Hangman Page speaks.
The Cowboy paces around while he says, “It’s a shame, it’s a damn shame, when you think about it really, Swerve. The things you could’ve done. At WrestleDream, it took Nana, it took his crown, but you had me beat. You could’ve taken my spot, you could’ve challenged for the world championship, but what you decided to do instead is the biggest mistake you have ever made in your sad, pathetic and meaningless life. Swerve, when you opened the door and crossed the threshold into my home, you stepped into the gates of Hell. And at Full Gear, I take you down. I take you down into the fiery abyss for eternity! Because at Full Gear, you’ve got The Hangman in a TEXAS DEATH MATCH!”
And if Hangman has to give one piece of advice in this next week, take some time to walk around Swerve’s House. Look at every photo on the wall. Look at the pictures of your mom, your dad, your kids, your nephews and nieces, cousins, aunts, uncles. Imagine every single precious moment that you could’ve had with them, from birthdays to proms to weddings to funerals, and know that he will never be there. Not while he can walk. Not while he can talk. Swerve, at Full Gear, Hangman takes you to the bottom of that abyss, leaves you in fire for eternity, and know that every November, Hangman and his son will visit, and piss on Swerve’s grave. And on the tombstone it will ready, “Swerve Strickland: What Could’ve Been.”
The Cowboy isn’t just ready for #CowboyShid, he is ready to end someone’s career! Will Swerve wish he’d never entered Hangman’s house?

So Big Bill, Ricky Starks, at Full Gear, the Kings of the Black Throne are coming for the AEW Tag Team Championships.” Whoa, are we looking at a Triple Threat?
Julia Hart then tells Willow Nightingale and Skye Blue that they keep rejecting her gift. She’s not sure what to make of that. She’s also not sure what to make of Kris Statlander always getting involved. So how about this? Tonight, if Julia beats Willow, Kris has to give her a rematch for the TBS Championship at Full Gear. Will it be true that the House Always Wins?

Tonight is Willow VS Julia, and then next week, Friday Night Collision, Red Velvet VS Skye Blue. What are Kris’ thoughts on this developing title picture? Kris says all she has to say is that she cannot trust Julia. We never know what can happen with her. But if anyone deserves a shot at the title, it’s Willow.

As far as Skye VS Red, no comment from the champ. Willow says she’ll handle her business. Full Gear here we come! Will the 2023 Queen of Harts be able to trump Julia Hart and earn her spot in that Triple Threat?

Pac and Jamie Hayter are examples shown, but Tony says that top of that list is Bryan. But Tony is very excited that All In London 2024 all coincides with Bryan’s homestretch. He WILL be at AEW All In 2024! Bryan couldn’t be more excited, either. He had to watch the show at home, but even then he felt the energy.

But there’s still a lot of wrestling left in 2023, and Tony Khan is also announcing the inaugural Continental Classic! It is a round robin tournament, just as fans have wanted to see, where 12 of AEW’s best compete weekly across North America. The tournament kicks off November 22 in Chicago, and continuing into Collision and Rampage for Thanksgiving Weekend in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Then they’re going to Minneapolis, Minnesota, and to Erie, Pennsylvania, and Montreal, Quebec, a return to Texas, and then Oklahoma City, San Antonio, and finally, the sixth and final week, Orlando, Florida, December 27th! Then AEW Worlds End, December 30th, we crown THE Continental Classic Champion on PPV! And against all odds, even with this start just weeks away, it is official! The first man in the Continental Classic will be… BRYAN DANIELSON! Bryan says he may not look ready, but this is the kind of tournament he has wanted to do his entire career. And no better place to do it than in AEW, with the best wrestlers in the world and Tony Khan booking the shows!
There is NOTHING that will stop Bryan from coming back and being int he Continental Classic! They’re all fired up to put on the best wrestling tournament EVER! Who else will join Bryan in that 12 man tournament? Who will make it to the end that is Worlds End?

Bill agrees, they don’t wanna see these teams, they don’t wanna talk to these teams, or ever get in ring with them. You come up to them at the coffee bar in catering, make small talk, the champs will skedaddle. So just don’t, okay? They don’t wanna talk or see any of them ever, and sure as hell aren’t wrestling them.
But uh, funny thing is, Tony Khan has now made it a Fatal 4 Way for Full Gear. WHAT!? How does she know that before them!? This is so ridiculous! This is a situation they will have to handle off camera. But that’s so funny that everyone else knows before Ricky & Bill. Story of their lives! But just like how this seems to open every chapter of their lives, they know how to finish the story. And it will end with Ricky & Bill still the AEW World Tag Team Championships. You can have friendship for 10, 20 YEARS, it does not matter when it comes to the two baddest dudes here in this company coming together to be the longest reigning tag team champions ever!
The Absolute & The Human Skyscraper are ready, even with the odds stacked against them. Will they use those odds against the other teams to stand tall at the end of Full Gear?
“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs w/ The Don Callis Family VS ?
The Giant, Paul Wight, is on commentary for this one given the 8 Man Street Fight that’s coming on Dynamite. Will Wight see with his own eyes just how dangerous the Book of Hobbs can be? Or will it still not measure up to the Big Show?
The bell rings and Hobbs immediately SPLASHES ? in the corner! ? falls over, Hobbs hauls him up and scoops, to put him on the top rope. Hobbs CLUBS away, with both hands! Then he shoves ? down and tells Wight to pay attention. Hobbs says this is what Wight used to be! Wight laughs that off, and then Hobbs turns around, into a DORPKICK! ? runs, but Hobbs SPINEBUSTERS him down for it! Hobbs scoops, for the WORLD’S STRONGEST SLAM!! Cover, Hobbs wins!
Winner: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, by pinfall
Wight says you may not like Don Callis, which Wight doesn’t, but Hobbs is impressive. But Wight has been in the ring with an Animal, a Viper, a Texas Rattlesnake, and a guy you can’t even see. Hobbs has no idea what he’s in store for.
But then Callis gets the mic and he says, “I have one thing to say.” Wight doubts that. Callis says that “the Don Callis Family is the greatest family in the history of professional wrestling! Greater than the Briscoes! Greater than the Gagnes! Greater than the Von Erichs! And bigger than The Harts! In just a few short days, the Family will be involved in the Like a Dragon Street Fight on Dynamite. Give ya a history lesson: not too long ago, Will Hobbs BROKE Chris Jericho!
“So what’d Jericho do? Like the bloodsucking, narcissistic sociopath that he is, Jericho found the last friend he had after I deserted him! And he picked up the phone and he called the last friend he could call! Who just happens to be the biggest man in professional wrestling, Mr. Paul Wight. And Paul Wight is a stand-up guy, so when Chris called, I’m sure Paul, you said, ‘Anything you need, my friend.'” Wight confirms that is true. Callis says knowing Wight, he might’ve won the genetic lottery when it comes to physical size, no doubt about it. But Callis is sure he got shortchanged in the brain department.
“Because only a blithering idiot would face the Don Callis Family after what we’ve done to Jericho, Omega and Ibushi. Much less in a Like a Dragon Street Fight. But Paul, you’re a smart guy. It’s not too late. You can still change your mind. You and I both know what Jericho is: he’s a wood tick. He’s a narcissistic psychopath, he’s gonna use you like he tried to use me! So Paul… If I can be serious just for a minute…” He and Hobbs exit the ring. Callis says Paul is smart and Callis is a big fan. IT’s not too late to pull the pin and leave Jericho hanging. Nothing? Wow, Callis saw something he never thought he’d see: a scared giant.
It’s okay to be scared of them, because they run things here! Maybe Callis will do something here. He buried two giants in his career, and Hobbs can do a third. “Hobbs, smoke this fool!!” Schiavone and Nigel get aside, but then Wight tosses the table at Hobbs! Both big men dare the other to do something, but then Callis and Kyle Fletcher have Hobbs stand down. There’s no backing down, no backing out. Will both teams tear the Toyota Arena down just days before Full Gear?
Backstage interview with FTR.
Lexi is with the Top Guys and says they’ve been on quite the roll. Last week’s Collision 8 Man Tag, and then last night on Rampage’s main event. But then House of Black did have to interrupt things. How have they been doing? Cash says yes, they have been on a roll. But don’t forget that LFI then left them to get beat down. Don’t forget that “Lil’ Rick” and Big Bill took advantage of injured FTR to take those tag titles. Don’t forget that the House again sticks their noses in FTR’s business, and that doesn’t sit well with FTR.
Dax adds that ten time world tag team champions, #7StarFTR, there’s only one of them. But it doesn’t matter about the distractions, their one goal, their one focus, is to again be AEW World Tag Team Champions. So it doesn’t matter if it’s LFI, it doesn’t matter if it’s House of Black, FTR’s road to the titles for a third time starts now. #TopGuysOut.

Winners: Darby Allin, Sting & Adam “Edge” Copeland, by pinfall
This was a wild match before the PPV, and it will only get wilder at Full Gear! But speaking of that match, here come Christian Cage, Luchasaurus & Nick Wayne! Captain Charisma, His Right Hand of Destruction and his honorary son stare down Edge, Sting & Darby, and then the TNT Champion raises his title up. Will the self-proclaimed Father of the Year lead his family to victory? Or will they all face the consequences at the hands of those they betrayed?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here with a lot added to Full Gear. Just as I was sensing last night on Rampage, there was a big tag title match in the works and here it is, it will be a Fatal 4 Way! LFI had a really good match with Workhorsemen to get a good win, and then House of Black calls LFI out like they did FTR last night. Great promo from Starks & Bill to set up that match, and a Fatal 4 is a great way to get the titles off Starks & Bill without really hurting Starks & Bill, but also a great way to keep the titles on Starks & Bill without making any of the other teams look bad.
And they are also putting the TBS Championship on Full Gear, as I was hoping last night, so that’s great. Julia VS Willow was a great match, though something felt off about how they did the finish. Julia winning does still make sense, but maybe her falling on her butt to get out of the bomb was a botch. And with Skye Blue VS Red Velvet being next, it is definitely going to be Skye getting into the Triple Threat so that Skye can settle things with Julia while also addressing this thing where she’s no longer Kris’s friend. Much like with the tag title Fatal 4, this Triple Threat is a great way to take the title off Kris without hurting her. And I keep it at that because it feels like someone, whether it’s Skye or Julia, is going to get that title off Kris in order to escalate this story.
Great opening match from Andrade VS Garcia, and as they did last week, they used the opening promos to help segue into the match. Andrade of course wins and has CJ as his manager, which brings this around to Miro VS Andrade, as I figured because that’s logical. Great match from Strong VS Darius, and I appreciate that while he’s Heel, Strong didn’t cheat to win. And then Kingdom does the Heel stuff by beating up on Darius, bringing Action out, and we’re probably getting a rematch of Kingdom VS Darius & Action, maybe even on the Full Gear Zero Hour. As I said last night, maybe, just maybe, Roddy & The Kingdom have been The Devil and his thugs, but I bet The Devil’s identity is exposed at Full Gear one way or another.
Good stuff from the Don Callis Family, and I even liked how we just never got that jobber’s name. Callis has a good promo to call out Wight, great confrontation between Hobbs and Wight, and that 8 Man Street Fight is going to be wild. Though really, it should be thought of as 4v5 because Callis will still get involved when there’s no rules stopping him. Maybe someone helps on Kenny Omega’s side to counter Callis. And then a really good, really aggressive promo from Hangman, with him upping the ante for his rematch with Swerve, just as I’d hoped. Texas Deathmatch seems to be the go-to what with Ricky Starks and Bryan Danielson doing one not too long ago.
Speaking of which, good promo from Bryan and Tony Khan to set up AEW’s round robin answer to NJPW’s G1 Climax. Bryan better be careful, though, he still has to make it through 2023. Plus, he wants to face Okada at WrestleKingdom, he can’t go and get hurt again to put that match off. Great stuff out of Castle VS Wayne, with Castle looking great but only losing because of Christian & Luchasaurus being distractions at ringside. Castle is great so it’s good he got to look great, even when being cheated.
And an awesome Six Man main event, though it felt like it dragged on a bit. Naturally, the Faces won, and naturally, Christian and his team came out for a final stare down, even with another Collision before Full Gear next Friday. As it stands, I’m pretty sure Nick Wayne takes the loss for the Heels, and it feels like Edge will be the one getting the pin on him. Then we can have this turn into Edge VS Christian, probably for the TNT Championship at Worlds End. And with some time before The Continental Classic, I bet the win at Full Gear helps Darby get a spot in that so he can also be part of that wild six week tournament.
My Score: 8.8/10

Or will these high-fliers really cash in here tonight?

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.

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

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

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

The fans fire up and Hobbs smirks. Hobbs stands Konosuke up to scoop him, and then he tags in Rocky. Rocky climbs, Hobbs POWERSLAMS Konosuke down for Rocky to DIVING DOUBLE STOMP! Konosuke sputters while Rocky gives some Azucar Heat. Rocky runs to DIVE, but Cage catches him! And hands him off to Konosuke! APRON POWERBOMB! Cage CLOBBERS Briscoe, Archer whips Hobbs into railing!
The fans boo, the Callis Family soaks up that heat, and Collision goes picture in picture.
The ring count starts, Archer talks smack tot he camera that we can’t hear, but Konosuke puts Rocky in the ring. Cover, TWO! Rocky survives but Konosuke drags him up. Konosuke bumps Rocky off buckles, tags Cage, and they stomp away. The ref counts, Konosuke stops but Cage digs his boots in. The ref counts more, Cage stops at 4, then Cage stands Rocky up.

Archer hits buckles, staggers around, and he tags to Konosuke. Konosuke drops an ELBOW on Rocky! Konosuke looms over Rocky, CLUBS him, and then brings him around. Konosuke whips Rocky hard into buckles and Rocky falls to the mat. Konosuke looms as Slam Dunk Saturday returns to single picture.

Rocky fires another forearm, and another, but Konosuke SMACKS Rocky! Rocky roars and fires a flurry! The fans fire up but Konosuke fires boxing elbows! Then a ROLLING- UPPERCUT from Rocky!

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