Backstage interview with Swerve & Prince Nana.
Tony Schiavone is with “a very angry” Swerve. It was a tremendous match, but Moxley moves on. Swerve says they don’t give him time to rest, they don’t give him time to gather his thoughts. He has to do this while all sweaty and his arm’s falling off his body right now, because of those two men! Swerve wanted that win so badly. Schiavone knows, Nana knows, the fans, the company, knows how bad. Swerve said the Continental Classic was injecting life back into pro-wrestling, the entire industry, and he meant that! And he swears to God, he wanted to win SO badly. He proved he’s one of the best, if not THE best.
But he didn’t get pinned. White got pinned. In fact, let’s go over to someone on Collision that says something about tearing down houses brick by brick. KEITH LEE!! You say Swerve is “him?” Then that’s the first thing they’ve agreed on in over a year. Keith wants Swerve, so guess what? Swerve’s got nothing to do now, he’s free for Saturday in Long Island, so bet! Swerve will be there. Will Keith be? HUH? Yes, Keith is here tonight, and he wanted to be sure that in case they didn’t see each other, here’s a contract for that match. Nana didn’t approve this! Why would someone print this without Nana’s approval? Well, this is FOR his approval.
Swerve tells Nana it’s fine. We’ll se who shows up on Saturday. Nana & Swerve take the contract, will The Realest #BaskInHisGlory at Worlds End?
Renee Paquette is on stage.
Joining her now is a woman who has generated so much buzz since arriving to AEW, it’s Mariah May. Toni Storm’s biggest fan walks out to join Renee, and Renee says Mariah has an important announcement. But first, let’s go back to last week, when Mariah brutally attacked Riho. Can she walk us through her actions? Well, hi, Renee, how are you? Mariah’s good, thanks for asking. But what you call “brutal” is her supporting the greatest star of our time, Toni Storm! Fans cheer that. Mariah says that is something we could all do more of. But moving on, we’ve all waited so patiently for Mariah’s in-ring debut, and she’s here to tell us when it happens.
Mariah didn’t really feel like 2023 had the best energy. Not enough glamor. So her debut is gonna be… Next week, the first Dynamite of 2024! Fans boo but Mariah says 2024 will be all about Mariah! But oh hey, it’s Riho! Riho storms up on Mariah and Mariah goes running! They end up in the ring, and Mariah begs for mercy. But here comes Toni Storm! Riho dodges Storm’s cheap shot to fire off forearms! Storm shoves Riho, runs up, but into a drop toehold! Riho dials it up, Luther hurries to get Storm outta there! So Riho just climbs up, and CROSSBODIES them both down! Fans fire up, Mariah panics, but will there be a NEW leading lady in AEW?
Top Flight speaks.
Dante Martin is with his brother, Darius, and their friend, Action Andretti. Dante says they just wanted us to know, though these three came up short against The Acclaimed, they won’t take it to heart. There are plenty of other trios to go against. Ya bois heads are up, and they’re just getting started. This is an open challenge- Okay, alright. Orange Cassidy sees where this is going. He walks in and has Roppongi Vice, Rocky Romero & Trent Beretta, with him. Trent says these three were throwing out a challenge while Best Friends was five feet away. Clever move. So see you guys on Rampage. What? Rocky says this is what happened with him last week. But see you Friday.
Well then, Friday, Rampage, challenge accepted. Action then speed chugs a bottle of water. Well, he’s hydrated. But will the full Top Flight trio be ready to do, uh, whatever with Freshly Squeezed, Azucar & #JustTrent?
Christian Cage, Nick Wayne & Shayna Wayne are backstage.
Captain Charisma and his adopted family are with Lexi Nair, preparing for the sit-down face-to-face interview with Adam “Edge” Copeland. Christian asks who Lexi even is, then asks if Edge is even showing up. Or is he just gonna keep the champion waiting? At least one of them is professional. Lexi doesn’t have any answers, so we’re all just waiting. What will these former friends turned bitter enemies have to say just days before their No Disqualification rematch for the TNT Championship?
Miro speaks.
“What am I doing? I’m not even sure anymore. I thought wrestling poisons her, but maybe it’s she that poisons me.” He made his promise to spare Andrade El Idolo from his wrath for CJ Perry’s sake, but only so long as Andrade was in the running for the Continental Triple Crown. Andrade is out, and Miro is done showing mercy to those who doesn’t deserve it! Miro may not pray to God, but he advises Andrade to start. The Redeemer and the Latino Idol clash at Worlds End, who survives this clash?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He hopes everyone has had a great holiday season and is getting ready for both the New Year and for Worlds End this Saturday. Tonight, we are holding a celebration for “Boxing Week.” For that celebration, please welcome… The Don Callis Family. Fans boo as creepy Callis has Will Hobbs, Konosuke Takeshita and the NEW ROH World Television Champion, Kyle Fletcher, with him. They go to the ring, the fans tell off Callis, and Callis is rather offended. Schiavone is sure we all understand the sentiment, but then Callis snatches the mic right from him! Fans boo but Callis has something important to say.
“As you may or may not know, there’s been a lot of stuff going on outside the wrestling business the last couple of weeks, family stuff. And I just wanna say it’s been a very difficult two weeks for me.” Fans boo, is he trying to get sympathy for what Kenny Omega is going through? Callis knows that his guys know, at times like this, you need your family. And he couldn’t have gotten through this without his family. And as a way of saying thanks and honoring Canada’s Boxing Week, Callis got them some wonderful gifts to show them his appreciation.
For Powerhouse Hobbs, check it! It’s an oil painting of Hobbs and Callis reppin’ the West Side! Callis says that looks just like them on the weekend. Maybe if Callis put his head on someone else’s body. Then for Takeshita, he has given Callis great support, this is for him. Their picture is of them with dragon tattoos on their arms and Takeshita wielding a katana like they’re both Yakuza. And then for Kyle, this is Kyle & Callis go to Australia. They’re boxing against kangaroos, and winning! It feels so good to be here tonight, because the Don Callis Family feels complete! But wait! SAMMY GUEVAR is here!
Fans actually cheer, and Callis apparently forgot about the Spanish God. Sammy makes his way down to the ring, and Callis says it’s Christmas all over again! But then Sammy stops Callis? Fans rally for Sammy as he takes the mic to say, “Long time no talk, Don.” What? What’s he talking about? Didn’t he get the gift Callis sent for Sammy’s kid? Maybe the Canadian postal system isn’t reliable. But Sammy, it’s good you’re here. Callis has a gift for Sammy, not that he knew he’d be here. Callis was holding onto this for almost two months in the off-chance Sammy would actually show up to work.
So please, here, a custom painting just for Sammy. Look, look! Sammy is unsure about this, but he unveils… Sammy, the baby, and the Don Callis Family all together. See? They’ve got an extended family now! But who the hell told Callis to put Sammy’s baby on that? N-no one, but c’mon! Look! Sammy’s whole family is there together! And let’s be honest, Sammy isn’t exactly mentally capable of being a father so he’ll need all the help he can get. Oh, Callis is worried about Sammy’s parenting skills? Be more worried about leading the group! Hobbs beat Jericho, Takeshita beat Omega twice, but no one remembers that because Callis makes everything about himself!
Fans cheer that! Sammy says people he’d never expect to, asking him how he’s doing since getting concussed. But who has never sent Sammy a message? CALLIS! Callis says okay, sorry, he just gave Sammy a nice present but if Sammy wants to crap all over him, fine. Here it is: Sammy is disappointed Callis didn’t call? How about Callis’ disappointment? Callis is disappointed that Sammy blew the greatest opportunity he ever had! Callis is disappointed that Sammy didn’t show up for FIVE MONTHS just for being hurt and having babies, going on maternity leave!
So to get to brass tacks, Sammy has a choice to make. Sammy can choose that other family, or he chooses The Don Callis Family. But Sammy, you may be a hot head, but think about this. Think carefully. If Sammy chooses wrong, he will be remembered as just as big of a failure as a wrestler, as he’s about to be as a dad. Sammy SHOVES Callis! So Hobbs CLUBS Sammy! Hobbs, Takeshita & Fletcher stomp away on Sammy! Callis hobbles out of the way, but here comes JERICHO! The Wizard rushes out here with Floyd the Baseball Bat! And Jericho fires off on Hobbs and Takeshita while defending Sammy!
Fans fire up as Jericho SMACKS the paintings one by one! Then he gives Floyd to Sammy, and Sammy SMASHES that last one! The fans are thunderous and they want these two to “HUG IT OUT! HUG IT OUT!” The Don Callis Family retreats as Jericho and Sammy… HUG!! Jericho never gave up on Sammy, and now it seems Le Sex Gods are reunited! But then RICKY STARKS & BIG BILL ATTACK! The Absolute AEW World Tag Team Champions aren’t about to let Sammy step in for Kenny! Fans boo but Bill beats down on Jericho and Ricky stomps away on Sammy! Bill digs his boots in, Starks does the same, then they let off.
Starks uses one of the stands to CHOKE Sammy! Bill stomps Jericho, digs his boots in again, but then the lights go out!? And when they come back up, IT’S STIIIIIING! And Darby, too! They’ve got beef with Starks & Bill, so Sting CRACKS Bill with his bat while Darby SHOTGUNS Starks! The tides turn as Jericho and Sting use their bats on Bill to go yard! Starks scrambles away, Bill flops out of the ring, and now Le Sex Gods and Relentless Icons are face to face. The fans are losing their minds, but what does this mean for the AEW World Tag Team Championship opportunity Jericho won back at Full Gear?
Backstage interview with Roderick Strong.
Renee is with the Savior of the Backbreaker as he asked for this time. And she’s nervous to even ask why. “RENEEEE~!” Roddy is so thankful for this time. He and The Kingdom have been working on something the past five days, and he cannot wait to share! The Kingdom take the veil away to reveal Roddy’s “MJF is the Devil” conspiracy board! Looks like that meme from Always Sunny… Roddy points that Hangman: NOT Devil. Shawn Dean: NOT Devil. Swerve and his bad teeth: NOT Devil at all. BUT all roads lead back to MAX IS THE DEVIL!
Roddy tells Max to listen and listen good. Roddy is gonna prove MJF is the Devil! Be it tonight, tomorrow, it doesn’t matter! MJF will eventually be exposed, because MAX IS THE DEVIL!! Roddy, Taven & Bennett are obsessed to say the least, but are they a lot closer to the truth than we realize?
AEW Continental Classic Blue League Semifinals: Bryan Danielson VS Eddie Kingston!
With Jon Moxley already set for Worlds End, he will end up facing either a man who is his friend, or a man who was his friend. But that is Saturday. Right here tonight, these two men are looking to not just turn it up from their previous showdown, but they’re looking to tear the other man to shreds! Will the American Dragon prove the Mad King is just a bum? Or will his arrogance be his undoing against a determined and desperate Eddie Kingston?
The bell rings and the fans are already fired up for Eddie. He and Bryan feel things out, Bryan staying by ropes. Bryan uses those as defense to back Eddie off and fans boo. Eddie stays cool as he and Bryan circle. They feel things out again, test the waters with jabs and kicks, but neither man falls. Bryan plays around a bit, Eddie throws hands but Bryan stays back. They block kicks with kicks, but then Bryan uses ropes again. Fans boo, Eddie smirks, and the two reset again. They feel things out, Bryan fires some shots, but Eddie firs back. The fans still cheer Eddie on, and Bryan goes to ropes again. Eddie is annoyed but Bryan smirks.
Eddie tells Bryan to do something already, and they feel things out. Bryan KICKS, headlocks, but Eddie SAIDOS right out of it! Bryan bails out but Eddie DIVES! Direct hit but both men hit railing hard! Eddie checks his own head as he gets back up. Eddie shakes out the stars, then CHOPS Bryan! Bryan hobbles away, Eddie storms up to CHOP again! And again! And again! And again! Fans fire up, the ref tells Eddie to get this in the ring, but Eddie whips Bryan into railing instead! Then CHOPS him again! And again! And again! Bryan falls over, Eddie brings him back up, and Eddie whips again, only for Bryan to reverse!
Eddie hits railing, but comes right back to CHOP again! Eddie snarls, he puts Bryan back in the ring, then storms up on Bryan in a corner. Eddie JABS, CHOPS, repeat, but then Bryan claws Eddie’s eyes! The ref reprimands, counts, but Bryan lets off at 4. Bryan CHOPS and KICKS on repeat! Bryan whips corner to corner, but Eddie comes back to DOUBLE CHOP! Fans fire up while Bryan bails out to the apron. Eddie goes out after Bryan, drags him up, and half nelsons! Bryan holds ropes for dear life, so Eddie HEADBUTTS Bryan from behind! Bryan mule kicks a leg! APRON DDT! Eddie staggers to his feet but Bryan FLYING KNEES him down!
Bryan says “HE’S! A! BUM!” and soaks up the heat while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Bryan looms over Eddie, drags him up, and digs his fingers into Eddie’s forehead. Bryan CHOPS Eddie, Eddie shoves back, so Bryan CHOPS again! Bryan puts Eddie in the ring, paces as Eddie sits up, and then Bryan clamps onto a shoulder! Eddie endures, so Bryan ELBOWS him down, then drops a knee! Cover, ONE!! Eddie goes to ropes but Bryan keeps his cool. Bryan stalks up on Eddie, KICKS him, and KICKS him, then KICKS him again! Eddie snarls as he stands up but Eddie KICKS him down! Bryan taunts Eddie, drags him from ropes, and turns him over to hook up the legs. Bryan stands on the legs while he soaks up the heat!
Bryan says Eddie is a BUM, repeats it as a chant, “HE’S A BUM!” but Eddie reaches for ropes. Bryan STOMPS the legs! Bryan then rains down fists! The ref reprimands but Bryan throws down more shots. Bryan lets off just so he can chant “HE’S A BUM! HE’S A BUM!” Dynamite returns to single picture as Eddie sits up, and Bryan CHOPS! And KICKS! And repeat! Eddie roars as he rises, to CHOP, CHOP and CHIOP! Bryan grabs an arm, wrangles Eddie down, and has the omoplata! Eddie scrambles around, ROPEBREAK! The fans cheer, the ref counts, Bryan lets off at 4. Bryan reminds us, he has ’til 5!
Bryan taunts Eddie, eggs him on, then scuffs him. Eddie scowls, even as Bryan scuffs him again. And again. Bryan KICKS! And KICKS! Eddie falls over as the fans duel now, “HE’S A BUM!” “NO, HE’S NOT!” Bryan rubs that in, kicks Eddie around, then runs, but into a clinch! EXPLODER! The fans are thunderous and Eddie rises! Eddie aims, Bryan stands, but Bryan blocks the Uraken! So Eddie makes it a DDT! Both men are down, the fans rally up for Eddie, and Bryan goes to a corner. Eddie peels off finger and wrist tape, then runs up to clothesline! MACHINE GUN CHOPS!! The fans fire up as Eddie CHOPS Bryan down!
Eddie stands Bryan up to reload and CHOP some more! Bryan fires up, he SPITS at Eddie, so Eddie CHOPS, CHOPS and CHOPS! Bryan sits down, Eddie still CHOPS, then he stands on Bryan’s head!

Eddie goes to ropes, huffs and puffs, and CHOPS Bryan again! Bryan seethes, and comes back to to CHOP! Eddie CHOPS, Bryan CHOPS, and Eddie is stinging. Eddie CHOPS Bryan, and now Bryan takes a moment to catch his breath. Fans rally up, Eddie brings down the straps, and Eddie eggs Bryan on!
The fans fire up as Bryan comes back, and he SPITS at Eddie! Eddie chuckles, Dynamite returns to single picture, and Eddie CHOSP! Bryan CHOPS, Eddie CHOPS, repeat! Neither man is backing down this time as the CHOPS keep flying! Bryan stings from that last one, though! But he shakes his head, to kick the leg! Then CHOP! Then kick! Then CHOP! Repeat!

And now, Eddie fights to not just keep his ROH World Championship and NJPW Strong Openweight Championship, but to become the INAUGURAL AEW Continental Champion! But wait, here comes Moxley. Moxley first checks on Bryan, then he stares down Eddie. Moxley gets a mic while fans chant for Eddie, and Eddie tells Moxley to speak his mind. Moxley says all he’s ever asked of Eddie, when he’s stuck his neck out for Eddie and put his reputation on the line because he believes in Eddie, all Moxley has ever wanted is 100% of Eddie’s best.
“And for a guy who’s angry at the whole world and thinks the whole world’s against him, you sure do got a lot of people that love you, man.” The fans cheer that! Moxley tells Eddie to listen. Everybody here in Orlando tonight loves Eddie Kingston. AEW fans all around the world love Eddie Kingston. Every single person on Worlds End in New York is gonna love Eddie Kingston. So it doesn’t matter if Eddie wins or loses, but everyone deserves the very best of everything Eddie has in his heart and his soul. They deserve his maximum effort. The fans start to applaud, but Moxley says the problem is, he knows Eddie better than Eddie knows himself.
Moxley knows Eddie can’t beat Moxley, and Eddie knows he can’t beat Moxley. So for Moxley’s money, Eddie’s already lost, already given up, and already making excuses. But that won’t fly this time. A couple years ago, Moxley gave Eddie the shot of a lifetime, then let him off the hook and go out on his shield and die a warrior’s death. Moxley didn’t have to, but he wanted Eddie to come back stronger because Moxley believed in Eddie. This time, Eddie is not getting one single favor. If Eddie wants to be a Triple Crown Champion like all his heroes, he is gonna have to EARN every inch. Eddie nods and fans cheer that.
Moxley wants to keep going but Eddie tells Moxley he’s talked enough. Eddie will tell Moxley something! Don’t come out here and treat him like his little b*tch, Yuta, cuz Eddie ain’t no Young Boy. “Remember something, dawg, I’m your senpai. I broke into this before you. You’re lucky I let you breathe. But I’m gonna tell you something. You’re right, dawg. You’re right. I’m one of the most down people. I hate myself more than I hate anybody else. But on Saturday, the King of the Bums is gonna push you. You told me one time when I wanted to quit AEW, you said, ‘You are not allowed to quit, because we need people like you around to shape the younger guys.'”
Fans cheer that, and Eddie continues, “So, is that what you want, Jon? I’m gonna give you everything I have. You better show your fighting spirit, cuz I’m gonna show you mine. And I’m gonna bust you up and enjoy it. That’s my out line, Topher.” The music hits, and the battle is set! Will the Maniac prove Eddie doesn’t measure up? Or will the Mad King soon be wearing a Triple Crown?
We return backstage to Lexi, Christian and his “family.”
Captain Charisma is losing patience. Edge is doing this to Christian, the Face of TNT? Really? A crew member says Edge is here, and Christian says good, get him in here! They’ve got stuff to do! The TNT Champion and the Rated R Superstar will be face to face one more time before Worlds End, after the break.
AEW returns as Lexi introduces Christian, Nick & Shayna. Christian interrupts to say you introduce them as Mother Wayne and “The Prodigy,” and they have been waiting all night just Edge to show up, so where- OH NO! Edge comes running in, Nick intercepts but gets TOSSED into a road case! Christian and Edge brawl, but Edge SMACKS Christian off the road case then throws him at a wall! Security runs in, Edge fights them off, then he gives chase! Edge throws Christian around the hallway, the AEW roster rushes in to stop this, but Edge and Christian get loose to throw hands! The roster gets Christian outta there, but Edge still pursues!
Things are chaotic going down the halls of the arena, but Top Flight and the Von Erichs get Edge away from Christian. Edge shouts that Christian is all his on Saturday! Christian says Edge is a coward for jumping him from behind! Who will be left standing after these two battle with nothing holding them back?
Kris Statlander VS Skye Blue!
Stokely Hathaway has joined commentary, having stirred things up between The Galaxy’s Greatest and Willow Nightingale. He claims that he just wants the AEW Women’s Division to thrive, but what is Stokely plotting? And Stokely aside, Kris battles a former friend in Skye, who has truly gone to the dark side.

Backstage interview with The Outcasts.
Renee is with Saraya & Ruby Soho and says that this Friday on Rampage, Ruby takes on “The Problem,” Marina Shafir. How does she feel taking on someone like Marina? Ruby starts to answer but Saraya interrupts, because she “can’t keep this in.” Saraya is so sorry about this, but Ruby’s birthday is next month, and Saraya’s been giving Ruby a lot of early gifts, so here’s one for Rampage. She got Ruby “a little helper!” It’s Harley Cameron! She’ll do anything. Seriously, anything. And she’s great with her hands. Yeah, Ruby’s heard. But see, just in case- Oh, a phone call? Is that Angelo Parker? Yeah, uh, tell him Saraya says hi.
Ruby heads out, Renee wants to know how this new partnership came about. Saraya says it’ll be easier to show you. Harley has a KNIFE?! No, no, the other thing, Harley. Oh, right, sorry. Saraya says they’ll show us next week. Saraya ushers Harley along, just what is happening within The Outcasts?

And speaking of that incident earlier tonight, the Ricky Starks & Big Bill will team up with the Don Callis Family’s Kyle Fletcher & Will Hobbs to take on Le Sex Gods & The Relentless Icons! Will Jericho, Guevara, Darby & Sting put all their enemies in their place?
ROH World Tag Team Championships: MJF & Samoa Joe VS The Devil’s Minions!
After the mind games, the questions and the doubts, Maxwell Jacob Friedman again teams up with his most dangerous challenger to fight for the greater good of their AEW World Championship match. Will #M-JOE-F make it to Saturday? Or will the ROH World Tag Team titles be the price for MJF’s sins?
The introductions are made, but uh, where’s Joe? Joe was supposed to have MJF’s back. OH NO, someone’s attacked Joe! He clutches his leg and grits his teeth, and he’s shouting for someone to warn MJF not to go out there! But MJF is so furious, he still wants to do this match! The fans fire up with MJF, but is this wise when MJF has no one by his side? The belts are still raised, and we see if the People’s Scumbag can pull off another handicap match miracle!
The bell rings, MJF throws his jacket at the big minion and stomps away! MJF stomps a mudhole in, the ref counts but fans fire up! MJF lets off to DECK the small(er) minion, then he TOSSES the first one into buckles! Fans fire up and MJF shakes out the bad arm. MJF wants to see who this is, and he goes for the mask! The big man fights away, tags in his partner, and that guy HOTSHOTS MJF! Fans boo but the second minion runs up. MJF TOSSES the guy up and out! Fans fire up with “HE’S OUR SCUMBAG!” and MJF goes out after the minion. MJF sends that guy into the steps, then POSTS him!
MJF stalks this guy, and he asks Orlando, “Who wants to see who this POS is, huh!?” The fans cheer, and MJF goes for the mask! The big guy distracts the ref, and a THIRD minion appears from under the ring! He CRACKS MJF with a steel pipe!! The second minion puts MJF back in while fans boo, and then tag to the big guy. That guy drags MJF up to steal the HEATSEEKER! They’re using MJF’s own move, and the ropes to cover! THE MINIONS WIN!!!
Winners: The Devil’s Minions (NEW ROH World Tag Team Champions)
A travesty for MJF to lose, and now the minions come outta the woodwork to stomp away on MJF! Fans boo, but Joe still storms out here!? He has a chair! Joe is on one good leg but his anger powers him to the ring! The minions run away, the mission complete. But just who the hell are these guys that now own the titles? Joe helps MJF to his feet, just as The Devil himself is on the tron. And a new message appears: “Pleasure doing business with you.” What? JOE SMACKS MJF!!! It was all a set-up!!! Joe SMACKS MJF again!! Joe made a deal with The Devil, and now he has Joe all to himself! “I did this to you!”
Joe puts MJF up, tucks him in, MUSCLE BUSTER!!! MJF is down and out and the fans boo! Joe holds up the AEW World Championship, the prize Joe wanted all along! Is this going to be how Worlds End ends?
My Thoughts:
A great go-home Dynamite here, and they actually pulled off a twist in that ROH World Tag title match I didn’t see coming. Now Joe stands tall going into the AEW World Championship match, so that surely means MJF finds a way to retain the title. I just hope the two guys under the masks that won the ROH World Tag titles are the actual guys Tony Khan wants to put those belts on. Otherwise this is gonna be very Vince not knowing who Retribution is gonna be so he just put different people in the costumes every week. And I would really hope it’s The Kingdom so that they can have those titles like they wanted.
Speaking of, great Pepe Silvia conspiracy board promo from Roddy & The Kingdom, and I appreciate they even threw Shawn Dean on there to reference beef with MJF during MJF’s feud with CM Punk. The Kingdom should be the two minions that won tonight, and then we just have to figure out who the other two are, and then Adam Cole can still be The Devil himself, hopefully to be revealed Saturday night. Or like I said before, this could be a collaboration so that it isn’t just Cole but multiple Devils, Jack Perry being the other.
Good promo from Top Flight to end up with a Trios match for Rampage. I feel like maybe Rocky or Trent takes the loss so that Top Flight can build back up after losing to The Acclaimed. The segment with Mariah, Storm and Riho was good but felt rather last minute and obligation just to put heat on the AEW Women’s World Championship match. Good promo from Saraya, Ruby and Harley, especially since now we know what Harley’s doing post-QTV. She seems to be dipping a bit into Harley Quinn territory with the whole knife thing, but maybe she’ll tone it down and find a nice middle ground between who she was on QTV and this “unhinged Harley” idea.
Really good match from Kris and Skye, with good Heel assist by Julia so Skye can win. But also good to have Willow make the save and Abadon make an appearance. Skye won so we can’t really say Julia stood tall, but I’m not sure of Abadon’s chances of winning. Good recycling of Miro’s promo now that we know we’re getting Miro VS Andrade, that match will be great stuff. Great Don Callis Family promo segment, with Callis of course giving us more of those weird portraits. I should’ve figured they’d go the Sammy Face return route, even if it’s a bit lazy. I guess with Paul Wight down and out, Sammy gets to be the new Big Show in how he turns Face and Heel so easily. The 8 Man Tag they set up will be fun but I was kinda hoping they’d just get right to the title shot.
I should’ve figured that when Edge “kept Christian waiting” on the face-to-face, it was just gonna turn into a brawl. It was a good brawl, but Edge standing tall doesn’t bode well for him winning the title match. However, that 20 Man Battle Royal, and the use of “a title match anytime, anywhere,” I really hope Luchasaurus makes a big return, wins that match, and then uses that MITB style fine print to take the title off Christian, finally standing up for himself and being his own man-dinosaur. And with the news of Hook VS Yuta for the FTW Championship happening at Worlds End: Zero Hour, I hope Hook retains so that then he and Yuta can have a match for the Pure title in return.
And of course, awesome stuff in the Continental Classic semifinals. Way too much space between the matches, though. Many of the promo segments tonight were between the Triple Threat that opened and Bryan VS Eddie that followed. And while the fans were all 100% behind Swerve winning, I figured it’d be Moxley so that we’d also finally get Swerve VS Keith. And Eddie is of course the right choice for Blue League’s winner. Eddie VS Moxley is going to be awesome stuff, just like that promo they had right after that match. I really hope it is Eddie winning, he’s been the one talking about showing up to the shows and putting in the work, so he’d get to be on ROH TV, NJPW Strong, and perhaps AEW Collision (since ROH is filmed same night), defending the Triple Crown on all three shows.

Jon Moxley survived another title defense thanks to Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta & Pac, but now they must defend their own titles.

Or will these high-fliers really cash in here tonight?

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

Hologram ducks under then hurdles over Mortos. Mortos leaps over, runs back up, ARABIAN PRESS and a roll! The fans fire up, Hologram dodges Mortos to then tilt-o-whirl and DEJA VU-

Komander runs to jump, spin, and wheelbarrow for the arm-drag! Komander fires up, the fans fire up, but Harley says she has to go now? Harley needs to call her friend.

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

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

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

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

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

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