PLAY BY PLAY
LA Knight is here!
Fans fire up for the Mega Star as he goes to the ring, not even 24 hours away from facing Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship. Knight gets the mic as the fans cheer him on, and he says, “Lemme talk to ya! Nearly 1200 days, my GAWD is that impressive. But what’s more impressive is how quickly 1200 days can come to an end. Let’s go ahead and rewind your minds a little bit. Just last week, what happened? Roman Reigns comes on down here, he said, ‘Oh, well, I’m gonna go ahead and give LA Knight a spear, right?’ NAH-NAH! Tribal Chief gets dropped on his head on the business end of a BFT!
“And guess what? Tomorrow at Crown Jewel, it goes no different. He finds himself dropped on his head, and don’t get lost in this sauce right now, because here’s what this is. This is a hostile takeover, make no mistake about it. I’m coming to take over everything that you stand for, everything that you think that you’ve owned for the last three years. That WWE Championship has no chance but to come with me, and that will be the end of Roman’s reign. YEAH!” Fans echo “YEAH!” but Knight says let’s come on around- WAIT. Here comes the Tribal Chief! Payback of sorts for the interruption last week, as Roman and Paul Heyman make their way out.
Knight dares Roman to get in the ring already but Roman first lifts up the Universal Championship for the pyro. Then Roman makes his way down the ramp and to the ring, and raises his finger to the sky. Fans are torn as Roman then steps in between the ropes and stares Knight down. Roman then raises the belt again for the second round of pyro. Heyman hands over a mic, and Roman says normally, he’d tell this irrelevant town to acknowledge him, but they know who he is. Can’t say the same for Knight. Roman thought after all this time it was clear who the Tribal Chief is, but Knight doesn’t seem to understand, so Roman will introduce himself one time only.
“I’m Roman Reigns. I’m the Tribal Chief. I’m the Head of the Table. And I’m the Face of the WWE.” Fans are torn there, but Roman says a lot has changed around here. He takes his time to leave, and he expects people to step up. Never thought it’d be Knight. But Knight did something to catch the attention of the fans. He managed his time wisely and he has all the fans on his side. Roman gives Knight credit for that. Not easy to do that in this day and age. Go ahead, chant his name. The fans do chant “L A KNIGHT! L A KNIGHT!” and Roman says this is the last time that’s gonna happen.
Like Roman said, he’s advanced the business. Knight is practically setting them back. Roman pushed this forward, all the way to the big screen. The kids call this what now, Wise Man? This is cinema. Heyman says Roman’s the star! Damn right he’s the star! Roman’s the MEGA Star! Roman turned this business into a MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR industry! He’s done everything you can do in this business! And what has Knight done the past few months? Getting fans to chant his name and what? Cosplay a redneck version of Roman’s cousin? That’s done now. Knight’s dream is done, this is the reality, this is the Island of Relevancy!
So take this and enjoy it. Because tomorrow, Roman will smash Knight! Will end Knight! They won’t chant his name, they won’t remember Knight. Knight’s gonna disappear. Because when Roman’s done, they’ll just leave Knight in the desert. But don’t worry, he won’t be the last. Fans boo but Knight smirks. “Y’know what? You gotta be feeling pretty unbeatable right now, don’tcha? I mean, let’s face it, you’ve beaten everybody, haven’t ya? You’ve beaten just about everybody that’s stood in front of you. But you don’t understand. I ain’t coming at ya from the same angle that everybody else did. You don’t understand. I’m not here to finish something.
“You don’t understand. I’m here… to start something! YEAH! I’m here to start the LA Knight Era! So you wanna talk about cosplaying? I’m gonna cosplay the guy who’s gonna kick your ass at Crown Jewel! Matter of fact, I ain’t gonna cosplay it, I’m gonna live it! You come in here and you talk about ‘Mega Star,’ you wanna mock that. I tell you what, you’ve done an amazing job. You’ve made yourself damn near a Mega Star. But only because you carry that title. I’m the Mega Star because I live it every damn day! So I’ma put it to you like this. You talk about leaving me in the desert? I’ll tell you one more time, I don’t do warning shots.
“So make sure, if you’re gonna take your shot, make sure you leave me, make sure I’m good and done. Because if you don’t, I will come back and I will find you, and the only bloodline that will be visible will be running right down between your eyes while you hear ’em say, ‘AND NEW~ WWE Champion, L! A! KNIGHT! YEAH!!” Referees rush out to keep this from turning into a fist fight. Roman shoves, Knight shoves, but the refs stand between them. Will Knight make Roman acknowledge him whether he wants to or not?
Kevin Owens VS Austin Theory w/ Grayson Waller!
The Prizefighter managed to hit both The Now and the Aussie Icon with one punch last week, and now he’s looking to just fire off as many punches as he can on Theory 1v1! Will it be more than the 150 million hits Theory keeps taking credit for? Or will KO just need one to KO Austin Theory Live?
SmackDown returns and Kevin is impatient for Theory’s entrance. Waller has joined commentary, and says Kevin “the swamp dog” is just jealous of Theory. Speaking of, Kayla Braxton interviews Theory at gorilla. But before she can really ask about last week, Theory says Kevin sucker punched him and his boy, Waller. But Theory is used to hits, because he’s the 150 Million Hitman! And Kevin also said Theory has a punchable face? No, Theory has a great face, a confident face, a face that should be on billboards everywhere. Kevin’s face is rough. One only a mother could love. But after Kevin experiences Austin Theory Live, Kevin won’t need a mask for Halloween.
Theory makes his entrance, the bell rings and Kevin storms up but Theory backs away. Theory wants Kevin to chill but Kevin says sorry. They tie up, Kevinn puts Theory in a corner but Theory turns things around. Theory shoves Kevin but Kevin goes after Theory! Theory gets in the ropes for defense and the ref backs Kevin off. Kevin and Theory reset, they tie up, and Kevin puts Theory in a corner. Theory shouts for the ropebreak, Kevin lets off and says he’s just wrestling. But then he takes a swing! Theory kicks, Kevin blocks and spins him, but Theory dodges and bails out! Kevin pursues but Theory RAMS him into the apron!
And then Theory RAMS Kevin into the desk! Waller asks how that feels, and then Theory puts Kevin in the ring. Kevin stomps and rains down fists while fans boo. Theory drags Kevin up, bumps him off buckles, then climbs up to rain down fists! Fans boo but also count, and Theory goes all the way to nine, winds up, and- Kevin blocks the tenth! Kevin backs Theory down, and ROCKS him in return! Then atomic drops! Then Kevin clotheslines Theory up and out! Kevin shouts “This is MY show!” Then he tells Waller to “SUCK IT!” before he goes out to LARIAT Theory down! And then SENTON! Fans fire up for Kevin while SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns, Theory talks some trash but Kevin ROCKS him! Then SMACKS him off the desk! Kevin puts Theory in the ring, Waller distracts him, and Theory HOTSHOTS Kevin! Fans boo as Theory POSTS Kevin, puts him in, and CHOP BLOCKS! Theory says ALL DAY! And he DECKS Kevin! Cover, TWO! Theory claims that was more like five, but he soaks up the heat from the fans. Theory calls his shot, drags Kevin up, fireman’s carry, but Kevin fights free! Kevin ROCKS Theory, whips him, and pops him up! Theory slips free, but Kevin blocks a kick to give a kick! Theory stops the Stunner to ROCK Kevin!
Theory somersaults and BLOCKBUSTERS! Cover, TWO! Kevin is tougher than that, but Theory drags him to a corner and stomps away! The ref counts, Theory lets off at 4, and comes back to clothesline! Theory fires haymakers, hoists Kevin up, then ROCKS Kevin again. Kevin kicks back! Theory fires another haymaker but Kevin gives it back! They brawl, Theory goes up, but Kevin hits a SUPER FISHERMAN BUSTER! Fans fire up and Waller freaks out a bit. Theory staggers up, into a whip and POP-UP POWERBOMB!! Fans fire up as Kevin tells Waller to watch. Kick and STUNNER!! Cover, Kevin wins!
Winner: Kevin Owens, by pinfall
The Prizefighter takes down one punchable punk, but will he #JustKeepFighting to get at Waller?
Backstage interview with Bianca Belair.
Cathy Kelley is with The EST and says she looks to right a wrong against Bayley. Yes, Bayley and Bianca have history. As talented as Bayley is, she’s doing too much. And ever since Damage Control took Bianca out, this is personal. She wants vengeance. But then DMG CTRL ATTACKS! They mug Bianca, but she fights them all! Nick Aldis and producers rush in to stop this, DMG CTRL runs away while laughing. Will Bianca get back at all the bullies with her match tonight and the title match at Crown Jewel? Or will DMG CTRL still control Friday Night SmackDown?
Bobby Lashley & The Street Profits find Logan Paul backstage.
The All Mighty welcomes the Maverick to the show, and they loved seeing him nail Rey Mysterio with that right hand. Montez Ford says it was about time someone did that. Angelo Dawkins says everyone from Ohio has that knockout power. Logan appreciates all this, and is going to keep it humble, but we’re gonna see a lot more of that at Crown Jewel. Nice! They all shake hands, and Logan heads out. Lashley says that is what success is about. Logan comes here and takes what he wants, so that is what they have to do. But then B-Fab walks over. And she says the Profits are up! New suits, Rolexes, “Y’all look good.”
And Bobby, can they talk? Oh, certainly. Lashley and B-Fab go off to the side, is Hit Row going to strike a deal?
SmackDown shares footage from last week’s SmackDown Lowdown.
Cathy Kelley was interviewing Shotzi Blackheart when Chelsea Green & Piper Niven interrupted. And Chelsea had an idea. Piper & Chelsea VS Shotzi “and a friend!” Problem is, Shotzi has no friends! HAHAHAHAHA! Bye~! Shotzi still smiled through the insult, is she going to have the last laugh? We find out, after the break!
Piper Niven & Chelsea Green VS Shotzi Blackheart & ???
SmackDown returns and the Wild Child makes her entrance on the tank! But who did she find to help her #TCB, Take Care o’ Bidness? Shotzi has a big smile as she points to the screen. IT’S CHARLOTTE FLAIR! Chelsea says that’s not fair! But too late, Shotzi drew the Queen! Can they trump the champions and grab some golden tickets?
The teams sort out and Shotzi starts with Piper. Shotzi fires off forearms but Piper pushes her away. Shotzi BOOTS Piper from the corner, goes up and leaps, but Piper catches the crossbody for a SHOULDER BUSTER! Cover, TWO! Shotzi is tougher than that, and we see Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn watching backstage. They’re amused as Piper stomps Shotzi then drags her up. Piper drags Shotzi over with a cobra clutch, then she tags Chelsea. Ripcord into Chelsea’s forearm, then Piper runs Shotzi over! Chelsea covers, TWO! Another cover, TWO! Chelsea is annoyed but she drags Shotzi up to wrench and whip tot he corner.
Chelsea runs up but Charlotte avoids the cheap shot. The ref has to keep Charlotte back, but the champs get to mug Shotzi behind his back! Fans rally for Shotzi, Chelsea tags Piper, and the champs double whip. Shotzi holds ropes to then KICK Piper! Chelsea pulls hair but Shotzi ELBOWS her, then ENZIGURIS Piper!

Chelsea is up top, she leaps but Charlotte gets under, to BOOT her, too! Cover, Charlotte & Shotzi win!
Winners: Shotzi Blackheart & Charlotte Flair, by pinfall
This unlikely duo just beat the champs! Will they get to do it again with the titles on the line? Or will the wicked witches watching backstage have something to say about that?
Solo Sikoa is here!
The Enforcer of the Island heads to the ring, accompanied by Paul Heyman, less than 24 hours away from facing The Greatest of All Time, John Cena, at Crown Jewel. Fans boo as Heyman has the mic to say, “I’m wondering how many of you realize that this is what they call the end of days for the Doctor of Thuganomics, John Cena. It’s not the way I wanted it to be. This was not my fault! And don’t dare blame Your Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns. John Cena comes back to WWE, who does he pick a fight with? The Bloodline! What the hell do you think we in the Bloodline are gonna do?! Just let him get away with it?! No!
“I don’t pick up my phone and go, ‘Call Roman Reigns.’ No, Roman Reigns makes the call. Roman Reigns calls the shot. Roman Reigns calls the shot and what does he do? Roman Reigns turns to the Enforcer, Roman Reigns turns to the Sergeant at Arms, Roman Reigns turns to our assassin! Roman Reigns turns… to Solo. And let’s be clear on this, Solo does have a huge future in the WWE. And not just as an Enforcer, but one day stepping up when the time is right to be the Tribal Chief. And you can’t become the Tribal Chief without victims at your feet. And there’s no bigger victim to be victimized than John… Cena!”
Fans boo but Heyman tells John, “You could have made it easy.” The fans boo more but then Solo tells Heyman something. Heyman lets Solo have the mic, and Solo says, “Paul, why’re you wasting your breath talking to them? We didn’t come here to talk to them. We came here to talk to John Cena, face to face!” Fans like the sound of that, at least. And here comes John Cena! Cena goes right to the ring, no smiles or having fun this time. Fans chant for “CENA! CENA!” as Solo stares him down. Solo says, “John Cena. I’m pissed off I got to wait ’til tomorrow to fight you. But I got orders from the Tribal Chief.
“And those orders was to give you this microphone so you can say good-bye to them while you still can. Because come tomorrow, you won’t be able to!” Fans chant “Let’s Go, Cena!” and Cena asks, “That’s it? Do you realize who you’re in the ring with? We’ve been waiting for you to talk for over a year, and that’s all you bring to the table? I can do this with half a voice and it’s only gonna take 90 seconds to cook ya. I’ma say goodbye. I’m gonna say goodbye. But I’m not gonna say goodbye to them. I’m gonna say goodbye for them. We all know the only reason you got a job here is cuz of your cousin.”
Fans go “OH~!” and Heyman calms Solo down. But Cena says we all see homie walking around thinking he’s some big badass enforcer, when really, he’s nothing but a bargain basement Taz ripoff! So do Cena a solid, Solo. Tape the thumb up extra tight. The only place it is getting stuck tomorrow is straight up your ass! Yeah, that was 90 seconds. Mic drop and Cena leaves, is he going to be the one that ends Solo’s WWE career?
DMG CTRL regroups backstage.
They all feel good about the ambush because Bianca didn’t see it coming. How many times do they have to beat her up and beat her up? She should have her head on a swivel! She’s never gonna learn her lesson, so Bayley will just beat her down for good! And then maybe tomorrow, it’ll be Bayley VS Iyo for the title? Guys, c’mon, just kidding! Just kidding! Aldis says yeah, that’s a good joke, Bayley. But while on the subject, let’s talk about that match with Bianca. It is a big match. A huge match! So huge, Aldis needs to ensure the WWE Universe gets exactly what they paid for. Oh, they already are with DMG CTRL on the show, amirite?
Well, yeah, that’s the thing. What Aldis is talking about is a match with a winner. Best way to ensure that is DMG CTRL is barred from ringside. What!? NO!! Yes. Iyo smiles and says Bayley can handle this. The Evil Genius & #CobraKai leave Bayley to it, will the Role Model be able to lead by example?
Donnybrook Rules: The Brawling Brutes VS Pretty Deadly!
After weeks of back and forth, fighting in health spas and in pubs, it’s time for FIGHT NIGHT to go old fashioned! Will Ridge Holland & Pete Dunne make Kit Wilson & Elton Prince wish they were still sidelined? Or will they just make it a reality?
SmackDown returns and Pretty Deadly makes their entrance. But while they get the slow-motion for their posing, the Brutes attack! Dunne CLOBBERS Elton and Ridge DECKS Kit! Fans fire up as the brawl is on right on stage! Ridge sends Kit to ringside, Dunne CHOPS Elton! The Brutes put Pretty Deadly in the ring and now the bell sounds. Pretty Deadly want the Brutes to show mercy, but then run for it! They get caught in the ropes, and fans fire up for DOUBLE BEATS OF THE BODHRAIN! They go to TEN, then way past ten, to about TWENTY-TWO! Kit falls, Elton grimaces on the apron, and Dunne dropkicks him into the ring!
Ridge drags Elton up and Dunne has Kit, APRON X-PLEX for Kit while Ridge scoop SLAMS Elton! Fans fire up as Kit hits the floor again, and Ridge ROCKS Elton! Dunne looks under the ring, and he brings out shillelaghs! Shoutout to Sheamus while he’s away, and Ridge whips Elton hard into the corner! So hard, in fact, Elton’s “yes boys” hit buckles! Ridge then SPLASHES Elton, and reels him in to put up top backwards. Elton is in a Tree of Woe, Dunne holds him back using a shillelagh, and Ridge RAMS into Elton! Kit runs in, but into a FLAPJACK! Ridge has a shillelagh now to CHOKE Kit, and Dunne basement dropkicks him!
Fans fire up while Kit sputters and Dunne FLYING KNEES Elton down! Ridge ROCKS Kit, goes after him in the ropes, and Dunne bends Elton’s fingers while having him across the bar! Elton endures, but he SMACKS Dunne off the bar! Elton then hits a BACK SUPLEX on the bar! But Ridge CLOBBERS Elton! Kit goes out to ROCK Ridge, and POST him! Elton adds an UPPERCUT, and Pretty Deadly is on top. Fans boo but they drag Ridge up and into the ring. Kit ROCKS Ridge, Elton stomps away on him, and fans boo as the mugging continues. Then Pretty Deadly grab the shillelaghs for their own!
Ridge flounders up, Pretty Deadly takes aim, but Ridge blocks a shot! And then he blocks the other shot! Ridge has both Pretty Deadly, for a DOUBLE BACK DROP out of the ring! Fans fire up and Dunne returns! Ridge goes out, he stomps Elton then sets Pretty Deadly up. Dunne goes up to ARIHARA MOONSAULT everyone down!! Fans are thunderous and Dunne roars as SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns again, and Dunne kicks off the barrels to hit Elton with a TORNADO DDT to the floor! As for Ridge, he has Kit in an Alabama Lift!

Some how, some way, Kit & Elton avenge themselves from when Elton got his arm broken! Will they move on from the Brutes to make this Friday Night SnackDown?
Paul Heyman encounters Nick Aldis backstage.
Aldis says hello to Mr. Heyman, and Heyman says that’s a nice suit Aldis has. But may he offer some pearls of wisdom? Aldis doesn’t want Heyman to act like he has a choice in the matter. But please, Aldis has the United States Championship weigh-in to attend, so make it quick. Absolutely! If Heyman was Aldis, he’d have a lot of medical personnel on hand at Crown Jewel. LA Knight will surely need it, because in all Heyman’s years that he’s been around Samoans, this is the most savage version of Roman Reigns anyone, anyone, will ever see. Heyman then shrugs and Aldis asks if he’s done. With LA Knight? Hardly.
Aldis sighs as he heads on. Heyman’s warning aside, will Aldis at least have measures in place for Rey Mysterio and Logan Paul being face to face?
Aldis is backstage.
He welcomes the fans and the press to the official weigh-in for the WWE US Championship match at Crown Jewel. Allow him to first introduce the challenger, Logan Paul. And now, the champion, WWE Hall of Famer, Rey Mysterio. Each man steps into the room in turn, and Aldis steps back for the scale to be placed. As discussed, they simply step onto the scale and we can get their official weights. Logan is first, and he takes off his shirt but keeps his shoes on. As it stands, 213 pounds for Logan Paul. Then Rey steps up, belt aside but still all his clothing. Official weight, 175 for Rey Mysterio.
Logan chuckles at the difference but they get their faceoff photo op. Logan says Rey’s like an Oompa Loompa. Rey says Logan’s that heavy cuz he’s got a big mouth. Logan says he still backs it up. Dom was right, he’s a deadbeat dad! Logan wishes Rey luck then pats him on the head. Aldis says no touching, that was part of the deal. Rey has one last thing to say. SLAP! Logan is furious but Aldis stays between him and Rey! But then Rey BOPS Logan with the mic!! Logan falls over, Aldis reprimands Rey, but this all goes down in less than 15 hours! Will Rey return to the US still US Champion? Or will Logan knock him out and take the title whether anyone likes it or not?
Bianca Belair VS Bayley!
The EST is back and she doesn’t just want her title back, she wants revenge! Will she get the first part of it here tonight? Or will The Role Model use Bianca’s anger against her and catch her slipping?
SmackDown returns and Bayley makes her entrance. The bell rings and Bianca rushes in! Bayley dodges, throws her DMG CTRL shirt at her to blind her, and then she fires off on Bianca! Fans boo as Bayley beats Bianca down, but she lets off to hold up the shirt to rub in the power of DMG CTRL.

Bianca shoulders through the ropes but Bayley catches her for a HOTSHOT! Bayley then KNEES Bianca into the post! Bianca falls to the floor and Bayley grins as SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns again and Bayley TOSSES Bianca out of the ring. Bayley soaks up the heat before she FOLEY ELBOW DROPS on Bianca’s back! Fans boo but Bayley puts Bianca back in. Cover, ONE!! Bayley fumes while Bianca shows her toughness. Bayley talks trash, slaps her around, but Bianca slaps back! Bayley CLUBS Bianca down, drags her up, and clamps on a chinlock.

Been a long time since we heard Bianca hit someone with that braid attack! Bianca is rolling into her match with Iyo Sky, but she’s not done with Bayley! Revenge is revenge, and Bianca torture racks Bayley again! KISS OF DEATH through the table!! Bianca is rolling on all cylinders, will the strongEST, the fastEST, the roughEST, the toughEST be too much for even the Evil Genius to plan for?
My Thoughts:
A great episode, even for a go-home that was recorded last week right after last week’s episode. Great promos from LA Knight with Roman Reigns and from John Cena with Solo Sikoa, with the Faces getting the better of the Heels in them. But one way or another, pretty sure Roman beats Knight and Cena beats Solo. Great opening match from Kevin and Theory with Waller on commentary. A little surprised Kevin won and Waller didn’t try at all to help Theory cheat. Maybe that’ll be next time when Kevin faces Waller, and that prompts Kevin to get a teammate. Maybe Dragon Lee given his beef with Theory?
Good promo from Logan with All Mighty Profits, but the important part was B-Fab wanting to talk in private. Hit Row isn’t even really Hit Row anymore without Swerve or Dolla, will B-Fab and Adonis now join Lashley so they at least have a place to belong? Plus, there’s continuity for Hit Row VS Legado del Fantasma, which is now the LWO. Good weigh-in segment for Rey and Logan, not that weight matters in a title division that doesn’t have weight limits. But Rey getting the better of Logan here, I have a bad feeling that means Logan wins to be US Champion. Said before that while I personally don’t want it, this probably helps WWE on some sort of social media/relevancy/business level. Bleh.
I appreciate them making SmackDown Lowdown matter, if only in part. They never did that with Smack Talk during Pandemic Era. And great tag match of Piper & Chelsea VS Shotzi & Charlotte. While Fyre & Dawn feel like the obvious choice to get those titles off Piper & Chelsea, I kinda dig the duo of Shotzi & Charlotte for how different they are. And awesome stuff in that Donnybrook. But given Pretty Deadly is on their “return” push, it made sense for them to win out. These two teams are helping keep SmackDown going in the tag division while LWO and All Mighty Profits are busy fighting each other, maybe Pretty Deadly gets their shot at the tag titles soon.
And great stuff from Bianca and Damage Control. DMG CTRL attacking to then get banned from ringside is good stuff, it really adds to the passive aggressive tension that’s been there between Iyo and Bayley. Bianca VS Bayley was a great main event, and of course Bianca wins to go strong into Crown Jewel. But while Bianca gets a semblance of revenge putting Bayley through the table, she probably won’t beat Iyo. The math is now in Iyo’s favor because unless Aldis puts another ringside ban on DMG CTRL, Bayley and even Dakota Kai can help screw Bianca over. Or Iyo herself could find a way to cheat, maybe even get disqualified for Champion’s Advantage if she has to. But given Bianca has basically dominated DMG CTRL since SummerSlam 2021, DMG CTRL has to get a win of some kind.
My Score: 8.8/10

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

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

Cage RAMS into Knight, stands him up, then RAMS again! The ref counts, Cage CHOPS, and the fans cheer. Bailey rallies the fans but Archer coaches Cage, and Cage whips Knight hard into the corner! The fans are torn as Cage hauls Knight up. Cage ROCKS Knight, CHOPS him, then CHOKES him on the ropes! The ref counts, Cage stops at 4, then Cage stalks Knight. Cage stands Knight up, whips him to the corner, then runs in, only for Knight to BOOT! Cage still LARIATS!
Cage hauls Knight up, whips him to ropes, but Knight grabs ropes. Knight DUMPS Cage out, then DROPKICKS him down! Cage sputters, the fans fire up, and Knight builds speed to DIVE! But he bounces off Cage! Cage then fireman’s carries, APRON F5! Knight sputters but Cage goes up the steps to soak up cheers and jeers, all while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

But Cage ELBOWS Knight, whips, but Knight jumps up! SATELLITE- NO, Cage goes for ropes! Knight HOTSHOTS Cage for it! Then Knight springboards back in, MISSILE DROPKICK! The fans fire up while both men are down! A standing count starts while the fans rally up. Cage goes to a corner but he runs up on Knight. Knight bobs ‘n’ weaves, fires off shots, then fires a flurry of haymakers! But Cage grabs and TOSSES Knight to a corner!

Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
The Machine was out for 14 months and yet no ring rust to be found! However, The Jet is just #2Fly2Stop! Bailey brings mics into the ring to say, “Congratulations to The Jet on a hell of a win!” Knight says much appreciated. But like he said, they’re red hot right now! And Brian Cage, welcome back! Cage took Knight to his limits, but The Jet is still standing as TNT Champion. But Knight can’t get over how last week, he couldn’t get the job done becoming #Jet2Belts. Bailey says forget last week. Knight IS a future AEW World Champion! Bailey says he knows it, and everyone here knows it! The fans cheer that!
Knight says he appreciates the support from Bailey and Ashville. Bailey is always in his corner, Knight is always in Bailey’s. And if Bailey keeps it up, he’ll be singles champion, too. Bailey says yeah, Knight got him thinking. Tonight, Darby VS Takeshita, BAILEY WANTS NEXT! Bailey says Takeshita was his greatest rival in Japan, but they’ve yet to have a singles match in AEW. And Darby, as much as Bailey wants to see MJF go bald…! Bailey is coming for Darby’s AEW World Championship! JetSpeed daps it up, will they become a 2 Fly 2 Man Power Trip?
AEW reveals the Men’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament Brackets!
This year’s tournaments will go through Double or Nothing, and the finals will coincide with Forbidden Door 2026 on Sunday, June 28th in San Jose, California! The winner of each tournament will then challenge for THE AEW World Championship and AEW Women’s World Championships on August 30th at All In: London! And so, for the opening round, it will be: “Jungle” Jack Perry VS Mark Davis; Claudio Castagnoli VS Brody King; then Double or Nothing has both Samoa Joe VS Will Ospreay, and Swerve Strickland VS Bandido!
“Jungle” Jack Perry speaks.
“Mark Davis… I’m sure you feel some congratulations are in order. But you’re not champion to me. You see, you’re built like an Australia grizzly bear, yet you still needed somebody to hit me in the back with a golf club for you to beat me. At Stadium Stampede, bring your friends, bring any weapon you want, and I will crack you over the skull with it. Because anything goes. But after that, it’s back to grass roots, because it is you and me, fighting for a shot at the world title at All In: London. And in the Owen Hart Tournament, I will prove to you beyond a shadow of a doubt that I’m a better wrestler than you. I am the FUTURE world champion!
“And if you don’t like that, F YOU!” Jungle Jack is sharpening his knife, but will his edge be razor sharp when it comes time to cut down Dunkzilla?
Will Ospreay VS Ace Austin!
We’ve seen the Aerial Assassin training with The Death Riders, he’s won gold with his old friends in The United Empire, and now he’s about to face a dangerous man at Double or Nothing. Will Ospreay be more than ready for Samoa Joe after tonight? Or will he fail to even get past The Inevitable?
The bell rings and the fans cheer Ospreay as he stares down with Ace. Ospreay offers a handshake, Ace accepts, and the fans cheer the sportsmanship. They circle, tie up, and Ospreay wrenches to wristlock. Ace rolls, handsprings, and wrenches, but Ospreay rolls, kips up, and wrenches back. Ospreay hammerlocks, Ace rolls to kip up and wrench to then armlock. Ospreay endures the grind, fights around, and he arm-drags Ace down. Ace endures, fights around, and rises up. Ace shoots through to waistlock but Ospreay switches. Ospreay hits the headlock takeover, Ace headscissors, but Ospreay kips free.
The fans cheer the standoff, and the two reset. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and go shoulder to shoulder in a Test of Strength. The fans rally as Ace pushes Ospreay back.

Ospreay fires body shots, Ace puts him in the corner, but Ospreay BOOTS him away! Ospreay is on the apron, he springboards back in, PIP PIP CHEERIO! The fans fire up with Ospreay as he watches Ace rise up. Ospreay ducks a shot, atomic drops, then KNEES, ROUNDHOUSES, and STANDING SKY TWISTERS! Cover, TWO! Ace survives that quick string of moves, but Ospreay brings him back around. Ospreay wrenches, ELBOW BREAKERS, then KICKS the bad arm! And KICKS again! And again! But Ace blocks one to ROCK Ospreay! Ace whips, Ospreay handsprings, NEURALIZER KICK!
The fans fire up while Ace bails out! Ospreay has the fans shouting “OI! OI! OI!” as he takes aim. But Ace avoids the plancha! Ospreay blocks the kick, only for Ace to handstand out of the sweep! Ace avoids another sweep, but Ospreay avoids the kick! Ace avoids yet another sweep by going up and over the corner! Ace WRECKS Ospreay with a dropkick, then aims to PLANCHA after all! Down goes Ospreay and the fans fire up! Ace drags Ospreay up, but Ospreay puts him int he ring! Ace rewinds to headscissor, but Ospreay pops Ace up to SUPERKICK the arm out! Ospreay then climbs up, takes aim, and BLINDSIDE FOREARM!
The fans fire up as Ospreay springboards, OSCUTTER! Cover, TWO! Ace survives and Ospreay is stunned! Ospreay just shakes it off, goes to the corner, and takes aim. Ace slowly rises up, but he ducks the Hidden Blade to DOUBLE STOMP! Ospreay sputters, Ace falls back, and now Ace takes aim. Ace runs corner to corner to A-LIST LARIAT! Then he LARIATS again and again! Ace hoists Ospreay up top, then slips outside to ENZIGIRI! Ospreay wobbles, Ace gets space, and Ace runs up! FLIPPING RANA! The fans fire up as Ace is ready to deal the winning hand! But then Ospreay pops Ace up, and gets him in position! STYLES- NO, Ace pops free!
Ace trips Ospreay, steps through, ties up the legs, TRAILER HITCH BRIDGE! TWO!! Ospreay escapes, but Ace KNEES, KICKS, and fireman’s carries! Ace tucks Ospreay to then swing him out, AIR RAID FLATLINER! Cover, TWO!! Ospreay survives and Ace is beside himself! “This is Awesome!” as Ace stalks Ospreay to a corner. Ace ROCKS Ospreay again and again, then hoists Ospreay up top. But Ospreay fires shots in return! Ace ROCKS Ospreay, goes up, but Ospreay pushes on Ace’s arm! Then he HOTSHOTS the arm as he drops down, and he tucks Ace in! CHEEKY NAN- NO, Ace dodges! Ace RAMS low, springboards in and FLYING- LIGER BOMB!! Cover, TWO!!
The fans fire up as Ace survives again! Ospreay roars, the fans are with him, and he ROCKS Ace! Ace ROCKS Ospreay, and repeat! They go back and forth, then Ospreay KICKS! Ace fires another forearm, Ospreay kicks, then Ace CHOPS! They go back and forth again, but Ace CHOPS and ROKCS, until Ospreay fires Kawada Kicks! CHOP! Ace HEEL KICKS! Ace shakes out the bad arm, runs up, but Ospreay dodges to then ROLLING ELBOW! And HOOK KICK! Then the underhooks for the STORM- NO, Ace pops free, then goes to a corner. Ospreay runs up but Ace goes sideways! Ospreay hits buckles, Ace hits the FLYING CHUCK!
The fans fire up as Ace shuffles the deck, and runs up for the0 NO, Ospreay BACKDROPS Ace, but Ace lands on his feet! HIDDEN BLADE!! Ospreay isn’t done with just one, he aims from the corner and… Ace flops over! The fans boo but Ospreay shows no mercy. He just runs up to PENALTY KICK the bad arm! Then a FLYING ARMBAR TAKEDOWN!! Ace TAPS, Ospreay wins!!
Winner: Will Ospreay, by submission
That might’ve been Ospreay’s first win by submission ever! He signals that his neck is no longer a problem, and he shows Ace respect for that fight. Ace accepts the handshake again, and Ospreay is moving on towards Double or Nothing with a great amount of momentum. But wait! SAMOA JOE is here! He and The Opps walk out on stage, and with mic in hand, Joe says, “Ospreay, Ospreay… OSPREAY, OSPREAY!” Joe is clearly mocking the chants for Ospreay, and the fans give genuine chanting and even singing in return. Joe says he just wanted to make sure Ospreay was listening, because these past few weeks, it seemed like Ospreay had a hard time hearing him.
Despite Ospreay’s best efforts, fate has put them on a collision course in the opening round of the Owen Hart Cup. The fans like the sound of that! Joe say she is here for one reason and one reason alone. He wants to speak about choices and consequences. Ospreay could’ve made the right choice and get a bye in this tournament, because that is what Joe would do for one of his friends. But Ospreay chose poorly. He could’ve been with the team that would do nothing but support and enhance Ospreay, but he decided to be a lapdog for Moxley and the Death Riders. The fans boo, Ospreay says he’s not a Death Rider.
Joe says Ospreay has made his choice, and come Double or Nothing, Joe makes Ospreay suffer the consequences. But Joe leaves Ospreay in peace tonight, for he has his date with destiny. But unfortunately, Joe’s friends, Katsuyori Shibata & Anthony Bowens, still feel slighted, and he doesn’t put leashes on his friends. Shibata & Bowens storm down the ramp, Ospreay ready to fight them both if he has to. But then The Death Riders appear! Ospreay may not have officially joined the club, but the Death Riders aren’t going to let their investment go to waste! The Opps say they’re #NeverLacking, but that doesn’t seem to be the case now!
Shibata & Bowens back down while Moxley, Marina, Claudio, Yuta, Garcia & Pac all step up to support Ospreay. Joe says, “Soon. Soon.” The fans cheer the Death Riders, or at least Moxley, but Bowens promises Joe is gonna kill you, Ospreay! The dream match for Double or Nothing is on, but will the training with The Death Riders make Ospreay the new King of Harts?
BREAKING NEWS for next week!
If you liked last week’s THREE HOUR block of AEW, then you’ll love this next one! Portland, Maine, the last Wednesday before Double or Nothing, Dynamite & Collision are combining forces again! Three hours all on TBS and HBO Max, make sure your DVR is set accordingly!
Backstage interview with Don Callis & Konosuke Takeshita.
Renee is now with The Invisible Hand & The Alpha, saying tonight is a huge opportunity in the main event, Konosuke facing Darby Allin for THE AEW World Championship. Konosuke could be heading into Double or Nothing as a- Callis stops Renee there to say Konosuke will be heading into Double or Nothing as a DOUBLE champion! But then MJF steps in, apologizes for the interruption but says Renee’s doing a great job. The Scumbag tells Konosuke that while it’s been a minute since the two of them have talked, three years actually, back when MJF beat him… MJF has seen Konosuke develop into truly one of the best wrestlers in the world!
MJF believes that tonight, Konosuke beats Darby for the title, goes to DON to beat Okada, and MJF can’t think of a better match than Konosuke VS MJF Part 2 for the world title. How’s that sound? MJF offers a handshake, Konosuke shakes his hand, but in Japanese, Konosuke tells MJF that he’ll beat the crap out of him. Thankfully, MJF doesn’t know Japanese. Callis says that was a nice pep talk MJF just gave, and MJF says yes, he knows. That kid needs to win, okay? MJF can’t let Darby turn him into some disgusting, bald freak! No offense, Callis looks great. But look, there is only one foolproof way to know MJF won’t be put in that situation.
So if things get hairy… MJF hands over the Dynamite Diamond Ring! Callis smiles, and say she understands what to do with it. But then in steps Andrade. El Idolo takes off his hat to shake out his amazing head of hair, and smiles at MJF. MJF frowns and leaves. Callis says here’s the deal: Takeshita will bring the world title home to the Don Callis Family tonight! Andrade asks, “How you know?” Callis says aye dios mio, he seriously doesn’t know where Andrade learned English. Andrade says one way or another, the next time, that will be HIS title. Callis says yes, he knows, it’s all good. Callis is a man of many talents, but will his family be dripping with gold thanks to a diamond ring?
AEW now announces the Women’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament brackets!
Double or Nothing will see Willow Nightingale, the reigning Queen of Harts, take on Alex Windsor, while we will see Persephone VS Hazuki, Skye Blue vs Sareee, and Mina Shirakawa VS Athena! Champions from around the world are gathering for this tournament, but who will be headed to Forbidden Door, and then All In: London?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Renee Paquette is now with Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong, and Willow Nightingale. Renee commends Cassidy on his part in the 10 Man Tag victory. But it seems that there is even more business to attend to. Cassidy says yes, the team has a shot at THE AEW World Tag Team Championships. It doesn’t matter who it is, they’re getting their shot, but the thing is… They still haven’t decided on which two will be. Kyle says Cassidy & Roddy should go for the gold, but Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! Thank you.” Kyle says of course. But that’s cuz he’s got gold to chase for himself!
The same man that put Kyle on the shelf for months is the man that Kyle submitted twice, and will submit again. Jon Moxley, Continental Champion, when are we doing this? Willow says speaking of gold, she is still the TBS Champion. But she is also in the Owen Hart Cup. She won this tournament before, she’ll do it all over again, so that she can have all the gold for herself at All In: London. She knows she can, and she will! Then Conglomeration has it all in order? Cassidy says hold on, there’s something missing. They should do a Word of the Day. Why haven’t they done one in so long? Roddy shouts for “MAAARK~!” And yes, Mark Briscoe returns!
The Sussex County Chicken is all fired up, and he says the Word of the day is reunification! For Mark Briscoe is back with his boys and his girls, The Conglomeration! But he’ll put this plain and simple: Tommaso Ciampa! Next Wednesday, Briscoe’s after your ass, son! You hear him? But before that, Saturday Night Collision is in HIS hometown, Salisbury, Maryland! That’s just 4.4 miles from where Briscoe originated on this earth! They’re gonna conglomerate and it’s gonna be a a hell of a time! Are you ready!? Willow and Kyle are fired up, Briscoe goes wild, and the team heads out. Cassidy admits, that was a lot of yelling.
But while The Conglomeration is ready to go Double or Nothing, will they soon have even more gold in the collection? Or are these high and lofty a little too much even for them?
Six Woman Tag: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds VS The Triangle of Madness!
With the news of both the AEW Women’s World Championship Fatal 4 Way for Double or Nothing, and the Owen Hart Cup brackets, this trios match is about much more than just settling scores! Will the Shining Samurai be just as sharp as Jamie Hayter going into that title match? Or will Thekla, Skye Blue & Julia Hart continue to bring them down by any means necessary?
The trios sort out and Jamie steps up against Thekla as both a rematch from their 1v1 title match, and a preview of what’s to come in the next. They circle, but then Skye CLOBBERS Jamie! Julia steps in, but so do Shida and Windsor! The Triangle throws hands on Shida & The Birds, then triple whip. But all three reverse, a BOOT for Thekla, a DDT for Skye, and a BACKBREAKER for Julia! The fans cheer as The Triangle bails out! Shida goes out to keep after Skye while Windsor goes after Julia. Jamie gets Thekla back in the ring while Shida and Windsor have the Sisters of Sin in the corners of the barriers. The fans cheer as they all rain down fists!
Windsor, Jamie & Shida all go to nine, then wind up for TEN! The fans cheer again while Thekla sputters. Jamie snap suplexes, but Skye ROCKS Shida! Jamie stomps Thekla, Windsor SLAMS Julia off barriers, and Jamie stomps a mudhole in the corner. The ref counts, Jamie lets off, but Skye and Windsor meet while tightrope walking the barriers! Skye and Windsor trade shots, they wobble a bit, then Skye DECKS Windsor! Skye keeps from falling into the crowd, but Jamie gets her! Windsor joins in and the Birds double gorilla press, SNAKE EYES off the apron! The fans fire up, but Thekla is up top! SUPER CROSSBODY onto The Birds!
The fans fire up again and Thekla is feeling it while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Thekla stomps Windsor, CLUBS Jamie, then helps Skye. But Shida runs up, only for Thekla to ELBOW her down! The Triangle has control again, they ROCK Jamie and Shida and Windsor, then send them all to the desk. The Triangle CHOP again and again and again! Then they wind up, but feint chops to SMACK all three off the apron! The Triangle soaks up the cheers and jeers before putting Jamie back in the ring. Thekla brings Jamie up, snapmares her down, then basement SUPERKICKS! Cocky cover, TWO! Thekla drags Jamie to the corner, tags Julia, and Julia runs up to LARIAT! Then she goes side to side to ELBOW Jamie down!
Julia snapmares Jamie to a cover, TWO! Julia is annoyed but she rains down fists. The ref reprimands, Julia stops, but then she sucker punches Windsor! And Shida, too! Julia then drags Jamie over, bumps her off buckles, and tags in Skye. Skye stomps Jamie around, then digs her boot in! The ref counts, Skye stops at 4, then she brings Jamie up. Jamie fires forearms and CHOPS, but Skye THROWS Jamie down by her hair! The ref reprimands again but Skye rains down forearms. Skye snapmares Jamie, mule kicks her, then covers, TWO! Skye frowns but she stomps Jamie down. Skye tags Julia while Dynamite returns to single picture.
Skye whips Jamie into Julia’s grasp, and Skye BLASTS Shida & Windsor while Julia tags Thekla. Julia has Jamie in the TARANTULA, and Skye sends Windsor in for Thekla’s HANGING HEADSCISSORS! Skye runs up to DOUBLE SHOTGUN The Birds! The fans are torn but Thekla says that’s how the Triangle does it, baby! Thekla then aims to MISSILE- NO, Jamie gest under! Thekla lands out, but Jamie BOOTS her down! Jamie looks at Shida, Shida is hesitant, but Shida tags in! The fans cheer as Shida sends Theknla to the corner, then JUMP KNEES! Shida keeps moving, she BLASTS Skye! Julia ROCKS Shida back!
Julia storms in but Shida kicks her and whips her into Thekla! Shida KNEES them both in the corner! Then Shida puts Thekla sideways in the corner, reels Julia in, and she snap suplexes Julia into Thekla! The fans fire up as Shida then suplexes Thekla high and hard! Cover, TWO! Shida stands Thekla up, Thekla swings but Shida ROCKS her first! And ROCKS her again! Thekla wobbles, swings, but Shida catches Thekla for another forearm! Shida runs the ropes but Thekla mule kicks! Thekla SMACKS Shida, then she dodges a boot to DECK Shida! Thekla talks trash on Shida, then drags her up to tag in Julia.
Julia tags Skye, then tag back to Thekla. The Sisters of Sin hit the DOUBLE GOURD BUSTER and DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Thekla hits the bridge, and she aims for the SPIDER SPEAR! Cover, but The Birds CLOBBER The Sisters of Sin onto it! The fans fire up a Windsor DECKS Skye and Jamie HEADBUTTS Julia! The Birds drag Shida to safety, Windsor tags in, and she CLOBBERS Thekla! Windsor CLUBS away, then fires the fans up. Jamie steps in, BOOT RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP COMBO! Basement LARIAT! And then Windsor lifts! Jamie runs up, but Skye trips Jamie! The fans boo but Skye sends Jamie into steel steps!
Thekla sends Windsor into buckles! Tag to Julia before Shida runs up, TAMASHII KNEE on Thekla! Skye SUPERKICKS Shida! Jamie is back to clinch and HAYTBREAKER! Julia runs up, slips around, SOLE FOOD! Julia kips up, but Windsor is there to whip Julia to ropes! Skye tags in before the SPINEBUSTER! Skye SUPERKICKS Windsor, then brings her up! Skye hops on, CODE- NO, Windsor pops free! Skye SUPERKICKS again, but Windsor HEADBUTTS! The fans fire up as Jamie joins in again, and they DOUBLE LARIAT SANDWICH! Then they set Skye up, and Jamie says let’s try this again!
Jamie runs the ropes, but Thekla slides in, BELT SHOT on Jamie!! No question that the ref saw that! The Triangle is disqualified!
Winners: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds, by disqualification
The Toxic Spider doesn’t care about this win, she just wants to do damage! Skye gets Windsor in a DRAGON SLEEPER! The ref stops Thekla from sing the title belt again, so Thekla just takes off her own belt! And she LASHES Windsor while Skye holds her down! More refs rush out here, but Julia MISTS the newbie in the face! Julia stomps away on Jamie, not caring about fines or consequences, either! The fans boo, and Shida is bailing on the Birds? Shida cares more about her chances in that Fatal 4 Way than anything else. But then Willow, Mina, and even Thunder Rosa rush out here! They chase The Triangle off with belts of their own!
The fans cheer as The Babe, the Fighting Gravure Idol & La Mera Mera save the day. But will Jamie make sure Thekla and Shida pay for this at Double or Nothing?
AEW World Championship: Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita!
They say “card subject to change,” and that is true even for the best in the world. Kazuchika Okada’s real family takes priority, but his Don Callis Family brother was more than happy to step up for this opportunity. Will The Alpha already have two belts by the time he and The Rainmaker battle over the International Championship? Or will Darby truly be relentless in his pursuit of being the best fighting champion in AEW history?
The introductions are made, THE belt is raised, and we see who goes to Double or Nothing on top!
Callis joins commentary to say that while Darby’s been breaking his own body, Konosuke has perfected “rejuvenation training,” aka relaxing on a beach and sipping sake! The bell rings, and Darby SHOTGUNS Konosuke out! Then Darby DIVES, but Konosuke catches him! Konosuke POSTS Darby, then THROWS him into railing! Konosuke THROWS Darby into the ring, the fans fire up for both guys, and Konosuke hurries to BOOT Darby off the apron! Darby falls in front of commentary but Konosuke gets him right back in the ring. Cover, ONE!! The fans rally as Darby shows his grit, but Konosuke snarls.
Konosuke drags Darby up, Darby fires forearms, but the ALPHA ELBOW knocks Darby down! The fans fire up while Konosuke looms over Darby. Konosuke stands Darby up, and THROWS him into a corner! Darby bounces off the buckles and is bleeding from the mouth already! Konosuke stands Darby up, hoists him up top, then he climbs up after him. But Darby BITES Konosuke, CLUBS him down, and leaps for a CROSSBODY, but he bounces off Konosuke! The fans fire up again as Konosuke whips Darby for a BACKDROP! Darby got serious hangtime there, and he flounders out of the ring. Darby coughs and sputters but the fans rally up.
Konosuke goes out after Darby but Darby SMACKS him! Konosuke KNEES low, KNEES him again and again and again! Konosuke KNEES Darby against the barriers, then refreshes the count. Konosuke whips Darby hard into railing! Darby sputters as he leans against the railing, but Konosuke positions the steel steps. Konosuke then fetches Darby, lines up a shot, but Darby fights the suplex! Darby CLAWS Konosuke’s back, then fires a shot. Konosuke DECKS Darby in return! Darby slumps against the steps, Konosuke runs up, but Darby dodges! Konosuke’s knees hit the steps and he tumbles over! Darby then runs up the steps to SHOTGUN Konosuke down!
The fans fire up while both men are down on the floor! Konosuke checks his knee before he crawls around, and Darby gets in the ring so he can build speed! Darby DIVES! Direct hit on Konosuke but Darby’s the one who hits the desk! The fans fire up while both men are down again, but Darby rises up to get Konosuke on the apron! Darby fires forearms, then goes up a corner! COFFIN- NO, Konosuke catches him for a SUPER BLUE THUNDER BOMB to the floor!! The fans go nuts again and Callis says that’s the end of Darby Allin, but Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref hurries to check Darby but Callis tells Doc Sampson to call it. Darby is somehow still in this, so Konosuke storms his way over. Konosuke drags Darby up, puts him in the ring, then paces around him. Konosuke runs the ropes to LARIAT! Darby flips inside-out, Konosuke covers him, TWO!! Darby still has fight inside but he’s also dazed. Konosuke clamps onto Darby with a chinlock and squeezes tight. Darby endures, even as Konosuke leans on him with his much-taller frame. Darby reaches out, fights around, and rises up, only for Konosuke to CANADIAN RACK BOMB! Darby sputters all over again while Dynamite returns to single picture.
Konosuke sits back as he watches Darby crawl to the apron. Konosuke storms his way over, but Darby RAMS low! Slingshot sunset flip, but Konosuke rolls through! Only for Darby to kick the legs out! Darby catches Konosuke to a GUILLOTINE! Konosuke endures the squeeze, fights up to his feet, and he powers out to THROW Darby! Darby lands out, fires shots, and RAMS low! Darby then hops on, but Konosuke stops Code Red! Konosuke swings Darby around, tucks him in, BASTARD DRIVER! And WHEELBARROW GERMAN! The fans fire up and Callis says that’s true power! Darby sputters again and Konosuke vows to end this.
Konosuke runs corner to corner, HELLUVA KICK!! Then he hoists Darby up top, climbs up after him, and goes to the very top! The fans freak out already for the SUPER DUPER GERMAN SUPLEX!! Bridging cover, TWO!!! Callis is freaking out as much as the fans, and he protests the count! Konosuke is furious, but he aims for the WAGAMAMA KNEE!!! Cover, TWO?!?! Darby survives by nanoseconds, and Konosuke is beside himself! “This is Awesome!” but now CLØN rushes out here! He distracts the ref, and Callis hurries to take the Dynamite Diamond Ring off his finger to put it in Konosuke’s hands! Konosuke thinks about it, but The Alpha has honor!
The fans cheer as Konosuke wants to do this his way! But then Darby runs up, cradles, TWO!! Konosuke escapes, ALPHA ELBOW!! Darby is down, dazed, but still moving! Konosuke drags Darby up again, goes back to the corner and back to the top rope. The fans hope these two “FIGHT FOREVER!” but it has to end somehow! Darby fights against the lift with headlock punches! Then he hops on, SUPER CODE RED!! Konosuke staggers up, Darby leg scissors, steps through, LAST SUPPER!! TWO?!?! Konosuke escapes again, then bails out! So Darby just goes up top! SUPER COFFIN DROP!! Direct hit and both men are down again!
The fans are thunderous as Konosuke and Darby stir. A ring count climbs, Callis complains that some people just gotta follow directions and run the play! Coach Callis pulled Konosuke outta obscurity, Konosuke would do anything! Now he’s got some gold, some fame, and gets a mind of his own! Callis complaining aside, the ring count is climbing! Darby drags himself in at 9, but Konosuke YANKS him back out! That refreshes the count, and Konosuke vows to end this for real now. Konosuke points to the steel steps, and he drags Darby up onto them with a deadlift RAGING- NO, Darby knees Konosuke, turns things around, and FULL METAL SCORPION DEATH DROP!!!
The fans go nuts again while Konosuke writhes! Konosuke flops off the steps, Darby crawls into the ring, and Darby just climbs the corner again! SUPER DUPER COFFIN DROP!!! Konosuke might be unconscious! Darby still hauls Konosuke into the ring, pushes him to a cover, TWO?!?!? Konosuke survives and Darby is furious! But Darby just reloads, COFFIN DROP but onto knees!!! Ghost pin, TWO!!! Darby escapes but the WAGAMAMA KNEE finds him!! Konosuke hauls Darby up, but Darby pops free! Trip, step through, and SCORPION DEATH LOCK!!! Konosuke endures, reaches out, but Darby sits deep!!
Callis says don’t even think about it! Konosuke almost does, but he bites his own thumb to ignore the pain in his back! Konosuke reaches out, crawls his way forward, and he fights to the ROPEBREAK!!! But Darby is right up top! COFFION DROP on the back!! Then Darby goes right back up, COFFIN DROP again!!! Cover, DARBY WINS!!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
Callis is steaming, but Darby overcomes Konosuke to avenge that loss in the Continental Classic! But it also took so much out of him just to do it! Darby still asks for a mic and one is brought to him. Darby sits up against the ropes, has them cut his music, and he tells MJF to get his ass out here! There’s a contract MJF needs to sign! The ring crew hurries to bring in a table and some chairs for that very contract signing, and MJF makes his entrance. MJF reluctantly makes his way down the ramp, and both men meet at the table. Darby grins with blood still in hiss teeth, and he signs his part of the contract without hesitation, unlike MJF.
The fans already chant “BALD! BALD! BALD!” at MJF, and Darby pushes the contract to his side of the table. MJF grabs the pen, reaches out, but then steps away. MJF scratches his chin as he thinks on this, and the fans just chant, “BALD! BALD! BALD!” again. MJF takes a mic to say he’ll explain something to Darby, looking like he has rabies. But see, MJF is happy for Darby, he hopes Darby’s had fun holding MJF’s AEW World Championship. The fans boo that, but MJF says deep down, there is a small part of him, like the size of a North Carolinian p*nis small. That small part of MJF feels bad for Darby, because he’ll never hold this again!
Darby’s got about a good a chance of holding this title as Hangman Adam Page does again. MJF says guys like Darby are a dime a dozen, here today and gone tomorrow, stuntmen who burn the candle at both ends. In this life, people like all these fans here like to pretend that life is about making friends and family and children. The only thing that matters in life is your legacy. And Darby’s legacy will be that of the kid who had his 15 minutes of fame. They’ll pretend like Darby made a lasting impact, but the fact of the matter is, he hasn’t. He hasn’t! They’ll know deep down that Darby Allin was just a little pr*ck who got lucky.
They’ll know that Darby was too reckless and stupid to stay on top. And after May 24th, Double or Nothing, in that sh*thole of Queens, New York, y’know what MJF’s legacy will be? He’ll go down as the guy who became a THREE-TIME World Champion at just 30 years of age, unprecedented in this sport. And MJF will go down, when it’s all said and done, as the Greatest of All Time! THAT is the difference between them! Darby Allin brags about climbing a mountaintop. But when it comes to professional wrestling, Maxwell Jacob Friedman IS the mountaintop! The fans boo but MJF soaks it up. Darby tells MJF to SHUT UP!
Only someone like MJF who is so vain would think that the number one most important thing in this world is his legacy. Darby doesn’t care about legacy, he cares about living in the moment! And in this moment, Darby just wants MJF to sign the contract. Then at Double or Nothing, Darby makes Maxwell Jacob Friedman a BALLD HEADED B*TCH!! MJF frowns but the fans cheer that! MJF grabs the pen again, and with no choice, he signs on the dotted line! Then he TACKLES Darby! The fans boo as MJF beats up Darby after the war he went through with Konosuke! MJF CHUCKS an armchair outta the ring, FLIPS the table, then picks up his Dynamite Diamond Ring.
MJF puts the ring on his finger like always, then winds up to DECK Darby!! The fans boo but MJF just soaks it all up. MJF throws off his jacket, picks up the belt, and he stands over Darby with it. But then MJF isn’t done with Darby, he puts Darby on the top rope! MJF climbs up to join him, and drags Darby into position! But wait! Kevin Knight runs out here to chase MJF off! The Jet still owes The Scumbag a receipt, but it seems we’ll all have to wait on that. Will MJF still take back the title at Double or Nothing? Or will Darby keep the belt and take MJF’s dignity?
