Jon Moxley & Wheeler Yuta VS #OrangeHook!
The Maniac wants that International Championship back, and Freshly Squeezed wants to feel he truly has it back. Will the Blackpool Combat Club be rolling into Full Gear at full speed? Or will they regret asking AEW to #SendOrangeHook?

Winners: Jon Moxley & Wheeler Yuta, by pinfall
The Decoder has a pin on the FTW Champion! A lot of assists from The Maniac, though. Will things be different when Yuta has to fight Hook 1v1? Moxley gets a mic to tell Cassidy, “You are nothing. You ain’t never been nothing. This weekend at Full Gear, I’m gonna put the world back on its axis. It’s time for a course correction. I’m gonna grind you into dust and walk out International Champion! And there is not a damn thing you can do to stop me!” The Maniac withstood an Orange Punch, is he right that Cassidy has nothing that can take him down?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
Schiavone brings up that this Saturday at Full Gear, it will be a TEXAS DEATHMATCH, and it will be brutal. We have a face to face right now, but neither man can attack the other. If there is, BOTH men will be suspended for the rest of 2023, zero tolerance! That means the match would be called off. So with that in mind, first out, Prince Nana and Swerve Strickland! The Mogul Embassy’s masterminds make their way, Nana doing that dance to Swerve’s theme. Schiavone then introduces Hangman Adam Page! The Cowboy storms right down to the ring, “Madder’n Hell” as the lower third describes, and all for good reason.
Hangman and Swerve get face to face, and Swerve grins. Schiavone reminds them of the No Physicality Clause and the consequences. So the question first goes to Swerve: How can you justify going to another man’s house- Swerve takes the mic but then Hangman snatches it from Swerve! Hangman says he’ll answer! Why did Swerve break into Hangman’s house? Because Swerve is a COWARD! A FRAUD! A PHONY! Swerve is a worthless waste of human life and a Grade A dumbass! He is dumber today than he was yesterday, and certainly dumber than two years ago, when his ass got fired! Fans feel that one!
And Swerve told Hangman that he wanted to be world champion? That he was the kind of man that people think Hangman is? Hangman looks at Swerve, and what he sees is that Swerve doesn’t have it in him. Swerve can’t cut it. Swerve is NOT the man that he thinks he is, it is why his fiancée left him, and why his kids won’t even talk to him! Fans are all fired up and Swerve is squirming but Nana keeps him back. Hangman tells Swerve that he is the one who wanted this. Swerve is a COWARD. He doesn’t surround himself with family or friends, but with Yes Men like Brian Cage & The Gates of Agony. And if he wasn’t such a dumbass, he’d realize Nana was just using him!
Nana defends he isn’t but Hangman says Nana comes out here, does his funny little dance (the fans cheer that), sells the merchandise, and he makes his living off Swerve’s back. When the show’s over, Nana goes out to the parking lots and buys weed from high school kids. Nana says no he does not! But after Hangman beats Swerve’s ass, he’s beating Nana’s ass and taking that weed. No he’s not! Wait, does that mean he does buy weed? The fans chant “Steal His Weed!” Hangman tells Swerve to look at him! Not only is Swerve not the man he thinks he is, he is practically a CHILD! And Hangman worked with kids for a long, and taught them a lot of lessons.
This Saturday, Hangman teaches Swerve the last lesson of his pathetic life. Hangman teaches Swerve that he should’ve never, ever broken into his house. And they don’t need lawyers or cops, because at Full Gear, Hangman is the judge, jury and executioner. And Hangman will take Swerve to spend an eternity in Swerve’s House, at the bottom of HELL! Hangman drops the mic, fans chant “COWBOY SH*T!” but Hangman picks the mic back up. He forgot to mention that tonight’s stipulation was that they couldn’t lay hands on each other. But Nana, they didn’t say s*it about them! So Hangman DECKS Nana!!
Hangman fires hands and Swerve’s hands are basically tied! Security rushes in to save Nana and Swerve gets Nana outta there! Hangman DECKS the security detail, then throws off his leather jacket. Swerve and Nana watch as Hangman hits a BUCKSHOT on the security guards! Hangman fired all the shots tonight, not giving Swerve a chance to even respond! Will actions speak louder than words when Swerve and Hangman go to the utmost extreme at Full Gear?
Backstage interview with Roderick Strong & The Kingdom.
Lexi Nair is with the #NeckStrong ambassadors and says after what we’ve witnessed these past few weeks, they’re claiming to know the true identity of “The Devil?” Roddy does. And he needs to tell his best friend. Call him! Matt Taven dials and puts it on the screen. It’s “ADAAAM!” Adam Cole is annoyed as he must again FaceTime on TV. Roddy asks if Cole saw his match on Collision. Yes, Cole did see that match. Yeah, Roddy sure did great, he knows. But to the subject at hand. Roddy knows who The Devil is for sure, 100%! It is still MJF. Taven & Bennett agree, but Cole tells them that they need to stop.
Cole has a lot going on but he is so tired of this. MJF is NOT the Devil. In fact, with all these accusations Roddy keeps throwing out, how do we know Roddy isn’t The Devil? The Kingdom & Roddy all get very defensive right now, and Cole is not seeing what they’re seeing. Right now, on Roddy’s life, MJF is The Devil. Well, okay, Cole’s gonna get going. Cole hangs up, Roddy shouts “ADAAAM!” Why won’t Cole listen to him? Is it because Roddy is completely wrong about Maxwell Jacob Friedman?
AEW TBS Championship Qualifier: Skye Blue VS Red Velvet!
While Chicago Skye has been resisting Julia Hart’s control, she has still been embracing that darker side to her own benefit. And now she has a chance to join Julia in the TBS Championship Triple Threat set for this Saturday. Will Kris Statlander have to face two former friends in one match? Or will Velvet stir it up and change the recipe?
The bell rings and the two stare down. Velvet and Skye circle, tie up, and Skye wrenches to a wristlock. Velvet rolls, kips and wrenches back. Fans rally, Skye scowls as she works on a counter. Skye cartwheels, wrenches and headlocks. Skye grinds Velvet, shifts sides, hammerlocks then waistlocks. Velvet switches, Skye switches back, but Velvet bucks the O’Conner. We see Kris watching backstage as Skye runs up but into a mule kick. Velvet then goes up and CROSSBODIES! Velvet runs but into an arm-drag! Skye runs up, but into an arm-drag! Velvet runs up again, but she blocks Skye’s arm-drag! Fans cheer and Velvet wags her finger.
Skye stand sup, stares down with Velvet again, and it starts to creep Velvet out. Skye whips Velvet to ropes, drops down, but Velvet blocks the dropkick to STANDING MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO! Velvet drags Skye up, bumps her off buckles, and fires body shots! The ref counts, Velvet lets off, but fans fire up as Velvet stomps and digs her boot in! Velvet does the splits and the ref counts, but Velvet lets off. Velvet snapmares Skye to then basement dropkick! Cover, TWO! Velvet keeps cool while Skye bails out. Velvet rallies the fans and builds speed, only for Skye to get on the apron. Velvet slows down and throws a shoulder, but Skye blocks! APRON DDT!

The ref reprimands but Skye whips, only for Velvet to reverse! Skye hits the steel steps! Velvet then storms up, but Skye SMACKS her off the top of the steps! Velvet slumps back down but Skye drags her back up to CHOP against the apron! Skye swaggers around a bit, shoves Velvet into the ring, and she stomps Velvet down! Cover, TWO! Velvet hangs tough but Skye rains down fists and forearms! Velvet hits back but Skye just rains down more shots! Skye storms around but Velvet throws more shots! Velvet CHOPS Skye, Skye CLUBS Velvet, and then Skye puts Velvet in a corner. Skye digs her boot in and mocks the stir-it-up.
The ref counts. Skye lets off, and she runs side to side to BOOT WASH Velvet down! Skye drags Velvet up, snap suplexes and covers, TWO! Skye is annoyed, but she stomps Velvet down. Skye rains down more shots, then dribbles Velvet off the mat! The ref reprimands, Skye lets off, and Velvet hits back! Velvet CHOPS, and CHOPS, and then pushes Skye down for stomps! Velvet goes to a corner, climbs, but Skye CLUBS her first! Dynamite returns to single picture as Skye tucks Velvet in! CHEEKY NANDOS! And we all know Skye is very cheeky! Skye then brings Velvet off the corner, but Velvet RANAS out of the bomb! Cover, TWO!!
Skye sunset flips, TWO! Velvet sits on it, ONE! Skye has it, ONE! Velvet has it, ONE! ONE! ONE! ONE! Again and again and again, they go back and forth! Velvet hooks deeper this time, TWO!! Skye and Velvet stand, DOUBLE ROUNDHOUSES take them both down! The fans are fired up as the standing count begins. Both women are still down at 5 of 10, but Velvet goes to ropes. Skye goes to a corner, staggers around, but Velvet CLOBBERS her! And again! Velvet keeps moving, and she wheelbarrows to BULLDOG! Fans fire up with Velvet more as she runs, to DOUBLE KNEE Skye against the ropes!
Velvet YANKS ropes to snap Skye back, but Skye avoids the screw kick! CODE- NO, Velvet pops free of Code Blue to wheelbarrow again! But into SKYE FALL!! Cover, TWO?!? Velvet survives and shocks Skye! Skye snarls, kicks Velvet around, and then she runs. But Velvet blocks the rope shining wizard, for a FALLING BOMB! High stack, TWO!! Skye survives and Velvet grows frustrated. “This is Awesome!” as Skye goes to a corner. Velvet runs in, but into an elbow! Skye goes up, but Velvet ROCKS her first! Velvet climbs, throws hands, but Skye hits back. Velvet says hush, and she CHOPS Skye! Velvet goes up, to SUPER VICTORY ROLL TOSS!!! Velvet hurries to cover, TWO?!?!
No one can believe Skye survives, but Velvet hauls her up. Mule kick and JUST- NO, Skye slips out of the Desserts to swing on Velvet. Velvet dodges to waistlock, Skye switches to roll Velvet up, but Velvet rolls through. Skye SUPERKICKS! And then CODE- NO, Velvet SUPERKICKS! Velvet kicks the legs out, takes aim, FINAL- NO, Skye blocks! KNEE and hop, CODE BLUE!! Cover, Skye wins!
Winner: Skye Blue, by pinfall (advances to Full Gear)
Things got hot in the kitchen, but Skye made it through! Will Skye use all this darkness to finally shine with gold? Julia Hart is also watching, will the House Always Win? Or will Kris continue to prove she’s the Galaxy’s Greatest?
PROGRAMMING REMINDER for this Friday!
With Full Gear on Saturday, where’s Collision going to go? Right before Rampage, that’s where! Collision at 8 Eastern, Rampage at 10 Eastern like always, and then the Countdown to Collision special at 11! Make sure your DVR is set so you don’t miss any of the action!
Miro speaks.
“What I said would happen is coming true. I love that woman, but she’s bringing in the storm. She wants gold and fame and fortune, and all these things that drag her under. And for years, I stood by and let her do what she wanted. But my eyes have been open for awhile now. The truth is, CJ doesn’t just bring out the worst in herself, she brings the worst out of me, too. And this week, Collision, Daniel Garcia will be the one to find out more than anybody else in this world, because I bring out the worst in me, Daniel. Can’t wait to see you dance. Because you will dance at the beginning. But you will be peaceful at the end.
“Now let The Redeemer give you a bit of advice. I don’t pray to God anymore, but you definitely should. This is the word of The Redeemer.” Miro has issued his warning, will the Dragonslayer heed it?
RJ City is backstage.
RJ is with Mariah May, and they’re outside the room of “Not Toni Storm” as he says he came through on his promise. This is going to be a wholesome fan-meets-role-model moment, how is she feeling? Mariah is so excited! Well, then go ahead. Mariah knocks on the door, Luther opens the door to shout, “Madame is indisposed!” Also the black ‘n’ white filter happens. Luther then slams the door shut, the filter goes away, and RJ says hold on. RJ knocks, Luther opens the door again and before Luther can say anything, RJ explains at incredible speed that he promised Mariah could meet Toni. Luther says fine, and Mariah steps inside.
Toni Storm lounges with a cucumber facemask. Luther speaks to Madame Storm but she says if it’s Mr. Powers, tell him they have the right film. But then Mariah speaks up and says she is a huge fan! She’s so wanted to be in the same company as her! Storm says nice to meet you, but she’s not doing autographs. They shake hands and Mariah tries to explain, she’s not just some fan. She’s a fellow wrestler! She just came from Stardom, just like Storm! And after everything Storm did there, and with everything Storm’s doing here, Mariah loves her! Didn’t catch a word of that. And let go of her hand already. Can’t you see she’s indisposed?!
Mariah says of course, so sorry! Just, if you need anything, let her know. Mariah leaves, and Storm tells Luther to call Mr. Khan. Book her a tune-up match for Friday. And fetch her a loofah. Storm goes back to resting, will she use her fangirl, Mariah, as a way to prepare for Hikaru Shida?
Samoa Joe VS Jon Cruz!
The once King of Wrestling Television abdicated that throne because he wants to fully commit to hunting down the AEW World Championship. Will Joe’s appetite be satisfied soon enough? Will Serpentico’s good pal, #HUMAN, end up an appetizer?
The bell rings, Joe and Cruz circle and they tie up. They’re in a deadlock, but only because Joe stays put as Cruz tries to push him. Cruz lets off, says okay, and he kicks. Joe blocks! And again! And again! And again, and again, and again! Cruz nods, runs, but Joe BOOTS him down! Joe then JABS, JABS and JABS! Joe backs Cruz down with punches and sits him down in the corner. The ref counts, Joe lets off, and fans fire up. Joe whips Cruz corner to corner, BACK ELBOWS and PELES! Cruz falls and fans fire up as Joe looms over him. Joe hauls Cruz up, whips him to a corner, and runs in. Cruz dodges and Joe hits buckles!
Cruz goes up, leaps, but Joe just moves. Cruz even had time to shrug and ask why! Joe runs to LARIAT! And COQUINA CLUTCH!! Cruz taps, Joe wins!
Winner: Samoa Joe, by submission
Fans chant for “JOE! JOE! JOE!” but he gets a mic to speak. “My name is Samoa Joe.” Fans chant for “JOE! JOE! JOE!” some more but Joe says, “And I come from Southern California.” Fans cheer again! Joe tells MJF that since they’re in Joe’s hood, Joe again extends his offer of “friendship.” And trust Joe, time is running out. MJF finds out that, Joe’s friendship or not, this is Samoa Joe, and he is inevitable! More dangerous than Thanos, will Joe take the AEW World Championship for his own one way or another?
The Young Bucks VS Komander & Penta El Zero Miedo w/ Alex Abrahantes!
Matt & Nick Jackson are putting their AEW World Tag Team Championship match opportunity on the line at Full Gear, but they might be taking too much of a risk here tonight! Will #CEROMIEDO be far too much for a tune-up? Or will the SoCal Superkick Party get started right here tonight?
The teams sort out and Nick starts against Komander and the fans are fired up already. Nick circles with Komander, they approach and Nick trips Komander up. Things speed up, Komander hurdles but Nick leaps over. They keep moving, Nick sidesteps Komander but Komander KICKS back! Komander runs in again, jumps and spins to wheelbarrow and arm-drag! Then a DROPKICK! Fans fire up with Komander and he brings Nick up to headlock. Nick powers out, Komander holds ropes to tag Penta.

But then The Bucks DOUBLE SUPERKICK! Penta & Komander bail out, the Bucks shake hands with each other, and the fans rally behind them.

Nick puts Penta in, Matt runs in at the corner, but Penta SUPERKICKS now! Penta eggs Matt on so runs up again, but Penta pops him up on the corner, to SUPERKICK him while he’s upside-down! Matt wobbles, tag to Komander, Komander springboards and Penta gives him the BOOST! Huge crossbody takes Matt down! Fans fire up as Komander stands Matt up, but Matt throat chops! Matt brings Komander up, whips him to the corner, then runs in, Komander elbows Matt, ROCKS Nick, then dodges Matt to go to the apron. Slingshot and wheelbarrow, but Matt blocks! Nick slingshots, FACEBUSTER!
Penta runs in, he gets a kick, and Matt gives Nick a boost of his own, ALLEY-OOP RANA! Penta falls out of the ring, and fans fire up as the Bucks have control while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Matt swaggers, he looms over Komander, and he drags him up. Matt snapmares Komander along ropes, then tags in Nick for Nick to slingshot SENTON! Nick mocks Penta, drags Komander back up, then tags Matt back in. They mug Komander, then Matt puts Komander in a Camel Clutch. Nick runs the ropes, and runs, and runs, to then suddenly stop and give his brother a kiss on the cheek. Then he basement dropkicks Komander! The Bucks pose and fans cheer while Komander crawls. Matt keeps Komander from Penta, bends the fingers, then brings Komander around. Matt bumps Komander off buckles and tags Nick.

Winners: The Young Bucks, by pinfall
Kenny Omega said last week that the Bucks are still the best tag team today, but then why did they resort to such lows? Will they have to do the same thing again on Saturday against Omega & Jericho?
Tony Khan has a message.
As delivered by Tony Schiavone on commentary, “AEW has come to terms with one of the world’s best wrestlers, someone who is known and respected by virtually every AEW fan. They’ll come to Los Angeles to sign their contract this Saturday at Full Gear.” Just who could this hot free agent signing be?
Backstage interview with The Young Bucks.
Lexi is with Matt & Nick and congratulates them on the win, but asks why they had to cheat to do it. Matt says that “sources” are telling him that The Young Bucks no longer give a damn about the rules. About what to say or not say, what to do and what not to do, and about- But wait, Kenny Omega walks in. He can’t believe they’d do that in front of their friends and family. Is that the Bucks of today? It’s the best version of them and Kenny knows it! And look who’s talking. How’d Kenny get his success, huh? The Bucks remember. Well, Kenny sure hopes they keep it clean for the PPV. The Bucks say no problem. The heat isn’t with Kenny, it’s with Jericho.
But hey, after Kenny and Jericho have their “second to last match” together, then The Elite can be a thing again. But speaking of Jericho, he walks in. He doesn’t want Kenny to waste his time with these jackasses, they have a Street Fight to win. Y’know, the one just a few nights before the Golden Jets beat the Bucks? See you later, kids. Oh, okay, is that how it is? Matt CLUBS Jericho on the back! Jericho wants to tear into Matt but security rushes in! Nick throws hands, too! Kenny gets Jericho away and shouts at the Bucks that this was just a talk! Kenny doesn’t understand what is becoming of his friends, but can he and Jericho focus on their enemies here tonight?
The Gunns w/ Juice Robinson VS Peter Avalon & Jacoby Watts!
Austin & Colten are tuning up for Full Gear and their ROH World Tag Team Championship match, ready to shoot down The Devil of AEW. Will “Pretty” Peter & #GigaWatts simply be target practice for them? Or can the Wingmen use this to jump the line and have the next shot?
The Gunns don’t even wait to sort out, they go after Avalon and Nemeth the moment they’re all in the ring together! The bell rings, the brawl is on, and Colten ROCKS Watts while Austin TOSSES Avalon! Then Watts staggers up, into 3:10 TO YUMA!! Cover, The Gunns win!
Winners: The Gunns, by pinfall
The fans still taunt the “ASS~ BOYS!” but they won so fast, the smoke from their pyro hasn’t even dissipated. Juice Robinson talks trash on Watts, then TOSSES Watts out like trash! The Gunns get the mic and Colten tells Max that this match was 2v2. Imagine what’ll happen when it’s 2v1! MJF’s friends, The Acclaimed, are gone! His best friend, Adam Cole, is gone! And those ROH World Tag Team Championships are about to be gone! Austin soaks up the heat before he says, “And if you’re not down with that, we’ve got two words for ya! GUNS UP!!” The Bullet Club Gold train is rolling down the tracks, will MJF lose it all this Saturday?
Wardlow speaks.
“I saw fear in the Devil’s eyes. Max, your time is running out. The days of the Devil ruling over this company are coming to an end. And as God as my witness, I’m gonna make the Devil my b*tch.” But then the Devil of AEW is on screen! Just who is that devil? Is he truly more dangerous than the devil we know in MJF?
Like a Dragon 8 Man Street Fight: The Don Callis Family & Brian Cage w/ Don Callis VS Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi, Chris Jericho & Paul Wight!
What started with scummy Don Callis betraying Kenny Omega, then brainwashing Konosuke Takeshita into joining him, then escalated as Callis then turned on his oldest friend in the world. However, while Callis amassed an army he calls “family,” he forgot that the Cleaner and the Ocho have much more reliable friends than him. Will the Golden Lovers and the once former #JeriShow chop down Callis’ rotten family tree?
Jericho waits on stage with Floyd the Baseball Bat in hand, because he wants to go down the ramp with all his teammates. The Golden Lovers make their entrance together, Callis calling them the most codependent relationship in pro-wrestling ever. But then the Giant is here in a great looking suit, and they’re ready for a fight! The DCF rushes them at the ramp and the bell rings! It is a brawl, Kyle Fletcher after Omega, Konosuke after Ibushi, and the Machine out on loan going after Chris Jericho! “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs goes after Wight but Wight sends him into the tron! Brian Cage storms up on Wight but Wight DECKS ihm!
Jericho JAMS Fletcher, CLUBS him with Floyd, then CLUBS him again! Ibushi fires off on Konosuke, Wight sends Hobbs back into the tron. Wight throws hands on Cage, Callis tries to say Jericho’s a coward for having Floyd, completely ignoring how Konosuke had his own silver bat wrapped in barbed wire a moment ago. Fletcher storms up on Wight, but Wight stops him, rips off the shirt, and CHOPS Fletcher right on flesh! Fletcher falls and fans fire up, but Wight hauls him up. Wight choke grips and aims for the floor! CHOKE SLAM through spare tables!! Callis freaks out as the Aussie Arrow might be broken!
Cage runs Ibushi down the ramp while Wight fires hands on Hobbs. Cage puts Ibushi in the ring while Jericho SMACKS Konosuke with a plastic crate! Fans fire up with Jericho, but Konosuke comes back with elbows! Cage and Ibushi brawl in the ring while Konosuke sends Jericho into railing. Cage runs, but into a RANA from Ibushi! Cage bails out, Konosuke stomps Ibushi down. Fans boo but Konosuke ROCKS Ibushi! Or not as Ibushi just glares at Konosuke. Konosuke throws more shots but Ibushi KICKS him back! Ibushi calls to Kenny and the Golden Lovers CHOP Konosuke! They double whip, then double leap frog to KICK and KOTARO KRUSHER!
Callis says that was great stuff, but then the Golden Lovers coordinate something else. They take aim, run corner to corner, GOLDEN SLASH! Direct hit on Konosuke, and direct hit on Cage! Fans fire up and wait, Hobbs and Wight have brawled their way to the parking lot? Wight SMACKS Hobbs off a car hood! And CHOPS him! Fans fire up as Hobbs sputters, but back tot he ring, Omega BOPS Konosuke with a sign! Jericho BOPS Cage with that crate! And SMACKS him on the back! Omega BOOTS Konosuke, SMACKS him with the sign, and Jericho SMACKS Cage with another sign! Fans fire up as Omega has Konosuke’s barbed bat!
Omega GRINDS the barbed wire into Konosuke’s forehead! Callis complains but it was his fault for letting Konosuke bring that out in the first place! Konosuke throws body shots to get free, and he RAMS Omega into a menu sign! Jericho has a Kiryu cutout, shoutout to Like a Dragon Gaiden for sponsoring this match, and then Jericho whips Cage. Cage reverses and Jericho hits the timekeeper’s table! Wait, Ibushi has a bicycle?! And a steel pipe?! But more importantly, a bicycle!? Flashbacks to Ibushi’s days in DDT Pro, and he wheels his way down the ramp, to BOP Fletcher with the pipe! He keeps going, and he BOPS Konosuke!
Ibushi keeps going, but Cage LARIATS Ibushi off the bike!! Callis says go ahead, call the “meat wagon,” Ibushi’s done! Back to Wight and Hobbs, they’ve gotten on top of a flatbed that is carrying all the spare wood planks that make up the ring! And Wight is still aiming for that Hyundai! But then Hobbs powers up to scoop and SLAM Wight onto the car!! Fans lose their minds and Callis laughs his ass off! Cage puts Omega in the ring, Konosuke has the bike, and he CLOBBERS Omega with it! And he CLBOBERS Jericho with it! And then he spins to CLOBBER Ibushi with it, then he CHUCKS it into Omega!
Omega flops out of the ring, Konosuke puts the bike down and he reels Ibushi in. We get a quick picture in picture as Hobbs looks down on Wight and the medics check the giant out. Konosuke suplexes Ibushi, BRAINBUSTER onto the bike!! Tire, rims and chain, all in the impact! It was double-edged for Konosuke as he clutches his shoulder, and fans lose their minds as they see the unorthodox road rash on Ibushi’s shoulder! Cage drags Omega off the apron to fire forearms as Dynamite goes picture in picture!
Cage ROCKS Omega, stomps him against railing, then digs his boots in. Konosuke is up, he brawls with Jericho, but Jericho ROCKS Konosuke and tosses him out. Jericho then pursues, and he storms up to SMACK Konosuke with a sign! Konosuke staggers around the way, leans against railing, and then Jericho TOSSES him over! Jericho climbs up, the fans rally, but Cage snap suplexes Omega to the floor! Cage storms up on Omega, throws down hands, but Jericho and Konosuke brawl their way up the bleachers. Fletcher is up and he BOPS Omega with a shovel handle! And then CRACKS him with it!
Jericho and Konosuke go up higher, they trade CHOPS back and forth, but Konosuke claws Jericho’s eyes. Cage has Floyd and he CHOKES Omega with it! Jericho and Konosuke go to the very back of the bleachers, into the pavilion, and Jericho SMACKS Konosuke with a stanchion! Cage CHOPS Omega but Ibushi CHOPS Cage! Omega CHOPS Cage, the Golden Lovers CHOP Cage over and over! Jericho brings Konosuke further along back there while the Golden Lovers use more crates to bash Cage! Jericho SMACKS Konosuke off a storefront countertop! Then he SMASHES Konosuke with a bag of popcorn!
Jericho drags Konosuke along and they go into the lounge! Konosuke throws Jericho into a cushiony chair! Meanwhile, Omega brings in a plastic palette and puts that in the ring. Omega CLUBS Cage, Dynamite returns to single picture, Fletcher is building something with chairs, and the brawl in the lounge continues. DDT to the couch! Wait, what? But back to where Hobbs and Wight are, Wight is still down on the ground and security has to keep Hobbs back. Hobbs wants Wight to get up just so he can hit him more. But Omega has a TABLE! Konosuke brings Jericho out of the lounge and SMACKS him off a trash can.
Konosuke runs up but Jericho CHUCKS the trash can lid! Fletcher SMACKS Ibushi with a sign! Fletcher and Cage coordinate, Jericho puts that trash can lid around Konosuke’s neck to then ROCK him! Fletcher breaks a sign over his knee while Jericho uses his suit jacket to CHOKE Konosuke! Cage brings out a second table! Fans fire up as those are put side-by-side, and Fletcher RAMS Ibushi into the railing. Jericho whips Konosuke but Konosuke reverses to send Jericho into a wall! Fletcher & Cage go after Omega, Omega throws hands but it’s not enough. Cage & Fletcher mug Omega, but Omega fights back as fans rally.
Jericho mugs Konosuke, SMACKS him off a wall, but Cage & Fletcher have Omega up. DOUBLE SUPLEX onto the palette! Cover, TWO!! Cage drags Omega up, Konosuke SMACKS Jericho off a Bud Light counter! Speaking of Bud Light, Fletcher has a beer bottle in hand! He breaks it to have a jagged edge! Callis likes where this is going! But Omega BOOTS Fletcher away! And he ELBOWS Cage! Konosuke SMACKS Jericho with a tall can, then cracks it open to have some refreshing Bud Light. Omega V-TRIGGERS Fletcher! Cage GERMAN SUPLEXES, but Omega flips up and out! Then SNAP DRAGON!
Konosuke digs his knees into Jericho but Omega has the beer bottle! Omega doesn’t drink beer, but he will use the glass! Fletcher ROCKS Omega first! Fletcher runs, into the BOTTLE SMASH!! Konosuke ROCKS Jericho, and Cage LARIATS Omega! Ibushi is back and he MISSILE DROPKICKS Cage down! Konosuke says he won’t just beat Jericho, he will destroy him! Callis likes that as Konosuke then gets up on the counter. And then on top of a vending machine! Konosuke runs to LEAP, into a fire extinguisher blast!! Konosuke tumbles, staggers up blindly, and into a JUDAS EFFECT!! Back to the ring, Omega’s hand is bleeding but he and Ibushi have Cage.
The Golden Lovers sit Cage up, but wait, Hobbs is back! Hobbs CLOBBERS The Golden Lovers! Fans boo but Hobbs is done with Wight so he’s back in the ring. Hobbs scoops Omega to WORLD’S STRONGEST SLAM!! Fletcher is busted open but Hobbs gives Omega to Cage. Cage has Omega at the ropes, to deadlift SUPERPLEX through the tables!!! Fans lose their minds, and Hobbs whips Ibushi to SPINEBUSTER! Hobbs snarls while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Omega and Cage writhe in the wreckage, but Jericho returns. Hobbs CHOKES Ibushi as Jericho storms down the bleachers menacingly. Hobbs CHOKES Ibushi on ropes, lets off to then stand on Ibushi, but Jericho is back, and armed with a chair! Jericho gets in, he actually gives a chair to Hobbs so this is a fair fight! Fans fire up as they CLASH! And CLASH! And CLASH again! Hobbs loses his chair, Jericho JAMS him with the other! Jericho fires forearms, but Hobbs hits back! Hobbs whips, scoops, SPINEBUSTER! Flashbacks to that night weeks ago! Cover, TWO!! Hobbs is furious that he didn’t finish Jericho!
Omega throws something at Hobbs, but Hobbs kicks Omega back down. Cage & Fletcher drag Omega out, to double whip him into railing! Hobbs CHOKES Jericho in the corner, then shifts his grip to pull Jericho against ropes. Hobbs lets off, Omega SMACKS Cage with a crate but Fletcher sends Ibushi into railing. Omega BREAKS that crate off on Cage, and Dynamite returns to single picture as he starts ripping up what’s left of the table! Fletcher sends Ibushi into more railing, Hobbs whips Jericho to a corner. Hobbs SPLASHES Jericho, then runs, but misses! CODE BREAKER! Cage and Omega both get in the ring, Cage fireman’s carries Jericho! F5!!
Omega runs up, SLAM DUNK! Fletcher is in, HALF ‘N’ HALF on Omega! Fans join in on “AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE! OI OI OI!” Fletcher roars and then goes out to show us his little structure. It’s about eight chairs in a square, with those menu signs across them like a table! Fletcher drags Ibushi up but Ibushi ROCKS him first! Ibushi scoops, Fletcher fights for dear life! Fletcher gut wrenches Ibushi, Callis loves this as Fletcher TOMBSTONE PIELDRIVERS Ibushi onto the signs and chairs!!! The fans lose their minds again while the ref checks both men. Meanwhile, Hobbs goes back in and he stalks Jericho.
Jericho rises slowly, Hobbs runs in, but Jericho dodges and Omega V-TRIGGERS! JUDAS EFFECT!! Hobbs stands back up!?! Omega runs in to V-TRIGGER! Jericho has duct tape! He and Omega tie Hobbs up on the ropes! Callis says this is horrible, but this is just what Callis did to Omega! Hobbs dares Jericho to do something! So Jericho tapes Hobbs’ mouth shut! Fans fire up and Callis says this shouldn’t be allowed, how is Hobbs going to breathe? Through his nose…? Ibushi gives Omega some chairs and pieces of sign, and Omega SMACKS Hobbs with them! And then the BOTTLE! Cage runs in, DISCUS LARIAT on Omega!

Winners: Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi, Chris Jericho & Paul Wight, by pinfall
Wherever The Giant is right now, it’s hard to say if he feels like a winner after what Hobbs did to him. But Omega & Jericho have Ibushi calm down, the war is over. The Golden Lovers/Golden Jets celebrate, but they’ll have to turn right around to get ready for Full Gear. Will Omega & Jericho be able to beat The Bucks? Or will Saturday really be their last match as a team?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
It may be on a different night, but it’s still a good night for fights! Dax Harwood takes on Rush 1v1 ahead of the Fatal 4 Way for the AEW World Tag Team Championships! The Women’s Champions of AEW team up as Hikaru Shida & Kris Statlander take on The Outcasts, Ruby Soho & Saraya! And just as Miro said, he is going to make an example out of Daniel Garcia!
BREAKING NEWS for Rampage!
Just 24 hours before they battle at Full Gear, both MJF and Jay White will have sit-down interviews with Renee Paquette to give some final words before their AEW World Championship match! And just as she requested, “Timeless” Toni Storm has her tune-up match, against the Queen of Joshi, Emi Sakura!
MJF is here!
The fans fire up to see the People’s Scumbag, who is clearly stressed out given everything he’s dealing with going into Full Gear. MJF says after the brutal attack on The Acclaimed last week, it is becoming very apparent that no matter how hard he tries to outrun his past, it will keep haunting him. And though he tries to better himself, every time he opens himself up and lets someone in, those people get hurt. And so, he doesn’t know, but sometimes he feels cursed. So what he wants to say to The Acclaimed is the same thing he said to Adam Cole, and that is sorry that they got caught in the crossfire that is MJF’s life. MJF is sorry that they got hurt, and he hopes they all feel better.
Fans cheer that, and MJF says ever since he can remember, all he has ever wanted to be is a world champion professional wrestler, and he has spent his entire life, every single waking, breathing moment, trying to make that a reality. He is proud to say that he has made it to the mountaintop! “But that mountaintop, it’s not all glitz and glam. You see, the air up here is thin. It’s daunting. It’s lonely. And as I look down upon this mountain, and I look in every single direction, I see men climbing with the only intention to shove me off the top. And I’m man enough to admit that I am afraid. I am afraid that I could lose everything that I’ve worked for in the blink of an eye.
“But most of all, I’m afraid that I’m gonna do to you people exactly what I did to Cole and the Acclaimed. I’m afraid I’m gonna let you guys down.” Fans say no, “You’re Our Scumbag!” MJF says the old him would’ve tucked tail and ran, but y’know what? He’s done letting his past dictate his future and his present. So yeah, he’s afraid, but that doesn’t mean he’s gonna quit. Yeah, he’s afraid, but that doesn’t mean he’s giving up his spot at the top of the mountain! Yeah, he’s afraid, but you better send a whole damn army to get him to come down!
Fans fire up and MJF tells Jay White that November 18th, White’s been walking around here with a title he has not yet earned. And now White has a chance to prove it. He has a shot at Full Gear in the Forum to take MJF’s spot at the top. But what MJF thinks is that White can’t! In fact, Cali, MJF is pretty sure NO ONE can! “Because my name is Maxwell, Jacob, Friedman. And I’m better than you, and you know it!” MJF has a message to the man who stole his Devil mask and hired those goons. Heed these words: MJF will find out just who you are, and when he does, there will be hell to pay!
But wait, here comes Jay White. The Switchblade is on stage, he has a mic, and he tells Max, “Please, please, please, you’re gonna make me sick. Just stop. Drop the act, because you are embarrassing yourself.” Fans boo but White says MJF is trying so hard to be the hero, when that’s just not who MJF is. MJF is the villain. Always have been, always will be. And MJF is not fooling anyone with the mask, the distractions and the diversions. Because we’ve heard it from MJF’s mouth time and time again that MJF IS The Devil! No one is on MJF’s level? No, no. MJF isn’t the hero, he isn’t the people’s hero, he isn’t their scumbag!
Fans boo but White says no, MJF should know better how quickly the fans will drop him because he means nothing to them. But that’s perfect, because to be honest, they must mean nothing to MJF, right? They mean nothing to MJF because he hasn’t changed! He can’t change! MJF said he knows White because they’re similar, so “brochacho,” guess that means White knows MJF. White knows MJF knows that White is speaking truth right now! And White knows that MJF knows that the days as the official AEW World Champion are numbered! MJF knows White is truly elite while MJF is not!
MJF knows White is better than MJF, and that the fans know it! And MJF knows that at Full Gear, MJF will Breathe With The Switchblade! “And if you ain’t down with that, I’ve got two words for ya! Get ’em.” Wait, what? BCG slips in from the crowd! MJF DECKS Juice, DECKS Austin, and DECKS Colten! MJF stomps away on Austin, then stomps Colten, but Juice hits the LEFT HAND O’ GOD with his TJ Maxx ring! And then 3:10 TO YUMA!! White joins his boys in the ring while fans boo, and White drags MJF up. BLADERUNNER!! White covers and Juice counts, that’s three. White holds the belt up as if he’s already won it, will MJF not survive Full Gear?
But Samoa Joe is watching, that offer still extended. Will MJF accept the help of the only “friend” he has left?
My Thoughts:
A great episode for the go-home Dynamite here, and that was a strong closing segment. MJF has a great promo but of course he gets beat down by Bullet Club Gold. Samoa Joe of course squashes his opponent and has a good promo to remind everyone that MJF can still accept his help for Full Gear. Rampage will probably be low action filler since Collision is also now on Friday for this week. MJF’s sit-down interview probably turns into him accepting Joe’s offer and they face The Gunns to retain the ROH World Tag Team Championships so MJF will be in good shape to face White in the main event.
Great opening tag from Blackpool Combat Club and #OrangeHook, especially with it starting off as a brawl. But of course BCC wins to not just give Moxley momentum but to set up Yuta VS Hook after that pin. Though, of course Yuta gets the pin, Moxley did all the work. Moxley himself says this match is to set the record straight on the International Championship but who knows given the go-home math. And I figured Skye would beat Velvet to get in on the Triple Threat, but that was still a great showing from Velvet. And I like the team-up of Shida & Statlander for Collision, that’ll be some great stuff.
Good promo with Toni Storm and Mariah May. I wonder if Mariah does have a part to play in the Full Gear match. The question is, will she help Storm win the title? Or cost her and then Storm feuds with Mariah? I feel like the fans will really hate the latter, so perhaps Storm wins the belt and takes Mariah under her wing as thanks. Hilarious promo from Roddy with Cole, and now Cole accusing Roddy of being the Devil and Roddy getting defensive could totally be teasing what I was thinking last week where Roddy IS The Devil. Roddy’s big reveal can also include how he’s been faking the bad neck, to the surprise of absolutely no one.
Great promo from Miro to add to his story with CJ and now Andrade, but of course he’ll be taking on someone else before he has his match with Andrade. Garcia is going to look great even though he’ll lose to Miro, and maybe CJ confronts Miro afterward. And Tony Khan’s written message during the Bucks VS Komander & Penta was nice and vague, but c’mon, that has to be Will Ospreay. Ospreay’s been on AEW a few times already, has had a great time, and while his NJPW contract is seemingly up after WrestleKingdom, being in AEW will keep him available for crossovers with NJPW like Forbidden Door and WrestleDream.
Speaking of the Bucks VS Komander & Penta, what an awesome tag match! PPV level right there, but of course The Bucks win to have momentum going into their PPV match with Omega & Jericho. Also good post match promo to add more heat between them and Omega as Omega stays Face but the Bucks are going Heel. And then, an amazing promo from Hangman, and I just knew he was gonna use that loophole to go after Nana. But poor Swerve, he really didn’t get any words in there. Go-home math would say Swerve wins but he already won at WrestleDream, so the math must flip Friday with Collision in order for Hangman to win at Full Gear.
And then a great Street Fight match for the Like a Dragon promotional crossover. Kudos to Wight for taking that slam off the car, I did not think he’d do that at his age. But given how many times the Don Callis Family has won overall, it makes sense this blowoff(?) goes to the Faces. No idea if Golden Jets beat The Bucks, but as I said before, it just seems a shame if Omega and Jericho stop now. Though with the Continental Classic on the way, shouldn’t Omega and/or Jericho be involved? Though, maybe not. I’m not sure if Omega and Jericho can keep up in a G1-esque round robin these days.
My Score: 8.9/10

AEW World Trios Championships: The Death Riders VS AR Fox & Top Flight!
Jon Moxley survived another title defense thanks to Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta & Pac, but now they must defend their own titles.

Or will these high-fliers really cash in here tonight?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and it is time to slam, if you wanna jam!

BREAKING NEWS for April!
Dynamite returns to Boston, but it won’t be Big Business. It’ll be a Spring Breakthru! Get your tickets now so you don’t miss out!
Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Lexy Nair brings up the intense match Adam Cole and Daniel Garcia had, going to Hell and back, all for the TNT Championship. It unfortunately ended in a time limit draw, and some would say a tie is worse than a loss. Cole says he certainly feels that way. He feels sick to his stomach, physically beat up, and the worst part is, he had Garcia beat. “Daniel Garcia, I had you beat for that TNT Championship. The time limit is what saved you. And lemme tell you, the next time we do face each other, there will be no outside interference, there will be no time limit. It will be Adam Cole VS Daniel Garcia, for the TNT Championship, and trust me when I tell you, you’re looking at the next champ!”
Kyle O’Reilly says wow. And speaking of rematches, it has been about a week since their match with FTR. And what’s really bugging him isn’t the loss, it’s the lack of respect. Kyle & Roddy showed a lot of respect. They held out their hands, and what’d FTR do? FTR left Kyle wondering if they really are everything they say they are: The best tag team on Earth that’s ever existed in the time-space continuum! Kyle thinks they’re just insecure. Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! No. No, we are not gonna do that. That loss matters. We didn’t go through what we went through to get back together, to lose to the supposed best tag team on the planet.”
Roddy wants FTR to hear this. “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. The third time’s not gonna happen, fellas.” Cole says, “And that is Undisputed.” When and where will we see these epic trilogies happen?
Backstage interview with Kazuchika Okada.
Slam Dunk Sunday returns as Lexy is now with The Rainmaker. We’re not even a quarter into 2025 and Okada has gotten some very significant wins defending the AEW Continental Championship. Okada says yes, at Grand Slam: Australia, he beat Buddy Matthews. At Revolution, he beat Brody King. He put those dogs down. What does that mean? Okada says he means, he put those b*tches to sleep! Is The Rainmaker saying the Hounds of Hell are no more? Or will they come barking back and take a bite out of his belt?
Bandido VS Johnny TV!
The Most Wanted wants his revenge on Chris Jericho, but he was first challenged by the Guru of Greatness for this “big ratings” showdown. Will Bandido mute Johnny and head for The Nueve? Or will he find he’s not #TVReady?
Johnny disrespects Bandido during his entrance by throwing his big studded jacket at him! The fans boo, Johnny grins, but Bandido fires off forearms! The bell rings, Johnny pushes Bandido back, then wrangles him. Johnny rolls Bandido, ONE, but Johnny floats to rain down fists and stomps! Johnny gets his sunglasses off, the fans boo, but Johnny says he is TV Ready. Johnny taunts “cabron” Bandido, then KICKS him in the back. Johnny eggs Bandido on, “How’s my foot taste?” Johnny drags Bandido up for a NECKBREAKER! The fans boo as Johnny shows off the abs. Johnny KICKS Bandido, drags him back up, then fires body shots.
Johnny whips, Bandido ducks ‘n’ dodges, then he CLOBBERS Johnny! The fans fire up as Bandido keeps moving, another big forearm! And another big forearm! Bandido fires up, the fans are with him, and he runs in at the corner. Bandido jumps up to MONKEY FLIP! Johnny flops hard on his face! Johnny gets up in a huff, but runs into a military press! With ONE HAND! Bandido then THROWS Johnny down! Omaha rallies more while Johnny bails out, and Collision goes to single picture.
Bandido build speed, but Johnny slides in and LARIATS! Johnny mocks the clapping, then covers, TWO! Bandido is tougher than that, but Johnny drags him right up. Johnny reels Bandido in, MOONLIGHT DRIVE! Cover, TWO! Bandido is still tougher than that, but Johnny clamps on a dragon sleeper. Bandido endures, even as Johnny hooks a leg and twists him. Bandido fights around, reaches out, but Johnny drags him back! Johnny keeps on the stretch plum style hold, but Bandido still endures. Bandido fights up, fires knees, but Johnny CLUBS Bandido! Johnny INVERTED SUPLEXES, but Bandido lands on the apron!
Bandido blocks a shot, slingshots, but Johnny SHOVES him down! Bandido hits the floor and Johnny goes out after him. Johnny storms up on Bandido, stands him up, and whips him into steel steps! Bandido falls in a heap, Johnny stalks him and taunts him, but Collision goes to break.
Slam Dunk Sunday returns, Johnny runs in at the corner but Bandido BOOTS him away! Bandido then UPPERCUTS, goes up, but Johnny throws him down! Bandido rolls to his feet, runs back in, but Johnny dodges. Johnny runs back in, but Bandido SHOTGUNS him down! The fans fire up, Bandido covers, TWO! Johnny survives that shot but Bandido stays focused. The fans rally, Bandido paces, and Bandido drags Johnny up. Bandido gut wrenches to a Canadian Rack, that then becomes a torture rack! X KNEE! Johnny staggers to the ropes, Bandido says BANG! Bandido runs in, BLACKJACK 21 PLEX!! Bridging cover, Bandido wins!
Winner: Bandido, by pinfall
The Most Wanted was most certainly #TVReady! But he’s not done, as he grabs a mic to call out Jericho! “Come here, and bring my little brother, Gravity’s mask, RIGHT NOOOW!” Bandido waits, and here comes The Learning Tree! The ROH World Champion has “Big Bill” & Bryan Keith behind him, and he is holding onto Gravity’s mask. The fans boo, but Jericho smiles as he holds the mask up. The Learning Tree goes to the ring, and Jericho also has a mic. Jericho steps and says, “You know, Bandido. I wish I could tell you it doesn’t have to be this way, but I think we both know that it does.
“Because even after a generational career, one of the greatest in pro-wrestling history, I still have to remind you, everybody here watching tonight, everybody at home, who’s been fortunate enough to witness the brilliance of the Jericho Era… That you can only take me for granted for so long! That you can only take from me so much until I start taking back.” Jericho can be quite generous, and he can also be very dangerous. Bandido can just ask his family. The fans boo, but Jericho says Bandido’s terrified sister, his disgraced brother, and his weeping mother…! And Jericho is sorry he made Bandido’s mother cry, he really is.
But he had to teach Bandido a lesson! That’s what happens when you try and take the ROH World Championship from Chris Jericho! You understand him? Do you?! The fans boo, but Jericho says if Bandido wants the mask back, he can’t have it. Because Jericho wants Bandido to remember the humiliation that he felt when Jericho took this mask right off his brother. And the only thing worse than taking a luchador’s mask… is putting that mask on! Jericho goes to put Gravity’s mask on! The fans boo as Jericho wears it as his own! His big head doesn’t even fit in it! The fans chant “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” but Jericho tells them to shut up!
Jericho, muffled as his voice is now, tells Bandido that Bandido should just stand there and cry like his mother! Bandido DECKS Jericho instead! But now Bill runs up! Bandido dodges, BOOTS Keith, then dodges again! Bandido goes up, up, but into Bill’s big hand! SKYSCRAPER- NO, Bandido slips free, then dodges Keith! Bandido SNATCHES the mask off Jericho, and gets away clean! The fans fire up as Bandido gets his moral victory! But will he and Jericho go one more round for THE victory?
Megan Bayne speaks.
“I’ve watched others fight for what they believe is theirs: Titles, fame, glory. But none of them possess true power. They worship at the feet of champions, but even those champions don’t understand what it is to be chosen by the heavens. I have arrived here as the embodiment of fate. And when they bow before me, when they worship at my feet, they’ll finally know that the All Elite Goddess has arrived. I am The Megasus, and this is my kingdom now.”
Toni Storm speaks.
“Who died and made you God? Who came down from the mountains and bestowed your power upon my people? Megan Bayne, have you heard the mythology of the one they call Timeless? Hercules doesn’t have my thighs, I have an Oedipal Complex with myself, I can summon the Kraken from my ass, and Pegasus ain’t got s*it on me! I saw my reflection, and my reflection saw me, and we made love until the sun came up. And at Dynasty, I will cut off the head of the mighty Megasus, and I will hold it aloft for the whole world to see, and I will say… ‘By GAWD I’m good.'” Luther applauds in the background, will Toni Storm slay this female titan?
Harley Cameron VS Aminah Belmont!
Though she was rather coy about her- er, Harley-gram’s budding romance with The Beast Mortos, the wild Aussie is getting back in action. Will the Phoenix Princess #FEELTHEWRATH on Slam Dunk Sunday?
The bell rings and the fans rally for Harley. Harley and Aminah tie up, Harley headlocks, but Aminah powers up and out. Aminah drops down, Harley rolls over then bypasses Aminah to LARIAT! The fans cheer, Harley runs and KNEES Aminah low. Then a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! The fans fire up again and Harley stands Aminah up. Aminah throat chops, then straitjackets for the NECKBREAKER! Harley flounders to a corner, Aminah mocks the fans, then she runs in, but into an ELBOW! Harley runs up, ducks the lariat and ENZIGIRIS! The fans fire up for Harley, she ducks Aminah’s roundhouse to pump handle!
Harley lifts for the PUMP HANDLE SAIDO! The fans fire up with Harley, “FEEL THE WRATH!” And then she dragon sleepers, for HER FINISHING MOVE! Cover, Harley wins!
Winner: Harley Cameron, by pinfall
Aminah certainly did #FEELTHEWRATH, and Harley goes right to commentary for our main event! Will Harley have a good time watching Komander & Hologram officially debut as a team? Or will Dralistico y Mortos make everything tranquilo?
Backstage interview with Don Callis.
Lexy is with cruddy Callis and brings up all that is going on within the Family. We have not seen Kyle Fletcher since the brutal cage match at Revolution, and- Callis stops Lexy there. He says we all know what she’s up to here. She is passive aggressively getting Callis all worked up about the cage match, but here’s the thing. When you have Kyle Fletcher, just 26 years old, and already the future of pro-wrestling, “you have the luxury of putting nights like Revolution in the rearview mirror. What I’ve got planned for Kyle Fletcher, what we’ve got planned, is gonna dwarf anything that your little brain could possibly fathom!”
But one thing she said is right: Everyone wants to see Kyle! So tonight is a little treat. Ladies and gentlemen… The Protostar, the future of wrestling, and the New God of Pro-Wrestling, Kyle BAH GAWD Fletcher! Yes, Kyle indeed steps into frame, and he says there has been a lot of talk and rumors that he was in some hospital bed, licking his wounds, but he is here to set the story straight. Yes, the cage match, the entire rivalry with Ospreay, has changed Kyle. But one thing that has not changed is the fact that he is destined to be the greatest of all time!
So he will be at Dynamite this Wednesday, and he’ll make it very apparent what is next for The Family, and for The Protostar, Kyle Fletcher. Say his full name, baby! Callis and Kyle hug it out, are maybe feeling a little too good, but just what is next for the DCF in AEW?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
Tony Khan has decided what’s next for Kyle: Brody King! Will the King of Death prove the Hounds of Hell are not done yet? Or will The Protostar use him as a stepping stone to the top? Then, it is some big meaty men slapping meat as “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs takes on Mark Davis. Will Hobbs finally get past the Don Callis Family with this? Plus, after Megan Bayne and Toni Storm each said their piece tonight, we’re getting a tag team match! Megan again teams with Penelope Ford against the reunited #ThunderStorm! Can La Mera Mera get her own revenge while helping Timeless Toni tune up for Dynasty?
And Kenny Omega not only returns, he is back in action against Blake Christian! Will the Best Bout Machine use the Vanilla Babyface as an appetizer for that big International Championship Triple Threat at Dynasty? And last but not least, after Dax Harwood left Cope hanging last week, Tony Schiavone will interview #RatedFTR to get to the bottom of this divide. All this when AEW arrives in St. Paul, Minnesota!
Los Titanes del Aire VS La Faccion Ingobernable!
This one has been a long time coming. Hologram was put on the shelf because of Dralistico, Mortos y Rush, but he was able to reboot, rebuild and refresh in time to help Komander fight back. Can the Titans of the Air fly high over LFI? Or will Dralistico y Mortos stampede over them like rampaging bulls?
The teams sort out, the ref has to keep them back, and then Dralistico starts against Hologram. Harley claims to have no idea who “Harley-gram” really is, but whoever she is, she has a fantastic chest. Wait, Mortos CLOBBERS Komander! The fans boo, but Hologram dodges, and Mortos CLOBBERS Darlistico! Hologram fires hands, Mortos headlocks, but Hologram goes up the ropes! Hologram then flips free, SOBATS, and whips. Hologram ducks under then hurdles over Mortos. Mortos leaps over, runs back up, ARABIAN PRESS and a roll! The fans fire up, Hologram dodges Mortos to then tilt-o-whirl and DEJA VU-

Komander shoves, then he pops Dralistico up, but Dralistico DROPKICKS!

Komander kicks Dralistico again and again, then goes up the corner! DOUBLE BOUNCE ARABIAN PRESS ARM-DRAG! The fans fire up as Komander then KICKS, SOBATS, and winds up. Komander runs to jump, spin, and wheelbarrow for the arm-drag! Komander fires up, the fans fire up, but Harley says she has to go now? Harley needs to call her friend.

Dralistico shoves Komander back into the ring, then sits him up to go after the mask! The ref reprimands, Dralistico stops, and Dralistico argues with the ref.

Komander stays in this, but Mortos clamps onto him again. Mortos YANKS Komander up with his mask to then SLAM him down!
Mortos stands Komander back up to SMACK him down! Komander goes to ropes, Mortos storms up, and Mortos wrenches Komander to tag in Dralistico. Komander tires to fight back but LFI still mugs him. Dralistico CHOPS Komander, then says uno mas! But then Dralistico DECKS Komander! Komander rises up, and Darlistico KICKS the leg out! Dralistico dusts himself off, puts up the ingobernable fist, then looms over Komander. Abrahantes coaches Komander, but Dralistico has him in a modified Half Crab! Komander endures, Dralistico lets go, and the fans rally up. Dralistico stands Komander up, whips him to the corner, then runs up to SPLASH!
Dralistico sits Komander down, goes side to side, and SUPERKICKS! Dralistico taunts Hologram, then soaks up the heat. But wait! “Harley-gram” is here! And suspiciously wearing gear just like Harley’s. Dralistico TOSSES Hologram in just for fun, then stands him up to CHOP! Dralistico runs at Komander in the other corner, but Komander breaks free!

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

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

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

Konosuke sputters while Rocky gives some Azucar Heat. Rocky runs to DIVE, but Cage catches him! And hands him off to Konosuke! APRON POWERBOMB! Cage CLOBBERS Briscoe, Archer whips Hobbs into railing!
The fans boo, the Callis Family soaks up that heat, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Archer hits buckles, staggers around, and he tags to Konosuke. Konosuke drops an ELBOW on Rocky! Konosuke looms over Rocky, CLUBS him, and then brings him around.

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