Backstage interview with MJF.
Renee Paquette is with the AEW World Champion but he excuses himself for a second to make a quick phone call. He puts it on speaker, waits as it rings, and Adam Cole picks up! MJF is so glad Cole got out of that psycho’s house and got that surgery. How’s he feeling? But as Cole tries to answer, Roderick Strong wheels in while shouting, “ADAM~! ADAAAM~!” Cole asks if that’s Roddy, and MJF says it is. Roddy says hi to Adam himself, but Adam says he’ll call MJF later. Understandable. Roddy says, “Love you, too!” as MJF hangs. MJF then asks Roddy what the hell he and The Kingdom even want.
Roddy says he’s just been thinking. It has to be MJF behind the Devil mask. But let’s just pretend that he’s not. And for the sake of their mutual friend, Adam Cole, more Roddy’s than MJF’s, Roddy will “take pity” on MJF and help him against Bullet Club Gold. Wow, really? He means that? Thanks so much! MJF then pushes Roddy and he can’t stop his wheelchair! The Kingdom hurries after Roddy and MJF shouts at the camera to call out Jay White! Tonight, MJF sends White a message in blood! White wants to take MJF’s cherished Triple B? That’s where he messed up! And Juice wanted to send a message to MJF, put his name on something that made MJF feel small. Nice.
But tonight, MJF has a bullet with Juice’s name on it! And live in Philadelphia, MJF will not miss!! Wait! The Devil of AEW takes over the screen?! Then is it really NOT MJF under there? What is going to happen on an already stacked Wednesday Night Dynamite?
Dynamite Diamond Ring: MJF VS Juice Robinson w/ The Gunns!
The introductions are made, the bell rings and MJF CLOBBERS Juice! MJF rains down fists, the ref backs him off, but then MJF stomps away in the corner! The fans are all fired up for MJF but the Gunns are upset. MJF stomps a mudhole into Juice, digs his boots in, but lets off at 4. Juice bails out but MJF goes out. Fans chant “He’s Our Scumbag!” as MJF whips Juice hard into railing! Then hard into more railing! MJF drags Juice up to whip into the timekeeper’s area! The table goes with him! Philly fires up more and MJF gets himself a drink of water. MJF then SPITS that in Juice’s face!
MJF brings Juice away from the timekeeper’s area to SMACK him off a chair. MJF makes Juice take a seat in the corner, he refreshes the ring count, and he pounds the apron. Fans clap along, MJF runs in, and he BOOTS Juice over the railing! Fans fire up even more and MJF feeds off that energy. The Gunns are frustrated on Juice’s behalf as MJF drags Juice back to ringside. MJF then has the legs to CATAPULT Juice into the post! MJF gets in the ring, hears the fans cheer, and then he goes back out after Juice. MJF ROCKS Juice with a haymaker, right where Juice is bleeding from that forehead.
MJF SMACKS Juice off steel steps, then stalks Juice to a corner. MJF drags Juice up, says if he wants a gold tooth, here’s one! MJF stands on Juice against the steps! The Gunns storm over, the ref backs them off but Juice YANKS MJF into the steps! The ref reprimands the Gunns, tells Juice to get in the ring, and Juice has MJF on the apron. Juice drags MJF up, to APRON DDT! MJF flounders while the Gunns taunt him, and Juice staggers up. The crimson mask is growing, but Juice gets in to cover, TWO! Juice glares through his blood and hair, and Colten distracts the ref! Austin slides Juice MJF’s own scarf to CHOKE MJF with!
Fans boo as Juice gets away with that, hides the evidence, and covers. TWO, and fans fire up again! Juice snarls, he throws down fists on MJF, then tells him to go to hell! Juice soaks up the heat from Philly and then Jay White makes his way out to taunt MJF with Triple B. The Switchblade is all smiles as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
White seems to be joining commentary, and Juice TOSSES MJF out of the ring. The ref watches the Gunns closely but Juice gets in his face about the blood. That allows Austin to CHOKE MJF! MJF gets up, gets in the ring, but Juice is on him in the corner. Juice whips MJF hard into a corner and MJF bounces off buckles. Juice paces around, Austin distracts the ref and Colten gives Juice the scarf! Juice CHOKES MJF again! Juice high stacks, TWO!! MJF is still in this and Juice argues with the ref, but the count was fair. Juice seethes, but he stalks MJF and clamps on a chinlock. MJF endures as Juice grinds him down.
MJF fights up as fans rally, and he throws body shots! Juice throws MJF down by his hair! And then SENTONS! Cover, TWO! Juice is frustrated but the fans rally up as MJF stirs. Juice blows snot on MJF, but MJF throws body shots! Juice HEADBUTTS MJF down! Juice taunts the fans and Dynamite returns to single picture. Juice paces around MJF, stalks him, but then Colten distracts the ref. The scarf returns, but MJF snatches that to CHOKE Juice! The Gunns complain, the ref is busy with them, and White shouts from commentary! Juice claws MJF’s face! Juice throws the scarf and shouts at MJF. MJF ducks the leg lariat!
MJF CLOBBERS Juice, CLOBBERS him again, then scoop SLAMS! Fans fire up as MJF dribbles Juice off the buckle! The buckle’s logo is going from white to red, and then MJF climbs up. MJF rains down fists all the way to nine, then winds up, to BITE Juice!! Fans fire up, MJF lets off as the ref counts, and then MJF whips to WRING Juice into the buckles! MJF storms around, tasting Juice’s blood in his mouth. The fans tell MJF he’s sick, but then MJF takes the kangaroo stance! Fans fire up as MJF aims, to KANGAROO KICK! Juice falls out of the ring and MJF shakes the ropes! The fans are thunderous as MJF then builds speed!
But the Gunns trip MJF! The ref was busy watching Juice! Juice gets in to LEG LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Juice is frustrated, but the fans taunt the “ASS~ BOYS!” MJF sits up but Juice scuffs him. MJF stands, Juice throws a forearm! MJF SLAPS Juice and eggs him on. Juice throws another forearm, but MJF says to actually hit him! So Juice claws MJF’s eyes! The ref reprimands, Juice runs, but MJF ducks and handsprings under! Juice blocks a kick to flip MJF, but MJF lands on his feet! MJF pokes Juice in the eyes! The ref reprimands, MJF smirks and runs, but Juice SPITS at MJF! Then LEFT HAND O’ GOD!
Juice gets MJF up, MJF grabs for ropes, but Juice still POWERBOMBS!! Cover, TWO!! Juice is frustrated but so is White. White coaches Juice from commentary, and MJF is up in a corner. Juice runs in but MJF ELBOWS him away! MJF goes up and leaps, to DOUBLE STOMP the arm! Juice runs in but MJF puts him in the ropes! KNEE, and then HEAT- NO, Juice throws MJF away! MJF hobbles, but he ducks Juice to DIVE onto the Gunns! The fans fire up but White says the Gunns are innocent! Juice runs in, but MJF catches him into the apron skirt! MJF claws Juice’s eyes! Fans chant again, “He’s Our Scumbag!” while Juice flounders away.
Juice distracts the ref, pushes him aside, and then KICKS the rope to get MJF low! JUICE IS LOOSE!! White is fired up as Juice covers, TWO!! MJF survives and Bullet Club Gold is furious! The Gunns get all up on the apron, even as the ref kicks at them, all so Juice can put on TJ Maxx! But uh, MJF puts on THE Dynamite Diamond Ring! MJF told Juice before it was gonna be loaded punch for loaded punch, and he dodges the Left Hand o’ God, to hit the RIGHT HAND O’ THE DEVIL!! Then he DECKS Austin, DECKS Colten, and sets Juice up again! HEATSEEKER!!! Cover, MJF wins!!
Winner: MJF, by pinfall (still Dynamite Diamond Ring Bearer)
But the Gunns attack! They won’t let MJF celebrate five years with the ring, but wait! Roddy & The Kingdom roll up! Taven & Bennett brawl with the Gunns! Fans actually cheer The Kingdom, but then the Gunns clothesline Taven & Bennett out! White runs up, he has the Gunns set MJF up, and Juice prepares that fist. But wait! Here comes The Acclaimed! Caster, Bowens & Daddy Ass chase BCG off! The fans are all fired up but White shouts to cut the music! And he tells the fans to shut up! White tells MJF to listen and focus on the sound of his “sweet exotic accent.”
Forget everything about everyone else coming for this title belt! Forget about Kenny Omega, about Samoa Joe, about Wardlow or the Devil Mask! Focus on the only thing that matters, the man standing right here with the BANG BANG BELT! And MJF, you will NEVER get your grubby little hands on it ever again! At Full Gear, White will repeatedly pummel MJF into the ground, and he will breath with the Switchblade! Colten “congratulates” Devil Boy MJF on keeping the ring. But he doesn’t have Triple! But he does have what the Gunns want in the ROH World Tag Team Championships! How about Full Gear, MJF VS The Gunns?
And whether it is MJF or the Devil himself, it doesn’t matter! They’ve got two Gunns, one for each of ’em! And if you’re not down with that- OH SHUT UP, ASS BOYS!! Fans fire up for that! MJF tells them to listen up. They want their shot at the ROH World Tag titles at Full Gear? They’ve got ’em! And MJF will still see White that same night. But he is not waiting until then to get his hands on White’s “dollar store Jack Sparrow lookin’ ass.” MJF says next week on Dynamite, he takes White up on that offer. The four jabronies of Bullet Club Gold, and bring even Cardblade, he’s the only real man among them…
And they will take on MJF and three tag partners of his choosing. And when he wins, White gives back the Triple B! Because NOBODY is on the level of The Devil! White says okay then. But then Roddy shouts to Max. What?! He is literally right here, stop screaming! Roddy wants MJF to listen. Obviously it’s Roddy & The Kingdom, right? Right? Fans boo that, but MJF says these three, “Mid Mike, Mid Matt & Roddy The Simp Strong,” can do him a favor: Get those two big boys on Roddy’s lap, and all three can roll off a cliff, “you bland b*tch!!” Roddy is furious but then Caster says that must mean he’s choosing The Acclaimed, right?
Fans cheer that idea and MJF looks around. MJF doesn’t want Caster to touch him. Now, they’ve known each other a long time, and he means this from his heart. They’ve known each other since MJF was 18. He never liked Caster. And if Caster thinks MJF is tagging with him, he’s got another thing coming. MJF wouldn’t team with Caster if he was on fire and Caster was the only way to put it out. Understand that? Fans boo and Caster feels down. MJF says he doesn’t care what the fans think, but then Caster says, “So you’re saying there’s a chance?” MJF is beside himself and Bowens has to say, “Dammit, Max!”
And then DAMMIT, MJF, don’t you know? EVERYONE Loves The Acclaimed!! Caster says okay, one favor before they leave Philly tonight. Fans fire up as Caster puts out the scissor fingers! MJF glares at Caster but fans want to see it. MJF closes the scissors! Billy is upset but MJF leaves. MJF has seven days to find three people to team with him, but will he end up having no choice but to go with the AEW World Trios Champions?
Wait, here comes Kenny Omega! He steps to MJF on the stage and fans go nuts! Omega has a mic to tell MJF, “You seem to have a lot going on here, so I’m going to cut straight to brass tax. You have something that I want. But I’ve got something that you want. Now, walking out with a live microphone, I lost that the second I lost what’s not around your waist. So even though I have no right to ask, and uh, if you’re the type of scumbag that I think you are, you’ll laugh in my face, tell me to suck on some lemons, go fly a kite, dealer’s choice. But if you’re their scumbag, if you’re the champion that I think they want you to be…
“Heck, if you’re the champion that I think you deep down inside wanna be, you’re gonna hear me out. I want that belt, Max. And I reserve the right to defend my streak. So if you truly are better than me and you know it, well then Max, gee golly gosh, don’t be afraid to show it, pal.” Fans cheer and MJF says okay, how about this? The Cleaner VS The Devil, THIS SATURDAY NIGHT, MOHEGAN SUN, FOR THE AEW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!! May the best man win. MJF and Omega shake on it, and then MJF tells Omega he will because he is Maxwell! Jacob! Friedman! And he’s better than you, and you know it!
Omega smirks and says on that note, let’s bid the fans adieu. Good bye, MWAH, and good night, BANG. And oh, one more thing. “Three days, b*tch.” The Best Bout Machine and the Salt of the Earth battle it out just days before the reign record is broken, and just weeks away from Full Gear! Who survives this epic Collision?
Wardlow speaks.
“Sitting at home for four months wasn’t healthy for me. I wasn’t recovering from injuries, I wasn’t on vacation. I was going to a very dark place. I got to sit at home and watch Max, somebody who has done so much evil, who has badmouthed this company, who has s*it all over our fans, I’ve had to watch him become the name and face of the company, everybody supporting him, everybody cheering him on. I had to watch the man that I beat main event the biggest show in the history of this business, as the world heavyweight champion. How that changes a man.
“Over the past year, I have felt the Devil’s claws dig deeper and deeper into my back. Max, there is nothing left for you to take from me. And now I am going to take everything from you.” The War Dog has put MJF on notice, will MJF make it through Omega and White only to face his past?
Hook & Rob Van Dam VS The Dark Order w/ Evil Uno!
The FTW Champion once again teams with the ECW legend, right here in the birthplace of that extreme legend, and they’re taking on a team that wants to prove they’re the heroes of this story. Will Alex Reynolds & John Silver #SendHook away? Or will they find both Hook & RVD are One of a Kind?
The teams sort out and fans chant for “E C DUB! E C DUB!” Hook starts against Reynolds, Reynolds gets in Hook’s face and talks trash, but Hook shoots around to waistlock and SLAM! Hook facelocks, Reynolds fights up but Hook headlocks then hammerlocks then headlocks for a BIG takeover! Hook has a top wristlock but Reynolds fights up. Hook tags RVD and fans fire up as they mug Reynolds. RVD wrenches, arm-drags, and fans rally up. Reynolds gets away from RVD to tag Silver. RVD sighs, but Reynolds CLOBBERS him! Reynolds & Silver stomp RVD, then Silver says he’s freakin’ jacked, baby!
Silver ROCKS RVD, CLUBS him on the chest, then he throws body shots! Silver whips but RVD reverses and runs in to monkey flip! Fans fire up as Silver flounders away! Fans join in for “ROB! VAN! DAM!” Reynolds runs in, RVD dodges and Hook catches him for a DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! The Dark Order get up, RVD & Hook clothesline them both up and out! Fans fire up, Uno gets on the apron but RVD DECKS him! RVD & Hook high-ten as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
RVD says hang loose, and he waits on the Dark Order to get up. Silver stands and steps into the ring. Silver and RVD circle, fans rally up, and the two approach. RVD kicks low, wrenches to a wristlock, then tags in Hook. Hook CLUBS Silver’s arm, wrenches an arm, but Silver TOSSES Hook out of the ring! Hook gets on the apron, ROCKS Silver, then DECKS Reynolds! But Uno anchors Hook! Silver BLASTS Hook to the floor! Silver goes out to KICK Hook against barriers! Then CHOP him! Silver puts Hook in the ring, brings him over and tags in Reynolds. Reynolds stomps Hook, brings him around, but Hook throws body shots!
Hook gets around, Reynolds fights the suplex and tags Silver. Hook O’Conner Rolls, but Silver drags him up to POWERBOMB onto Reynolds’ KNEES! Cover, TWO! RVD coaches Hook but Silver taunts him. Silver CLUBS Hook, Dynamite returns to single picture, and Silver throws clubbing crossface forearms! But Hook blocks to EXPLODER! Hook and Silver crawl, hot tag to RVD! RVD rallies on The Meat Man, SUPERKICK! Silver is dazed, but RVD KICKS and spins to JUMPING LEG DROP! Reynolds runs in to fire off on RVD. Reynolds whips him to a corner but RVD puts him on the apron to then JUMP SOBAT!
RVD dodges Silver to then KICK him in the face! Fans fire up as RVD runs, ROLLING THUNDER! Direct hit and cover, but Reynolds breaks it! Fans boo but Reynolds stomps RVD. The ref reprimands but Reynolds brings RVD up. RVD NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, but Silver breaks it! Silver whips RVD to a corner, runs in but into an ELBOW! RVD goes up to JUMPING KICK! Tag to Hook and he stalks Silver. Hook reels Silver in for crossface forearms! Hook is giving Silver a taste of his medicine, then clamps on the- NO, Reynolds BOOTS Hook first! The ref reprimands and backs Reynolds down.
RVD hurries to help Hook, but No gets in with a chair! RVD dodges to VAN DAMINATOR Uno! Then WHEEL KICK for Reynolds! RVD has Reynolds in a drop zone and he goes up! FIVE STAR FROG SPLASH!! Fans fire up but Silver runs up! RVD dodges the punt, Hook has REDRUM!! Silver taps, RVD & Hook win!
Winners: Hook & Rob Van Dam, by submission
This duo is 2-0 and Hook might actually be smiling! Will they stick together and become championship worthy?
RJ City is backstage.
“Hello, I’m not Ben Mankiewicz. Tonight’s film is entitled ‘Hold That Butler’ and it-” Toni Storm cuts him off and says play the picture. We go picture in picture for “Hold That Butler!” and Toni is telling herself in the mirror, “Pull it together, pull it together, pull it together!” RJ City, presumably reprising his role as Mr. Studio Executive Man, tells her that it’s 15 minutes to curtain. What?! He gets a megaphone to say “15 MINUTES TO CURTAIN!” But what’s wrong? Storm says she’s sick of Philadelphia and this dreary set. She wants to go home. But she will, because on November 18th, she films her biggest picture yet, her “Hollywood Homecoming!”
RJ looks to the camera and winks. That’s obviously Full Gear in Los Angeles. Storm says she must get ready! Where’s her butler? Uh, he’s been behind her the whole time. And the butler says, ‘Good evening, Madame.” What’s his name? “Luther.” Good. Then she’ll call him… Luther! Very good, madame. Clementine? He throws her the fruit, she takes a big juicy bite of it, and says it is refreshing. But then she spits it out. Now come, Luther, they must get ready to go home. He nods, and Dynamite goes to break. Will the madness only grow now that Luther is Storm’s butler?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
Dynamite returns and Schiavone says they are in the greatest pro-wrestling city in the world. And now, he introduces Darby Allin and… STIIIIIING! The Relentless Icons are here and the fans fire up. Schiavone tells Sting that the announcement from last week that shocked the world surely came from the heart. Sting says it did, and he is glad to be here right now. He wants to thank some people, two in particular, that he forgot last week. But because there’s so much history for Sting here in this town, he wants to thank Philadelphia. It has been a great run, and a lot of that was here in Philly.
Sting wants to thank his tag team partner, Darby Allin. Sting means this with everything in him, he could not have made it this far without Darby, the best partner he’s ever had. Sting has some woes out there, right? No, no, not “woo,” “Woe,” As in, “Oh, Darby’s the best partner he’s ever had?” Yeah, Darby is the man. And secondly, Sting wants to thank someone who made all this happen. Without him making the phone call about four years ago now, one Tony Khan. Sting thanks TK for giving him a chance to come back and wrestle a little longer. And to go “OW~!” a few more times. And Schiavone wants the mic back so here you go.
Sting hands the mic back to Schiavone, and Schiavone says that Tony Khan should thank Sting for what he’s meant to AEW. Sting arrived in early 2021, his first match here was Revolution 2021, and now he wants his last match to be Revolution 2024. AEW is proud to be part of Sting’s great career. The fans cheer that! Schiavone says it was 35 YEARS ago, here on TBS that Sting put pro-wrestling on the map for TBS. Schiavone is so thrilled to be part of that. It elevated Sting to the icon that he is now. And we’ve all heard it, Tony Khan has a special gift for Sting. Fans chant “Thank You, Sting!” and Schiavone says he is proud to bring out the gift right now.
Everyone looks to the ramp, and wait. That music. It can’t be! BUT IT IS! RICK FLAIR IS IN AEW!! The Nature Boy makes his way down the ramp and Sting can’t believe it! Sting and Ric hug it out! Ric also hugs Schiavone while Philly loses their minds. Schiavone says Flair VS Sting on TBS made TBS wrestling what it was and what it is today. Nature Boy, welcome to AEW! Ric says that in life, there are moments that are magical. They’re few and they’re far between. And that’s the magic of the chemistry of whatever you do in life that makes you the best.
“35 years ago, this gentleman and I set history on TBS! First Clash of Champions against WrestleMania. And brother, I told him this when I inducted him into the Hall of Fame, to go 55 minutes in a match, 35 years ago or tonight, is hard. He never took a deep breath, he lived up to all of the potential, and he is not only one of the greatest wrestlers in the history of our business, one of the biggest celebrities, but dammit, he’s probably the nicest guy I’ve ever known.” Fans cheer that! So when Flair got this invitation, from the bottom of his heart, Mr. Tony Khan wanted him to be part of this, Flair wants to be here all the way to March! He wants to ride the wagon with Sting!
Flair and Sting “WOO~!” back and forth, and then Flair gives Sting a chop for old times! But wait, here comes Christian Cage. The TNT Champion has Luchasaurus and Nick Wayne with him, and fans boo as he says, “So, Tony Khan is a billionaire, and this is the gift that he gives Sting for his retirement? This is the gift?” Basically, Sting got a suit, gold chains and a black liver! Congratulations. But Christian’s impressed to see Ric is still moving around. This isn’t Weekend at Bernie’s at all! Can’t even see the strings. The fans tell Christian off but he tells them all to relax. He knows Ric isn’t dead. But he also knows there can’t be a God, or else Flair would’ve been dead 20 years ago!
Fans boo more, and even cuss Christian off. But Christian says the real reason he is out here is because last week, Sting & Darby decided to stick their noses in Christian’s business yet again. Darby, how’s that arm feeling? Still got some sour grapes about losing at WrestleDream, huh? Well, Christian will give Darby one more chance. And it’s something the Phillies baseball team couldn’t get done, either! So go ahead, look at something you will never be: a CHAMPION! Now, obviously this situation isn’t gonna go away until Christian makes it go away, so here’s his proposition.
Christian knows Sting has this beautiful dream that he’ll make it to Revolution 2024 all because he started here in AEW at Revolution 2021. Sting has this beautiful picture painted for himself, but Christian sees it differently. He doesn’t wanna wait until Revolution for Sting to be gone, Christian wants him gone NOW. So what he’s saying is, there’s three of them, and well, there’s Sting, Darby and Flair. Flair can be a partner if they want, but he looks one Superkick away from his pacemaker giving up and the rest of him withering into dust. But at Full Gear, find a partner, and the retirement will come early, and not with a big celebration. It’ll be more like a funeral.
Now someone, hit the champ’s music. HIT THE MUSIC! Sting has everyone hold on. Sting sneezes, and says sorry, he’s allergic to jackasses. First off, Darby & Sting will find a partner, and they will accept that challenge. See you there! Full Gear just got bigger, but who will be the third man, brother?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
Renee sits down with The Ocho and says the last time they saw each other two weeks ago, Jericho was down on the ground, medical team helping him, and he had to be taken to a hospital, all because of his match with “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs. Can he provide a medical update for us now? Jericho says yeah, it was a destruction, to be honest. As a pro-wrestler of 33 years, Jericho can’t remember ever being beat down like that. His ribs are still hurting after about seven or eight spinebusters and three “World’s Most Dangerous Slams.” The thing that’s hurting most is his ego.
Renee says Jericho is arguably one of the greatest of all time, we’ve seen so many different versions of Jericho over the years. But to see what happened to Jericho in the ring with Hobbs, is he hitting a certain point of self-reflection in his career to consider what he has left? Jericho says as an athlete, you always do that. Demo God, Le Champion, The Wizard, all these other iterations, one thing Jericho has always had is a sense of confidence in himself. And knowing that on any given night, he can beat anybody. But last week, he didn’t see that coming.
Hobbs came out him out the gate, and big as he is and as good as he is, Jericho thought he could remedy that but just couldn’t. He couldn’t get out of the hole that Hobbs continued to dig with Jericho’s own body over and over again. So there does come a time in a career where you self-reflect. Does Jericho still have what it takes to beat a Hobbs? Is it time to step back a bit? Or is it time to get even stronger, even more intense, even more confident because he IS Chris Effin’ Jericho? Is it time to get… revenge? Jericho says Callis has a family. Lots of guys, lots of friends.
Jericho still has lots of friends, too. And some of those friends are even bigger than Hobbs. Maybe it’s time to give those friends a call. Just who is it that The Lionheart can call upon to defend his pride?

Hardy kicks Jackson, TWIST OF FATE again! Jeff throws off the shirt and goes up top! SWANTON BOMB!! Cover, but Nick & Hangman break it! Hardy TOSSES Nick, then TOSSES Hangman! Hardy says “DELETE! DELETE!” while Philly says “This is Awesome!” Tag and Matt stalks Matt. Kick and TWIST- NO, Jackson powers out, Hangman ROCKS Hardy! Matt scoops, Nick springboards, but Hardy slips free!

Winners: The Hung Bucks, by pinfall (still ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions)
The Hardy Party put up a hardy fight, but it wasn’t enough to the good, the bad and the- Wait, what’s playing on the tron? Prince Nana is breaking into Hangman’s house?! Nana then steps aside so Swerve can step in! “Oh, y’all tacky.” Hangman is furious and he rushes to the back but what can he do so far away from home?! Swerve says the Page family owes him for taking all the opportunities. Swerve is in the kitchen, Nana eats up the chocolate covered berries. Swerve sees Hangman’s son’s artwork hanging on the fridge. They really have no taste. And he RIPS it up!! Swerve sits on the couch, and finds a book. It’s a speak ‘n’ say.
Wait, what was that? Swerve takes the camera, goes through the halls, and Nana isn’t sure this is a good idea. Swerve says shut up, and he finds HANGMAN’S SON’S ROOM! Swerve said last week it wasn’t gonna be Hangman who pays for his actions. What he meant to say was it would be his loved ones that do. Hangman cost Swerve a title opportunity, he took something from Swerve, and now he owes Swerve a debt. So since Hangman ain’t here, will it be Junior who pays? No, Hangman will be the one that pays up. Just not today. In fact, Swerve will leave a reminder that Junior is forever indebted to him, and it is daddy’s fault.
Swerve says he’ll never forget this, and neither will Hangman. Nana says time to go, and Swerve turns off the camera. This is something far beyond personal now! How far will Swerve and Hangman go to put this one to bed?
Backstage interview with Adam “Edge” Copeland.
Renee is now with The Rated R Superstar and asks what he thinks of earlier with Sting, Darby & Flair staring down Christian, Luchasaurus & Nick Wayne. We all heard Edge vow not to fight Christian, but is that going to change now? Edge says honestly, no. The friendship with Christian is more important to him than anything that could happen in this business. It just does. But then Darby walks over and says he can’t be that stupid. Darby knows Edge came to AEW to “ride off into the sunset with this fairytale ending,” but that’s not the world we’re living in. Do you think Darby wanted to break Nick’s face? No, he didn’t.
But it’s kill or be killed here. Edge says he respects Darby, but- Sting stops him there! He can’t believe they’re even having this conversation. Sting knows what it is to have the blinders on. Sting was up and down the road with Lex Luger, but he had the blinders on. Edge needs to take his off. That legend out there that just said he’d be with Sting on his way out, the Dirtiest Player in the Game, Sting learned from him. Sting learned how to see right through guys like Christian. Edge just needs to open his eyes up and see it for himself, before it’s too late. Is Edge hearing Sting? Sting gets in Edge’s face and says to listen up before it is too late!
Sting says he and Edge go way back, so don’t mess it up now. Get with it. Will the Rated R Superstar listen to the Icon?
AEW Women’s World Championship: Hikaru Shida VS Ruby Soho!
The Shining Samurai has gone back and forth with Toni Storm, she dethroned Saraya, and now she faces the Runaway. Will Shida sweep the Outcasts then, now and forever? Or will there be No Future for Shida now?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who heads from here to Full Gear as champion!
The bell rings and Shida circles with Soho. They tie up, fans rally and Shida puts Soho on ropes. The ref counts, Shida lets off but Soho turns things around to CHOP! And CHOP! And CHOP! Shida shoves back, runs up, but Soho clinches! Shida fights that to backslide, but Soho blocks that! Soho reverses the hooks, Shida fights the backslide, and then she spins Soho around. They both kick low, and they both glare at the other. Shida eggs Soho on, Soho runs up but Shida dodges, then whips, but Soho elbows back! Soho goes up but Shida stops Nightshade to kick low! Shida whips, Soho blocks and then runs to duck ‘n’ whip Shida to a corner.
Shida goes up to CROSSBODY! Not the cleanest but Shida brings Soho up to scoop and SLAM! Fans rally as Shida puts Soho in a corner. Shida climbs up and fans fire up as she rains- NO, Soho slips out to YANK Shida down! Soho whips, clinches and STO! Cover, TWO! Shida has a ghost pin! TWO, they roll and roll and roll and the fans fire up! Shida has the cover now, TWO!! Soho escapes but Shida fires up. Fans are with her and she climbs up in the corner. Shida rains down those fists after all! Shida goes all the way to TEN, fires up more, and she kicks Soho from the corner. Shida adjusts to MISSILE DROPKICK!
Soho bails out, fans fire up and Shida storms out to grab Soho. Soho breaks free to SUPER NO FUTURE! Shida falls and fans boo but Soho smiles as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Soho soaks up the heat, then she drags Shida up. Shida is dead weight but Soho still puts her in the ring and covers, TWO! Shida is still in this but Soho stomps her around. Soho soaks up the heat, taunts the fans, and then stomps Shida more. Soho motions she’ll be champ now, and then she looms over Shida. Soho taunts the fans more, eggs Shida on, and Shida sits up. Soho pushes Shida back down, pie faces her, but Shida throws body shots. Soho eggs Shida on and Shida throws more shots, but Soho HEADBUTTS her down! Soho stands on Shida at the ropes, but lets off as the ref counts 4.
Soho soaks up more heat, then CHOKES Shida on the ropes! The ref counts, Soho lets off, then she drags Shida back up. Soho snap suplexes, covers, TWO! Shida is still in this and Soho is annoyed. Shida pushes Soho away, but Soho storms up to CHOP her against ropes. Soho whips but Shida blocks by holding ropes, so Soho ROCKS her! Soho whips, but Shida JUMP KNEES! Fans fire up while both women are down! The ref checks, and a standing count begins. Dynamite returns to single picture as the count reaches 4 of 10. Shida stands first, she ROCKS Soho! Soho ROCKS Shida! They go back and forth and fans fire up!
Shida gets the edge, Soho is wobbly, and Shida goes to torture rack. Soho fights that, swings, but Shida blocks to ROCK her again! Torture rack for the stretch, then she DROPS Soho! SLIDING FOREARM! Cover, TWO! Soho survives but Shida goes up a corner. Fans fire up as Shida aims, but Soho THROWS her down! Cover, TWO!! Shida gets thar arm up and Soho is frustrated. Soho goes and rips a buckle pad off! The ref reprimands, takes the pad, but this is all misdirection so Soho can get her spray paint! Soho gives it to Shida to set her up! The ref sees that and Shida defends Soho is playing possum!
Soho bails out, grabs the title belt, and runs in, but then Shida does spray the paint! Soho shields herself with the belt, and now it’s green instead of gold! The ref takes the belt, Shida feels awful, but Soho uses her wrist tape to CHOKE Shida!! Soho reels Shida in, DESTINATION UNKNOWN!! Cover, TWO!?!? Shida survives and Soho is furious!

Shida roars, drags Soho up, and she suplexes. Soho fights free to NO- NO, Shida blocks the kick this time! V-TRIGGER! And then the FALCON ARROW! Cover, TWO!! Soho sits back, TWO! Soho hits the bare buckle! Then the KATANA!! Cover, Shida wins!
Winner: Hikaru Shida, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Champion)
Soho tried all her tricks but it just cost her in the end! Shida still feels awful that her belt is green, but wait! Toni Storm makes her entrance, accompanied by her butler, Luther! The Hollywood Homecoming is, well, coming and Storm clearly wants her shot at the title. But will it still be Shida holding onto the green- er, gold by then?
Backstage interview with MJF.
Renee checks with the AEW World Champion while the trainer checks his arm. The challenge has been set and accepted, MJF VS Omega is happening on Collision for the AEW World Championship, but also the record for longest reign as AEW World Champion. How is MJF feeling ahead of that match? MJF says there are a lot of emotions, but wait, who is coming in? Samoa Joe is applauding and congratulating the champion. But Joe is here with good intentions. MJF is a man who suffers from a severe lack of friendship. MJF needs a lot more people watching his back these days, by someone who has MJF’s best interests at heart.
So Joe has a simple offer. Joe will be MJF’s “friend.” Oh, sounds good to him. They shake on it, but Joe says this is under one condition: MJF gives Joe the rematch for the AEW World Championship. And he doesn’t have to answer that now. But the way things are going, Joe knows he’ll get his answer soon enough. Joe heads out, did the Devil of AEW just make a deal with another devil?

But while Jon Moxley is still on the mend, the American Dragon & Swiss Superman are stepping up to the champ and the Rainmaker! Will Bryan & Claudio tear down this dynamic duo? Or will Chaos reign on Dynamite?
The teams sort out and Bryan wants Okada, but he gets Cassidy first. The fans rally up, Cassidy and Bryan circle, and the fans rally behind Freshly Squeezed. Cassidy puts the hands up, but Bryan KICKS the leg out! Bryan kicks Cassidy around, wrenches and wristlocks, then wrangles Cassidy to isolate that arm and STOMP it! And then he KICKS Cassidy in the back! Bryan drags Cassidy up, wrenches and hits an ELBOW BREAKER! Bryan wrenches to another wristlock, Cassidy rolls. Then Cassidy kips up! Cassidy wrenches, hammerlocks, headlocks and hits the takeover! Bryan headscissors and squeezes tight!

But then Claudio swings on Okada!
Okada ducks, ripcords, but Claudio dodges to springboard and UPPERCUT!! But here comes ORANGE- POP-UP UPPER!!!! Cover, BCC WINS!!!
Winner: Bryan Danielson & Claudio Castagnoli, by pinfall
The Swiss Superman just pinned the International Champion! But wait, Bryan is holding his jaw! Did Bryan get hurt again? Wheeler Yuta & Jon Moxley rush out to check. Is the BCC being whittled down right before our eyes? Meanwhile, the full Best Friends/Chaos contingent hurries out to have Okada stand down. Claudio still has a golden ticket on Cassidy, and Tony Khan’s making it official already! Will Claudio take the International Championship from Cassidy? We also have a stare down of Hook and Yuta, will the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil have to handle The Decoder? Is this all turning into faction warfare before our very eyes?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite here with a really star-studded night. Ric Flair showing up as the gift to Sting really was some great stuff given their history, and of course Christian Cage had to rain on the parade. Sting & Darby also had a good moment with Edge, because duh, this is going to give us the Six Man Tag I knew we were getting the moment Edge even showed up here. Hook & RVD of course win against Dark Order, but hard to say where any of that is going. This one might’ve just been because they were in Philly, birthplace of ECW.
And of course, what an awesome main event tag with Okada’s AEW TV debut. Hopefully Bryan isn’t legit hurt after that Orange Punch, as it looks like BCC and Best Friends might have a revived feud going forward. Though I guess that’s assuming the feud was ever considered off. But Cassidy VS Claudio next week for the International title will be awesome stuff, and perhaps could go either way. Yuta and Hook interacting is cool, too, with a potential FTW Championship match happening for both guys to really show their technical abilities but also their hardcore sides, because we know both guys have that in them.
Really good Six Man Tag for the ROH titles, but I figured Hung Bucks would retain. But then that home invasion promo from Swerve was actually powerful stuff. There have been promos like that before, but not quite the way Swerve did them. Both the way he filmed it and just the tone of it really blows the other examples out of the water. This is all why Swerve does deserve to be a singles champion in AEW. Swerve VS Hangman rematch at Full Gear is going to be awesome stuff, and I almost want them to go with an Unsanctioned Match just so they can go wild with it to give us a blow-off.
Great match from Shida VS Soho, with really clever uses of the spray paint and other cheat spots. Shida was of course going to retain, and given what “Hold That Butler!” teased, it is of course going to be Storm facing the champion at Full Gear. I like the field in that Fatal 4 Way to give Shida a challenger on Collision, and it is hard to say who from Skye, Willow, Anna and Abadon will win. However, it just feels right that with Halloween just a week away, Abadon makes a great return to give Shida one more great defense before Full Gear. And that is because, with how things are feeling, Timeless Toni Storm could totally take that title off Shida at Full Gear, as much of a shame that is for Shida.
Great promo from Jericho to tease him bringing someone into this story, and the only person I can think that Jericho means is Paul “Big Show” Wight, harkening back to #JeriShow when they were a half decent tag team. Good promo from Wardlow to explain why he’s suddenly after MJF again, and it does make some sense. Wardlow can’t stand that others have forgiven and accepted MJF when MJF was the worst of the worst, AND Wardlow can’t stand that after beating MJF (during what was basically worked-shoot story of MJF not being happy until he got paid a crap ton of money), it is MJF who gets all the best opportunities. Wardlow got booked into a BS corner where QT helped Hobbs beat him, and Wardlow never got any real revenge, and so he’s going back to the root of the problems: MJF.
And speaking of MJF, great stuff from him at the opening of the show, which is the surprising thing in itself. Would’ve thought they’d have MJF be middle or even main event. But having The Devil of AEW show up separate from MJF is great stuff to establish it is someone else under the mask. Great promo with MJF, Adam Cole and “Simp Strong” as MJF put it, Roddy again messes up how to be a good friend by acting like he’s having to step down to MJF’s level. Great Dynamite Diamond Ring match, and I’m surprised they went with MJF retaining the ring all on his own. But Roddy & Kingdom failing to make the save while Acclaimed succeeded was also a great move, but I should’ve figured MJF would be reluctant to team with Caster.
Omega making a challenge to MJF for Collision is awesome, and that match will be awesome. Something has to happen on Collision that not only helps MJF retain but compels MJF to accept The Acclaimed’s help because who is there for MJF to turn to? MJF rejected Roddy & Kingdom for good reason, but former Pinnacle members ain’t helping MJF (where’d Shawn Spears disappear to this time?) and any other trio probably just hates MJF for his past, too. Samoa Joe had a good promo with MJF, though, setting himself up as next for after even Jay White on Full Gear. Maybe Joe subs in for Adam Cole so that MJF has a proper tag title match against The Gunns during the Zero Hour because that keeps MJF fresh for his match with White, and therefore better off for when Joe gets his turn.

AEW World Trios Championships: The Death Riders VS AR Fox & Top Flight!
Jon Moxley survived another title defense thanks to Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta & Pac, but now they must defend their own titles. Not only that, but it is against the three men that won that $300,000 Rampage Holiday Bash battle royal back in 2022. Will the Death Riders continue their reign of terror? Or will these high-fliers really cash in here tonight?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and it is time to slam, if you wanna jam!
The trios sort out, and The Decoder starts against Darius Martin. The fans rally up as the bell rings. Yuta and Darius circle, tie up, and Yuta wrenches to a hammerlock. Darius reaches back to headlock, then he chinbars into a cravat. Yuta spins through to trip Darius and has a toehold. Darius endures while fans rally. Darius turns over, reels Yuta in and headlocks back. Yuta brings Darius to his knees, then waistlocks. Darius switches and SLAMS Yuta, then floats to turn Yuta over for a cover. ONE, and Darius avoids a leg sweep to headlock. Yuta powers up and out, Darius goes up and over, then Darius arm-drags Yuta!
Yuta gets up, Darius DROPKICKS him, and Omaha cheers. The fans cheer, Darius CHOPS, then he tags in Dante. Darius whips, Yuta reverses, but Darius rolls off Yuta’s back. Darius SOBATS, Dante sweeps, and Darius DOUBLE STOMPS! Dante covers, ONE, but Dante wrenches to wristlock. Yuta pulls hair to put Dante in the corner, and Claudio tags in. The Swiss Cyborg stomps Dante, the fans boo, but Claudio waistlocks. Dante switches and hops on for a SLEEPER! Claudio powers up and out, but Dante sunset flips! Claudio flails to stay up, and he drags Dante right up to his feet! Dante dodges, and he fires forearms!
Dante fires more shots but Claudio shoves him away. Dante dodges, ROCKS Claudio, but Claudio returns to CLOBBER Dante! The fans are torn but Pac applauds. Claudio fires body shots, then UPPERCUTS. Claudio pie faces Dante, whips corner to corner hard, then runs up, but into a BOOT! Claudio just comes back, blocks a boot, but not the ENZIGIRI! Dante goes up and up and RANA! Not the cleanest but Claudio still tumbles out. Claudio hurries back in, tag to Pac. Pac RAMS Dante, then slingshots up and over. Pac keeps moving, but Dante CLOBBERS him! Tag to Fox and he LARIATS Pac! And goes Matrix to then PELE!
The fans fire up for Fox and he has Pac. Fox whips, Pac reverses, but Fox stops himself. Yuta runs up but Fox TOSSES him! Pac runs up, Fox puts him on the apron and sweeps the legs. Pac is on the apron, Fox builds speed, just to slingshot STOMP Pac on the apron! Then he CANNONBALLS Yuta! But Claudio runs up to BOOT Fox down! The fans boo, Top Flight protests, but Claudio deadlifts Fox into the ring! Pac storms in and stomps Fox around. Pac drags Fox up, bumps him off buckles hard, then tags Claudio. They mug Fox, Claudio ROCKS Fox, and then drags Fox up. Fox tries to power forward but Claudio keeps him back!
Claudio powers Fox back, he tags Yuta in, and they mug Fox more. Yuta stands Fox up to reel him in, and he snap suplexes! Cover, ONE!! Fox stays in this but Yuta stays on him. Fox JAWBREAKERS free, goes Matrix again, hot tag to Darius! Darius CLOBBERS Yuta, BLASTS Pac, then BOOTS Yuta! Darius keeps moving, HOTSHOT BULLDOG DROPKICK COMBO!

Yuta is annoyed but he keeps Darius down with a wristlock, and mockingly claps hands, while Collision goes picture in picture.
Yuta drags Darius up, bumps him off buckles, then tags Pac. Pac stomps Darius down, kicks him around, then kicks Darius in the side!

The fans fire up, but here comes Claudio! Dante dodges, Fox PENALTY KICKS! Then Fox goes up the corner to MOONSAULT! Down goes Claudio and the fans fire up again! Fox puts Yuta in, then climbs the corner, for a SWANTON BOMB! Cover, TWO!! Yuta survives but Fox hurries to go back up a corner! But Claudio anchors Fox, but Top Flight YANKS Claudio down! Fox adjusts, but Yuta trips him up now! The fans boo, the ref reprimands Yuta, but then Pac DOUBLE LOW BLOWS Top Flight!! Claudio DOUBLE LARIATS Top Flight, and the Death Riders regroup. The ref reprimands, but the Death Riders don’t listen as they surround Fox.
Omaha is thunderous for Fox as he fights back, 3v1! But Claudio! blocks a kick, and the mugging is on! The ref reprimands, Claudio stands Fox up, and he sends Yuta in, ELBOW! Claudio UPPERCUTS! Pac ELBOWS! Yuta ELBOWS! Repeat! The fans boo as the cycle of violence continues! Then Pac hits a TOMBSTONE!! ROCKET LAUNCHER! Cover, Death Riders win!
Winners: The Death Riders, by pinfall (still AEW World Trios Champions)
Chaos reigns as The Death Riders screwed over their old rivals. Fox & Top Flight regroup and the fans cheer, but THE CRU attacks! Action Andretti & Lio Rush grin as they CLOBBER Darius! They talk trash, and then Dante gets up, only for Action to LARIAT him down! But where’d Fox go? Wait, now Lio & Action undo their chain necklaces, so they can CHOKE Top Flight with them!! The fans boo, more refs rush out here, but The Cru has already choked out Darius & Dante! Will this be the end of this animosity? Or have Lio & Action only put themselves back on Top Flight’s radar?
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-

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?

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!

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?
Julia Hart VS Queen Aminata!

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. Briscoe springs up to hit the crane stance! Callis says that is disrespectful!
Konosuke blocks the crane kick, spins Briscoe around, and back suplexes, only for Briscoe to land out. Konosuke kicks low, whips Briscoe to a corner, but Briscoe goes up and out. Briscoe eggs Konosuke on, then counters the punch with a REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUT! Briscoe climbs, aims, and leaps, but Konosuke BODY BLOWS the ax handle down!

Konosuke sputters while Rocky gives some Azucar Heat. Rocky runs to DIVE, but Cage catches him! And hands him off to Konosuke! APRON POWERBOMB! Cage CLOBBERS Briscoe, Archer whips Hobbs into railing!
The fans boo, the Callis Family soaks up that heat, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Archer hits buckles, staggers around, and he tags to Konosuke. Konosuke drops an ELBOW on Rocky! Konosuke looms over Rocky, CLUBS him, and then brings him around.

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
