Backstage interview with MJF.
Renee Paquette welcomes the AEW World Champion and she says last week, he accepted the challenge to an 8 Man Tag, where if he wins, Jay White promises to give MJF back Triple B, the world title belt itself. How is he doing to find three partners to team up with tonight after making a lot of enemies over the years? MJF thanks her for shoving that in his face. But to answer the question, he’s got a list of the roster here and hopefully there are three people who aren’t A-holes. He’d like some advice from brochacho for life, Adam Cole, via video chat! How’s it going, baybay?
Cole asks how MJF is and MJF says he’s good, how’s Cole? Cole’s hanging in there. But what does make him happy is that MJF is officially the longest reigning AEW World Champion of all time. And at this point, MJF is the greatest AEW World Champion of all time, the only thing that kills Cole is that he wishes he could be there for MJF. It feels like the whole world is gunning for MJF, and Cole knows how that feels. So he wants to say this: MJF should just consider Samoa Joe’s offer. MJF isn’t sure, Joe almost broke his neck. But he’s gotta find three guys before the main event, and he promises Cole that he will successfully defend their ROH World Tag Team titles at Full Gear.
MJF says he’s got this, and he’ll see Cole around. MJF leaves but then Roderick Strong wheels in shouting, “ADAM~!” Strong can’t believe MJF left mid-conversation. Cole knows Roddy would never do that to him, right? But also, serious question, are we really pretending MJF is not the Devil in that mask? Like, it seems that way to Roddy. Cole sighs and hangs up. But then said Devil is on the screen! If it isn’t MJF, then just what does this person want?
AEW International Championship: Orange Cassidy VS Claudio Castagnoli w/ Wheeler Yuta!
Freshly Squeezed knows the Swiss Superman wants to take this title in place of Jon Moxley while also avenging Bryan Danielson’s broken orbital bone, but for him, it’s whatever. Will Orange still be golden? Or will Claudio beat him to a pulp?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if Cassidy’s second reign is cut short!
The bell rings and Claudio rushes in! Cassidy dodges, fires “devastating” shin kicks but Claudio backs him down. Claudio swings, Cassidy dodges and wheelbarrows, but Claudio blocks to then POWERBOMB! Fans are torn as Claudio hauls Cassidy up to scoop and SLAM! Claudio then runs to DOUBLE STOMP, and BASEMENT BOOT! Claudio eggs Cassidy on, drags him up, and KNEES him low! And again, and again, and again! Claudio has Cassidy in a corner, he knees and UPPERCUTS! Cassidy falls, fans boo, but Claudio drags Cassidy back up. Claudio whips corner to corner, Cassidy goes up and out and bumps Claudio off buckles!
Fans count along and Cassidy goes all the way to TEN! Fans fire up and Cassidy climbs, to CROSSBODY, into a BACKBREAKER! Then Claudio picks Cassidy up to GUTBUSTER! Claudio snarls as he stalks Cassidy and drags him up. Claudio KNEES Cassidy down, then stalks him along the ropes. Claudio kicks Cassidy around, fans boo, and Cassidy flops out of the ring. Claudio puts Cassidy in, but Cassidy rolls all the way to the far side. Fans cheer but Claudio pursues. Claudio drags Cassidy up and into the ring again, but Cassidy starts rolling towards the far side! So Claudio goes in around the outside to CLOBBER Cassidy!
Claudio wags his finger while he stands on Cassidy’s ribs! The ref counts, Claudio scoops Cassidy, but Cassidy slips free to POST Claudio! Cassidy gets in the ring to build speed and DIVE! Direct hit but Cassidy keeps going, and he DIVES, but Claudio catches him! To trophy lift, and SNAKE EYES off the railing! Cassidy writhes from his ribs hitting the railing, and Yuta taunts him! Claudio gives more kicks to Cassidy’s back but the ref has the Blackpool Combat Club back off. Wait, Hook is here! He glares at Yuta while being here for his friend. The ref says no, this is 1v1, so he EJECTS Yuta and EJECTS Hook!
Yuta storms off but he eggs Hook on. Hook storms after Yuta, but Claudio drags Cassidy up. Claudio fireman’s carries, then walks up the steps with Cassidy! He goes up a corner, but Cassidy fires off elbows! Fans fire up as Cassidy adjusts position to SUPER- NO, Claudio holds off the bomb to drag Cassidy right back up! For a stalling SUPERPLEX! Fans are thunderous while Cassidy writhes right out of the ring, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Claudio snarls as he goes out after Cassidy and drags him up. Cassidy throws body shots and a CHOP, but Claudio just brushes that off. Cassidy CHOPS and CHOPS, but Claudio scoops to SNAKE EYES Cassidy off the apron! Claudio stalks Cassidy, puts him in the ring, and he drops an elbow! Cover, TOW, but Claudio keeps Cassidy down with a bearhug. Cassidy endures, fights up, and throws elbows! Cassidy is free, he runs, but into a kitchen sink knee! Claudio drags Cassidy around, he stomps Cassidy in the stomach, then steps on Cassidy as he lets off. Claudio whips Cassidy hard to a corner and Cassidy bounces off buckles.
Claudio storms over, drags Cassidy up from the apron, but Cassidy throws body shots! Claudio still suplexes to hang Cassidy out to dry! And then he gut wrenches Cassidy off the ropes for a suplex! Claudio looms over Cassidy, drags him up, and Dynamite returns to single picture as Cassidy throws forearms! Claudio RAMS Cassidy to a corner! Claudio RAMS and RAMS and RAMS Cassidy again, lets off to taunt Cassidy, and he SLAPS Cassidy. And again! We also get some footage of backstage, things are heating up between Hook and Yuta to the point producers are stepping in to step it. Hook puts his hands on Pat Buck, but that gets Hook ejected from the building!
Yuta continues to talk tough now that Hook is gone, but will Hook make sure to get his hands on Yuta next time? As for in the ring, Cassidy backs Claudio down with forearms! Fans fire up as Cassidy fires off in the corner! Claudio eggs Cassidy on as he backs him down again! Then Claudio TOSSES Cassidy, runs in, but Cassidy dodges and Claudio POSTS himself! Fans fire up, Claudio is stuck and Cassidy DROPKICKS Claudio out of the ring! Claudio flounders around the way while Cassidy kips up! Cassidy builds speed to DIVE, and TORNADO DDTÂ to the floor! Fans fire up again as Cassidy hobbles up.
Cassidy puts Claudio in the ring, then he climbs to DEEP- NO, Claudio blocks the DDT! Claudio pops Cassidy up, but Cassidy STUN DOG MILLIONAIRES! Claudio wobbles, Cassidy runs, tilt-o-whirl and- NO, Claudio turns DDT into GIANT SWING! Fans count along and Claudio speeds up to reach TEN! Then he steps through to the SHARPSHOOTER! Cassidy endures, reaches out, crawls forward, but Claudio drags him away from ropes! Claudio sits deep, but fans fire up as Cassidy still endures! Cassidy fights, slips under, and he throws hands from below! But Claudio powers Cassidy back over to the SHARPSHOOTER!
Cassidy reaches out, but Claudio shifts around to an STF, then a CROSSFACE! Cassidy rolls but Claudio holds on to have the CROSSFACE! Then the RINGS OF SATURN!! Cassidy endures, kicks around, and fans fire up as he powers up! Cassidy makes it a cover, TWO, and Claudio UPPERCUTS Cassidy down! Cover, TWO!! Cassidy survives and Claudio is seething! Claudio sits Cassidy up, for HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! Fans boo but Claudio drags Cassidy up and reels him in. But Cassidy slumps to the mat! Fans cheer but Claudio deadlifts Cassidy!

Cassidy watches Claudio rise, and then he runs in, but into a POP-UP! Cassidy RANAS it!! Cover, CASSIDY WINS!!!
Winner: Orange Cassidy, by pinfall (still AEW International Champion)
Claudio is speechless as he gets caught by Cassidy, but wait! JON MOXLEY is making his way out here! The Maniac gets in the ring, and Cassidy is furious! Cassidy runs in, ORANGE- SPINEBUSTER from Moxley! Moxley throws down furious fists on Cassidy, and even stomps him! Claudio doesn’t even seem to care one way or another as Moxley rains down forearms! Fans are torn, security rushes out, but Moxley swats them away! Claudio grabs one guard to GUT WRENCH SUPLEX him out of the ring! Moxley rains down fists on Cassidy, then BITES him! Claudio drags Moxley back, that is enough for now.
Moxley seethes as he paces around, but clearly he wants the International Championship back. When and where will Moxley go wild on Cassidy in an actual match?
MJF tries his first prospect.
He’s outside Kenny Omega’s room!? They did just have an epic title match on Collision and showed each other massive respect, but… Well, MJF knocks on the door, and Jericho answers it. MJF asks Jericho if Kenny’s in there. Jericho smirks, and slams the door in MJF’s face. MJF figured as much. He walks away, but then WARDLOW grabs him!? Wardlow says MJF took everything from him, and now he will take everything from MJF. When he least expects it. Wardlow laughs and lets MJF go. MJF is mad and he breaks his clipboard. But then someone offers a hand! It’s Max Caster!
Caster asks MJF to let them team with him. MJF frowns and storms off, and Bowens says “Dammit, Max! We hid back here for nothing.” Caster sighs, what will it take to get MJF to accept The Acclaimed’s help?
Jon Moxley speaks backstage.
“Fenix kamikazes himself, sacrifices his own body, just to put me down for three seconds. And Orange Cassidy is there to pick up the scraps. What a story! That was my match, Orange. That was my match. I showed you respect. I showed you respect when nobody else would, and I let you walk out under your own power in Chicago. And you better damn well believe me, I did not have to let you do that. But what did you think was gonna happen, Orange, huh? You were just gonna write me off? You were just gonna write me off like everybody else did?! Like they always do?! I’m sick of you, I’m sick of everybody.
“Right now, I’m not doing too good, so maybe this isn’t even about you. You’re just the wrong guy at the wrong place at the wrong time. Doesn’t matter, either way, at Full Gear, I’m gonna beat you within an inch of your life with my bare hands, and there is not a damn thing you can do about it, just because I can.” The Maniac is ready for a fight, will the fighting champion be up to it?
ROH World Six Man Tag Team Championships: The Hung Bucks VS The Mogul Embassy!
Hangman Page has a score to settle with Swerve Strickland, but the same could be said for Hangman, Matt & Nick having a score to settle with Brian Cage & The Gates of Agony. Will these titles still be with The Elite, THE THE Elite? Or will The Machine, Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona reclaim them for Swerve’s House?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see just who his the good, the bad and the ugly!
The trios sort out, Hangman starts against Kaun, and Hangman fires off on Kaun at the bell! Hangman puts Kaun in a corner, every punch meant for Swerve! The ref counts, Hangman stomps a mudhole into Kaun, then he runs up to BLAST Cage and Liona! Fans fire up and Hangman dodges Kaun to BOOT him down! Cage and Liona get in to much Hangman, double whips, but Hangman duck, then hold ropes. The Bucks get in to DOUBLE DROPKICK! Kaun rushes in again but is put on the apron, for the triangle jump LARIAT! The fans fire up and the Elite then TRIPLE PLANCHA! Direct hit on all of the Embassy!

Hangman BLASTS Cage, then he runs in so he and Nick can LARIAT ENZIGURI COMBO! Matt shouts “SEE YOU IN HELL!” before he and Nick CANNONBALL ENZIGURI COMBO! Louisville fires up as Matt tags Nick, and then Matt and Hangman drag Kaun up. They drape Kaun on the ropes for Nick to SWANTON BOMB! Cover, TWO!
Nick rallies the fans and tags Matt back in as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The Bucks mug Kaun, then Matt brings Kaun around. Kaun knees low, whips Matt to the Embassy corner, but Matt uses that to BLAST Cage & Liona. Kaun runs in but Matt ELBOWS him away! Matt goes up, but Kaun SHOVES him down! Liona CLOBBERS Matt on the outside! Cage tags in, he fetches Matt to APRON BACK SUPLEX!

The ref counts, Cage CHOPS, and Cage follows Matt around to bump him off buckles.
Tag to Liona, Liona RAMS into Matt again and again! Liona scoops Matt to put him on ropes for KNEE after KNEE after KNEE! The ref counts, Liona drops Matt, and he tags Kaun. The Gates mug Matt, Kaun CHOKES him, then lets off. Matt fights his way to the corner but Kaun keeps him back! Fans rally, Matt reaches out but Kaun CLUBS him down! Kaun then DECKS Nick, and he taunts Hangman. Liona gets a cheap shot on Matt before Kaun tags Cage. Cage stomps a mudhole into Matt, then DECKS him! Tag to Linoa and he tags Kaun. The Gates stand Matt up for more stomps, but Matt fights back!
The Gates mug Matt again, tag to Cage and they drag Matt up. ROCK-A-BYE BOMBÂ RANA as Matt counters! Dynamite returns to single picture as the Gates hurry to block Matt from his corner! But Matt dodges, hot tag to Hangman! The Cowboy rallies on the Gates, ROLLING ELBOW for Liona! Hangman whips, Kaun reverses and BOOTS, but Hangman rebounds to LARIAT! Fans fire up but LInoa runs in, only for Hangman to dodge! Hangman clotheslines Liona and himself out of the ring, but Hangman keeps going so he can BOOT Cage! Hangman returns to the ring, and pops Kaun up for a POWERBOMB!
Fans fire up with Hangman and he goes to the apron. Hangman loads but “WHOSE HOUSE?!” Swerve’s here! And Swerve says last week, he was actually at Hangman’s house. Hangman glares at Swerve while he tags Nick in. Hangman storms up the ramp and chases Swerve to the back! The Bucks aren’t sure what to do with this handicap situation, though! Nick fires off on Liona and Cage, then SUPERKICKS Kaun! But Liona grabs Nick to TOSS him to ropes! Liona runs in but Nick dumps him out! SUPERKICK for Cage!

The Gates get Nick up, ROCK-A-BYE BOMB!! Cage flips Nick over to KNEE him, into OPEN THE GATES!!! Cover, The Mogul Embassy wins!
Winners: The Mogul Embassy, by pinfall (NEW ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions)
Swerve just played the Elite like a damn fiddle! But speaking of, Hangman is firing off on Swerve! Security pulls them apart but Hangman vows Swerve is a dead man! Will Hangman tear Swerve’s house down with his bare hands? As for The Bucks, Matt throws his own fit of rage at ringside, hitting everything inanimate with a chair! What is The Elite to do with all this anger ignited inside them?
MJF tries another prospect.
Samoa Joe!? As powerful as Joe is, MJF just can’t bring himself to accept his help. The door next to Joe’s? Darby Allin’s. MJF chuckles, and takes a pen to the sign. He writes “EMO B*TCH” on it and calls Darby a loser. MJF turns around, and holding up a big sign that reads, “MJF PICK US!” is Caster. MJF just walks past them. DAMMIT, MAX! Caster sighs.
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He tells Louisville that some questions need to be answered, so let’s bring out the Rated R Superstar, Adam Copeland! Fans cheer as Edge makes his way entrance, complete with pyro. Edge joins Schiavone in the ring, and Schiavone lets him soak up the fans cheering. It looks like Edge is feeling good, and for good reason. The fans here and around the world love having The Rated R Superstar here. But a week ago, Edge was confronted by Darby & Sting, so what’s he thinking? Edge wants the fans to cheer Schiavone. If we knew all the hats Schiavone wore backstage, we’d probably cheer even louder.
Edge thanks Schiavone, and the fans chant for “TONY! TONY!” Edge says last week Sting got in his face, but he also said they go a long way’s back. And for those who are confused, they actually do. Sting and Edge have had a lot of the same injuries, faced a lot of the same things, and have been ears for each other, sounding boards for each other, and Edge respects the hell out of Sting. Edge also respects Darby, because Darby is one of the linchpins of AEW, one of the foundational pieces of the industry going forward, and if you don’t see that, you’re blind. Fans cheer that!
But Edge also knows we want answers. What’s he gonna do? Is he gonna team with Darby & Sting at Full Gear? Fans sure hope so! But wait, here comes Christian Cage! Captain Charisma, his Right Hand of Destruction, Luchasaurus, and his surrogate son, Nick Wayne, stand on stage, and fans boo as Christian holds up a mic. Christian tells Louisville to shut their mouths while he conducts business. Christian says before Adam gives his answer, he wants to paint a little picture for him. Christian will retire Sting at Full Gear, whether he likes it or not! Fans boo but Christian says we haven’t seen Darby around lately. If you have, you’d notice his gimp arm.
That gimp arm will never be the same after Christian threw Darby on the steel steps at WrestleDream! Fans boo more but Christian says he doesn’t need to remind Adam or anyone of his…Â neck problems. But Christian would hate for the fairytale to become a nightmare, so Edge should just back down right now. Fans boo even more, but Christian says if Adam knows what is good for him, he’ll do it. Or else, Christian will snap his neck! And leave him in a wheelchair, to live the rest of his life undignified! To live the rest of his life with his kids wipe the drool off his face while saying, “Daddy, you used to be somebody.”
Christian feels this isn’t sinking in, so he tells Luchasaurus & Nick to give Edge a preview! The henchmen storm the ring but Edge DECKS Nick! Edge ROCKS Luchasaurus, fires off more shots, but Nick runs up! Edge BOOTS him down, Christian slides in, and the former friends lock eyes. Christian is the one wary now, but Luchasaurus gets in to BLINDSIDE LARIAT! Fans boo and Christian smiles. Christian has Nick top this off, and Nick hits WAYNE’S WORLD! Edge is down, and Christian tells Nick to fetch “them.” Nick goes looking, and he puts chairs in the ring! Christian sets Edge on one, and has the other.
But here comes STIIIING! The Icon storms down, Nick r ushes him but Sting DECKS him! And TOSSES him! And Darby slides in to TACKLE Christian! Edge fires off hands on Luchasaurus, BOOTS him down, and Darby stomps away on Christian! Darby drags Christian up, but Christian fires off on Darby! Christian stomps Darby, but Edge is taking aim! Fans fire up as Edge is fuming! Christian senses something, turns around, SPEAR!!! Edge takes down his friend and he picks up the mic! “You wanna snap my neck!? I’m gonna beat your ass!! It is on, you stupid little sonovab*tch!”
Edge then tells Sting, he was right! If he and Darby want a third man at Full Gear, Edge’s your man! The fans fire up as the Relentless Icons just went Rated R! Will They tear down Christian and his crew in Los Angeles?
Tony Khan has a special announcement.
The President, CEO & General Manager of AEW also has Nigel McGuinness with him, and Nigel says this announcement is for all AEW fans all around the world. Tony says absolutely, and that it has been a great year for AEW. They had their biggest event ever with All In London, selling the most tickets in pro-wrestling history, and it was one of the greatest shows the world has ever seen. It was AEW’s debut in London, England, and in Europe. It was amazing, but even more amazing is that the holiday season is upon us. Though, Tony’s parents had their Christmas tree up since July.
But nevertheless, to start this holiday season off, what better gift to give your wrestling family and friends then a ticket to next year’s AEW All In London, August 25, 2024! Tickets on sale in one month, December 1st! But you don’t even have to wait, get involved and sign up for presale right now! Nigel takes it from here with the link, ticketmaster.co.uk/AEWWEMBLEY2024! Priority and presale access begins November 27th, with emails to everyone that registers. And this past Summer made history, seeing the all-time paid attendance record of 81,035. They hope to rewrite history in 2024 with their return to Wembley!
On a personal note, Nigel being a kid who sat in Wembley over 31 years ago with dreams of becoming a pro-wrestler, this moment was amazing. And with that dream still in his heart, he hopes to see everyone in Wembley next August!
Chris Jericho & Kenny Omega VS Matthew Menard & Angelo Parker w/ Jake Hager!
As if Don Callis’ own betrayal(s) didn’t hurt The Ocho and The Cleaner enough, that worm has recruited Daddy Magic & Cool Hand Ange as mercenaries to do his dirty work! Will the former Jericho Appreciation Society stick it to the Wizard, with the Best Bout Machine as a bonus? Or will the #GoldenJets blast past Ever-Rise to get another shot at Callis?
The teams sort out, but Menard & Parker step to Jericho. Menard shouts that Jericho didn’t know what he had with them! Parker says they were family! Omega talks with Jericho about Omega starting, but then Menard & Parker attack them both! Fans boo, the ref has the bell ring, and the X-JAS kick Omega out to stomp away on Jericho. Menard digs his boot in, the ref counts, but Menard & Parker bring Jericho up. We see Callis and his “family,” Konosuke, Hobbs & Fletcher, on commentary, but Jericho starts firing off CHOPS! Jericho CHOPS Parker down, ROCKS Menard then whips to CLOBBER him!
Jericho storms up on Menard, tags Omega, and they mug Menard. Then they double suplex high and hard! Parker runs in, but the Golden Jets kick and double whip. Parker ducks the double clotheslines but not the DOUBLE SHOULDERS! Omega & Jericho stand tall as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Parker bails out, Menard staggers up, and Omega ROCKS him! And CHOPS him! And CLUBS him! Omega CHOPS Menard again, and again, then whips. Omega runs corner to corner, to back elbow! Omega TOSSES Menard, then PLANCHAS! Down goes Daddy magic! Omega drags Menard up and into the ring, but he stares Hager down. The ref has Hager back off, but Menard CHOP BLOCKS Omega! The ref reprimands, Menard slides into the ring to soak up the heat. Hager & Parker RAM Omega into railing! Parker fires off knees, then hurries away. Omega hobbles into the ring, Menard stomps him down.
Tag to Parker, Menard digs his knee in, and Parker stomps now. The ref reprimands, Parker lets off to bring Omega up. Parker snap suplexes, covers, TWO! Parker drags Omega up, bumps him off buckles, and tags Menard back in. Menard stomps Omega, but Omega BOOTS back! Omega ROCKS Parker, and SLAM DUNKS Menard! Fans rally, Omega reaches out, but Menard drags Omega from Jericho. Omega BOOTS Menard away, Parker tags in and Parker anchors Omega’s feet. Omega KICKS Parker away, crawls, but Menard is back to drag Omega back! Dynamite returns to single picture as Omega throws elbows!
Omega rakes Menard’s eyes, then CHOPS! And HCOPS! And CHOPS! Hot tag to Jericho! Parker tags in but Jericho runs him over! And runs him over again! Parker sends Jericho to the apron but Jericho goes up to AX HANDLE! Fans fire up and Jericho eggs Parker on. Parker stands, Jericho trips him, and turns him over, for the WALLS OF JERICHO! But Menard runs up, only for Jericho to duck, triangle jump and DROPKICK! Fans fire up as Parker runs in, but Jericho bypasses to CODE BREAKER! Cover, Menard breaks it! Omega CLUBS Menard, fires hands with him, but Menard knees low. Menard whips, Omega KICKS back!
Menard swings, Omega gets around, SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX! Hager gets in, but gets a V-TRIGGER! Omega then FLIES to take Hager down! A rough landing for Omega, too, but Jericho CHOPS Parker! And CHOPS again! And CHOPS again! Jericho whips, Parker reverses but Jericho avoids the dropkick! The ref checks on Omega, Jericho goes to ropes, but Menard JAMS Jericho with Floyd the Baseball Bat!! Jericho falls, Parker covers, TWO!!! Jericho survives and fans fire up! Callis will admit, Jericho’s hard to kill. Menard gives Parker the bat! The ref says no, but Jericho dodges the bat to JUDAS EFFECT!! Cover, Jericho & Omega win!
Winners: Chris Jericho & Kenny Omega, by pinfall
Callis is furious that Menard & Parker failed him! He leads his family to the stage so that Callis can speak. “I gotta give you credit, guys. Takeshita destroyed Kenny, hobbs broke Jericho in two, and you guys are still back! You guys are like cockroaches: hard to get rid of. So maybe we need to take it up a notch. Maybe this doesn’t get finished in a wrestling ring. Maybe, maybe, maybe this gets finished on the streets. So if you’ve got the guts, Jericho & Kenny, to face the greatest family in the history of professional wrestling, in a street fight in two weeks in Ontario, California on Dynamite, then step up to the plate, ya dummies!”
Fans boo Callis but Omega has a mic. Jericho says Callis just called them dummies. What’re they gonna do? Omega looks around, and he says, “It sucks walking around this planet being a dummy. I’d hate to be a stupid head or something crazy like that. Listen here, numb nuts. You just said the magic word. You want a Steet Fight? None of this was about playing by the rules! None of this was about winning matches. It was all about hurting me, about hurting Chris. All why? Not for your family, it was all for you! So you wanna Street Fight? Yeah, we accept the Street Fight.
“But we’re not gonna accept it alone. I’ve got someone who’s been through every battle with me by my side. So trust me, you wanna bring your family along? Then we’ve got an extra spot freshly made for Kota Ibushi.” Fans fire up hearing that! Callis says he isn’t a dummy, so he knows by his math, that makes Omega’s side a man short! Well, Omega’s all outta ideas. Can Chris help out? Jericho says, “I look at Will Hobbs right here. The man who completely annihilated me a few weeks ago. And I said, Don, that Will Hobbs is a big, big man, but I’ve got a friend who’s even bigger than Will Hobbs.”
Callis says no! No one is bigger than Will Hobbs! Oh? Maybe not a normal man, but as big as Will Hobbs is… He’s not a giant! Fans fire up because here comes PAUL WIGHT!! The OG Giant is back in the singlet! Fletcher runs up but Wight DECKS him! Jericho smiles as we’re about to see the Golden Lovers and #JeriShow take on the Don Callis Family! Will Dynamite in Ontario, CA be the BIGGEST Dynamite yet?
Backstage interview with Jericho & Kenny.
Renee is backstage with them, the Bucks in the background, and she wants to sum up what just happened. 8 Man Street Fight for Ontario, California, Don Callis and his family against Jericho, Kenny, Ibushi & Wight. What are they feeling going into this? Jericho says what he is feeling is that in two weeks, the Don Callis Family faces not only the Golden Jets but the Golden Star and their new friend, the biggest man in AEW, the biggest man in pro-wrestling, Paul Wight! But then the Bucks walk over and Matt says, “Your friend?” That’s funny, aren’t the Bucks friends with Kenny? But hey, Matt’s not trying to be dramatic, there’s already been enough melodrama here.
Matt’s “not” mad at Omega and he’s “not” mad at Hangman. But at the same time, what was the point of The Elite getting back together if none of them have each other’s backs anymore? But hey, hey, Matt says there’s no heat. But uh, just who invited “this prick” into their locker room? Did they forget what Jericho did to the Jacksons’ dad all those years ago? Because Matt hasn’t. Jericho doesn’t want Matt to take it out on him for losing the ROH Trios titles, okay? They just weren’t good enough tonight, but Jericho & Omega were. Watch your mouth when you talk to him.
Omega steps in and says like him or hate him, Jericho is the enemy of their enemy and all that, okay? They’re allied against Don Callis. Matt says Jericho and Callis are cut from the same cloth and Omega knows it! He’s gonna stab Omega in the back just like Callis did! So hey, enjoy their locker room! Clean up after yourselves, alright? Matt and Nick head out, Jericho finishes chugging his water and drops the bottle. Jericho tells the Bucks to clean it up. But will Omega be able to keep everything together long enough for the scores to be settled?
AEW Women’s World Championship: Hikaru Shida VS Willow Nightingale!
The Shining Samurai made it through Collision’s Fright Night Fight, and is still on the “marquee” for Toni Storm’s Hollywood Homecoming. However, could the role of champion be changed here tonight? Or will even the Babe with the Power fail to dethrone the first and only THREE-TIME AEW Women’s World Champion?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is heading to Hollywood!

It was an action movie slug fest in this one, and Shida survives her breakneck pace these last seven days! Shida shows Willow respect with a handshake, and now Shida’s headed to Hollywood! But speaking of, here comes Toni Storm! Her butler, Luther, has something on a pillow while Toni dramatically spins around. Shida SLAPS the shoe off the pillow, then runs up to TAMASHII Toni on the stage!! Fans fire up as Shida yanks the fur coat off Toni and chases her to the back! Shida’s made it through a horror story and an action movie, will she make her match with Toni a “rise and fall” drama?
Wait, now the lights go out!? And when they come up, JULIA HART is in the ring with Willow! Willow knows it, too, and she turns around to stare Julia down. Julia offers a handshake? Willow says no, but wait! SKYE BLUE is here now! Skye and Julia stare down. Julia nods, and Skye turns around to stare Willow down!? But then Skye turns around to BLUE MIST Julia!! Julia gets a taste of her own medicine! Julia shouts, “Curse you!!” but it would seem her spell didn’t work on Skye the way she wanted! Will Skye beat the Lady of the House at her own games?
MJF sits and sulks backstage.
He looks at his list, and it seems he hasn’t found anyone to team with. But then The Acclaimed walk over. Billy chuckles as he asks, “Still no luck?” Yeah… Bowens says, “DAMMIT MAX! No one likes you.” Except for Caster. And honestly, not sure why MJF didn’t just pick them in the first place, since EVERYONE loves The Acclaimed! Caster says that’s right, and if MJF teams with them, well, it’s under two conditions. One: scissor them. Two: wear what’s in this bag. MJF looks inside and he says NO! NO NO NO! They will NEVER tag! And joke’s on you! He has one last group on his list! So get outta here!
The Acclaimed move on, and MJF takes a deep breath. That last group: TRIPLE J! Jeff Jarrett says, “Max, we’re here to help.” Sonjay Dutt & Satnam Singh each say, “C’mon. C’mon, baby.” MJF is stuck between a rock and a hard place, is he really going to choose these carnies over the AEW World Trios Champions?
Backstage interview with The Kingdom.
Roddy shouts “RENEE~!” as he wheels back on screen, and Renee gets bopped by Matt Taven’s stuffed giraffe (not a euphemism). Roddy can’t believe that. Mike Bennett has the phone for Roddy and he speed dials Adam Cole. “ADAM~! HEY, ADAAM~!” Roddy, Cole can hear you, you don’t need to yell. Oh, sorry, dude. But anyway, can you believe MJF didn’t even attempt to ask The Kingdom to help? Even after Roddy’s been so nice to him! What a jerk, huh? Cole tells Roddy to shut the hell up! WHAT?! ADAAAM~!! Cole hangs up again and Mike tries to redial. Is Roddy going to push things too far?

High Stakes 8 Man Tag: Bullet Club Gold VS MJF & ???
The Switchblade stole the Triple B to not just mess with MJF, but to goad him into giving him the title match at Full Gear. But now, the Bang Bang Gang is looking to add insult to injury by beating MJF down while still holding onto the AEW World Championship. But will this be 4v1? Or will even all four fail to plan on the level of The Devil?
Wait! THE ACCLAIMED is making their entrance?! MJF chose them over Triple J! Caster has a diss track on deck! “Acclaimed on the mic tonight to fix ya egos! Runnin’ y’all outta this town like Rick Patino! Switchblade, B*tch Maid, probably in a piss phase, tit-faced. Made o’ tofu, not strip steak! Wait, how’d I forget Juice is here. Every cubic square’s covered in his p*bic hair! Bullet Club is not bad boys. Just some New Japan rejects and the Ass Boys!” Bowens takes the mic to say, “LOUISVIIIILLE~! The Acclaimed have arrived! SCISSOR ME, DADDY ASS~!” And he DOES! But wait, where is MJF? He’s the one who accepted their help, right?
Oh, wait, here he comes! And per the deal, he’s wearing hot pink and a pink Burberry scarf! Fans fire up as MJF is now matching his teammates, will they make it work to get back Triple B?
The teams sort out, White keeps taunting MJF the entire time, and fans sing “OH~ Scissor Me, Daddy!” But in the end, MJF does start against the Stray Bullet. But MJF says he doesn’t want Juice, he wants that POS, Jay White!! Fans fire up for that, but Juice obliges and he tags in White! We get a Full Gear preview, but then White runs away as MJF rushes up! The fans boo as the BCG has to protect their leader. The ref backs MJF off, MJF waits on White, but then Juice tags back in. MJF tags Bowens and Bowens circles with Juice. The fans taunt the “ASS~ BOYS!” Juice and Bowens tie up, Juice headlocks but Bowens powers out, only for Juice to run him over!
Juice runs, Bowens drops to hurdle to then mule kick! Front kick! Then Bowens runs to KOTARO KRUSHER! Fans fire up with Bowens, and he says Rock Paper Scissors before he fires off his strike fest! Bowens DECKS Juice, then shouts “EVERYONE Loves The Acclaimed!” Juice flounders, Austin tags in, and he calls out “The birthday boy,” his DAD! Fans fire up and Bowens tags Billy in! The Ass Boy talks trash on Daddy Ass, but Billy gets him for a headlock! Austin powers out, things speed up, and Austin hurdles, but Billy blocks the arm-drag to whip Austin. Austin ducks ‘n ‘dodges and tries to trip Billy, but Billy’s too big for that!
Austin avoids Billy’s elbow drop, throws JAB after JAB, then does his dance, only for Billy to DECK him! Colten runs in, Billy DUCKS him, too! Billy tells his boys to “SUCK IT!” Billy drags Austin up, but Austin gets away to tag in White! White tells everyone to settle down. Then he says how DARE Billy hit his own sons! White flexes on Billy, calls for a test of strength, but then he kicks low! White tells Billy to “SUCK IT!” White CHPOS, but Billy just frowns. Billy CHOPS White down! Billy tags in MJF and fans go nuts! White bails out, the ref has to stop MJF from going after them! White keeps Triple B away from MJF!
The BCG regroup on the outside, but the Acclaimed get in to tell MJF, time to scissor finger! MJF signs but the fans are thunderous! MJF goes back to the corner and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
MJF tags Bowens, White returns to tag Colten. Colten and Bowens circle, but then Bowens fires off haymakers! But Colten dodges to ROCK Bowens! And DROPKICK him! The BCG celebrate as Colten drags Bowens over and tags in Austin. Austin drags Bowens up to bump off buckles and stomp a mudhole in! Austin taunts The Acclaimed, tags White, and White taunts MJF. The ref has to keep MJF back, White gets Bowens’ leg and hits a DRAGON SCREW! And then GROUND DRAGON SCREW! White tags Juice, they dig their boots in, but the ref counts. Juice lets off at 4, and then distracts the ref so the Gunns can get their shots in!
Juice taunts Caster, but turns around into a HAYMAKER from Bowens! Juice dropkicks a leg out! Tag to White, he stomps Bowens down, then White taunts MJF. White drags Bowens up to snapmare and chinlock. White grinds Bowens down but Bowens endures. Fans rally, Dynamite returns to single picture, but White CHOPS Bowens to the corner. Tag to Colten, he bumps Bowens off buckles. Colten whips corner to corner, runs in, but Bowens dodges the splash! Bowens tags Billy, and they double whip Colten to DOUBLE ELBOW, then SCISSOR FINGER~ ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! The BCG shout at Billy, but Billy BLASTS them off the apron!
Billy scoops and SLAMS Colten, and fans fire up as Billy tags Caster. Bowens goes up while Caster and Billy get the legs. They hold Colten open for SCISSOR ME TIMBERS! The Acclaimed all raise the scissors, MJF sighs and hops in, but then The BCG drag the Acclaimed all out to send into railing! Fans boo, they put Caster back in for Colten to bump off buckles, and Colten stomps a mudhole. Fans chant “Let Them Scissor!” Colten tells MJF to “SUCK IT!” then he drags Caster up. Tag to White and they mug Caster. White CHOPS Caster down then taunts everyone with the scissors. White TOSSES Caster out, but the ref tells BCG to stay back.
MJF rushes in but White gets away! The BCG get shots in on Caster as the ref has to keep MJF back. They put Caster in for White to cover, TWO! White TOSSES Caster back out, distracts the ref, and again the Gunns get shots in on Caster. The ref has to keep Billy back now, but Juice puts Caster back in. White drags Caster to another cover, TWO! Caster is still in this but White covers again, TWO! Another cover, TWO!! White stomps Caster, CHOPS him down, then pushes him out. Again White distracts the ref, but this time MJF, Bowens and Billy get at the BCG! Fans fire up as the tables have turned! But then Colten throws Bowens into railing! And he CLUBS Billy!
Juice & Colten whip Billy hard into railing! Then they whip Bowens over railing! And they POST Billy! White says “SUCK IT!” but MJF seethes and glares at him. White taunts MJF, stalks Caster, and fans rally up. White has Caster’s arm and mockingly scissors the fingers before he stomps Caster down. White supelxes, Caster slips free, but White tries again! Back supelx, but Caster lands out! Hot tag to MJF!! Fan sifr eup, White runs away but MJF rallies on the rest of the Bang Bang Gang! Forearms, lariats, elbows, and a scoop SLAM for Juice! Scoop SLAM for Austin! Scoop SLAM for Colten! Fans are thunderous, and MJF glares at White.
White realizes he’s alone, and he runs from MJF! MJF chases him down, they go around the ring, then into the ring! Austin CHOP BLOCKS MJF! The Gunns get MJF up, double whip, and 3:10- NO, MJF BOOTS Austin and DDTS Colten! Then he takes his Kangaroo Stance! Juice & Austin stand up, into the KANGAROO KICK!! Fans are thunderous again but White sneak up on MJF! BLADERUNNER!!! Cover, BCG wins!!
Winners: Bullet Club Gold, by pinfall (keeps Triple B from MJF)
It was chaos to finish, and that is just how White likes it! White pins MJF tonight, will he do that again when the title is actually on the line? But wait, they’re not done! BCG drags MJF up, but The Acclaimed return! They beat down The BCG, run Juice & The Gunns out of the ring, but White still has the belt! White aims at MJF, MJF crawls and drags himself up, but Caster gets in! BELT SHOT to Caster!! White hits the wrong Max, and then he runs away before MJF can get him! MJF, Bowens & Billy check on Caster, and now MJF is even angrier! As if that was possible with how White’s been acting lately.
MJF goes back to Caster, and Caster holds up the scissors! MJF slaps those down, and Billy says dammit, MJF, how dare you!? After all Caster’s done for MJF, he can’t treat him like that! Fans chant for the scissor fingers, and then MJF throws them up!? He means it!? Caster, Bowens & Billy also take corners, and they GROUP SCISSOR~!! MJF is still learning, but he may have just made a new friend after all. He still pushes Caster’s hug away, maybe it’s a baby step kinda thing. But with White still in physical possession of the AEW World Championship, is the only way MJF gets that back be by winning at Full Gear?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite, even with it all going about how I figured it would. Cassidy opening with the International Championship is always a great time, and while the match was great, I figured Cassidy would retain to then set up a match with Moxley. That’s going to be awesome stuff for Full Gear, and I would think Moxley wins to get back on track with this title. At the same time, I really like them teasing Hook VS Yuta, that is going to be great stuff, too. And while they threw the ROH World Six Man titles onto here outta nowhere, I had a feeling something would happen to cost the Hung Bucks those belts. Hangman VS Swerve for Full Gear is going to be awesome.
Great bit with Matt losing his cool, this adds a little bit of something to where the Bucks even are in all these different stories. Omega & Jericho of course beat Menard & Parker, and of course Paul Wight, formerly The Big Show, was who Jericho was referring to last week. An 8 Man Street Fight is going to be great stuff for the go-home to Full Gear, and I would think The Golden JeriShow finds a way to win, unless Sammy Guevara shows up to then turn things into 5v4. And great stuff from Edge to set up the Six Man Tag that was always gonna happen. Fans wanted to see Edge spear Christian, he did, and there’s still time to have the go-home math still favor Edge, Sting & Darby for Full Gear.
Tony Khan’s big announcement wasn’t that big, but it is still cool that early sales for the All In London tickets is happening. Great women’s title match that was a bit outta nowhere, and of course Shida retained. I loved her running Toni down on the stage, though. And I actually dig that swerve Skye pulled on Julia. It was seeming obvious that Skye would join Julia so for her to be against Julia instead is good stuff. And really good matches made for Rampage and Collision. That Lucha del Dia de Los Muertos is going to be the best thing on that Rampage card, since you know Gunns win to have momentum going into Full Gear.
And of course, great stuff all night from MJF trying to find teammates. They hit upon all the different parts of the larger MJF story, which gave us great stuff from Roddy & The Kingdom, too. Roddy is getting on Cole’s nerves, that is going to be good stuff when Cole’s foot is back to 100%. And nice little tease of MJF being stuck between Triple J and The Acclaimed. Given that choice, of course MJF chose The Acclaimed, and we got a great 8 Man Tag. I guess MJF had to lose here to not get the literal belt back so that go-home math would still be in his favor, but fans got the great closing moment of MJF doing scissor finger with The Acclaimed.
My Score: 8.8/10

Jameson has the mic to tell al the fat morons and skinny idiots to shut up! He introduces himself and the Savages and says that you can see, they have new gear and the best gear ahead of Full Gear. But with no match set, they’ll beat The House of Black to take their spot in the contender series and win those tag titles themselves! Because they are the Iron Savages! Sippin’ sauce, livin’ hoss, and taking all the low T meat riders to #TiddyCity! The fans boo and The House isn’t even affected. The teams sort out, and Brody steps to Boulder.

A dominant win from former AEW World Trios Champions, but which two will step forward to face FTR in the Full Gear Contenders Series? Will it be the end for the #TopGuys? But speaking of, here they come! The fans fire up as Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler are here in Providence! They have mics, and Malakai asks what they can do for FTR. Cash says he sees Buddy puffed up, just calm down. They’ve had ladder matches, cage matches, and taken years off their careers. This is just business. Dax Harwood says over the last four and a half years, Dax has made it his life’s mission to be AEW World Tag Team Champion.
Those belts have been put above their bodies, above their health, above their family, and even above God. But nothing changes except for the obstacles. Right now, The House is their obstacle. On the backs of FTR, on the backs of The House of Black, they built Collision. The fans cheer that. But for the first time ever on a Dynamite, House of Black VS the absolute best team on the planet, FTR! The one question is: Who’s it gonna be? Malakai & Brody step up! The fans cheer and Malakai tells FTR, “Good luck.” The Top Guys push past the Kings of the Black Throne, but will Dax & Cash be able to push through to Full Gear?
Lio Rush speaks.
“You don’t think that I see what’s going on around here? You don’t think that i feel it? There’s a shift happening. And we’re all a part of it. You see, there’s a reoccurring theme with me being All Elite again, and it’s that my past is creeping up on me, forcing to make a decision. Which is why I’ve held on to this.” The card from MVP! This is a golden ticket. What this is is a decision that he must make with people who like conducting business in a way he used to agree with. MVP, Shelton Benjamin, and his guy, Bobby Lashley. If you’ve been paying attention, you saw Lio beat Ariya Daivari last week and Lio beat Komander on Rampage.
Lio is here tonight, ready to be on fire. He feels great, but wants to feel greater. He wants to feel alive again! Which is why on Dynamite, Lio is calling out Swerve! Knock knock, open up> The Man of the Hour is back around. Lio smiles, but will he regret visiting Swerve’s House?
Private Party is here!

Presuming Roderick Strong even wins tonight against The Beast Mortos, his third match in the “MJF Chase” has been decided! It will be against The Don Callis Family’s Lance Archer, in a FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE match! Will the Savior of the Backbreaker make it through these trials of body and mind to make it to Full Gear? On top of that, a report comes in that Jon Moxley and the Death Riders are going to SEIZE the TBS SuperStation?! Just what gives this rogue AEW World Champion the authority to do that? Plus, we hear from Bobby Lashley ahead of his match with Swerve Strickland at Full Gear, and we hear from Will Ospreay after his shocking return last Wednesday night.
The Acclaimed speak.
Max Caster starts off with a “Yo, listen.” Anthony Bowens says they have requested this time because they wanna speak directly to LFI. Next week, Albany, Collision, the Contender Series, Caster & Bowens take their next step back to where they belong and that is the AEW World Tag Team Championships! So FYI, LFI, they’ll whip your ass! That’s right! Time to go eye to eye with the Best Wrestler Alive! So here’s a word of advice from the Handsome Heavyweight, the Bilingual Badass, Platinum Max! “Donde esta ustedes cajones? Where are your balls?” Because they’re dealing with- The Hurt Syndicate steps in!
Montel Vontavious Porter shakes his head and can’t believe Caster’s going on about balls and scissoring. What is wrong with him? How long has it been since they’ve held championships? Don’t they wanna be taken serious? Look at Caster’s father, an all pro NFL Super Bowl champion! Caster saw that big shiny ring growing up, so doesn’t he want the big shiny belt? Bowens says ENOUGH! MVP has Lashley & Shelton stand down. Bowens tells them that just because Billy Gunn isn’t here, doesn’t mean they can say whatever they want to The Acclaimed. And secondly, they aren’t interested. Bowens goes but MVP says he knows Caster still has the card.
Caster leaves, and MVP tells Shelton that they can’t just kill everybody. Shelton asks why not. Lashley says at least hit them in the mouth. But will The Hurt Syndicate soon be adding some platinum to the mix?
Roderick Strong VS The Beast Mortos!
Adam Cole is 2-0 in his MJF Chase, and this will be round two for the Savior of the Backbreaker. But it’s against “his boy,” who he still wants to join The Undisputed Kingdom. But will the menacing minotaur prove Jake The Snake is right? Is Mortos LFI 4 Life? Or can Roddy break through to him with a win?

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

Mone bails, but will she still have those belts by the end of the year?
La Faccion Ingobernable is backstage.
Jake The Snake follows Rush y Dralistico but they tell cameramen to move aside. Rush asks Mortos what’s wrong with him. How could he lose to Roddy? Did he forget what LFI is about?! They’re to show no mercy on anyone! Roddy is not your friend! He is not your familia! LFI is all that! So forget the Kingdom! They have a grand opportunity next week! Show him who you are! Mortos is riled up again, and Jake says some people, you just don’t piss off. LFI are those people. And Acclaimed, you’re just a bunch of squirrels playing around, trying to find a nut. No nuts here, you’ll get more than you can handle.
And remember one thing and one thing only: If you mess with the bull, you get the horns! Will Mortos & Dralistico destroy the hopes of Caster & Bowens without a second thought? Or will they get hit with that Mic Drop?
AEW TNT Championship: Jack Perry VS Action Andretti!
With The Young Bucks abandoning The Elite, The Scapegoat has put it on himself to push his twisted idea of progress forward. He has Daniel Garcia breathing down his throat, yet he goes to Lowell, Massachusetts just to call out Yota Tsuji. And now, he put this open challenge out, only for it to be answered in an instant. Will Jack Perry be able to keep up with everything he’s taking on? Or will this match be a Sight to See?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is ready to make a sacrifice!

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

Lexy is now with Mansoor & Mason Madden, and brings up this new sort of “collaboration” with Johnny TV. It seems there is an update? Yes, that’s right, “Lexington.” Mansoor says “Johnathon Television” requested they slide into his DMs and that is exactly what they did. Mansoor’s message requested Johnny join them in a Trios match for next week’s Collision. His reply? We’re waiting for it. Oh, okay, he’s read it. The three dots are here! And Johnny says… He already has a match with Daniel Garcia. Darn it. But wait, there’s more! They can come with him ringside! That’s great! What about the pic Mason sent him?

The fans fire up as Freshly Squeezed is back, much to Moxley’s surprise!
Cassidy marches right to ringside, and he stares Moxley down from across the way. Yuta also glares at Cassidy, but Kyle rolls Yuta up! TWO!! Yuta escapes but ends up in an ANKLE LOCK!! Moxley seethes, but Pac is back! SUPERKICK to Kyle! KYLE HOLDS ON! Ishii whips, Pac grabs ropes, but Ishii LARIATS Pac up and out! Ishii storms out after Pac but Claudio sends him into railing! Claudio drags Yuta to safety but Mark WRECKS Claudio with kicks! Mark runs at Claudio, but Claudio TOSSES Mark up and over railing! Kyle still has Yuta’s foot!

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

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

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

That was a crash landing for Beef, and now Top Flight is flying high going into Collision! But just as important, they show respect to JD & Beef. Will Dante & Darius earn their golden tickets to the tag title Fatal 4 Way? Or will The Outrunners be the ones kicking it into Full Gear?
Lio Rush now makes his entrance, having sat back waiting on his main event match. The Bad Child nods respect to his team, but will he be following in their footsteps tonight? Or will he end up 0-2 against the Commander of the Skies?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
It is official! Jake The Snake is going to make The Beast Mortos send his message to Roderick Strong. Will Mortos win to not only make Roddy stop recruiting him, but to also ruin Roddy’s chances of facing MJF at Full Gear? Or will Roddy be the one to proverbially kill two birds with one stone? Then, ahead of facing FTR on Dynamite, The House of Black is back in trios action! Will The Iron Savages meet the end at the hands of Brody, Buddy & Malakai? Plus, Kris Statlander survived the vehicular manslaughter attempt from Kamille & Mercedes Mone, and she’ll be back in action already! Will the #BornAgainKristen show nothing can keep her down?
Speaking of action, Action Andretti is looking for redemption of his own as he accepts Jack Perry’s TNT Championship Open Challenge! Will the Sight to See becoming the Face of TNT? Or will he just be a sacrifice for “the greater good?”

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