The ambulance takes MJF away, but what can Cole do? What can anyone do? Did the Gunns just make sure Jay White wins via forfeit tonight?
“It’s inevitable: All things come to a conclusion.”
“Civilizations fade, even planets crumble. What will you do when your time comes? Will you steal? Will you turn to a dark power? Will you try to entertain the people and put on a show to distract from the madness? Or will you cling to the trophies that prove you were the best in a lifetime that you fight to preserve? You will covet thy neighbor’s success and become resentful? Will you stand up to defend your family and your home? Where will you draw the line? When you become the hunted, will you come to believe in curses? When you aren’t the biggest, the strongest, the fastest, can you be as brave as you’ve ever been?
“On this day, will you be able to take yourself to a new level? Become even greater than you’ve ever been? Can you discover that 100%? Can you find your own Full Gear?”

He is with referee Bryce Remsburg, and then introduces Bullet Club Gold. Fans boo as Jay White & The Gunns make their way out here, and White shouts HE is champion now! Is this his music? Huh!? Is this how this goes?! To be fair, that’s the Gunns’ music. Schiavone tells White to chill the hell out, they’ve got a show to do. But ladies and gentlemen- No, White wants them to say it! “Tell them, old man!” Schiavone hates to say this, but unfortunately, MJF is injured and NOT able to compete anymore tonight. White pretends to be shocked as Schiavone says the match of MJF VS White has been canceled.
So now, by default, your NEW AEW World Champion- WAIT! Adam Cole is coming back out here?! Schiavone asks what this is about, and even White is a little confused. Cole tells White that there is not a shot in hell White leaves here with MJF’s world title. Cole made a promise to his friend and intends on keeping it. So much so, he already talked with Tony Khan. If MJF can’t defend the world title, then dammit, Cole will do it for him! White laughs, but Cole says even on one leg, the main event is now Jay White VS ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!! White is laughing even harder and no one else can believe it!
White says his good friend, Adam Cole, BAYBAY! But Adam, Adam, Adam. You must’ve hit your head, too. Don’t you remember? Or do you have a hard time remembering after that concussion? Well, White will refresh him: White took Cole out once before, wearing these exact pants, actually. And if Cole wants to stick his nose where it doesn’t belong, then fine! White will take out Cole once and for all so that it is him and not his best friend that Breathes with the Switchblade in this new era! Then White will truly be AEW World Champion, baybay! White heads out, still holding onto Triple B. But just how can Cole compete when he’s got a bad leg?
AEW International Championship: Orange Cassidy w/ Hook VS Jon Moxley w/ Wheeler Yuta!

Cassidy wants to prove he is the rightful champion, can he do that when the Orange Punch had little to no effect just last night?

Fans are thunderous as Ospreay joins Schiavone in the ring, and Schiavone says we can tell from that response that this is a hell of a move. The contract and pen are right here, Ospreay signs on the dotted line! That makes it official!
Schiavone asks how it feels, and Ospreay says it’s great. How about LA? They good? He is happy to be on the team, but he has some bad news real quickly. Yeah, sorry, but he has to get this out of the way. He is not all in just yet. He knows, he gets it, pipe down, bruv! But when he was 22 years old, he joined NJPW. He’s 30 now, bruv, he’s committed, but please, let him finish up. And then, he’ll be on the road to Revolution! And Ospreay will then be all yours. But more importantly, “I AM ALL ELITE, BRUV!”
And to Mr. Tony Khan, do us a favor: line up the best that you got, especially for Wembley! Because everyone here knows Ospreay is about to show us all what elite really looks like! Ospreay is counting the days until he is truly in AEW, and counting the days until we’re all back in his backyard! Is AEW about to stand for All Elite Will?

MJF is the longest reigning and the winningest AEW World Champion, but with Samoa Joe’s promised title opportunity still to come, how much longer will MJF be on top?
My Thoughts:
An awesome PPV for AEW, and was it just me or was this shorter? Like, AEW learned to trim the fat for once so that the audience doesn’t get tired. One quick gripe I have is that the opening video narration made no sense for Full Gear. All that talk of “everything comes to an end, what will you do when it comes?” fits more, oh uh maybe Worlds End? The last PPV they are putting on this year, which is like right before New Year’s Eve. Full Gear being in LA, they should’ve gone with a Hollywood theme. I mean, yeah, WWE already did that by having WrestleMania in LA/Hollywood, and Toni Storm is the one with the Hollywood gimmick right now, but c’mon. At least parody California Love or Disneyland.
They still had a full and very entertaining Zero Hour with just three matches instead of four. Awesome match from Eddie VS Lethal for the ROH World title, and of course Triple J tried to get involved, but great move to have Ortiz show up and counteract that. Eddie retains, as I figured, and he’ll surely be on Final Battle against who knows. That is, if he still has the title since he’s willing to put BOTH his belts on the line every single round. And per that, Eddie also lets us know that there’s going to be some kind of AEW Continental Championship as like an answer to a WWE US Championship.
Great match from Claudio VS Buddy and I figured Claudio would win. And of course, great ROH World Tag Team Championship match with Joe & MJF being a kind of dysfunctional yet united front. MJoeF of course wins, but I should’ve figured The Gunns would beat MJF down to make him vulnerable for White. And Cole stepping up to be MJF’s substitute, that was both a logical move, but also something felt suspicious. Awesome main event with how MJF came back to fight White on his own, but Cole almost costing him two different times adds to just how suspicious Cole was tonight. Did Cole want to cost MJF? Who knows, because he still celebrated with MJF after.
I’m more surprised we didn’t get even one whiff of “The Devil of AEW” tonight. Makes me think that person wants us to still think MJF is the guy behind the mask playing both sides. Maybe it’s Cole after all? And that Cole is stringing MJF along until the time is right? And if so, perhaps they want to keep this going until Cole is 100% again so he and MJF can have a proper rematch to settle things once and for all. One thing not as surprising to me was that it was Ospreay as the new signee. I’m not disappointed, I felt it was him on Wednesday because it all makes sense. But I also appreciate him asking fans to wait a little longer, WrestleKingdom 18 is likely Ospreay’s last match as an NJPW talent, where he has to lose the IWGP UK/US title to either Moxley or more likely, David Finlay.
Speaking of Moxley, awesome match from him and Cassidy. Cassidy retaining was a slight surprise to me, but he hit the Orange Punch like half a dozen times so Moxley still looks strong in losing. That’ll probably be the same thing that happens to Moxley at WrestleKingdom where he, Ospreay and Finlay fight their hearts out, and it’s something over the top that allows Finlay to win and be the undisputed Whatever He’ll Call The Championship. But back to AEW, there was also good BCC VS Best Friends beef after, Yuta VS Hook for the FTW Championship is surely up next, I would think Hook retains, he is more FTW vibe than Yuta.
Opening with the Six Man Tag was an interesting choice but it worked out to set the pace for the main show. Of course Ric gets involved in stuff, and I figured Edge’s team would win. Christian Cage will now want revenge, and pretty sure he and Edge will fight over the TNT Championship. Then Toni Storm VS Hikaru Shida was great stuff, and great win for Storm but kinda hard to believe the ref did not see that shiny piece of metal on Storm’s butt. Still great for Storm to be a three-time champion but seems a shame that Shida is always the one getting shortchanged for other champions’ sakes.
Amazing ladder match, though still some risky spots as we’ve seen with AEW/ROH. Very surprised Starks & Morrissey won, and also surprised that the Bucks didn’t use their tag title shot MITB cash-in style. That would’ve been wild, but it probably would’ve also buried Starks & Morrissey. Because then The Bucks would’ve lost those titles right to Golden Jets and that would’ve been too much. Golden Jets winning out was what I figured would happen, making the Bucks go further Heel. Callis being on commentary, would The Bucks really join him? I feel like they hate Callis more than they do Jericho.
Awesome Triple Threat for the TBS Championship, and just as I figured, Julia wins without Kris looking weak since she did the damage. Great for Julia to be the one in The House of Black to have a title, and she probably makes Kris have to earn the rematch rather than use some contract clause. And then an awesome, brutal, gnarly Texas Deathmatch, definitely AEW’s most brutal match ever period. Though small gripe again, this was much like the previous Texas Deathmatch of Starks VS Bryan Danielson, aka a Last Man Standing match disguised as Texas Death. Story wise, I thought Hangman was going to win this. How does the guy who committed BNE win out?
But at the same time, he had Brian Cage help him, so of course Swerve wins. And now that Swerve is 2-0 on Hangman, that must mean he moves on from Hangman and goes after the AEW World Championship. Though, with Joe also getting his shot, and Wardlow waiting to pounce, who knows what happens by Worlds End. There’s also the Continental Classic that needs more entrants in it, and it’d be pretty awesome seeing Joe, Wardlow and Swerve in that. But either way, Swerve really should just move up to go after MJF and the world championship.
My Score: 9.2/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Tony Schiavone is in the ring!
He welcomes us to Dynamite tonight in El Paso, and he welcomes out the 2025 Men’s Owen Hart Cup winner, Hangman Adam Page! The fans fire up as The Blackhat Cowboy walks out, King of Harts belt around his waist, and Schiavone brings up the great response from the fans. Hangman won The Owen in a dramatic classic on Sunday. The fans cheer, “You Deserve It!” as Hangman takes the mic. Hangman says, “Triumph. Triumph in life is fleeting, it’s momentary. You’re on top of the world for the night, and you wake up in the morning, and the moment you realize has passed you. But so is defeat.
“And in the past two years, and if I’m completely honest with myself, in the past three years, that is something that I let myself lose sight of. Because what matters is not the win, it is not the loss, it is what you decide to do with it that matters!” The fans cheer that! Hangman says at Double or nothing, two men entered the ring, and they both knew one would leave defeated. So before Hangman continues, he will say this to Will Ospreay. “Thank you. Thank you for the fight of my life! Thank you for reminding me why I decided to do this in the first place! And thank you for dispelling any notion that i had that you could not be the type of man to carry this company forward, because you can be!”
The fans cheer and chant for “Ospreay! Ospreay!” Hangman then says, while one tasted defeat, the other would taste victory. But he cannot relish in it! This moment is temporary and fleeting. Hangman will not hold this title, carry it or defend it. There will be another Owen Hart Cup, there will be another King of Harts. For now, Hangman returns this belt to AEW. Schiavone takes custody of the belt, and Hangman says he could stay out here all night and tell you how much this all truly means to him. But now, he must look forward to the one thing that for him, this has always been about: THE AEW World Championship!
The fans cheer that, and Hangman says that title has been the prize, the accomplishment, and the responsibility he has chased from the very moment we saw these three letters together for the first time. The fans chant “A E DUB! A E DUB!” Hangman says for seven MONTHS, that title has been hidden from the world, locked away in a briefcase. The fans boo, but Hangman says to him, that title was to be a shining light! A beacon to show the world what these three letters meant! It was about competition! About creativity! Compassion! Passion! And human dignity with which we all treat each other! That is what this is about!
The fans cheer more, and Hangman says on his first day in AEW, he told all of us, both here tonight and watching at home, that while he was here, we would be his boss. Tonight, he makes a promise. In seven weeks, here in Texas, Hangman will win the AEW World Championship! He will free it from the briefcase! He will hold it above his head for all the world to see! He will carry it and defend it with every ounce of his being, and that is a promise he will keep! But then “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Hangman is stunned, but here comes The Realest! Swerve steps into the ring to stare Hangman down, and Schiavone steps aside.
Swerve says, “I bet you wanna know why I’m here. So allow me to educate you and the fine people of El Paso, Texas why I’m here.” Swerve signals to the tron, and we flashback to April 9th of this year. Nick Jackson was explaining why The Young Bucks went and cost Swerve Strickland the AEW World Championship. They did it for their “good friend,” Hangman Page! Hangman wanted this! Swerve could not be world champion again, and The Bucks did that for him! They do not forget who their friends are! They love him, and they know he loves them. The fans boo and Swerve says he was looking at the same opportunity Hangman conveniently has now.
At Dynasty, the main event, Swerve had Moxley, he had the match won! And then so conveniently, The Bucks show up, who Swerve hadn’t bothered with since Blood & Guts, and they cost Swerve. But y’know who else was in the ring that night? Hangman Page. It is so funny how Hangman has his path to the title off Swerve’s loss. Swerve calls collusion! Hangman wants to make promises to the people of Texas? Let’s talk about a promise Hangman made. Hangman told Swerve to his face, in front of the world, that Hangman would never let Swerve be AEW World Champion again.
So Swerve is here now, staring Hangman down man to man, and he will ask Hangman, so don’t lie to him. Did Hangman do this? The fans chant “Tell The Truth! Tell The Truth!” Hangman says, “Well, dumbass… At Dynasty, I locked my eyes on you. Then I locked my eyes on Jon Moxley. And for one God forsaken second, I even thought about helping you. Swerve, if I had wanted to cost you that match, I would have done it myself to your face, because I have done it before.” The fans are torn, but Swerve says, “Sounds good, but you’re still full of sh*t.” The two jaw at each other while the fans rally up, but here comes Ospreay!
The fans cheer as the Aerial Assassin makes his way to the ring, and he has Swerve and Hangman back up. The fans are losing their minds seeing all three guys together. Ospreay borrows Swerve’s mic, and he looks to Hangman. The fans chant “BRUV! BRUV!” Ospreay then looks to Swerve, and Ospreay says he hates getting involved in Swerve’s business. Swerve has looked after Ospreay since he was 20 years old, he’s like a big brother. “But you’re wrong about him.” Ospreay defends Hangman, saying you learn a lot about someone getting in the ring with them when the stakes are high. And stakes couldn’t get any higher on Sunday.
On Sunday, Ospreay left it all in the ring with Hangman, and he has never felt more defeated in his entire life. Hangman had an important decision to make. He walked up the ramp, turned back, picked Ospreay up, and he shook Ospreay’s hand like a man. Ospreay looked in Hangman’s eyes, and he could see that Hangman cares about AEW. It is funny, because Ospreay had that same feeling when he lost to Swerve last year and then did the same thing. Swerve picked Ospreay up. Look around. The fans cheer, and Ospreay tells them both, “People are starting to believe in us again. I hate saying this to you, because I love you… But it is not you. I thought it was me, and it’s not me. It’s HIM!”
The fans cheer, and Ospreay wants Swerve to look at him. They have one shot at this. And they can make this easier on Hangman if they all work together. Swerve, Ospreay, Hangman- Swerve SLAPS the mic down! Ospreay wants Swerve to calm it down but Swerve says he will never work with Hangman, never trust Hangman, and never forgive Hangman! Swerve storms off and Ospreay is disappointed. The fans boo, but Ospreay tells Hangman to let that go. Hangman says he will work with Ospreay, but he will not work with Swerve either. Hangman storms off now, but will these bitter enemies ever realize this is bigger than them?
The Death Riders arrive.
Claudio parks the truck, and everybody spills out of the back. Moxley leads the way for Marina Shafir, Wheeler Yuta, and even Gabe Kidd. Moxley says, “Welcome to Dynamite.” They step into the building, find their way to the crowd, and they’re ready to redeem themselves from losing Anarchy in the Arena. But will they tear up Swerve’s allies to send a message? Or will this conglomeration come out on top?
Mixed Six Tag: Gabe Kidd, Jon Moxley & Marina Shafir VS Mark Briscoe, “Speedball” Mike Bailey & Willow Nightingale!
The trios sort out and the War Dog for hire starts against the Sussex County Chicken. The bell rings and the two run to DOUBLE LARIAT!

PROGRAMMING NOTE for Collision!
This Saturday, May 31st, Collision will air coast to coast on TNT at 8 PM Eastern, OR immediately following NBA Playoffs Game 6, but you can always stream on HBO Max!
The Hurt Syndicate speaks.
MVP says, “Tonight was not just a momentous occasion, it was a historical occasion, because two things happened tonight. This was the fifth consecutive, successful title defense of the AEW Tag Team Championships, and the debut of the young genius, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, as a full-fledged member of the Hurt Syndicate.” MJF says, “Bobby & Shelton are the most dominate tag team in the world today. Think of any top tag team in this sport, anyone, they’d beat ’em clean, easy. These belts ain’t going nowhere. Now that I am in the Hurt Syndicate, I am gonna make sure of that. And the Syndicate, we roll together, so we’re all collectively going to make sure we’re all strapped in gold.
“As far as my Triple B goes, my Big Beautiful Belt, my AEW World title is concerned, it will soon be around my waist. And if you find yourself in between the Hurt Syndicate and our goals, don’t be surprised if you wake up face down in a pool of your own piss and blood. But hey, man, when it comes to the Syndicate, it ain’t personal. It’s just business.” They all fist bump, but who will be next to step up and get stepped on?
Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford speak.
The Superbad Girl says Anna Jay & Harley Cameron had to cheat to beat them on Sunday. Tonight, it is NO DISQUALIFICATIONS, just like Anna & Harley have always wanted. The Megasus says that means they are her next sacrifice. Will the path of destruction only be more destructive now that Megan doesn’t have to hold back?
Ricochet speaks.
The One & Only says, “I had told that everybody after Double or Nothing, after I had laid wasted to Mark Briscoe, I would continue my quest for gold. A quest that I have been on since day one here in AEW. But I stopped, and I take a second, and I look around AEW, and I get the lay of the land, and I start to see the landscape for what it actually is. I see the Death Riders, I see The Opps, I see the Don Callis Family, I see the Hurt Syndicate, and I think to myself… Ricochet needs a group. Ricochet needs a crew. Ricochet needs some loyal subjects that will follow and help him on his quest for gold.
“And once I do, once I find the perfect crew, then I will continue to show everybody why Ricochet is simply Outta This World. AHA~!”
No Disqualification Tag: Anna Jay & Harley Cameron VS Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford!
For those who watched the Double or Nothing Buy-In, what part of that tag match did Harley & Anna “cheat” to win? Perhaps the Megasus & Superbad Girl don’t want to admit they got outsmarted by the Queenslayer & Wild Aussie. But now there will be no excuses because there is no such thing as cheating in a No Disqualifications match! Will Anna & Harley be the stars of the show after going all out? Or will they be made to #BowDown?
Megan & Ford come prepared with a trash can, its lid, and a golden steel chair! But Anna & Harley are ready to ride as a couple cowgirls armed with two-by-four and steel pipe! The fans fire up as they rush the ring, and while Ford grabs at the wood, Anna trips her up! Harley slides in but Megan BOOTS her down! The bell rings and this essentially Texas Tornado gets spinning! Megan SLAMS Harley down, Anna sends Ford into railing, and Anna brings out chairs! Megan CHOPS Harley, RAMS her in the corner again and again, and grabs one of those chairs. Ford ROCKS Anna, Megan wedges a chair into the corner, and Ford CHOPS Anna.
El Paso wants tables but Ford whips Anna into railing! Anna falls, Megan sits Harley up in the corner, and Megan runs up, only for Harley to move! Megan’s CANNONBALL hits the chair! Harley & Anna mug Ford, then DDT her on the trash can lid! The fans fire up, Harley covers, but Megan breaks it! Megan stalks Harley, but Anna has her wood! Anna SMACKS Megan, but Megan doesn’t even flinch. Megan stares Anna down, the fans tell Anna she messed up, but Harley has her pipe! Harley CLUBS Megan and that was certainly felt! Anna grabs a chair and she SMACKS Megan! Harley PIPES Megan, Anna SMACKS Megan, repeat!
The fans fire up as Megan is just a giant pinball between those brutal flippers, but she gets pissed! Megan dodges H&A to DOUBLE LARIAT! The fans fire up as Megan then goes for her golden chair! Megan sits it up at center, drags Harley up, and she reels her in! But Harley slips out of the suplex! Harley drop toeholds Megan on the chair, Anna SHOTGUNS Megan down! The fans fire up, Anna covers, but Ford breaks it! Harley has Ford for a KNEE down low! Anna has a chair of her own, sets that down, and Harley lines up the shot. Anna runs, they give Ford a form of BOOT CAMP! Cover, TWO!! Ford survives but Anna & Harley go outside.
The fans rally as they go looking, and yes, they bring out a TABLE! The fans fire up as Anna & Harley stand the table up nearby, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Anna & Harley go back into the ring, but Megan is there to clinch Anna! OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY! Ford goes Matrix to dodge Harley, and hits the CUTTER! Ford puts Harley in a corner for the HANDSPRING BACK ELBOW! Megan runs up to add a STINGER SPLASH! Ford picks up the trash can, puts it around Harley, and Megan sends her back in. SHOTGUN to the trash can! Ford drags Harley to a cover, TWO! Harley survives and Ford is frustrated. Ford dribbles Harley, Megan goes looking for things, and she brings out another table! Ford helps Megan set that up in the ring, propping it up in the corner.
Megan storms up on Anna, CLUBS her, then fireman’s carries. Megan runs at the table, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER through the table!! Megan drags Anna to a cover, HARLEY BREAKS IT! Ford is furious and she goes after Harley! Ford fireman’s carries, but Harley slips free to wrench and NECKBREAKER! Cover, Megan deadlifts Harley for a GERMAN SUPLEX! Megan huffs ‘n’ puffs and drags Harley over to the ropes. Megan scrubs Harley’s face with her boot, then soaks up heat. Megan brings Harley over, puts her on the apron, then goes out as Dynamite returns to single picture. The fans fire up already as Megan aims for the table!
Harley fights the urenage and throws elbows! Harley kicks low, SUNSET FLIP, but Megan holds on! Anna ROCKS Megan! Megan shakes her head as she holds on, but Anna ROCKS her again! Ford is up, armed with golden chair, but Anna BOOTS her first! Anna has the chair to SMACK Ford down! Then she SMACKS Megan in the face! Harley POWERBOMBS Megan down through the table!! The fans are thunderous and Anna is all fired up! But Ford runs up to BOOT Anna! Ford fireman’s carries, and GUT BUSTER DROPS Anna! Ford takes a chair, puts it under Anna, then STANDING MOONSAULTS, but Anna moves! Ford hits only chair!
The fans rally up while all four women are down! Harley rises up, looks to Anna and they coordinate. Harley fires up, she runs at Megan, but Megan blocks the wheelbarrow to SMACK Harley off the steel steps! Megan falls back, still hurting from the table, but now the ref has medics check Harley. El Paso declares, “This is Awesome!” while Harley stands up. She’s got a bloody nose, maybe a busted lip, but Harley won’t let that stop her! Harley storms her way into the ring, Ford runs up, and Ford DECKS Harley! Anna kicks Ford, Gory Especial, FULL METAL GORY BOMB as Ford lands on a chair!! Cover, MEGAN BREAKS IT!!
Megan drags Anna up and fireman’s carries! FULL METAL FATE’S DESCENT!! Cover, Cover, HARLEY BREAKS IT! Harley HAMMERs away on Megan, then dodges her! But Megan FLYING LARIATS! Cover, TWO!! Harley survives and the fans fire up! Megan is frustrated, but she and Ford coordinate. Ford crawls to a corner while Megan just throws chairs down on Harley! Megan then drags Harley up and Ford climbs. Megan Electric Chair Lifts Harley, Ford flies, SUPERBAD DOOMSDAY!! Cover, Megan & Ford win!
Winners: Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford, by pinfall
The Megasus unleashed her full power on Harley & Anna, leaving them both bloody messes. Will there be no stopping Megan’s rise to the top of the AEW Women’s Division?
Mercedes Mone arrives in a low rider.
The CEO is once again #FourBeltsMone as she holds up her Queen of Harts title, even as her driver parks the convertible. The AEW TBS Champion struts in as a rhinestone cowgirl, ready to meet the AEW Women’s World Champion face to face, but will they keep it civil? Or will there be a shootout in El Paso?
Six Man Tag: The Opps VS The Frat House!
Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata & “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs were part of the winning Team AEW at Anarchy in the Arena. But now, they focus on being AEW World Trios Champions. Will they be ready to go all in this summer? OR will Preston Vance, Griff Garrison, Cole Karter, Jacked Jameson, and even their El Paso “Pledges” be toasting a huge victory?
Jameson has a mic, and he tries to get the fans to join in on “FRAT~ HOUSE~!” They boo instead. Jameson says okay, last night, here in El Paso, him and the boys at Shifty’s Dive, throwing one of their world famous pledge parties. They are traveling the country, throwing these parties, looking for their next members. They were out on the town, and there was a sign with a saying that Jameson really likes: El Paso Strong! The fans cheer that! Jameson says that doesn’t make sense, all the guys are weak and skinny and all the girls are fat and ugly. The fans boo again. Jameson says needless to say, they didn’t find a new member.
But hey, that’s okay, they are not leaving emptyhanded. They’re walking out tonight the NEW Trios Champions! Uh, the belts aren’t on the line…? But Preston Vance says, “Win or lose, we BOOOOOOOOOZE~!” Vance gets in Joe’s face with that, and Joe HEADBUTTS him down! Shibata and Hobbs go after Karter & Garrison on the outside while Jameson and the Pledges scramble. The bell rings, Joe JABS away on Vance in the corner! The fans fire up as Joe just fires off! Joe CHOPS Vance down, and Shibata runs Karter right into railing! Joe CHOPS Vance again, whips him corner to corner, then runs in.
Vance BOOTS Joe, runs, but Joe SWEEPS the legs! And SENTONS on top! Vance scrambles, tag to Griff, and Joe chuckles at the Ivy League MVP getting fired up. The fans rally for Joe, but Joe says uno momento. Tag to Shibata! The fans cheer as The Wrestler steps up. Shibata and Griff feel things out, then Griff CHOPS! Shibata CHOPS in return! Griff CHOPS again, Shibata CHOPS again, and repeat! The fans fire up as Griff fires a forearm but Shibata fires back! Shibata eggs Griff on as Griff fires more shots, only for Shibata to DECK him! Shibata runs corner to corner and HYDRAULIC DROPKICKS!
Shibata drags Griff up, HALF HATCH, then cover, TWO! Griff stays in this but now Shibata tags Hobbs. Griff scrambles away to tag in Karter, but the Diamond in the Rough doesn’t know what he got into. Karter fires hands but Hobbs just takes them! Hobbs TOSSES Karter to the corner, fires hands, then whips corner to corner. LARIAT in the corner! The fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” as Hobbs fires more LARIATS into Karter! Hobbs reels Karter in for the short arm LARIAT! The straps come down and the fans fire up. Hobbs DECKS Griff off the apron, but Vance BLATSS Shibata and Joe!
Joe runs in, Vance runs away, and the ref is distracted, so Jameson slips in with that frat paddle! Jameson SMACKS Hobbs! Hobbs just gets mad! Hobbs LARIATS Jameson up and out! A Pledge is sent in!? Hobbs gives him a SPINEBUSTER! Another Pledge tries, but he gets a SPIENBUSTER! The third Pledge tries, he gets a SPINEBUSTER! Vance has the paddle! The ref stops Vance, and Hobbs gives him a SPINEBUSTER! Karter climbs up the corner, almost slips, but he still leaps, into a SPINEBUSTER! Cover, Opps win!
Winners: The Opps, by pinfall
That was town bidness times ten! Will the Frat House study up next time? Will The Opps continue to prove they are #NeverLacking?
Renee Paquette is in the ring.
Renee welcomes out the woman who fought her heart out at Double or Nothing, Jamie Hayter! The fans cheer as Hayter heads to the ring, clearly bummed she is NOT the 2025 Queen of Harts. Renee brings up that unfortunately, Hayter could not overcome Mone in the finals. And she knows Hayter was worried about what her future in AEW would look like without that win. Has Hayter had time to think about what’s next? Hayter tells Renee, that is the question. But then the lights go out!? Oh no, could it be…? The lights come back up and it is THEKLA! The Toxic Spider is in AEW, and she’s right on Hayter!
Thekla DECKS Hayter, then stands over her! Thekla stares into the camera, then spider-walks over! Will the “Idol Killer” tear down all those that came before her in order to be THE woman in AEW?
AEW TNT Championship: Adam Cole VS Kyle Fletcher w/ The Don Callis Family!
The Paragon could not stop the Don Callis Family on Sunday, and now the Panama City Playboy is the Protostar’s next target! Will the Aussie Arrow hit the mar and take this title home for the family? Or will it still be all about the BOOM?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is the true Face of TNT!
Callis is on commentary to say the fans love Cole because he’s just like the fans: he lives on hopes and dreams. Callis says you can’t take hopes to the bank, but you can bank on Fletcher! The bell rings and the fans rally up as Cole and Fletcher stare down. Cole and Fletcher circle, feel things out, and tie up. Fletcher puts Cole in a corner, lets off slowly, then rolls back to mock the “Adam Cole Baybay!” Cole and Kyle circle, tie up, and Cole waistlocks. Fletcher pries free, switches, then he SLAMS Cole down! The fans are torn but Fletcher flexes on Cole. Cole and Fletcher reset, circle, and tie up. Cole headlocks, Kyle fights the takeover, and Kyle powers out.
Kyle RUNS Cole over, smirks, and then goes back for Cole. Kyle slips, Cole slips free, and Cole fires forearms! Kyle scoops but Cole fights free again! Kyle kicks low, CLUBS Cole on the back, but Cole PELES! The fans fire up and Kyle staggers around! Cole storms up to fire hands and he puts Kyle in a corner. Cole stomps a mudhole into Kyle, steps off as the ref counts, and he gives a proper “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” The fans cheer, Cole whips corner to corner, but Kyle reverses. Kyle runs up but Cole puts him on the apron, and SUPERKICKS him down! The fans fire up and Cole waits on Kyle. Cole goes to the apron and takes aim, only for PRG Vice to step up!
The fans boo as Rocky Romero & Trent Beretta stand in Cole’s way, but Callis says this is strength in numbers. Well speaking of, Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly rush out here! Paragon brawls with RPG Vice and head to the back! The fans fire up, Cole goes to fetch Fletcher, but Fletcher SUPERKICKS Cole down! Kyle drags Cole up, reels him in, and APRON POWERBOMBS!! That was a lot more Cole’s head and neck then his back, and while the ref checks Cole, Callis mockingly says he’s gonna check on Kyle while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Fletcher flexes more while he soaks up heat, and Callis really does walk over to talk with him. Kyle steps into the ring and somehow Cole is okay to continue, so a ring count starts. Cole stirs at about 3 of 10, Callis & Kyle soak up more heat, but then Kyle goes out to fetch Cole at about 7. Kyle drags Cole into the ring, then stomps him down! Kyle stomps Cole more, then stalks him to ropes. Kyle JUMP STOMPS Cole down! And JUMP STOMPS again! Then he CHOKES Cole on the ropes! The ref counts, Kyle steps off, and Cole goes to a corner. Kyle soaks up heat, distracts the ref, and that lets Callis CHOKE Cole!
Callis scurries back to commentary before he’s caught, and Kyle drags Cole up. Cole fires body shots but Kyle eggs him on. Cole fires more shots, but Kyle BOOTS him down! Kyle paces while he soaks up more heat, and he checks if that’s for him or for Cole. It is for Kyle, so Kyle scoops Cole and SLAMS him! Kyle paces more while Cole writhes. Cole sits up but Kyle is on him with another scoop and SLAM! Kyle leans on the ropes while he soaks up more heat, then he goes back to Cole. Kyle rains down fists, clamps on a chinlock, and he grinds Cole down. Cole endures and fights up while Dynamite returns to single picture.
The fans rally as Cole fires body shots, only for Kyle to scoop and SLAM again! Kyle twists Cole’s wrist, scoops and SLAMS again, then eggs everyone on. The fans boo but Kyle drags Cole up. Cole fires forearms! The fans rally, but Kyle scoops and spins to SLAM! Callis says the reason Cole was outside to be hit with that apron powerbomb is because he went after Kyle outside the ring. Callis says Cole only has himself to blame. Kyle runs corner to corner, but Cole SUPERKICKS! Callis is eating his words the way Kyle ate that foot! The fans are thunderous as Cole rises up! Cole storms up to fire forearm after forearm!
Kyle shoves Cole but Cole LARIATS! And ELBOWS! And BOOTS! Kyle staggers around, Cole brings him over, but Kyle fights the fireman’s carry! Kyle runs, but Cole BOOTS him! Kyle rebounds into the fireman’s carry! USHIGOROSHI! Cover, TWO! Kyle survives but the fans rally behind Cole. Cole rises up, goes to the corner, and he climbs up to aim again. Kyle stands into the PANAMA- NO, Kyle BACKDROPS then sits down on a cover, TWO!! Cole escapes, Kyle blocks his kick, and Kyle spins Cole for a SNAP HALF ‘N’ HALF! Cole flounders, Kyle runs corner to corner, GAMANGIRI! And then Kyle reels Cole in, but Cole suplexes, GHOST BUSTER!!
Cole fires up, rises up, and the fans are with him! PANAMA SUNRISE!!! Kyle sputters, Cole brings down the kneepad, and Callis freaks out! But JOSH ALEXANDER is here, and he just CLOBBERS Cole!!
Winner: Adam Cole, by disqualification (still AEW TNT Champion)
Callis laughs as the Don Callis Family’s Walking Weapon beats Cole down! But Kyle doesn’t get to be TNT Champion, what good was this? Alexander BITES Cole, Callis says break Cole! Kyle & Alexander mug Cole while the fans boo and cuss Callis out! But wait! Here comes Brody King! The King of Death ahs a chair, and he runs Alexander & Kyle off! This match was to be the main event, but it might as well happen now! Will Brody bulldoze through Alexander to head for Fyter Fest? Or will the Don Callis Family still secure something good for the Summer?
AEW International Championship Qualifier: Josh Alexander w/ The Don Callis Family VS Brody King!
Dynamite returns, security standing between the Walking Weapon and King of Death, but they won’t wait any longer! Security is literally thrown aside and the bell rings! The brawl is on and the fans love it! Brody KNEES Alexander, ROCKS him, puts him in a corner, and CHOPS him! And ROCKS him! And repeat! Brody ROCKS and CHOPS, stands Alexander up and whips corner to corner. Brody runs up, Alexander BOOTS him then goes up, to MISSILE DROPKICK! Alexander dusts himself off, stomps Brody around, then rips the shirt away to CHOKE Brody with it! The ref counts, Alexander stops at 4 and taunts Brody by flossing with the shirt, and we don’t mean teeth.
Alexander offers the shirt to fans, but then drops it on the floor. Alexander whips, Brody reverses and BACKDROPS! The fans fire up as Callis keeps putting Alexander over as the best Canadian wrestler ever. Brody gets his shirt back, and he stuffs it in Alexander’s mouth! The fans cheer but Callis says there is no place for that here! Brody has Alexander against the ropes and CLUBS him! Alexander suffers Beats of the War Drum, and fans count to seven before Brody shoves him down! Brody tosses his shirt away, then brings Alexander up. Alexander fires body shots but Brody ROCKS him back. Brody puts Alexander against the post, hushes the fans, and winds up.
But Alexander ducks, Brody’s CHOP hits POST! The fans all wince as Brody clutches his hand! Alexander then RAMS Brody into the post to go after the shoulder! Alexander wrenches the arm, and he SLAMS it off railing! The fans boo but Alexander keeps after Brody. Alexander CHOPS Brody, refreshes the count, then brings Brody around to whip. But Brody reverses to send Alexander into barriers! Brody choke grips with his off hand, and he BARRIER CHOKE SLAMS Alexander! The fans fire up and Brody CHOPS Alexander against the barrier! Alexander falls, the fans fire up, and Brody stalks Alexander around the way.
Brody brings Alexander up, ROCKS him, but that was the bad hand. The fans rally and Brody puts Alexander in the ring. Alexander BOOTS Brody, then BOOTS the arm! Alexander runs, but Brody breaks through the lariat and CLOBBERS Alexander! Alexander tumbles out of the ring, and Brody builds speed! Brody DIVES into a FOREARM! Alexander has Brody in the ropes, APRON DDT! Brody slumps down and sputters, and then Alexander CHOPS him! The fans rally, Alexander runs, and he BODY CHECKS Brody off the apron! Alexander soaks up the heat while Lance Archer applauds. Callis says Alexander is not intimidated by size because he has the technique!
Fans chant “You Suck!” but Alexander SLAMS the bad arm into the post! Brody clutches his hand, but he CHOPS with the left! And CHOPS again! Alexander kicks and CHOPS in return! Alexander brings Brody around the way, and whips him hard into steel steps! Brody writhes, Alexander grins as he refreshes the count, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref checks on Brody, but Brody refuses to let the bad arm stop him. Alexander goes out and walks up the steps so he can stomp Brody’s hand! The ref reprimands but Alexander kicks Brody around. Alexander puts Brody in the ring, but Brody ROCKS him with an elbow! Brody CHOPS, but Alexander CLAWS Brody’s eyes! Alexander adjusts his wrestling headgear before bringing Brody around. Alexander HIP DROPS the good arm, looking to leave Brody with no arms! Alexander traps the bad arm and SNAP LOCKS it! Brody writhes and Alexander takes a moment to soak up heat. Brody drags himself up with the ropes, but Alexander pulls on the arms!
The ref reprimands, Brody ROCKS Alexander, but Alexander kicks low! Alexander climbs up in the corner to rain down fists! Brody stops Alexander at five, but Alexander CHOPS! Brody CHOPS, Alexander CHOPS repeat! Alexander CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS, then brings Brody in for a BIG suplex! That alone was impressive, and Alexander covers, TWO! Brody toughs it out and Alexander grows frustrated. Alexander looms over Brody, throws down elbows, then he drags Brody by the bad arm. SNAP LOCK! Brody writhes again but Alexander paces. Alexander drags Brody back up, and he clamps on with a keylock!
Dynamite returns to single picture as Brody endures. The fans rally, Brody fights up, and Brody fires body shots. The fans fire upas Brody CHOPS! But that was the bad hand again! Alexander waistlocks, but Brody switches, and he GERMAN SUPLEXES! The fans fire up and Brody LARIATS! But again, the bad arm! Alexander BOOTS Brody, BOOTS him again, but Brody SOUTHPAW LARIATS! Both men are down and the fans fire up. A standing count starts and the fans rally. Callis claims Alexander is ahead on points, not that that matters right now.

Winner: Brody King, by pinfall (advances to the AEW International Championship match)
The Don Callis Family had two chances tonight, failed them both, and now Brody heads for Colorado and Fyter Fest. Will The King of Death end the reign of The Best Bout Machine? Who else will join Brody and Kenny Omega in the Mile High City?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
On top of the other two International Championship qualifiers, Claudio VS Komander and Hechicero VS Mascara Dorada, we will have Mina Shirakawa VS Skye Blue! Will the Fighting Gravure Idol stay strong in the wake of losing at Double or Nothing? Plus, after the confrontation during the TNT Championship match, Paragon battles RPG Vice, but with some added names to the mix! RPG Vice bring in NEVER Openweight Champion, Konosuke Takeshita, while Roddy & Kyle conglomerate with NJPW Strong Openweight Champion, Tomohiro Ishii! Could this Six Man Tag open some doors to more golden opportunities?
Kyle Fletcher speaks.
The Protostar does not know whose call that was, whether it was Callis or Alexander, but he doesn’t care, because he does NOT need help out there, and certainly not to beat Adam Cole! He should be standing here as the NEW TNT Champion! But speaking of Cole, he comes running in and the two start throwing hands! Kyle has a GUILLOTINE FACELOCK! Security rushes out, separates the two, and Cole says Kyle is a dead man! Cole knows he had Kyle beat, but when and where will these two put the claims to rest?
Mercedes Mone heads to the ring!
The CEO struts her way out, carrying all her belts, the Owen Hart Cup on display. Mone grabs a mic and says, “El Pasooooo~! I now stand before you not only as the greatest TBS & Rev-Pro Champion of all time… But as the greatest winner of the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament!” The fans are torn, but Mone says the legends, Owen Hart and her hero, Eddie Guerrero… The fans cheer for El Paso’s own, the late, great Latino Heat, and Mone says they do NOT compare to the greatness of Mone! That is why she is the CEO of AEW! But wait! Timeless Toni Storm makes her way out here! This face-to-face is now official as the AEW Women’s World Champion steps into the ring.
The fans cheer for Toni, and the two champions eye each other while Toni gets herself a mic. Toni kicks off the shoes and sets her belt down on the mat. Mone says, “Toni, darling, we finally meet.” The fans applaud that, and Mone says she knows these AEW fans are so sick of the black ‘n’ white. They want a champion full of color! The fans boo that, but Toni says, “Hello, Mercedes. I have waited so long for you. 441 days ago, you arrived in AEW on a show named after you. And since then, you’ve won titles, you’ve made history, and you’ve remained undefeated. But you have never once spoke to me. You have never once looked at me.
“You said that you’ve been watching me since before you even came here. You told Antony Khan that this was the one match you wanted to have. So, darling, what took you so long?” The fans cheer, and Mone says back, “What took me so long? Patience, darling, patience.” The fans boo, but Mone says this isn’t about Toni, this is about Mone and her legacy. And you think she’s going to go around backstage shaking just anybody’s hand? When Mone is the Beyonce of Women’s Wrestling? You gotta be kidding! The fans boo but Mone asks Toni, “Do you not know who I am? I am the standard, I am the conversation, I am the blueprint, I AM the revolution!”
Fans are torn, but Toni smirks as there are those who chant, “No, You’re Not! No, You’re Not!” Toni says she is the Toni Storm of Pro-Wrestling, and she swears to an unknown God that you have NEVER met anyone like her! The fans cheer that! Mone says yes, that’s right. This Toni, this “shy, nervous Toni Storm that I met ten years ago,” is very different. But so is Mone. Mone is not just a Boss, she is a CEO. She has beaten the very best from all over the world, from Mexico to Japan to England. And now at All In: Texas, Mone is bringing it home. We will have THE greatest women’s match of all time! Fans like the sound of that.
Toni says they have so many similarities. They both started so young, struggled on the indies, found success, were given trophies and flowers, and when those weren’t enough, they left it all behind to follow their hearts. And in AEW, they became exactly who they are meant to be! The fans cheer that! Mone nods, and Toni continues: There is one glaring difference. While Mone wants all the titles, Toni needs only one. Toni has lived for this title, she has cried for this title, she has bled for this title, and she has DIED for this title! The fans chant, “She’s Our Champion! Toni! Toni!” Mone is annoyed, but Toni keeps going.
“So if you want to ride the Money Train through the Toni Tunnel, I just hope you can get deep enough.” The fans cheer that! Mone says not even Toni’s hips are wide enough for the Money Train! Toni says 45 days form now, they will meet again in Texas. And somewhere in the world, a little girl with big dreams will be watching. She will say, “Holy S*IT, these b*tches are crazy!” And then, that little girl will find out who the better woman is! Toni sincerely believes Mone is the greatest of all time. But unfortunately for Mone, Toni happens to be TIMELESS~! The fans cheer that, and Mone scowls.
Mone tells Toni that Toni may call herself timeless, but what she deserves is for her time to come an end! Mone will see Toni at All In! Toni says, “See you at All In, darling.” The fans fire up as Mone puts her other belts aside to offer a handshake. Toin smiles and accepts. Then they bring each other in to stare down. Toni smells Mone, and then kisses Mone on the hand. Mone reels Toni in for a Gory Especial! Toni fights out to reel Mone in! Mone scrambles free of the driver, and the fans fire up! That was just a taste of what’s to come, but who will taste sweet victory when these two battle it out in Globe Life Field?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite to follow Double or Nothing while building to Fyter Fest and All In. Excalibur said himself that tonight paralleled Double or Nothing by bookending things with the Owen Hart Cup stories. Great opening promo from Hangman, Swerve and Ospreay. Swerve did have a good point of asking if Hangman was in cahoots with The Bucks, but we also know that’s not the case. And of course Swerve and Hangman will be at odds during this whole All In build. But just as likely, we will get a great “Avengers working together” kind of moment to finally take out the Death Riders and get that title off Moxley.
Great closing promo from Toni and Mone, with a good reference back to their time in WWE. I’m still hoping for them to put all the belts on the line so that they are truly going all in. But the tease of someone taking a finisher to the belt was good stuff. 45 days of build, who knows what else we get, but there’s also no guarantee that Mone keeps the TBS Championship. It’d be wild if someone took that title from her on the way, but it could be a point of pressure that Mone has to defend her other belts while Toni only has to worry about one.
Good debut for Thekla tonight, it was very in line with a Malakai/Aleister Black debut. Hayter seems to automatically be the woman who faces returning and debuting wrestlers and that’s not a bad spot, but it would be nice if she got to do title stuff. Great women’s tag match, and kudos to Harley fighting through a broken nose. But in the end, the Heels winning made sense when they lost at Double or Nothing. There’s talk of tag titles coming, but I don’t have faith in that when TK’s pacing of the women’s division still hasn’t improved. The current example is the poor planning he has with the ROH Women’s Pure Championship.
RIP the Frat House, their ceiling is ROH after getting crushed by The Opps. A little surprised we didn’t get Hook showing up or having a promo, but maybe that happens for Collision. The Mixed Six Tag was great stuff, and throwing Speedball in there was a little surprising until it was clear the Death Riders were winning that. Good promo from Hurt Syndicate, but every time MJF talks about “his” world title, it feels like Lashley wants to roll his eyes or something, because duh, why wouldn’t he and Shelton want their own shots at that title? If Moxley does lose at All In, and MJF goes after Hangman, you can bet MJF and Lashley butt heads again over who really gets the title match.
Good promo from Ricochet, but I wonder… Ricochet wants a crew, there’s a duo named CRU… Is Ricochet going to lead Lio & Action as a trio? And if it isn’t CRU, who would fall in line behind Ricochet? Unless that’s the point of his next story arc: failing to make a faction because he’s that insufferable. And great Don Callis Family stuff tonight. Cole VS Kyle was great, good move for Paragon to go after them, and that Six Man Tag on Collision will be fun. Alexander running out there really was confusing, not just kayfabe, but maybe they want to give Kyle an out. Kyle is great as a wrestler and a personality, fans surely will cheer for him over the rest of Callis Family, but we’ll wait and see how Cole VS Kyle 2 goes.
Alexander VS Brody was a great main event match, with great story of going after Brody’s hand. Alexander getting busted open hard way from perhaps that top rope stuff did add something. And honestly, I’m pleasantly surprised by Brody winning. Brody and Omega alone is great, but then it’ll surely be Claudio over Komander, and now Hechicero over Mascara Dorada to keep the two Faces and two Heels ratio.
My Score: 8.9/10

It’s the Double or Nothing Buy-In!
Join Renee Paquette, RJ City & Jeff Jarrett in discussing, predicting and analyzing all the action about to happen in Phoenix, Arizona!
Backstage interview with Ricochet.
Lexy Nair asks the One & Only how he feels going into not just AEW’s first Stretcher Match, but his own first stretcher match against the unpredictable Mark Briscoe. Ricochet says Lexy is smarter than Renee Paquette & Tony Schiavone combined, but that’s not saying much. That said, this is his first Stretcher Match, but while some say Mark is unpredictable, Ricochet says Mark’s brainless. Speaking of brainless, there have been a lot of discourse online about the rules of a Stretcher Match, so allow Ricochet to explain.
Rule one: Ricochet incapacitates Mark long enough to place his dumbass on a stretcher. Ricochet then rolls said stretch up to the lovely ambulance the local hospital has supplied for them. Ricochet puts the stretcher in the ambulance, close the doors, and Mark immediately receives the best medical care possible for the beating Ricochet just put upon him! Um, what’s rule two? Rule two is that there ARE no rules, outside of rule one. AHA~! Ricochet heads out, but will he make this Stretcher Match #OuttaThisWorld? Or will he fail to #ManUp against the Sussex County Chicken?
Buy-In: Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford VS Anna Jay & Harley Cameron!

Backstage interview with The Sons of Texas.
Alex Marvez is with Sammy Guevara & Dustin Rhodes, and he’s ready to rep the #DayOneGuys. Marvez notes Sammy was part of that very first Double or Nothing in 2019. Safe to say, things have changed? Yes, that is true. Sammy is a husband and dad! He has a legendary tag partner, and he even has new merchandise! But tonight, things change again as the Sons of Texas become the NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions! The Natural’s very first AEW match was with his brother, Cody, and that remains one of, if not THE bloodiest match in AEW history. Is Dustin going to bring that same level of violence?
Dustin says yes, absolutely. He wants everyone to know that last night, he was pondering on this moment. He looked out the window and saw this storm rolling in. It didn’t look good. It looked really, really bad. Hurt Syndicate, the Sons of Texas want more gold. Understand, try and hurt Dustin! There’s nothing he hasn’t already been through! This is for ALL the gold! This is the Natural, Dustin Rhodes, a living legend! The Spanish God, Sammy Guevara! They are the UNDEFEATED ROH World Tag Team Champions! Do they have a chance? Yes, they do! On any given Sunday, anything can happen, so watch out!
You wanna hurt ’em? Bring the best you got, because it just won’t be enough! Dustin & Sammy want more, but will that ambition be their downfall? Or will they be the ones that hurt people?

Winner: Hangman Page, by pinfall (2025 Men’s Owen Hart Cup winner)
Another instant classic, and The Cowboy has his redemption! At least, redemption in this Owen Hart Tournament after he fell short in 2024. Will he have true redemption when he takes the AEW World Championship back? Will he be the hero that takes down Maniac Jon Moxley? Will AEW go All In with the Hangman?
Hangman goes to leave, but then decides to step back into the ring. The fans cheer for “Both These Guys!” as Hangman stands over Ospreay. Ospreay looks up, then manages to stand. The two stare down once again, covered in the confetti and streamers, and Hangman offers a handshake. Ospreay takes it, and the fans cheer the show of respect. Is this a sign that their gentlemen’s agreement stands? Will Ospreay and Hangman be allies against the Death Riders and tear them down together?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Double or Nothing, even with a mishap/misunderstanding on when Buy-In/Zero Hour started. Maybe AEW themselves thought they were doing more Buy-In matches, but I’m relieved it was only two. Great tag match from Harley & Anna VS Megan & Ford, and a great win for the Faces. I almost thought Megan was going to turn on Ford for messing up, but maybe that happens the next time Ford loses a match for Megan. And great 8 Man Tag, with another great win for Faces, but it was definitely a filler-for-fun kind of match.
Great move bookending the night with the Owen Hart Cup matches, and Mone VS Hayter was a great opening match for the main card. Mone winning was mostly expected, and just me personally, I’m still disappointed that we’re not getting Mone VS Athena at All In. They teased it when the tournament started because Athena eyed the TBS Championship, but now, Athena barely even does stuff on ROH now and Mone is facing Toni Storm. Toni VS Mina was awesome, too, one of Mina’s best matches in or out of AEW, and the fans loved both of them so I don’t think the fans would’ve hated Mina winning.
Great stuff with FTR VS Nigel & Garcia but I’m also a bit disappointed we didn’t get anything from Cope. Not even like a tease that he’s on his way back to put some fear in FTR. I did like all the extra stuff with Schiavone, though. Awesome Stretcher/Ambulance match with Ricochet VS Briscoe, and Briscoe of course bled. Ricochet winning made sense, though, he’s on the rise and needs that momentum so he’ll be hot on the other side of a title story. A little surprised he isn’t in the International Championship field, but I guess having a match starring CMLL luchadores was a given to help prepare for Grand Slam: Mexico. Maybe Ricochet targets a top CMLL name for that show…
That said, I can’t believe Fyter Fest is going to be a FOUR HOUR SPECIAL, right before the FOUR HOUR Summer Blockbuster on June 11th! Way to make Grand Slam: Mexico feel important when it’s just a two hour show and then they go to Washington state for Collision that week. Of the field, Claudio definitely gets in, and I would think Josh Alexander does to represent Don Callis Family. That’s two Heels, so Mascara Dorada should get in and be another Face alongside Omega. It also works on the level that Callis keeps putting Alexander over as the best Canadian wrestler and Omega is also Canadian so they will settle that argument Callis is making.
Speaking of Don Callis, the Six Man Tag of Don Callis Family VS Paragon made for a great buffer between Anarchy in the Arena and the main event. It was still a very good match, but I could’ve also seen this main-eventing a Dynamite or Collision. I’m surprised we didn’t get as much Kyle VS Kyle in that, but it did happen for the finish. Fletcher as the guy to go after Cole’s TNT Championship is a good choice. Konosuke doesn’t have to go for a title while he’s still NEVER Openweight Champion for NJPW, but I love that Brody, Ishii & Tanahashi reinforced Paragon. It is a partial tease for some Forbidden Door stuff but that’s not until August, so maybe we get some Conglomeration 2.0 on the way, under the Paragon nickname.
Great tag title match, and they made it fun despite everyone knowing it was going to be Hurt Syndicate’s win. MJF and Lashley being tense with each other just to show they’re palling around like that was clever, and now Hurt Syndicate checks off another team. Okada VS Bailey could be a sleeper hit of this PPV, and maybe of all month because both guys busted out so much of their movesets, countered a good amount of the other guy’s stuff, and then Okada still finds a way to win and cleanly. Okada himself should really hop right to another title story to stay hot with these big four hour shows they’re doing.
This year’s Anarchy in the Arena was wild, the wildest one yet I would think. A shame Eddie Kingston didn’t show, given the social media posts he had teasing it, but if he wasn’t 100% by tonight, it couldn’t be helped. Briscoe sorta jumps in as a great proxy for Eddie, though, and of course someone extra was needed with Gabe Kidd helping out. I like how Hook helped out just the littlest bit but is clearly feeling snubbed with how Hobbs joined the Opps to be a trios champion. That can be the next phase of the story for Joe since he isn’t THE world champion right now. Great finish with Omega’s “exploding” table and those spiked sneakers from Swerve.
And of course, Ospreay VS Hangman tore down the house. Well, the proverbial house was barely standing after this wild night but then it was just completely demolished with this main event. Ospreay and Hangman busted out just about everything they had, similar to Okada VS Bailey, and it really could’ve gone either way. I was pleasantly surprised to see Hangman got the win, though. I remember saying it a few years ago that Hangman’s entire career story has been perfect pacing and such, and I think I’m going to stand by it. He had his rough patches, but he’s got his redemption arc going now, and he has Ospreay as an ally along with the Faces we just saw in Anarchy in the Arena. They’ll be alike an AEW Avengers/Thunderbolts taking on The Death Riders going towards All In and it’ll be great.
My Score: 9.3/10
