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!

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…

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

Lio Rush speaks.
“You don’t think that I see what’s going on around here? You don’t think that i feel it? There’s a shift happening. And we’re all a part of it. You see, there’s a reoccurring theme with me being All Elite again, and it’s that my past is creeping up on me, forcing to make a decision. Which is why I’ve held on to this.” The card from MVP! This is a golden ticket. What this is is a decision that he must make with people who like conducting business in a way he used to agree with. MVP, Shelton Benjamin, and his guy, Bobby Lashley. If you’ve been paying attention, you saw Lio beat Ariya Daivari last week and Lio beat Komander on Rampage.
Lio is here tonight, ready to be on fire. He feels great, but wants to feel greater. He wants to feel alive again! Which is why on Dynamite, Lio is calling out Swerve! Knock knock, open up> The Man of the Hour is back around. Lio smiles, but will he regret visiting Swerve’s House?

Where are your balls?” Because they’re dealing with- The Hurt Syndicate steps in!
Montel Vontavious Porter shakes his head and can’t believe Caster’s going on about balls and scissoring. What is wrong with him? How long has it been since they’ve held championships? Don’t they wanna be taken serious? Look at Caster’s father, an all pro NFL Super Bowl champion! Caster saw that big shiny ring growing up, so doesn’t he want the big shiny belt? Bowens says ENOUGH! MVP has Lashley & Shelton stand down. Bowens tells them that just because Billy Gunn isn’t here, doesn’t mean they can say whatever they want to The Acclaimed. And secondly, they aren’t interested. Bowens goes but MVP says he knows Caster still has the card.
Caster leaves, and MVP tells Shelton that they can’t just kill everybody. Shelton asks why not. Lashley says at least hit them in the mouth. But will The Hurt Syndicate soon be adding some platinum to the mix?

Mariah May speaks.
“I hate women’s wrestling. I really do. It never used to be this way. I was all for ‘hot girl graps’ and ‘women supporting women.’ ‘We’re all in this together, let’s make history!’ And then I won this title. And I realized I am surrounded by the weakest, saddest, most pathetic little s*its I have ever seen. They’re either dead, injured, beaten, sick, or can’t even look me in the eyes. Because they know the truth. I am not in this women’s division. These women are in my division. And if I was them, I would thank me for standing on their necks. My prime is being wasted because no one can touch me. It’s so lonely being the only.
“Years from now, people will wonder, ‘Who killed women’s wrestling?’ Yes, it was me. I did it.” The Glamour is arrogant as always, but is she going to regret growing her ego so big and so fast?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Lexy Nair is with the Queenslayer and brings up what Mariah just said because clearly, Anna is not happy. Anna tells Mariah that while she thinks “no one can touch you,” Anna did more than that. She slapped Mariah, kicked Mariah, and even beaten Mariah! And next time, she will choke Mariah out until she pisses herself! Anna is the only woman who has pinned Mariah since Mariah won at All In. So now, Anna is going all in. Mariah VS Anna, Round 3, NO DISQUALIFICATIONS! And if Anna loses this time, she will never challenge Mariah for the title again. Every woman here wants the title and Mariah’s head. On Dynamite, Anna drops Mariah to bring home both. #JustTryMe.
Mariah’s insults have incensed Anna, will Anna finally become The Star of the Show?

They’re to show no mercy on anyone! Roddy is not your friend! He is not your familia! LFI is all that! So forget the Kingdom! They have a grand opportunity next week! Show him who you are! Mortos is riled up again, and Jake says some people, you just don’t piss off. LFI are those people. And Acclaimed, you’re just a bunch of squirrels playing around, trying to find a nut. No nuts here, you’ll get more than you can handle.
And remember one thing and one thing only: If you mess with the bull, you get the horns! Will Mortos & Dralistico destroy the hopes of Caster & Bowens without a second thought? Or will they get hit with that Mic Drop?
AEW TNT Championship: Jack Perry VS Action Andretti!
With The Young Bucks abandoning The Elite, The Scapegoat has put it on himself to push his twisted idea of progress forward. He has Daniel Garcia breathing down his throat, yet he goes to Lowell, Massachusetts just to call out Yota Tsuji. And now, he put this open challenge out, only for it to be answered in an instant.

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

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

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

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

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

Then, ahead of facing FTR on Dynamite, The House of Black is back in trios action! Will The Iron Savages meet the end at the hands of Brody, Buddy & Malakai? Plus, Kris Statlander survived the vehicular manslaughter attempt from Kamille & Mercedes Mone, and she’ll be back in action already! Will the #BornAgainKristen show nothing can keep her down?
Speaking of action, Action Andretti is looking for redemption of his own as he accepts Jack Perry’s TNT Championship Open Challenge! Will the Sight to See becoming the Face of TNT? Or will he just be a sacrifice for “the greater good?”

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