Six Man Tag: The Hardy Party VS Daniel Garcia, Matthew Menard & Angelo Parker w/ Jake Hager & Anna Jay!

What a WONDERFUL~ way to open Rampage! But will Matt, Jeff & Brother Zay be able to DELETE the former Jericho Appreciation Society? Or will the Dragonslayer, Daddy Magic & Cool Hand Ange show the true power of sports… enner-tay-ners?

The teams sort out and Garcia starts with Isiah Kassidy. They circle, tie up, and are in a deadlock. Garcia waistlocks, Zay pries at the hold and wrenches to a wristlock. Garcia rolls, gets ropes, and Zay lets off. Fans rally as Garcia and Zay reset. They tie up, Zay waistlocks, but Garcia switches. Zay switches, Garcia switches, and then Garcia SLAMS Zay to float all over him. Garcia slaps Zay around, “kicks rocks,” and then takes his stance, but Menard AND Hager both say to NOT do the dance? But they’re sports… enner-tay-ners! What’s wrong with- Oh, Zay headlocks! Garcia powers up and out, but Zay goes up and over!

Fans rally, Garcia drags Zay up and Menard says to bring him over.

Garcia bumps Zay off buckles, then tags in Menard. Fans fire up for Daddy Magic and Menard RAMS into Zay! Menard tags Parker. Parker DECKS Zay, then Parker drags Zay to tag Menard back in. Menard tags Garcia before they whip Zay to a corner. They send Garcia in to elbow Zay, then Parker whips so Menard can whip Parker in to forearm smash! Feed to a drop toehold, BOOYAH ELBOW! Garcia covers, TWO! Zay survives having #JustATaste but he ROCKS Zay! Tag to Parker and the X-JAS mug Zay. Then they double whip Zay but Zay uses that to triangle jump and STUNNER on Garcia!

Zay dodges Menard & Parker, then hot tags Matt! Fans fire up as Matt rallies on Menard & Parker with big clotheslines!

Tag to Garcia, and he WRINGS Matt’s arm out! Garcia hits his stance, but Menard tags in! Menard says Garcia knows not to mess around, but then Matt fires off! Parker & Menard mug Matt, Garcia joins in, btu then Jeff & Zay go after Parker & Garcia! The Hardy Party TOSSES the X-JAS out!

Hager wants a timeout as the X-JAS regroup. They huddle up and discuss a game plan while Rampage goes picture in picture.

Matt Hardy grows impatient and he drags Matt Menard up by his hair! The others drag Hardy out to RAM him into railing! Garcia wags his fingers and Hager talks trash. Then they put Hardy back in, Menard BLASTS Zay & Jeff, then he stomps Hardy. Menard CLUBS Hardy then CHOPS him, and then tag to Parker. Menard & Parker mug Matt, and Parker snap suplexes! Cover, TWO! Parker scrapes his laces off Matt’s face, then pushes him to the corner. Tag to Garcia and Garcia stomps a mudhole in! Garcia stands on Matt, soaks up heat, but lets off as the ref counts. Zay protests but the ref keeps him back, allowing Garcia and the others to dig all their boots in!

Rampage returns to single picture as Matt kicks back. Garcia throws hands, tag to Menard, and Parker claws Matt’s face! But Hardy fights free, clinches with Menard, but Menard elbows free! Matt rebounds to LARIAT Menard down! Fans fire up and Matt crawls for his corner, hot tag to Jeff! Parker tags in but The Charismatic Enigma rallies on him! Jeff then hits an atomic drop, trips and hits the LEG SPLITTING LEG DROP! And the basement dropkick! And an ELBOW DROP! Cover, Menard breaks it in time! But Zay runs in to waistlock.

Winners: Daniel Garcia, Matthew Menard & Angelo Parker, by pinfall

Garcia pulls off the win, even with his sports entertainment, and that is the detail that sticks out to Menard. Parker and Hager say it’s okay, so long as it wins. Menard storms off all the same, is there trouble within the “family?”

 

AEW shares an interview from after Dynamite.

Renee Paquette was with Penta El Zero Miedo & Alex Abrahantes in hopes of getting an update on Rey Fenix’s medical condition. But then Bullet Club Gold had to interrupt. The Bang Bang Gang say hi to Mr. Cero Miedo. Zero fear, right? Well, it could also be zero BELTS, because Penta has no gold. Just like his brother, Fenix! That’s why White likes those two, they’re just a cute little brother tag team. Not like the Gunns, they’re the best brother tag team. But Penta & Fenix are matching now! Penta says the major difference between his brother, Fenix, and Jay White is that Fenix actually won his belt, where White “robaste.”

Alex Abrahantes translates: Jay White is a robber and a thief! BCG take offense to that, and Juice tells Alex to shut up. Penta tells Juice to shut up but White says he has earned every little sparkly, shiny piece of gold on the Bang Bang Belt. Penta wants to take that from White? Penta will get his moment with White in the ring, though. But White’s beaten ’em all and he’ll beat Penta, too! They will all Breathe With The Switchblade, the “real” AEW World Champion! Penta tells White he’s never faced anyone with CERO! MIEDO! But see you then. Will Penta avenge Fenix’s honor while humbling King Switch?

 

Backstage interview with the X-JAS.

Rampage returns as Renee is with Garcia, Parker, Hager & Menard and says that was great redemption after last week. But she can’t help but feel like there’s still some tension here. Menard says no, great win, great team victory. He just wants to say, he isn’t sure why, but he can’t stand the dance moves anymore. Garcia says the dancing is what is getting the win! Parker has them both calm down. Are they really going to do this after getting the win they were looking for? And y’know what? Maybe Garcia’s got a point. The dance worked out, so bring it down a little bit. Menard asks Parker if he even knows who Menard is, asking him to cool down!

Hager shouts over everyone that this is enough! They won. Look at him, guys. Squash the beef. Squash it? Menard says Garcia should squash it, and Parker should squash it, and Hager should squash. EVERYBODY ELSE should squash it! Menard storms off again, Garcia says he’s being childish. Parker & Hager wanna focus on the win, will Menard come around to that way of thinking?

 

Jay Lethal w/ Team Triple J VS Trent Beretta w/ Chuck Taylor!

Eddie Kingston is ROH World Champion and is putting in the work, so now he wants his challengers to do the same. Will Lethal do just that here on Rampage? Or will he lose to #JustTrent?

The bell rings and fans rally as the two circle. Triple J distracts and Lethal attacks! Lethal puts Trent in a corner to stomp away then digs in his boots! The ref counts, Lethal lets off and makes sure Eddie is watching. Lethal vows to be the next ROH World Champion! If Eddie doesn’t think Lethal has what it takes, that’s an embarrassment. But then Lethal turns around into a CHOP! Lethal wrenches, Trent wrenches and CHOPS! Lethal knees and whips but Trent reverses. Trent drops down then jumps up to METEORA! Fans rally, Trent scrapes his foot off Lethal’s face, and Lethal goes to a corner.

Trent storms up but Lethal YANKS Trent into buckles! Sonjay says sorry, that Trent sucks! Lethal drags Trent up, scoops and SLAMS him, then paces around. Lethal gets the legs, steps through, but Trent kicks at him! Lethal gets that legs, jackknifes, but Trent rolls through to rain down fists! Trent kicks low, TORNADO- NO, Lethal pushes Trent away. Lethal storms up but Trent RANAS! Trent SUPERKICKS Lethal down, covers, TWO! Triple J is relieved but Trent gets the legs. Jarrett distracts the ref, Trent scowls at him, and he brings Lethal up to CHOP! Trent whips, Lethal reverses but Trent ducks ‘n’ dodges but then Lethal ducks, the crossbody hits ropes!

Trent tumbles and falls out of the ring, Lethal distracts the ref and Jarrett has his guitar! But the Kentucky Gentleman storms over with a chair! The Last Outlaw backs off and the ref reprimands everyone. But Lethal slides! Trent dodges, and he ROCKS Lethal! Lethal ROCKS Trent! They go back and forth, the ring count climbs, but Trent whips. Lethal reverses and sends Trent into railing! But Trent comes back to SPEAR Lethal down! Fans fire up and Lethal rolls away towards his team. Trent drags Lethal up first, puts him in the ring, but Lethal bails out. Sonjay runs up but Trent DECKS Sonjay! Lethal picks Trent up to POST him!

Lethal slides in, the ring count continues, and Jarrett joins in as Rampage goes picture in picture.

Lethal drags Trent to SLAM the leg against railing! And again! And again! Lethal lets off, talks trash on Chuck, then slides in. The count passes five as Trent hobbles up, and Trent slides in at six! Lethal again talks to the camera and to Eddie, then he stomps Trent. Lethal brings Trent to snap suplex! Cover, TWO! Lethal has Trent’s leg and has a KNEEBAR! Lethal pulls on the leg, Trent endures, and fans rally up. Trent sits up to CHOP! And CHOP! Lethal lets go to drop an elbow! Lethal rains down fists, the ref reprimands but Lethal lets off. Lethal checks on Sonjay as Sonjay checks his jaw. Lethal wrenches an arm, to stomp Trent’s leg!

Lethal brings Trent up to kick the leg again! Then CHOP BLOCK! Lethal smiles and he pushes Trent to a cover, ONE!! Trent stays in this but Lethal drags Trent up. Trent throws body shots, ROCKS Lethal, but Lethal drop toeholds! Lethal SMASHES the knee, and Rampage goes to break.

Rampage returns and Lethal mocks Trent, runs, but Trent JUMP KNEES Lethal outta the ring! Fans fire up and Trent PLANCHAS! Direct hit and down goes Lethal! Fans fire up and Chuck checks Trent. Trent is okay, but his leg still hurts. Trent drags Lethal up and puts him in. Trent storms up but Lethal wants the leg! Trent CLUBS away on Lethal, backslides him, TWO! Lethal swings, misses, Trent rolls Lethal up, TWO! Lethal swings again, Trent ducks to GERMAN SUPLEX! Trent holds on and fans fire up! Another GERMAN SUPLEX! Trent still holds on, he brings Lethal up again but Lethal fights the lift!

Lethal trips, Trent shoves, and Trent catches the handspring to a HALF ‘N’ HALF! Cover, TWO!! Lethal survives but Trent grits his teeth. Fans rally up, Trent rises, and he brings Lethal up. Lethal has the leg, trips Trent, and steps through! FIGURE FOUR! Trent endures and fans “WOO~!” Trent’s shoulders are down in a cover, TWO! Trent reaches out, drags Lethal with him, but Lethal lets the hold go to drag Trent back! BASEMENT SUPERKICK! Lethal goes up the corner, to MACHO- NO, Trent gets a boot up! Only for Lethal to grab it! But then Trent uses that to drag Lethal into a cradle! TWO!!

Lethal ROLLING- JUMP KNEE! Trent takes Lethal down again, and fans fire up as Trent spins. Lethal ducks the rolling elbow, back suplexes, but Trent lands out! Only for that bad leg to jam! Lethal SUPERKICKS, handsprings, LETHAL INJECTION!! Cover, Lethal wins!

Winner: Jay Lethal, by pinfall

Team Triple J celebrate with their leading man, but there is still a long road ahead. Will Lethal prove himself a worthy challenger to the Mad King’s throne?

 

Ortiz speaks.

“Y’know what I realized? Why I fought so hard for Proud ‘n’ Powerful to work? That’s because at one point in time, Mike Santana, you believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. And I spent over a decade trying to repay that favor to you. Sadly, I realized, you were never standing with me, you were just standing next to me. But you being you, you gave me a new sense of purpose, and that’s to hurt you how you hurt me.” But wait, here comes Santana! Ortiz says it must be bright out of he’s wearing shades.

Santana says week after week, and only now does Ortiz pop off. Every week, Ortiz wants to pop off in front of these cameras, but where was he the entire time Santana was out? When he went through surgery? Ortiz says fine, go and put him down. Santana says 14 MONTHS, and he got not one call, not one text. Ortiz asks about the year before that. Santana counters with the time where he had to check himself into rehab, spending 30 days facing his problems? Ortiz “plays the tiniest violin” for Santana. Santana asks where Ortiz, his brother in arms, was for that 14 months. Ortiz says Santana wasn’t talking to him for a whole year before that!

Santana and Ortiz keep arguing their points, but Santana says they should handle this the only way they can. They can put hands to work and do this the right way. The way they do it where they come from! Ortiz says Santana must hate himself but Santana says he loves himself more than anybody here and Ortiz can’t stand it! Oh, finally, some truth! Ortiz says Santana is all about him, him, him. Santana says he was the one taking care of this team! Ortiz says Santana was the one calling Ortiz a crutch, so that must mean Ortiz was holding him up. But Santana says he doesn’t need him anymore. Okay, then Ortiz will take the other knee.

Santana says it wasn’t karma or anything that hurt his knee. It was carrying the Monkey on his back! Santana and Ortiz are ready to end each other, who will truly be the most Proud ‘n’ Powerful?

 

Skye Blue VS Emi Sakura!

Chicago Skye fell to the Fallen Goddess, and has been stained by Julia Hart, but now she is put up against the Queen of Joshi! Will Skye still find a way to get back on track? Or will this be another big loss to another big name?

The bell rings, the two circle, and fans rally up. They approach but then Emi dodges and laughs. Skye rushes up, but Emi blocks the schoolgirl to stomp Skye! Skye CHOPS, Emi CHOPS, and repeat! Fans fire up as the CHOPS keep going! Emi laughs and CHOSP! Skye dodges then tilt-o-whirls to RANA Emi! Fans fire up as Skye runs in, but Emi dodges the shining wizard to DUMP Skye out! Emi goes out to CHOP Skye down! Skye ends up by the steps, Emi “sips tea” and runs in, to SPLASH against the steel! Fans fire up and Emi laughs again, then Emi puts Skye in the ring. Cover, TWO! Skye grits her teeth as she shows her grit.

Emi says she is still Our Highness, and she gets Skye’s legs. Emi hooks those up, SLAPS Skye’s back and gets the arms to pull, pull, and ROMERO SPECIAL! And then she goes deeper! But Emi’s shoulders are down and the ref counts it, TWO! Emi lets Skye go in time and argues with the ref why that was a cover on her! Skye goes to a corner, Emi storms up and mocks the fans chanting for Skye. Emi then CHOPS and Skye sputters her way to another corner. Emi CHOPS again! Skye goes to another corner, Emi runs in but Skye ELBOWS her away! And BOOTS her! And then runs, dodges, and blocks a kick to KNEE back! DDT! Cover, TWO!

Emi is tougher than that but Skye drags her up. Skye full nelsons, Emi fights the lift, and Emi breaks the hold! Emi slips tea, then BITES Skye’s finger! These aren’t finger sandwiches, Emi! But she CHOPS Skye, underhooks, and lifts! TIGER STALL, and BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO!! Skye survives again and Emi is a bit annoyed. But then Emi drags Skye up by her hair, dragon sleepers, but Skye slips free of the twist to SUPERKICK! And runs, hops on, CODE BLUE!! Cover, SKYE WINS!

Winner: Skye Blue, by pinfall

A huge comeback victory for Skye, but she’s still got a way’s to go. Will Skye rise back up to title contention soon enough?

Mark Henry welcomes us back.

“The battle between the Mogul Embassy and the Blackpool Combat Club continues as the Gates of Agony throw down with Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta.” Video plays of the chaos to end Title Tuesday, so it looks like there’s been enough talk. It’s TIME for the main event! Will the Swiss Superman & Decoder tear down the Gates? Or have them slammed shut in their faces?

Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta VS The Gates of Agony w/ Prince Nana!

The teams sort out and Bishop Kaun starts against Yuta. They circle, tie up, and go around. Yuta wrenches, wristlocks, and he grinds Kaun down to hammerlock that arm. Kaun reaches back, fights back up and he switches the hammerlock to then headlock for the takeover. Kaun traps an arm and Nana says Mogul Embassy forever! But Yuta fights and headscissors Kaun, but Kaun fights around, slips out, and he ties up the legs. Kaun slaps Yuta around but Yuta gets a leg! Kaun gets ropes and Yuta lets off. The two go again, Yuta grabs an arm and he wrenches again. Kaun powers Yuta to a corner and the ref counts.

Kaun lets off slowly, pie faces, but Yuta SLAPS Kaun! Kaun snarls while Yuta eggs him on. Kaun runs in, Yuta goes up and over and scoops to SLAM! Then SENTON! Cover, ONE!! Kaun is tough but Yuta has the arm again. Yuta wrenches, tags Claudio, and fans rally up. The BCC handoff, double whip, and DOUBLE BOOT!

Kaun knees low, whips, but Yuta uses that to ROCK Liona! Kaun SPLASHES! Kaun suplexes but Yuta slips out to waistlock.

Kaun switches, shoves Yuta to ropes, but Yuta rewinds, only for Liona to CLOBBER him from the outside! Fans boo but Liona snarls and Kaun fetches Yuta. Kaun whips Yuta into apron, into railing, and repeat! And repeat! Claudio storms over, the ref keeps him back, but Yuta CHOPS Kaun! But Liona POUNCES Yuta! Fans fire up and the Gates stand tall as Rampage goes picture in picture.

Claudio checks Yuta but then Liona storms over to fetch Yuta. Liona whips Yuta hard into railing! Liona drags Yuta up to make him look at the camera, and then Liona BITES Yuta’s forehead! Liona pushes Yuta around, but Yuta CHOPS! Yuta gets in the ring, Liona pursues, and Liona drags Yuta from Claudio. Liona then SPLASHES down! Yuta writhes, Liona stares Claudio down, and Liona drags Yuta up to TOSS him to the corner! Tag to Kaun and the Gates mug Yuta! The ref reprimands as the Embassy dig their boots in! Liona lets off, Nana gets some shots in, and Kaun has Yuta in the ropes to bend him back.

Kaun CLUBS Yuta with crossface forearms again and again, then drags Yuta up to CHOP! Yuta sputters, but he fires back with forearms and CHOPS of his own! And on both Gates! Yuta CHOPS Kaun, reaches out, but Kaun keeps him from Claudio! Kaun RAMS Yuta into the corner! Tag to Liona, and Kaun SLAPS Liona to fire him up. Kaun whips Liona in to SPLASH!

Liona RAMS Yuta into a corner! Liona is free and he brings Yuta up to the top rope.

Tag to Kaun and Kaun CLUBS Yuta. Kaun climbs up, scoops, and TOP ROPE BACKBREAKER! Yuta flops to the apron, where Liona hits an APRON SENTON! Kaun covers, TWO!! Yuta survives and Kaun is frustrated, but Kaun keeps Yuta from Claudio. Rampage returns to single picture as Kaun wraps on a chinlock. Kaun grinds Yuta down but fans rally up as Yuta endures. Yuta fights up, throws body shots, but Kaun knees low! Kaun whips, Yuta rewinds and gets around to GERMAN SUPLEX! Fans fire up while both men are down! Yuta and Kaun crawl, hot tags to Liona and Claudio! Claudio fires UPPERCUT after UPPERCUT!

Fans fire up as Claudio uses both arms, then he fires clotheslines over and over in the corner! Claudio goes all the way to TEN, then to SEVENTEEN, before an UPPERCUT!! Claudio runs to CLOBBER Liona!

Claudio DUMPS Liona out, UPPERCUTS Kaun, and Yuta hits the PAINTHRILLER! Yuta goes up while Claudio UPPERCUTS Liona against railing! Claudio returns to give Yuta the boost, FASTBALL SPLASH!! Cover, BCC wins!

Winners: Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta, by pinfall

A huge win for the club to stick it to the Mogul Embassy! But will Bryan Danielson top it all off by winning the TNT Championship? Or will Captain Charisma still be the Face of TNT?


My Thoughts:

A very good Rampage here, and they’re doing better about Rampage not being just a filler hour. Though perhaps Skye VS Emi was technically filler. Good match and good win for Skye, but she needs to show signs of being affected by Julia Hart’s black mist. Julia Hart is away on her honeymoon with Lee Johnson (congratulations to the happy couple) so there needs to be a substitute Lady of the House of Black for right now. And perhaps Skye can leap to that next level of competition if she changes up her style. She’s even getting a title shot on Collision, so maybe something about her changes there.

Great opening Trios with The Hardy Party and X-JAS, and while a bit odd that Menard is so against the Garcia dance, I like the dynamic it is playing and how the fans are definitely on Garcia’s side about it. Commentary did a good job of saying how there’s no new leader in this group yet, and clearly Menard is trying to be, but it might end up one of the others because Menard just can’t handle making decisions with a level head. Sure seems that way given the promo from after. And also good promo from Penta & Alex with Bullet Club Gold, setting up a match for Dynamite. Pretty sure Bang Bang Gang finds a way to screw Penta over, though.

Really good stuff in that Ortiz and Santana promo, felt very real. Though surely that’s them tapping into their real feelings of frustration over how PNP didn’t become tag champs and then Santana got hurt, with their real issues having been resolved already. They’re going to have a great 1v1 match and I bet it’ll be a really wild No Disqualification style match. Really good match from Lethal and Trent with a mostly clean night from Team Triple J. Lethal wins, of course, to get his story with Eddie and the ROH World title going. There’s a good chance Lethal’s match with Eddie happens on AEW TV rather than ROH TV because duh, Tony Khan has been doing that more and more with the ROH belts.

And really good main event tag, Yuta looked great as he survived Kaun’s singles finisher and a lot of damage from the Gates as a duo. Good win for BCC, as I expected, but it doesn’t really change what’s happening against Bryan and Christian on Collision. Though I suppose eventually getting a 4v4 feud of Mogul Embassy VS BCC could be a lot of fun.

My Score: 8.5/10

It’s a battle of machines to begin Maximum Carnage! The Cleaner won at WrestleDynasty, then returned to AEW last week to assure us that while he may not be the Kenny Omega he once was, he’s still going to fight until he’s back on top! But will that comeback begin tonight? Or will not even the former AEW World Champion be better than Cage?

The bell rings and the fans fire up. Callis is on commentary complaining that Omega “assaulted” him last week when Callis simply wanted to welcome Omega back.

Omega goes to fireman’s carry but Cage is a meaty man. Cage CLUBS Omega, the fans boo, but Cage ROCKS Omega. Cage whips, Omega KICKS him away, then Omega reels Cage in! But Cage is still too meaty for a bomb lift! Omega still wants it, but Cage BACKDROPS him away! The fans boo but Cage scoops Omega for some bicep curls! The fans boo more, but Cage FALL AWAY SLAMS Omega! Callis admires Cage’s muscles as Cage flexes. Cage stalks Omega, RAMS him into the corner again and again. The fans tell off Callis, and Omega facelocks! Cage BACKDROPS free again, then aims from a corner.

Omega hobbles to his feet, but Cage LARIATS him into a corner! The fans boo more but Cage stands Omega up. Cage whips corner to corner, runs in, but Omega BOOTS him! Cage comes back, Omega goes up and over, rolls, but Cage stops the rana to BOMB Omega! Cage deadlifts Omega up, but Omega RANAS free! The fans fire up as Cage tumbles out! The fans cheer Omega on as the Terminator Drums begin! Omega builds speed, but Lance Archer stands in the way! The fans boo, but Omega BOOTS Archer down! But then Cage LARIATS Omega! Callis is proud of his guys while Cage soaks up the heat. Cage drags Omega up and TOSSES him out.

Cage soaks up more heat while Omega staggers around. Cage goes out to whip Omega hard into railing! Cage mocks the fans, “Who’s the Best Bout Machine now?” Cage brings Omega up while the fans boo, and SMACKS him off the apron! The ref starts the ring count, but Cage hoists Omega up!

Omega BOOTS Cage, full nelsons, but Cage snapmares free! Omega ducks the discus, Cage ducks the lariat, but the V-TRIGGER hits! Cage ends up on ropes, V-TRIGGER again! And then Omega stands Cage up, and Electric Chair Lifts!

The fans fire up as Omega brings Cage around, for the ONE WINGED ANGEL!! Cover, Omega wins!!

Winner: Kenny Omega, by pinfall

Just as his new theme says, Omega has risen like the phoenix! But wait! Archer attacks, and Kyle Fletcher shows up to join in! The fans boo as the Callis Family mugs Omega! BODY BLOW!! The fans boo again, but here comes OSPREAY! Ospreay fires hands with Fletcher, and he LARIATS Fletcher up and out! Archer choke grips Ospreay! CHOKE- NO, Ospreay slips free and ENZIGIRIS! Archer staggers around, into a V-TRIGGER! Ospreay adds a HIDDEN BLADE! The fans fire up as Aerial Assassin and Best Bout Machine stand together again! Callis is furious, and then Ospreay BOOTS Fletcher off the apron! PLANCHA!

Wait, wait, wait! Now Konosuke Takeshita is here! The Alpha has returned from his trip to Japan, and he shows off both belts! Omega just shows him both fists! The fans fire up for this brawl, but Fletcher slithers in! SNAP HALF ‘N’ HALF on Omega! Takeshita hits a LARIAT on Omega! Ospreay returns to fire hands and CHOPS! But Kyle CLAWS Ospreay’s eyes! ALPHA ELBOW from Takeshita! The fans boo but now Kyle and Konosuke get Ospreay and Omega up! STEREO BRAINBUSTERS!! The fans boo as the Callis Family stands tall, though it helps that it was 4v2 in the end. But will the Family leave their former brothers in arms dead and buried in the past?

 

MVP speaks.

“I’m not just adept at managing the affairs of the Hurt Syndicate. I am an expert in managing how much oxygen you can breathe. For the first time in two-and-a-half years, MVP’s taking off the suit and lacing up the boots. We are the Hurt Syndicate…” Shelton Benjamin finishes the line with, “And we hurt people.” Will they do just that against Mark Briscoe & Private Party? We find out just after the break.

 

Chris Jericho speaks.

“Hi, guys~! Welcome to another New York Minute. I hope everybody’s enjoying Dynamite tonight right here in Cincinnati, in the heart of the Bluegrass State. But you’re gonna enjoy yourselves even more this Saturday on Collision, as we get ready for one of the biggest, most anticipated matches in Collision history. It’s gonna be The Learning Tree and Jon Moxley’s Death Riders VS Rated FTR, The Outrunners, and Powerhouse Hobbs.” Bryan Keith says, “That’s a dozen mother effers!” Jericho and Big Bill both give a concerned sideways glance, then Bill continues by saying, “As the Learning Tree always says, ‘Size matters.'”

Jericho says yes it does indeed, Redwood! And they also know all about their opponents, especially Rated FTR! The Learning Tree has already shown that Cope is a Dope, and Harwood is No Good! What’s Jericho got for Cash Wheeler? Uh… Wheeler… is a Kneeler! Get it? Like, he’s kneeling at the feet of the King of New York! Sick burn, LT. Jericho knows everyone is asking why Jericho and Moxley are tagging together, how could they possibly get along? Well, Jericho will say this. He has known Moxley a long time, and he can guarantee that they will be on the same page. Right? That’s it! Another New York Minute! Thanks, guys~!

Well, it is certainly a star-studded 6v6 set up for Saturday, but will things go Jericho’s way? Or will the #RatedFTRunners and The Book of Hobbs be the ones to punctuate Maximum Carnage?

 

“Everyone, show some love for… Ricochet!”

What? The fans boo as The One & Only makes his way out here, golden scissors in his lapel pocket. Those are the very same scissors Ricochet used to assault Swerve Strickland like a complete psycho! Ricochet tells the fans to hush before he steps into the ring, then he grabs a mic. The fans chant “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Ricochet is very annoyed by this, and he asks they all quiet down. The fans boo instead. Ricochet wants to speak but he’s rather flustered. The “SWERVE’S HOUSE” chants return and that riles Ricochet up a bit more. Ricochet paces, and says, “Y’know what? It’s okay. That’s how it’s gonna be? Listen. A picture is worth a thousand words.” And so on the tron is the image of Ricochet holding a bloodied Swerve up by his dreadlocks.

But then “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” The man himself is here! Ricochet says okay, he’s ready. But no he’s not, cuz Nana slides in from the crowd! Nana SMACKS Ricochet on the back, then does his dance! The fans cheer as now the Most Dangerous Man walks his way out here, chain draped over his shoulders. Ricochet scrambles away before Swerve can lash him! Ricochet runs away into the crowd but Swerve is in pursuit! Swerve shoves security out of his way, but Ricochet’s escaped to the cold streets of Cincinnati! Will Swerve get his hands on his new target next time?

 

AEW shares “A Day in the Life of a CEO.”

That is to say, we’re following Mercedes Mone as she does her media rounds. “First, we make money.” Mone was a special guest on the Sherri Shepherd show shortly after winning even more gold at WrestleDynasty. Sherri got to admire the “Queen of Southside” Championship that comes along with the Rev-Pro Undisputed British Women’s Championship, both of which Mone won off Mina Shirakawa. Mone signed autographs, took pictures with fans, and Sherri promised that she’ll be there whenever Mone’s in town. “Then, we shop.” Mone bought herself some new jewelry with the money she surely earned becoming a FOUR BELT CEO.

“Them, we train.” Mone knows it is a New Year, and she is dripping with gold! She also knows having four belts puts an even bigger target on her back, but she stays ready! Whoever wants to jump on the Money Train next, let’s go! #MoneChangesEverything, but will she continue to stack dollars and collect titles?

 

Six Man Tag: Mark Briscoe & Private Party VS The Hurt Syndicate!

The Sussex County Chicken was not a chicken when it came to facing down any of the men in the Hurt Syndicate, but that’s why he ended up getting beat up 3v1! Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy came to Briscoe’s rescue, especially since they were told to their faces that the Hurt Syndicate wants the AEW World Tag Team Championships. Will MVP, the Standard of Excellence & The All Mighty begin on their New Year’s Resolution to hurt people? Or can Briscoe, Quen & Zay #ManUp and take the fight to them?

The trios sort out, but the Syndicate just attacks all at once! The bell rings, Briscoe and MVP stay in the ring but Lashley & Shelton drag Private Party out of the ring! And send them into railing!

Shelton scoops and SLAMS Briscoe on the floor, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Shelton leaves Briscoe behind to the mercy of the ring count, but Briscoe stirs already. Briscoe crawls, but Shelton tags Lashley, and Lashley drags Briscoe up. Lashley RAMS Briscoe into the apron, APRON URENAGES, then shoves Briscoe in. Lashley fires up, runs in, and RAMS Briscoe in the corner! Lashley then brings Briscoe around for a NECKBREAKER!

BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!

After Swerve Strickland almost got his revenge on Ricochet, these two will have THREE WEEKS to prepare themselves for a showdown! Dynamite will be in Atlanta, Georgia on February 5th, who will survive this grudge match?

 

Jeff Jarrett is here!

Cincinnati cheers as Double J makes his way to the ring, and he grabs a mic to say, “What’s up, Cincinnati? Y’know, the last few weeks, I mean, they sure have been humbling for me.” But then before he can say more, MJF makes his way out here! The fans are torn seeing the Wolf of Wrestling strut out here, and he has them cut his music. MJF steps into the ring with Jarrett, throws his gum into the crowd, and says, “Humbling? Jeff Jarrett, you have yet to learn the definition of the word. Last week, I gave you the opportunity of a lifetime, bud. And you had the audacity to turn me down?”

Jarrett tells Max to not even get started. MJF was too lazy to enter the gauntlet, so he came up with some scheme- MJF shouts for Jarrett to NEVER interrupt him!! The fans boo but MJF cools off. He just wants “Jeffery” to get real. This is MJF. If MJF retired tomorrow, he’d go into the AEW Hall of Fame! He’s a living legend! Jarrett walks around like he is one, too, and he sure has the “dumb shmucks” convinced. But allow MJF to “school all the simple-minded folk on the real legacy of The Last Outlaw. Emphasis on ‘Last,’ because Jeff Jarrett is the last thing you see before your favorite wrestling company dies.”

The fans boo but Jarrett laughs that off. MJF tells Double J that this last year with the possibility of him winning  MJF’s Triple B would be “a whole lot cuter and warmer and fuzzier” if Jarrett wasn’t “literally the definition of a pro-wrestling grim reaper.” The fans boo, MJF says he is talking, so what’re they doing? Shut up! MJF continues by saying that when he thinks on Jarrett’s career, it is enough to make him wanna drink. Oh… Sorry, MJF took it way too far. He knows Jarrett is a raging alcoholic. Recovering! Sorry, MJF meant recovering. But hey, MJF just had a great idea! “Listen to me, you fat skank, I’m talking, shut your fat mouth!”

The fans boo but MJF goes on to say he has a great idea. How about for the health of AEW and for Jarrett, MJF sends Jarrett packing back to rehab where he belongs. But hey, do MJF a favor before then. Make sure that sexy wife of his, Karen, sticks around. MJF happens to be a big fan of hers. But hey, he’s not a monster, he’s the Salt of the Earth. So when MJF’s “through with her,” he’ll ship her back to Tennessee for Jarrett. That way, Jarrett can be the first man in history to know what a generational talent and an Olympic gold medalist’s nuts taste like!! The fans boo but Jarrett still laughs MJF off.

“Max, Max, Max… Not only everything you just said was crude and stupid, but it’s all been said before a thousand times. It’s all been done before a thousand times. But let’s get to the heart of the matter, Max. Let’s get to business.” Jarrett knows the best years of his career are behind him. But last Summer, when Jarrett entered the Owen Hart Cup, the AEW fans awakened a passion in him. The fans cheer that! The fans awakened a desire Jarrett didn’t even know he still had. And Jarrett will do everything in his power to keep that fire going, to keep that passion going, because it’s the one thing that puts him on track to the AEW World Championship.

The fans cheer again, and Jarrett tells Max, back to that shtick. MJF thinks he can just poke fun at Jarrett, have his zingers, and hurt Jarrett’s feelings, right? Oh, Max, Jarrett was MJF before MJF was MJF! Everything MJF can say or do, Jarrett has done. He did it before MJF, and he did it better than you. But hey, hold on! Before we get all bent out of shape, MJF kinda confused Jarrett. Jarrett isn’t sure if MJF’s a dumbass or a scumbag. But knowing where MJF comes from, maybe it’s all the above. Because hear Jarrett out, there are days where Jarrett feels sorry for MJF. The fans chant, “He’s Our Scumbag!” and Jarrett agrees.

But see, Jarrett has some family history on this scumbag. MJF had a tough upbringing. It must’ve been tough being raised by a call girl for a mother. And MJF’s ambulance chancing attorney of an old man, well, it must be tough being raised by that. Jarrett knows for a fact that when Mr. Friedman knocked Mrs. Friedman up, she still made him pay for that. MJF is seething but Jarrett tells him to hold on. The old saying goes, “We all marry our mommies.” So that’s very fitting for MJF when his old lady is nothing but a Canadian call girl.

And oh, one final thing. This very ring, the night MJF was tearing the house down with Will Ospreay, that was just his version of 60 Minutes Through. At the same time, in the back parking lot, his old lady was doing her version of 60 Minutes Through, with about ten other wrestlers! Max, look at Jarrett! MJF needs Jarrett, and he doesn’t even know why. But it’s because MJF is drowning in his own s*it! MJF may be lazy, entitled, and a pr*ck, but deep down, he’s a scared little boy. MJF was scared to enter the enter the gauntlet, scared that at just 28 years of age, his best years are behind him, and he’s scared of ever getting back on top.

And like Jarrett said last week, MJF is scared of becoming a one hit wonder! The fans chant “One Hit Wonder!” at MJF, but MJF says no no no! One Hit Wonder? Scared? MJF is NOTHING like Jarrett! MJF didn’t need his daddy to make him a top guy, MJF didn’t need to start his own company to be a top guy, because MJF made MJF! We saw in the past what happens when Jarrett is “King of the Mountain,” but let’s talk about when MJF is king. MJF is the only man to thank for the biggest pro-wrestling show of all time: 82 THOUSAND, Wembley Stadium, AEW All In! MJF is the one to thank for the record PPV buys, record TV ratings, and record ticket sales!

MJF was the BEST IN THE WORLD! The fans do cheer that. MJF says Jarrett can laugh all he wants, because then MJF got screwed. Screwed out of his world championship! His name, his legacy, his reputation, dragged through the mud to this day! The same people who put MJF on a pedestal now have willingly, with a smile on their face, taken it out from under and treated him like nothing! MJF ain’t nothing! And MJF will tell Jeff something! MJF doesn’t want to win the world title, he NEEDS to win it so he can shove it down every single one of their throats! But instead, MJF has to wait in line for Jeff Jarrett?

MJF laughs and say should on here. With all due respect, the people aren’t very bright. And with all due respect, no wrestling fan has ever given a single, solitary s*it about Jarrett. But y’know what really pisses MJF off, Slapnuts? The fact that “just because” Jarrett was best friends with Owen Hart, Jarrett thinks he his owed a grand finale? Jarrett may have had all these stupid, simple-minded shmucks convinced, but MJF sees through Jarrett’s BS. During the Owen Cup, Jeff saw through the “carny succubus.” Jarrett is nothing more than a LEECH, riding the coattails of his DEAD FRIEND!

Oh, did MJF strike a chord now? He thought Jarrett was all tough. Or does he just not like it when MJF talks about his old pal, Owen Hart? JARRETT DECKS MJF! Jarrett rains down fists and the fans fire up! Security rushes out there and they drag Jarrett away, but Jarrett throws them all away! Jarrett CLOBBERS MJF, but Karen rushes out here! Karen gets Jeff to stop, but then MJF grabs Karen in a SLEEPER! The fans boo, MJF throws Karen at Jeff, then runs away. The Wolf of Wrestling is again a worm, will The Last Outlaw make sure to exterminate him once and for all?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Collision!

Maximum Carnage this Saturday was already big, but now we add some gold! Kazuchika Okada faces former Chaos teammate, Tomohiro Ishii, in a defense of the Continental Championship! Will the Rainmaker make it rain in Cincy? Or will the Stone Pitbull sink his teeth into an AEW title?

 

Christian Cage w/ The Patriarchy VS Hook!

Captain Charisma still has his All In Casino Gauntlet contract, but that’s because he hasn’t had a clear path to a cash-in just yet. He wants to add to his “family” first, can Christian convince the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil to be his new son? Or will Hook make sure Christian can’t even hold that contract in his hands?

Well speaking of, Hook attacks Christian during his entrance! The fans fire up as Hook rains down fists, his real dad, Taz, watching on commentary! Shayna Wayne steps to Hook, but that’s just a distraction so Christian can run away into the ring. Hook storms in, the bell rings, but Christian bails back out! Christian wants a timeout but this ain’t that kind of match! Hook runs out to CLUB Christian, SMACK him off the apron, and he fires hands!

The ring count is climbing, Christian pushes past to slide into the ring, but Hook storms after him. Hook ROCKS Christian and has him on ropes! Hook CHOKES Christian, but he lets off as the ref counts. Hook fires shots, whips Christian, but Christian bails out! The fans boo as Christian wants to just run away! Hook pursues up the ramp and to the tunnel! They brawl in there, Hook CLUBS Christian back down the ramp, but Christian turns things around. Christian UPPERCUTS, then CHOPS! Christian runs up, but Hook BACKDROPS him into the ring! Hook storms in, and Christian wants mercy! The fans boo, but Christian tries to explain.

Christian still tries to recruit Hook to his side, saying he’ll be a better father than Taz. Hook looks Christian in the eyes as Christian promises he can take Hook to a higher level. They hug?! The fans are torn, but then Hook hits a BELLY2BELLY! Hook got one over on Christian, and now throws down hands in the corner! The fans count along, Hook goes all the way to TEN! Hook hops down, then whips Christian back into the corner! Christian bounces off buckles, falls back, and then falls out of the ring! Mother Shayna is there to comfort him, and the fans boo while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Hook paces while the ring count climbs. Christian catches his breath, but then here come Kip Sabian & Nick Wayne. Hook stares Christian’s “sons” down, but Christian slides in to CLOBBER Hook! Christian stomps away at the ropes, then stands on Hook! The ref counts, Christian steps off, and he soaks up the heat. But wait! Katsuyori Shibata is here! The Wrestler is still a friend of Hook’s, and he coaches Hook up. Christian protests but the ref says it is only fair with The Patriarchy all at ringside. Hook storms up to Christian, fires body shots, and he backs Christian into a corner! Christian bumps Hook off buckles, CHOPS, then reels him in! REVERSE DDT! Cover, TWO!

Christian stays on Hook by CLAWING his face! The ref reprimands, Christian stops, and Christian soaks up the heat. Christian CLUBS Hook down, stands on that bad hand, then stands Hook back up. Christian CLUBS Hook down again, steps on the hand, then drags Hook. Hook drags Christian down into a cradle, TWO! Christian CLOBBERS Hook! Christian puts Hook on ropes, then CHOKES him by standing on his back! The ref counts, Christian steps off, and Shibata coaches Hook while Christian hugs his “family.” Hook rises up, Christian brings him around and hits a snapmare.

The ref counts, Christian shifts into a legal chinlock, but Hook endures. Hook fights around, Maximum Carnage returns to single picture, and Hook throws body shots! Hook runs, but Christian ELBOWS him at the ropes! The fans boo but Christian paces around Hook. Christian stands Hook up in a corner, climbs up, and now he rains down fists! Christian stares Taz down between punches, but Hook brings Christian off the corner with a fireman’s carry! Christian grabs ropes in desperation, so Hook TOSSES him out! The fans and Taz all fire up!

AEW hears from the Men’s Casino Gauntlet participants.

Roderick Strong tells “JAAAAY… White,” that Roddy should’ve won that #1 spot in the Casino Gauntlet, but he wants White to know that Roddy’s not done with him yet. The Switchblade’s response is that Roddy Strong shoulda-coulda-woulda. If Roddy wanted to win so badly, he should’ve tried harder. As for Wheeler Yuta, he was the one to stop White. So if Yuta wants White’s attention, then fine! He’s got it! As for Adam Cole, he said that match had the best of the best. It had Hangman Page, it had Daniel Garcia, and- Kyle O’Reilly stops Cole there. Danny Garcia? Really? Kyle doesn’t see it. Not everyone is as good as they say they are, Adam.

Garcia himself says people keep saying that Garcia is stretching himself just a little bit thin. If he’s TNT Champion, why’s he in the Continental Classic? Why’s he in a Casino Gauntlet? Garcia wants to fight every single week! So if you want a shot at Garcia’s gold… Cole says The Undisputed Kingdom IS as good as they say they are, and in 2025, they promise us… #LetsGetIt! The Kingdom will get their hands on gold, and that is undisputed! Everyone’s gunning for someone, but who gets what they want? And who gets just what they deserve?

 

Backstage interview with Jeff Jarrett.

AEW returns as Renee Paquette is with Double J, and she brings up that confrontation between him and MJF. Jarrett said the AEW audience has awoken the passion in him, and that MJF is scared. But then MJF got under Jarrett’s skin, so where do they go from here? Jarrett takes a moment to think, but then Dustin Rhodes steps in! The Natural says what MJF said pissed him off, too. Dustin asks Jarrett, “How many years have we known each other? How many years have we driven up and down these roads, grinding our asses off because of the passion and love for this business? A lot. He doesn’t know a thing about that, and you know that.”

Dustin says MJF’s been in this business a minute, yet he’ll dictate to Jarrett and disrespect him? THAT pisses Dustin off! Dustin is 110% behind Jarrett, and wants Jarrett to fulfill the dream of becoming AEW World Champion. Max doesn’t know everything that guys like Jarrett and Dustin have been through. Knocked down, dragged through s*it, and then gotten back up, because that’s what they do! MJF has no clue! Whatever MJF does to Jarrett, Dustin knows Jarrett’s been through it. Just like Dustin has. But remember this: You’re Jeff Jarrett! A 12-TIME WORLD CHAMPION, and that means something!

Jarrett is the Last Outlaw, and outlaws never die. So please, just remember this. The two of them, they are the very last of their kind. Will this motivation from the dual ROH World Tag Team & ROH World Six Man Tag Champion be fuel on the fire that Jarrett uses to reach the mountaintop?

 

Mariah May is here!

The Glamour brings her AEW Women’s World Championship to commentary as she prepares to watch the women’s division fight for their shot at her.

AEW Women’s World Championship #1 Contender’s Casino Gauntlet!

The gentlemen had their fun, now the ladies finally get to roll the dice! The first-ever Women’s Casino Gauntlet will send one woman to Grand Slam: Australia, who faces “The Woman From Hell” when AEW goes Down Under?

Kris Statlander is first, a right she earned when she defeated Willow Nightingale and Toni Storm in last week’s Triple Threat. But who starts with her? It’s JAMIE HAYTER! Hayter Hits Hard, but will she punch her ticket to Australia? The bell rings, we’re on the clock, and Mariah thanks commentary for having her. She also asks Taz that now that he’s got a new knee, wanna roll around later? Taz says he is happily married but he’s flattered by the offer. Oh, she meant in the ring. Well, Taz is also retired, so he can’t. Meanwhile, Hayter and Kris tie up, go around, go along the ropes, and the fans duel.

Mariah says Hayter is the best woman to come out of Britain not named Mariah May. The ref counts a ropebreak but Hayter and Kris move off ropes. Hayter headlocks, Kris powers up but can’t pull out as Hayter holds on. Kris tries again, gets free, and they RAM shoulders! The fans cheer as neither woman budges. Hayter runs, RAMS Kris again, then kicks low! Hayter runs, Kris dodges and she runs Hayter over! The fans fire up while Kris flexes, but Hayter stands up. Hayter runs up, Kris avoids a boot but Hayter ducks a roundhouse. Hayter ripcords, Kris ducks the lariat and comes back, but now Hayter dodges!

Both women run in, and DOUBLE LARIATS collide! Neither woman falls, but then Hayter BOOTS Kris! The fans fire up and Mariah says she might actually prefer fighting someone tonight so she won’t have to fly down to Australia. Hayter CLUBS away on Kris, kicks her down, then brings her up for a suplex. Kris slips free, shoves Hayter, but Hayter rebounds. Hayter ducks a lariat, the countdown is here, but Kris kicks low! FISHERMAN BUSTER! But number three is here, and it’s… MEGAN BAYNE!? Even Mariah is shocked to see “The Megasus” return to AEW after quite the stint in Stardom, GCW, and has even won the HOG Women’s Championship!

Mariah laughs in disbelief, is Bayne even eligible for this match? Where’s her “is All Elite” graphic? Go ask Tony Khan where that tweet is! Bayne still steps into the ring, and she stands face to face with Kris! The fans fire up as the forearms fly! Bayne ROCKS Kris, RAMS her into the corner again and again, then CHOPS! Bayne whips corner to corner, runs up, and SPLASHES! Then she whips again, but Kris reverses! Kris UPPERCUTS Bayne, runs corner to corner, but Bayne LEAPING LARIATS! The fans fire up and Bayne hauls Kris to her feet. Bayne suplexes, Kris fights that to suplex, but Bayne fights back!

Bayne suplexes to FALCON ARROW! Cover, Hayter breaks it! The fans fire up as now Hayter stares Bayne down. Hayter fires forearms, but Bayne is not impressed! Hayter runs, but Bayne kicks her low! Bayne reels Hayter in, suplexes, and she holds Hayter up! The countdown is back, but Hayter counters with a DDT! The fourth woman is here, and it’s… JULIA HART! The Princess of the Black Throne got a win off Hayter not that long ago, and she dares Hayter to come back for more! They brawl at the ramp! The fans fire up as Hayter CLUBS away on Julia, then snap suplexes her on the ramp! Julia writhes, Kris and Bayne brawl ringside, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Mariah is only a little worried, but Hayter CLUBS away on Julia in the ring. Bayne sends Kris into barriers! Hayter and Julia fire fists, then Hayter ROCKS Julia! Hayter whips, Julia reverses and wrenches to STO! Cover, Kris breaks it! Kris drags Julia up but Julia JAWBREAKERS free! Julia fires forearms, then whips, but Kris reverses. Kris runs in at the corner, but Julia STOMPS her down! Julia storms around, goes to the far corner, then runs back in. But Kris hits a SNAP POWERSLAM! Kris drags Julia up, TOSSES her out, and Bayne is there to scoop Julia! SLAM to the floor! Julia writhes but Bayne storms into the ring.

Kris and Bayne meet again, and Bayne pie faces Kris! Kris pie faces back! The pie faces go back and forth, then turn into forearms! Kris and Bayne fire fast ‘n’ furious shots, then Bayne ROKCS Kris! Bayne runs, but Kris ROCKS her! Kris runs, but Bayne follows to ROCK her back! Bayne runs, but Kris UPEPRCUTS her! And CHOPS! And ROCKS! And CHOPS! Repeat! Kris keeps on Bayne again and again, then runs, only for Bayne to fireman’s carry! Kris fights free, ROUNDHOUSES Bayne, then PELES! Kris roars, runs, but gets caught! EXPLODER! Bayne fires up, and Julia POSTS Hayter! Julia stomps away on Hayter, Bayne brings Kris up, and snap suplexes her!

Maximum Carnage returns to single picture as Kris flops out of the ring. Julia CLUBS Hayter, and the countdown is back! Bayne waits on the fifth woman, and it’s… WILLOW NIGHTINGALE! Mariah sighs, but the Babe with the Power steps right to Bayne! Willow BOOTS, but Bayne just frowns. Willow fires forearms, then whips, but Bayne reverses to ROCK Willow! And BOOT her down! Kris returns to waistlock Bayne, but she ducks an elbow! JAWBREAKER, HAYMAKER, then Kris CLUBS away on Bayne! Hayter turns things around on Julia and whips her hard into barriers! Willow & Kris work together to DOUBLE SUPLEX Bayne!

The fans fire up, and Kris & Willow smile as it’s like the old days. Mariah mocks the “friendship” while the two square up. Willow CHOPS Kris, Kris CHOPS back, repeat! The fans “WOO~” as each CHOP echoes out! Willow ducks a chop, shoves Kris, then runs to POUNCE~! PERIOD! The countdown is back already, and the sixth woman is… TONI STORM! The Rockstar “Rookie” is back, and Mariah really hates seeing this. Toni storms in in but willow fireman’s carries! Toni sunset flips, TWO! Willow storms up but into a snapmare! Toni RUNS Willow over, snapmares Julia and runs her over!

Hayter is back, Toni snapmares her to run her over! Then a snapmare and shoulder tackle for Kris! The fans fire up with Toni and Mariah mockingly plays along, “What a great rookie!” But Bayne CLOBBERS Toni! Bayne fireman’s carries Toni, then THROWS her out onto Kris! The fans rally, “She’s a Rookie!” Willow CLOBBERS Bayne! Hayter BOOTS Willow! Julia kicks Hayter to DDT! Willow LARIATS Julia! The fans fire up as Willow stands tall, and she goes to the apron. CROSSBODY onto Bayne! Willow smiles and poses, the fans cheer, and Willow drags Bayne up. Bayne and Willow throw hands, but Kris is on the stage?

The fans fire up as Kris SUPER CANNONBALLS! Down goes Willow & Bayne, and the fans fire up with Kris! But Toni HIP ATTACKS Kris off the apron! Julia BLASTS Toni! Julia and Hayter are all alone, Cincy fires up for “Women’s Wrestling!” but also the countdown! Julia and Hayter fire fast ‘n’ furious fists, but the seventh woman is… HARLEY CAMERON! Mariah sighs again as everyone now will FEEL THE WRATH! Harley runs up to ROCK Julia, then bump her off buckles! Harley goes up, in, and dodges Julia to ENZIGIRI! Cover, Hayter breaks it with a deadlift GERMAN SUPLEX! Hayter snarls but Julia runs up to clinch!

Hayter wrenches free, clinches, and HAYT-BREAKER! But Harley rolls Hayter up! TWO!! Hayter escapes, Harley ENZIGIRIS! “FEEL THA WRATH~!” Harley runs, but into a HAYT-BREAKER! Hayter pumps up, for the HAYTER- NO, Harley ducks the lariat! But Julia’s BLACK MIST hits Harley full in the face! Then SUPERKICK for Hayter! Julia runs to BLINDSIDE LARIAT! But Toni snatches Julia into a cradle! TONI WINS!!

Winner: Toni Storm, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the AEW Women’s World Championship)

Mariah is mockingly happy for “the rookie,” and Toni herself is stunned that she’s getting a world title match in her home country! This is quite the remake of a timeless classic, but will they flip the script on the original? Or will it still be All About Mariah?

 

AEW World Championship: Jon Moxley w/ The Death Riders VS “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs!

The last time The Maniac was in the Book of Hobbs, it was AEW Homecoming, and it was for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. Moxley didn’t so much win as he did retain, given Hobbs went down with injury rather quickly. But while Moxley traded NJPW’s top title for AEW’s, Hobbs only has a bigger chip on his shoulder. Will Hobbs come through on his promise to make Jon Moxley his b*tch? Or will Moxley make sure his homecoming is a victorious one?

The introductions are made, but Moxley delays getting in the ring so that the rest of the Death Riders can flank the ring! Hobbs sees Pac, he sees Claudio, but then Moxley runs in and CLOBBERS Hobbs! The bell rings, the fans boo, but Moxley fires forearms in a corner! Moxley doesn’t stop as the ref counts, the ref tries to back him off, but Moxley gets in the ref’s face about it. Hobbs storms up to hoist Moxley up! OVERHEAD SUPLEX! Hobbs fires hands on Moxley now, the fans fire up, but the ref counts. Hobbs ROCKS Moxley, then stalks him to a corner. Hobbs CLUBS Moxley in the chest, then stalks him to another corner.

Hobbs pushes Moxley against buckles, CLUBS him again, then paces. The fans rally, Hobbs whips, but Moxley KCIKS and CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! Hobbs just scowls, so Moxley fires forearms! Moxley runs, but Hobbs RUNS Moxley over! The fans fire up, but there are some Moxley fans still in Cincy. Hobbs goes out after Moxley and ROCKS him! Moxley dangles over barriers, but Hobbs CLUBS him! The ref wants this in the ring so Hobbs pushes him in. Hobbs storms in, Moxley fires kicks, then fires forearms! Moxley runs, BOOTS Hobbs, and he has Hobbs in the ropes!

Moxley runs, BOOTS Hobbs again, then he runs! Moxley DIVES and hits Hobbs into barriers! Moxley pursues, they go around the timekeeper’s area, and now they brawl in the crowd! The fans fire up, Hobbs CHOPS Moxley, but the ref wants this in the ring! Hobbs pursues Moxley, CLUBS him, then keeps after him. They go back to ringside, Hobbs CLAWS Moxley’s back, then shoves him over barriers! Hobbs stalks Moxley back into the ring, Moxley wants Hobbs to hold on, and then Moxley CLAWS Hobbs’ face! Then he BITES Hobbs’ face! Moxley has Hobbs in a corner and rains down fists! The fans count to TEN, then Moxley flips Hobbs off!

Cincy is all fired up, both for and against Moxley, but Hobbs just glares up at him. Moxley talks trash, but Hobbs carries Moxley from the corner! Moxley fires elbows, but Hobbs RAMS him into buckles! Hobbs puts Moxley up top, climbs up after him, and he pulls on that earring in Moxley’s left ear! Hobbs tells the ref to back off, and then he BITES Moxley’s ear! And then BITES it again! Is he trying to eat the earring?! The ref counts, Hobbs lets off and lets Moxley tumble while fans tell him he’s sick. Moxley staggers up, but Hobbs BLASTS him off the apron! The fans rally while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Hobbs snarls, just a bit of blood in his teeth from biting Moxley. Hobbs paces while Marina Shafir checks on Moxley. Hobbs then goes out the side, storms around the way, and he looms over Moxley. Hobbs whips Moxley into barriers! Moxley tumbles over and into the timekeeper’s area! Hobbs is after Moxley with a rain of fists! The ref reprimands, Hobbs stops and goes back to the ring. Hobbs then goes back out to fetch Moxley. Hobbs BITES the ear again! Moxley pushes Hobbs away and staggers around, that ear definitely bleeding. Hobbs storms up to BITE the ear more! Hobbs is going savage, but Moxley dares him to do more!

Moxley fires a forearm, but Hobbs juts ROCKS Moxley! Moxley staggers away, Hobbs pursues him to the steel steps, and they both go back to the ring. Moxley staggers around a little more, and Hobbs pumps up! Hobbs ROCKS Moxley again! Moxley bounces off ropes then falls over! Hobbs stalks Moxley, drags him up, and he ROCKS Moxley again! Moxley wobbles but stays up, even with that ear bleeding. Moxley fires a forearm, but Hobbs shrugs that off. Moxley fires another forearm, and another, and another! Hobbs ROCKS Moxley again! Moxley falls over, the ref checks him, but Moxley is already rising back up.

Moxley pounds the mat, and he eggs Hobbs on. Hobbs BOOTS Moxley down! Moxley rises, the blood from his ear making more a crimson scarf than a mask. Hobbs BOOTS Moxley again! Moxley roars, so Hobbs BOOTS him again! Maximum Carnage returns to single picture as Moxley rises up. Hobbs BOOTS him, but Moxley SLAPS Hobbs! Hobbs runs, but into a CUTTER! Moxley lured Hobbs into a trap, but both men are down! The fans fire up as Moxley crawls, and Moxley dares Hobbs to bring the fight. Both men stand, Moxley fires a forearm, but Hobbs returns fire! The fans are torn as the forearms go back and forth!

Hobbs runs, Moxley TOSSES him out! Moxley distracts the ref so that Marina can BOOT Hobbs! The fans definitely boo that, but Moxley goes out to drag Hobbs up. Moxley puts Hobbs in, takes aim, and then underhooks Hobbs! Hobbs powers up, breaks free, then CLOBBERS Moxley! Moxley flounders to a corner, the fans rally and duel, and Hobbs feeds off the “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Hobbs runs up to CLOBBER Moxley! Moxley rises, Hobbs LARIATS again! Mox is back up, Hobbs SPLASHES in the corner! Hobbs winds up to fire point-blank LARIATS in the corner again and again! The fans rally, Hobbs stops at the ref’s count.

Hobbs scoops, Moxley slips free! Underhook and- NO, Hobbs scoops Moxley! WORLD’S STRONGEST SLAM!! Cover, TWO!! Moxley survives, Marina is relieved, but Hobbs puts Moxley on the top rope. Hobbs climbs, scoops, and lifts Moxley for a SUPER SWINGING POWERSLAM! But Moxley rolls through to have the ARMBAR!! Moxley pulls on the arm, Hobbs endures, and the fans duel even harder! Moxley pulls but Hobbs manages to clasp hands! Hobbs turns and has the ROPEBREAK! Moxley lets go, but then he has Hobbs for a KIMURA int he ropes! The ref counts, Moxley stops and Hobbs crawls to the ramp.

The fans hope these two “FIGHT FOREVER!” but this show has to end somehow. Hobbs rises, and WHEELER YUTA BUSAIKU KNEES!! The Decoder finally shows himself and it was at the most opportune time! The fans boo as Yuta then slithers away, and Moxley goes out after Hobbs. Moxley drags Hobbs into the ring, then vows to end this! But Hobbs hits a SPINEBUSTER!! The fans fire up and Hobbs brings down the straps! Hobbs snarls, brings Moxley up into a torture rack, but Moxley slips free! SLEEPER! Hobbs goes to the ropes, BUCKS Moxley, but then Marina SMACKS Hobbs with the title briefcase!!

The fans boo again but Moxley rolls Hobbs up! TWO?!?! Hobbs survives another cheap shot and the fans fire up! Moxley underhooks, PARADIGM SHIFT!! Cover, TWO!??! Moxley is furious but he clamps on the BULLY CHOKE!! Hobbs endures, but he fades out! Moxley wins!!

Winner: Jon Moxley, by submission (still AEW World Champion)

Hobbs lost only because this turned into a 5v1 handicap match! And speaking of, that’s what’s happening again as The Death Riders mug Hobbs! They stomp away, then sit Hobbs up. Claudio has a chair! But Hobbs THROWS Yuta, CHOKES Pac, but Claudio CHOP BLOCKS the bad leg! Claudio pulls the leg brace off while Pac & Mox CHOKE Hobbs! Yuta adds stomps, and Moxley SMASHES the bad leg! Claudio puts the chair around the bad leg, they want to put Hobbs back on the shelf! Claudio STOMPS the chair!! But here comes Rated FTR!! A little too late, unfortunately, and The Death Riders retreat.

Adam Copeland, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood check on Hobbs, but there’s a chance the 12 Man Tag just turned into a 6v5 Handicap Match. Will anyone ever be able to stop Moxley’s reign of terror? Or will the carnage not end with Collision?


My Thoughts:

A great episode for AEW, though I’m not sure on their own claim of “It’s like a PPV on TV!” I only say that because we got the usual TV level shenanigans in a few of these matches. Omega VS Cage was a great match for Omega’s return to AEW, but Omega VS Gabe at WrestleDynasty is a hard act to follow. Great win for Omega, but of course The Don Callis Family beats him up. A little surprised they also got the better of Ospreay, but when it was 4v2, that made sense. I’m sure we’ll get Omega & Ospreay against like, Archer & Cage, that’s a win, and then Omega & Ospreay face Kyle & Konosuke. Maybe that’s another win, maybe not, but it feels like they want Omega VS Konosuke for something big, especially while Konosuke is a double champion.

Very good promo from MVP before the Six Man Tag, but did we need a New York Minute with Jericho? Well, I guess it had to happen some time so Jericho could get his digs in on Rated FTR, but maybe it could’ve been after the Six Man Tag? We got that promo and the Mercedes Mone vignette between MVP’s promo and the Six Man Tag and it seemed like an odd choice. Mone’s promo was still good stuff, and an idea of Mone VS Athena is floating around the fandom. I feel like they’d save that closer to All In: Texas, as Athena is from Texas. That’s months from now but I could still see both Mone and Athena having the belts they have now going into that match.

Great Six Man Tag but I figured the Hurt Syndicate would win. And while we got a good promo from all the different Casino Gauntlet entries, I really hope TK isn’t pivoting away from Garcia VS Shelton for the TNT Championship. Granted, Kyle O’Reilly VS Daniel Garcia would make an awesome one-off. Jay White VS Roddy Strong will also be a really good 1v1 match, but I would think White sticks to going after Yuta and the Death Riders. Very good promo from Ricochet, in that he barely got to say anything because of the Heel heat he’s got. Swerve & Nana getting the drop on Ricochet was good stuff, too, but I have no idea why we’re waiting THREE WEEKS for their match when it won’t even be on Grand Slam: Australia or anything.

Okada VS Ishii for Collision is great stuff, but I don’t understand when that promo they showed happened. Did I somehow miss it last Saturday on Collision? Or was that supposed to be part of tonight’s show that they had to trim for time? And I think I can see why they’d have to trim it: MJF and Jeff Jarrett took too damn long to get to the point. Both guys made good points, but they either played to the crowd too much, or Jarrett was searching for the words to insult MJF back. Dustin having a part was good, too, but I don’t see him factoring into the rest of the story.

Great match from Christian VS Hook, and I suppose the disqualification finish protects both sides. Was Joe out that long for injury? It’s the only thing that would explain why Joe never returned to finish things with Jericho while it was still relevant. Now, Joe, Hook & Shibata are feuding with Patriarchy instead Great stuff with the Women’s Casino Gauntlet, such as Megan Bayne making a great return to AEW. Though I’m sure they could’ve added a couple more entrants to beef this up a bit more. Again, maybe time constraints because of MJF and Jarrett. But in the end, what a clever way to get us back to Mariah VS Toni. There’s literally a month left to build this, I can’t wait to see the promos from “new girl” Toni with “veteran” Mariah.

And of course, a great match from Moxley VS Hobbs, especially with Hobbs going for ear blood. But of course The Death Riders got involved all over the place to screw Hobbs out of that win. At least Hobbs still got to look strong surviving as many cheap tactics as he did. But I really hate the trope of a Face rescue that’s “a little too late.” If Rated FTR was here, and they were seeing this happen, why not get out there before Hobbs’ knee gets chair guillotined? I understand them wanting to put the cliche “pressure” on the Faces for Collision, as Hobbs is the strongest part of that team and now he’s far less than 100%, but c’mon. Also, pretty sure The Death Riders will abandon The Learning Tree to have them lose to Rated FTRunners, as they’re above such a mess of a match.

My Score: 8.7/10
