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 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!

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 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!!

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.

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!
SUPERKICK on Jericho! Cage pump handles Jericho for a PILEDRIVER! Omega stands, Cage reels him in and vows to end it! Suplex, but Omega fights free! Whip and V-TRIGGER! FLOYD THE BAT! POISON-RANA!!

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

PLAY BY PLAY
MJF arrives backstage.
Renee Paquette is there to bring up tonight’s main event is Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita for the AEW World Championship. If Darby Allin wins, MJF will then have to sign a contract for Title VS Hair at Double or Nothing. Darby has made it clear that if MJF doesn’t sign said contract, Darby will never allow MJF to face him for the title again. We all know how important the title is for MJF, but is MJF willing to put his hair on the line for it? MJF just chuckles and moves on, but he notices the very bald Rick Knox, Bryce Remsburg, and the head of security, David Aponte. And then various bald members of the production staff…
And then even Christopher Daniels & Sonjay Dutt are there! Daniels and Sonjay chuckle before moving on, and then MJF sees John Silver flexing. Brandon Cutler, some arena staff, and even Tommaso Ciampa, all bald. Then last but certainly not least, Ricochet! He tells MJF that don’t worry, he’ll look great. Just not as good as Ricochet. AHA~! MJF storms off, will he have no choice but to choose between gold belt and chrome dome?
10 Man Tag: Orange Cassidy, Adam Copeland, Christian Cage & The Young Bucks VS Tommaso Ciampa, David Finlay, Clark Connors & FTR w/ Stokely Hathaway!
While we know the AEW World Tag Team Championship match will be a conglomeration of I Quit Match and New York Street Fight, THE Conglomeration will be waiting on the other side for their own tag title match. And let’s not forget that Matt & Nick Jackson want their own shot at those titles again. With that, can Freshly Squeezed work together with C&C and The Bucks?

The fans fire up as Christian just THROWS Cassidy out onto FTR! Christian then goes up, up, and SUPER CROSSBODIES The Dogs!
Cope calls out a shot, runs, but into a SHATTER MACHINE!! FTR snatches Cope outta nowhere, Connors makes the cover, but Cassidy breaks it! The fans fire up as now FTR has Cassidy surrounded. But Cassidy “unleashes” his kicks! The fans go nuts with every shot, but FTR shoves Cassidy! SHATTER- DOUBLE SUPERKICKS on Cash! Cassidy fights free of Dax, but Dax blocks Nick’s Superkick!

Winners: Orange Cassidy, Adam Copeland, Christian Cage & The Young Bucks, by pinfall
Another star-studded 10 Man Tag, and it was a huge win for all the hungry contenders. Christian doesn’t wanna celebrate, but he does signal that he and Cope will be champions. Will putting their tag team legacy on the line be enough to take the gold? Or will Double or Nothing be the last night that team reeks of awesomeness?
Will Ospreay continues to train with The Death Riders.
They’re outside this time, Claudio Castagnoli playing some wall ball with Marina Shafir and Pac. Daniel Garcia says, “Tonight is the night that we’ve all been waiting for: The Aerial Assassin, Will Ospreay, is cleared and back on Dynamite. And rumor has it, the kid’s been working real hard and he’s got some new tricks up his sleeves. So Young Boy Billy, tonight you gotta show me something, c’mon.” Garcia gets a quick turn in on wall ball while cameras move over. Ospreay is maintaining a neck bridge while Jon Moxley uses Wheeler Yuta as a living dummy to show just how to push and pull and bend and twist on the various chinlocks and headlocks.
Use the right arm to push against the head, then snake in the left arm for the sleeper. Pry and shoot. Moxley asks how Ospreay feels. Ospreay lets off the bridge and says honestly, the best he’s felt in forever. Moxley asks if Ospreay remembers the night he won the Best of the Super Juniors. Yeah, 2019. AKA a lifetime ago. Ospreay was carefree, flew like a bird, for no other reason than that’s just what birds do. So simple back then, chasing that feeling, like no other feeling in the world. Can’t really grab it in your hands for more than a few seconds. The joy of doing it. Then everybody comes in and tries to make it so overcomplicated.
Years pass, life happens, a family starts, responsibilities show up, bad things happen, bad choices catch up to you, and it’s all weight on your shoulders. You feel like you can’t fly. But Moxley will tell you something: Nothing is different. Nothing has changed. All those things are still gonna be there, but you can still fly. You’re just more dangerous now. You’re a bird of prey. So tonight, when you got out there, don’t go out there to protect anything. Not your neck, your image, your reputation, or what you’ve built in your career. Go out there to give something. Moxley checks on Yuta and says dammit, if you’re gonna snap a headlock, snap the headlock!
Moxley storms off to instruct his pupil, but will Ospreay use everything he has been taught to great effect? Or will he have to fold against Ace Austin?
Chris Jericho speaks.
“You wanna face Jericho in a match of my own design, Ricochet? A spectacle so innovative, so imaginative, it cannot be contained, it can only be witnessed. Well, be careful what you demand, because you’ve made a few enemies yourself, Ricochet. And now a match designed specifically to settle scores without any, and I mean AAANY~, limitations has gotten even bigger.” Chris Jericho & The Hurt Syndicate were just looking for two more, but “Jungle” Jack Perry said he can bring four: himself, The Young Bucks, and KENNY OMEGA! Jericho tells Ricochet that this is no longer what he designed, but it is a devil’s dance of destruction! Ricochet’s destruction!
Ricochet got what he wanted, now can he handle it? Bald. The first-ever SEVEN VS SEVEN Stadium Stampede, who will even survive?
Ricochet & The Demand respond.
They stand with Mark Davis of the Don Callis Family and Ricochet says we all know Jericho does a lot of talking out of his ass while The Demand gets things done. Just like Davis did when he defeated Jack for the AEW National Championship at Fairway to Hell. Hold it with pride, Davis, Ricochet knows you’ll do it well. Davis says he’s got this. Ricochet says Davis has joined the dream team, but he’s not the only one. Because compliments to Ricochet’s golfing buddy, Don Callis, look who else he’s sending: Andrade El Idolo! Gracias, amigo. But it doesn’t stop there, the train keeps rolling. Ricochet was just approached by two guys who have an ax to grind with the superkick sidekicks.
These two wanna fill out the last two spots, so who is Ricochet to say no to The Dogs? Finlay & Connors storm in, and Finlay says to put it simple, they will fight The Bucks in the streets, in the ring, but guess it’s fighting at Double or Nothing! If they want violence, if they want carnage, if they want chaos, who better than The Dogs?! The Dogs bark and Liona roars, but will these seven stand tall in the Big Apple?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey w/ Kevin Knight VS BK Westbrook!
JetSpeed has a lot of momentum on their side, and as stated last week at Fairway to Hell, they’re looking to grab up all the gold they can. Will Speedball keep on rolling towards his own golden opportunity? Or will #Supastud prove his own worth?
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two step up. Bailey bows in respect, offers a handshake, but Westbrook goes to roll Bailey up! Bailey stays on his feet, then steps over to sit down on a cover, TWO! Westbrook ducks a Penalty Kick, avoids the moonsault, and the sweep! Bailey dodges, Westbrook tiger feints through the ropes, but Bailey handsprings up and over! The fans fire up as Bailey ducks an elbow to whip. Westbrook goes up, around, but kinda fumbles his tumble. The fans cheer and jeer him for his attempt, but Westbrook blocks the boot! Westbrook FLIPS Bailey, springboards in, but Bailey dodges! TIME ADVENTURE!
Bailey pushes Westbrook down, goes up the corner, and the fans fire up for the ULTIMATE WEAPON! Cover, Bailey wins!
Winner: Mike Bailey, by pinfall
Another fast ‘n’ furious finish, and Bailey’s on a hot streak! But now, the other side of JetSpeed looks to keep it up! But just who is Kevin Knight defending the TNT Championship against? It’s… BRIAN CAGE!? The Machine finally returns to action, and he has the Don Callis Family with him! Will Cage be able to ground Knight and take this title back to the family?

AEW reveals the Men’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament Brackets!
This year’s tournaments will go through Double or Nothing, and the finals will coincide with Forbidden Door 2026 on Sunday, June 28th in San Jose, California! The winner of each tournament will then challenge for THE AEW World Championship and AEW Women’s World Championships on August 30th at All In: London! And so, for the opening round, it will be: “Jungle” Jack Perry VS Mark Davis; Claudio Castagnoli VS Brody King; then Double or Nothing has both Samoa Joe VS Will Ospreay, and Swerve Strickland VS Bandido!
“Jungle” Jack Perry speaks.
“Mark Davis… I’m sure you feel some congratulations are in order. But you’re not champion to me. You see, you’re built like an Australia grizzly bear, yet you still needed somebody to hit me in the back with a golf club for you to beat me. At Stadium Stampede, bring your friends, bring any weapon you want, and I will crack you over the skull with it. Because anything goes. But after that, it’s back to grass roots, because it is you and me, fighting for a shot at the world title at All In: London. And in the Owen Hart Tournament, I will prove to you beyond a shadow of a doubt that I’m a better wrestler than you. I am the FUTURE world champion!
“And if you don’t like that, F YOU!” Jungle Jack is sharpening his knife, but will his edge be razor sharp when it comes time to cut down Dunkzilla?
Will Ospreay VS Ace Austin!
We’ve seen the Aerial Assassin training with The Death Riders, he’s won gold with his old friends in The United Empire, and now he’s about to face a dangerous man at Double or Nothing. Will Ospreay be more than ready for Samoa Joe after tonight? Or will he fail to even get past The Inevitable?
The bell rings and the fans cheer Ospreay as he stares down with Ace. Ospreay offers a handshake, Ace accepts, and the fans cheer the sportsmanship. They circle, tie up, and Ospreay wrenches to wristlock. Ace rolls, handsprings, and wrenches, but Ospreay rolls, kips up, and wrenches back. Ospreay hammerlocks, Ace rolls to kip up and wrench to then armlock. Ospreay endures the grind, fights around, and he arm-drags Ace down. Ace endures, fights around, and rises up. Ace shoots through to waistlock but Ospreay switches. Ospreay hits the headlock takeover, Ace headscissors, but Ospreay kips free.
The fans cheer the standoff, and the two reset. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and go shoulder to shoulder in a Test of Strength. The fans rally as Ace pushes Ospreay back. Ace has Ospreay down for a knuckle lock cover, ONE as Ospreay gets his arm up. Ace pushes it down, cover, ONE as Ospreay gets the other arm up. Ace tries again, ONE as Ospreay bridges! Ace jumps up, but Ospreay holds the bridge! That training truly pays off! Ace jumps, Ospreay gets him for a MONKEY FLIP! The fans fire up as Ospreay then arm-drags! Ospreay wristlocks and he bends the fingers! Ospreay isolates the arm to then STOMP it!

Ace TAPS, Ospreay wins!!
Winner: Will Ospreay, by submission
That might’ve been Ospreay’s first win by submission ever! He signals that his neck is no longer a problem, and he shows Ace respect for that fight. Ace accepts the handshake again, and Ospreay is moving on towards Double or Nothing with a great amount of momentum. But wait! SAMOA JOE is here! He and The Opps walk out on stage, and with mic in hand, Joe says, “Ospreay, Ospreay… OSPREAY, OSPREAY!” Joe is clearly mocking the chants for Ospreay, and the fans give genuine chanting and even singing in return. Joe says he just wanted to make sure Ospreay was listening, because these past few weeks, it seemed like Ospreay had a hard time hearing him.
Despite Ospreay’s best efforts, fate has put them on a collision course in the opening round of the Owen Hart Cup. The fans like the sound of that! Joe say she is here for one reason and one reason alone. He wants to speak about choices and consequences. Ospreay could’ve made the right choice and get a bye in this tournament, because that is what Joe would do for one of his friends. But Ospreay chose poorly. He could’ve been with the team that would do nothing but support and enhance Ospreay, but he decided to be a lapdog for Moxley and the Death Riders. The fans boo, Ospreay says he’s not a Death Rider.
Joe says Ospreay has made his choice, and come Double or Nothing, Joe makes Ospreay suffer the consequences. But Joe leaves Ospreay in peace tonight, for he has his date with destiny. But unfortunately, Joe’s friends, Katsuyori Shibata & Anthony Bowens, still feel slighted, and he doesn’t put leashes on his friends. Shibata & Bowens storm down the ramp, Ospreay ready to fight them both if he has to. But then The Death Riders appear! Ospreay may not have officially joined the club, but the Death Riders aren’t going to let their investment go to waste! The Opps say they’re #NeverLacking, but that doesn’t seem to be the case now!
Shibata & Bowens back down while Moxley, Marina, Claudio, Yuta, Garcia & Pac all step up to support Ospreay. Joe says, “Soon. Soon.” The fans cheer the Death Riders, or at least Moxley, but Bowens promises Joe is gonna kill you, Ospreay! The dream match for Double or Nothing is on, but will the training with The Death Riders make Ospreay the new King of Harts?
BREAKING NEWS for next week!
If you liked last week’s THREE HOUR block of AEW, then you’ll love this next one! Portland, Maine, the last Wednesday before Double or Nothing, Dynamite & Collision are combining forces again! Three hours all on TBS and HBO Max, make sure your DVR is set accordingly!
Backstage interview with Don Callis & Konosuke Takeshita.
Renee is now with The Invisible Hand & The Alpha, saying tonight is a huge opportunity in the main event, Konosuke facing Darby Allin for THE AEW World Championship. Konosuke could be heading into Double or Nothing as a- Callis stops Renee there to say Konosuke will be heading into Double or Nothing as a DOUBLE champion! But then MJF steps in, apologizes for the interruption but says Renee’s doing a great job. The Scumbag tells Konosuke that while it’s been a minute since the two of them have talked, three years actually, back when MJF beat him… MJF has seen Konosuke develop into truly one of the best wrestlers in the world!
MJF believes that tonight, Konosuke beats Darby for the title, goes to DON to beat Okada, and MJF can’t think of a better match than Konosuke VS MJF Part 2 for the world title. How’s that sound? MJF offers a handshake, Konosuke shakes his hand, but in Japanese, Konosuke tells MJF that he’ll beat the crap out of him. Thankfully, MJF doesn’t know Japanese. Callis says that was a nice pep talk MJF just gave, and MJF says yes, he knows. That kid needs to win, okay? MJF can’t let Darby turn him into some disgusting, bald freak! No offense, Callis looks great. But look, there is only one foolproof way to know MJF won’t be put in that situation.
So if things get hairy… MJF hands over the Dynamite Diamond Ring! Callis smiles, and say she understands what to do with it. But then in steps Andrade. El Idolo takes off his hat to shake out his amazing head of hair, and smiles at MJF. MJF frowns and leaves. Callis says here’s the deal: Takeshita will bring the world title home to the Don Callis Family tonight! Andrade asks, “How you know?” Callis says aye dios mio, he seriously doesn’t know where Andrade learned English. Andrade says one way or another, the next time, that will be HIS title. Callis says yes, he knows, it’s all good. Callis is a man of many talents, but will his family be dripping with gold thanks to a diamond ring?
AEW now announces the Women’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament brackets!
Double or Nothing will see Willow Nightingale, the reigning Queen of Harts, take on Alex Windsor, while we will see Persephone VS Hazuki, Skye Blue vs Sareee, and Mina Shirakawa VS Athena! Champions from around the world are gathering for this tournament, but who will be headed to Forbidden Door, and then All In: London?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Renee Paquette is now with Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong, and Willow Nightingale. Renee commends Cassidy on his part in the 10 Man Tag victory. But it seems that there is even more business to attend to. Cassidy says yes, the team has a shot at THE AEW World Tag Team Championships. It doesn’t matter who it is, they’re getting their shot, but the thing is… They still haven’t decided on which two will be. Kyle says Cassidy & Roddy should go for the gold, but Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! Thank you.” Kyle says of course. But that’s cuz he’s got gold to chase for himself!
The same man that put Kyle on the shelf for months is the man that Kyle submitted twice, and will submit again. Jon Moxley, Continental Champion, when are we doing this? Willow says speaking of gold, she is still the TBS Champion. But she is also in the Owen Hart Cup. She won this tournament before, she’ll do it all over again, so that she can have all the gold for herself at All In: London. She knows she can, and she will! Then Conglomeration has it all in order? Cassidy says hold on, there’s something missing. They should do a Word of the Day. Why haven’t they done one in so long? Roddy shouts for “MAAARK~!” And yes, Mark Briscoe returns!
The Sussex County Chicken is all fired up, and he says the Word of the day is reunification! For Mark Briscoe is back with his boys and his girls, The Conglomeration! But he’ll put this plain and simple: Tommaso Ciampa! Next Wednesday, Briscoe’s after your ass, son! You hear him? But before that, Saturday Night Collision is in HIS hometown, Salisbury, Maryland! That’s just 4.4 miles from where Briscoe originated on this earth! They’re gonna conglomerate and it’s gonna be a a hell of a time! Are you ready!? Willow and Kyle are fired up, Briscoe goes wild, and the team heads out. Cassidy admits, that was a lot of yelling.
But while The Conglomeration is ready to go Double or Nothing, will they soon have even more gold in the collection? Or are these high and lofty a little too much even for them?
Six Woman Tag: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds VS The Triangle of Madness!
With the news of both the AEW Women’s World Championship Fatal 4 Way for Double or Nothing, and the Owen Hart Cup brackets, this trios match is about much more than just settling scores! Will the Shining Samurai be just as sharp as Jamie Hayter going into that title match? Or will Thekla, Skye Blue & Julia Hart continue to bring them down by any means necessary?
The trios sort out and Jamie steps up against Thekla as both a rematch from their 1v1 title match, and a preview of what’s to come in the next. They circle, but then Skye CLOBBERS Jamie! Julia steps in, but so do Shida and Windsor! The Triangle throws hands on Shida & The Birds, then triple whip. But all three reverse, a BOOT for Thekla, a DDT for Skye, and a BACKBREAKER for Julia! The fans cheer as The Triangle bails out! Shida goes out to keep after Skye while Windsor goes after Julia. Jamie gets Thekla back in the ring while Shida and Windsor have the Sisters of Sin in the corners of the barriers. The fans cheer as they all rain down fists!
Windsor, Jamie & Shida all go to nine, then wind up for TEN! The fans cheer again while Thekla sputters. Jamie snap suplexes, but Skye ROCKS Shida! Jamie stomps Thekla, Windsor SLAMS Julia off barriers, and Jamie stomps a mudhole in the corner. The ref counts, Jamie lets off, but Skye and Windsor meet while tightrope walking the barriers! Skye and Windsor trade shots, they wobble a bit, then Skye DECKS Windsor! Skye keeps from falling into the crowd, but Jamie gets her! Windsor joins in and the Birds double gorilla press, SNAKE EYES off the apron! The fans fire up, but Thekla is up top! SUPER CROSSBODY onto The Birds!
The fans fire up again and Thekla is feeling it while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Thekla stomps Windsor, CLUBS Jamie, then helps Skye. But Shida runs up, only for Thekla to ELBOW her down! The Triangle has control again, they ROCK Jamie and Shida and Windsor, then send them all to the desk. The Triangle CHOP again and again and again! Then they wind up, but feint chops to SMACK all three off the apron! The Triangle soaks up the cheers and jeers before putting Jamie back in the ring. Thekla brings Jamie up, snapmares her down, then basement SUPERKICKS! Cocky cover, TWO! Thekla drags Jamie to the corner, tags Julia, and Julia runs up to LARIAT! Then she goes side to side to ELBOW Jamie down!
Julia snapmares Jamie to a cover, TWO! Julia is annoyed but she rains down fists. The ref reprimands, Julia stops, but then she sucker punches Windsor! And Shida, too! Julia then drags Jamie over, bumps her off buckles, and tags in Skye. Skye stomps Jamie around, then digs her boot in! The ref counts, Skye stops at 4, then she brings Jamie up. Jamie fires forearms and CHOPS, but Skye THROWS Jamie down by her hair! The ref reprimands again but Skye rains down forearms. Skye snapmares Jamie, mule kicks her, then covers, TWO! Skye frowns but she stomps Jamie down. Skye tags Julia while Dynamite returns to single picture.
Skye whips Jamie into Julia’s grasp, and Skye BLASTS Shida & Windsor while Julia tags Thekla. Julia has Jamie in the TARANTULA, and Skye sends Windsor in for Thekla’s HANGING HEADSCISSORS! Skye runs up to DOUBLE SHOTGUN The Birds! The fans are torn but Thekla says that’s how the Triangle does it, baby! Thekla then aims to MISSILE- NO, Jamie gest under! Thekla lands out, but Jamie BOOTS her down! Jamie looks at Shida, Shida is hesitant, but Shida tags in! The fans cheer as Shida sends Theknla to the corner, then JUMP KNEES! Shida keeps moving, she BLASTS Skye! Julia ROCKS Shida back!
Julia storms in but Shida kicks her and whips her into Thekla! Shida KNEES them both in the corner! Then Shida puts Thekla sideways in the corner, reels Julia in, and she snap suplexes Julia into Thekla! The fans fire up as Shida then suplexes Thekla high and hard! Cover, TWO! Shida stands Thekla up, Thekla swings but Shida ROCKS her first! And ROCKS her again! Thekla wobbles, swings, but Shida catches Thekla for another forearm! Shida runs the ropes but Thekla mule kicks! Thekla SMACKS Shida, then she dodges a boot to DECK Shida! Thekla talks trash on Shida, then drags her up to tag in Julia.
Julia tags Skye, then tag back to Thekla. The Sisters of Sin hit the DOUBLE GOURD BUSTER and DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Thekla hits the bridge, and she aims for the SPIDER SPEAR! Cover, but The Birds CLOBBER The Sisters of Sin onto it! The fans fire up a Windsor DECKS Skye and Jamie HEADBUTTS Julia! The Birds drag Shida to safety, Windsor tags in, and she CLOBBERS Thekla! Windsor CLUBS away, then fires the fans up. Jamie steps in, BOOT RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP COMBO! Basement LARIAT! And then Windsor lifts! Jamie runs up, but Skye trips Jamie! The fans boo but Skye sends Jamie into steel steps!
Thekla sends Windsor into buckles! Tag to Julia before Shida runs up, TAMASHII KNEE on Thekla! Skye SUPERKICKS Shida! Jamie is back to clinch and HAYTBREAKER! Julia runs up, slips around, SOLE FOOD! Julia kips up, but Windsor is there to whip Julia to ropes! Skye tags in before the SPINEBUSTER! Skye SUPERKICKS Windsor, then brings her up! Skye hops on, CODE- NO, Windsor pops free! Skye SUPERKICKS again, but Windsor HEADBUTTS! The fans fire up as Jamie joins in again, and they DOUBLE LARIAT SANDWICH! Then they set Skye up, and Jamie says let’s try this again!
Jamie runs the ropes, but Thekla slides in, BELT SHOT on Jamie!! No question that the ref saw that! The Triangle is disqualified!
Winners: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds, by disqualification
The Toxic Spider doesn’t care about this win, she just wants to do damage! Skye gets Windsor in a DRAGON SLEEPER! The ref stops Thekla from sing the title belt again, so Thekla just takes off her own belt! And she LASHES Windsor while Skye holds her down! More refs rush out here, but Julia MISTS the newbie in the face! Julia stomps away on Jamie, not caring about fines or consequences, either! The fans boo, and Shida is bailing on the Birds? Shida cares more about her chances in that Fatal 4 Way than anything else. But then Willow, Mina, and even Thunder Rosa rush out here! They chase The Triangle off with belts of their own!
The fans cheer as The Babe, the Fighting Gravure Idol & La Mera Mera save the day. But will Jamie make sure Thekla and Shida pay for this at Double or Nothing?
AEW World Championship: Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita!
They say “card subject to change,” and that is true even for the best in the world. Kazuchika Okada’s real family takes priority, but his Don Callis Family brother was more than happy to step up for this opportunity. Will The Alpha already have two belts by the time he and The Rainmaker battle over the International Championship? Or will Darby truly be relentless in his pursuit of being the best fighting champion in AEW history?
The introductions are made, THE belt is raised, and we see who goes to Double or Nothing on top!
Callis joins commentary to say that while Darby’s been breaking his own body, Konosuke has perfected “rejuvenation training,” aka relaxing on a beach and sipping sake! The bell rings, and Darby SHOTGUNS Konosuke out! Then Darby DIVES, but Konosuke catches him! Konosuke POSTS Darby, then THROWS him into railing! Konosuke THROWS Darby into the ring, the fans fire up for both guys, and Konosuke hurries to BOOT Darby off the apron! Darby falls in front of commentary but Konosuke gets him right back in the ring. Cover, ONE!! The fans rally as Darby shows his grit, but Konosuke snarls.
Konosuke drags Darby up, Darby fires forearms, but the ALPHA ELBOW knocks Darby down! The fans fire up while Konosuke looms over Darby. Konosuke stands Darby up, and THROWS him into a corner! Darby bounces off the buckles and is bleeding from the mouth already! Konosuke stands Darby up, hoists him up top, then he climbs up after him. But Darby BITES Konosuke, CLUBS him down, and leaps for a CROSSBODY, but he bounces off Konosuke! The fans fire up again as Konosuke whips Darby for a BACKDROP! Darby got serious hangtime there, and he flounders out of the ring. Darby coughs and sputters but the fans rally up.
Konosuke goes out after Darby but Darby SMACKS him! Konosuke KNEES low, KNEES him again and again and again! Konosuke KNEES Darby against the barriers, then refreshes the count. Konosuke whips Darby hard into railing! Darby sputters as he leans against the railing, but Konosuke positions the steel steps. Konosuke then fetches Darby, lines up a shot, but Darby fights the suplex! Darby CLAWS Konosuke’s back, then fires a shot. Konosuke DECKS Darby in return! Darby slumps against the steps, Konosuke runs up, but Darby dodges! Konosuke’s knees hit the steps and he tumbles over! Darby then runs up the steps to SHOTGUN Konosuke down!
The fans fire up while both men are down on the floor! Konosuke checks his knee before he crawls around, and Darby gets in the ring so he can build speed! Darby DIVES! Direct hit on Konosuke but Darby’s the one who hits the desk! The fans fire up while both men are down again, but Darby rises up to get Konosuke on the apron! Darby fires forearms, then goes up a corner! COFFIN- NO, Konosuke catches him for a SUPER BLUE THUNDER BOMB to the floor!! The fans go nuts again and Callis says that’s the end of Darby Allin, but Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref hurries to check Darby but Callis tells Doc Sampson to call it. Darby is somehow still in this, so Konosuke storms his way over. Konosuke drags Darby up, puts him in the ring, then paces around him. Konosuke runs the ropes to LARIAT! Darby flips inside-out, Konosuke covers him, TWO!! Darby still has fight inside but he’s also dazed. Konosuke clamps onto Darby with a chinlock and squeezes tight. Darby endures, even as Konosuke leans on him with his much-taller frame. Darby reaches out, fights around, and rises up, only for Konosuke to CANADIAN RACK BOMB! Darby sputters all over again while Dynamite returns to single picture.
Konosuke sits back as he watches Darby crawl to the apron. Konosuke storms his way over, but Darby RAMS low! Slingshot sunset flip, but Konosuke rolls through! Only for Darby to kick the legs out! Darby catches Konosuke to a GUILLOTINE! Konosuke endures the squeeze, fights up to his feet, and he powers out to THROW Darby! Darby lands out, fires shots, and RAMS low! Darby then hops on, but Konosuke stops Code Red! Konosuke swings Darby around, tucks him in, BASTARD DRIVER! And WHEELBARROW GERMAN! The fans fire up and Callis says that’s true power! Darby sputters again and Konosuke vows to end this.
Konosuke runs corner to corner, HELLUVA KICK!! Then he hoists Darby up top, climbs up after him, and goes to the very top! The fans freak out already for the SUPER DUPER GERMAN SUPLEX!! Bridging cover, TWO!!! Callis is freaking out as much as the fans, and he protests the count! Konosuke is furious, but he aims for the WAGAMAMA KNEE!!! Cover, TWO?!?! Darby survives by nanoseconds, and Konosuke is beside himself! “This is Awesome!” but now CLØN rushes out here! He distracts the ref, and Callis hurries to take the Dynamite Diamond Ring off his finger to put it in Konosuke’s hands! Konosuke thinks about it, but The Alpha has honor!
The fans cheer as Konosuke wants to do this his way! But then Darby runs up, cradles, TWO!! Konosuke escapes, ALPHA ELBOW!! Darby is down, dazed, but still moving! Konosuke drags Darby up again, goes back to the corner and back to the top rope. The fans hope these two “FIGHT FOREVER!” but it has to end somehow! Darby fights against the lift with headlock punches! Then he hops on, SUPER CODE RED!! Konosuke staggers up, Darby leg scissors, steps through, LAST SUPPER!! TWO?!?! Konosuke escapes again, then bails out! So Darby just goes up top! SUPER COFFIN DROP!! Direct hit and both men are down again!
The fans are thunderous as Konosuke and Darby stir. A ring count climbs, Callis complains that some people just gotta follow directions and run the play! Coach Callis pulled Konosuke outta obscurity, Konosuke would do anything! Now he’s got some gold, some fame, and gets a mind of his own! Callis complaining aside, the ring count is climbing! Darby drags himself in at 9, but Konosuke YANKS him back out! That refreshes the count, and Konosuke vows to end this for real now. Konosuke points to the steel steps, and he drags Darby up onto them with a deadlift RAGING- NO, Darby knees Konosuke, turns things around, and FULL METAL SCORPION DEATH DROP!!!
The fans go nuts again while Konosuke writhes! Konosuke flops off the steps, Darby crawls into the ring, and Darby just climbs the corner again! SUPER DUPER COFFIN DROP!!! Konosuke might be unconscious! Darby still hauls Konosuke into the ring, pushes him to a cover, TWO?!?!? Konosuke survives and Darby is furious! But Darby just reloads, COFFIN DROP but onto knees!!! Ghost pin, TWO!!! Darby escapes but the WAGAMAMA KNEE finds him!! Konosuke hauls Darby up, but Darby pops free! Trip, step through, and SCORPION DEATH LOCK!!! Konosuke endures, reaches out, but Darby sits deep!!
Callis says don’t even think about it! Konosuke almost does, but he bites his own thumb to ignore the pain in his back! Konosuke reaches out, crawls his way forward, and he fights to the ROPEBREAK!!! But Darby is right up top! COFFION DROP on the back!! Then Darby goes right back up, COFFIN DROP again!!! Cover, DARBY WINS!!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
Callis is steaming, but Darby overcomes Konosuke to avenge that loss in the Continental Classic! But it also took so much out of him just to do it! Darby still asks for a mic and one is brought to him. Darby sits up against the ropes, has them cut his music, and he tells MJF to get his ass out here! There’s a contract MJF needs to sign! The ring crew hurries to bring in a table and some chairs for that very contract signing, and MJF makes his entrance. MJF reluctantly makes his way down the ramp, and both men meet at the table. Darby grins with blood still in hiss teeth, and he signs his part of the contract without hesitation, unlike MJF.
The fans already chant “BALD! BALD! BALD!” at MJF, and Darby pushes the contract to his side of the table. MJF grabs the pen, reaches out, but then steps away. MJF scratches his chin as he thinks on this, and the fans just chant, “BALD! BALD! BALD!” again. MJF takes a mic to say he’ll explain something to Darby, looking like he has rabies. But see, MJF is happy for Darby, he hopes Darby’s had fun holding MJF’s AEW World Championship. The fans boo that, but MJF says deep down, there is a small part of him, like the size of a North Carolinian p*nis small. That small part of MJF feels bad for Darby, because he’ll never hold this again!
Darby’s got about a good a chance of holding this title as Hangman Adam Page does again. MJF says guys like Darby are a dime a dozen, here today and gone tomorrow, stuntmen who burn the candle at both ends. In this life, people like all these fans here like to pretend that life is about making friends and family and children. The only thing that matters in life is your legacy. And Darby’s legacy will be that of the kid who had his 15 minutes of fame. They’ll pretend like Darby made a lasting impact, but the fact of the matter is, he hasn’t. He hasn’t! They’ll know deep down that Darby Allin was just a little pr*ck who got lucky.
They’ll know that Darby was too reckless and stupid to stay on top. And after May 24th, Double or Nothing, in that sh*thole of Queens, New York, y’know what MJF’s legacy will be? He’ll go down as the guy who became a THREE-TIME World Champion at just 30 years of age, unprecedented in this sport. And MJF will go down, when it’s all said and done, as the Greatest of All Time! THAT is the difference between them! Darby Allin brags about climbing a mountaintop. But when it comes to professional wrestling, Maxwell Jacob Friedman IS the mountaintop! The fans boo but MJF soaks it up. Darby tells MJF to SHUT UP!
Only someone like MJF who is so vain would think that the number one most important thing in this world is his legacy. Darby doesn’t care about legacy, he cares about living in the moment! And in this moment, Darby just wants MJF to sign the contract. Then at Double or Nothing, Darby makes Maxwell Jacob Friedman a BALLD HEADED B*TCH!! MJF frowns but the fans cheer that! MJF grabs the pen again, and with no choice, he signs on the dotted line! Then he TACKLES Darby! The fans boo as MJF beats up Darby after the war he went through with Konosuke! MJF CHUCKS an armchair outta the ring, FLIPS the table, then picks up his Dynamite Diamond Ring.
MJF puts the ring on his finger like always, then winds up to DECK Darby!! The fans boo but MJF just soaks it all up. MJF throws off his jacket, picks up the belt, and he stands over Darby with it. But then MJF isn’t done with Darby, he puts Darby on the top rope! MJF climbs up to join him, and drags Darby into position! But wait! Kevin Knight runs out here to chase MJF off! The Jet still owes The Scumbag a receipt, but it seems we’ll all have to wait on that. Will MJF still take back the title at Double or Nothing? Or will Darby keep the belt and take MJF’s dignity?
My Thoughts:
An awesome episode for Dynamite as things heat up towards Double or Nothing. Awesome 10 Man Tag to open, great win for the Faces, not that it added much to FTR VS C&C. Good promo from Jericho to look back on Stadium Stampede and hype up this year’s match. Good promo from The Demand with Davis and The Dogs, and I suppose this maximizes the feuds as well as the alliances throughout the locker room. Who knows who wins but the match will still be awesome, just as the original was. Good promo from Conglomeration, too, Cassidy & Roddy going after FTR while Kyle VS Moxley happens on the side, that’s great stuff.
Speaking of Moxley, great promo from him and Ospreay. Moxley’s semi-turn has really brought out his sage philosophical side. Great match from Ospreay VS Ace, and while Ospreay could always bring out his aggression, seeing him use more technical wrestling and even winning with a submission is good stuff. Good promo from Joe, and I liked Death Riders backing Ospreay up. Very good Owen Hart Cup brackets this year, Joe VS Ospreay is a great choice given this story, but I would think Ospreay wins that one. Good promo from Jack Perry to call out Davis, and I suppose Jack can win in the Owen Cup to then move on from the National title.
Great seeing Brian Cage back, he gave Knight an awesome match, but with JetSpeed wanting to go on a Two Man Power Trip, it makes sense Kevin won out. Same for Bailey beating Westbrook, even though Westbrook maybe went too hard on his own acrobatic escape. Great stuff in the Six Woman Tag, and I appreciate Shida didn’t ditch until after the match. Willow, Mina & Rosa might get their own Six Woman Tag with Triangle of Madness after that interaction, but also can’t wait to see if Willow can go back-to-back as Queen of Harts. For that matter, I personally would love to see Athena use the Owen Cup to move on from being ROH Women’s World Champion, but that depends on how Supercard of Honor goes this Friday.
And of course, another wild instant classic from Darby as he overcomes Takeshita. I knew the diamond ring would come into play with that reverse effect, good way of protecting Takeshita in the loss. Good stuff with MJF tonight, too, such as the opening segment’s parade of bald men to send the message to MJF. That was also a unique contract signing segment in that it came together so quickly after the main event match. Good stuff from MJF as always, and of course he attacks Darby. I feel like either Knight should not have made the save, or both parts of JetSpeed should’ve made the save. It just seems odd that only Knight cared about saving Darby. The closing moment was much better when it was MJF standing over Darby with the belt.
My Score: 9/10

Winner: Mark Davis, by pinfall (NEW AEW National Champion)
Talk about a handicap! Callis AND Ricochet gave Davis quite a considerable one, and now Davis has his first singles title in AEW! The Jurassic Express National Tour has just been run off the road, but will Jack be able to get his revenge?
Collision returns, and Jack Perry is on the phone.
He tells someone, “Let’s do it. Thank you, guys.” Jack ends his call, then shows his frustration. Winning the National Championship in his hometown, in front of his friends and family, was one of the proudest moments of his entire life. And yet Ricochet and Callis had to end that for him. But he happens to know that Chris Jericho & The Hurt Syndicate are looking for two more partners for Stadium Stampede. And Jack go to thinking, the show is called Double or Nothing. So how about instead of two, Jack brings FOUR! The ELITE! Jack, The Bucks, and KENNY OMEGA! See you there. Ricochet may have just messed himself over, will he regret ever getting involved tonight?
Backstage interview with Don Callis, Mark Davis and Ricochet.
Renee Paquette is with the Jackal, Dunkzilla and the Bald Eagle as she says she was going to congratulate Davis on the title win, but after Jack putting out that news, what is their reaction? Callis says he’s thrilled! Jack just gifted him his ultimate fantasy! A chance to beat up Jericho, The Bucks AND Kenny, all on one night? Callis would’ve paid good money for that, and Jack, you dumbass, just gave it away from free! Ricochet says The Don Callis Family must be joining The Demand for Stadium Stampede. Well, given the way Ricochet just used that golf club, the National Champion will gladly stand beside him!
Ricochet says playing golf with Tony Khan has really improved his swing, so see you all there. Callis says yes, let’s go have a drink at the 19th Hole and talk about which of the many members of the Don Callis Family are going to join Ricochet in the slaughterhouse! Ricochet says oh yes, so many great choices to choose from! Callis & Ricochet head out, just how massive will this Stadium Stampede match get?
AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator: The Divine Dominion VS Ruthie Slay & Rachel Ley!
Megan Bayne & Lena Kross are so dominant, they don’t even think this match is going to last five minutes! But while there’s a time limit, will there be no limit to how devastating the Megasus & Aussie Amazon can be? Or will Slay & Ley manage to survive the day?
The teams sort out, Lena starts against Slay, and the clock is ticking! Slay DROPKICKS, but Lena doesn’t budge! Ley ENZIGIRIS, but Lena still doesn’t flinch!

Ley tumbles, the fans cheer, and Megan tags Lena back in. Lena storms up on Ley to GERMAN SUPLEX again!
The fans cheer as Lena tags Megan back in. We’ve hit 90 seconds, but it feels like forever for Ley as Megan GERMAN SUPLEXES again! Megan kips up, then she stalks Ley. Megan eggs Ley on, slaps her around, then drags her up. Megan fireman’s carries, but Slay manages to tag in! Slay runs up, but Megan scoops her! FALL AWAY SLAM SAMOAN DROP COMBO! They’ve made it two minutes but that might be all! Tag to Lena, she and Megan get Slay up, DIVINE INTERVENTION! Cover, Divine Dominion wins!
Winners: The Divine Dominion, by pinfall (denies Slay & Ley a title opportunity)
Two minutes and 15 seconds is all Slay & Ley got, will any team last even that long? Or will the Divine Dominion continue to dominate AEW until the end of time?
BREAKING NEWS for Double or Nothing!
The Triangle of Madness may have misted Persephone and injured Alex Windsor, but that only heaps on more trouble for the champion! Thekla must now defend her AEW Women’s World Championship in a FATAL 4 WAY! Thekla VS Jamie Hayter VS Kris Statlander VS Hikaru Shida, is The Toxic Spider about to get squashed? Or will she need her Sisters of Sin now more than ever?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
The annual tradition is back! The 2026 Owen Hart Memorial Tournament begins, with the brackets for both men’s and women’s divisions to be announced on Wednesday! Who makes the cut? And who will become the King & Queen of Harts?
Don Callis speaks, again.
“Just moments away from the AEW World title match between Darby Allin and Pac, and gentlemen, just wanted to let you know that the Don Callis Family, no matter who wins tonight, the Don Callis Family will be waiting for the winner. This Wednesday on Dynamite, the Don Callis Family will take the AEW World title from one of you. And y’know, it’s already been a great night, a big night, for the Don Callis Family! We won gold, but can’t wait to get some more. And on the subject of that, Okada has had to go to Japan to take care of some very important family business. But don’t worry, lads, because I have someone in mind to take his spot this Wednesday in the world title match.
“And it is none other than the firstborn of the Don Callis Family, Konosuke Takeshita, The Alpha!” Takeshita steps in, and Callis tells him, “You’re gonna be the world champion! If you listen to me like you always have, you will be successful, and you will finally fulfill the destiny that I had for you when I plucked you out of obscurity and made you the replacement for Kenny Omega. You’re the best wrestler in the world when you’ve got my game plan in your head. Go win the title.” Konosuke tells Don that he was going to take the International Championship, but now he is the person who will bring the world title back to the Don Callis Family! Unlike Okada.
Takeshita heads out, will he still make himself a double champion when he adds #PrettyPlatinum to the NJPW World Television Championship?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey w/ Kevin Knight VS Kiran Grey!
This match was on standby in case the Divine Dominion didn’t need all five minutes of their time, and now it’s a chance for Speedball to shine! But will he keep his momentum going from last Wednesday’s super show? Or will he get lost in the Grey Area?
Grey is already starting trouble as he pushes Bailey. The ref backs him off, then the bell rings. Grey runs up, but into a BOOT! Bailey then PENALTY KICKS, STANDING KNEE-SAULT, then Bailey waits on Grey. Grey ducks the buzzsaw and bails out! The fans boo but Bailey TRIANGLE JUMP MOONSAULTS! Down goes Grey and the fans fire up! Bailey daps it up with The Jet, then he climbs up the corner. But Grey goes after him! They brawl up top, Grey fires a flurry, but Bailey fires back! Bailey SHOVES Grey down, takes aim, but Grey hits the ropes! Bailey is tripped up onto his speedballs, but Grey dribbles him off the buckles!
Grey CLUBS Bailey into a Tree of Woe, then soaks up the heat before he stomps Bailey! Grey tells Bailey to stay down but Bailey grabs that leg! Bailey uses that to drag himself back up, and he ROCKS Grey again! Bailey dribbles Grey off buckles, then HEADBUTTS him! Grey falls, Bailey takes aim, ULTIMATE WEAPON! Cover, Bailey wins!
Winner: “Speedball” Mike Bailey, by pinfall
A fast win for Speedball, and Knight gets the mic. he says he likes that! Speedball is red hot right now. And though The Jet didn’t get two belts on Wednesday, he’s still the Face of TNT. Now, the future of AEW is wide open, so why not they make it to the top together? They shake hands on it, will JetSpeed shift gears to become a Two Man Power Trip? What belt(s) will they aim for next?
AEW World Championship No Count Outs Match: Darby Allin VS PAC!
Anticipating how wild this one can get given the nature of their grudge, AEW decided to remove some of the obstacles standing in their way. They can’t do anything they want, but they can definitely go anywhere they want here in the SoFi Center! But will Darby even up the career series between them? Or will it be 3-1 in favor of The Bastard?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who takes this belt to Dynamite!
The bell rings and the fans rally behind Darby. Darby hops outside already, and he goes around the crowd to be on the golfing green! This is No Count Outs, so he wants to take full advantage of it already! He dares Pac to join him, so Pac heads over to the green! They fire hands on the rough and the fans fire up! Darby ducks, fires hands then HEADBUTTS Pac down! Darby brings Pac up but Pac BACKDROPS Darby! Pac then brings Darby closer to the bunker! Pac suplexes, Darby fights free, and he fires hands! Darby runs up, CODE RED into the sand trap! The fans go nuts seeing what is surely the first one of those ever!
Pac gets himself out of the sand and ends up on the fairway. Darby pursues, runs up, and ROCKS Pac1 they’re near another sand trap, and Darby SHOTGUNS Pac into the sand! The fans cheer “A E DUB! A E DUB!” for making this madness a reality! Darby goes after Pac, but Pac throws sand in Darby’s eyes! Pac then hauls Darby up to BELLY2BELLY SUPLEX Darby into the sand trap! Darby sputters, but Pac clamps on the BRUTALIZER! The ref reprimands, this isn’t Falls Count Anywhere! But fans know “This is Awesome!” as Pac makes Darby suffer! Darby sputters again as Pac lets him go, then shakes out the sand in his boots.
Pac drags Darby up with a headlock, but then decides to fireman’s carry! And gorilla press to THROW Darby back into the bunker! The fans boo but Pac soaks up that heat. Darby sputters and coughs while Collision goes picture in picture.
Darby sputters as he sits up, but Pac brings him back around. Pac brings Darby around, dumps him down, and soaks up more heat. Pac then brings Darby along the fairway, CLUBS him on the neck, and stalks him as they return to the crowd. They then return to ringside, then the ring itself, and Pac covers, TWO! Darby toughs it out, but Pac stalks him to the corner. Pac uncovers a crossbar before he stands Darby up. Fairway to Hell returns to single picture as Pac tiles the tag rope to Darby’s chain necklace! Darby can’t get free before Pac BOOTS him! The ref reprimands, but Darby SPITS at Pac! Pac takes that defiance and BOOTS Darby again!
Pac then has Darby’s legs, and YANKS him from the corner! The tag rope breaks and Darby flounders around. Pac whips to then BACKDROP Darby 450 degrees! Pac then builds up speed, but Darby avoids the lariat! The fans fire up as Darby slingshots back in and dragon sleepers for the SCORPION DEATH DROP! Cover, TWO! Pac and Darby are both down while the fans rally up again. Darby crawls to a corner, climbs up top, and he watches Pac rise. Pac turns around, but he manages to trip Darby up first! Pac then climbs up after Darby, hauls him up, and SUPER DUPER FALCON ARROWS! Cover, TWO!! Darby survives and the fans fire up again!
Pac frowns while Darby flounders out of the ring. The fans rally for Darby while Pac takes his time going to the outside. Pac looks under the ring, and he brings out a table! The fans cheer but the ref reprimands, this isn’t No Disqualifications! Pac still sets the table up nearby, making sure it lines up with the corner. Pac puts Darby on the table, then climbs up said corner. The fans freak out, anticipating what Pac is planning, and he steadies himself as he takes aim. Pac SUPER SHOOTING STARS but only gets table!! Darby avoids disaster, and Pac is somehow still in this after his crash landing! Darby puts Pac in, trips him, and steps through!
The fans fire up as Darby steps over, SCORPION DEATHLOCK!! Pac endures, reaches out, but Darby sits deep! Pac fights, claws, reaches out, and powers his way forward! ROPEBREAK! Darby lets Pac go, and Pac waves to the back. Well, of course The Death Riders are here! Darby spots Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia & Marina Shafir storming down the aisle, but then Pac CLOBBERS him! A distraction tactic is good enough as Pac now turns the proverbial tables. Then he signals for them to get something, and they bring out another table! The fans chant, “On The Green!” but Pac doesn’t care about that. He scoops Darby to go up the steel steps!
The fans boo as Pac tucks Darby in, TOMBSTONE on the steel steps! The fans go nuts as Darby flops to the floor! Wait, wait, wait, now The Death Riders have STACKED tables?! Pac smirks as he brings Darby back up, and he fireman’s carries Darby to bring him over. Darby goes to the backstage area while Collision goes picture in picture.
Pac carries Darby all the way around to the backstage area, because this is the only place to get upstairs! Pac SMACKS Darby off a wall on the way to the stairs, and the ref reprimands while Pac scares off curious fans. Pac drags Darby up the stairs with a headlock, and they go to the upper deck! Pac brings Darby past the nice bar and lounge area, the ref and Death Riders making sure fans don’t get too close. Pac SMACKS Darby off another wall, then drags Darby through this VIP seating area to go to the balcony. Pac stomps Darby to keep him down, then drags him to the balcony railing! And lo and behold, those stacked tables are right there!
The ref reprimands and the fans are freaking out already, but Pac is looking to toss Darby! Darby clings to the railing but Pac CLUBS him. Pac then drags Darby up, but Darby fires body shots! Fairway to Hell returns to single picture as Darby fights desperately! Darby CLAWS Pac’s back, but Marina shouts at Darby! The ref keeps her back, but that lets Pac LOW BLOW Darby! The Problem continues to be just that, but also the insurance policy for the Death Riders! Pac stands Darby up, and THROWS him off!! Darby crashes down through the tables!!! The fans lose their minds all over again while Pac hurries to go back downstairs!
AEW medical staff is already checking Darby as he’s down in the wreckage, but Pac says screw that! He fireman’s carries Darby and puts him back in the ring! Pac covers, TWO!!! Darby survives and the fans are thunderous! Pac and The Death Riders are in shock! Pac falls back to a corner as he shakes his head. Pac argues with the ref, but 2.99 still isn’t 3! The fans rally for Darby, but Pac storms over to him. Pac looms over Darby, Yuta slides a chair into the ring, but the ref snatches it away! Only for Marina to slide the title belt in! Pac takes aim while Darby rises, but then Darby springs to life! Pac has seen a ghost, or maybe a zombie!
Pac winds up, but Darby LOW BLOWS! And BELT SHOTS!! Darby gets Pac in place, goes up top, COFFIN DROP!! Cover, DARBY WINS!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
Pac said it himself, Darby is the indestructible boy! But can Darby keep this up? Or will The Alpha come through on his promise and bring this title back to the Don Callis Family this Wednesday?
My Thoughts:
A great hour of AEW here as this special edition of Collision, though “Fairway to Hell” is such a random thing to begin with. They must’ve made a business deal with SoFi and TGL, which to me might be more AEW helping TGL get noticed on a national scale. And changing the status quo with the National Championship was quite the surprise, but that’s still great for Davis. Ricochet being the reason why, and then that compelling The Elite jumping into Stadium Stampede is a bit convoluted. I get they’re using continuity of how Kenny hates Callis and vice-versa, but it undercuts what I was hoping for in Hurt Syndicate getting to introduce new members. But hey, 7v7 is pretty wild, too.
I appreciate Divine Dominion adding something to their squash matches with that five minute goal. Slay & Ley already set a good time with over two minutes, and I’m sure two minutes will be the average as they just dominate all summer. And it seems Alex Windsor is gonna be out a little longer than expected, given that adjustment for Double or Nothing. A Fatal 4 Way is still good for how Thekla can use her challengers against each other, or be protected in a loss if they choose. It also helps bring in the Shidalander story, but it also feels like we’re skipping chapters. That Fatal 4 Way can probably get us to the team breaking up and Shida turning on Statlander for their own feud.
Bailey VS Grey probably was a legit standby match, that went quick. And Knight had a decent promo saying he and Bailey are still gonna be JetSpeed going for all the gold. Not sure if that comes true or just sets things up for the team to fall apart. And then a really wild main event with the “No Count Out” match. They probably could’ve just called that No Holds Barred but they wanted to add heat on how The Death Riders were cheating the second half of that match. Both table spots were risky, but obviously Darby did the crazier one. AEW really needs to be careful not to push it much further than that, though.
Then the news of Okada being out for Dynamite, hopefully it’s nothing too tragic with his family. But Takeshita as the substitute is a good choice, this helps build the Okada VS Takeshita match at the same time as building Darby up. Pretty sure MJF accepts the terms of Title VS Hair, and it’d be very MJF if he were to announce that while attacking Darby to close the show on Wednesday.
My Score: 8.8/10
