Backstage interview with MJF.
Tony Schiavone welcomes in the true AEW World Champion ahead of his defense against Daniel Garcia, and MJF says, “Tony Schiavone, how’re you doing, ya fat old pr*ck?” Schiavone is doing well… But Schiavone wants to talk about how he feels about getting pinned by Jay White last week. MJF cuts Schiavone off there. “Three seconds is all it takes to end a world title reign. No one else has been able to do it, so congratulations, Jay, I want you to savor those three seconds, because it is NOT happening again.” Wait, MJF is getting a call? Adam Cole? MJF goes with video chat and syncs it to the nearest screen.
Cole’s face appears and MJF asks Cole what’s going on. Is he okay? Yeah, everything is fine, but Cole is just worried. It kills Cole he can’t be there to help MJF, but he will say this as MJF’s best friend. Full Gear is coming up and there’s the ROH World Tag title match against the Gunns, and… Okay, Cole knows MJF won’t want to hear this, but Cole thinks MJF has to take Samoa Joe up on his offer. Again with this? MJF says Adam’s been bringing this up all week. MJF is not picking Joe, it’s not happening, and MJF doesn’t need him! He can defend their titles alone against the Gunns. MJF will take care of the whole Bullet Club Gold after he deals with Garcia.
But then in walks Daniel Garcia, Matthew Menard & Angelo Parker. Garcia says, “Oh, you’re gonna handle me? You’re gonna handle me?” MJF wants Danny to calm down so they can talk. Why do you think MJF agreed to this world championship match? Because of Garcia’s “perfect” win-loss record? No, don’t think so. It’s because MJF believes in Garcia. He sees a bit of himself in Garcia, back when MJF used to listen to the “veterans” of this business, telling him how to run his business. MJF has proven that it is talent over tenure, and tonight he wants to give Garcia that same opportunity to do the same.
So here’s a question for him: Is MJF getting Danny Garcia, the sports enner-tay-ner? Or is he getting the professional wrestler? Garcia says tonight, MJF gets that pro-wrestler. MJF nods and the X-JAS head out. But then Roderick Strong rolls in with The Kingdom shouting for “ADAAAM~!” Cole sighs and Roddy is sure everyone already knows this, but Roddy is a wrestling legend. And he could easily give MJF some tips. MJF says what’s funny is that Roddy was a wrestling legend. But now, he has turned into a complete joke. MJF tells Cole that he’s gotta go, talk to him later. Cole says MJF’s got this, but Roddy again shouts “ADAAAM~!”
Roddy asks if Cole saw that. That is exactly what The Devil would do, dude! He would walk away! Roddy is telling Cole, that- Cole hangs up! Roddy seethes, and he says it is time. It is time to remind everyone exactly who the hell he is! Will the Savior of the Backbreaker prove he is truly a #NeckStrong wrestling legend?
AEW World Championship: MJF VS Daniel Garcia w/ Matthew Menard & Angelo Parker!
As we just heard, this really will be the actual AEW World Champion taking on an actual pro-wrestler! But will The People’s Scumbag still be their champion? Or will Red Death take his place at Full Gear against Jay White?
The introductions are made, the belt is still absent because of White’s thievery, but the winner here will look to take it back in Los Angeles!
The bell rings, the fans are all fired up for MJF, and the two circle. They tie up, MJF headlocks but Garcia wrenches out. MJF rolls, wrenches, and uses a leg to hook Garcia to spin and wrangle him. MJF traps an arm and goes for a leg! Garcia scrambles to the ROPEBREAK! MJF lets off quickly but says that’s one. And then MJF mocks the Garcia dance. Fans fire up and MJF revels in it. MJF tells Garcia to prove why he’s the future. They tie up, Garcia spins MJF and snapmares to chinlock. Fans chant “He’s Our Scumbag!” while MJF slips out but Garcia floats all over him. They end up in the ropes and the ref counts.
Garcia lets off and SLAPS MJF on the back of the head. Garcia hits the stance, but both Menard & Parker tell him to not do the dance! MJF says okay, Garcia’s still listening to his daddies, that’s fine. The two tie up, MJF puts Garcia in a corner but Garcia turns it around. The ref counts, Garcia pushes but lets off, and MJF applauds that. That’s the Garcia he wants! The two go again, and MJF says “Sportsmanship!” Fans chant for “Sportsmanship! Sportsmanship!” as MJF offers the handshake. Garcia sighs, but he puts his hand out, to SLAP the hand away! And then he hits the stance, but MJF pokes him in the eyes!
Fans cheer and MJF soaks it up with a big smile. Garcia swings wild but MJF wrenches and hammerlocks to scoop and SLAM! Garcia writhes from landing on the arm, but MJF clamps on. MJF tells Garcia to show us what he’s got, and Garcia endures. MJF eggs Garcia on but Garcia fights up. Garcia throws hands and forearms, then runs, but he KICKS MJF’s back drop away! Garcia wrenches, MJF wrenches back and WRINGS the arm out! MJF then clamps on, but Garcia rolls, only for MJF to wrench and gut wrench to a SIDE SLAM! Cover, TWO! MJF smirks and applauds that Garcia survived that unique move, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
MJF stomps Garcia’s bad arm, taunts Daddy Magic & Cool Hand Ange, then wraps Garcia’s arm around the ropes. Garcia endures, the ref counts, and MJF lets off at 4. MJF brings Garcia up to wrench the arm to an ELBOW BREAKER! MJF whips corner to corner and WRINGS Garcia out! Garcia writhes, MJF paces, and MJF goes back to Garcia. MJF stomps Garcia, drags him up, and wrenches him down to drop knees on the arm! MJF clamps onto the arm but Garcia fights the double wristlock. MJF drags Garcia up to YANK the arm, then whips him corner to corner, to WRING him out again! The ref checks Garcia while Menard & Parker coach him.
MJF drags Garcia up and keeps on that arm. Garcia hits back with forearms, but MJF pokes the eyes! Garcia goes to the apron, MJF drags him back in and whips corner to corner. But Garcia reverses and MJF hits buckles hard! Both men are down, Dynamite returns to single picture and the fans rally up. Both men rush in, Garcia dodges to CHOP! Garcia fires off forearms, and body shots, and he hammers away in the corner! The fans fire up with Garcia but MJF pokes him in the eyes again! MJF runs up but into a GERMAN SUPLEX! MJF flounders around, fans fire up with Garcia, as he DOES HIS DANCE! Even with one arm!
Garcia runs to DOUBLE KNEE, then roll to a deadlift BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO! MJF is still in this but Garcia drags MJF up. Garcia reels MJF in but MJF back drops! Cover, TWO! MJF swings, into a backslide! TWO, and Garcia gets MJF again! But the bad arm won’t let him lift! MJF SLAPS and SLAPS that arm, but Garcia clamps on! MJF breaks free but Garcia SLAPS him! And hits a SAIDO! MJF flounders to a corner, Garcia runs in, but MJF dodges! The knees hit buckles, and MJF goes up to DOUBLE STOMP the bad arm! Fans rally, MJF reels Garcia in to underhook, and SHOULDER BUSTER! SUPERKICK!
MJF reels Garcia back in, hammerlock and lift, for a ELEVATED DDT!! Cover, TWO!! Garcia is still in this but MJF smiles because he’s getting the pro-wrestler after all. Garcia kicks MJF from below but fans rally up. MJF goes for the arm, Garcia goes to ropes! The ref counts, MJF lets off fast and Garcia goes to the apron. So MJF brings Garcia in, slashes his throat, but Garcia throws MJF away. MJF goes to a corner, Garcia runs in but MJF pops him up to SUPERKICK him down! MJF then pushes Garcia, goes up the corner, “ADAM~!” But Garcia avoids the sunrise and the leg jams! Garcia BOOTS that leg, and DROPKICKS the other leg!
Fans fire up as Garcia hauls MJF back up, but between the bad arm and MJF being dead weight, he can’t do it. Fans rally and duel, Menard & Parker coach Garcia to put MJF away, and Garcia tries again. Garcia lifts, with one arm! PILEDRIVER!! Cover, TWO!!! MJF survives but Garcia steps through! DRAGONTAMER!! Fans are thunderous as Garcia does his best with the one good arm! MJF endures, Garcia dances his way into the bridge! But MJF grabs the bad arm and drags him down! SALT OF THE EARTH!! Garcia reaches back with the good arm, but MJF cranks back! Garcia TAPS, MJF wins!
Winner: MJF, by submission (still AEW World Champion)
MJF slays the Dragonslayer, but he brought out that fire inside Garcia! And because he’s learning to be a better person, MJF has his music cut so he can offer a genuine handshake to Garcia! Fans cheer that, but Garcia is hesitant. Garcia goes to genuinely take the handshake, but Parker & Menard stop him!? Fans boo but MJF asks if Garcia is gonna do this. Is Garcia really going to keep following Menard? Fans cheer for “DANNY! DANNY!” Garcia pushes past Menard but Menard pulls him back! The X-JAS head out together, so MJF takes the cheering for his own.
MJF warns Jay White that if he makes it through Mark Briscoe, he’s next! Will Full Gear’s main event stay as advertised? Or will King Switch get caught by the Sussex County Chicken?
Mark Briscoe speaks.
“Jay White, it’s been awhile since we’ve locked horns in the squared circle. We met many a time in tag team action, but this’ll be the first time one-on-one, Mark Briscoe VS Jay White. Jay, I remember when you was just cuttin’ teeth in the pro-wrestling business. I remember when you was sucking on the proverbial pro-wrestling teet. Back then, you couldn’t grow a beard if you wanted to. Look at ya now. Lookin’ like a grown ass rat! But you ain’t no man, cuz you got your henchmen, you got your little clowns doin’ your biddin’. But that’s aight, cuz I’m ready! From every angle, from every direction, the Sussex County Chicken, baybaby! Big Chicken in the big city, baybay! I’ma whoop dat ass!”
Darby Allin & Sting VS The Outrunners!
The Relentless Icons are ready to get Rated R with Adam Copeland in LA, but they’re going to tune-up here in Stumptown! Will they cut their opponents down like trees? Or will Turbo Floyd & Truth Magnum prove they ain’t seen nothin’ yet?
The teams sort out and Darby starts against Truth. They circle, tie up, and Darby headlocks. Truth powers up but Darby holds on tight. Truth pulls hair, fights up, but Darby hits a headlock takeover. Truth fights up, powers out and tags in Turbo, but Darby BLASTS Turbo first! Truth CLOBBERS Darby, then the Outrunners mug Darby. The ref reprimands, fans chant “We Want Sting!” but Turbo tags in Truth. Truth taunts Sting while Turbo digs his boots in, and then Truth stomps Darby! Tag back to Turbo, and Truth holds Darby in place for Turbo to ROCK him! Turbo keeps Darby from Sting, wrenches and whips, but Darby BLASTS Truth!
Turbo runs in to kick Darby low, then reels Darby in. Turbo copies Macho man but fans boo. Turbo suplexes, but Darby throws knees! Darby tags Sting while upside-down! Fans fire up as Darby and Sting pinball Turbo with CHOPS and backhands! Sting then runs to clothesline Turbo up and out! Fans fire up and Darby builds speed, but Truth trips him! Fans boo, Truth RAMS Darby into barriers and Turbo CLUBS Sting! The Outrunners mug Sting, Turbo tags Truth in, and they whip Sting to DOUBLE ELBOW! The Outrunners spin and gloat, but uh, Sting didn’t even budge… Sting watches them flex, and then he fires off LARIAT after LARIAT!
The Outrunners go to opposite corners, Darby returns, and Darby COFFIN SPLASHES Turbo while Truth gets the STINGER SPLASH! Then Darby & Sting trade, Coffin Splash for Truth and Stinger Splash for Turbo! Then Darby feeds Truth to Sting’s HAYMAKER! Darby tosses Turbo, Sting puts Truth in the SCORPION DEATHLOCK! Fans are thunderous, Truth TAPS, Sting & Darby win!
Winners: Darby Allin & Sting, by submission
The Relentless Icons are rolling, and now they join Adam Copeland this Saturday on Collision in a Trios match against Lance Archer & The Righteous! Will the three icons make it work against Vincent, Dutch & The Murderhawk Monster? Or will Jake The Snake’s new stable steal the glory from Christian Cage and retire Sting early?
Sit-down interview with Toni Storm and Hikaru Shida.
Tony Schiavone assures us not to adjust our televisions, this is in black ‘n’ white at the behest of #TimelessToni. And it is Schiavone’s understanding that Miss Storm has made the challenge for the AEW Women’s World Championship at Full Gear. “That is correct, Mr. Shavon.” And Hikaru Shida, the first three-time AEW Women’s World Champion, four successful defenses already, and has never been pinned or submitted this entire year. What are her thoughts? Shida flat out asks what happened to Storm. She wants the title? Don’t think so. She just wants more attention for her silly acting!
Storm tells Shida that Shida happened to her! Storm was meant to walk into Wembley Stadium with the title and then Shida happened. And Storm thought it’d be fine, dust off the knees and get up, so that she could become the first-ever Three-Time Women’s World Champion! Then Shida happened again! Well, Shida doesn’t happen anymore! Storm happens! She couldn’t make history, but she became history! Shida may have that title now, but she will never have the spotlight. Because it belongs to Storm! Storm takes the contract from Schiavone, signs her part, and hands it back. So “Hic-a-roo,” let’s make this simple, and wrap it up at five.
Shida says she doesn’t understand, but she still signs. And what will happen is what always happens! Shida beats Storm. Very well. But there is a saying in show business: chin up, chest out, and watch for the shoe! Shida snatches that shoe and throws it away. Will Storm snatch that title away in her Hollywood Homecoming? Or will this tiebreaker go to the Shining Samurai?
Swerve Strickland w/ Prince Nana VS Penta El Zero Miedo w/ Alex Abrahantes!
The leader of Mogul Embassy put AR Fox in the rear mirror, but his past is still coming back to haunt him. Swerve violated the sanctity of Hangman Page’s family home, and that doesn’t sit well with this fearless family man. Will Penta humble Swerve on Hangman’s behalf? Or will Swerve tear it down in Rip City?
The bell rings and fans rally up as the two circle. The two tie up, Swerve gets around and goes for the mask! Penta shakes free and the ref reprimands, but Swerve grins as he rests with Penta. They tie up, and again Swerve wants the mask! Penta throws elbows, runs, but Swerve drops. Penta jumps over, Swerve hurdles and Penta leaps over. But then Swerve handsprings over the roll-back, keeps moving, and Swerve jumps and RANAS! Fans fire up as Penta goes to the corner. Swerve runs to UPPERCUT, snapmare, and hops up to FALLING UPPERCUT! Fans fire up as Swerve hits the Griddy, but then he mocks Cero Miedo.
Swerve stomps Penta, drags him up and wrenches to a wristlock. Swerve wraps the arm around ropes, then CHOPS! Fans “WOO~” and then Swerve KICKS the legs out! Nana gets a “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” chant going. Swerve tortures Penta’s hand and he bends the fingers! Penta has the ROPEBREAK but Swerve holds on until the ref counts 4. Swerve drags Penta back up, but Penta wrenches and CHOPS! Fans “WOO~” again and Swerve CHOPS back! Penta CHOPS again, and fans “WOO~!” Swerve CHOPS, but Penta CHOPS! Swerve kicks low, stomps the fingers, and Penta shakes the hand out.
Swerve drags Penta up by the mask, Penta taunts Swerve, but Swerve grabs Penta’s tongue and pulls! Swerve then CLUBS Penta down, whips him to a corner, but Penta goes up and over to BACKSTABBER! Both men are down, Swerve falls out of the ring, and fans fire up! Penta builds speed, but Swerve UPPERCUTS in the ropes! Swerve drags Penta up to SNAKE EYES off the steel steps! Nana tells the Penta fans to shut up, Swerve gets in the ring and he builds speed. But Penta moves, so Swerve handsprings up and out. Swerve lands on his feet, only for Penta to SUPERKICK him down! And then Penta runs up, but Swerve puts him on the apron.
Penta mule kicks from above! And then he jumps in, builds speed and he FLIES! Direct hit at the ramp and Portland is thunderous while both men are down! Penta rises and even Abrahantes is fired up as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Penta hears the fans chant “CERO MIEDO!” and he storms up on Swerve. Penta drags Swerve up, around, and throws body shots. Penta puts Swerve up against the post, to CHOP! Swerve sputters while fans fire up, and Penta stalks Swerve back into the ring. Penta drags Swerve back out, brings him around, and hushes the fans. Penta CHOPS Swerve again! Swerve sputters and falls, writhes on the ground, but Penta refreshes the ring count before standing him back up. Swerve dodges and Penta CHOPS THE POST! Penta clutches his hand, Swerve PENALTY KICKS him from the apron!
Nana taunts Penta but Abrahantes backs him off. Swerve drags Penta up and in, covers, TWO! Fans rally for Penta, but Swerve drags him to the ropes to CHOKE him! The ref counts and Swerve lets off, and they argue. Swerve goes back to DECK Penta! Penta still taunts Swerve in return but Swerve stands him up. Dynamite returns to single picture as Swerve SLAPS Penta! And pie faces him! And CHOPS him! Penta eggs Swerve on so Swerve CHOPS! Penta turns things around to CHOP! Swerve CHPOS, Penta CHOPS, repeat, and fans fire up! Penta winds up, Swerve catches but barely! Swerve swings but Penta catches him!
Penta half nelsons, pump handles, but Swerve arm-drags free of the lift! Penta returns, but into a half nelson from Swerve! Penta arm-drags free, and both men DOUBLE LARIAT! DOUBLE BOOT! DOUBLE ROUNDHOUSE! Penta spins for ROLLING- HAYMAKER from Swerve! But Penta SUPERKICKS! Both men run up to DOUBLE LARIAT and this time they fall! Fans are thunderous, “This is Awesome!” as both men go to corners. They run in, Swerve BOOTS! Swerve runs, Penta follows, Swerve dodges but Penta dodges, to SLINGBLADE! And SLINGBLADE again! Penta fireman’s carries, to DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Cover, TWO!!
Swerve survives and shocks Portland but Penta stays focused. Penta brings Swerve up, Swerve gets free and KICKS Penta away. Swerve storms up on Penta at the ropes, but Penta fights the whip to TOSS Swerve up and out! Swerve hits the apron hard, and then drags himself back up. Penta goes to the corner, triangle jump and APRON DESTROYER!! Fans are thunderous again and losing their minds as Swerve is down on the outside! Penta drags Swerve up, puts him in, and Penta goes up the corner. “CERO! MIEDO!” DIVING DOUBLE STOMPS! Cover, TWO!! Swerve is still in this and Penta is stunned!
Nana shouts that Swerve is hurt, the ref should stop this! Penta tells Nana he’ll be more than hurt! Swerve shoves Penta away, but then Penta goes up and around, only for Swerve to stop Penta from going over. Swerve makes it a FLIP BOMB into the corner! Cover, TWO!! Penta survives and goes to the apron. Swerve storms up but Penta GAMANGIRIS! Penta slingshots into a CHOP! Swerve sits Penta down to SUPERKICK! Penta dangles off the apron, Swerve SLINGSHOT WOE STOMPS Penta to the floor!! Swerve drags Penta up and in while fans lose their minds again. Swerve goes up and takes aim, 450 SPLASH into an armbar!!
Penta has that arm tied up, then he goes for the other! DARK SACRIFICE!! Swerve writhes from his arm being snapped like that! Penta drags Swerve up, MADE IN JAPAN!! Cover, TWO?!? Swerve survives but just barely! Penta drags Swerve up and reels him in, but Swerve back drops! Penta sunset flips, but Swerve rolls through, HOUSE- NO, Penta dodges the call and runs, PUNT to the side! Penta drags Swerve up, “CERO! MIEDO!” FEAR- NO, Swerve slips free to CHOP Penta on the neck! Swerve uses the ropes to go up and around, then he lifts Penta, bomb position to fireman’s carry, for the DEATH VALLEY DRIVER!!
Swerve copies Penta’s move and traps one arm to pull the other! Swerve STOMPS the arm!! Then he goes up top, to hit the KILLSHOT!!! Cover, Swerve wins!
Winner: Swerve Strickland, by pinfall
These two went back to the Underground Temple with this one! And yet Swerve isn’t done, he wants to pull that mask off! But HANGMAN PAGE gets in, with a chair!! Swerve & Nana run away but Hangman pursues!! He SMACKS Swerve on the ramp! Nana runs for the hills, and Hangman SMACKS Swerve again! And again! Security rushes out but they get chair shots for their troubles! Referees run out, Hangman picks Swerve up, DEADEYE off the stage and through tables!! Fans lose their minds all over again as Hangman tells Swerve he’s a dead man! The refs drag Hangman away, will The Cowboy and the Mogul even make it to Full Gear?!
Backstage interview with Bullet Club Gold.
Alex Marvez is with Juice Robinson, Austin & Colten Gunn, and Jay White as he brings up White facing Mark Briscoe in tonight’s main event. And if Mark beats White tonight, Mark gets the spot at Full Gear to challenge MJF for the title. White says yeah, he’ll get to Mark soon enough. But look at them! Look at where they are, look at where White is: Still with the Bang Bang Belt on his shoulder. The gang took a break for a week but White still tuned in for Collision last Saturday. And what did he see? White pins MJF 1-2-3 on Dynamite and what happens? What was MJF’s response? MJF said, “Hey, Jay, why don’t you go compare our names on some graph charts on the internet.”
White says that is up there, or rather down there, with the long, drawn-out analogy about how White is tofu. But this is Max’s world, right? He wants us to play along? Well, White will indulge MJF. MJF, the reason the graphs are like that is cuz you spend all of your free time searching your own name, hoping one day that you’ll see those graphs in a way that appeases all those insecurities you have, and how no matter what happens, no matter what you do, Jay White has and always will be better than MJF, and MJF knows it. That is why everyone breathes with the Switchblade!
Because everyone sees now that they can first-hand compare MJF to J A Y, that Jay White is truly elite. And he will show that tonight against Mark Briscoe. MJF, just sit back and watch.
Don Callis speaks.
There’s an M for Mature warning given before creepy Callis says, “Order is an illusion created for the weak. There is no order here, only chaos, violence and revenge. My vision of your future is the only law that matters. You label us ‘organized crime,’ but what we are is a family. As a family, we believe in unquestioned loyalty, in taking what we want, and in inflicting pain on anyone who crosses out path. You think you’re safe in the street? You’re not. Unconstrained by AEW rules, we plan to do what you cannot even fathom.
“This isn’t one of your video games where you can say and do whatever you want,” despite there being footage from the newest Like a Dragon game as part of this. “No, this match has consequences. And those consequences will be paid in pain and in blood.”
Kenny Omega responds.
“We both know that this doesn’t end until one of us is gone. I’ve been beaten, I’ve been broken. But like a koi fish struggling to swim up stream, I am equally as desperate to see you gone. What you’ve called my weakness has always been my strength. You want me to be like the Cleaner, like the Belt Collector, like the Best Bout Machine. You’re gonna get something like that, in the Like a Dragon Street Fight. Good-bye, and good night.” Like a Dragon: The Man Who Erased His Name, out now on all platforms!
Backstage interview with Kenny Omega & Chris Jericho.
Renee Paquette is with the Golden Jets and says next week in California, it will be like a final boss battle as they team with Kota Ibushi & Paul Wight to take on the full Don Callis Family. This is such a personal match for both men, how are they feeling ahead of it? Jericho says that when Callis proposed this challenge, he didn’t realize that Ibushi and Wight would have the backs of these two. These two have some good friends, Renee, some big friends. But wait, the Young Bucks walk in and sarcastically say it’s been awhile. Matt Jackson says they set up camp with the extras in the broom closet since there’s no space in the Elite’s locker room with Jericho’s big bags.
But hey, they like what’s going on here with this tag team. Nice promo. Heard they had a cool new name, too! Golden Jets! Bet that was Jericho’s idea. Matt remembers another cool name for a team: The Elite. The guys who started this whole damn company! That was a cool name, too. Jericho says it’s funny, The Bucks talking about being Kenny’s friend, but they didn’t have his back when Hobbs beat the hell out of him with a steel chair. And as far as starting AEW, wasn’t it the four of them who got this started? Yes, of course Jericho would put himself on a pedestal.
But the way Matt remembers it, Kenny & The Bucks started this revolution, and what’d Jericho do? Oh, yeah, waltzed right in and cashed another big check. Jericho wants The Bucks to remember who they’re talking to. This is Kenny Effin’ Omega and Chris Jericho. Two of the greatest to ever do this in the history of pro-wrestling. So while The Bucks are perhaps the greatest tag team of all time, kudos on that, but Jericho still thinks he and Omega could beat them. Oh? Oh, really? Well, there’s a big show coming up, right? And the Bucks aren’t doing anything, and it seems Jericho & Omega aren’t doing anything.
And this big event is booked in the Bucks’ hometown of Los Angeles, right? It’s called Full Gear. So great idea: Kenny Omega & Chris Jericho VS The Young Bucks! Well, uh… Jericho likes that idea. But let’s put more steam on it. When Jericho & Omega beat the Bucks, and they will, that guaranteed title shot the Bucks are sitting on goes to them! Matt likes where this is going. Let’s up the ante more! When the Bucks beat Jericho & Omega, which they will, pinning Jericho for that matter, this whole Golden Jets experiment is no more. And then The Elite can be The Elite again! What does Omega say?
Kenny says if this is about who is the greatest tag team of all time, then it’s The Bucks. Omega doesn’t wanna wrestle them. But if they’re asking if he thinks he can beat them… Well, he did it before. Kenny & Ibushi, Kenny & Hangman. This attitude the Bucks are bringing in, claiming Omega & Jericho can’t rise to the challenge, they can do it. If they really wanna do this all over again, then they’re on. And then maybe the Bucks will clean up their acts and start acting like adults, and not a couple “sissy, whiney, bitchy children.” Wow, first time it’s been put like that. Well, they had to hear it from someone who knows them like Kenny. See you in LA.
Kenny heads out and Jericho says he’ll gladly take these two to the woodshed, and beat their spoiled brat asses. And by the way, Jericho has his own dressing room. Jericho heads out and the Bucks are speechless. But will they be able to throw a Superkick Party and hold onto those golden tickets? Or will those tickets soon give the Golden Jets their shot at the AEW World Tag Team Championships?
ROH World Television Championship: Samoa Joe VS Keith Lee!
The One True King of Wrestling Television is now the longest reigning ROH World Television Champion in history, yet is not satisfied until he is the One True King of Wrestling PERIOD. However, will his split focus cost him against the Limitless One? Or is the only thing with no limit the viciousness within Samoa Joe?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if Joe can hold onto this crown while going for another!
The bell rings and the Code of Honor is upheld. The fans rally, chant for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” because these are two meaty men about to slap meat! They tie up, are in a deadlock, but Keith finds a point of leverage to push Joe back. Joe turns things around, the ref counts and Joe lets off with a shove. Keith brushes that off and circles with Joe. Fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” again as the two tie up. Joe headlocks, Keith powers up but Joe squeezes tight. Keith still powers up to power out, and they RAM shoulders! Neither falls, and Keith smirks. Joe rakes the eyes then runs, to run Keith over!
Joe flexes and fans are torn, but Joe runs again. Keith dodges to then run Joe over! Fans fire up as Keith looms over Joe. Joe stands, Keith CLUBS Joe on the back! Fans sing “OH~ Bask in His Glory!” Keith fires hands on Joe in a corner, follows him to another corner, and pushes his hands in to Joe’s face, before the GRIZZLY MAGNUM hits Joe in the chest! Joe sputters and crawls, Keith drags Joe up with a sleeper and he gives back the claw to the eyes! The ref reprimands, Keith fishhooks and the ref counts. Keith lets off, and fans chant “MEAT FOREVER!” Keith CHOKES Joe on the ropes, the ref counts, and Keith lets off.
Keith stands Joe up but Joe CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! Then he JABS, JABS and JABS in the corner! Joe goes high, goes low, fires off fast and from all sides, then he ELBOWS Keith down! Fans fire up while Joe hobbles away. Joe storms back up on Keith, stands him up and HEADBUTTS! Joe runs, but Keith HURDLES!? Then he drops and CROSSBODIES Joe! Fans are thunderous as Joe bails out, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ring count climbs while Joe sputters, but Keith goes out after him. Keith drags Joe up, SMACKS him off the apron, and then follows him around the way. Joe turns around into Keith’s JAB! And JAB! And body shot! Keith backs Joe down, throws fast hands and ROCKS Joe with a left! Fans fire up and Joe CHOPS in return! Keith scowls but Joe CHOPS again! And again! Joe brings Keith around but Keith blocks apron bump to give apron bump! Joe gets into the ring, Keith fist bumps some fans and gets back in the ring. Keith drags Joe up, bumps him off buckles, and RAMS into him! And again! And again!
Keith pushes his shoulder into Joe, but lets off as the ref counts, to then scrape Joe with a forearm! Keith stands Joe up again, to CHOP! Fans rally, Joe HEADBUTTS, and Joe JABS! JABS! And BACKHANDS! Joe fires off, backs Keith down to another corner, and then he brings Keith around to reel him in. But Keith suplexes first! Both meaty men are down on the mat but Keith snarls as he stands up first. Keith storms up on Joe, throws hands, and Dynamite returns to single picture. Fans still chant “MEAT FOREVER!” as Keith puts Joe in a corner. Keith throws more body shots, and fans chant “MEAT! MEAT!” with every punch!
Keith throws knees, lets off with a roar and fans fire up with him! Keith brings Joe up, wrenches and whips, but Joe reverses to clinch and lift, KNEE BUSTER! Keith clutches his legs and Joe smirks. Joe then looms over Keith, and he stomps the legs! Fans rally, Joe stomps Keith more and taunts him. Keith goes to a corner, Joe stalks him, and Joe drags Keith up.

But Joe slips out, COQUINA CLUTCH!! Joe has the body scissors!! Keith is caught, fans are thunderous, and Keith reaches out! Joe squeezes tight, Keith kicks around, but those scissors are on tight, too! Keith is OUT, Joe wins!!
Winner: Samoa Joe, by referee stoppage (still ROH World Television Champion)
The Limitless One still had one limit: he needs to breathe! The king stays atop his throne, but Joe gets a mic. “What stands before you is the greatest ROH Television Champion of all time.” Fans cheer that! Joe also says, “But I did not come here to merely be your Television Champion. I said hunger is what defines the greats. Well consider me officially hungry. As of tonight, IÂ VACATE the ROH Television Championship!!” Fans are shocked! Joe sets the record, gets one last defense in, and gives up the throne?! “Because the next gold that is going to be on my shoulder will be the AEW World Championship! Whether you like it or not, Max!!”
The One True King of Wrestling Television doesn’t care about the past but only the future! Will he be tearing into The People’s Scumbag soon enough? Or will he be switching course to target the Switchblade after Full Gear?
Orange Cassidy speaks.
With Hook having a milkshake by his side, Freshly Squeezed tells Jon Moxley, “You must’ve lost your mind. Saying that I overlooked you. That I don’t respect you. You are the only person I have been thinking about since you left me in a pool of my own blood in Chicago after taking my AEW International Championship. And I’m sorry that when the opportunity knocked, I didn’t pick up the pieces of Rey Fenix, I picked up the pieces of the International Championship that you dropped. And now, holding it, it doesn’t feel the same. Because I need to beat you. I have to beat you, in order to be the International Champion that I know I am.”
Cassidy takes off his sunglasses to get serious. At Full Gear, Cassidy WILL beat Moxley! The Maniac has been put on notice, but will Moxley tear this title away from Cassidy all over again? Or will this all come full circle at Full Gear?
The Gunns w/ Juice Robinson VS The Bollywood Boyz!
Speaking of Full Gear, Austin & Colten are gearing up for their ROH World Tag Team Championship match with MJF in the Zero Hour. They want to again be tag team champion brothers, will they shoot down the Sihra Brothers to keep up the momentum? Or will it be Lights, Camera and Bollywood action for Gurv & Harv?
The teams sort out, Colten starts against Harv, and Juice parades Cardblade around. The fans taunt the “ASS~ BOYS!” but Colten kicks Harv low. Colten CLOBBERS Harv, Austin runs in to BLAST Gurv! Fans boo but Austin returns to his corner to tag in. The Gunns then lock ‘n’ load, 3:10 TO YUMA for Harv! Cover, The Gunns win!
Winners: The Gunns, by pinfall
Austin & Colten shut Bollywood down fast, and now Colten gets a mic. Fans boo but Colten tells Max, “You are a liar. You have been lying to these people for years. You call yourself a generational talent, but you are not that. You’ve been telling sob story after sob story, about how you didn’t make it. ‘Hey, four to five months, come on back.’ That’s not what a generational talent does. Do you think LeBron James went to the NBA and they said, ‘Uh-uh, not yet.’ No, he walked into the league, and ran that b*tch from day one like me and Austin! We’ve never been told ‘no!’ We’ve neve been told we’re not ready! We were made for TV!
“We’ve been doing this for three years, and we are former AEW Tag Champs! We are about to be ROH Tag Champs! Because WE are generational talents!” Fans boo harder as Austin gets the mic to tell MJF he is an “embarrassment as a champion. For the past three months, you’ve defended the ROH titles ONE TIME! Now the only friends you have left are on the other side of this guardrail. And I pray to God that you pick one of these fat POS’s as your partner for Full Gear so we can send ’em on a ride on the 3:10 to Yuma!” Austin continues to say, “Max, Full Gear, November 18th, The Forum, the ROH titles go back in the hands of a REAL tag team!”
The fans still taunt the Ass Boys as Austin says if you’re not down with that, they’ve got two words for ya! GUNS UP! MJF sees this, and then in steps Joe… MJF looks at Joe’s smirking face and then leaves. Will MJF listen to Adam Cole’s idea to actually team with the man that wants his AEW World title? Or will he live and die in that tag title match 2v1?
Jon Moxley speaks.
Wheeler Yuta is with him as he says “We heard what Orange Cassidy had to say, and I knew it! I knew it! I’ve been getting calls all week. ‘You should let Orange Cassidy of the hook, man. He didn’t do anything wrong, all he did was take an opportunity.’ I knew it, Orange knew exactly what he was doing, stepping on my territory, taking my match. This ain’t about some belt, man. It’s about the laws of nature. This business is a jungle, and the BCC are the dominant pack of predators within. What kind of example am I setting for young Wheeler here if IÂ don’t beat the ever loving piss outta you, Orange?
“What kind of example are you setting for this kid, this Hook? Teaching him that he can just do and say whatever he wants and it’s fine? There will be no repercussions? HR will step in and save him? What kind of example are you setting for the people who think you’re some kind of hero, huh? You don’t even deserve to get to Full Gear, you don’t even deserve to make it to Sunday. So the minute we land at LAX, it’s on! Gang warfare, you and whoever you wanna bring. If you even make it to Full Gear, good for you. Hook, Young Boy. Please take notes, if your fingers still work.”
Yuta then adds that Hook might think of himself as some tough guy, but Yuta guarantees that he crossed the wrong crew. “See you in Cali, pretty boy.” The Blackpool Combat Club is ready for combat, but will they soon regret calling out #OrangeHook?
Wardlow speaks.
“My first three years in AEW were a living hell. I had a foot on my neck. I have felt one of the worst things a man can feel, and that is his potential being wasted. I have felt worthless. And it’s because of one man. You won’t know when, you won’t know where, but when you find out, it will be too late. Max, the days of The Devil ruling over AEW are coming to an end!” The War Dog is hunting MJF down, when will he choose to strike?
Julia Hart VS Red Velvet!
The Lady of the House is back in action, still seething from Skye Blue actually resisting the power of the mist. But will Julia perhaps have better luck with Red Velvet? Or will Red’s own return to action be upsetting for Julia?
The bell rings and fans rally up as these two stare down. They slowly approach, tie up, and go around. Fans cheer as the two are evenly matched, but Julia manages to put Velvet in a corner. Julia lets off and the fans cheer, and then Velvet shoots in to roll Julia up! ONE, but Velvet says she’s gonna stir it up. They circle, tie up, and Velvet arm-drags!

Julia leaves Velvet behind to refresh the ring count, and then she TOSSES Velvet up the ramp!
Julia stomps Velvet, drags her up, and TOSSES her back down the ramp! Velvet tumbles, Julia talks trash, and she puts Velvet back in the ring. Cover, TWO! Julia seethes but she drags Velvet up and whips her to ropes, to then ELBOW her down! Julia has an evil smile as she clamps on a chinlock. Julia grinds Velvet down but Velvet endures, even as Julia leans all her weight on the hold. Velvet fights up but Julia wrangles her back down, and Dynamite returns to single picture. The fans rally up, Velvet fights back with body shots, and she JAWBREAKERS free! Velvet runs, Julia runs up to ELBOW her!
Julia runs, Velvet follows to DROPKICK! Fans fire up and both women rise. Velvet roars and runs in to LARIAT! And LARIAT again! Velvet keeps moving to wheelbarrow, and BULLDOG! Fans fire up with Velvet and she runs side to side to DOUBLE KNEE Julia against ropes! Velvet YANKS ropes to snap Julia back, and then STANDING MOONSAULTS! Cover, TWO! Julia is still in this and Velvet grows frustrated. Fans rally up as Julia flounders to a corner. Velvet runs up but into an elbow! Julia goes up, but Velvet CHOPS her on the back! Velvet turns Julia around to SLAP her, then ICONCLASM! Cover, TWO!!
Julia survives again but Velvet grits her teeth. Velvet gets Julia up, Julia shoves back and SUPERKICKS! Velvet falls and Julia drags her into a drop zone. Fans duel as Julia stomps Velvet into place. Julia then goes up and up, and fans fire up for the MOONSAULT! Cover, Julia wins!
Winner: Julia Hart, by pinfall
That was a bad moonsault rising, but as the song says, The House always wins! And Julia then clamps on HARTLESS!! Fans are torn but Velvet taps! Julia refuses to let go, but here comes Skye Blue! Skye storms out to get in Julia’s face, and Julia looks into Skye’s eyes. The eyes are the windows to the soul, so maybe there’s still some darkness in there. Julia is getting mad, though, but wait! Here comes Kris Statlander and Willow Nightingale! Kris & Willow are Skey’s friends and they stand by her, but Skye moves away from Kris. Julia takes her leave, Willow helps Velvet up. Where exactly are the battlelines drawn in this one?

RJ City is backstage.
“The Regrettable” RJ City says you may have heard some rumblings, and yes, they are true! The newest AEW signing is Mariah May. May says it is so nice to meat RJ, and she is excited to be All Elite. So then, what are her intentions? Uh, intentions? Y’know, her plans, goals, what she’s after. Oh, well, she’s wrestled all over the world, just came from Stardom in Japan, and she is so excited to be in the AEW Women’s Division. And, she’s a big fan of RJ’s work. Wow, really? Yeah, him and Toni Storm! Storm is a big reason why Mariah went to Stardom in the first place. And now Storm is in AEW so May is in AEW.
Oh, Storm just left but hey, maybe next week, RJ can arrange an introduction. Really?! Mariah is so excited, she kisses RJ! RJ composes himself and welcomes Mariah May to AEW. But is Mariah going to be able to focus on her own career here if she’s fangirling all over Storm?
AEW World Championship Right to Challenge: Jay White w/ Bullet Club Gold VS Mark Briscoe!
The Switchblade keeps acting like he’s the real world champion here, but his ego might be deflated just 10 days away from Full Gear! Will White fail to stay truly elite? Or will he be able to make even the Sussex County Chicken breathe with the Switchblade?
The bell rings and the fans fire up as Mark and White circle. They tie up, are in a deadlock, and they go around the way. Mark puts White on ropes but White puts Mark in a corner.

Winner: Jay White, by pinfall (still heading to Full Gear)
His first ever 1v1 with Mark Briscoe might be an instant classic, but what matters is that White wins and still has the Triple B on his shoulder. But wait! Here comes MJF!! At least, his music hit. But wait! While everyone is watching the ramp, MJF slides in from the stands! Juice turns around, DIAMOND RING PUNCH!! DIAMOND RING PUNCH for Colten and DIAMOND RING PUNCH for Austin, too!!! White freaks out as he sees he’s all alone with MJF! White is foaming at the mouth, MJF has the ring in hand! White runs away!! Fans boo but what else did we expect from White?
MJF gets a mic to tell White to look at him. “I hope you’ve had fun playing dress-up as top guy. Because pretty soon, playtime’s almost over. You are gonna have to get in the ring with the REAL World Champion, with the Generational Talent, with Maxwell Jacob Friedman, M J F! When I won that title, I made a promise to myself that I was gonna go down as the greatest AEW World Champion of all time or die trying. And that’s what you’ll be dealing with, Jay. You are going to have to kill me to beat me. Do you understand? Because I’m not just fighting for me anymore! For the first time in my life, I am fighting for everybody who has been on this journey with me since day one!
“I am fighting for Adam Cole! I am fighting for you, watching at home! I am fighting for everyone in this arena! Cuz I’m not just a scumbag, I’m THEIR Scumbag!” Fans chant “He’s Our Scumbag!” and MJF asks White a question: Full Gear, when MJF is the only thing between Jay White and immortality, will the leader of the Bang Bang Gang, “the man who’s always carrying around a fake little gun,” be able to be the first man to pull the GADDAM TRIGGER!? Wait, the lights go down? And in the backstage area, those masked goons are back! They’re beating up The Acclaimed 4v3!! But why!? Because they’re MJF’s friends now?!
Caster gets thrown into a door, and Bowens gets thrown through a window!! And then, The Devil of AEW is on screen! MJF is stunned, and we now know for sure that it is NOT MJF! MJF is here and he runs backstage to go find where The Acclaimed were. He freaks out as he sees Billy, Caster and Bowens down with his own eyes. Joe asks what happened. He’s running out of friends! Damn. Joe chuckles as he leaves, did he have something to do with this? Or is he just enjoying watching MJF squirm as the walls are closing in?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite, almost awesome really, if not for some parts that seemed rather confusing. My apologizes to Miss Mariah May, but her joining AEW isn’t exactly big news, even if she was in Stardom. But maybe they’re building to her being Storm’s sidekick so things can circle back to Storm and the Outcasts. Saraya & Soho VS Storm & May could be some fun stuff. Speaking of, Toni and Shida had a great contract signing promo with Tony “Shavon.” Their match is going to be great given the history between them, and really could go either way. But with that idea I just had, Storm could totally win so that she has to worry about Saraya & Soho coming after her for the title and May helps her against the Outcasts’ antics.
We got really good promos that also helped advertise for the newest sequel to the Yakuza spinoff, Like a Dragon. And then we did get a good promo from Omega, Jericho and The Bucks. But why is the 8 Man Tag Street Fight on TV while the tag team title contenders match is on PPV? Though, I suppose with the Street Fight being ad integration, that is going to be on TV for the ad revenue, and then it can just be whatever in that tag match. So the feud with Don Callis Family is going to end on TV, and Omega & Jericho are gonna try and move on to get those tag titles from Ricky Starks & Big Bill? That feels weird, but then so does the alternative of Omega being forced into ending his newfound friendship with Jericho to go back to his bratty friends.
Because for one, being passive aggressive punk friends is already a position taken up by Roderick Strong & The Kingdom. They had a hilarious part in the opening promo segment with MJF and Adam Cole, and Roddy’s threat about reminding everybody of his “legend” status is good stuff. And now that I think about it, it’d be so fitting of Roddy was The Devil of AEW. His henchmen would of course be Taven, Bennett, and now Cole Karter & Griff Garrison because of ROH having Maria bring those two into an extended Kingdom faction. Honestly, that feels like the best possibility for that group’s true identities.
Awesome ROH World Television Championship match, and a bit of a shame that Keith Lee lost. Especially when you consider Samoa Joe just vacates it! Though considering we saw Dalton Castle move on from his story with Samoa Joe by getting back into Trios action with The Boys, this should’ve been obvious. Joe is now fully involved with his part in MJF’s story, which we saw plenty of tonight, including after the Devil beat down Acclaimed. MJF VS Garcia was an awesome title match to start us off, and I was just as excited as the fans were to see Garcia embracing professional wrestling, and almost breaking away from Menard & Parker. He has got to do that soon, and then just dance all over Menard after he knocks him down.
Darby & Sting of course defeat The Outrunners, but we didn’t see anything of Christian Cage, his crew, or Adam “Edge” Copeland, because they’re clearly saving all of that for Saturday. Awesome match of Swerve VS Penta and great win for Swerve, but also great bit of Hangman running out to get him. Another thing that makes the Bucks bad friends is that they aren’t more supportive of Hangman going after Swerve. Yeah, they lost the ROH World Six Man titles but that’s because they weren’t all united in getting even with Swerve. They’re all husbands and fathers, why was it Penta who had to step to Swerve and not The Bucks? Why did Ibushi and Wight have to step up to be the partners in the Street Fight? Bucks are being jerks in this phase.
Good promo from Wardlow but it felt like one promo too much when this isn’t even the go-home yet. But good promos from #OrangeHook and BCC to set up a tag match that then feeds into the International Championship. Cassidy VS Moxley might actually be a show stealer because of how these two are after each other. And honestly, the tag match might even give us Hook VS Yuta for the FTW Championship in the Zero Hour since Tony Khan always shoves four matches on that thing. Though, if that’s the case, he really should put a TBS Championship match on there. Julia VS Velvet was really good, and we got a good stare down of Julia and Skye, and then Kris and Willow showing up. Fatal 4 for the TBS title maybe?
Also feels like we got a little too much Bang Bang Gang. Gunns squashing Bollywood Boyz so hard felt more like a Rampage thing than Dynamite. Give that extra time to one of the other matches to make them even better. But good promo from those guys, and from White. Awesome match of White VS Briscoe, but of course White finds a way to win. MJF going after them was great, as was his promo on them, but now with Acclaimed attacked by the thugs who may or may not be The Kingdom, it definitely feels like MJF has no choice but to accept Joe as a partner in the tag title match. Joe helps MJF retain those titles so that after MJF beats White, MJF has to face Joe at Worlds End.
My Score: 8.8/10

Parking Lot Brawl: Trent Beretta VS Chuck Taylor!
Years of friendship, thrown away, and why? Because #JustTrent had a problem with Freshly Squeezed having more success in AEW than them? Because #JustTrent had a problem with Cassidy as a person? Because #JustTrent turned out to be the selfish one in the relationship? Well, then will #JustTrent get his ass kicked? Or will he take advantage of how Chuckie T. is a Kentucky Gentleman?
Trent stares Chuck down while we hear the crowd of other wrestlers taunting him. Trent takes a swing, but Chuck dodges to fire off hands! The brawl is on, and Chuck gets the edge! Chuck ROCKS Trent, then SMACKS him off a car hood! And then off the car door! Chuck drags Trent up, but Trent RAMS Chuck into the car! And throat chops him just because! Trent gets space, runs back in, but Chuck dodges so Trent hits the passenger door! Chuck gets a trash can lid and he stands Trent up. Trent jumps through the open window but Chuck drags him back out. Trent kicks low, and he gives Chuck a CAR HOOD BACK SUPLEX!
Trent grabs the trash can lid, SMACKS Chuck right in the head and Chuck falls down! The crowd boos but Trent opens a car trunk to bring out a trash can, a dustpan and a baseball bat! Chuck storms up but Trent CHUCKS the trash can into Chuck’s face! Chuck flounders and Trent smirks. Trent SMACKS Chuck with the trash can, CLUBS him around, and Chuck is busted open! The white car has red polka dots on it now, and Trent talks trash, “This is what you wanted?!” Trent runs up, but Chuck POP UP POWERBOMBS Trent onto a car hood! Trent writhes, Chuck staggers around, and Chuck brings Trent around.
Chuck headlocks Trent before he SMACKS him off another car door. Trent goes around the back and then up onto a truck! Chuck follows, and he CLUBS Trent in the chest! But Trent slips under, and he CLAWS Chuck’s bloody face! Trent DECKS Chuck and Chuck falls through drywall sheets! Trent looms over Chuck as he crawls out of the wreckage. Trent stalks Chuck, brings him around and SMACKS him with the trash can lid! Trent hoists Chuck onto a car roof, SMACKS him again, then goes back to the truck. Trent climbs onto the roof of the truck, to FLYING ELBOW from car to car! Cover, TWO!!
Trent is furious, but Chuck is still in this as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Trent fumes, paces around, and goes back to the goodies. He brings out… Is that a screwdriver?! And he JABS Chuck in the head with it!! And then he DIGS it into Chuck’s forehead!! As if he wasn’t already bleeding badly!! Trent leaves Chuck behind, to fetch what looks to be a flat screen TV. Then he brings out a wood door!? Did someone visit Home Depot before coming here? Chuck CHOPS Trent in return then fires haymakers! Trent CLAWS Chuck’s face! Trent grabs that TV and CHUCKS it, only for Chuck to duck it! Rampage returns as TV screen hits windshield! Chuck kicks low to snap suplex Trent through the door!!
The crowd is losing its minds as Trent crawls. Chuck gets Trent’s legs, to CATAPULT him into the truck’s tailgate!! The crowd fires up while Chuck gets a sinister look on his face. Chuck takes a piece of that drywall to SMASH it on Trent! Chuck gets that trash can, he SMACKS Trent with it! Chuck sees the pile of extra goodies nearby, and he uncovers some light tubes! But first, he’ll clean up the mess, he SMACKS Trent with the dust pan! And SMACKS him again and again! And then one more shot with the trash can! Trent writhes, but Chuck drags Trent up. Chuck SMACKS Trent off the tailgate, then clears some space.

Trent puts Chuck against the car hood and stands on him! Trent soaks up the heat, but Chuck TRIPS Trent! Trent writhes, Chuck reels Trent in, Canadian Rack, RAZOR’S EDGE onto a windshield!! Trent writhes while fans chant “HOLY CHUCK!” Chuck covers Trent on the hood, TWO!! Trent survives and hurries around the back of this sedan. Chuck snarls, goes up after Trent, and they meet on the roof. They’re both so bloody as they fire forearms back and forth!
The crowd cheers Chuck and boos Trent, and as the two swing wild, they end up HUGGING! You GOT to give the people what they want, right? They stand, Chuck ROCKS Trent and reels Trent in, but Trent LOW BLOWS!! Trent has Chuck now, PILEDRIVER ON THE CAR ROOF!!! And then, SNAKE BITE!! Trent is choking Chuck out!!! Chuck IS out, Trent wins!!
Winner: Trent Beretta, by submission
The Best Friends tore each other apart, but it is #JustTrent that stands tall in the end. He’s clearly lost the respect of his peers given how the other wrestlers are chanting “You Suck! You Suck!” But wait, Trent isn’t done? He has a monkey wrench!? Cassidy & Kris step forward to say no, this is going too far! Trent says this is all Cassidy’s fault! And SMASH, Trent hits Chuck’s leg with the wrench, and even shatters the glass behind it!! Chuck clutches the already recovering leg, and now Cassidy wants after Trent! Kris stops Cassidy, Trent’s still got the wrench! Trent escapes into the shadows of the arena, what darkness is living in Trent’s heart?
Don Callis is watching this.
And he seems to like the sadistic savagery he just witnessed. Trent may not have Best Friends anymore, but could he end up with a whole new family?
Backstage interview with Kyle O’Reilly.
Arkady Aura is with #CombatKyle and brings up his impressive showing in Dynamite’s Casino Gauntlet this past Wednesday. But we all want to know, what is next for her? Well, on Saturday, May 11th, AEW is coming to his hometown! Collision in Vancouver, British Columbia! The Rogers Arena, the same building an 11-year-old Kyle saw his first wrestling show ever. And at that show, Kyle told his dad that he was gonna do this one day. Papa O’Reilly said, “Oh yeah, sure you will, kid.” But somehow, Kyle pulled it off. 25 years later, he’s coming back home to do the one thing he’s ever been good at and that’s wrestling.
Kyle is going to take on the best wrestlers this world has to offer, right here in AEW, where the best wrestle. Kyle is ready for a fight, who will take him up on that in two weeks?

Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Arkady Aura is with Roderick Strong, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett as she notes Will Ospreay is the NEW #1 Contender to the AEW International Championship. Taven says hold on, before we get started here, “Not Lexy,” as three guys who care deeply about neck health, and as two guys who nursed someone from the brink of paralysis (aka Roddy), The Kingdom wishes a very speedy recovery to “the world’s greatest boss. TK, stay strong, buddy.” Roddy then shouts that “WILL… Ospreay. Congratulations, you did it! You have signed, sealed and delivered the downfall, demise and destruction of The Aerial Assassin at Double or Nothing.”
Roddy says the world can sing Ospreay’s praises, but none of that matters when you step in the ring with Roddy. Just like all the ones before, Roddy will dismantle Ospreay, he will BREAK Ospreay, and he will make Ospreay fall in front of The Savior of the Backbreaker. Roddy’s confidence is strong, but will Roddy be the one feeling the End of Heartache after taking on the #BillyGOAT?
“Big Bill” Morrissey VS Trevor Blackwell!
The human skyscraper says he wants to sit under the Learning Tree, but Chris Jericho’s gonna need a bigger tree if he’s to give guidance to Big Bill. Will Bill prove he is worthy of The Wizard’s sage advice?

Winner: “Big Bill” Morrissey, by pinfall
Trev might want to change his last name to Well-done, because he got roasted. Bill wants Jericho’s guidance, does he even need it when he can do all this?

Will this momentum help Shibata avenge Hook and take that FTW Championship off of Chris Jericho? Or will The Learning Tree have some things to teach Shibata?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here, though I was oddly more excited when I thought it was just Deonna VS Rosa and the Parking Lot Brawl. But even so, at least Bill squashing a dude was used in story. He was showing off, he’ll surely have Jericho’s blessing if he helps defeat Shibata on Dynamite, but a part of me almost wants this to be all a trap. Bill was teammates with Ricky Starks in a feud against Jericho, and if Jericho is being obliviously arrogant then maybe Bill is using that against Jericho, too. But either way, let’s just hope this story helps Bill get going rather than slow him down like the #JerichoVortex has always done.
The Parking Lot Brawl was moving maybe a bit fast for me, especially with how there were some obvious spots already set up when they arrived, such as the drywall draped across the truck bed. But they surely got bloody, and in the end, Trent won out because he was willing to sink to the lowest low. And then they’ve written Chuck off again with that monkey wrench to the shin, so Cassidy VS Trent is definitely a Double or Nothing match. And something is just telling me that if Kris is gonna turn out to be the villain in the Willow Nightingale story, she’s probably gonna screw Cassidy over to help Trent, too.
Really good match from Deonna VS Rosa, and with Rosa getting a quick pin then that brawl, we’re clearly getting more out of them. Good promo from Kyle O’Reilly to hype AEW’s newest Canada tour, and good promo from The Kingdom to tie in their old Neck Health Awareness gag to the Tony Khan piledriver angle. Roddy calling out Ospreay, I would definitely think Ospreay wins the title at Double or Nothing. And really good tag main event from Shibata & Garcia VS Shane Taylor Promotions. STP keeps getting great showings even in losing, but Lee took the loss here to keep Shane himself strong. Great win for Shibata but this just adds to the go-home math where Jericho retains the FTW Championship on Dynamite.
My Score: 8.7/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Swerve Strickland is here!
Prince Nana again leads the way as the NEW AEW World Champion makes his way out here. The Realest opened Dynamite with a win, but he walks back out to Daily’s Place to stand in the ring to finally acknowledge his victory at Dynasty. Nana says, “Ladies and gentlemen, the man standing in front of you today is the Boss of Bosses! The man standing in front of you today is the Anointed One in Professional Wrestling! The man standing in front of you is one hell of a wrestler. And he’s none other than the AEW World Heavyweight Champion, Swerve Strickland!” The fans cheer and chant, “Thank You, Swerve!”
Swerve says what a week we’ve had here in AEW! Let’s run it down: a NEW TBS Champion in Willow Nightingale; by the grace of God, Adam Cole can walk; Adam Copeland got misted in the face by The House of Black; Will Ospreay and Bryan Danielson tore the house down; and then… Jack Perry returned. The fans boo but Swerve says Jack’s back in AEW, and he struck Tony Khan, the founder of AEW, who put his faith in Swerve. On top of that, The EVPs, the Young Bucks are again the AEW World Tag Team Champions, and they hit Tony Khan with the whatever it is driver, and now TK is in a neck brace and who knows when we’ll see him in healthy condition.
Now, Swerve will be the first to tell everyone, he’s done some horrible things. Once, twice, three, four times. But something about four elite athletes beating down a non-fighter in TK, that sounds like a b*tch move to him. The fans echo “B*TCH MOVE!” but Swerve wants to get to business. The most important thing that happened this week is Swerve went into Dynasty and he made history by dethroning Samoa Joe and becoming the NEW AEW World Champion! Now, a pet peeve of his is those going around calling themselves “Best in the World.” But make no mistake, the Best in the World is the one holding this title right here!
Last week, it was Samoa Joe. This week, it’s Swerve, baby. And Swerve got here by fighting, but also by making sacrifices. Swerve says the night he won this title, he went to his daughter. She said, “Dad, I love you, I’m so proud of you. But I feel like I just don’t know you.” That hit Swerve to his core. His relationship with his children is everything. But he’s missed birthdays, holidays, basketball games, dance recitals, Father-Daughter dances, and he can’t make up for lost time. But what he can do is set the example and blaze a trail, to make sure this was all worth it. The fans cheer that!
Swerve continues by saying AEW has set people in front of him and he’s knocked them all down! Kyle Fletcher was just one. Now, how about an Open Challenge for the AEW World Championship? But only to someone who really wants to fight! So how about it, Jacksonville? We’re entering a new era in AEW, the Dynasty Era! And the elite of that era is whose house? “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” But then here comes Claudio Castagnoli! The Swiss Superman is in a suit, not his gear, but he does get in the ring. Claudio circles Swerve, then takes the mic and holds up a finger. The fans still chant, but Claudio says, “You’re on.”
Swerve says see you later tonight then, in whose house? But then Claudio snatches the mic again! “It’s gonna be mine.” The fans are intrigued but Claudio is looking to end Swerve’s Dynasty the same week it started! Will the Swiss Superman bring even more gold to the Blackpool Combat Club?
Tony Khan has a medical update.
He is feeling grateful and blessed that he can still walk, talk and work, as was seen during the NFL Draft with Tony Khan alongside his father, Shahid, in the Jacksonville Jaguars war room. However, the doctors have advised TK not to travel, so he will be monitoring AEW Dynamite in Winnipeg remotely. Will that mean The EVPs will be in control of things in person this Wednesday…?
Unified AEW & ROH World Trios Championships: Bullet Club Gold VS Top Flight!
When it comes to Six Man Tags, the Bang Bang Gang runs this! But while they have six belts for the three of them, will that only weigh them all down against one of the fastest moving and fastest rising teams? Or will Jay White & The Gunns shoot Action, Darius & Dante outta the sky?

White then goes out to fetch Darius, the Gunns and Top Flight keeping each other at bay.
White SMACKS Darius off the apron, then the Gunns hop into the crowd to start up a “Too Sweet!” chant. White CHOPS Darius, and now the Gunns start a “One More Time!” chant! White refreshes the ring count first, argues with the ref, and that allows the Gunns to mug Darius! The Gunns get away with that while the ref is busy with White and Dante, but then Darius fires hands on the Gunns! Darius slides into the ring, White anchors him on the outside, and Collision returns to single picture. Darius BOOTS White into railing, hurries for his corner, but The Gunns YANK Dante and Action down! The fans boo but White clamps onto Darius.

The six shooter still had one in the chamber, and that’s the first defense for the Bang Bang Gang! Will they continue to prove they’re the best three man team in the game today?
The House of Black speaks.
Brody King says they told Adam Copeland what was coming, and the match at Dynasty went exactly how they said. And what’s interesting is, Brody now has two wins over the TNT Champion. They remind Adam of his own #CopeOpen, and The House accepts. But who knows? It might be Brody, it might be Malakai, it might be Buddy. On May 1st in Winnipeg, Edge finds out when the world finds out.
Rey Fenix w/ Alex Abrahantes VS The Beast Mortos!
Finally, the Immortal Firebird is back in action! But what an opponent to face as the minotaur of lucha has now evolved into something even more menacing! Will Fenix be able to fly like never before? Or will Mortos make him crash and burn?

Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.
Arkady Aura says Freshly Squeezed was attacked by #JustTrent last Dynamite, and that ultimately forced Chuck Taylor’s hand in choosing sides. The Kentucky Gentleman chose Cassidy, where is his head at right now? Cassidy knows Trent said a lot of things that Cassidy is still working through. But what is on his mind most now is that later tonight on Rampage, those two are fighting in a Parking Lot Brawl. Cassidy is afraid of what Trent and Chuck are going to do to each other.

Backstage interview with Serena Deeb.
Arkady Aura is now with The Professor of Professional Wrestling, and says that Deeb came out to touch the AEW Women’s World Championship. What message is Deeb looking to send? Deeb says it’s a very simple one. On one hand, we have the great champion, Toni Storm, someone everyone loves, and one of the greatest champions in this company’s history. On the other, we have the undefeated Professor, the obvious #1 contender. After everything Deeb’s been through, how hard she had to fight to get back here, failure is not an option. It is now or never!
And after four years of being told how great she is, and how she SHOULD be champion, it is time to prove it. It is time to accomplish something she has yet to do, and that is become THE AEW Women’s World Champion. Deeb tells Storm this isn’t a movie, this is real-life. And as such, will Deeb bring Storm crashing down to reality?

Backstage interview with Katsuyori Shibata.
Arkady is now with The Wrestler, and she brings up the issues with Shane Taylor Promotions. But at the same time, he is going to be challenging Chris Jericho for the FTW Championship. Any last words before that match? Shibata uses his Google Translate voice-to-text to “say” that he is going to chop down The Learning Tree and take Jericho’s title. And any plans for Shane Taylor? Shibata “says,” Rampage will see him take on STP alone. But then Daniel Garcia steps in. Garcia tells Shibata-san that he has respect for him. If Shibata needs help against STP, Garcia will help him. What does he say?
Shibata takes a moment to type it out, and says okay. Save the last dance for him. Garcia nods and dances his way off screen. Will the Dragonslayer help The Wrestler take the fight to Big Bad Shaney T. Boy?

Winner: Swerve Strickland, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
It was a shootout ’til the end, and in the end, Swerve had more ammo in his arsenal! But he still shows Claudio respect by offering a handshake. Claudio stands, and he shakes Swerve’s hand. The Realest is rolling on, but who will look to go Double or Nothing with him in just one month’s time?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision, even with it having to be slightly delayed by NBA Playoffs. There was criticism out there that Swerve didn’t get a chance to talk on Dynamite, but he still had a really good promo to open Collision, and it worked better that he’d be able to reference the attack on Tony Khan from Dynamite. Swerve subtly calls out a lot of wrestlers within AEW, and technically some outside of AEW, by saying he doesn’t like people just calling themselves “Best in the World.” He and Claudio had an awesome main event match, though maybe a false finish too many. Swerve of course retained, and can’t wait to see who a now EVP dominated AEW chooses as Swerve’s opponent. It would be hilariously corrupt of The Bucks to make it Jack Perry.
Great Six Man title match tonight, solid first defense for Bang Bang Gang. Great tag match from Acclaimed with Grizzled Young Veterans, but it makes sense Acclaimed would win as the AEW home team. I’m just not sure where Acclaimed go from here other than Billy Gunn saying they can return to the tag division and challenge The Bucks. After all, FTR got pretty banged up in the ladder match and it’d be a bit soon for them to get a rematch against The Bucks. Swerve could team up with The Acclaimed if they’re all going to target The Elite, and vice-versa, going towards Double or Nothing.
Great return matches for Rey Fenix and Rush, but I didn’t think Rush would just do a squash match. Fenix, Pac and Penta all being healthy at the same time, Death Triangle going for the trios titles? Lucha Bros going for tag titles? And I’m really hoping LFI truly gets going here in AEW, also going for the trios titles or something like that. Really good promo from Cassidy with Kris and then Cassidy with Chuck to hype up the Parking Lot Brawl, that thing is gonna kick off Rampage and be wild stuff. Good promo from House of Black to call out Edge, but you can bet this won’t be the only time they go for the TNT Championship. Edge will surely beat Buddy or Brody, and then it’s Malakai challenging at Double or Nothing.
Good promo from Shibata and Garcia to set up a tag match for Rampage, that’ll be great stuff. Good interview promo for Deeb, though it doesn’t add all that much from everything else she’s said to this point. Storm VS Anna was a very good match, and of course Storm won. No Mina showing up was a little surprising, but there’s plenty of time to build the mentor love triangle. Deeb VS Storm will be great stuff, and depending on how they play this, there’s half a chance Deeb wins because Storm will end up preoccupied with Mina and Mariah being so close. Deeb can take the title and face Deonna, Rosa, and a number of others while Storm and Mina fight over Mariah quite literally.
My Score: 8.8/10
