Matt & Jeff team with Chuck & Trent in Stockton to take on the former Jericho Appreciation Society! Will they DELETE the opposition and then group hug? Or will Daddy Magic, Cool Hand Ange, The Dragon Slayer and the Big Hurt show the true power of sports… enner-tay-ners?

The teams sort out and Parker starts against the Kentucky Gentleman. They tie up, go around, and Chuck headlocks. Parker powers out but Chuck pulls Parker’s hair!

Menard drops an elbow, then drops another! Menard soaks up the cheers and jeers and Parker “kicks rocks” at Jeff. Hager tags in, he stomps Jeff, then drags Jeff up to facelock. Fans rally for the Hardys but Hager tags Garcia so they can mug Jeff.

Garcia stomps Jeff, whips him to ropes, but Jeff reverses to CLOBBER Garcia! Fans fire up while both men are down, hot tag to Trent!

The Hardys and Best Friends have the X-JAS all in corners, so they all go up! Matt gives Hager “DELETE! DELETE! DELETE!” buckle bumps while Trent and Jeff rain down fists and Chuck stomps a mudhole! They go all the way to a fan count of TEN, then they all whip! The X-JAS crash and the Hardys clothesline Hager out of the ring! Fans fire up as the Hardys and Best Friends bring it in to HUG! You GOT to give the people what they want! Chuck DECKS Garcia, Trent goes up and he MOONSAULTS onto Menard & Parker! But Hager CLOBBERS Trent!

Winners: The Hardy Boyz & Best Friends, by pinfall

Garcia was left to fend for himself while the others checked on Anna, and now they all lose! Will the X-JAS be lost without their guiding star? As for the Hardys and Best Friends, will both these teams climb up the ranks to head for some tag title opportunities?

Backstage interview with Eddie Kingston.

Renee Paquette is with the double champion Mad King, and says we heard from Stokely Hathaway about tonight’s Fatal 4 Way Contender’s match to determine Eddie’s next challenger for the ROH World Championship. He’ll be on commentary for it, what is he expecting? “I’m expecting those four dudes to wild out and try to get this championship. Y’know what I mean? It ain’t no problem. I gotta defend this, and I gotta defend the NJPW Strong Openweight Championship in Vegas against Henare, so I’m ready to go. Any time, any place.”

But then in walks Team Triple J. Sonjay Dutt congratulates the double champ, but says after last week, when Eddie disrespected Sonjay’s best friend, Jay Lethal, Lethal called the team and said he is not coming to work. Lethal is not gonna even look at Eddie, so Sonjay will talk for him. Eddie disrespected a former ROH World Champion, a former ROH TV Champion, a former ROH Tag Team Champion, and a former ROH Grand Slam Champion! How dare you, you stupid… No, Sonjay won’t go there. But they just want to know this: Is Eddie going to put the ROH World title up against Jay Lethal?

Jeff Jarrett says, “Yeah, Eddie Kingston! Are you gonna man up, pahtna, and do the right thing?” Eddie laughs. First, don’t talk about the right thing. Double J’s never done the right thing once in his career, Eddie’s heard the stories. Karen says that is not necessary but Eddie says yet it is. And Satnam, man, stop breathing on him. Good? Good. But here’s the deal: Eddie will defend the ROH World title against Lethal, when Lethal proves himself that he is still the same Lethal, and not some clown that is running around with this carny SOB. Got it? So once again, excuse his back, pahtna. Talk to you later, Renee.

Eddie heads out, and Stokely walks in. “With all due disrespect, I hate to interrupt, I don’t like you, I don’t like you, I don’t like you, and I’m not a milk man so I really don’t like you (Karen).” BUT, Stokely has an interesting proposition. He whispers something to Sonjay, and Sonjay is happily surprised! Is that real? Yeah, Stoke’s got them! This is gonna be good. Jarrett says nothing is ever good from Stokely. And don’t touch their giant, okay? But just what did Big Stoke tell Sonjay that got him back in a good mood? Will Jay Lethal get the title match he wants?

AEW hears from Danhausen!

He has a jingle set to London Bridge is Falling Down! “Very, very, very nice, very nice, very nice. Very, very, very nice, ve-ry e-vil~! He’s nice. He’s evil. He’s coming back soon.” When and where will the return of the Overlord return to AEW?

Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta VS Levi Shapiro & Wise Guy Ruiz!

The Swiss Superman bested the Warmaster but the Decoder could not defeat The Absolute. But the Blackpool Combat Club never settles, they just keep going! Will they do that here together on Rampage?

The teams sort out and Yuta starts against Levi. They tie up, Yuta wrenches and wrangles Levi then chinbars. Levi stays up so Yuta steps over to IRON OCTOPUS! The tribute to Inoki continues from Sunday but Levi endures. Yuta shifts to a facelock but Levi fights his way to the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Yuta lets off, and Yuta slaps Levi around. Fans boo but Levi shoves back! Levi ROCKS Yuta, ROCKS him again, then swings, but Yuta dodges to fire off hands and CHOPS! Yuta CHOPS Levi down, then shouts at him! Fans are torn but Yuta clinches. Levi powers out, swings, but into the PAINTHRILLER!

Fans fire up and Yuta drags Levi over, tag to Claudio. Claudio wrenches an arm, whips Levi to ropes, but Levi KICKS back! Claudio CLOBBERS Levi! Claudio sits Levi up for HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! Ruiz BOOTS Claudio, but that just angers Claudio! Ruiz BOOTS, so Claudio tells Yuta to hand this wise guy. Yuta runs in to BOOT Ruiz down and stomps away in the corner! Fans fire up as Claudio calls for it, GIANT SWING for Levi! Yuta waits for Levi to pick up speed at about the count of TEN, before he DROPKICKS Levi outta the swing! Claudio BLASTS Ruiz off the apron, drags Levi into position, and tags Yuta!

Yuta goes up, Claudio gives him a boost, FASTBALL SPECIAL!! Cover, BCC wins!

Winners: Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta, by pinfall

The BCC dominates, but again, they will not settle. Will they fight all the way until they have gold again?

Backstage interview with the X-JAS.

Renee is with Anna, Menard, Parker, Hager & Garcia and says that was a rough loss for them. What exactly went wrong out there? Garcia says it went wrong when he bumped into Menard who bumped into Anna and then Garcia tried to get it done all by himself. Obviously he can’t get the win all by himself against Hardys & Best Friends, but then Menard cuts him off. Did Garcia really just say he tried to handle things on his own? Is that so? Menard says “I DON’T THINK SO!” What about Garcia too concerned with dancing? What is this, a disco tec? Try to win the match!

Parker calms them down and says that not too long ago, they all took a stand together. Tonight was about going out there and proving they made the right decision. They failed, but they failed as a family. So now, they get Anna checked out as a family. Alright? Let’s go. Parker leads the way, Garcia wants Menard to understand where he’s coming from, but then Hager also throws a cold stare Garcia’s way. Will the X-JAS hold together when it’s all on them?

ROH World Championship #1 Contender’s Fatal 4 Way: Johnny TV w/ Harley Cameron & Aaron Solo VS Penta El Zero Miedo VS Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes VS Lince Dorado!

The Mad King is already on commentary, and is already voting for his best pal, Penta. But will #CeroMiedo help Penta get past the Guru of Greatness, the Commander of Lucha, and the new-to-AEW Golden Lynx?

Oh no, Harley Cameron is here to do Johnny’s intro… But Abrahantes also accompanies Komander, so will the Hype Man be able to equally cheer both luchadores in his stable? The bell rings, the four circle, and fans chant for “LUCHA LIBRE!” Team TV cheers Johnny as he crank dat. But Penta steps up to say, “Listen! CERO! MIEDO!” He pie faces Johnny, then Komander SUPERKICKS Johnny down! Lince SUPERKICKS Komander, but Penta SUPERKICKS Lince! Johnny is up, swings, misses, and Penta SLINGBLADES! Penta keeps going, but Johnny avoids another slingblade to LEG LARIAT!

Penta ducks the shining wizard, arm-drags but then Johnny arm-drags! Both men kip up and fans fire up! Eddie likes that, but then Lince & Komander DOUBLE DROPKICK! These two coordinate, and they DOUBLE TOPE to take out Penta & Johnny at the ramp! Lince and Komander get in, stare down, and fans rally for “LUCHA LIBRE!” Lince blocks a chop but then so does Komander. They knuckle lock, Lince monkey flips but then Komander blocks the cover. Komander jumps up to MONKEY FLIP but Lince lands on his feet! Fans fire up and Lince cleans himself, rawr. Things speed up, Lince trips Komander to then stand him up.

Lince whips, Komander reverses but Lince RANAS! Komander tumbles, runs back in but Lince side steps to then scoop and BACKBREAKER! Fans fire up and Lince builds speed, but Aaron Solo holds the ropes down! Lince tumbles but lands on his feet, swings on Solo but he dodges, and Johnny BOOTS Lince down! Johnny rolls in, fans boo but he builds speed, only for Penta to GAMANGIRI! Penta SUPERKICKS Komander, goes up a corner, and he CROSSBODIES! Johnny staggers up, into a SUPERKICK! Penta swaggers, runs in, but into a SUPERKICK! Penta swings, Johnny ducks and Alabama Lifts!

Penta reaches out and grabs ropes, but Johnny pulls him away, only for Penta to hit a DESTROYER!! Johnny bails out, Solo is there, and Komander runs in. Penta throws Komander up and over but Komander lands safe on the apron. Penta GAMANGIRIS Komander down! Lince slingshots in but Penta goes up and over! Lince is outside with everyone else and Penta FLIES! Penta takes out everyone, except Johnny! Johnny CLOBBERS Penta! Fans boo while Johnny looms over Penta, and Rampage goes picture in picture.

Johnny FLAPJACKS Penta off railing! Johnny then KICKS Lince down, stomps Komander around, and Johnny stalks Komander to kick him more. Johnny ROCKS Komander, BOOTS him down, then stalks him. Komander stands and Johnny whips him into railing! But Lince ROCKS Johnny! Lince pushes Johnny in the ring but Johnny kicks low and TOSSES Lince back out. But Penta returns and stares Johnny down. Penta CHOPS, then eggs Johnny on. Johnny winds up, to poke Penta in the eye! The ref reprimands and Penta writhes but Johnny smirks as he kicks Penta back out. Johnny paces, considers his options, and kicks Lince down.

Johnny also kicks Komander down, then waits on someone to get up. Johnny goes to fetch Lince, and SMACKS him off the railing! Then Johnny FLAPJACKS Lince off the apron! Johnny SLAMS Komander down on the floor! Johnny goes around the way, and he KNEES Penta down as Rampage goes to break!

Rampage returns and Johnny HOOK KICKS, low kicks, and reels Penta in, MOONLIGHT DRIVE! Penta flounders away and Lince attacks! Johnny hauls Lince up to atomic drop! Then a fireman’s carry, to a SAMOAN POP! Johnny soaks up the heat before he STANDING MOONSAULTS! Cover, but Komander breaks it! Komander eggs Johnny on, kicks him, throws hands, then throws body shots. Komander whips, Johnny reverses and gut wrenches to a Canadian Rack! Then a swing and POWERSLAM! Johnny drags Komander to a drop zone, and he goes to the corner, but Komander rolls him up! Johnny RAMS Komander to the corner!

Johnny puts Komander up top, ROCKS him, then climbs up after him. Komander CLUBS away on Johnny, HEADBUTTS him down, and fans fire up! Komander stands but Lince anchors him! Lince climbs up to join Komander, and Lince SUPER STEINERS Komander, and then Komander DRAGON RANAS Johnny!! Fans are thunderous for this double rana combo! But then Lince FLAPJACKS and SUPERKICKS Komander! Penta SUPERKICKS Lince! Penta whips, Lince reverses but Penta holds ropes. Lince runs up to RANA Penta out! Lince goes up top to ARIHARA MOONSAULT Penta and Johnny!

Fans are thunderous and Komander is on a corner! Komander tightrope walks to MOONSAULT them all down!! Fans are thunderous again as Komander puts Lince in! Another tightrope walk, 450 SPLASH!! KOMANDER WINS!!

Winner: Komander, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the ROH World Championship)

Eddie knows now that he is going to face the AAA World Cruiserweight Champion! Will Komander make himself into a double champion? Or will The Mad King hold on to both his crowns?

Ortiz speaks.

“I didn’t think you could surprise me anymore. But yet here we are. I was supposed to do this eye to eye, right? Like a man. Like something you claim to be, a man. Yet here we are. You said no, and just went home in protest. Some tough guy you are. I’m right here, standing. Still standing. And where are you? But y’know what? Here’s the truth. You’re still that sad little kid in that staircase on Avenue B projects, crying after a fight you caused. This tough guy persona that you claim to have. This thug, this gangster, is a defense mechanism for that fragile little kid that you are on the inside. Because if you were a man, you’d be standing right here, looking me in my eyes, taking it in.

“But you always run from the truth. And y’know what makes me think? That people look up to us. People like us don’t achieve heights like this very often. And when they do, they celebrate. There’s people that look up to you as a role model and an idol, and you spit on them. You spit on me. Because you’re not who you claim to be. And I’m gonna expose you. Karma took your one knee, I’m gonna take your other one.” Ortiz has sent his ultimatum to Santana, how will he respond?

BREAKING NEWS for Collision!

On top of FTR defending the AEW World Tag Team Championships against Ricky Starks & “Big Bill” Morrissey, Adam Copeland will make his Collision debut to respond to Christian Cage’s rejection! Plus, with Komander winning the #1 contender’s match tonight, he is going right after Eddie Kingston’s ROH World Championship! Will Komander change Jay Lethal’s plans for who he challenges? And then “Timeless” Toni Storm faces Kiera Hogan and Bryan Danielson faces Kyle Fletcher all ahead of #TitleTuesday! And speaking of…

The Samurai just sent a message to The Knight ahead of them clashing swords over the AEW Women’s World Championship! Will Shida be shining as a historic THREE-TIME champion? Or will Saraya keep AEW as her house?

My Thoughts:

A really good Rampage but only so much follow-up from WrestleDream. The 8 Man Tag was a really fun opening match, and I do like that it plays into the story of the X-JAS with that dysfunction that cost them. It is some interesting stuff that only now are Garcia’s sports entertainer antics getting on Menard’s nerves when the JAS was all about being sports… enner-tay-ners. Now, that said promo might shoot this idea down, but what if the X-JAS were the four men who helped Devil Mask Man beat up Jay White? Why would that be? Because the man in the devil mask could be… JACK PERRY.

Perry is gonna be back off suspension at some point now that CM Punk is gone, and Perry is still dating Anna Jay, who is attached to the X-JAS. And they could go from Jericho Appreciation Society to the Jack Perry Society or something like that. And it’d be Perry sticking it to MJF over that Young Pillars Fatal 4 story. Hell, Perry could use the line MJF took from CM Punk, sticking it to both of them with “The greatest trick the devil ever pulled” etc. It’d give Perry something to do, it’d give Anna and the rest of X-JAS something to do, it could lead things to them feuding with MJF eventually. Probably not gonna happen, but would be fun, right?

Good little squash tag for Claudio & Yuta but it was just kinda so Yuta could have his rebound win from WrestleDream without hurting some other established name. Awesome Fatal 4 Way, you can’t go wrong with any of the four they went with, and in a very surprising move, it was Komander who won, not Johnny like I thought. That ROH title match already happening is a surprise but I guess with Triple J doing a promo on Lethal’s behalf is a sign that Eddie VS Lethal is going to be a big match for either Full Gear or ROH Final Battle. It should be the latter because A) Eddie just said Lethal needs to earn the shot and B) ROH titles need to be on ROH programming! It was literally just Athena as the ONE champion on ROH TV this week because Tony Khan’s put the other belts on AEW guys!

And then really good tag match but it was also just a tune-up match for Shida going into Tuesday. I do like how Nyla was really making a case for going after the TBS Championship by focusing so hard on Kris. But Shida finishing this off by using Saraya’s finisher was a nice touch. I don’t see Saraya losing the title on TV, and I don’t see Shida making history by becoming a three-time AEW Women’s World Champion on TV, but they could and should put on a PPV level match to make Title Tuesday special.

My Score: 8.6/10

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!

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!

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-

NO, Mortos stops the ride to chicken wing Hologram! But Hologram victory rolls through, TWO! Mortos has it, TWO! Both men stand, Hologram rolls Mortos but Mortos powers through to a cover, ONE! They both stand, Mortos HEADBUTTS Hologram down! The fans fire up, then Mortos runs to sunset flip! Hologram rolls through, Komander tags in, and Komander springboards to SPLASH! Komander bounces off the cover, comes back and tilt-o-whirl RANAAS! Mortos flounders away, Dralistico tags in. Mortos BOOTS Komander, Dralistico springboards but Komander dodges. Komander shoves, then he pops Dralistico up, but Dralistico DROPKICKS!

Dralistico runs back in, ducks ‘n ‘dodges to SHOULDER TACKLE! The fans fire up and Harley says this is “Luchamazing!” Dralistico fires up, runs up, but Komander blocks! Komander kicks Dralistico again and again, then goes up the corner! DOUBLE BOUNCE ARABIAN PRESS ARM-DRAG! The fans fire up as Komander then KICKS, SOBATS, and winds up. Komander runs to jump, spin, and wheelbarrow for the arm-drag! Komander fires up, the fans fire up, but Harley says she has to go now? Harley needs to call her friend. Harley says she forgot, but she’s gotta go, she’ll be back. Harley hops off commentary, who is she going to call?

Komander puts Dralistico on the apron but Dralistico mule kicks Hologram! Dralistico dodges Komander’s tiger feint kick, and Komander ends up on the apron. Mortos runs up, but Komander GAMANGIRIS! Dralistico is there to FLYING RANA Komander to the floor! Mortos TOPE TORNILLOS! Down goes Hologram and the fans fire up! Fans lose their minds, Harley scampers off, and Collision goes picture in picture.

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. Dralistico then drags Komander up, brings him around, and whips him to ropes. Dralistico ELBOWS Komander down, tags in Mortos, and Mortos fires up. Mortos NECK TWISTS Komander! Cover, TWO! 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!

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.
