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! The ref counts, Eddie lets off at 4, and the fans are loving this! Eddie hauls Bryan up, but Bryan drags him down to the omoplata! LEBELL LOCK!! Eddie endures as Bryan pulls back on the hold! Eddie fights around, reaches out, ROPEBREAK! The fans cheer, the ref counts, and Bryan lets off at 4. Bryan storms up on Eddie, kicks him in the side, then drags him from the ropes. Bryan wrenches the arm, ELBOW BREAKER! Then SNAP HALF HATCH!

Bryan soaks up the cheers and jeers as he climbs up a corner. Eddie stands and runs up to trip Bryan up! And he CHOPS again! Eddie CHOPS again, shakes out his hand, then CHOPS again! Eddie climbs up after Bryan, goes to the very top, but Bryan slips under to shove Eddie! Eddie lands on the crossbar, and Bryan brings him into the Tree of Woe! Bryan KICKS and KICKS and KICKS Eddie over and over, then Eddie flops out of the Tree! Bryan soaks up the heat, goes to the corner and runs back in, basement dropkick! Bryan hauls Eddie back up to the top rope, climbs up behind him, HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS on the top rope!

Bryan then lifts Eddie, for a SUPER BACK SUPLEX CROSSBODY COUNTER!! Bryan clutches his bad eye socket while a standing count starts, and Dynamite goes back to picture in picture.

The standing count is 5 of 10 while both men stir. Bryan crawls to the ropes by 7, and drags himself up. Eddie does the same, and they’re both up by 9! Bryan and Eddie stare down from across the way, and they storm up to each other. Bryan CHOPS! Eddie wobbles, but he CHOPS back! Bryan wobbles, but he CHOPS again! 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! Bryan has Eddie on his knees and he CHOPS again! And again! But Eddie rises to CHOP, CHOP and CHOP! Bryan drops to his knees now, and the fans are thunderous! Eddie CHOPS, CHOPS and CHOPS! Bryan starts falling back and Eddie just throws more CHOPS!

Fans fire up as Eddie winds up, but Bryan blocks! SHOUDLER CAPTURE SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!! Eddie is still in this, Bryan’s chest is ground beef, but the fans fire up as Bryan snarls.

Winner: Eddie Kingston, by pinfall (Blue League Finalist)

Eddie is NOT a bum! He is moving on to Worlds End! 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. Will Kris make sure the Skye is falling? Or will Skye have a strong finish to her 2023?

The bell rings and the two stare down. Fans rally up, the two tie up, and Kris powers Skye to a corner. The ref counts, Kris lets off and Skye runs up. They tie up again, Kris arm-drags Skye away, then arm-drags her again! Skye gets around, waistlocks, but Kris throws her away. Fans fire up as Kris flexes, but Skye get sup to pie face her. And then SLAP her! Kris whips Skye and runs her over! Fans cheer as Kris scoops and SLAMS Skye, then taunts her. Skye stagger sup, into an other scoop and SLAM! Fans cheer while Skye stands back up. Kris scoops again but Skye slips free! Skye shoves, follows, then tilt-o-whirls to RANA, but Kris handsprings through!

Skye soaks up the cheers, completely unaware, and she turns around into a SHOTGUN! Kris hurries to cover, TWO! Kris is annoyed but Skye goes to a corner. Kris runs up, Skye throws her into buckles! Skye stomps a mudhole into Kris, then lets off as the ref counts. Fans boo, Skye soaks up the heat, and she goes to suplex. Kris blocks that to suplex Skye, and hold her up! Fans fire up and Stokely says that’s beautiful right there. Kris then SLAMS Skye down! Fans fire up and Kris runs up at the ropes, but Skye drop toeholds her to ropes! Skye runs up, SHINING WIZARD! Skye runs up again, to BOOT Kris!

Skye goes to the apron, has Kris in the ropes and KNEES her down! Kris sits up but Skye is on her. Kris shoves Skye away, but Skye hits an APRON FACEBUSTER! Skye swaggers, then stomps Kris, as Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Skye SMACKS Kris off the apron, pushes her around, but Kris throws body shots in return. Kris CHOPS Skye, throws her into the ring, but Skye CLOBBERS Kris! Skye hammers away on Kris, puts her on ropes and CHOKES her! The ref reprimands, Skye lets off at 4, and Skye swaggers around. Skye puts Kris in a corner, CHOPS her, then stands Kris up. Skye puts some stank on the CHOP! Skye smirks and shakes her hand out, but Kris ROCKS Skye in return! Kris CLUBS Skye to a corner, whips corner to corner, but Skye reverses. Kris hits buckles hard, Skye pushes her to a cover, TWO! Skye is frustrated but she KICKS Kris in the back.

Skye storms around, drags Kris up and CLUBS her down! And again! And again! Skye then HIP DROPS Kris, wraps her up, and has a straitjacket stretch! Kris endures being bent back against Skye’s knee, powers up to fight the hold, but Skye throws her down by her hair! The ref reprimands, Skye “apologizes” then throws more hands. Kris throws hands, Skye hits back, and they fire forearms back and forth! They go harder, then Skye kicks low! Skye fires shots as Dynamite returns to single picture. Skye whips Kris to a corner but Kris comes right back to CLOBBER Skye! And again! And again! Fans fire up with Kris while Skye goes to a corner.

Kris runs up, UPPERCUTS, then goes side to side to KNEE Skye! O’Conner Roll, CHAOS THEORY! Skye flounders, Kris drags her to a cover, TWO! Skye is still in this but Kris fires back up. The fans rally while Skye goes to a corner. Kris runs up but Skye dodges. Skye waistlocks, full nelsons, but Kris breaks free. Skye ducks the roundhouse to SUPERKICK! Kris wobbles, drops to a knee, and Skye runs! CODE BLUE!! Cover, TWO!! Kris survives and Skye is shocked! Skye scowls and CLUBS away on Kris. Skye then lets off, goes to a corner, and she wants Kris to get up. Skye hops up the corner, leaps, but Kris blocks the Rana!

Kris gets Skye up again, Skye throws hands, and Skye ranas, but Kris rolls through to deadlift POWERBOMB!! High stack, TWO!! Skye survives and Kris is furious! The fans fire up, Kris drags Skye back up and bumps her off buckles. Kris CHOPS Skye, hoists her up top, and ROCKS her! But Skye CLUBS back! Kris and Skye brawl, Kris CHOPS, then Kris climbs up. Skye still throws shots, but Kris CLUBS Skye now. Skye resists the lift, throws hands, and then drops down, sending Kris into buckles! But Kris still kicks Skye away. Skye grabs at the ref, and JULIA HART slithers out from under the ring! Julia CLUBS Kris, and Skye hits CHEEKY NANDOS!

Skye climbs up after Kris, hops on, SUPER CODE BLUE!! Cover, SKYE WINS!

Winner: Skye Blue, by pinfall

Stokely is disappointed in how that went, but the Princess of the Black Throne is helping her new friend. Skye then beats up on Kris for the hell of it! Fans boo, but Skye sits Kris up for Julia to BLINDSIDE LARIAT! Then Skye has the DRAGON SLEEPER! BUT HERE COMES WILLOW!! The Babe with the Power is still Kris’ friend, and she CLOBBERS Julia! And CLOBBERS Skye! The spooky duo bails outta there, and fans fire up as Willow helps Kris up. Stokely says there are still unanswered questions about who is really friends with who, but then ABADON is here! The Living Dead Girl won’t let Julia forget their match this Saturday!! Will the House come falling down at Worlds End?

 

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.

My Score: 8.9/10

Zero Hour – ROH World Television Championship: Atlantis Jr. VS Brian Cage!

The second generation star of CMLL has been holding onto this title through the summer, but we’re in Autumn now and that means a season of change. Will The Machine make sure Atlantis has a great fall? Or will Atlantis prove there is an answer to “Who betta than Cage?”

Backstage interview with MXM Collection.

Alicia Atout is with Mansoor & Mason, and says their match with The Acclaimed came with many promises. One was to end scissoring, and the other is to have a mystery guest at ringside. Mansoor says yes, things got ugly on Rampage. Speaking of ugly, Max, Anthony & Billy, are you excited for MXM’s special surprise? Their third man, that is. But he is anything but ugly. He is fabulous, and he will beautifully make sure MXM takes Acclaimed’s spot and ends scissoring forever. But first… how do they look… RICO!? Wait, what!? YES! Rico Constantino says they look so~ good to him. The OG wrestling model is All Elite, but will he help MXM bury scissoring?

 

Zero Hour – Anna Jay VS Harley Cameron!

Like many, The Star of the Show doesn’t understand what the wild Aussie is going on about. Anna was never officially an Outcast so why would she help them? They never helped her! But will Anna help herself up the ladder in this ever evolving AEW Women’s Division? Or will Harley avenge Saraya’s loss in her own way?

The bell rings and the two tie up. Anna waistlocks, Harley switches, then Harley spins Anna to snapmare. Harley taunts Anna, but Anna shrugs that off. The two go again, Harley waistlocks then headlocks. Anna wrenches out to headlock and the fans rally. Harley powers up and out, then drop toeholds Anna.

Now where is my locker room?” Mone asks a AEW staff member that very question, and hopes she has her espresso machine. She has to get ready for the show. Queen Aminata steps in to say that she doesn’t care who Mone is, or how many titles she has, or what she’s done in this business. There is no reason to be rude like this. Oh, no reason~! Who even are YOU? Mone has no time for Aminata. Now, to her locker room! The CEO has disrespected a queen, will she come to regret it?

Snapmare, then PENALTY- NO, Perry blocks and drags Shibata down! Step over, SNARE TRAP!! Shibata endures Perry’s modified STF, and he fights around to reach out. Perry cranks the hold but Shibata still claws his way to the ROPEBREAK! The fans cheer, Perry is frustrated, but then Perry drags Shibata to the apron! DRAPING DDT to the floor! The Scapegoat strikes like a Viper, and he puts Shibata in to cover, TWO!!

Perry is beside himself but he aims from a corner. Perry soaks up the heat, runs up on Shibata, but Shibata stops the knee! DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! The fans are thunderous as Shibata fireman’s carries again! USHIGOROSHI! And SLEEPER! Perry stands, rolls, but Shibata holds on! Body scissors added! But Perry pushes back to a cover! PERRY WINS!!

Winner: Jack Perry, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)

The fans boo and Shibata is surprised, but he got caught by surprise there! Shibata argues with the ref, but Perry ATTACKS! Perry beats Shibata down, and then has the belt! BELT SHOT!! The fans boo, but Perry just spits at them! Perry aims again, BUT WAIT! Here comes Daniel Garcia! The Red Death, ally and friend of Shibata, storms in to step in Perry’s way! Garcia also called out all champions in AEW, so here’s target number one! They stare down, but Perry chuckles and leaves. The fans boo, but then wait! MJF is here?!? Garcia changes targets from Perry to the Wolf of Wrestling! MJF has returned after being put on the shelf by Garcia!

MJF has them cut his music, but he has no mic in hand. MJF and Garcia are face to face in the ring, talking a lot of trash, but then Perry CLOBBERS Garcia! The fans boo and MJF steps back. The Scapegoat is a snake, and MJF grins because he’s a vulture! MJF takes off his coat, then his shirt, and he mocking asks if Garcia is okay, before raining down fists! The fans boo more, and now MJF wants a mic! MJF stands on Garcia’s neck as he says, “Danny, it’s been awhile since I saw you, buddy. As I recall, last time I saw you, I beat you without breaking a sweat. And then I went on to make several movies and several millions. Bu tone second.”

MJF rains down more fists! Then MJF says Garcia’s been up to big stuff since then, too. Apparently there was a bidding war? That was about as real as the Seattle Supersonics. The fans boo that but MJF says he’s talking, Seattle! Oh wait, this is Tacoma! WHO GIVES A S*IT!? But hey, Garcia, thanks for telling MJF that his Dynamite Diamond Ring was in a pawn shop somewhere in Buffalo. It took some time, but MJF found it! And now Garcia’s gonna kiss it! MJF puts the ring on his pinkie, kisses it himself, but ADAM COLE IS HERE?! Tacoma erupts and MJF has seen a ghost! The Panama City Playboy is back and the fans lose their minds!

Cole runs up, and he’s 100%! MJF runs away, he wants nothing to do with his former brochacho! MJF flees through the crowd, and fans join in on the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!!” Cole is back, MJF is back, but will one of these returns be cut real short by the grudge between them?

 

AEW International Championship Triple Threat: Will Ospreay VS Ricochet VS Konosuke Takeshita!

The Aerial Assassin and the One & Only had at match so #OuttaThisWorld that it ended in a draw! And just as they were looking to settle things in a follow-up, The Alpha attacked, all under Don Callis’ orders! Will Konosuke be able to take advantage of the chaos and bring this title back to the Don Callis Family? Will Ospreay settle things with his former friends once and for all? Or are they both going to be left behind by the King of Flight?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if the numbers spell disaster at WrestleDream!

Don Callis is on commentary, wanting Takeshita to prove he is the greatest athlete in AEW. The bell rings and Ospreay & Ricochet go after Konosuke together! They stomp, kick, double snapmare, and then take turns giving KICKS! Callis says we’ll see how long that lasts. Konosuke eggs them both on, so they DOUBLE KICK! Konosuke bails to, Ricochet stops the Oscutter! Ospreay avoids the Detonation Kick! Ospreay runs up, handsprings through the hip toss to arm-drag Ricochet! Ricochet handsprings, dodges, and handsprings back to RANA, but Ospreay handsprings! Ospreay dodges, and both men handspring to superhero pose!

But then Konosuke DOUBLE SHOTGUNS them! The fans fire up, Konosuke storms out after both men, and fans love “A E DUB!” for making this happen. Konosuke RAMS Ricochet into steel steps, then he whips Ospreay hard into barriers! Ospreay falls back, Konosuke fires up, and the fans fire up with him. Konosuke fetches Ricochet to bring him over, and DDT to the floor! Ricochet sputters, and Konosuke brings out a TABLE! Konosuke is taking advantage of No Disqualifications already, and Callis says “Kurose! <Kill ’em!>” Ospreay storms up, Konosuke ELBOWS him away, then POSTS him! The table is set, and Konosuke goes to Ricochet.

Konosuke SMACKS Ricochet off the apron, puts him up on the apron, then follows. Ricochet grabs ropes to stop the Blue Thunder! Konosuke CLUBS Ricochet, reels him back in, BLUE- NO, Ricochet slips into the ring! Ricochet ROCKS Konosuke, and Konosuke holds on to avoid falling! Ricochet fires more shots, but Konosuke ROCKS him back. Konosuke steps in, runs corner to corner, but Ricochet dodges! Konosuke hits buckles, tumbles up and out, and Ricochet hurries to DORPKICK Ospreay off the apron! The fans fire up, Ricochet handsprings to SASUKE SPECIAL, but Konosuke catches him! So Ospreay adds HIS SASUKE SPECIAL!!

The fans are thunderous while all three men are down! Ospreay drags Konosuke up and into the ring, aims from a corner, and he springboards, PIP PIP CHEERIO! Cover, TWO! Konosuke is tougher than that but Ospreay stays close. Ospreay stands Konosuke up to CHOP! Konosuke sputters, but Ospreay stalks Konosuke. Ospreay CHOPS again! Ospreay whips, Konosuke blocks, but Ospreay breaks free to ROCK him! Ricochet runs up, dodges, KICKS, KICKS, but Ospreay hooks him. Ricochet BOOTS Konosuke, sends Ospreay into him, NECKBREAKER DDT COMBO! Then STANDING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, TWO!

Ricochet stays cool, and he then scuffs Ospreay to the floor. Ricochet CHOPS Konosuke, but Konosuke fights the fireman’s carry. Konosuke shoves Ricochet away, runs up, but Ricochet ELBOWS him back. Konosuke tries again, but Ricochet BOOTS! Somersault, into the ALPHA ELBOW! The fans fire up again while Konosuke stalks Ricochet. Konosuke rains down fists, CHOKES Ricochet, then lets off to bring Ricochet up. Ricochet still fights the Blue Thunder, so Konosuke shoves him away. Ospreay RAMS into Ricochet, slingshots up and over to then duck Konosuke. Handspring, DOUBLE PELE! The fans fire up while all three men are down!

Ricochet goes to the apron, the fans rally for Ospreay as he and Konosuke stand, and Konosuke puts Ospreay on the apron! Ospreay fights off both opponents, but Konosuke ROCKS Ospreay! Ospreay fights the suplex, and now he suplexes! Konosuke lands safe on the apron! Konosuke ROCKS Ospreay, Ricochet and Ospreay fire CHOPS! Konosuke CHOPS Ricochet, Ospreay SUPERKICKS! Ricochet pushes Konosuke aside, stops the Oscutter, and half nelsons. Ospreay ELBOWS free, Konosuke CLUBS Ricochet! Konosuke catches Ospreay to a fireman’s carry, APRON DEATH VALLEY! Ricochet goes up, APRON METEORA!!

All three men are down and the fans are thunderous! Ricochet rises first, “This is Awesome!” as he puts Konosuke on the table. Ricochet steps in, then builds speed! But Ospreay runs up to SPANISH FLY! Cover, TWO!! Ricochet survives but Ospreay starts up an “OI! OI! OI!” Ospreay underhooks and lifts, but Ricochet RANAS free! Cover, TWO!! Ospreay escapes, dodges, and HOOK KICKS! Ospreay loads up, HIDDEN- Gory Especial, BACKSLIDE BOMB! Cover TWO!! Ospreay is still in this but the fans fire up as Ricochet climbs! 450- NO, Ricochet rolls through! Ospreay POP-UP BOMBS, and steps through, STYLES CLASH!! Cover, Konosuke breaks it!

The fans are fired up all over again, and Konosuke scowls at Ospreay. Konosuke stands Ospreay up but Ospreay fires forearms! Konosuke ROCKS Ospreay! Ospreay SUPERKICKS! Ospreay whips, Konosuke reverses and ducks a kick, pump handle, BASTARD DRIVER into WHEELBARROW GERMAN! Ospreay roars as he rises, but Konosuke LARIATS! Ricochet V-TRIGGERS! And HEEL KICKS! Ricochet dodges, handsprings, but into the BLUE THUNDER BOMB!! Cover, TWO?!? Ricochet survives, Konosuke can’t believe it, and all three are down again! The fans cheer “A E DUB!

Konosuke stands Ricochet up, but Ricochet fires a forearm, an UPPERCUTR, and a CHOP! Konosuke just DECKS him! Ospreay fires shots now, but Konosuke DECKS him, too! Konosuke eggs them both on, so Ricochet and Ospreay shake hands and stand up! The fans fire up, Callis is upset, but Ricochet and Ospreay again fight Konosuke 2v1! DOUBLE FOREARMS and Konosuke drops! But then he rises back up!? Konosuke takes off elbow pads, and he DECKS Ospreay! And he DECKS Ricochet! The fans are thunderous as Callis says Konsouke just got a two run homer!

Ricochet almost snipes that one, but the fans are thunderous! Konosuke goes to the apron, Ospreay goes to a corner, and the fans love “ALL THESE GUYS! ALL THESE GUYS!” They want them to “FIGHT FOREVER!” but there’s still so much show to go!

Ricochet puts Ospreay in a corner, CHOPS him, then puts him up top. Ricochet climbs, but Ospreay fights with body shots. Ospreay fires hands, but Ricochet DUMPS Ospreay down.

Then POISON-RANA for Ricochet! Ricochet POISON-RANAS back! Konosuke has both guys! DOUBLE GERMAN SUPLEX!! The fans are electric, and Konosuke crawls to Ricochet. Konosuke drags Ricochet up, ROCKS him, and Ricochet flops out of the ring.

Ricochet and Ospreay are together, Konosuke builds speed to FLY! Down go both Ospreay & Ricochet! Konosuke puts Ricochet in, then gets moving, to TAKESHITA LINE!! Cover, TWO!!! Ricochet survives and Callis says it was that close! Ricochet crawls to a corner, Konosuke goes to the other end. Konosuke runs up to HELLUVA KICK!

Ospreay goes up to join Ricochet now, to SUPER DUPER RANA him at Konosuke! Ricochet makes it a cover! Ospreay breaks it!!

The fans continue to rally, and Ospreay brings Ricochet up. Ricochet SLAPS Ospreay! Ospreay frowns, and SUPERKICKS! Ricochet wobbles, Ospreay aims! HIDDEN- ROLLING KICK! Ricochet hurries up top and roars! The fans fire up with him as he SHOOTING STAR PRESSES! But a POWER DRIVER KNEE takes him down! DOUBLE COVER, TWO!!! Both men survive and Konosuke is shocked! Konosuke then looks to his table, and he seems to have an idea. Ricochet goes to the apron, and fans fire up as Konosuke points to the table! Konosuke drags Ricochet up, but Ricochet still fights Blue Thunder!

Ricochet ENZIGIRIS, then gets some space. Ricochet runs up to AX KICK! Ricochet hauls Konosuke up, and he points! But Konosuke flips things around! Inverted suplex, a tuck, and a FLYING NBASTARD DREIVER through the table!!! The fans erupt and Konosuke beats his chest! Callis says that’s it! But then HIDDEN BLADE!!! Cover, ONE?!?!? Ospreay doesn’t hesitate, he just HIDDEN BLADES again!!!! Cover, CALLIS YANKS THE REF OUT!!! The fans boo but Callis isn’t letting Ospreay win this no matter what! He has the screwdriver!!! But Ospreay blocks the attack! Callis wants mercy, but Ospreay says screw that!

Ospreay underhooks Callis, but in slides KYLE FLETCHER! SCREWDRIVER ATTACK!!! The Aussie Arrow has betrayed Ospreay! Ospreay is so confused, and the fans are so upset, but Callis says this is what Ospreay gets for turning on the Family. POWER DRIVE KNEE!!! Fletcher fetches the ref, the ref counts the cover, KONOSUKE WINS!

Winner: Konosuke Takeshita, by pinfall (NEW AEW International Champion)

Even with it being a Triple Threat, Callis had to stack the deck and make sure Ospreay lost everything, not just the title! Ospreay has no gold, no ally, and no idea why! But Fletcher reels Ospreay in, grins, and he underhooks Ospreay’s arms! Fletcher then roars as he hits STORM DRIVER on Ospreay!!! The move Ospreay was reluctant to use, Fletcher did not even hesitate! Did the Don Callis Family just make sure Ospreay is gone from AEW?

 

Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy and Jerry Lynn.

Renee is with Freshly Squeezed and the Board of Directors member, and says Jerry has something to say to Cassidy. Jerry thanks Cassidy for the time, and wants us to know that he has been doing this for 40 YEARS, yet has never seen anyone like Cassidy. Cassidy is unique, special, connects with the fans, and even connects with other wrestlers. Jerry even dressed as Cassidy for Halloween last year. But Jerry just wants to know that while Cassidy has been through some stuff, Cassidy stepped up. With all the chaos going on, if Cassidy really wanted to, if he really tried, he could be the man around here. Just food for thought.

Jerry leaves, but in steps Hook. Hook says he should listen to Jerry. Cassidy is the man. Hook and Cassidy fist bump, and Cassidy definitely has something to think about. Will Orange look to have gold once again?

 

Prince Nana is here!

The fans cheer as he’s already in the ring, mic in hand. He plugs Prince Nana Coffee, but then says he has to bring out our man for the update. He is the Forever AEW World Champion, the most dangerous man in AEW, and his boss, “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” The fans fire up as The Realest makes his entrance, gets a spotlight and pyro, and he goes to the ring. The “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” continues, and then Nana hands the mic to Swerve. The fans chant “Welcome Home! Welcome Home!” and Swerve says, “Not gonna lie, man. It feels a little weird being out here without the AEW World Championship around my waist.

“But with that home welcoming, I’m kinda happy again. Thank you very much.” The fans cheer, and we get more “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Swerve says they’re saying what he needs for him. But to cut to the chase, his medical update. It is a little wonky, he still has tingling in his neck that shoots to his waist, legs, and fingers. It is like all the things he said about Bryan is coming back on him. Karma’s a mug, huh? But that all said… Swerve is medically cleared. The fans cheer that! Swerve wanted to come out here and address his hometown, his people, and tell us all about the past, the present, and what he plans for the future.

But then Montel Vontavious Porter interrupts. A future? What a great segue, Swerve! Because the future is what MVP and Shelton Benjamin are here to discuss. But maybe minion Nana didn’t pass word along, because Swerve hasn’t called, answered emails, answered DMs, so maybe Swerve must be in deep contemplation thinking about his decisions regarding his future. MVP & Shelton join Swerve & Nana in the ring. MVP says they have history They go way back! In fact, MVP believed in Swerve even before Swerve did. MVP told Swerve about the great things that lay ahead. MVP is the one who said on The Wrestlers that their future was in great hands!

The fans chant “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” and MVP says yes, it IS Swerve’s House! It is! But see, right now, unfortunately for Swerve, his career is floundering. The fans boo, but MVP says hold on. His resume speaks for itself. One thing MVP is good at is taking former champions and helping them remember the things that what allowed them to be great. To ascend to the mountaintop and have the titles they should have. So now, let’s talk business. Swerve says first off, hello. Secondly, MVP did give Swerve a lot of great advice back in like 2017. Remember that match they had in Defy? Fans cheer that name drop!

And remember when Swerve won? Yes, MVP did! Swerve learned a whole lot that night that he still carries with him. And even further, Swerve saw MVP take a lot of great stars and put them to superstardom, above pro-wrestling! So inspiring! Just like Shelton Benjamin! The fans cheer as Swerve says Shelton’s a big inspiration to a lot of people! 12-year-old Swerve would be crying just standing here with Shelton! Shelton’s presence on TV meant so much to Swerve, because it paved the way for Black wrestlers in this ring, all because of Shelton. The fans cheer that!

But now… Swerve was watching the show. And Nana, the stuff MVP has been saying, it’s not wrong. Uh oh. The last couple months have not been good. Swerve can’t even remember what happened in the cage match from getting beat so bad. But since being with Nana, Swerve has lost the main event at All Out, has lost his childhood home, but most importantly, he lost the AEW World Championship. Swerve says that was all under Nana’s watch. On the other hand, Swerve wouldn’t have had all that if not for Nana. The fans cheer that! But then on the other hand again, Swerve and MVP go away back! The potential of what they could do in AEW… They could make some real history.

Swerve likes having power more than anyone. He is already the most dangerous man, so with MVP & Shelton, OH MY GAWD! Though, Nana, gotta say, there are a lot of things just kinda irk Swerve. Swerve is watching the percentages in his wages going up and up. Not sure what that’s about. Nana’s still selling weed to high schoolers in parking lots… So Hangman was right?! Swerve says yes, that’s still a thing. Nana is neurotic, sporadic, absent minded, but the biggest thing is… Nana is… family. And Swerve doesn’t turn on his back on family for anybody! The fans cheer as Swerve tells MVP to take his business cards and shove ’em!

The fans cheer, nana does his dance, and swerve says we’re in whose house? “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Shelton gets in Swerve’s face and says he misread the situation. See, they weren’t asking. They were telling Swerve that there is no Swerve without them. So he’s either with them or against them. Nana steps in, Shelton shoves Nana but Swerve shoves Shelton! MVP has Shelton stand down, they gotta pick their spot! Refs and Daniels rush out here, fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT!” but Shelton DECKS a ref! MVP says NO, that’s not how they do this! MVP and Shelton leave first, and the fans are on Swerve’s side. What will MVP & Shelton do to make Swerve pay for this disrespect?

 

Best 2 Out of 3 Falls: Holo.grm VS The Beast Mortos!

The futuristic luchador has risen to 14-0, and that really gets on the nerves of La Faccion Ingobernables. The menacing minotaur wants revenge for his previous losses, will he rip Hologram to shreds? Or is there no stopping the rise of the innovator?

Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.

Renee Paquette doesn’t do the CEO introduction she did on Tuesday, but now it’s not good enough for the Two Belt Boss! Mone says she needs something something, more flava. Then joining her now is- Okay, no, Renee is better off just asking the questions. Renee congratulates Mone on her double title defense victory on Title Tuesday, but those chops from Emi Sakura…! It was like one after another! Wasn’t it like 30 or something? Mone & Kamille tell Renee to stop. Mone is still feeling the pain. But she is The CEO, she has no time for this, it is time to handle business. She has to go jump on her private jet, something Renee knows nothing about!

But Kamille is staying here to watch Kris Statlander very closely. And do you know why? Because money changes everything! Bye-bye, Renee. Mone heads out, Brickhouse stays, and Renee sheepishly exits. Will Kamille make sure the #BornAgainKristen doesn’t just talk the talk but walks the walk?

 

The Acclaimed VS ???

Speaking of talking and walking, Platinum Max Caster leads the way for Anthony Bowens as they- GET JUMPED BY MXM COLLECTION!? The fans boo as Mansoor & Mason Madden beat down Caster & Bowens! Mason may have been a football player but he dribbles Caster off the ramp while Mansoor stomps away on Bowens! Mason RIPS the customized jacket, to then CHOKE Caster with it! Mansoor runs Bowens right into the side of the tunnel! MXM is getting revenge for their New York fashion show finale being ruined, and they place The Acclaimed side by side on stage.

Mansoor has Caster’s mic to say, “Now you see what happens, huh!? Now you see what happens when Daddy Ass isn’t around to protect you. We drop you on YOUR asses! And I bet you didn’t think we could do it, huh? I bet none of you thought MXM Collection were capable of this!” Bowens tris to sit up but Mansoor stomps him down. Mansoor says MXM didn’t wanna take it this far! They wanted to keep it light. They wanted to keep it fun. But Acclaimed took something special from them! They took MXM’s Grand Slam Collision moment away!

“So now, we are going to take something from you. Tomorrow night, WrestleDream, MXM Collection BEAT The Acclaimed, and WE are going to take YOUR spot!” The fans boo, but Mansoor says when numbers are even, MXM come out on top. Tomorrow night, MXM will have a very special surprise in their corner. It will be a third man, and Acclaimed, Mansoor promises them, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that third man will make sure they KILL scissoring and bury it once and for all! Mansoor then shouts to Mason, “Touch! My! Tip!” They finger boop as the fans boo, but both challenge and promise have been made. Who will be that third man, brother?

 

Kris Statlander speaks.

“You ever feel like somewhere along the way, you lost who you were? That’s exactly what happened to me. When you make a change, you need to think where you went wrong or how you got there. For me, everything went wrong when Mercedes Mone showed up. My best friend became obsessed with her. I let Stokely get in my ear, and I got led down the wrong path. I didn’t know who I was, but I did what I needed to do. And on the five year anniversary of Dynamite, I was reminded of who I am. I became ‘Born Again Kristen,’ and I am the biggest, baddest, strongest woman in AEW. I’m coming for Mercedes Mone and her TBS title.”

The Galaxy’s Greatest has her head on straight, but will she be able to earn that shot at championship redemption in the background of WrestleDream?

 

Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.

Renee is with Cassidy, Kyle and Rocky, and she commends Cassidy & Kyle on their win over The Kingdom. And tonight, Rocky is going to step into the ring with “The Bad Apple,” Bryan Keith. How does he feel ahead of his match? Rocky says he’s a little pissed. On Title Tuesday, The Learning Tree said Rocky was just some lackey for The Conglomeration. But Rocky is no man’s lackey! Tonight, he shows the Learning Tree, and most importantly Bryan Keith, that Rocky is his own man. Kyle says that’s right, Rocky. But um, Mark Briscoe isn’t here tonight, so what’s the word of the day? Kyle really needs to know.

Rocky says the word of the day is they stand back here while he handles business. Rocky heads out, will Azucar get himself some sweet victory? Or will The Bad Apple make him taste bitter defeat?

 

Kris Statlander VS Amira!

With The CEO’s Brickhouse watching backstage, #BornAgainKristen looks to keep her win streak going. Will there be no stopping Kris on her road back to the TBS Championship?

The bell rings, and Kris runs right up to UPPERCUT Amira in a corner! Then she goes side to side to KNEE Amira, and reels her in for a suplex! Kris holds Amira up to show off that strength, and then she SLAMS Amira down! Kris kips up and the fans fire up! Kris storms back up on Amira, but Amira fires forearms! Kris shoves Amira, Amira ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl, but Kris stops the rana! Tuck and STATURDAY NIGHT FEVER! Cover, Kris wins!

Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall

Another win that wasn’t just strong, but fast! Kamille is only moderately impressed, but will she be feeling different about Kris after they have a head-on Collision?

 

Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.

Renee is with The Learning Tree and brings up tomorrow night, WrestleDream, and the ROH World Championship match with Mark Briscoe. However, Jericho has quickly made this match personal with Mark, what is going on? Jericho smiles and says, “Hi, guys~! You know what’s personal to me, Renee? It’s the legacy of Chris Jericho. And after 34 years in this business, I can honestly say I’ve done and seen it all. I have headlined the biggest buildings in the world, from the Tokyo Dome to Madison Square Garden, to Rod Laver Arena in Sydney, Australia. Arena Mexico, everything. Nobody has had the impact over generations like Chris Jericho has.

“And now, it’s the dawn of a new Chris Jericho. As you know, I always reinvent myself, evolve. I was The Ocho. But now, it’s time for The Nueve. And Mark Briscoe, you know what the word of the day is? It’s, ‘Humbled.’ And you need to be humbled. Cuz you got a great rep, everyone feels for you. They give you a lot of free rides. You get to cut a lot of corners. The fans feel the same way, I don’t. So at WrestleDream tomorrow, I am going to humble you, Mark Briscoe. And if I made things personal, that’s just too bad. If I’m getting inside your head, that’s just what Chris Jericho does.

“So tomorrow at WrestleDream, I will become the ROH World Champion, for a second time! Just like Jay Briscoe, two-time ROH Champion. And Mark, that’s going to be personal. See you tomorrow. The Nueve’s coming. Thanks, guys~!” Jericho stops smiling, but will he fail to keep that promise against a very angry Sussex County Chicken?

 

The Beast Mortos VS The Butcher!

Roderick Strong is on commentary to claim Beast Mortos has simply wondered away from The Kingdom, and he just needs to see he cannot trust Jake The Snake Roberts. But will Mortos only focus on destroying his opponent? Or can The Butcher make Mortos in a prime cut of beef?

The bell rings and the fans rally up as the two circle. They tie up, are in a deadlock, then break. The fans rally, the two tie up again, and then the two break again. Butcher and Mortos fire up, tie up again, and push each other back and forth. Butcher puts Mortos in the corner, the fans chant “BEAT THAT MEAT!” but the ref counts. Butcher backs off, he and Mortos reset, and they tie up again. They’re in another deadlock, but now Mortos powers Butcher back. Mortos lets off, but then SMACKS Butcher! The fans fire up as Butcher snarls. Butcher and Mortos tie up, and Butcher wrenches an arm to a wristlock.

Mortos goes up the ropes to flip through! Mortos wrenches, headlocks, but Butcher powers out. They RAM shoulders, and Butcher says Mortos’s got nothing! Mortos runs, he RAMS Butcher again, and Butcher says that’s nothing! Mortos fires up, runs, and RAMS Butcher again! Mortos eggs Butcher on, so Butcher runs, and Mortos drops! Mortos runs up, Butcher dodges but Mortos dodges back! Mortos rolls off Butcher’s back, then SOBATS! Front kick! ELBOW! Snapmare, and NECK TWIST! The fans fire up with Mortos, even Roddy cheers, and Mortos runs up. Butcher BOOTS back!

Butcher fireman’s carries, GUTBUSTER DROP, then LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Mortos survives, but Butcher stands him up to fire forearms. Butcher whips, Mortos reverses, then runs in. Butcher BOOTS Mortos, but Mortos fires up! Mortos runs in, Butcher dodges, and Mortos hits the corner! Mortos tumbles up and out, Butcher pursues, and Rampage goes picture in picture.

Butcher CLUBS Mortos, then brings him around to whip into the apron! Butcher LARIATS Mortos down, and he looms over the beast. Butcher drags Mortos up, to then APRON BACK SUPLEX! Mortos staggers then falls over, and Butcher refreshes the ring count. Butcher ROCKS Mortos, CHOPS him, then stalks him around the way. Mortos SMACKS Butcher! Butcher ROCKS Mortos! Butcher SMACKS Mortos off the steel steps, then stalks him around the way. Butcher ROCKS Mortos again, Roddy shouts for Mortos to get going, but Butcher BITES Mortos on the forehead! The ref reprimands but Butcher stalks Mortos.

Butcher BOOTS Mortos, puts him in the ring, then storms over. Butcher drags Mortos into a chinlock and digs fingers into Mortos’ face! Butcher CLUBS Mortos but Mortos fires body shots! Mortos backs Butcher down, fires up, but Butcher CLOBBERS him from behind! Butcher drops a knee on Mortos, Mortos goes to a corner, and Butcher digs his boots in. The ref counts, but Rampage goes to break.

Rampage returns and now Mortos has Butcher down. The fans fire up and Mortos storms up to LARIAT! But Butcher stays up! Mortos LARIATS again, but Butcher shakes his head. Mortos runs, but Butcher ROCKS him first! Butcher runs, but Mortos follows to SPLASH at the ropes! Mortos runs and baits Butcher in! HEADBUTT! Mortos roars, but DOUBLE LARIATS take both behemoths down! The fans fire up and a standing count starts. Butcher and Mortos slowly rise, and they go to opposite ends. Mortos storms up to fireman’s carry and WASTELAND SLAM! The fans fire up as Mortos climbs!

The fans fire up as Mortos PHOENIX FLOPS as Butcher moves! Butcher runs up, waistlocks, half nelson and BACKBRAEKER! Then a deadlift JACKHAMMER!! Cover, TWO!! Mortos survives and Butcher is frustrated. Butcher points to the corner, climbs it, but Mortos CLUBS him! Mortos torture racks Butcher, BACKBREAKER DROP!! Even Roddy is stunned! Mortos hits a FLYING HEADBUTT!! Cover, Mortos wins!

Winner: The Beast Mortos, by pinfall

Roddy says he was Mortos’ good luck charm! Jake the Snake is watching, he likes what he sees from his new client. But will Mortos be able to bring down Hologram in their WrestleDream Best 2 Out of 3 Falls match?

 

Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.

Renee is with the wild Aussie and asks if there’s any update on Saraya, who suffered in that brutal loss on Title Tuesday in that Fatal 4 Way. Harley says yes, Saraya is once again “incapacitated.” Then how is Harley holding up? She’s capacitated. What? Exactly! But do you know whose fault this really is? Does Renee know whom? Who? No, whom. Just say whom. ANNA JAY! What? She wasn’t even in the match! Exactly! It was an Anything Goes, so Anna could’ve been that anything, but she didn’t show up. Harley had to pull wood outta her ass, but where was Anna? Probably home watching her Stardom tapes? Ohh~!

All of a sudden, Anna goes to Japan and now she’s too big for the rest of them? Anna was supposed to be Saraya’s friend, but she wasn’t there, and now Saraya is pissed. And when Saraya is pissed, Harley kicks ass! Renee is confused, Harley says no more questions, and Harley storms off. Will the Star of the Show pay for simply doing nothing?

 

Lance Archer VS Matt Brannigan!

He may be part of the Don Callis Family now, but he’s still the Murderhawk Monster! He demolished people in the parking lot, he demolished his opponent on ROH last night, will he just keep on demolishing people until he’s become a champion?

The bell rings and Brannigan flexes right up in Archer’s face, but then regrets it. Archer choke grips, but Brannigan slips free! Brannigan dodges in the corner, CHOPS, but again regrets it. He CHOPS again, and again, then tries a choke grip! Archer just pries the hand away to LARIAT Brannigan inside-out! Archer whips Brannigan, BACKDROPS him, and the fans fire up! Brannigan goes to a corner. Archer runs in to ELBOW! Archer keeps going, and he ELBOWS Brannigan again! And then ELBOWS him again! Brannigan falls, the fans fire up, and Archer drags Brannigan to his feet. Double choke grip, for a TOSS overhead!

The fans fire up while Brannigan flounders. Archer reminds us, “EVERYBODY DIES!” Archer stands Brannigan up, tells the ref to back off, and he CHOPS Brannigan down! The fans fire up, Archer puts Brannigan back in the corner, and he fakes the chop. The fans boo but Archer puts Brannigan up top. UPPERCUT, and then crucifix lift! BLACKOUT BOMB! Cover, Archer wins!

Winner: Lance Archer, by pinfall

Callis loves the dominance of his Murderhawk Monster, but will Callis help Archer finally have gold here in AEW?

 

Jake the Snake speaks.

It was just after Title Tuesday and the world saw La Faccion Ingobernable join this living legend when Jake Roberts said, “Anybody that knows Jake Roberts knows that Jake Roberts has been all over the world, wrestled everyone. From Andre the Giant to Hulk Hogan and back. It did not matter. But they also know that Jake Roberts never cared about rules. Rules are for children. We’re not children. My friend, what we have here, matadors? Maybe. Maybe ninjas, who knows. I will tell you this: They’re hungry. What are we going to do next? That should be the question in your mind. Because when Jake Roberts tells you something, you can take it to heart.

“Rules are meant to be broken, like bones. And my friend, they’ll be glad to do both for you.” Rush tells us all to remember: If you mess with the bull, you get the horns! LFI throw up the fists, who will get those fists in their face in the very near future?

 

Backstage interview with Anna Jay.

Renee is now with The Star of the Show and brings up the harsh words from Harley. Harley blames Anna for not being a friend? Anna says yes, that’s right, they’re not friends, never were friends. It was a one-time team up, and they took some nice pictures, but Anna’s not running out to the ring to help two women who wouldn’t even spit on her if she was on fire. Anna takes care of herself, and that is fine. She has her own back, and needs both hands. What has she been saying since getting back? #JustTryMe. So what’s so hard about that? Anna is here and ready for anyone.

Harley wants to kick Anna’s ass? This one? Anna shows it to the camera. Just a heads up, this ass can kick back. Harley has been warned, will she reconsider her misplaced aggression?

 

Rocky Romero VS Bryan Keith!

Azucar may not be on the current Conglomeration merch shirt, but that doesn’t mean he’s any less a part of the team. Will Rocky make sure everyone, especially The Bad Apple, understands that?

But Keith doesn’t wait for the bell, he attacks Rocky at the corner! The bell does ring, Keith fires off forearms, and the ref reprimands. Keith lets off just to dig his boot in, but the ref tells Keith to stop. Keith snatches Rocky’s eyepatch away, then SMACKS him with it! Keith CHOPS Rocky, whips him corner to corner, but Rocky goes up and up to CROSSBODY! Rocky rains down fists, and he fires up! The fans fire up with Rocky but Keith bails out. Rocky finally takes off his jacket, and goes out after Keith. Keith knees low, whips, but Rocky stops from hitting steps! Rocky SMACKS Keith off steps, then uses steps to go up and FLYING RANA!

The fans fire up while Rocky gives some Latino Heat. Rocky puts Keith in, climbs a corner, but Keith bails out. The fans boo, but then Rocky WRECKS Keith with a dropkick! Rocky hurries out after Keith and the fans rally again. Rocky uses steps again, but Keith catches Rocky! EXPLODER to the floor! Rocky writhes and Rampage goes picture in picture.

Keith storms up on Rocky, rains down fists, but stops as the ref reprimands. Keith paces around, drags Rocky up, and CHOPS him! Rocky staggers away, Keith storms up and CHOPS again. Keith whips Rocky hard into railing! Rocky falls in a heap but Keith still seethes. Keith drags Rocky up, puts him in, and then drags Rocky up just to snapmare him back down. Keith drops a knee on Rocky’s face! Cover, TWO! Keith argues the count but Aubrey defends that two is two. Keith storms after Rocky to CHOP him in a corner. Keith stalks Rocky, bumps him off buckles, then puts him against ropes!

Aubrey counts, Keith lets off, and Keith puts Rocky in a corner. Keith whips corner to corner, Rocky reverses, then Rocky runs up to LARIAT! Rocky fires up, runs again, LARIAT! That’s two-ever but Rocky keeps moving, only for Keith to use Aubrey as a shield! Jericho really has taught him well. Rocky helps Aubrey aside, and he fires haymakers on Keith! Rocky ROCKS Keith, then whips corner to corner. Keith reverses, runs up, and he LARIATS Rocky inside-out! Keith then shouts at the camera, probably “RESPECT CHRIS JERICHO!” Keith clamps onto Rocky with a chinlock and grinds him down.

Rocky endures, pries at the hold, and fights up to his feet. Rocky fires body shots, then ROCKS Keith! And ROCKS him again! Keith CHOPS, Rampage returns to single picture, then he runs up. Rocky BOOTS back, but Keith just roars! Rocky BOOTS him again, then CHOPS Keith on the back! Rocky CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS Keith in the chest, then puts Keith in a corner. Rocky KICKS and KICKS and KICKS away, then stomps a mudhole! Rocky digs both boots in, but Aubrey counts. Rocky lets off and is all fired up, as is Spokane. Rocky waits on Keith, runs in at him, but Keith dodges! Keith runs in, but into an UPPERCUT!

Rocky goes up and up and FLYING TORNADO DDTS! Cover, TWO!! Keith survives but Rocky stays focused. Rocky drags Keith up, then runs up to SLICED- NO, Keith slips free of the bread. Keith fires elbows, Rocky ducks one, but Keith runs up ropes! Rocky denies Keith his tornado DDT, and then wrenches, only for Keith to ROCK him! Underhooks, TIGER KNEE STRIKE! Cover, TWO!! Rocky survives and Keith is stunned! Keith pulls at his hair in frustration but the fans rally up. Keith tells the kids to sit down, and he watches Rocky go to a corner. Keith runs in, blocks a boot, but not the ENZIGIRI!

Rocky goes up, leaps, but into another clinch! EXP- SUNSET FLIP! Keith rolls through, blocks a kick, ducks the enzigiri, but not the REWIND HEEL! Rocky runs up, SLICED BREAD!! Cover, TWO!! Keith survives again and the fans fire up! Rocky pounds the mat, the fans rally behind him, and he goes to a corner. Rocky climbs, but Keith hurries after him! Rocky fights the clinch, ROCKS Keith, but Keith RISING HEADBUTTS! Keith roars, fans boo, but Keith climbs up. Keith turns Rocky around, and BITES Rocky’s head! Aubrey reprimands, but Keith brings Rocky up, only for Rocky to fight! Rocky HEADBUTTS, and cravats!

The fans fire up for the SUPER SLICED BREAD!! Rocky clutches a leg, crawls to the cover, but Keith rolls away! Keith saves himself and fans boo as he goes to the floor. Rocky is frustrated, but he just builds speed. Rocky DIVES and down goes Keith! The fans fire up again and Rocky hobbles after Keith. Rocky drags Keith up, puts him in the ring, and the fans rally again. But Keith talks to Aubrey about pain in his neck. BIG BILL APPEARS, and he YANKS Rocky down! Then he BOOTS Rocky down! The fans boo but Bill puts Rocky in, Aubrey completely missing it! Keith runs in to KNEE Rocky at the corner!

Keith goes up and he reels Rocky in! DIAMOND DUST!! Cover, Keith wins!!

Winner: Bryan Keith, by pinfall

Kyle & Cassidy hurry out here but it is too late! The Bad Apple scores his win off Azucar, and he leaves to celebrate with The Redwood. Will there be no stopping The Learning Tree from having gold in his branches? Or can Mark Briscoe #ManUp and prevent The Nueve’s arrival?


My Thoughts:

A very good Rampage, even for a go-home, but clearly it suffered from the same dilemma as Dynamite in that with no Collision to take the pressure off, a lot more promos and story build had to be put here. Good promo from Mone to play off the one from Tuesday, good promo from Statlander to give us some idea as to why she got away from Stokely, and of course Kris squashes her opponent. Kris VS Kamille is going to be great stuff, and I think Kris sets herself up for a match with Mone at Full Gear. Good promo from Harley and Anna to set up their own match, which I would think Anna wins to get going towards her own title shot.

The Acclaimed being scheduled for a match just so MXM can jump them was pretty clever, but do they really need to have their match on WrestleDream? It feels like the only reason it’s a PPV match is because this third man will pull a Hulk Hogan founding NWO type move. It’ll be a Face going Heel and joining up. I don’t think it’ll be Daddy Ass, there has been no hint he wants out of The Acclaimed. It might be Caster because he wants to break away and prove he on his own is “The Best Wrestler Alive.” This blindside attack would then be a way to disguise that, because Caster got beat up as much as Bowens, but I guess we’ll wait and see.

Mortos VS Butcher was great stuff, and I found it kinda funny that Roddy was on commentary trying to still turn Mortos back to his side. Roddy & The Kingdom claiming all this stuff about Mortos has been pretty funny because clearly it’s all their delusion. Mortos is LFI, he and Hologram are going to have an awesome, potentially show stealing match, and then win or lose, Mortos and LFI will beat up The Kingdom. As such, good promo from Jake the Snake, I really hope LFI gets going this time. Meanwhile, Archer of course destroyed Brannigan, and likewise, let’s hope Archer can get a title now that Callis is his guy.

And really good stuff out of The Conglomeration’s story tonight. Very good tag match to open, can’t go wrong with Cassidy & Kyle VS Kingdom. What’s interesting was the respectful handshake after the match, so that further implies The Kingdom is going Face so they can battle LFI. Good promo from Jericho to give some last hype to the ROH World Championship, but I would hope Mark Briscoe wins. Rocky had a very good promo with Conglomeration, and a great match against Bryan Keith. But I just had a feeling Keith would win thanks to Bill, and good detail that Conglomeration didn’t get out there in time. That technically did honor Rocky’s request that they stay back, but Rocky should’ve known better. I would hope Rocky doesn’t cost Mark the title, we cannot go back to “Ring of Jericho”. No Nueve, por favor.

My Score: 8.6/10
