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?
Willow Nightingale VS Emi Sakura!
The Babe with the Power is also the 2023 Queen of Harts, but she owes the Queen of Joshi a little something from their match earlier this year. Will Willow use her big smile and big power to bring down the living legend?

Emi drags Willow by her hair but the ref reprimands. Emi lets off with one hand, but then stomps Willow down. Willow goes to a corner, Emi is on her, and CHOKES her against ropes! 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! The ref reprimands but Willow stumbles to ropes. Emi drags Willow around, hooks up the legs, and she stands on them just so Willow suffers. Emi then pulls hair, only for Willow to power out!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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! Rush and Kaun switch waistlocks, Starks’ SUPERKICK hits Kaun! An Absolute mistake!

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.

Jon Moxley & PAC w/ The Death Riders VS Orange Cassidy & Jay White!
It was last Saturday that the AEW World Champion and his band of rogues almost poisoned Freshly Squeezed, if not for FTR saving him. And it was last Wednesday that Pac & Wheeler Yuta almost got one over on The Switchblade, if not for Jay White’s top tier toughness. But will tonight be the night The Maniac & The Bastard destroy their enemies once and for all? Or will unlikely allies be able to win another battle in this war for AEW’s soul?

Captain Charisma is clearly in no rush to cash in his Casino Gauntlet contract, or else he’d be much closer to the action.

Bandido BACKDROPS him away, grapples with his biggest man, and that guy fireman’s carries Bandido! He claims that reward is all his!
But Bandido slips free, SHOVES the man into the railing, and then with a finger gun, he says BANG! Bandido runs up, pommel horses off the big guy to DROPKICK the sheriff, and then he hits the BLACKJACK 21 GERMAN SUPLEX on the big guy! Bandido stands tall after the shootout, but where will we see him next?
The Death Riders regroup backstage.
Moxley says, “I’m a marked man. Heavy is the head that wears the crown. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. Being a marked man is the only way to live, it’s the only way to feel alive! The only way to live is with a knife to your throat, with the dynamite stick burning down to the end of the wick. That is the only way to live and I wouldn’t have it any other way!” Moxley says these guys, their problem is their egos! They wall want that next title shot! Moxley mockingly runs around arguing with himself, “I want the next title shot! No I want the next title shot!” That’s the problem! YOUR EGOS RUN YOUR LIVES! EGOS RUN ALL ELITE WRESTLING!!
Moxley says none of this is about him, it’s about his people. They do not fight flesh and blood. He’ll give all three of them an “early Christmas gift.” Worlds End in Orlando, Florida, the AEW World Championship, FATAL 4 WAY!! Moxley heads out, Death Riders following, and the champ just raised the stakes on himself! Will The Maniac be able to win his own gamble? Or will there be a NEW AEW World Champion one way or another?
Christian Cage speaks.
Still up in the skybox, Captain Charisma tells Kansas City, “As I literally and figuratively look down on you, sit down and shut your mouths while I conduct my business!” The fans boo, but Christian continues. “So it’s a four way match at Worlds End, huh? Well, I have a problem, a very- SHUT UP!” Fans boo more but Christian says he has problem with every person in that match. Jay White cost Christian the world title at Full Gear, and so did Hangman Page when he didn’t live up to his end of the bargain. And while Orange Cassidy is just a pissant that gets on Christian’s nerves, Moxley is the real problem because he has what Christian wants.
The fans boo more but Christian says if Moxley happens to make it out of that match still the champion, know that Christian very well might be waiting on the other side. And if he is, then this time, Christian will not miss. Christian will send Moxley back into a tailspin, send him back to rock bottom, and Moxley will hear that little voice in his head saying, “It’s okay, Jon, do it. It’s okay, Jon, you earned it. Have that drink.” Christian vows to send Moxley back to rehab, and he will then rehab the world title! Until then, do not ever forget that Christian is THE face of TBS then, now and forever, and he is the reigning, defending, undisputed NEXT AEW World Champion!
The fans boo more but Christian adds one more thing. “Kansas City, before I leave, I just wanted to say… Go- HOOK!?” Hook SMASHES the door window with his arm that’s in the cast! It’s in that cast because of last week’s Con-Chair-to! Christian freaks out, runs away and goes to the bleachers, but Hook drags him back! Hook fires off on Christian in the skybox, and he dribbles Christian off the side of the cabinets! The fans fire up as Christian has no one to help him! REDRUM!! Christian flails while Hook drags Christian out into the crowd, and then goes to dump him over the balcony!! Christian flails and fights free!
Christian runs away but Hook keeps after him! Hook SLIDES Christian across the kitchen counter! And then does it again, right into a wall! Kip & Nick return to fight Hook, but Hook THROWS Kip into the table! And he KNEES Nick low! Christian has run for it but Hook pursues! Kip & Nick hurry after, will The Patriarchy regret getting on the bad side of the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil?
AEW Continental Classic, Gold League: Claudio Castagnoli VS Will Ospreay!
The Swiss Superman is leading this block after demolishing Darby Allin and cheating Brody King. But while he’s on his third, The Aerial Assassin is on his second. Can Ospreay bring down Claudio and tie things up with him? Or will all the Death Riders be unstoppable?

Renee Paquette is with Don Callis himself, as well as The Alpha, Konosuke Takeshita. Things have been booming for the Family, but what is next after that big win on Ricochet at Full Gear? Callis says Renee needs to use more superlatives for Konosuke. Booming? This is domination! But then Will Hobbs steps in! Callis says hey, Powerhouse, welcome back! Hobbs stops Callis and tells him to back up. It seems Callis forgot Hobbs’ email, phone number, address, didn’t even think to check on him at all. Right? Right. So let’s keep this short and sweet: Hobbs wants what Konosuke has. Hobbs wants to be AEW International Champion!
Callis says hey, what is going on here? They have history! Hobbs is going to step to Konosuke? Duh. Well, okay, yeah, Callis admits Hobbs deserves a shot. Hobbs deserves better than what he’s been getting. But see, with all these international bookings coming up, Callis & Konosuke are going to Japan, to Portugal, all over. Callis will talk with his people, they’ll get back to Hobbs. Callis has Konosuke get going and says see ya later, but Hobbs grabs Callis’ arm! Hobbs tells Callis he better get back to him.

And now the AEW Finals are set! Jamie Hayter or Willow Nightingale, who survives next week’s Collision to head for the Tokyo Dome?
Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa.
Renee is now with La Mera Mera and brings up how Rosa’s keeping a close eye on Mariah May and Mina Shirakawa. Yes, let’s do the math: the last time Rosa was in the ring with Mariah May, Rosa won; last time Rosa was in the ring with Mina Shirakawa, Rosa won. So therefore, she is 2-0 against them, so Rosa is pretty sure she deserves the next shot at the AEW Women’s World Championship, regardless of who wins. And yes, Mina is an excellent wrestler, it would be an honor for Rosa to face her again. As for Mariah, well, Rosa brings out a looong list, and though it’s all Espanol, it’s all bad. The point is, it will be so much fun to beat Mariah until she cries!
Winter is Coming and the title match can go either way, but one thing that won’t change is that Rosa is La Mera Mera! Women’s Wrestling in AEW is alive and well! And as long as the fans believe in Rosa, she’ll scratch, claw, and fight until she gets the title back! So tell this to everyone: Good luck, you’re gonna need it. Rosa heads out, all fired up, but who will she look to burn after Mariah and Mina have it out?
The Death Riders are here!
Jon Moxley, Marina Shafir, Pac & Wheeler Yuta make their way through the GalaxyCon crowd to go right to the ring. Moxley grabs a mic and paces around. “People wanna talk? Then let’s talk, Ohio. Let’s talk about people who don’t wanna be AEW World Champion. And there’s a lot of them. There’s not a single soul in this building that wants to be AEW World Champion. They think they do, they say they do, but they don’t.” The fans chant for “Freshly Squeezed!” but Moxley says no, “they are not ready to make the sacrifices necessary. They are not ready to shoulder the weight. They are not willing to put themselves in harm’s way.
“Yeah, they wanna hold the belt and shine it up real nice, hold it up over their head and take pictures with it. They wanna strap it around their waists, but quite frankly, none of them deserve tot even lay eyes on the AEW World Championship, and it is MY responsibility to make sure that they don’t!” Is that why it’s been in the briefcase this whole time? Moxley says he’s talking about guys like Switchblade Jay White. Jay White is one hell of a competitor, one hell of a wrestler, and Moxley has a lot of respect for him. But Jay White is a child! Jay White doesn’t know the first thing about what it takes to be world champion!
The fans boo, but Moxley says Hangman Adam Page is self-destructive, miserable and insecure. He’ll probably take himself out of the game before he even sniffs another world championship! The fans cheer for #CowboyS*it, but Moxley says none of these guys really want it. And then there’s Orange Cassidy. “We found out at Full Gear exactly who Orange Cassidy was. He was not the guy. His peers hoped that he was, but he was not ‘The One.’ He was not the one foretold of in the prophecy. He did NOT have what it takes to get the job done! My only regret is that I let Orange Cassidy leave New Jersey with his skull intact!”
The fans boo and call BS, but Moxley tells Cassidy one last time, and he’ll tell the world one time so they better listen! “In a business full of pretend, full of talk, full of a bunch of talk and no action, I MEAN WHAT I SAY, and I don’t bluff.” If Cassidy pisses Moxley off one more time, Moxley takes him off the board for good. Well here comes Cassidy! Cassidy walks to the ring and Moxley already has a headache. Cassidy rolls into the ring, right past Pac, and then looks at the briefcase in Marina’s hands. Cassidy then looks Moxley up and down, then he brings out a mic from inside the jacket.
The fans cheer Cassidy on, and he says, “I can live without ever being the AEW World Champion. But see, what I can’t live with is you as the AEW World Champion. So I’m going to do whatever it takes, I’m never going to stop, until you are not the AEW World Champion.” The fans cheer that! Cassidy says the only way he stops is if Moxley kills him. Cassidy then throws his mic down at Moxley, then throws his sunglasses! And then his jacket! And his shirt! Cassidy eggs The Death Riders on, but it’s Marina who SMACKS him down with the briefcase! And then the gang all stomps away on him!
The fans boo, but Moxley rains down fists! Moxley CLAWS Cassidy’s eyes, then has Pac drag Cassidy up. Pac TOSSES Cassidy out, then Yuta goes out to tell him this is what he gets! Yuta and Pac drag Cassidy from ramp to the side of the stage! And then to the back? Moxley & Marina follow, where are The Death Riders taking Cassidy?
FTR speaks!
The #TopGuys are backstage as Cash Wheeler says, “So it’s funny, because for the better part of ten years, we’ve done everything we could to go down in history as the best. We have fought to be the most decorated, fought to go down in history as THE best tag team to ever do this. And then, a few months ago, Hurricane Helene hit North Carolina, and it’s not about wrestling anymore, it’s not about tag team gold anymore. Now, we fight for the fallen.” Dax Harwood says on Wednesday, January 1st, it is a monumental day for AEW. The first time ever, on TBS and streaming for HBO Max, it will be AEW Dynamite: Fight for the Fallen!
But even more than that, it is a big day for FTR as they spearhead the event coming to Ashville, North Carolina, to save people, save lives, raise money and raise awareness. And perhaps most importantly, FTR is building a… Oh, what’s going on? OH, the Death Riders are dragging Cassidy through here! Marina fights off security and staff, and Moxley has another bottle of cleaning solution! He says he’s gonna make this one count! Pac & Yuta hold Cassidy’s arms back while Marina holds Cassidy’s mouth open! Yuta has a funnel! Moxley says this time, Cassidy will get the message! But FTR saves Cassidy!
Cash & Dax dare the Death Riders to do something with them around, wielding steel pipes! Moxley has his team stand down, and he says they’ll learn the lesson, too. The Death Riders retreat, but will they find a way to take the Top Guys out?
AEW Continental Classic, Blue League: Kazuchika Okada VS Kyle Fletcher!
The Rainmaker has 4 points with his one win and one time limit draw, but the Aussie Arrow is at a full six points from his 2-0 streak! Will the Protostar beat THE Continental Champion to have a definitive lead in Blue League? Or is this where Okada starts making his comeback?

Backstage interview with Top Flight Airlines.
Renee is now with Lio Rush, Action Andretti, Leila Grey & The Martin Brothers. She needs to talk the Dynamite Dozen Battle Royal from last Wednesday. There came a point where they were not all on the same page, what happened? Leila would like to know that herself! What was that move about? Leila is of course referring to Lio & Action being united in turning on Darius & Dante before the end. Leila says that was crazy out there! This is supposed to be a team, but perhaps Lio & Action don’t understand that. Leila gets annoyed when Lio & Action don’t say anything, so she calls out Action directly.
Action says yeah, okay, he and Lio took Darius & Dante outta the match. But it was a battle royal! If you aren’t aware, but that’s how it works! Every man for themselves! Darius says yeah, they are aware. But he and Dante were just confused why Lio went along for the ride. It’s interesting how they wore matching gear. Last time Darius checked, all four of them were a team! When did it suddenly become some combination of Action & Lio? Lio says it became a combination of them because Darius & Dante kept losing everything for them! So the way Lio sees it, he and Action are going to be chasing the tag titles, not Darius & Dante.
Dante says if that’s all this was about, they could’ve just said so. They didn’t need to go stepping on toes just to get there, stupid! Well, maybe it needed to happen. For what? Lio’s ego? Action asks who these “Minnesota Morons” are calling stupid! MORONS?! Leila shouts, “ENOUGH!” If they’re gonna fight, fine, just not back here. Action says it sounds like they’ll settle this in the ring. Lio & Action go one way, Darius & Dante the other, with Leila stuck in the middle. Which half of Top Flight will find themselves as the top team?
Mina Shirakawa VS Emi Sakura!
We know Thunder Rosa will be watching this Wednesday, because Winter is Coming. But will the Fighting Gravure Idol be bringing the heat to Dynamite? Or will a match with the Queen of Joshi turn into a trap game?
Actually, Mina spots Rosa watching from the audience here and now. Mina stares Rosa down but Rosa says to focus on Emi. And Emi proves her right because she attacks Mina from behind! Emi uses her robe to LASH Mina and the bell rings! Emi drags Mina up to laugh and TOSS her! Mina flounders, Emi drags Mina up by her hair and CHOPS! Emi laughs again, then CHOPS! And CHOPS! CHOPS!

Emi drags Mina up, to CHOP again!
The fans rally and Emi stands Mina up. Mina KICKS! And KICKS! But Emi blocks the next one, to BITE the foot! The ref reprimands, Emi lets Mina go, and then Emi wrenches, to BITE the hand! The ref reprimands, Emi stops, and the fans boo Emi while Collision goes picture in picture.
Emi drags Mina back up, CHOPS her again, then CHOPS her again! And again! Emi brings Mina around to bump her off buckles. Emi then CHOPS, CHOPS, and MACHINE GUN CHOPS! Emi winds up to CHOP one more time! Mina drops to her knees, but Emi storms up on him. Emi tucks the arms, lifts, and BUTTERFLY SUPLEXES! cover, TWO! Mina stays in this but Emi tucks Mina into the Paradise Lock! Emi sits on Mina to “sip tea,” then steps off to set Mina free. Emi taunts Mina, and Mina stands to fire forearms! There isn’t much behind those and Emi laughs. Emi taunts Mina, but Mina rises to KICK! That has something to it!
Emi KICKS Mina back, then BOOTS her in the face! And BOOTS, and BOOTS! Mina stands but Emi puts her in the corner. Emi puts Mina in ropes to bend her backwards! Mina endures, the ref reprimands, but Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Emi has Mina down with a chinlock! Mina fights up as the fans rally. Mina RAMS Emi into buckles, then gets free. Mina goes corner to corner, but Emi DROPKICKS her first! Mina ends up back in a corner, but she dodges Emi! Mina steps in, goes up, and FLYING CHUCKS! Mina gets moving, another FLYING CHUCK! The fans fire up with Mina and she crawls to a cover, TWO! Emi pulls hair even! Mina is upset but she drags Emi up in a dragon sleeper! Emi fights the lift, and Mina just drops Emi down. Mina KICKS Emi, but Emi CHOPS and CHOPS! Emi dragon sleepers for a TWISTING NECKBREAKER!
The fans rally up while Emi huffs ‘n’ puffs. Emi says she is Our Highness, and she drags Mina up again. Emi underhooks and TIGER STALLING BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO!! Mina survives and Emi is frustrated. The fans rally, Rosa watches intently, and Emi drags Mina up. Mina fires a flurry of palm strikes and a SLAP! Emi CHOPS, then LARIATS! Emi runs, but Mina is up!

Mina CLUBS away on Emi, then whips, but Emi uses the ref as a shield!
Mina puts on the brakes, Emi pushes the ref down but Mina avoids the cheap shot! Mina URAKENS Emi down! Then Mina uses the ref as a pommel horse to SPLASH onto Emi! The fans fire up and Mina goes up a corner! FLYING SLINGBLADE again! Mina covers this time, and Mina wins!
Winner: Mina Shirakawa, by pinfall
Mina locks eyes with Rosa and Rosa does commend this match. Mina even toasts herself with some champagne! But will Mina be toasting the defeat of The Glamour this Wednesday? Or will La Mera Mera be going after Mariah May?
AEW shares footage from after Rampage.
Renee had a backstage interview with both Mark Briscoe and Daniel Garcia, they just competed in the C2 that night but would have to turn around to face each other on Collision. The TNT Champion has 4 points, the Sussex County Chicken still has none. Mark’s been in this position before, how will he close the gap this time around? Mark says this time of year, many people go through a tough time. But Mark personally, two years in a row now, he starts with zero wins two rounds in on the Continental Classic. Sometimes, he sits around, gets down on himself, and thinks, “Man, I sure do suck at Continental Classics.”
But no, that ain’t the case! He just ain’t applying himself! What Mark has to do is simply apply himself, and that is what he plans to do! Danny G is Mark’s boy, no hard feelings, but Mark has to do it to him! Mark NEEDS this W. Garcia says yeah, no hard feelings. That’s what he respects about Mark. Mark stays positive, even in the hard times. When he gets knocked down, he gets back up. Unfortunately, the same goes for Garcia. Garcia has 4 points, and another win makes 7, and he could potentially lead Blue League. (We know now that no, he’ll just be a clear second place) Garcia says he’ll just have to knock Mark down.
Garcia says he’s gonna give Mark everything he’s got, so Mark better do the same. Mark says you already know. There is respect here in this match, but who will respectfully kick the other man’s ass to get those crucial 3 points?

Winner: Mark Briscoe, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Garcia earns 0)
What a wild one! Mark said he needed the points, and he got those points! Mark and Garcia still show each other respect, and now we all move on to Winter is Coming! Garcia is still even with Okada at 4 points, so second place is still up for grabs! Who manages to move up and capture that semifinals spot for Worlds End?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision and great go-home to Winter is Coming. Very good promo from Rosa, and a very good hype package for Mariah VS Mina that I skipped, and a pretty good match from Mina VS Emi. It was a little clunky at first, and maybe that finish was also a little strange, but Mina was of course winning. Rosa wanting in on the world title scene, I would think Mariah retains so we get Mariah VS Rosa at Worlds End. Good promo from Top Flight, Dante & Darius VS Lio & Action will be really good stuff, and I think Lio & Action win to set themselves up as potential challengers to Private Party. They might even leave Top Flight to join Hurt Syndicate together, but maybe not.
Awesome match from Willow and Deeb, and Deeb wearing a shirt that says “Nobody Cares” and the arrow pointing up at herself, kinda taking Britt’s insult and owning it. Perhaps they still circle back to that feud just to help both women bide time. Willow winning was the right move, and I would think Willow wins next week because Hayter and Julia Hart have their feud that’s building. Mortos destroying Aaron Solo just because was pretty great, but he’s of course losing to Okada at Winter is Coming.
Speaking of Okada, I am rather surprised he lost, but I suppose Kyle cheating him like he did Shelton Benjamin is fine. Well, “fine” in that it keeps Okada strong, but Kyle should really be building himself up a bit more. We got an awesome match Darby VS Komander, too, and I figured Darby was getting the win, but it’s still annoying that the rounds are all lopsided, not everyone having competed in the same amount of matches as the others. As such, it doesn’t sound like Darby’s competing again until December 18th, but Ospreay’s gonna be at Winter is Coming AND Holiday Bash.
But that aside, Garcia VS Briscoe was an awesome main event, and Briscoe winning was a big surprise. Maybe they’re making Blue League more about a race for second place, since we’ll be getting big semifinal matches at the start of Worlds End, and the tournament finals are later. I would think Okada gets the second spot in Blue League so he can at least “defend” his Continental Championship at the PPV. And with this win over Garcia, Mark and Garcia could have a rematch for the TNT Championship at Worlds End, too.
My Score: 8.8/10
