Ricky, Bill, we’re coming for you.” Dax Harwood adds, “And it’s commonplace to have to watch our backs now. Whether it’s Ricky & Bill, House of Black, Gates of Agony, or even you, LFI. Tonight’s a good night for a fight, see you in the main event. Top Guy, out.”
“Big Bill” & Ricky Stars speaks.
The Human Skyscraper says, “Ricky Starks, Gates of Agony, Big Bill going up against LFI and FTR. Or, no, FTR and LFI. LFR and FTI?

The Mogul Embassy speaks.
Prince Nana does his dance as he says, “Saturday night’s alright for fighting, my friends.” Swerve Strickland says he and the Mogul Embassy have some unfinished business to- AR FOX ATTACKS! Fox is going to settle that score with Swerve now! And he RAMS Swerve into road cases, then kicks him through the curtains to gorilla position!

Winner: Swerve Strickland, by pinfall
The fake out from bomb to slam set Fox up for the Killshot, but now the Gates are closing in. But here comes FTR! Just because their match is in the main event doesn’t mean they’ll let the Gates do what they want! FTR brawls with Kaun & Liona now! Fans fire up for FTR but this is still 3v2! But then Fox gets up, now it’s 3v3! And now Ricky & Bill show up! They turn things into 5v3! The AEW World Tag Team Champions mug Cash, CHOKE him, but wait! Here comes LFI! Rush, Vance & Dralistico are here, things are now 6v5 in favor of the ungovernable! Fans fire up as The Mogul Embassy and the AEW World Tag Team Champions are in retreat!
FTR offer handshakes to thank LFI for the help, but LFI just leave. These forces will still collide in the main event, but we see the House of Black watching from the upper deck. Will Malakai, Brody & Buddy pick the bones of whatever side survives tonight?
MJF speaks.
“Danny Garcia. Y’know, I’m honestly glad you called me out, because these days in All Elite Wrestling, a lot of old men talk in a young man’s body. This company was built upon young revolutionaries who wanted to make a change. I look forward to wrestling you for the AEW World Championship.” That match is set for this Wednesday Night Dynamite, but MJF wants to know: Is he getting Danny Garcia? Or is he getting a sports entertainer? The title is on the line, even with the physical belt still in Jay White’s possession! Will Dragonslayer become Demonslayer and take MJF’s place at Full Gear? Or will Garcia end up an appetizer?
AEW shares footage from after Dynamite.
After the main event last Wednesday, MJF sat down to sarcastically applaud and “congratulate” Jay White on pinning him. “It only took every single person in your entire stable to catch me off guard so you could hit me with your finisher! My God, Jay White, you’re so talented! You’re so talented! Y’know what I think, Jay White? I think you’ve been in this sport twice as long as me, and you are twice as stupid! Do you actually think you’re on my level because you pinned me?! Because you stole my belt!? You are a pretender! You’re an actor! I’M THE STAR! I make YOU famous!
“Go on Google Trends, dips*it, type in your name, then type in mine! And see what happens! You’re a straight line, I’m a pyramid! Because I’m at the tippy top of this sport! I’m at the pinnacle! You’re a nobody in my world! And at Full Gear, November 18th, I’m gonna prove that I’m better than you…! And you know it.”
Bullet Club Gold has a response.
Juice Robinson sings that Jay pinned MJF, and the Ass Boys join in. Austin Gunn then asks, “What’s our show? Collision? Dynamite? Rampage? Your mama’s kitchen? It doesn’t matter, you are the catalyst! You are the AEW World Champion!” Jay has them calm down so he can say some of his favorite words. “I- I? No, no, WE told you so!” They are the true elite around here! And who just pinned MJF? Oh, oh, Colten knows the answer! Then who was it that just pinned and beat, 1-2-3, the so-called longest reigning AEW World Champion? That was Jay White. Yeah, it was.
And who will do it again to successfully “defend” the AEW World Championship, the Bang Bang Belt, at Full Gear? Right again, it’ll be Jay White, the Switchblade! And with that, the Bang Bang Gang, the Collision Cowboys, have earned a little bit of a vacation. They’re gonna take a pause for the cause, have some orange juice. But they don’t just own Collision, they own Dynamite! They’ll be back on Dynamite for another “World Title Eliminator,” because this champion leads by example! And if you’re not down with that, they’ve got two words for ya: GUNS UP! White talks a lot of trash for being delusional, but will he face reality soon enough?
Backstage interview with Kip Sabian.
Lexi Nair is with Mr. Superbad, and she says he is rather angry. Yeah, that’s one way to put it, Lexi. He is PISSED OFF! Surely you all saw last week on Rampage, but in the hometown of his wife, Penelope Ford, “a certain toothless tosspot decided to attack me unprovoked!” He’s talking about Mark Briscoe. But Kip says he’s got a hot take for you! The Workhorsemen are one of the most underrated tag teams in AEW. JD Drake & Anthony Henry step in as Kip tells Mark that if he can find two chums, they can scrap it out on Collision! When you’ve got The Workhorsemen and “The Sex Idol,” lads, tonight they become the #SexStallions!
JD & Henry dig that nickname. But will they regret playing a game of chicken with the Sussex County Chicken?
The Kingdom w/ Roderick Strong VS Braxton Nash & James McGregor!
While making their entrance, Roddy #NeckStrong shouts at “DASHA~! DASHAAA~!” He has them all cut the music and stop so they can listen to him. “You people do NOT take neck health seriously. And more importantly, you don’t take us seriously! Well I won’t stand for that!” Mike & Matt tell him it’s okay, he doesn’t have to, he can stay seated in his wheelchair. Roddy continues to say that they’re gonna show the fans here tonight, and they’re gonna show his best friend, Adam Cole, that neck health is serious, and so are they! “Get ’em!” Taven & Bennett rush the ring to fire off hands! The bell rings and this is on record!
Taven backs Braxton down, Mike has the other guy. Then they set Braxton up for a SPINEBUSTER and JUST THE TIP of the knee! Then The Kingdom runs up, they SMASH and LEG LARIAT McGregor! The Kingdom talk trash, mug McGregor and haul him up to a fireman’s carry. Taven BLASTS Braxton back off the apron, and Mike hits a DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Braxton is sent into steel steps! Taven tags in, climbs up, and Mike reels McGregor in. MIND KILLER PILEDRIVER!! Cover, The Kingdom wins!
Winners: The Kingdom, by pinfall
The Kingdom shout “NECK STRONG!” Roddy then gets in to STRONG KNEE Braxton down! But then his neck bothers him again? Adrenaline is strong, but this still smells fishy. Will these three ever be taken seriously?
Backstage interview with Mark Briscoe.
Lexi brings up Kip’s challenge to face him and the Workhorsemen in a Trios match. Has Mark found partners? Mark wants to explain something, but in step FTR. They all say hey, and FTR says they can totally pull double duty. They’ll team with Mark and then still be in the main event. Mark says he appreciates that, but he can’t let them do that. Listen, they have important business of their own, and Mark already had a couple fellas in mind. They can all handle business, holler at you after the show. FTR is good with that and they head back out. Lexi asks if we can get a scoop on just who Mark’s partners are going to be?
Sorry, Lexi, but Mark will not divulge that information. However, don’t miss it! The Sussex County Chicken is back, baby! But then just who is Mark going to ask to #ManUp and take on those “Sex Stallions?”
Darby Allin VS Lance Archer w/ Jake “The Snake” Roberts!
The Relentless One wants to go Rated R with Adam “Edge” Copeland and Sting at Full Gear, but he has to make it through the Murderhawk Monster first. Will Darby find away around dying by Archer’s hands? Or will Sting & Edge need a new partner after tonight?
The bell rings and the two tie up. Archer powers Darby back, puts him on the top rope, then pats him on the head as he lets off. Fans boo but Darby snarls.

Darby flops out of the ring but Archer pursues. Archer storms in and drags Darby up. Fans rally but Archer hits a SHOULDER BREAKER!
Archer soaks up the heat, drags Darby back up, and he goes to a corner. Archer climbs up, and gives us some Old School! But Darby trips Archer up! Archer tumbles to the outside, and Darby DIVES! Direct hit and both men go down at the ramp! Darby rises, he runs up to clamp on a SLEEPER, but Archer just THROWS Darby down! Archer is mad now, and he hauls Darby up! Archer suplexes to TOSS Darby back down the ramp! Darby writhes and Archer smiles as Collision goes picture in picture.
Archer stalks Darby and and looms over him. Archer puts Darby in the ring, throws Darby’s skateboard aside, then gets in the ring. Archer soaks up more heat, and he stalks Darby to a corner. Archer SMOTHERS Darby with both hands, but lets off as the ref counts. Archer drags Darby up, but Darby kicks low! And again! And again! But Archer short arm LARIATS in return! Archer paces around, talks some trash, and then he drags Darby up to put him in a corner while Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Archer puts Darby up top. Archer ROCKS Darby, then goes for the reverse crucifix. But Darby throws down elbows! Darby hops on for a SLEEPER! Archer pries the hold open, pops Darby up, but Darby flails free! Darby BOOTS Archer away, then dodges him! Archer hits buckles, Darby goes up! Archer runs to STEP-UP KNEE! Darby wobbles up top, and Archer grins. Archer inverted crucifix lifts, but Darby slips free again, THROWBACK STUNNER! And then a cover, TWO! Archer is still in this but so is Darby as he fires off forearms! Darby BITES Archer, runs, COFFIN- NO, Archer catches him! GERMAN SUPLEX!
Darby flounders to the apron and Archer storms over. Fans rally up for Darby but Archer drags him up and bends him back against the ropes. Archer then drags Darby in to TOSS him into the corner! Choke grip and CHOKE SLAM! But Archer isn’t done, he drags Darby back up, to APRON CHOKE SLAM!! Darby flops to the floor and even The Snake is stunned! The ring count climbs, it hits 5 of 10, and The Snake has Darby’s skateboard! The ref knows better and he EJECTS Jake Roberts! The Snake is furious, but he still leaves. Archer gets in the ref’s face but Darby crawls back into the ring.
Archer storms over, he watches Darby drag himself up, and then DECKS him! Archer seethes and he drags Darby back up. Archer puts Darby in the corner, fans rally, and Archer puts Darby up top. Archer climbs, choke grips again, but Darby bends the fingers back, to then BITE the hand! And he claws Archer’s eyes, and pulls hair to dribble Archer off buckles! Darby CLAWS Archer’s back! Darby hops up but Archer holds ropes! Darby fights through, to SUPER CODE RED!! Cover, Darby wins!!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall
Archer is back up but it’s a little too late! He’s furious and then The Snake storms back out and says that ain’t how this is gonna go! Darby may be the golden goose, but this egg’s gonna get cracked and scrambled! Get used to it! You think Jake came to this fight with only one piece of artillery? No! He will introduce us to the newest piece. You may’ve seen them on the streets at one time. C’mon out. It’s THE RIGTHEOUS?! Since when did The Snake strike a deal with Dutch & Vincent? Jake says they’re strange, you might call ’em misfits. But one thing is for sure, they know how to get things done. So Darby, get ready to go to hell!
Vincent says revenge is forever. And it’s showtime. Dig what he’s saying? Archer reels Darby in for the scoop and BLACKOUT BOMB!! Fans boo as Jake, Vincent & Dutch set Darby up for destruction! Will this snake lead The Righteous and his monster to the golden land?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander, Willow Nightingale & Skye Blue.
Lexi stands with these three friends, and notes Willow’s big match with Emi Sakura tonight. But what this is about is Kris and Willow both wanting time to talk to Skye. Kris says yes, the just wanted to say Skye had them going for a second. They didn’t know if Skye was gonna choose Julia Hart or them, but she showed up, showed out, and did the right thing. So thank you for that. Skye says first, Kris doesn’t need to thank Skye, she didn’t do it for Kris. She did it for Willow, and Skye always has Willow’s back. Skye also wishes Willow luck tonight. Thanks! Kris says she has their backs, too! Willow says yeah, they’re all friends!
While Skye didn’t join the dark side, it seems something is still brewing between her and the TBS Champion. Can Willow keep the trio together? Or is what Blue after not the House of Black, but the gold?
Backstage interview with Alex Abrahantes.
Lexi is now with The Hype Man and says last night on Rampage, Penta El Zero Miedo got a huge win in that Triple Threat. What is next for him? Alex says last night, Penta, Komander and El Hijo Del Vikingo tore down the house! They showed the world that lucha is life! But laughing as they walk in, it’s Swerve and Nana. Swerve asks why they’re talking about Friday when it’s Saturday. Did you not see what he just did to Fox? Got a win again! Alex says yeah, they can talk about what Swerve did. How about a couple weeks ago, when Swerve violated the sanctity of Hangman Adam Page’s home?
If there’s one thing Penta loves more than lucha, it’s familia. So how about Wednesday on Dynamite, Penta beats some respect into Swerve? Swerve says sounds like a plan. Back in the day, they both used to wear masks. Swerve looks forward to finally seeing what’s under Penta’s. See you Wednesday. Before Swerve and Nana leave, Alex tells them that while Penta has Cero Miedo, Swerve has one thing to fear: Penta himself. Swerve clicks his tongue and can’t believe Alex is serious. But will we see Penta tear down whose house?
The Acclaimed is here!
And Max Caster gets started on another track! “Acclaimed in the house, we make the city vibrate! Throw your hands up because it’s 69 Day! Wichita, we all in proper. We like to scissor and you like the Shockers! We don’t need to tiptoe, we beat every team on this yellow brick road! 69 days, we on top of the game. In Wichita, everybody loves The Acclaimed!” Bowens gets the mic to say, “OH WICHITAAA~! The Acclaimed have arrived! Scissor me, Daddy Ass~!” And he does! Fans cheer as the trio gets in the ring, and Billy Gunn has the mic. “How the hell are ya? So it seems everybody in here is ready to have a little fun, I guess, right?” Fans cheer that!
From this guy who wants Billy to be his daddy, to this young lady who says it is her first time. Probably a lie but that’s okay. But these signs are awesome! Y’all ready to get it on? The fans cheer and Billy says time to do what they’re here for. For the thousands in attendance, and for the millions (AND MILLIONS!) watching at home… They have been trios champs for SIXTY-NINE DAYS!! The streamers fly and fans chant “69! 69!” Bowens takes the mic to say, “How we feel, Wichita?” The fans cheer again, and Bowens says this is a very, very special day. Like they said, it’s been 69 days of The Acclaimed, and they’re fired the hell up!
So… Bowens wanted to introduce a little surprise. Billy says he likes surprises! And that surprise is for Bowens’ good friend, Max Caster. Caster had a good week this week, sot hey got him a very special gift in honor of National 69 Day. Roll the clip! MJF did a video for Caster?! MJF can’t believe this is happening, either. But Bowens & Billy asked and to be honest, MJF’s initial instinct was to say no. But for the first time in the nine years MJF has known Caster, Caster has earned MJF’s respect. When Caster took that bullet for MJF on Dynamite, that was pretty cool. And MJF’s friend, Adam Cole, told him that it’s okay to have more than one friend.
At first, MJF thought that was “heresy.” But y’know, Caster’s starting to grow on MJF. Like a fungus, but still. Now, MJF isn’t saying he loves The Acclaimed like everyone else, but what he is saying is… He is kinda starting to like The Acclaimed. So Happy 69 Day. Yay scissoring…? Caster is so fired up! He thanks Bowens & Billy for it! It means a lot to him, as does this holiday. It is a culmination of all their hard work at the top of the AEW Trios Division. Fans cheer that! And that hard work is symbolized by this trophy sitting on the announce desk. And as much as that trophy belongs to them, it doesn’t happen without the people.
And since they are The People’s Choice and The People’s Voice, this trophy goes out to all the fans around the world, and especially to those live in Wichita, Kansas. Fans cheer again and Billy fetches the trophy with the wrestlers and the number 69 on it. Caster says without the people, The Acclaimed would’ve never gotten to 69, and they’ll get to 69 again and again and again and again and again- Bowens stops Caster as he starts looping. “DAMMIT, MAX! Stop being a gooner.” Sorry… But in closing, Bowens wants Wichita to wrap this up… Wait, they don’t want it to end? Billy says he wants to know just how he’s gonna 69 everyone here. Isn’t that what daddies do?
Okay, sorry, he’s having too much fun. But Bowens says their time is almost up, so Kansas, thank you so much! The fans sing “OH~ Scissor Me, Daddy~!” Bowens thanks them again for singing along, and for showing everyone that- “BOYS!!” WHAT!? Wait, Dalton Castle is here, bringing Brandon & Brent with him! The Acclaimed are surprised as Castle joins them in the ring. The Boys help Castle with his jumpsuit, they fan him off, but he has them cease! Fans fire up for Castle, and wait! The Boys grab the 69 trophy? They hand it to Castle? Wichita says, “That’s Not Yours! That’s Not Yours!” But Castle does seem to admire it.
Castle smirks as he starts to leave with the trophy. Or no, is he gonna smash it?! HE SMASHES IT! The Acclaimed attack and toss the Boys out! Billy brawls with Castle, and then SMACKS him off railing! But Castle RAMS Billy in return! The Acclaimed mug the Tate Twins, a ref rushes out to try and stop this, but instead, it’s a match! And Tony Khan sends word to make it for the titles!!
AEW World Trios Championships: The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn VS Dalton Castle & The Boys!
Castle KNEES Caster in the corner! Caster falls, Billy runs in, but Castle ducks ‘n’ dodges, only to leap into Billy’s arms! Billy carries Castle to FALL AWAY SLAM! Fans fire up as Castle flounders out of the ring. The Boys run in, Billy dodges but runs into DOUBLE DROPKICKS! The Boys then hurry to grab a pinata!? Was that meant for 69 Day? Caster dodges, CHOPS Castle, and Bowens grabs the pinata! Bowens passes it to Caster, he catches it, and then Bowens DOUBLE LARIATS the Boys! PINATA SHOT on Castle! Bowens says rip that thing open! Castle rips it open, and it’s new merch! Free merch for the fans!
Collision goes picture in picture as the merch is all handed out. Then the champs coordinate, to GROUP SCISSOR~! But Castle & The Boys return to attack! They beat The Acclaimed down, Castle bumps Caster off buckles, but Caster returns the favor! Caster stomps a mudhole in, then whips Castle to the other corner. Caster runs in, Castle dodges, but then Castle runs in and Caster dodges! They dodge, dodge, and dodge again! Castle stops the loop, but Caster ELBOWS him away!

And now they get to day 70! The fightingest trios champions keep on fighting, will they make it to multiples of 69 at this rate?
Backstage interview with Andrade El Idolo.
Lexi is with the Face of Latino Wrestling, and she knows he keeps his cards close to his vest, but given LFI is in the main event with FTR tonight, has he put any more thought into CJ Perry’s offer? Andrade says he already said last week, this is his business and nobody else’s. But… Next week, Andrade will give his answer to CJ face to face. Okay? Andrade leaves, what will his answer be? And will The Redeemer have something to say about it?

Jay White walks around with gold that don’t belong to him! Mark’s whooped Jay’s ass multiple times in tag team action, so what say they do this Wednesday Night Dynamite, 1v1! Put the shot at the title on the line! Don’t be scared, boy, he’s coming for you! Mark is ready to take a bite out of White, but will he instead Breathe with the Switchblade?

The ref counts, Emi lets off, and Willow stands back up. Emi says she’s Her Highness, then CHOPS! Willow CHOPS back! And CHOSP! And CHOPS! Willow fires off forearms, but Emi claws her eyes!

Backstage interview with Samoa Joe.
Lexi is with the ROH World Television Champion and congratulates him on officially becoming the longest reigning ROH World TV Champion ever. Now, last week, he offered his help to MJF, has he received any kind of response? Joe thanks Lexi for the accolades, certainly deserved. But no, he has not heard from MJF. MJF needs to come to the realization that he needs Joe making moves on his behalf. MJF needs to realize he needs someone to watch his back properly. And until he realizes that man is Joe, MJF will endure pain week after week. As for Joe’s reign as ROH World TV Champion, it’s been great, it’s been fruitful, and he’s beaten everyone put in front of him.
But then in walks Keith Lee! “Mr. Joe. Mighty orgulous (haughty/arrogant) of you, but you’ve not beaten everyone.” Joe says they can remedy that this Wednesday. Keith says count him in. The Limitless One takes on the One True King of Wrestling, will that record setting reign soon be ended? Or will Joe find Keith Lee actually does have limits?
8 Man Tag: FTR & La Faccion Ingobernable VS Ricky Starks, “Big Bill” Morrissey & The Gates of Agony!
Cash & Dax weren’t sure if they could trust Rush & Preston Vance before tonight, and after that huge brawl earlier tonight, it’s hard to say if they still can. But either they stand together or they fall apart, will the Top Guys and the Ungovernable decide to fight their common enemies rather than make enemies out of each other? Or will it matter when up against the Absolute Tag Team Champions and the Mogul Embassy’s monsters?
The teams sort out and Perro Peligroso starts against Big Bill. Vance is big but well, Bill is BIG. They tie up, are in a deadlock, and then break. They go again, Vance waistlocks, but Bill elbows free. Bill UPPERCUTS Vance, whips him corner to corner, but Vance goes up, only to get caught! Vance slips free, fires off forearm after forearm, then CHOP after CHOP! The ref backs Vance down, but he comes back for more! Vance CLUBS away from the second rope, but lets off as the ref reprimands. Fans are mixed but Vance whips. Bill reverses to then SPLASH in the corner! Bill runs but Vance follows to clothesline! Bill doesn’t flinch?!
Bill shoves Vance, eggs him on, then backs off, to DECK Vance with a sucker punch! Bill drags Vance up to tag in Bishop Kaun, and Kaun CHOSP! Kaun snap suplexes Vance, but Vance avoids the senton! Tag to Cash and Cash wrenches Kaun. And wrench again, but Kaun ROCKS him for it! Kaun ELBOWS Cash in a corner, fires off haymakers, and then swings again. Cash blocks to JAB and JAB and JAB, but Kaun knees low! Kaun whips Cash, Cash goes up and over and keeps moving. Cash slips free of the back drop to shove Kaun but Kaun leaps over. Cash RAMS Kaun in the ropes!
Tag to Dax, FTR double whips to drop toehold and elbow drop! Cover, ONE!! Kaun is hanging tough but Dax drags him up to whip. Kaun reverses and elbows Dax down! Kaun SENTONS, then he tags Toa Liona. Liona HEADBUTTS Dax, whips him to ropes, but Dax SMACKS Liona off the amt! Liona stands up!? And he scoops Dax to SLAM him! And FALLING HEADBUTT! Cover, TWO! Liona drags Dax up, whips, but Dax ducks ‘n’ dodges and slides to CHOP! And CHOP! And CHOP! Fans “WOO~” but Liona shoves, so Dax SHOTGUNS! But Liona returns, only for Dax to dodge the senton! Dax hauls Liona up but Liona LARIATS!
Nana cheers his guys on, and Liona brings Dax up to tag in Starks. Fans are torn but Starks and Liona mug Dax. Starks fires off hands in a corner, the ref counts, but Starks knees low. Starks soaks up the heat, but Dax CHOPS! And DECKS Starks! Dax gets the legs, steps through, but Starks scrambles to the ropes! The ref counts, Dax YANKS Starks away! Tag to Rush and fans fire up! El Toro Blanco wrenches and body shots Starks! And again! And then he DECKS Starks! Rush pushes Starks out, pursues, and RAMS Starks into railing! Fans fire up as Rush keeps going and he sends Starks into more railing! And then more railings! And then back to the ring!
Fans fire up with Rush, he storms up to stomp away! Rush pumps up and mocks Starks’ pose! Then he scuffs Starks while Collision goes picture in picture.
Rush drags Starks around, and Jose distracts the ref while Rush gets the green cables! Rush LASHES Starks, but Bill runs in to CLOBBER him! Then all hell breaks loose as everyone brawls! The chaos spills out of the ring, with LFI mugging Bill in the ring! They TOSS Bill, FTR takes care of the Gates, and then Rush RAMS Starks into more railing! Cash CHOPS Kaun, Bill CLUBS Vance, Rush CHOKES Starks, Liona CLUBS Cash, and Cash even helps Rush use the green cable to wrangle Starks. The ref reprimands everyone and the teams sort back out. Rush drags Starks up to wrench and he tags in Dax.
Dax and Rush mug Starks, and then Dax bumps Starks off buckles. Dax drags Starks up, whips him hard into buckles, and then Dax runs in, only for Starks to POST him! Dax flops to the outside, Starks tags Bill, and Starks drags Dax into the ring to SLAM him! Bill keeps Dax from his corner, and stomps him around. Bill drops a BIG elbow! And then another! Dax writhes, Bill shakes his arm out to drop a third BIG elbow! Tag to Liona and they mug Dax. Collision returns to single picture as Liona HEADBUTTS Dax! Liona CHOKES Dax, the ref counts, and Liona lets off, only for Nana to get his shots in!
Fans rally for FTR but Liona tags Kaun. The Gates fire each other up, and Kaun whips Linoa in to SPLASH! Feed to a LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Tag to Starks and he brings Dax to a corner. Starks goes up, and he gives us some Absolute Old School! AX HANDLE, then a STRADDLE ATTACK on the ropes! Then a GUILLOTINE LEG DROP on the apron! Cover, TWO! Tag to Bill and they mug Dax. Bill drags Dax up, scoops and SLAMS him, and Starks hops on commentary to say they’re not doing good enough of a job. Starks gives a shoutout to his boy, Big Bill, and he scoop SLAMS Dax! Starks says it feels like he’s known Bill forever but it’s only been a couple months.
Bill goes to the corner, he hops up, and he MACHO ELBOWS BUT FLOPS as Dax moves! Bill tags Starks back in, but Dax hot tags Rush! Rush HEADBUTTS Starks, dodges Kaun to BLAST Liona, and he JUMP KNEES Kaun! Rush stomps away on Starks! Fans fire up as Rush goes corner to corner, to jump and BOOT! Then tranquilo! Fans fire up, Starks runs in, but into a POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO! Rush growls but the fans rally up. Rush drags Starks up, throws body shots, then he reels Starks in. Rush suplexes, Starks slips free and kicks low! Starks reels Rush in, but Vance runs up to DECK Starks!
LFI stomps away on Starks, then they drag Starks up to double whip. They double hip toss, for a DOUBLE SLAM! Cover, Liona breaks it! Vance ROCKS and CHOPS Liona but Liona HEADBUTTS back! Liona reels Vance in to shove and SAMOAN DROP! Vance goes to the corner, Liona run sin but Vance ducks! Liona hits buckles and falls out of the ring! Bill gets in. Vance ROCKS him first! Vance spins, into Bill’s SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAM! Fans fire up for that, but Dax is back! Tag to Cash, but Big Bill fights off the Big Rig! Bill has both FTR but they DOUBLE HAYMAKER! But Bill DOUBLE LARIATS them back!
Rush is back and he leaps to MISSILE DROPKICK! Down goes Bill! Kaun kicks Rush, fireman’s carries, but Rush slips free, shoves and SNAP GERMAN SUPLEXES! Fans fire up, Rush takes aim, runs in, Starks SPEARS Rush first!! Both men are down, “This is Awesome!” Starks crawls, hot tag to Kaun! Starks and Kaun mug Rush, they suplex, but Cash makes the save! Starks ROCKS Cash and Kaun fireman’s carries, GUTBUSTER DROP! Starks TOSSES Cash, then drags Rush up. Starks and Kaun double whip but Rush slips around!

Kauns wings, misses, and Dax CHOPS again! Rush snipes the tag, and joins in on SHATTER MACHINE?!?! Fans are thunderous again, but then Cash figures what the hell, and he DIVES onto Kaun like he’s the luchador! Rush aims at Kaun, fans are fired up for it, and Rush runs in, BULL’S HORNS!! FTR is on defense as Rush covers, FTR & LFI win!!
Winners: FTR & La Faccion Ingobernable, by pinfall
But just as FTR wants to celebrate with these guys, LFI bails and celebrates on their own. Rush pinned an ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champion, will he and his amigos come for those titles? And what of the AEW World Tag Team Championships? Wait, the lights go down! From the tron, Malakai Black says that with their best friend gone, the only people that truly seem to care about FTR now are… Well, the House of Black. Brody King says they are two men obsessed with being champions. “Let the House show you that your legacy is worth so much more than your weight in gold.”
“And if you don’t believe us,” Buddy Matthews says, “then we’ll beat it into you.” The House of Black steps into the shadows, only to appear in person in the ring!! And they mug FTR 3v2! Fans are torn as Brody & Malakai dig their boots into Cash & Dax! But wait! Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta are here! They rush in, Yuta has a chair to JAM Brody with! Claudio fires off with Malakai as Yuta SMACKS Brody! Brody bails out, Claudio gets Malakai’s legs! Malakai kicks away and the House is on the run! The Blackpool Combat Club still wants their revenge for before, will they be the ones watching FTR’s backs now?
My Thoughts:
A very good Collision, though a good amount of this was just kinda for the hell of it. Willow VS Emi was a great match that was oddly on the card just so we could have another promo of Willow, Kris and Skye. Seems Skye thinks of Willow as more of a friend than she does Kris, and I would think that means we get Kris VS Skye for the TBS Championship at some point. The Kingdom squash jobbers to stay active, and all their #NeckStrong antics were funny, but that was about it. And at first, Mark Briscoe getting Keith Lee & Dustin Rhodes as teammates seemed random just so they could have that Six Man Tag, but we did get Keith to challenge Samoa Joe for his title and Mark Briscoe called out Jay White so that was cool.
MJF had some fun promos tonight. MJF responding to Garcia’s challenge is great, and that’s going to be a great title match. MJF basically doing a Cameo video for Caster was a great addition to the 69 Day celebration, and MJF’s promo to call out Jay White was great, as was Bullet Club Gold’s response. Pretty sure MJF retains against Garcia, and pretty sure White keeps his Full Gear spot from Mark. Speaking of promos, while I don’t always like those show opener promos, using them to segue right into Fox VS Swerve was amazing. Great match from Fox VS Swerve, too, and of course Swerve wins to have momentum going against Hangman. Swerve’s promo with Alex was good stuff, and Swerve VS Penta is going to be awesome.
Darby VS Archer was great stuff, and great win for Darby. And then what a twist, this wasn’t giving Christian and Edge an appearance on Collision, this was so The Righteous could join up with Jake The Snake. So I guess Stu Grayson really is just out, even though it was such a big deal in ROH that Stu was with The Righteous and was getting Dark Order to go Heel. Whatever. But with Jake the Snake and Archer allied with them, Vincent & Dutch might actually get somewhere now.
And apparently, Tony Khan put off the story of Joe VS Castle for so long, he decided to turn Castle & The Boys Heel against The Acclaimed for a surprise Trios title match. The 69 Day celebration being ruined by the trophy being smashed was pretty surprising, I just thought Castle was going to ask for the title match without doing something like that. Still a really good match, and of course The Acclaimed win and retain. And then great 8 Man Tag, great win for FTR & LFI, and I would think LFI VS Mogul Embassy for the ROH World Six Man titles is the thing.
And now we’re apparently back to the BCC helping FTR against The House of Black. Moxley is healthy to compete, he was in Japan today for NJPW’s Power Struggle, so he just needs to come back and join Claudio, Yuta & FTR in some kind of 5v5, should Starks & Bill still join in. Or we just do FTR VS Starks & Bill for the tag titles, and then House of Black VS BCC in a trios match. Hard to say since Tony Khan doesn’t seem to know what he’ll do next, either.

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. 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-

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!! Hart gets free, gets up, and gets around Aminata to crucifix takedown, TWO! Hart rolls Aminata, TWO! The two get up, run up, and Hart gets around to backslide!

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.

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
