BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Omega survives and Fletcher grows frustrated but the fans rally up. Callis says that was very close, but the fans rally for Omega.

Winner: Kenny Omega, by pinfall
Callis is furious that Fletcher failed again, but he only cares about results! Fletcher pushed Omega here, did Fletcher still add himself to the discussion of all time greats? As for Omega, is he going to take down the Don Callis Family once and for all? Or will Callis’ Powerhouse and Alpha be too much even for the Best Bout Machine?
Danhausen’s jingle is back.

AEW Media catches up with The Mogul Embassy.
Prince Nana is very excited for this Friday and the YouTube debut of the remixed take on Swerve’s theme song, Big Pressure by Fancy Garments. Everything Swerve has been saying the last couple of months has led to right here, Graffiti Park in Houston. The top rappers have been here, and now Swerve debuts Big Pressure! What an exciting time! Swerve nods and says it is exciting, right? He should be excited. So why is he not? Because right now, he should be celebrating being TNT Champion. And there’s a reason why he is not. Hangman Adam Page. Like Swerve said, none of this was personal! It wasn’t about Hangman specifically, it was Swerve VS the spot! FACTS.
But now Swerve VS Hangman is personal, and Hangman couldn’t leave well enough alone after losing at WrestleDream. Now Hangman is facing a man who cares less about things than Hangman does, and NO ONE cares less about human life than Swerve. “Just remember this: It’s not always you that pays for your actions.” The Mogul has put Hangman and everyone connected to him on notice, what will Swerve do to get his revenge?
Tony Schiavone is back in the ring.
Back in 1987, Schiavone first introduced this man right here on this very same television station, TBS. And it thrills him every time to say his name. Stand up, ladies and gentlemen, for it is… STIIIIING~! The Icon makes his way out and Houston fires up! Sting hugs Schiavone before taking the mic. Sting howls and the fans howl back. Sting remembers 30 something years ago, the first time he did that, the crowd booed back and he couldn’t believe it. All these years later, here we are. Sting wonders if he should say the word. Well, before that, let’s reflect a little. That word makes him want to reflect on all the years, traveling up and down the road.
He’s travelled with Lex Luger, Rick & Scott Steiner, Buff Bagwell. There are some names from the past, right? But as he’d travel with they, they’d look to guys that helped shape their careers. Dusty Rhodes, the most charismatic human Sting ever met in his life. Hulk Hogan, which yeah he gets the boos. But Hogan transcended wrestling and we all learned something from the guy, so you gotta give something to him for that. But one guy Sting wants to give a lot to is the Nature Boy, Ric Flair. Thank you, Ric, for all the moments. Clash of Champions 1988, Sting’s first world title match and Ric put him on the map.
Then in 1990, Great American Bash, another world title, and Sting came out the winner. Thank you once again, Nature Boy. Fans chant “Thank You, Sting!” as they sense where this is going. He thanks them, and says they used to wonder. What made those guys come back decade after decade? What more did they have to prove? But here Sting is all these years later. And he understands why they hung on! It’s the smell of the arenas, the comradery on the road as you travel around the world. It is the roar of the fans! That’s what makes wrestlers come back for more.
Does Sting’s body do what it did 20+ years ago? No. Should Sting still be doing what he was doing, jumping off balconies and stuff? Well… Okay, we’ll talk about that. But getting back to that word… Fans tell Sting, “You Still Got It!” Sting thanks them for that, and he knows what they’re all thinking. He retired once before, didn’t he? Yes, there’s the word. But that retirement in 2015 didn’t sit right with Sting. And besides, there was one very key moment in this speech back then, that the only thing for sure is that nothing’s for sure. So now, that brings Sting to the word, “retirement,” once again.
The fans boo but Sting says he wants to address that word live in the great state of Texas! Rosenberg, Texas, even! What a mixed crowd tonight. But hey, this is Sting’s moment, this is their moment, we’re sharing the moment. Sting’s very first match in AEW was Revolution 2021. His very match in AEW will be Revolution 2024! Fans chant for Sting, and he wants us to notice one more thing. The only thing for sure about Sting is that his retirement, Revolution 2024, IS for sure. Fans are bummed, but the Icon has put a deadline on himself. What will Sting do for Revolution 2024 in March?
RJ City is backstage.
RJ City says Toni Storm has been taking the world by… storm. And tonight, she releases her second “blockbuster” film, Gone with The Storm. Based on- Storm stops him there and tells us, BEHOLD! Her life’s work! Sit back, relax, chin up and chest out. Play the picture. Play the picture! PLAY THE PICTURE! And so Dynamite goes picture in picture while the “film” plays.
In this film, we get B Roll of a parking lot and Storm is meeting with “Mr. Studio Executive Man,” played by RJ. He and Storm shake hands and he says it is wonderful to have her on set. Yes, it is even more wonderful to be alive! Mr. Studio Exec says that as the studio’s biggest star, Ms. Storm will be pampered with the finest things. Storm says of course she is and of course she is. And so that starts with a banana. She bites even the peel… Delightful! Well, there’s more where that came from! Bath balms, perfumes and a pearl necklace! HOW DAAARE YOU~! What? She SLAPS him! Like, for real. Sorry, he should’ve said “jewelry.”
Storm apologizes for that, then. Well, it’s alright, next week she will have her own butler service. Oh thank you, Mr. Studio Executive Man! RJ then says for a huge star like her, they’re gonna roll out the red carpet! Storm says yes, now please, she has a close up to do. She goes right up to the camera and strikes her rather odd pose. The end. It feels like this is a franchise in the making, but what will Storm’s next blockbuster entail?
Jim Ross sits down with Nick Wayne and his mother.
JR says if Buddy was here, he could really help this situation. JR can’t get over what Nick did to Darby Allin, a man who was like a brother to him. And Nick will find out very soon that real friends in wrestling are very rare. JR says Mama was ringside, she helped raise Darby, too, so how did she feel when it all went down? It was truly shocking. She still can’t make sense of it, either. She doesn’t understand. Darby was like a brother to Nick! He was there from the beginning! This is just so out of character for Nick. And Christian Cage of all people? The things he’s said about Buddy, about Nick’s mom! She doesn’t recognize who her son is right now!
Nick explodes and tells his mom to shut up! JR tells him to respect his mother. Nick says JR doesn’t understand. Darby always made things about him. Nick was always in Darby’s shadow, no one congratulated Nick on what he did to get to AEW, it was always Darby! Darby got congratulated for Nick getting here. But Nick wants to prove himself and prove why he’s here. Mama says this isn’t how to do that, but Nick says yes it is, and he has a new father figure now, and it’s Christian Cage. A better one than Buddy ever was. And in steps Christian Cage. You ready to come home, son? Mama Wayne is in despair but Nick tells her to stay back. She was a terrible mother!
Mama SLAPS Nick! She apologizes, but Nick says she’s dead to him. Nick leaves with Captain Charisma, and he says she should’ve picked up the phone. Nick & Christian step into the hallway, but then there’s some kind of fight going on? Who is attacking who? Mama Wayne isn’t sure what to make of it, then we see it’s DARBY! Darby knocked Christian down, and he TOSSES Nick into railing! Wait, this spills out on stage!! But Luchasaurus storms up and CLUBS Darby down! Darby tumbles, Luchasaurus TOSSES him further down the ramp! But STING DECKS Christian! And he ROCKS Luchasaurus! Sting RAMS Luchasaurus into railing!
Nick has a bloody lip while Sting puts Christian in the ring. Sting stomps Christian, then gets the legs! SCORPION DEATHLOCK!! But Luchasaurus drags Christian out of the ring! Sting and Darby stand tall as Christian and his cronies regroup. Christian shouts, “What’d you do to his tooth!?” Nick got off easy if all he lost was a tooth! The Relentless One wants his revenge, will Nick have to pay for the sins of his “new father?”

Backstage interview with Best Friends & Hook.
Renee is now with Trent Beretta, Chuck Taylor, and the three champions, Kris Statlander, Orange Cassidy & the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil. WE have three different titles right here, so BOTB, the TBS title will be on the line. Kris says that is right, and that she has proven time and again that the TBS Championship is about great professional wrestling. That is why she is giving a shot to someone who not only deserves it, but someone she cares about and respects in Willow Nightingale. And then Cassidy, congrats on regaining the International Championship, which he will also defend at BOTB against the winner of the Rampage Triple Threat.
Cassidy says there’s this thing people say. Um, he can’t think of it. Chuck knows! “You don’t know what you got ’til it’s gone.” Yeah, that. Cassidy didn’t understand that until he lost the belt. He knew he cared about it, but he didn’t know how much. And uh, now that he has it back, he will do what he’s always done for this and that is defend it. Because when he looks at this belt, he knows there is unfinished business. This Saturday, Cassidy has something to prove. Then will it be The Meat Man, Mr. Superbad or Brother Zay that comes after the Freshly Squeezed throne?

Dynamite returns and we see that Matt Sydal, Trent Beretta, both Hardy Boyz, Komander, Daniel Garcia, Matthew Menard, Jake Hager and Johnny Nitro Mundo TV have made their entrances. Juice makes his way out, the Gunns by his side. But wait, that’s still just eleven as Austin & Colten are staying out of this. WAIT! Caster IS in the match!

“I throw you out, back to back! I put you to bed like I’m Mattress King but I’m Platinum Max!” Bowens takes the mic to say, “HOUSTON, TEXAAAAS~! The Acclaimed have arrived! SCISSOR ME, DADDY ASS~!” And he does! But will Caster and his scissors cut down the field? But wait! Here comes MJF to be on commentary, just like he promised! Caster says he’s so ready, but will Juice be the one coming through on his promises?
The bell rings, everyone slides in, but Juice looks to slide out and cling to ropes. Caster fires off on Hager, Matt Sydal and Matt Hardy brawl, and MJF notes just how many people are coming after him, from Juice to White to Wardlow to Samoa Joe. Garcia & Menard mug Komander but Trent goes after him. Johnny TV has Sydal now and ROCKS him! Sydal dodges, Johnny scoops but Sydal slips free! Sydal ROUNDHOUSES Johnny and Johnny tumbles over the top! Johnny holds on, Sydal rushes in but Johnny ducks! Garcia BOOTS Sydal, Johnny uses body scissors to ELIMINATE Sydal! Fans boo but then Johnny slides under Garcia!
Johnny says hold on, dance contest! Johnny break dances, poses, and so Garcia says fine! But Menard says NO? Fans boo, Dustin CLOBBERS Johnny, Jeff Hardy CLOBBERS Garcia & Menard! Then Jeff does HIS dance! The fans love it, and Jeff even gets some of that Garcia style. Matt Hardy says DELETE Johnny TV, he and Dustin work together to TOSS and ELIMINATE Johnny! Hager bumps Trent off buckles, Matt Hardy stomps Juice, then he CLUBS away on Menard. Dustin keeps after Juice, the Hardy Boyz double whip Garcia to DOUBLE ELBOW! Then they set up, POETRY IN MOTION for Daddy Magic!
Fans fire up as Hager runs in but Matt ROCKS him! Jeff JAWBREAKERS! Matt TWIST OF- NO, Hager shoves Matt away! But Matt BOOTS him! And goes up, to AX- NO, Hager blocks, then TOSSES Matt Hardy to ELIMINATE him! Fans boo as the X-JAS celebrate. MJF gets an idea, and he takes the headset off to go closer to ringside! Fans fire up as MJF tells Dustin to hold on. He has money for Dustin? Dustin takes the money, puts that away, and he goes after Juice with more fervor! Dustin puts the legs in the ropes, and fans fire up! Juice begs for mercy but nope, he gets SHATTERED DREAMS!! Juice’s bullets might be gold dust as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Menard attacks Dustin and soaks up the heat, then he throws hands. Menard climbs up to rain down fists, goes all the way to TEN, then soaks up more heat. But Dustin PURPLE NURPLES him! Dustin then climbs up to rain down fists! Dustin goes all the way to nine, takes a deep breath, and he ROCKS Menard with the tenth! Caster is holding on on the other side, as is Komander. Garcia kicks Jeff but Jeff kicks back. Komander and Caster go after each other and Komander RAMS Caster into a corner! Komander stomps away on Caster while Trent kicks and ROCKS Garcia! Garcia hits back, they brawl with forearms!
Hager fights off Dustin, Garcia and Trent ROCK each other! They keep going, Caster gets away from Komander, and then Hager ROCKS Komander! Garcia and Trent just keep firing off shots, then they DOUBLE LARIAT! Hager stands Komander up but Komander CHOPS! But Hager KNEES low! Jeff throws hands on Menard, Caster throws Trent! Juice goes after Caster! Hager tries to dump Komander out but Komander clings to ropes. Dustin dumps Garcia over but Garcia holds onto ropes! Dustin clubs at the hands, Hager RAMS Komander into buckles, and Menard RAMS Dustin to save Garcia.
The X-JAS work together on Dustin, Trent stomps Juice, and Caster CLUBS Hager! Hager stays up so Caster apologizes, but Hager BOOTS Caster down! Dynamite returns to single picture as Hager fires off hands. Hager runs in but Komander BOOTS him! Caster tries to scrape Juice out, but Hager puts Komander up top. Fans chant “DO THE DANCE! DO THE DANCE!” and Garcia puts his hands up. But Menard brings them back down! Daddy Magic is stubbornly insistent Garcia not have fun here! But Komander springboards to MISSILE DROPKICK Hager! X-JAS run in but Komander BOOTS Garcia, BOOTS Menard, then goes up!
Komander leaps, but is caught! X-JAS TOSS Komander up and out to ELIMINATE him together! Then Menard says no dancing. Fans still want the dance but Trent CLUBS Garcia and Dustin UPPERCUTS Menard! Trent BUSAIKU KNEES Menard, then Trent HALF ‘N’ HALF SUPLEXES Garcia! Dustin runs in to hit a DESTROYER on Garcia! Fans fire up and Dustin stares Trent down. Fans fire up as these two HUG! You GOT to give the people what they want, but Hager CLOBBERS them both! Hager TOSSES Trent, whips Dustin, and Hager runs in. Dustin puts Hager up and out, Trent POSTS and ELIMINATE Hager!

Garcia saves Menard! Trent ROCKS Garcia but Menard BLASTS Trent to ELIMINATE him! Fans boo but the X-JAS stand tall. But then Jeff ROCKS Menard and he ROCKS Garcia! Jeff fires off, TWIST OF- NO, Garcia slips out to TOSS Jeff and ELIMINATE him!!
Fans boo as Garcia snarls, and Garcia… DOES HIS- NO!! Menard stops him again! They argue, shove each other, but they cool off and go after Dustin!

Dustin shoves Garcia, DUMPS Menard to ELIMINATE him, but then Garcia DUMPS and ELIMINATES Dustin! Fans say do the dance, and Garcia can’t resist temptation. Garcia DOES THE DANCE!!! But then Juice whips! Garcia reverses to toss Juice out! Caster DUMPS Garcia out to ELIMINATE him!
Fans fire up as Caster and Juice are now in this alone! Menard says he told Garcia so, but MJF is disappointed that this came down to “the stalker and the sleazebag.” Caster ROCKS Juice, ROCKS him again, but Juice wobbles on the apron! Juice holds ropes to stay up, Caster throws hands! MJF has never wanted a match to not end more than this. It is either Caster’s tomfoolery, or just the most violent match of MJF’s career because he swears on his mother that he will murder Juice. Caster SUPERKICKS! Juice sputters but he holds on all the same! Fans fire up as Caster runs, but Juice RAMS into Caster!
Juice smiles as he drags Caster back up, and goes to suplex! Caster holds onto ropes and lets his body deadweight, but Juice still hauls him up! They’re both on the apron! Caster ROCKS Juice, ROCKS him again, then again, and again! Fans fire up as Caster backs Juice up but Juice CLAWS the eyes! Caster staggers back, Juice goes around the corner and he goes up. Juice drags Caster up, has a facelock, and he goes to the very top! Caster and Juice fight for control, and Juice falls into the ring! But Caster hits the MIC DROP!! But then White attacks MJF on commentary!? MJF fights White off with haymakers and fans are loving it!
MJF BITES White’s face! MJF storms up on White to throw down fists! He takes back Triple B!! Fans fire up and MJF takes aim! White staggers up, but he LOW BLOWS MJF!! Caster is distracted and Juice brings out TJ Maxx!! Caster storms up, into the LEFT HAND O’ GOD!!! Juice DUMPS Caster out to ELIMINATE him! Juice wins!!
Winner: Juice Robinson (challenges MJF for the Dynamite Diamond Ring)
The Switchblade helped his Collision Cowboy steal this one, but MJF shows them the Dynamite Diamond Ring. Will MJF make sure blood is shed before it’s all over?
My Thoughts:
A great episode here, with plenty set up for everything coming this next week. Great group promo from Best Friends to set up their parts in Battle of the Belts 8, and Kris VS Willow is definitely going to be the moment Willow and Skye Blue reveal their dark sides and join the House of Black. Now, that would be greatly emphasized if Willow took the title, but I don’t know, it doesn’t feel like Saturday is going to be the moment with Full Gear a month away. As for who faces Cassidy for his belt, I’d love it to be Brother Zay so that it’d be Cassidy VS Kassidy, but Cassidy mentioned unfinished business and that makes me think Kip Sabian.
Edge has a good promo to help explain partly for himself why Christian rejected him. And while Edge said he doesn’t want the TNT Championship, I still feel he’ll be compelled into taking it from him because otherwise, Edge is mostly just going for the world title. Great sit-down interview moment that turned into a great brawl, and I feel like Nick losing a tooth was legit, that’s not easy to fake. But with Sting giving us a great promo that gives us a deadline on when he is retiring, clearly he and Darby are gonna have one last tag match together, probably against Nick & Luchasaurus.
Great match from Shida VS Sakura with Shida getting just her third win ever over Emi. Shida’s card for Full Gear could really go to any number of choices, but I would think Saraya and Toni Storm are at the top of that. Storm had another hilarious “movie” promo, she is doing great work, she at least deserves to be in the conversation. At the same time, feels like they need to build up other women to be top title ready. And also, what about Thunder Rosa? Word is she’s still recovering from an injury, so why isn’t AEW doing a better job keeping us aware of that? I understand them wanting to keep her return a surprise, but it’d be nice to know her absence isn’t just because of the usual AEW ineptitude in booking their women’s division.
Awesome stuff in the Don Callis Family story. The promo from Callis and Hobbs was good, and a good promo from Omega with MJF, but Omega VS Fletcher was incredible! Fletcher really is proving himself to be one of the best in this new generation, and I kinda hope Callis being so upset with Fletcher actually makes Will Ospreay say no to Callis at some point. Ospreay is the leader of the United Empire, he doesn’t have to do anything Callis wants if Callis isn’t gonna treat his guys fairly. Plus, it’d make for an awesome moment if Callis gets a taste of his own medicine as Ospreay walked out on him right as the Family is about to lose to Omega, Ibushi, Jericho, etc.
Great squash win for Archer’s return to AEW, and can’t be sure what he goes for title wise, but maybe it’ll be the world title this time after MJF gets through his story with Bullet Club Gold. Wardlow also gets a great squash win, and I appreciate Tony Khan going back to Wardlow’s grudge with MJF, but uh, it’s a little too late as I’m concerned. Fans don’t want to see Wardlow crush MJF now that MJF is our scumbag anti-hero. This should’ve been how Wardlow was right after losing to Hobbs and QT Marshall. But hey, maybe MJF can further his redemption tour by reconciling with Wardlow over their past.
Another hilarious bit from Cole, Roddy & The Kingdom, and I like that this was the last straw for Cole. Not sure how Roddy’s gonna fake being nice to MJF but it’ll surely blow up in his face and Roddy gets over his neck injury so he can settle things with MJF. And good stuff from MJF and this story with Bullet Club Gold and Acclaimed. White of course cheats to beat Penta so that he can then talk trash on MJF, and of course Caster offers to help MJF one more time. And as such, of course MJF rejects him.
Great Dynamite Dozen Battle Royal, which is an area where AEW still shines. Great stuff with it coming down to Caster and Juice, and again, of course Bullet Club Gold cheats to make sure Juice wins. I feel like the best move to do here is MJF actually losing the diamond ring because he just couldn’t fight off the numbers game, and then he goes to Caster and asks The Acclaimed to help him get Triple B back. If Acclaimed go out there first to help MJF win and retain the diamond ring, it’ll only make MJF pull away from them more.
MJF even said on commentary that he did used to think of Caster as a friend when they were both getting started, and he’s been learning from Cole that people can have more than one friend. So if MJF, humbled by his loss, goes to Caster and asks him genuinely, that is better for the story and MJF’s character development.

BREAKING NEWS for April!
Dynamite returns to Boston, but it won’t be Big Business. It’ll be a Spring Breakthru! Get your tickets now so you don’t miss out!
Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Lexy Nair brings up the intense match Adam Cole and Daniel Garcia had, going to Hell and back, all for the TNT Championship. It unfortunately ended in a time limit draw, and some would say a tie is worse than a loss. Cole says he certainly feels that way. He feels sick to his stomach, physically beat up, and the worst part is, he had Garcia beat. “Daniel Garcia, I had you beat for that TNT Championship. The time limit is what saved you. And lemme tell you, the next time we do face each other, there will be no outside interference, there will be no time limit. It will be Adam Cole VS Daniel Garcia, for the TNT Championship, and trust me when I tell you, you’re looking at the next champ!”
Kyle O’Reilly says wow. And speaking of rematches, it has been about a week since their match with FTR. And what’s really bugging him isn’t the loss, it’s the lack of respect. Kyle & Roddy showed a lot of respect. They held out their hands, and what’d FTR do? FTR left Kyle wondering if they really are everything they say they are: The best tag team on Earth that’s ever existed in the time-space continuum! Kyle thinks they’re just insecure. Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! No. No, we are not gonna do that. That loss matters. We didn’t go through what we went through to get back together, to lose to the supposed best tag team on the planet.”
Roddy wants FTR to hear this. “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. The third time’s not gonna happen, fellas.” Cole says, “And that is Undisputed.” When and where will we see these epic trilogies happen?
Backstage interview with Kazuchika Okada.
Slam Dunk Sunday returns as Lexy is now with The Rainmaker. We’re not even a quarter into 2025 and Okada has gotten some very significant wins defending the AEW Continental Championship. Okada says yes, at Grand Slam: Australia, he beat Buddy Matthews. At Revolution, he beat Brody King. He put those dogs down. What does that mean? Okada says he means, he put those b*tches to sleep! Is The Rainmaker saying the Hounds of Hell are no more? Or will they come barking back and take a bite out of his belt?
Bandido VS Johnny TV!
The Most Wanted wants his revenge on Chris Jericho, but he was first challenged by the Guru of Greatness for this “big ratings” showdown. Will Bandido mute Johnny and head for The Nueve? Or will he find he’s not #TVReady?
Johnny disrespects Bandido during his entrance by throwing his big studded jacket at him! The fans boo, Johnny grins, but Bandido fires off forearms! The bell rings, Johnny pushes Bandido back, then wrangles him. Johnny rolls Bandido, ONE, but Johnny floats to rain down fists and stomps! Johnny gets his sunglasses off, the fans boo, but Johnny says he is TV Ready. Johnny taunts “cabron” Bandido, then KICKS him in the back. Johnny eggs Bandido on, “How’s my foot taste?” Johnny drags Bandido up for a NECKBREAKER! The fans boo as Johnny shows off the abs. Johnny KICKS Bandido, drags him back up, then fires body shots.
Johnny whips, Bandido ducks ‘n’ dodges, then he CLOBBERS Johnny! The fans fire up as Bandido keeps moving, another big forearm! And another big forearm! Bandido fires up, the fans are with him, and he runs in at the corner. Bandido jumps up to MONKEY FLIP! Johnny flops hard on his face! Johnny gets up in a huff, but runs into a military press! With ONE HAND! Bandido then THROWS Johnny down! Omaha rallies more while Johnny bails out, and Collision goes to single picture.
Bandido build speed, but Johnny slides in and LARIATS! Johnny mocks the clapping, then covers, TWO! Bandido is tougher than that, but Johnny drags him right up. Johnny reels Bandido in, MOONLIGHT DRIVE! Cover, TWO! Bandido is still tougher than that, but Johnny clamps on a dragon sleeper. Bandido endures, even as Johnny hooks a leg and twists him. Bandido fights around, reaches out, but Johnny drags him back! Johnny keeps on the stretch plum style hold, but Bandido still endures. Bandido fights up, fires knees, but Johnny CLUBS Bandido! Johnny INVERTED SUPLEXES, but Bandido lands on the apron!
Bandido blocks a shot, slingshots, but Johnny SHOVES him down! Bandido hits the floor and Johnny goes out after him. Johnny storms up on Bandido, stands him up, and whips him into steel steps! Bandido falls in a heap, Johnny stalks him and taunts him, but Collision goes to break.
Slam Dunk Sunday returns, Johnny runs in at the corner but Bandido BOOTS him away! Bandido then UPPERCUTS, goes up, but Johnny throws him down! Bandido rolls to his feet, runs back in, but Johnny dodges. Johnny runs back in, but Bandido SHOTGUNS him down! The fans fire up, Bandido covers, TWO! Johnny survives that shot but Bandido stays focused. The fans rally, Bandido paces, and Bandido drags Johnny up. Bandido gut wrenches to a Canadian Rack, that then becomes a torture rack! X KNEE! Johnny staggers to the ropes, Bandido says BANG! Bandido runs in, BLACKJACK 21 PLEX!! Bridging cover, Bandido wins!
Winner: Bandido, by pinfall
The Most Wanted was most certainly #TVReady! But he’s not done, as he grabs a mic to call out Jericho! “Come here, and bring my little brother, Gravity’s mask, RIGHT NOOOW!” Bandido waits, and here comes The Learning Tree! The ROH World Champion has “Big Bill” & Bryan Keith behind him, and he is holding onto Gravity’s mask. The fans boo, but Jericho smiles as he holds the mask up. The Learning Tree goes to the ring, and Jericho also has a mic. Jericho steps and says, “You know, Bandido. I wish I could tell you it doesn’t have to be this way, but I think we both know that it does.
“Because even after a generational career, one of the greatest in pro-wrestling history, I still have to remind you, everybody here watching tonight, everybody at home, who’s been fortunate enough to witness the brilliance of the Jericho Era… That you can only take me for granted for so long! That you can only take from me so much until I start taking back.” Jericho can be quite generous, and he can also be very dangerous. Bandido can just ask his family. The fans boo, but Jericho says Bandido’s terrified sister, his disgraced brother, and his weeping mother…! And Jericho is sorry he made Bandido’s mother cry, he really is.
But he had to teach Bandido a lesson! That’s what happens when you try and take the ROH World Championship from Chris Jericho! You understand him? Do you?! The fans boo, but Jericho says if Bandido wants the mask back, he can’t have it. Because Jericho wants Bandido to remember the humiliation that he felt when Jericho took this mask right off his brother. And the only thing worse than taking a luchador’s mask… is putting that mask on! Jericho goes to put Gravity’s mask on! The fans boo as Jericho wears it as his own! His big head doesn’t even fit in it! The fans chant “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” but Jericho tells them to shut up!
Jericho, muffled as his voice is now, tells Bandido that Bandido should just stand there and cry like his mother! Bandido DECKS Jericho instead! But now Bill runs up! Bandido dodges, BOOTS Keith, then dodges again! Bandido goes up, up, but into Bill’s big hand! SKYSCRAPER- NO, Bandido slips free, then dodges Keith! Bandido SNATCHES the mask off Jericho, and gets away clean! The fans fire up as Bandido gets his moral victory! But will he and Jericho go one more round for THE victory?
Megan Bayne speaks.
“I’ve watched others fight for what they believe is theirs: Titles, fame, glory. But none of them possess true power. They worship at the feet of champions, but even those champions don’t understand what it is to be chosen by the heavens. I have arrived here as the embodiment of fate. And when they bow before me, when they worship at my feet, they’ll finally know that the All Elite Goddess has arrived. I am The Megasus, and this is my kingdom now.”
Toni Storm speaks.
“Who died and made you God? Who came down from the mountains and bestowed your power upon my people? Megan Bayne, have you heard the mythology of the one they call Timeless? Hercules doesn’t have my thighs, I have an Oedipal Complex with myself, I can summon the Kraken from my ass, and Pegasus ain’t got s*it on me! I saw my reflection, and my reflection saw me, and we made love until the sun came up. And at Dynasty, I will cut off the head of the mighty Megasus, and I will hold it aloft for the whole world to see, and I will say… ‘By GAWD I’m good.'” Luther applauds in the background, will Toni Storm slay this female titan?
Harley Cameron VS Aminah Belmont!
Though she was rather coy about her- er, Harley-gram’s budding romance with The Beast Mortos, the wild Aussie is getting back in action. Will the Phoenix Princess #FEELTHEWRATH on Slam Dunk Sunday?
The bell rings and the fans rally for Harley. Harley and Aminah tie up, Harley headlocks, but Aminah powers up and out. Aminah drops down, Harley rolls over then bypasses Aminah to LARIAT! The fans cheer, Harley runs and KNEES Aminah low. Then a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! The fans fire up again and Harley stands Aminah up. Aminah throat chops, then straitjackets for the NECKBREAKER! Harley flounders to a corner, Aminah mocks the fans, then she runs in, but into an ELBOW! Harley runs up, ducks the lariat and ENZIGIRIS! The fans fire up for Harley, she ducks Aminah’s roundhouse to pump handle!
Harley lifts for the PUMP HANDLE SAIDO! The fans fire up with Harley, “FEEL THE WRATH!” And then she dragon sleepers, for HER FINISHING MOVE! Cover, Harley wins!
Winner: Harley Cameron, by pinfall
Aminah certainly did #FEELTHEWRATH, and Harley goes right to commentary for our main event! Will Harley have a good time watching Komander & Hologram officially debut as a team? Or will Dralistico y Mortos make everything tranquilo?
Backstage interview with Don Callis.
Lexy is with cruddy Callis and brings up all that is going on within the Family. We have not seen Kyle Fletcher since the brutal cage match at Revolution, and- Callis stops Lexy there. He says we all know what she’s up to here. She is passive aggressively getting Callis all worked up about the cage match, but here’s the thing. When you have Kyle Fletcher, just 26 years old, and already the future of pro-wrestling, “you have the luxury of putting nights like Revolution in the rearview mirror. What I’ve got planned for Kyle Fletcher, what we’ve got planned, is gonna dwarf anything that your little brain could possibly fathom!”
But one thing she said is right: Everyone wants to see Kyle! So tonight is a little treat. Ladies and gentlemen… The Protostar, the future of wrestling, and the New God of Pro-Wrestling, Kyle BAH GAWD Fletcher! Yes, Kyle indeed steps into frame, and he says there has been a lot of talk and rumors that he was in some hospital bed, licking his wounds, but he is here to set the story straight. Yes, the cage match, the entire rivalry with Ospreay, has changed Kyle. But one thing that has not changed is the fact that he is destined to be the greatest of all time!
So he will be at Dynamite this Wednesday, and he’ll make it very apparent what is next for The Family, and for The Protostar, Kyle Fletcher. Say his full name, baby! Callis and Kyle hug it out, are maybe feeling a little too good, but just what is next for the DCF in AEW?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
Tony Khan has decided what’s next for Kyle: Brody King! Will the King of Death prove the Hounds of Hell are not done yet? Or will The Protostar use him as a stepping stone to the top? Then, it is some big meaty men slapping meat as “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs takes on Mark Davis. Will Hobbs finally get past the Don Callis Family with this? Plus, after Megan Bayne and Toni Storm each said their piece tonight, we’re getting a tag team match! Megan again teams with Penelope Ford against the reunited #ThunderStorm! Can La Mera Mera get her own revenge while helping Timeless Toni tune up for Dynasty?
And Kenny Omega not only returns, he is back in action against Blake Christian! Will the Best Bout Machine use the Vanilla Babyface as an appetizer for that big International Championship Triple Threat at Dynasty? And last but not least, after Dax Harwood left Cope hanging last week, Tony Schiavone will interview #RatedFTR to get to the bottom of this divide. All this when AEW arrives in St. Paul, Minnesota!
Los Titanes del Aire VS La Faccion Ingobernable!
This one has been a long time coming. Hologram was put on the shelf because of Dralistico, Mortos y Rush, but he was able to reboot, rebuild and refresh in time to help Komander fight back. Can the Titans of the Air fly high over LFI? Or will Dralistico y Mortos stampede over them like rampaging bulls?
The teams sort out, the ref has to keep them back, and then Dralistico starts against Hologram. Harley claims to have no idea who “Harley-gram” really is, but whoever she is, she has a fantastic chest. Wait, Mortos CLOBBERS Komander! The fans boo, but Hologram dodges, and Mortos CLOBBERS Darlistico! Hologram fires hands, Mortos headlocks, but Hologram goes up the ropes! Hologram then flips free, SOBATS, and whips. Hologram ducks under then hurdles over Mortos. Mortos leaps over, runs back up, ARABIAN PRESS and a roll! The fans fire up, Hologram dodges Mortos to then tilt-o-whirl and DEJA VU-
NO, Mortos stops the ride to chicken wing Hologram! But Hologram victory rolls through, TWO! Mortos has it, TWO! Both men stand, Hologram rolls Mortos but Mortos powers through to a cover, ONE!

Komander bounces off the cover, comes back and tilt-o-whirl RANAAS! Mortos flounders away, Dralistico tags in. Mortos BOOTS Komander, Dralistico springboards but Komander dodges. Komander shoves, then he pops Dralistico up, but Dralistico DROPKICKS!
Dralistico runs back in, ducks ‘n ‘dodges to SHOULDER TACKLE! The fans fire up and Harley says this is “Luchamazing!” Dralistico fires up, runs up, but Komander blocks! Komander kicks Dralistico again and again, then goes up the corner! DOUBLE BOUNCE ARABIAN PRESS ARM-DRAG! The fans fire up as Komander then KICKS, SOBATS, and winds up. Komander runs to jump, spin, and wheelbarrow for the arm-drag! Komander fires up, the fans fire up, but Harley says she has to go now? Harley needs to call her friend. Harley says she forgot, but she’s gotta go, she’ll be back. Harley hops off commentary, who is she going to call?
Komander puts Dralistico on the apron but Dralistico mule kicks Hologram! Dralistico dodges Komander’s tiger feint kick, and Komander ends up on the apron. Mortos runs up, but Komander GAMANGIRIS! Dralistico is there to FLYING RANA Komander to the floor! Mortos TOPE TORNILLOS! Down goes Hologram and the fans fire up!

Mortos drags Hologram up, SMACKS him back down, and Dralistico sends Komander into railing! Then Dralistico drags Komander up, RAILING BACKBREAKER! Dralistico shoves Komander back into the ring, then sits him up to go after the mask! The ref reprimands, Dralistico stops, and Dralistico argues with the ref.

Komander stays in this, but Mortos clamps onto him again. Mortos YANKS Komander up with his mask to then SLAM him down!
Mortos stands Komander back up to SMACK him down! Komander goes to ropes, Mortos storms up, and Mortos wrenches Komander to tag in Dralistico. Komander tires to fight back but LFI still mugs him. Dralistico CHOPS Komander, then says uno mas! But then Dralistico DECKS Komander! Komander rises up, and Darlistico KICKS the leg out! Dralistico dusts himself off, puts up the ingobernable fist, then looms over Komander. Abrahantes coaches Komander, but Dralistico has him in a modified Half Crab! Komander endures, Dralistico lets go, and the fans rally up. Dralistico stands Komander up, whips him to the corner, then runs up to SPLASH!
Dralistico sits Komander down, goes side to side, and SUPERKICKS! Dralistico taunts Hologram, then soaks up the heat. But wait! “Harley-gram” is here! And suspiciously wearing gear just like Harley’s. Dralistico TOSSES Hologram in just for fun, then stands him up to CHOP! Dralistico runs at Komander in the other corner, but Komander breaks free! Slam Dunk Sunday returns to single picture as Dralistico hits buckles! Hologram runs in and LARIATS! Komander SUPERKICKS! Komander feeds Dralistico to Hologram’s SPANISH FLY!

Winners: Los Titanes del Aire, by pinfall
A powerful first match as a true duo, and LFI is in retreat! Will Komander & Hologram start to take over AEW? Will “Harley-gram” be along for the ride?
My Thoughts:
A great second part to Slam Dunk Weekend, and again I like just one hour Collision. As they did last night, the title match opened, and it was great stuff. But of course Death Riders retained, a random special episode was not where they’d lose the titles. Plus, The Cru went after Top Flight to restart their rivalry. Very good promo from Okada to talk down to the Hounds, and very good promo from Kyle & Callis to talk themselves up. Kyle VS Brody will be great stuff, but I feel like Okada and Brody can circle back around to a rematch for Dynasty. It’s mostly that Brody won’t take kindly to Okada calling him and Buddy “b*tches” again.
Great match from Bandido VS Johnny, and a very good promo segment with The Learning Tree. Bandido getting the mask back was good stuff, and I bet we’ll get one more ROH World Championship match between Bandido and Jericho. I would hope this time Bandido wins and we can start moving towards a Learning Tree fallout with Bill turning on Jericho. Supercard of Honor isn’t until May, maybe we can build up other names from within the ROH roster to start challenging for the top title. And very good promo from The Undisputed Kingdom to hype up both the eventual Garcia VS Cole 3 and FTR VS Kyle & Roddy 3 matches. Those might even be at Dynasty.
And of course we got story tie-ins of Harley with LFI. Harley got a good win over Aminah, and she of course played a part in Los Titanes winning over LFI. Rush needs to return to have a talk with Mortos, and of course this “Beauty & The Beast Mortos” story is going to keep on going until Harley-gram is exposed as Harley.
My Score: 8.8/10

Best Wrestler Alive Open Challenge: Max Caster VS ???
Slam Dunk Saturday returns and Platinum Max is already in the ring. He has the mic to tell Omaha, “You are looking live at the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans boo that claim given Caster is 0-5 at his own challenge. But Caster still says everyone knows that Caster is a very busy man. He has a packed schedule, unlike his former tag team partner… The fans chant, “We Want Bowens!” but Caster says he has some news for us: Bowens ain’t here, and he ain’t coming back, cuz Caster ran his ass outta AEW! The fans boo more, but Caster says surely there are a lot of Maximaniacs here today, so time to give them what they want, and that is to chant his name!
Okay, here goes! “Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive! Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans boo that stupid chant, so Caster says it’s four on the floor. But anyway, let’s get to business! Who can survive the Best Wrestler Alive? The man to answer is… HOOK! Will the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil make sure Caster finally learns his lesson?
The bell rings and the fans sing, “Hook is gonna kill~ you!” Caster says before they start, he knows Hook has a lot to say, so he should get it off his chest. Then Caster throws the mic at Hook! Caster attacks in that distraction, then CLUBS away on Hook! The fans boo, Caster whips but Hook reverses! Caster goes up and over, keeps moving, then ducks ‘n’ dodges. Caster cartwheels, cheers himself on, but then Hook trips Caster up! The fans cheer, and Hook clamps on REDRUM!! Caster TAPS, Hook wins!
Winner: Hook, by submission
Well, now it’s 0-6. Will Caster ever realize he’s not the Best Wrestler Alive?
Backstage interview with Queen Aminata.
Lexy Nair is with the One True African Queen, and notes that we are moments away from the tiebreaker with Julia Hart. They are 1-1, but Aminata won the previous match, so how does that momentum have her feeling? Aminata says she is- interrupted by Serena Deeb. Deeb says that was a fantastic win against Julia. What has she been telling Aminata? Listen to Deeb and you win! And tonight, it’s the rematch, and lucky for Aminata, Deeb came prepared. She has another playbook. This is 1000 holds, something Deeb has worked on for 20 years. It is everything Aminata needs to know to beat Julia, or anyone for that matter.
Deeb says it is all in this book. She hasn’t lied to Aminata yet, has she? Aminata tells The Professor thanks, but no thanks. Aminata is confident she can win this third match on her own. Aminata heads out and Deeb says well, we’ll see about that. What is Deeb about to do to test Aminata? Or will having one more match with the Princess of the Black Throne more than enough?

Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Lexy is with the wild Aussie and brings up that tomorrow night, Slam Dunk Sunday, we see Harley get back in action! Plus, Komander & Hologram will take on Dralistico & Beast Mortos. Mortos has had some rather intriguing interactions with “Harley-gram.” Harley says, “Oh, Lexy, Lexy, Lexy. Lucha Libre is a fascinating and amazing world. And I’m sure tomorrow’s match will be fantastic. And y’know what? Tomorrow night, yes, I do have a match, but! I will also stick around and be on commentary for that match. So I don’t really see the point of us discussing the romantic capabilities of a beast, y’know?”
Lexy says yeah, but uh, isn’t “Harley-gram” just Harley? NO, FEEL THE WRATH! Harley runs off, but will Harley be able to focus on her match with Mortos around? Will Mortos be able to focus on his match with Harley around?
Six Man Tag: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, Mark Briscoe & Rocky Romero VS The Don Callis Family!
While the Book of Hobbs is stuck on a chapter involving the Don Callis Family, he has decided to conglomerate with the Sussex County Chicken & Azucar! Will Briscoe & Rocky help Hobbs get through the “writer’s block?” Or will Konosuke Takeshita, Brian Cage & Lance Archer make sure #EverybodyDies?
The trios sort out and Briscoe starts against Konosuke. Don Callis is on commentary and Schiavone is sure he is not in a good mood over his guy, Mark Davis, missing out on the International Championship. Callis focuses instead on the Six Man Tag, and his “three physical freaks” of the Callis Family. Briscoe and Konosuke tie up, Briscoe headlocks, and Omaha rallies for #DemBoys. Konosuke powers up and out, Briscoe RAMS him, but Konosuke comes back to run Briscoe over! Things keep moving, Konosuke bypasses Briscoe but Briscoe slides under.

Cover, Don Callis Family wins!
Winners: The Don Callis family, by pinfall
Omaha was served up some meat and chicken with sugar on top, but the Don Callis Family ate it all! Will this win help Konosuke head back for a title opportunity in time for Dynasty? Will Hobbs at least be allowed to move on from the Don Callis Family?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here for just the first half of the Slam Dunk Weekend, as recorded Wednesday night after Dynamite. I kinda like Collision being just one hour, but obviously they’ll go back to two hours on one night next week. Opening with the TNT Championship was quite the surprise, but that did help it go the full 20 minutes, which was a particularly clever move here. Garcia keeps the title but Cole was very close, so maybe we get a third match where they extend or completely do away with the time limit to get a definitive winner. And at that point, I would think Adam Cole wins to finally have a singles title in AEW.
Good stuff in Caster again losing his own Open Challenge. Good win for Hook as it’s been a minute since he’s had a singles match. With Caster harping on Bowens being absent, this really needs to culminate with Bowens answering the challenge, winning that first time, but then Caster wanting a rematch. Then that match will be awesome stuff, but still ultimately won by Bowens to get it in Caster’s head that he can’t just say he’s the Best Wrestler Alive and put it on a piece of paper. Then we can see Caster take his character in another direction, maybe do some soul searching. Or more likely, just double down and be even more insufferable.
Very good match for Hart VS Aminata 3, hard to say if it was that much better than the previous, but Hart winning makes sense with Aminata VS Deeb still needing to happen. A shame the Aminata-Deeb feud had to build in the background of the Aminata-Hart feud, but it’s not like they could do more on a week to week basis. Unless… Well, snark aside, Aminata will surely take Deeb up on at least that Pure Rules match for a first-time-ever in the Women’s Division, and I would love for a Women’s Pure Championship to be created in time for Supercard of Honor. It actually works out that Supercard had to be pushed back to avoid clashing with WrestleMania, because the pacing of the Women’s Division definitely can/will go all the way to May.
Very good promo from Harley to not just hype up Slam Dunk Sunday, but to also poke fun at how she is so obviously Harley-gram, and that there is some, uh, animal magnetism between her and Mortos. And Schiavone said that Komander & Hologram VS Mortos & Dralistico will be the main event, so you can bet there will be shenanigans involving Mortos and Harley/Harley-gram.
My Score: 8.8/10
