AEW hears from Jay White and Jay Lethal.

The Switchblade says, “Jay Lethal was one of the greatest in the world when I was cutting my teeth in ROH. For about a year and a half, that was the man that I looked up to. That was the man showing how it’s done. And now look how things, huh, Jay?” But Black Machismo isn’t sure if anyone realizes what the scoreboard says, but it says Jay Lethal NEEDS this victory. White is 1-1, and 1-1 with Lethal. Lethal says when he’s backed into a corner, that is when he’s at his best. Tonight, he will be the victor. But White says two birds, one stone. He’ll take those three points and make their series 2-1 in favor of the Mother Lovin’ Switchblade.

 

Renee Paquette is on stage.

Canada’s own introduces Roderick Strong & The Kingdom. Fans shout “ADAAAM~!” as Roddy wheels out, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett by his side. Renee says Roddy asked for this time, so what is going on? “RENEEEE~! It’s obvious that Max is gonna put his dagger into the heart of my best friend by proxy, SAMOAAA! Joe. It’s tough, but y’know, Joe’s a big boy. And if life has taught me anything, actions have consequences. And tonight, Joe is gonna put his hands on a hot stove, and it’s gonna burn.”

But what if MJF isn’t the guy Roddy thinks he is? “RENEEEE~! You sound crazy. Every decision has consequences, you know that. Look at me. Look at me! This is my life! I’m in this wheelchair because of decisions that I’ve made. This is my life every single day. Every single day! And I will live with the consequences of my decisions, until now.” O M G he stands. Strong says he will no longer suffer, he will no longer be held back. Taven CHUCKS the wheelchair off the stage! Strong says that chair held him back for far too long! Far. Too. Long. Roddy slams the mic down, is Roddy going to take things into his own hands?

 

Renee is now backstage.

She is outside MJF’s locker room, looking for a word from him before the match with Samoa Joe. But then Hangman Page walks by, and so Renee gets a word from him now. We hadn’t seen him until now after that loss at Full Gear. How is he feeling? Where’s he been? Well, Hangman got hit in the back of the head with a cinderblock then choked unconscious so he could not fly for a few weeks. But he’s glad she caught him, glad to do this, because there is something he’s needed to say to Swerve, and to the world.

“Swerve, you broke into my home. You went into my son’s room. It took Prince Nana, it took Brian Cage, but you beat me in a Texas Deathmatch on PPV. I can concede, I can recognize when I have lost. And you have beaten me. But Swerve, at Full Gear, I took something from you that you will never get back. And I think that we are bound by something bigger than either of us. And I think that you should know this is not over. And Swerve, I know what you want more than anything from this life. And I promise, because of what you did to m e, I will make sure that you never have it.”

MJF then walks out, smiles, and says hi to “Seabiscuit.” Just gotta say, bravo on that match at Full Gear. So impressive for two guys to battle it out just to see who can get the most STDs. Hangman says honestly, he doesn’t have 30 minutes to have MJF talk like he normally does, so this is his interview now. Enjoy, good luck. Hangman leaves and MJF says the reason he has 30 minutes is because he has to wake the fans up after they’ve had to endure someone like Hangman beforehand. But anyway- Hangman comes back and asks if this is what MJF is gonna do. Does MJF have something else to say to him?

Well, funny Hangman should ask. MJF’s memory isn’t all that great, because he’s been hit in the head a few times during this incredible title reign he’s been on. But uh, does Hangman remember? The last time they were eye to eye, MJF verbally bent Hangman over in front of Bret Hart. Hangman says yeah, it was when MJF was talking about a match where Hangman hit a Buckshot and threw him over the top rope. That’s the one. MJF says yeah, but what he remembers is that he won the Dynamite Diamond Ring. Who was it that he beat? Some white trash hick, but who? Does Renee remember the guy’s name?

Hangman says it was him, and it made him so mad, he had to console himself by becoming AEW World Champion instead. Oh, right, that was fantastic, lasted about six months. Tremendous work. But the thing is, it’s been well over a year for MJF. Yes, and MJF must be real proud. And he will continue to be proud of that when he’s 70 at home, alone, telling his nine cats. Oh, funny stuff. But if Hangman wants to get honest here, MJF says that out of everyone here, if there is one guy MJF thinks is The Devil, it’s Hangman. W-What? The masked guy? You think that’s Hangman running around in something from Party City?

Hangman says he has known MJF a long time, and for as long as he’s known MJF, MJF has been a manipulator. So if MJF is being honest, then Hangman wants him to admit it’s just him! MJF puts on his mask, runs around, attacks his opponents, tries to throw us off by having his goons attack him. Let’s just be honest! MJF says to be honest, he will honestly beat the hell out of Hangman. But then Joe steps in to stop this. MJF is Joe’s now, remember? And for that matter, what is wrong with you, MJF? They have more important things right now, and they do not involve Hangman. MJF says Hangman got lucky, and he heads out with Joe.

Does Hangman have a point about how deep this plot might go? Or is the Devil still someone completely unexpected?

Backstage interview with Mariah May.

Renee says it is nice to finally meet Mariah, and Mariah says it’s nice to finally meet Renee. Last week, Mariah had a meeting with Tony Khan, can she share what it was about? Well, it went very well. Tony loves Mariah, loved her work in Stardom, loves Japanese wrestling. He’s not an idiot, either, since he signed Mariah. They planned her in-ring debut, wanted to make it as good as possible, “bring some much needed glamour to AEW.” So then, when is her debut? Who is her first opponent? Renee, that is none of your business.

Because tonight is about Toni Storm! Her first title defense! Ben Macka- Mango- Manga- Mank- Ben Mankiewicz? Yes! He will be there, and Mariah will be there, watching and studying Timeless Toni Storm. Then good luck tonight. Will Storm still be the leading lady of AEW after facing the darkened Skye Blue?

 

MJF & Samoa Joe VS The Devil’s Masked Men!

The AEW World Champion has the Samoan Submission Machine watching his back so that they can both be 100% for their title match at Worlds End. However, will they both be able to make it there when we don’t even know who their opponents really are?

Wait, the lights turn off! And then there’s a lot of flashing lights, and one of the Devil’s minions is there! Wait, all four of them appear! Joe is surrounded! Joe dares them to make a move, but then the lights go out again! And when they come back on, the minions are gone! The Devil is on the tron now, and he shows footage backstage that someone already attacked MJF! MJF is down and out with a broken glass bottle beside him! Joe hurries to the back, when did the Devil get past his watchful eye?

 

Jon Moxley speaks.

His back is turned from the camera, then he looks around. “I am humble before God and my mother, but look. I know exactly who I am, I know exactly what I’m capable of. I’m 3-0, I expected to be 3-0, I expect to be 5-0, I expect to win the Continental Classic, b*tch, because I’m the Ace of the World!” But then Swerve walks in and laughs, holding up nine fingers. Swerve notes they’re each at nine points, and he says it’ll take more than a few new kick pads to stop the momentum Swerve’s on. As we saw in LA, he is willing to do whatever it takes to win. It doesn’t matter who is in his way. Remember that, aight?

Good! Moxley will do the same. Then see you in Texas, playboy. Swerve heads out, and Winter is Coming! Who will be THE leader of Gold League after this one?

 

Ben Mankiewicz IS here!

The iconic TCM host says, “Every generation, a performer comes along who redefines what it means to be human. For some, it may be Garbo, Brando, or Groucho. But for us, it’s Toni Storm. Never before has an artist incapsulated the triumph and tribulation of being a woman in professional wrestling. Her every slam brings a smile. Every piledriver paints a picture. You’ve seen her in Portrait of a Star, Lover’s Lament, and Hold That Butler. But tonight might be her greatest role of all. So sit back, chin up, and watch for the shoe.

“Playing the part of AEW Women’s World Champion, this is Timeless Toni Storm.” And with that, she makes her entrance! Will her first title defense be an instant Turner Classic?

AEW Women’s World Championships: “Timeless” Toni Storm w/ Luther & Mariah May VS Skye Blue!

Skye wrangles Storm, Storm kicks and stands but Skye wrangles her again. Storm stands back up, Skye brings her back down, but Storm uses a leg to pry the hold open. Storm wrenches and WRINGS Skye out! Fans cheer, but Skye storms up on Storm to wrench and WRING her out!

Fans rally as the two reset, and Storm shrieks and DECKS Skye! Storm stomps Skye, kicks her around, and has her on ropes. Storm brings Skye around, whips her to ropes, but Skye tilt-o-whirls to RANA!

Dynamite returns to single picture as Storm winds up again, but Skye dodges to SHOTGUN! Storm staggers about, Skye runs up to SHINING WIZARD and snapmare! Storm blocks the superkick but not the BASEMENT ROUNDHOUSE!

Fans fire up, Skye shrieks, and she runs corner to corner. Storm puts Skye on the apron, but Skye ROCKS her first! Skye climbs, and CROSSBODIES! Cover, TWO! Storm is still in this and Skye grows frustrated. Skye drags Storm up, half nelsons, but Storm fights the rest! Storm switches, and GERMAN SUPLEXES! Skye flounders to a corner, and Storm says kiss this! Storm runs in, but Skye avoids the hip attack! SUPERKICK! Skye says Storm can kiss this, and she runs in to HIP ATTACK! Skye grins, runs side to side, BOOT WASH! Then she pushes Storm out, runs, and hops on, CODE BLUE!! Cover, TWO!!!

WAIT! Riho is here! The original AEW World Women’s Champion is here, and speaking of sequels, she sees Storm with the title. Riho says she wants it back! Storm takes a swing, Riho dodges and DROPKICKS Storm to the apron! Riho builds speed but Luther gets Madame Storm away! Storm says “How DARE you!” but Riho owes Storm from when Storm was an Outcast. Will we see these two give us a true blockbuster for the holidays?

 

AEW looks closer at Edge VS Christian.

Adam Copeland didn’t know what it was like to have siblings, but with Christian, they were closer than brothers. But Captain Charisma would tell you he “tolerated” Adam being around. Edge stole Christian’s spotlight, was given the opportunities while Christian had to scratch and claw in the trenches. Christian is here to be the best, anyone else is expendable. But when you threaten Edge’s family, now there’s problems. Christian says he is the Face of TNT and the Face of AEW then, now and forever! But Edge promises, that while Montreal’s seen some fights over the years, they’ve never seen one like this.

 

AEW Continental Classic, Gold League: Jay White VS Jay Lethal!

We heard from both Jays earlier tonight about the history behind this match. Will White make Lethal #BreatheWithTheSwitchblade? Or will we all be reminded of those glory days in ROH when Lethal finally scores in this tournament?

The bell rings and we’re on the clock. Fans chant “JAY! JAY! JAY!” and White claims those are all for him. Lethal steps up, and gets boos? Maybe those really are all for White… The Jays tie up, are in a deadlock, and they go around. White powers Lethal to a corner but Lethal powers White back. They break, fans applaud, and the Jays reset. They tie up, Lethal headlocks but White slips out the back to headlock in return. But Lethal powers his way out to then headlock White again. White powers out again, headlocks back, but Lethal wrenches and headlocks for a takeover. White rolls it to go for a leg, but Lethal kicks him away!

White returns, headlocks for a takeover, but Lethal headscissors. White kips free, but he backs off as Lethal goes for another headlock. So Lethal decides to strut. But White CLUBS him! Fans boo, White CHOPS Lethal, and then White struts. White CHOPS, whips, but Lethal reverses. Lethal hip tosses, handsprings and drop toeholds to then step over, La Magistrol! TWO!

The ref counts, both men let go at 4 and White lets Lethal out of the leglock. Lethal goes to a corner, White storms up to CHOP! Lethal CHOPS back! White CHOPS again! Lethal CHOPS again! Lethal JABS, JABS and JABS, but White gets a leg! Lethal holds onto ropes, White still GROUND DRAGON SCREWS! White then drags Lethal up, scoops, and SLAMS him! White goes to the corner and climbs up, mocking Black Machismo. Dynamite returns and fans are singing “OH JAY~! OH JAY, OH JAY, OH JAY~! OH JAAAY~, OH JAAAY~!” And Lethal CHOPS White! Lethal then climbs up but White throws hands!

Lethal and White brawl up top, White CLUBS away on Lethal’s back, then DECKS him! White gets off the corner, swings but into the LETHAL COMBINATION! Fans chant “HOLY JAY!” while both men are down. The standing count starts, White rolls his way to a corner. Fans hope they “JAY FOREVER!” as Lethal runs up, but White BOOTS him! White runs in, Lethal blocks, slips around and LARIATS! White bails out so Lethal builds speed to DIVE! Direct hit into the desk! Lethal puts White in, White hurries, but Lethal clinches! BACKBREAKER to TORTURE RACK! It’s an AR-JAY-TINIAN BACKBREAKER!

Fans fire up as Lethal uses that to hit a ROLLING SENTON! Lethal then goes right up, MACHO ELBOW! Cover, TWO!! White survives and Lethal argues with the ref! The ref defends his count was fair, so Lethal refocuses and takes aim. But White anchors a leg! Lethal CLUBS and CHOPS White, then BOOTS him! And ROLLING KICKS! White goes to a corner, Lethal runs in but White dodges! White blocks a boot to JAM the leg! Lethal hobbles, but into a CORNER HALF HATCH! White then drags Lethal up to suplex, BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Lethal is still in this, and White might be having a flashback to ROH.

White drags Lethal up, “This is Awesome!” as White clinches. Lethal fights it, swings, but into a sleeper! Lethal elbows free, White CHOPS! Lethal CHOPS! White CHOPS again! Lethal grits his teeth, to CHOP! White CHOPS, but both men go for eyes again! The ref reprimands, White swings blind, but Lethal dodges! Lethal swings, but White catches him and brings him around, SNAP SLEEPER SUPLEX! White then gets Lethal back up, clinches, but Lethal shoves him away! White comes back, Lethal dodges, LETHAL IN- NO, White blocks to clinch! But Lethal slips around, O’Conner Roll! TWO!!

White gets up, Lethal handsprings, but White CHOP BLOCKS first!! Lethal hobbles, White hurries after him, clinch and BLADE- ROLL UP! White rolls through to have the prawn hold, WHITE WINS!!

Winner: Jay White, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Lethal earns 0)

Even White has to double check! He got that win, it’s why his music is playing! And now, like Briscoe before him, Lethal is mathematically ELIMINATED from the running! White goes 2-1 in the tournament, he goes 2-1 all time against Lethal, but will he still have to scratch and claw his way to the top of the block?

AEW TNT Championship: Christian Cage VS Adam “Edge” Copeland!

It has been more than 13 YEARS since these two have been 1v1, and it cost them their FORTY YEARS of friendship! They were once a tag team that reeked of awesomeness, but now they will wreak havoc in Montreal! Who leaves here the Face of TNT, the Face of AEW and the Face of Canada?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is left standing after throwing it all away!

The bell rings and the two stare down as fans sing “OLE~ OLE OLE OLE~! OLE~, OLE~!” Christian and Edge get face to face, the fans are losing their minds just seeing this. Edge then SLAPS Christian, and gets him for a SLEEPER! Christian flails, fights around, and then gets the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Edge lets off, and Christian goes to the apron. But then Edge grabs Christian on the ropes, shoutout to the Celtic Warrior with BEATS OF THE BODHRAIN! Fans fire up as Edge goes all the way to TEN! Then he runs to BLAST Christian off the apron and to the railing! Fans fire up again as Edge stands tall.

Edge goes out after Christian now, stalks him and SMACKS him off the desk! There goes the WOOOOO Energy! Edge SMACKS Christian off the desk again, and again! Fans are fired up as Edge just dribbles Christian off the desktop! Edge puts Christian in, and Christian wants mercy? Fans boo, this is of course a ploy. Edge storms up, but he blocks the low blow! And then STOMPS that hand! Christian writhes and the fans fire up! Edge SLAMS the hand off the mat, then bends the fingers! Edge SNAPS the fingers, shoutout to the Bruiserweight. Christian bails out, Edge pursues again, and he RAMS Christian into railing!

Edge drags Christian up to RAM into more railing! Edge then brings Christian around, and whips him hard into more railing! Christian sits in the corner, Edge refreshes the ring count, and he BOOTS Christian! Fans chant “Who’s Your Daddy?” at Christian “The Patriarch.” Edge throws forearms, the fans are loving it, and Edge CLUBS Christian. Edge POSTS Christian, grabs at him again, but Christian JABS Edge, then YANKS him into the post! Edge falls back, clutching throat and shoulder, but Christian runs him and TOSSES him! Christian demands a ring count while Dynamite goes picture in picture!

Christian returns to the ring, the ref counts, and Christian wants it faster. The ref stays consistent and the fans rally for Edge. The count passes 5, hurries up and over at 7, and then slides in at 9.9!! Christian stomps away on Edge, the ref reprimands but Christian stands on Edge’s neck! Christian steps away at 4, drags Edge up, and mocks the neck pain. To then hit a NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Edge is still in this so Christian rains down shots! Christian shakes out the bad hand, and he CHOKES Edge now! The ref reprimands, Christian lets off and he flexes. Christian stomps Edge to a corner, then CHOKES him on the ropes!

The ref reprimands, Christian lets off, but then stands on Edge to CHOKE him! The ref counts again, Christian lets off, only to come back and CHOKE Edge more! The ref warns Christian, Christian lets off, and he soaks up the heat. Christian drags Edge from the ropes, then stomps him. Dynamite returns to single picture as Christian ELBOWS Edge in the head. Christian fishhooks Edge, pulls him back against a knee, but fans rally up. Edge endures, fights around, and bends the fingers! Edge CLUBS the hand, runs, but Christian ELBOWS Edge down! Fans boo but Christian soaks it all up.

Christian drags Edge up, fans tell him off, but Christian ignores that to put Edge in a corner. Christian pie faces Edge, talks trash, then climbs up. Christian rains down left hand punches, but Edge BITES the right hand! The ref counts, Edge stops and he gets up and around, SUPER RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Both men are down and the fans fire up! Christian flounders away to the apron, Edge rises up and runs in, but Christian steps aside to KICK Edge in the ropes! Christian gets in the ropes, but Edge blocks the pendulum kick! Edge goes to the apron, and he HOTSHOTS Christian in the ropes! Edge then goes up a corner!

Christian stands up, turns around, Edge FLYING LARIATS Christian onto the apron! Both men hit the floor and the fans fire up again! The ring count starts, Edge and Christian crawl around at 3 and Edge stands. But Christian drop toeholds Edge into steel steps! Christian puts Edge in, goes up a corner, and he FROG SPLASHES! Cover, TWO!! Christian grows frustrated, but then he copies Edge by aiming from the corner.

Edge rains down forearms on Christian! Fans count along, Edge throws down five heavy shots before he lets off.

Edge then has a wild look in his eyes as he goes to a corner. Fans fire up as Edge takes aim. Christian rises, as do the fans, and Edge- NO, Christian hurdles the spear, KILLSWITCH!!! Cover, TWO?!?! Edge survives and shocks everyone! Christian hurries to a corner, he takes aim now, and Edge rises. Christian runs in, but Edge moves and the Spear hits buckles! But Edge ends up taking the ref down with him! Christian LOW BLOWS the ref for good measure!! Christian then hurries to grab the belt! Christian aims at Edge as he rises, but Edge avoids the belt shot! Christian avoids Edge, they DOUBLE SPEAR!!! Both men go down hard!!

Fans are thunderous as Edge and Christian flounder, and wait! Shayna Wayne is here! She has beef with both men over what they’ve done to her son, and she grabs the belt. She looks to Edge, remembering the Con-Chair-To, but she looks at Christian remembering how he’s manipulated Nick. Christian begs for mercy, and she BELT SHOTS Edge!!! Fans boo as Shayna chooses the wrong man! Shayna composes herself, takes her leave, and Christian drags Edge up. Chicken wings, and KILLSWITCH!! Christian holds up the belt, then puts Edge’s face on it! Christian STOMPS Edge’s face into the belt!!! Cover, Christian wins!

Winner: Christian Cage, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)

Fans are furious and devastated! Christian survives his grudge match with Edge, and may have done irreparable damage, both physically and emotionally. Is there nothing that can stop The Patriarchy?


My Thoughts:

A great Dynamite for AEW’s Montreal debut, all killer no filler. And oh look, a Montreal Screwjob. Granted, it works in story and I totally expected it to happen, but wow, Shayna Wayne screwing over Edge over the Con-Chair-To when it’s her son who decided to follow Christian Cage and turn into a jackass. But this can’t be the end of it, only the next phase, and maybe we get an even wilder TNT Championship match for Worlds End in three weeks. Because in the end, it still has to be Luchasaurus who screws Christian over to assert his independence.

I should’ve figured they were going to find a way to not give us MJF & Joe VS Devil’s Minions. Great promo from MJF and Hangman with Joe stopping that fight, and the minions being distractions while The Devil himself more than likely attacked MJF. A little surprised Joe’s response promo wasn’t this week, but there’s a good chance he and MJF both speak next week. And Roddy had a really good promo, he and Hangman are going to have a great match, can’t wait to see how this factors into the mystery of The Devil’s identity.

I cannot believe and I absolutely love that they got THE Ben Mankiewicz to do a TCM introduction for Toni Storm. Great match from Storm with Skye, but of course Storm wins out. I do appreciate it was clean, too, but really close with just a quick pin finishing it. And Riho coming back is awesome, she and Storm will have a great title match for Worlds End to really add to Storm’s third reign. An interesting detail was Mariah May being out there to start, but then disappeared during the course of the match. Is Mariah just getting close to Storm just so she can snatch that title away from her? That’d be pretty clever, really.

And great stuff in the Continental Classic again, though rather surprising we’re crossing off people in the third week. Moxley and Swerve are going strong, and White makes a great rebound. But that means Mark and Lethal are done already, just fighting to spoil other runs, and probably fighting to not be last place. Great interaction between Moxley and Swerve as the leaders of Gold League, and their match next week on Winter is Coming will be wild. Moxley said he’s all beat up, Swerve has been hot through the Hangman feud, I’m thinking Swerve should take this one to just dominate the Gold League.

My Score: 8.9/10

BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!

While Pac goes down with an Achilles injury, The Death Riders will still defend their AEW World Trios Championships using some Freebird Rules! Jon Moxley steps in, will he, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta keep the reign of terror going? Or can The Opps free the trios titles from their death grip?

 

FTR is here!

Speaking of those titles, Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler are here after failing to win the AEW World Trios Championships, and then brutalizing The Rated R Superstar! Adam Copeland had to be stretchered out of the arena in Philadelphia on Sunday, and FTR gets booed by Springfield, Massachusetts here tonight. Cash has a mic to say, “What happened Sunday, that wasn’t an easy decision for me. And despite what you might think, it was not premeditated. Adam Copeland has been one of my best friends, he has been my mentor, for 15 YEARS, before I even really knew Dax Harwood!”

The fans boo but Cash says the more Dax talked, the more sense he made. The more sense it made, the more it pissed Cash off, because he wanted Dax to be wrong. But Cash could feel it, he could feel that he was wrong. The more he watched the moves Cope made backstage, the more he moved against FTR’s careers, the more Cash understood that Cope only cared about Cope. Cope held FTR down! He held them down to lift himself up! So in Philly, when Cash saw Dax sitting here, Cope laying here, in that moment… It just clicked. Cash knew what had to happen, and that he’d have to be the one to do it!

The fans boo more but Cash says Cope may have trained him as a young man, but that’s all Cope ever saw! That helpless kid! And Cash is not that anymore. Cope did not respect Cash as a man! And if you disrespect him, you have to pay. FTR are living legends! They will be treated as such! Dax says he knows that it is the “cool” thing to do, so you feel like you’re somebody, you feel like you’re involved. It’s cool to boo FTR when they talk, that’s “cool” in 2025. The fans didn’t reach their dreams, so now they make their own. But just let Dax say this one thing and then they can do this charade.

“Last week, I saw a sign in the crowd that said, ‘Why, FTR, Why?’ And as cliche as that is, I though to myself, ‘Well, why not?’ Instead of asking us why, you should be thanking us! You should be thanking us because we gave Adam Copeland everything he wanted. Adam Copeland was begging for relevancy in 2025 at the expense of the ABSOLUTE BEST TAG TEAM IN THIS WORLD, and we gave it to him!” The fans chant, “You Sold Out!” and Dax asks back, “How did I sell out, you idiots? I didn’t make any money off of this.” But over the last week, Dax has been wracking his brain on what to say over what he could say to the fans and be justified.

And then it clicked! Dax doesn’t care if anyone agrees with FTR! What FTR did was right. The fans boo, but Dax says even though FTR doesn’t own anyone an explanation, let’s have fun here. They’ll run down the list. For four MONTHS, they waited. Four months, nothing to do, they were irrelevant for four months. The only thing planned for them was to be Cope’s new Edgeheads. They put FTR’s career on hold so Cope could chase his glory days and win one more world title, holding on to a sliver of hope that he might still be the man. Dax tells Adam, “We’ve won ten world titles across seven worldwide brands, and YOU want us to take a backseat to you!?

“You’re selfish! Too damn selfish to see where the issue is! And I wanted nothing more, I wanted nothing more than Adam Copeland to end his career side-by-side with FTR and ride off into the sunset. But just like every wrestler in Adam Copeland’s position, you’re TOO DAMN SELFISH!” The fans boo, Dax tells them they paid money to see him so sit down and shut up. Just work out even once, buddy! Dax understands there are a lot of people in the back not happy with FTR. And that there are some people out here not happy with them. Tony Schiavone, come on over here. The fans boo, but Dax promises Schiavone that he just wants to talk.

Nigel isn’t so sure, but Schiavone says he has things he needs to say, too. The fans are torn, but Schiavone goes to the ring. Dax tells Schiavone to be careful now, don’t fall getting in. But this week on Dynamite, Schiavone had some choice words for FTR. Funny that they were hundreds of miles away at the time. But now, face to face, would Schiavone like to say something? Schiavone says yes, and he says that they were wrong to do that to Cope. The fans cheer, Schiavone points out that when FTR arrived, the fans all loved FTR. FTR revived tag team wrestling. But in one fell swoop, they turned their backs on the man who helped them in their career.

Dax stops Schiavone there, laughing that off. So there was one other thing Schiavone said, and he doesn’t quite remember. Dax is pretty sure it had to do with Dax’s family? Yes… Schiavone says Dax’s daughter, a wonderful young lady, Straight A student… How did she feel on Monday when her friends told her that her dad turned on one of his best friends? Dax paces, and then he drags Schiavone into position! The fans boo, but Nigel stands up! FTR sees that, and the fans cheer as Nigel storms off commentary! Nigel gets in the ring to get Schiavone to safety, and he also told Schiavone he knew this would happen.

FTR warns Nigel now, but here comes Daniel Garcia! He steps to them, but FTR SHOVES him down! Then they realize what they did, and they apologize. They don’t have anything against Garcia, they’re sorry. They help Garcia stand up, then they hug Garcia…? The fans boo, and Garcia has no idea what to make of this. FTR leaves, Schiavone & Nigel go back to commentary, and Garcia makes sure Schiavone is okay. The fans cheer Garcia, Schiavone says he had to say what he said. Will the Top Guys be the absolute worst from now on?

 

Toni Storm speaks.

“Megan Bayne is a monster. That woman has so much thigh meat, I thought I was being mugged on Thanksgiving. Nevertheless, I don’t need to tell you that this whore you all adore, this slut you can’t rebut, this tramp is still the champ! But enough of this gay banter. The Owen Hart Cup has begun, and the winner goes on to All In: Texas for a shot at the AEW Women’s World Championship. Ladies, good luck. But this is a timeless cafe, and I’m gonna bake up the biggest batch of slop tarts you’ve ever seen! Billie Starkz, you Johnny Come Lately, milk-breathed, knobby kneed little brat. I will make a woman out of you.

“Harley Cameron. Call me Jim Henson, because I will wear you on my wrist and make you sing Rainbow Connection.” Schiavone? Toni says that’s the wrong slide, next! “Mercedes Money, our CEO. What an unfortunate nickname. I will drain your 401K and put you so deep into recession, you’ll have to drink my bath water. Kris Statlander. My God, what a woman! Athena. You may be the ROH Forever Champion, but you’ll last about two minutes with me. And Jamie Hayter, take my advice: No money has ever been made from dressing like you’re in a different era.

“And as for me, I could sit at home and watch this entire tournament eating veal parmesana, but that’s not the kind of woman I am, yet. Nevertheless, at Double or Nothing, I will be there, I will be watching, I will be sweating, and I will always be… TIMELESS~!” The champion has put all of her contenders on notice, but who will even make it out of the first round of this star-studded tournament?

 

2025 Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Opening Round: Jamie Hayter VS Billie Starkz!

Well, speaking of those challengers, we have two here to finally kick off the action! Hayter and Billie went a round already, but will it be a repeat performance? Or will this be a Starkz contrast from last time?

The bell rings and the fans rally. Jamie rushes Billie but Billie dodges the boot. Jamie ducks Billie’s heel kick, then shoves Billie to ropes. Billie ducks, whips, but Jamie ducks ‘n’ dodges. Billie sees the lariat coming and backs off! Jamie smirks and the fans cheer. Billie comes back, offers a handshake, but Jamie isn’t so sure. Jamie accepts, but Billie whips! Jamie ducks ‘n’ dodges, Billie drops down then HEEL KICKS! Jamie goes down in a heap, seems it isn’t just Hayter who hits hard! Jamie goes to the apron, Billie storms up, but Billie bobs ‘n’ weaves to then sweep the legs! Billie SUPERKICKS Jamie, then runs, and DIVES into a forearm!

The fans fire up and Jamie brushes off the biceps. Jamie whips Billie hard into railing, then drags her up to whip her into more- NO, Billie goes up, but Jamie catches her to TOSS her over! Billie is in the timekeeper’s area while the fans fire up! Jamie refreshes the ring count, fetches Billie, but Billie HOTSHOTS her off railing! Billie then climbs onto the railing, and the fans fire up as Billie SWANTON BOMBS Jamie on the floor! The fans fire up and Billie hurries to put Jamie in the ring. Billie then climbs the corner and the fans rally up again. Jamie anchors a foot, Billie CLUBS Jamie, but Jamie CLUBS Billie.

Jamie climbs up after Billie, but Billie SHOVES her down! Billie adjusts, DIVING- NO, Jamie dodges the stomp! Billie blocks the kick, to KNEE her! Billie suplexes, Jamie lands out to whip! Billie bounces off buckles, and into a SPIENBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Billie is tougher than that but Jamie stomps her around. Jamie bumps Billie off buckles, digs her boots in, then hits a snap suplex! Billie writhes, Jamie covers, ONE!! Jamie kneels on Billie’s head, then steps off. Billie flounders, Jamie drags her up, but Billie fires hands! Jamie throws Billie by her hair! The ref reprimands but the fans cheer while Billie goes to the apron.

Jamie kicks Billie to the floor, then mockingly counts really fast, but Collision goes picture in picture.

Jamie applauds, but the ref says his count isn’t even close to over. Jamie goes out to fetch Billie, then SMACKS Her off the apron! Jamie puts Billie in the ring, then clamps on a chinlock. Billie endures as Jamie grinds her down. Billie fights up, fires body shots, but Jamie CLUBS her down. Jamie drags Billie up, bumps her off buckles again and again and again, and again and again and again, and again and again and again! Jamie finally stops as the ref counts 4, and Billie is in a daze. Jamie whips Billie corner to corner hard, then storms up to fire forearms. Jamie ROCKS Billie and she sits down. Jamie digs her boots in, but the ref counts.

Jamie steps off, then drags Billie up. Jamie whips Billie corner to corner again, then runs up, but Billie BOOTS her away! Billie HEEL- NO, Jamie blocks that kick! Jamie steps over to power Billie down into the HALF CRAB! Collision returns to single picture as Billie endures! Billie powers up, reaches out, and the fans rally as she fights forward! Billie rolls and sends Jamie into buckles! Billie hobbles, runs back in, but Jamie dodges! Billie ELBOWS Jamie, BOOTS her, then goes up, but Jamie stops the boot! Billie rebounds to ENZIGIRI! Billie sweeps the legs and deadlift GERMAN SUPLEXES! Bridging cover, TWO!

The fans fire up as Jamie stays in this, and Billie slaps herself to focus again. Billie snarls, drags Jamie up, and Billie suplexes. Jamie fights it, fires knees, then gets free, Jamie blocks a lariat, but Billie ducks the other! DRAGON SUPLEX! Billie then shifts to have a CHINBAR HALF NELSON COMBO! Jamie endures as Billie even bends her against a knee! Jamie fights up, snapmares free, and KNEES Billie down! Cover, TWO! Jamie drags Billie up, whips her, and fireman’s carries! USHIGOROSHI! Billie sputters, Jamie runs, SLIDING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Billie survives and Jamie is shocked!

The fans rally up while Jamie throws off her wristbands. Jamie says time to end it! Jamie stands Billie up, fires forearm after forearm, and Billie flops over. The fans fire up, Jamie kisses the bicep, and she stands Billie up. SPRINGBOARD HAYT- NO, Billie ducks and backslides! ONE!! Billie suplexes, GHOSTBUSTER!! Cover, TWO?!?! Jamie survives and Billie is beside herself! The fans rally up and Billie goes back to the corner. Billie climbs, aims, and SWANTON BOMBS!! Cover, TWO!! Hayter survives again and Billie is shocked! The fans rally even harder, and Billie looks to the trophy. Billie stalks Jamie to the apron, then stomps her down.

Billie goes out to bring Jamie up, and she CLUBS her! Billie ROCKS Jamie, reels her in, but Jamie fights the lift! Jamie lifts Billie, Billie fights that! Jamie HEADBUTTS Billie, and Billie holds onto the ropes. Jamie reels Billie in, SUPLEX TO THE FLOOR! Springfield goes nuts while both women are down! The ref checks and both women are somehow still in this. The ring starts, “This is Awesome!” as both women stir at 4 of 10. Jamie rises up at 7, Billie at 8, and both women spring in at 9! The fans fire up as this continues! Billie and Jamie rise up again, and Jamie ROCKS Billie! Billie comes back to ROCK Jamie!

Jamie comes back to ROCK Billie, but Billie fires a flurry! Billie winds up, but Jamie SUPERKICKS! And ENZIGIRIS! Jamie whips, clinches, but Billie stuffs it! Jamie powers through to HATE BREAKER!! And then HAYTERADE!! Cover, Jamie wins!

Winner: Jamie Hayter, by pinfall (advances to the next round)

Billie put on another incredible fight, but it was still not enough to reach that next level! Hayter Hits Hard, but will she have to hit even harder going up against Kris Statlander?

 

The Death Riders speak.

Claudio Castagnoli says, “When we started this war, we fully expected casualties. But we do not mourn, because only in death does duty end. Now, we’re not gonna hide. We’re still gonna be front and center! So  Joe, yes, we’re gonna accept that challenge!” Claudio rants in German, then says at Spring Breakthru, it’s on. They do not concede territory! Marina Shafir holds up Pac’s belt, and Moxley says, “What a learning experience this will be for generational punk ass play wrestlers who don’t wanna show up to work. There’s plenty of money, championships, glory, victory, and it’s all on the frontline.

“If you want it, that’s where you gotta be. You gotta step in, step up, put yourself in harm’s way. Samoa Joe, Shibata-san, you guys know that. What’re you teaching sweet young Hook? Hook… Don’t worry. Relax. It’s the biggest match of your life. But trust me… Chicks dig scars.” Wheeler Yuta smirks, and shows his scar. Will the Death Riders find The Opps are in fact lacking?

 

The Gates of Agony VS Smash ‘n’ Burn!

Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona have been dominating for a long time, but they’re still waiting on their opportunity. Will this be

The teams sort out, Kaun starts against Juni Underwood, and KNEES him, to then BACKBREAKER, and RUNNING SUPLEX! Kaun puts Juni in the corner.

Kaun applauds his opponents, and Liona laughs. “We hurt people, too!” Is that a not so subtle message sent to the AEW World Tag Team Champions?

 

Backstage interview with FTR.

Lexy Nair finds Cash & Dax on their way out and asks for a moment. After what they did to Cope- Wait, 2Point0 barges in! Matt Menard & Angelo Parker excuse Lexy, and they say FTR must think they’re pretty slick. They’ve got the wool pulled over Danny’s eyes. But 2Point0 sees through the BS, and they’ll be damned if they let FTR put Garcia in the same position as Cope. FTR try to speak but Menard says no, it’s their time to talk. A year and a half, Menard has been waiting for this. A YEAR AND A HALF, and FTR finally exposed themselves! FTR thinks they can do this to Garcia? Dax tries to speak but Menard tells him to shut his gaddamn mouth!

This is 2Point0’s time! Understand that they won’t sit by and see what happened to Cope happen to Garcia! FTR asks if they want to fight. Yeah, they do! Okay, FTR will fight 2Point0 tonight, with Garcia ringside. Garcia is a grown man, he can make his own decisions. #TopGuysOut. Cash & Dax go back to the locker room, will they take out Daddy Magic & Cool Hand Ange?

 

Anthony Bowens w/ Billy Gunn VS Blake Christian w/ Lee Johnson!

The 5 Tool Player made his return at Dynasty, and he added on to Platinum Max’s losing streak. But will Bowens finally prove himself worthy of gold all his own? Or will the Vanilla Babyface get all heat for ruining things?

The “Molly Whop” is just as it sounds, Bowens put the beating on the Vanilla Babyface! Bowens has a mic and he wants Springfield to make some noise! The fans cheer, and Bowens says, “This has been a long time coming, and it’s time to level up. Because what you see before you is AEW’s Five Tool Player! The perfect combination of power, athleticism, intelligence, the look, and the it factor. And I am the Pride of Professional Wrestling, baby! And I don’t need a government trademark to prove I’m the best. I’m gonna prove it to you every single week, right here! So the last question is: Who will step up to the plate next and get their ass Molly Whopped by THE Five Tool Player?!”

Mic drop from Bowens, will he use all his tools and all this momentum to hit homerun after homerun?

 

2v1 Handicap: Megan Bayne w/ Penelope Ford VS LMK & Kelly Madan!

The Megasus may not be AEW Women’s World Champion, but he will not stop after one failure. And now, to satisfy her anger, she’s taking on two opponents at once! Will everyone bow down, no matter who they are or how many there are?

The Jet didn’t win in his Owen Hart Cup match, and he came up short on the NJPW Strong Openweight Tag Team Championships in Chicago just last night, but he did win his part of $400,000 on Dynamite.

The Jet Liner takes Knight to the winner’s circle! But with Best of the Super Juniors around the corner, will Knight be #The1ULookUp2?

 

The Gates of Agony speak.

Bishop Kaun applauds, and he says, “That was impressive, wasn’t it? We’re back. And we’re not even hurt. But we don’t mind being hurt.” Toa Liona says, “We don’t.” Kaun says they actually love being hurt! Hurt Syndicate! You hurt people? This Wednesday on Dynamite, the Gates would love to see you try. Hurt Syndicate hurts people? The Gates of Agony BREAK people! See you in Boston! Will Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin still be standing when Kaun & Liona #OpenTheGates?

 

FTR VS 2Point0!

Dax & Cash want to still be Daniel Garcia’s friends, but Menard & Parker have been Garcia’s friends this whole time. Daddy Magic & Cool Hand Ange have always felt something was off, will they finally take the Top Guys out?

Speaking of Garcia, he makes his way out, as invited by FTR. He still seems to be upset and unsure given FTR lashing out earlier, but he’s still ringside. The teams sort out and Dax BLASTS Parker off the apron! Dax beats up on Menard and then Cash runs up to CLOBBER Parker! The fans boo as Cash sends Parker into railing! And apron! And railing again! And then more railing! Cash stands over Parker, Dax stands over Menard, and Garcia can only watch. Parker gets up to CHOP Cash, Cash hits back! Menard’s already busted open as Dax beats on him! Cash CHOPS Parker, Menard wobbles, but Dax ROCKS Menard!

Cash CHOKES Parker against railing, Dax DECKS Menard, and the fans boo. Dax sits Menard up, and again Garcia can only watch this as Dax hammers away on Menard’s head. Cash then sends Parker into the steel steps! Dax puts Menard in a corner, tells Garcia that this isn’t personal, 2Point0 signed up for this. The fans rally for “DADDY MAGIC!” but Dax throws more fists! Menard is a bloody mess as Dax punches away! The ref backs Dax off, Menard stands like a zombie, and he ROCKS Dax! And ROCKS him again! Menard ROCKS Dax again and again and again in the corner! The fans love it, but Cash storms in to go after Menard!

Cash pulls hair, but Menard DECKS him, too! Menard flounders, Dax LARIATS him down! Parker storms in but Dax has him up! SHATTER MACHINE!! Dax tags Cash, and now they get Menard up. MIND BREAKER!! But they’re not done?! Garcia says c’mon already! FTR still gets Menard up for another MIND BREAKER!! They won’t stop, they get Menard back up! Garcia gets on the apron, he wants the ref to step in already! FTR apologize and they set Menard down. Cover, FTR wins!

Winners: FTR, by pinfall

Garcia is still furious, and he storms into the ring. He checks on Menard, then he gets in Dax’s face! Dax & Cash want Garcia to calm down. They did hear him out in the end there. Garcia says it shouldn’t have taken that! FTR leaves, Garcia helps Menard stand, but then FTR returns! They CLOBBER Garcia! They beat Garcia down while the fans boo! FTR get Garcia up, MIND BREAKER!!! And then they get him back up!? MIND BREAKER!!! The ref shouts at them to stop, the fans boo as hard as they can, but FTR hauls Garcia up again! Security rushes in to stop this! Dax DECKS the ref!! That’s another fine right there!

The fans boo, security try to stop FTR, but FTR gets Garcia up again! BUT WAIT! The Undisputed Kingdom rush in! The paragons of wrestling will not let this injustice continue! They run FTR off, but FTR says they should watch their backs now. Who else will FTR violently disrespect as they demand we respect them?

 

2025 Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Opening Round: Athena VS Harley Cameron!

The LONGEST REIGNING champion in ROH history, and yes that is champion bar none, male or female, is finally getting her shot at history here in AEW. She could very well become a new Double Champion should she win all the way to Double or Nothing and then All In: Texas. But she must first get past one wild Aussie! Will Athena #FeelTheWrath of Harley Cameron? Or will the Fallen Goddess, the Minion Overlord, the American Joshi, simply add Harley’s name to the long, long list of fallen opponents?

The bell rings and the fans rally up. Athena and Harley circle, feel things out, then tie up. Athena powers Harley to the corner, but she lets off quickly. Harley storms up, Athena shoves her back, then Athena pats Harley on the head. Athena soaks up heat, but Harley headlocks. Athena powers up and out, drops down, but Harley drop toeholds! Harley pats Athena on the head! The fans cheer and Athena says okay, that’s fair. Athena then runs up to roll Harley up, TWO! Harley trips Athena, jackknife bridges, TWO! Athena sunset flips, TWO! Harley high stacks, TWO and Athena sunset flips again, TWO! The fans fire up as the two stand off!

Harley and Athena reset, Athena applauds for Harley, then headlocks! Harley endures the grind, powers out to headlock in return, and now Athena endures. Athena powers up and out to send Harley tot he corner. Athena runs in, Harley slips out to the apron, and Harley blocks a shot to ROUNDHOUSE! Athena staggers, Harley brings her into the ropes to CLUB her! And CHOKE her! The fans fire up, the ref counts, and Harley stops at 4. Harley waistlocks, but Athena fights the lift! Athena runs to the post to HOTSHOT Harley! Then APRON BACK SUPLEX! Athena then wheelbarrows Harley to GERMAN SUPLEX to the floor!

The fans fire up and Athena smiles. The ref checks Harley, she’s okay to continue, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Athena stomps Harley, drags her up, and sends her into steel steps! Harley sputters, Athena refreshes the ring count, and she CLUBS Harley. Harley staggers away, Athena stands her up and ROCKS her! Athena CLUBS away on Harley, pushes her into the ring, and then storms up, but into a cradle! TWO!! Athena escapes, BOOTS Harley down, and scowls. Athena stalks Harley, drags her up, and KNEES her in the side! Athena stalks Harley some more, KNEES her in the side, and then has Harley in the corner. Athena RAMS into Harley, RAMS into her again, then RAMS again! Athena pushes Harley along the ropes but the ref reprimands.

Athena ROCKS Harley, but Harley ROCKS Athena! Athena brings Harley up but Harley ROCKS her again! Athena clamps on a GUILLOTINE FACELOCK! Then she suplexes high and hard! Athena kips up, fires up, and Collision goes to break.

Collision returns as Athena has Harley in a Bow ‘n’ Arrow stretch! Harley endures, pries at the facelock portion, but Athena thrashes Harley. Harley pops free to a cover, TWO! Athena knees low, whips, but Harley reverses to RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! The fans fire up, Harley brings Athena up, but Athena shoves her away. SOBAT! LEG SWEEP! Athena runs, and SUPERKICKS! Cover, TWO! Harley survives and Athena grows frustrated. Athena stalks Harley to ropes, KICKS her in the side, then brings her up to scoop and carry her! Athena puts Harley in the Tree of Woe, then KICKS! KICKS! And KICKS!

The ref counts, Athena backs off, and Athena cheers herself on. Athena runs, but Harley sits up over the sweep! Harley KICKS from upside-down, then wrenches to NECKBREAKER! The fans fire up, Harley runs up, and LARIATS! ENZIGIRI! Harley brings Athena up to BULLDOG HOTSHOT, and then Harley fires off on Athena in the ropes! The fans fire up, the ref counts, Harley shots “FEEL THE WRATH!” AX KICK! Athena falls back, Harley storms in and goes up the corner. Harley aims, leaps, CROSSBODY! Athena rolls through to scoop Harley! The fans fire up as Athena pops Harley up, but Harley fights! Harley RANAS!

Athena survives but Harley won’t give up! “This is Awesome!” as Harley and Athena both slowly rise.

Winner: Athena, by pinfall (advances to the next round)

Athena stays undefeated in any and all kinds of matches, and she holds up her ROH Women’s World Championship, as well as her spinner belt variant. But now she runs into Mercedes Mone, their battle set for Boston and the Dynamite edition of Spring Breakthru! Will Mone win in her hometown to head for Double or Nothing? Or will Athena derail the Money Train and be that much closer to a match in her hometown of Arlington, Texas?

 

Mercedes Mone speaks.

“Springfieeeeeld~! Sorry the Money Train skipped your pathetic town. But then next stop for me in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament is in my hometown of Boston. That’s right, it was a little over a year ago where I made my AEW debut in the City of Champions. It was in that very moment that I had the biggest dream of holding all the championship gold! And now the Money Train is only two stops away from All In: Texas. And Athena, you are just a speedbump on my track to success. The Forever ROH Champion, Athena, you are one of the very best of all time, and you proved that tonight against Harley Cameron.

“But you’re competing against me, Four Belts Mone, the greatest TBS Champion of all time. So this Wednesday at Dynamite, I am going to show you why Money Changes Everything. And the best woman will win, and that woman is me, darling.” Mone is ready, but will she put her money where her mouth is against the Fallen Goddess?

 

2025 Men’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Opening Round: Konosuke Takeshita VS Brody King w/ Julia Hart!

Just last night for NJPW Windy City Riot, The Alpha just went toe-to-toe with The Ace, Hiroshi Tanahashi, as part of the Ace Final Road series. And as big as that moment was, this could be even bigger! Konosuke wants to fulfill Don Callis’ prophecy of a “Proto-shita” finals at Double or Nothing, will he be one step closer to realizing that dream match? Or will the King of Death end The Alpha right here and now?

The bell rings and the fans fire up already. The two tie up, are in a deadlock, and Brody powers Konosuke to a corner. The ref counts, Brody lets off slowly, but Konosuke avoids the chop! Konosuke headlocks, Brody powers up and out, and they RAM shoulders! Neither man falls and the fans fire up! Brody swings, Konosuke dodges to come back and ROCK Brody! Brody comes back, runs through the CHOP, then RAMS Konosuke! Konosuke rebounds, ducks the lariat, and he returns again, but Brody’s CHOP knocks him down! The fans bark for Brody and he drags Konosuke up. Brody scoops, Konosuke slips free, but Brody fires elbows!

Brody switches to hit a BIG back suplex! The fans fire up, and Brody has Konosuke in a corner. Brody CHOPS and the fans fire up! The Princess of the Black Throne smiles as Brody fires forearms and CHOPS! The fans fire up more as Brody whips corner to corner. Konosuke hits buckles hard then falls in a heap! Brody huffs ‘n’ puffs, runs up, but Konosuke avoids a senton! Konosuke goes up to SECOND ROPE SENTON! The fans fire up while Brody bails out. Brody is on the apron, Konosuke storms up to ROCK him! Konosuke ROCKS Brody again, then runs, but Brody BOOTS him! Konosuke drops to his knees, Brody hauls him up and suplexes!

Konosuke lands safe on the apron and BOOTS Brody! Then he reels Brody in! Brody fights with elbows, then fireman’s carries! Konosuke fights with elbows, but Brody still APRON DEATH VALLEY DRIVERS!! Both men fall to the floor and the fans fire up! Julia also applauds while Brody rises. Brody shakes out the cobwebs, drags Konosuke up, and he puts Konosuke in the ring. The fans rally for Brody but Konosuke bails out the side. Brody barks, the fans join in, and Brody runs up, but Konosuke JUMP KNEES! Konosuke goes into the ring, builds speed, and he FLIES! Direct hit and down goes Brody! The fans lose their minds while Collision goes picture in picture!

Konosuke and Brody are both down, Julia coaches Brody while the fans rally. Konosuke stands Brody up but Brody CHOPS! Konosuke ROCKS Brody! Brody leans against the barriers, but Konosuke CHOPS him! And CHOPS! And then whips him hard into barriers! Brody slumps down and Konosuke refreshes the ring count. Julia again coaches Brody but Konosuke is back. Brody ROCKS Konosuke! Konosuke ROCKS Brody!

Winner: Konosuke Takeshita, by pinfall (advances to the next round)

From trumping The Ace to trumping a King, Konosuke is the hot hand in this tournament to be sure! The Alpha looks to the Owen Hart Cup and vows it will be his! But will he be able to overcome the #BillyGOAT, Will Ospreay? Or will the Aerial Assassin be the one going Double or Nothing?


My Thoughts:

A great, maybe even awesome episode of Collision here. Even with things being mostly obvious results, it was all top level stuff. Knight VS Fox was great stuff to help keep Knight sharp in AEW. Best of the Super Juniors starts in May, so he’s got about another month where he will still be hanging in AEW, Knight can surely get a couple more wins before going back to Japan for that tournament. Gates of Agony of course won their match, but I like that they called out the Hurt Syndicate. I feel like they won’t win the title match with them, but it’s good to see the Gates finally moving up to this level and not just languishing in ROH.

Great match from Bowens VS Blake, and a great win for Bowens. Very good promo from Bowens, I’m sure he’ll get more wins and maybe even go for a title. Well, depending on where the different midcard belts are going, Bowens might have to wait a minute, given the tease of Omega VS Okada as of late. Good promo from the Death Riders as they have adjust after Pac gets injured. At the same time, Hook should be alright from the dizziness and possible concussion, as nothing has been said further. Death Riders VS Opps for the trios titles will be great stuff, but even doing it for a themed episode doesn’t make me think Death Riders lose. It’d be nice if they did, though…

Good Heel promo from FTR, though it didn’t say much more than Dax did passive aggressively a couple weeks ago: Cope kept FTR from what FTR wanted, which glosses over how The Death Riders kinda got at them, too; and the loss at Dynasty was just the last straw. Them threatening Schiavone & Nigel was a nice touch, as was getting Garcia into the story given he teamed with them against Undisputed Kingdom. Menard & Parker stepping up for Garcia was good, and wow did Menard bleed for that match. FTR of course win, and then them brutalizing 2Point0 to bring out Undisputed Kingdom (well, I guess they’re trying Paragon, since Schiavone mentioned that) was good, too.

Dax & Cash are tag guys so they won’t bother with the TNT Championship, but I could see them taking on Roddy & Kyle one more time, then we’d get Dax & Cash VS Cole & Garcia. At least, maybe? Just something that’ll help FTR get back up and maybe go for tag titles.  Megan beating two opponents at once was a good way to step things up in her rebound from Dynasty. I wonder if she’ll keep doing that until running into some new rival. I say that as it seems we won’t be getting her and Toni Storm in a rematch.

Toni Storm had a great promo to call out all the remaining Women’s Owen Hart Cup entries, but I find it interesting that she had no quip for Kris, just a compliment. Makes me wonder if Kris is destined to win the tournament and go to All In with Toni. And of course, great stuff in all of the Owen Hart Cup matches. Jamie VS Billie was a great rematch, but I shouldn’t be surprised Jamie wins again. Jamie VS Kris will be great stuff to lead into Double or Nothing. Then, great stuff from Athena VS Harley, certainly one of Harley’s better matches. But at the same time, of course Athena won to face Mone. Good promo from Mone to call Athena out, their match is going to be awesome, hard to say who wins that.

Konosuke VS Brody was also great, definitely a great main event. Of course Konosuke won. He’s NEVER Openweight Champion, the Don Callis Family keeps their idea of All Don Callis Family alive a little longer, and Konosuke VS Ospreay is going to be awesome stuff. I still think Ospreay wins and meets Kyle in the main event, but I suppose that still depends on how Hangman VS Wild Card goes.

My Score: 8.9/10

PLAY BY PLAY

The Death Riders speak.

Jon Moxley says, “The single greatest roster of pure talent ever assembled under one roof every week on AEW Dynamite. So, why can’t any of these guys get their act together when it counts? They come with their talents and they come with their gifts and they come with their fanfare and their bodies hit the dirt and they roll back down the hill. They will excuse themselves of they will seek comfort without addressing the real problem: You don’t want it. You don’t. We will scorch the earth with anybody who wants to call themselves a contender before we give a single inch. Not an inch.

“This is my life’s work. It will not be bought or sold. Matt & Nick Jackson have returned. Interesting. Power players in pro-wrestling’s new gilded age. Let’s do a little who’s who. I’m surrounded by warriors, I am the world champion, a king on the frontlines. You two? I don’t recognize you two anymore. I haven’t for a long time. You stumbled onto a board and you don’t know what the game is. You better figure it out, and you better be real, real careful. Better be real careful before you make any moves.” The Maniac keeps everyone on edge as he puts them all on notice, but will someone finally beat him at his own game?

 

Jon Moxley w/ Marina Shafir VS Katsuyori Shibata!

While The Maniac thinks he and his Death Riders are feared and untouchable, The Opps showed they are #NeverLacking! The Opps did what they could to keep things even between Death Riders and Swerve Strickland, but will The Wrestler make sure Moxley realizes what he’s lacking?

The bell rings, the two circle, and Baltimore rallies up. The two clinch, fight for control, and Shibata slips through to waistlock. Moxley wrenches free, but Shibata hooks a leg. Moxley rolls to get a wristlock but Shibata headscissors. The fans cheer, but Moxley fights around and pops free. The two stare down and go again. Shibata stays low as he looks for a leg, but then stands as Moxley tries for knuckle locks. They clinch, Moxley facelocks, but Shibata fights around. The fans duel, Shibata slips out to waistlock, then he grabs a leg. Moxley fights up, Shibata goes back to the waistlock and wrangles Moxley again.

The two move around, Moxley goes to the ROPEBREAK, and Shibata lets off. The fans rally as the two reset. They circle, tie up collar ‘n’ elbow, and Moxley powers Shibata back to the ropes. Shibata turns things around, only for Moxley to turn them back around, and they’re in the corner. Moxley lets off slowly, then he pie faces Shibata! Shibata CHOPS Moxley! The fans fire up as Shibata gives as good as he gets! Moxley is already red, so he CHOPS! Shibata CHOPS, Moxley CHOPS, the fans “WOO~!” and the CHOPS keep going! As soon as Mox CHOPS, Shibata CHOPS! Moxley snarls, kicks low, then runs, to then BOOT Shibata!

Moxley gets in Shibata’s face, but Shibata just eggs him on! The fans fire up, so Moxley BOOTS Shibata again! Shibata just turns himself around and eggs Moxley on! Moxley BOOTS, but Shibata gets in Moxley’s face! Moxley runs, but into a clinch, S T O! The fans fire up, and Shibata clamps on a chinlock. Moxley fights up, but Shibata catches him into a COBRA TWIST! Moxley endures, reaches out, but Shibata shifts position to have an IRON OCTOPUS! Moxley still endures, fights his way forward, and has the ROPEBREAK! Shibata lets go to CLUB Moxley, then whips him to a corner and BOOTS!

The fans fire up as Shibata fires a flurry of forearms on Moxley! The ref counts, Shibata sits Moxley down, then he runs corner to corner, HYDRAULIC DROPKICK! Then he gets going again, but Moxley LARIATS first! Moxley hurries to get Shibata up, LARIAT! Cover, ONE!! Shibata is tougher than that, but Moxley reels him in, PILEDRIVER! Moxley grins while Shibata staggers up, but Shibata PENALTY KICKS! The fans fire up as Shibata quite literally kicks that smug look off Moxley’s face! Marina is worried, but Shibata clamps on with a chinlock. Moxley fights up, slips out, and he has a SLEEPER!

Shibata pries at the hold, slips around, spin and snapmare, then the SLEEPER! Moxley fights up, reaches out, and he reaches back to THUMB Shibata in the eye! Shibata lets go, Moxley has the SLEEPER, and drops for the REAR NAKED CHOKE! The fans boo but Shibata is caught! The ref calls it, Moxley wins!

Winner: Jon Moxley, by submission

Dirty deeds done dirt cheap, but it still gave Moxley the win. Will Moxley continue to act in opposition to his words? Wait! The Young Bucks are here! Matthew & Nicholas Jackson make their way out on stage, Baltimore booing all the way. The prodigal EVPs go to the ring, and step inside to join Moxley & Marina. Moxley eyes The Bucks, The Problem standing in their way. Moxley has Marina stand down and the Death Riders fall back. Nick gets a mic to say, “Please give it up for your World Heavyweight Champion, Jon Moxley!” The fans boo instead. Nick says, “And show some damn respect for the Founding Fathers of AEW, YOUR EVPs!”

The fans boo more, but Nick tells them to “Shut the F up!” And yes, he used the letter F, so he self-censored. Nick knows everyone is wondering why The Bucks did what they did. Why did they cost Swerve the world title? Well, they have a couple good reasons why. First of all, they did it for their good friend. Hangman Adam Page, you’re welcome! This is what Hangman wanted all along! He never wanted Swerve to be world champion ever again, so they did that for him. The Bucks do NOT forget who their friends are. They still love Hangman and they know Hangman loves them. The fans chant “Whose House? “SWERVE’S HOUSE!”

Matt says Moxley, if only you stuck around to hear this, but Matt isn’t afraid to say this in front of the world. The fans continue to chant for “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” but Matt tells The Death Riders that what they did for them is a peace offering. The Bucks have no problems with The Death Riders, and they hope The Death Riders have no problems with them. While Matt & Nick sat at home for months and months, they realized while watching The Death Riders, that they’ve all got more in common than you’d think. The Death Riders wanna see that locker room rise to the occasion, just like The Bucks.

The Death Riders want AEW to be the best company in the world, just like The Bucks! They want to change the world, just like The Bucks! And Jon, Matt is impressed. Watching Jon, Matt saw him do what The Bucks could not. Jon Moxley succeeded in taking over AEW, and even got the world title. The Bucks could never do that. So last Sunday was their elevator pitch to The Death Riders. Imagine the synergy if The Death Riders & The Elite worked together as one! Moxley, the world champion, and The Founding Fathers of AEW, The EVPs, all together…! So please, Moxley, come on back out here with your boys, and let’s discuss a little bit of business.

The fans boo, but instead of Moxley, it’s KENNY OMEGA! The other Founding Father is here, and the fans fire up! The AEW International Champion has a mic to tell The Bucks, “So you did this all for your friends, huh? Mox, Hanger. You forgot to do me. But actually, I remember the last time we met. And if memory serves me correctly, it’s when at the height of my diverticulitis, you pushed me off a stretcher that was taking me to the hospital.” The fans boo, and Omega says this might sound crazy, but he never forgot. And he even forgave them! When he returned, he said that what he was doing was for his own legacy and for the safety of this company, not for revenge.

The fans cheer, and Omega says what we’re all trying to do here is #BringBacktheFeeling. Now, Omega hates to divert from the story, but allow him to tell The Bucks a story. Omega had a friend in high school who had two Shi Tzu dogs. It doesn’t really matter the type of dog, but they were both yappy as all heck. Ugly little mutts, but hey, Omega is an animal lover, so he loved these dogs. Every time he visited his friend’s place, they’d play games, but the dogs would take a dookie on the floor. The friend didn’t care, and those two little Shi Tzus were ever so pleased with themselves.

But as time went on, and more dookie kept collecting, and the stains left behind were getting more pungent, Omega had to say, “Hey, pal. Maybe we move this over to my place?” That is what The Bucks, without Omega, were like here in AEW. The fans chant “DOOKIE! DOOKIE!” Omega says the last time we saw The Bucks on AEW TV, they were shredding documents like there was some big incriminating thing they were covering up. Guys, Omega is gonna spoil the surprise right now. We all know how The Bucks live. We all know exactly how they operate! They brag about their earnings and their money, so yes, they were tearing up receipts!

Receipts of private jets! Of that big chair one of them has facing the bed in their master bedroom. The OnlyFans accounts! But it doesn’t matter! The part that matters most, the part that pisses Omega off the most, is that not because of The Death Riders, but because of The Young Bucks that AEW almost died! The company Omega loves and gave his very life, heart and soul for. The fans cheer that, and Omega says he cannot lie. The time off did The Bucks wonderfully. Nick looks every bit of that 90 pounds he was before he left. And Matt… Well, sure, he looks fine in that low cut V neck, but lay off the hot stuff! He’s as red as Nick’s lapels!

And quite frankly, now that we’ve gotten to this point, Omega could go on and on and on. But he doesn’t know, maybe they cut out the middle man and just fight. The fans fire up as Omega storms his way forward! Nick & Matt are ready, but then here comes Kazuchika Okada! The Elite’s Rainmaker is here and Omega realizes this is now 3v1. But wait! SWERVE shows up! The fans fire up as now things look to be 3v2! Swerve slips in from the crowd side, with a chair! The Elite runs off, avoiding retribution for the Dynasty screw job. The fans cheer as Baltimore is now “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!”

Omega offers a fist bump, Swerve gives him the fist bump! Will The Cleaner and The Realest be unlikely allies in this war for AEW’s heart and soul? Swerve grabs a mic to shout, “I now pronounce it is Buck Hunting Season! And I’m here with a loaded shotgun ready to blast on some freakin’ EVPs! You couldn’t leave well enough alone, could you? I dealt with you last year. And now-” PAC ATTACKS! The Bastard has a match with Swerve, so he decides to take it now! The fans boo but Pac digs his boot into Swerve in the neck! The ref rushes in, he has Pac back off, and things cool off while Dynamite goes to break!

Swerve Strickland w/ Prince Nana VS PAC!

Dynamite returns as Swerve tells the ref this match is still happening. The bell rings, Pac runs up, and Swerve BOOTS him down! The fans fire up and Swerve brings Pac up for fast hands! Swerve has Pac in a corner, fires off more shots, then fireman’s carries to hit SNAKE EYES! Swerve runs and he BOOTS Pac down again! Pac flounders, the fans fire up, and Swerve sees Pac bail out. Swerve BOOTS Pac from the apron! Swerve snarls, then drags Pac up to whip hard into railing! And then whips him the other way, into more railing! Pac writhes, but Swerve brings him up to send into steel steps! Pac slumps down while the fans fire up!

Nana says this is the REAL world champion here! Swerve refreshes the ring count, then revels in the fans chanting “One More Time!” Pac hurries into the ring to deny Swerve that, but Swerve goes around the outside. Swerve storms into the ring, but Pac goes back to the apron. Swerve storms up but Pac RAMS into him! Pac slingshots up and over, keeps moving, but Swerve stops the rana! Swerve hauls Pac up to BUCKLE BOMB! Pac writhes, drags himself up, and Swerve snapmares him to go up and FALLING UPPERCUT! The fans fire up while Swerve hits the Griddy! Swerve stalks Pac, stands on him at the ropes, but steps off as the ref counts.

Pac sputters, Swerve eggs Pac on, but Doc Sampson is called over to check on Pac. Pac’s foot seems to be the body part in question, and Swerve is annoyed that this is denying him his payback. The fans rally and Swerve paces. Doc double checks Pac, he is okay to continue, so he slides into the ring. SUPERKICK from Swerve! Swerve goes up the corner and the fans fire up! KILL STOMPS! Cover, Swerve wins!

Winner: Swerve Strickland, by pinfall

The Bastard takes a shot intended for The Bucks, but Swerve surely has ammo to spare. Will Swerve get at Matt & Nick soon enough?

 

Ricochet, Beast Mortos & Cru speak.

The One & Only says, “There is a lot that Daddy can do with $400,000. And tonight, I will lead Team Ricochet to victory.” The others take offense to that. But yeah, he’s the captain now. AHA~! The others roll their eyes, but will they all be rolling in money after tonight?

 

Will Ospreay, Mark Briscoe, Kevin Knight & “Speedball” Mike Bailey speak.

The Sussex County Chicken says, “Ladies and gentlemen, the word of the day is entrepreneurial! Because tonight, fellas, we have a opportunity to split 400 hundred thousand dollars! Will, whatcha gonna do with a hundred grand?” The Aerial Assassin shouts, “DISNEY WORLD~!” Mike, how ’bout you? He’ll buy some new shoes! And Jet, what about you? Kevin Knight is gonna go to Atlantic City, baby! What about Mark? Well, he plans to diversify his financial portfolio. But that’s besides the point! They’re coming for ya, baby! RAH RAH RAH! Which team will #ManUp and bring up the jackpot?

 

AEW hears from the many entrants of the Women’s Owen Hart Cup.

The CEO brags about how she beat the Princess of the Black Throne, but Billie Starkz reminds us that this is about honoring a legend. Jamie Hart says Billie is young, but scrappy and has heart. Mone continues to brag that the Money Train is going to win The Owen, pull into Globe Life Field stadium and become AEW Women’s World- Wait, Mini Mone pops in and says, “CHAMPION~!” Harley Cameron is all smiles but Mone has a headache. Billie knows Jamie doesn’t doubt herself because she beat Billie before, but in the Owen Hart Cup, it’ll be different. Harley tells Mone that she might go to All In. Or maybe, just maybe, Harley does, because she’s also in the tournament.

And you never know! Maybe Harley and Mone could face off! Jamie knows Billie wants her moment, but Jamie just wants to fight. Let’s see which one wins out on Saturday. Mone wishes Harley luck against Athena, and may the best woman win. Mini Mone tells Harley that next time, she’ll do the talking. But as stated, the Owen Hart Cup will have a Collision in Springfield, Massachusetts! Who makes it out of there to move on to Boston and the Spring Breakthru?

 

Backstage interview with Hangman Page.

Renee Paquette brings up The Cowboy facing the Wild Card entrant to the Men’s Owen Hart Cup. How does he prepare for a question mark? Hangman doesn’t know who this guy is, and he doesn’t know what he’s supposed to say, but he’s kinda doing something right now so excuse him. Hangman storms on down the hall and goes right into Swerve’s room!? Hangman asks Nana, “Where’s he at?!” Nana asks what the hell, and Hangman knows Nana knows, so he needs to sit his ass down! Nana sits down, and Hangman wants to make something perfectly clear! At Dynasty, Hangman was NOT trying to help Swerve, understand?

And next week, Hangman has his match in The Owen! So tell Swerve if he so much as thinks about getting in the way, Hangman will pick up with him where they left off. Hangman then turns to go, but Nana has him hold on. There’s something he’s been wanting to tell Hangman for the last year. Nana can’t talk for Swerve, but Nana regrets what they did. Hangman tells Nana to stop! Not another word! Nana does not get that. Hangman storms off, not wanting an apology. Is Hangman that determined to hate someone?

 

$400K 8 Man Tag: Will Ospreay, Kevin Knight, Mark Briscoe & “Speedball” Mike Bailey VS Ricochet, The Beast Mortos & Cru!

The Aerial Assassin teamed with The Jet last week, and had a stellar match at Dynasty as part of the Owen Hart Cup. They team with Mark & Mike to make some bank, can they do it? Or will “Team Ricochet” be #OuttaThisWorld?

Dynamite returns as Briscoe makes his entrance, followed by this conglomeration of high-fliers. The teams sort out, and Bailey steps up so he can call out The One & Only. The fans cheer that, so Ricochet steps in. The bell rings, Bailey and Ricochet circle, but Ricochet keeps his distance, and he tags to Mortos! The fans boo Ricochet but he claims he needs some time to stretch. Mortos stares down with Bailey, and then both men roar!

The ref reprimands, Action stomps away on Ospreay, then he tags Ricochet.

AEW has an injury report on Adam Copeland.

After failing to dethrone the Death Riders as AEW World Trios Champions, FTR betrayed Cope and absolutely brutalized him! The Rated R Superstar is ruled out of action indefinitely, did Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler just end the career of a man they once called friend?

 

The Hurt Syndicate is here!

Baltimore cheers as Montel Vontavious Porter and the AEW World Tag Team Champions, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin, head to the ring. There’s already quite the set up waiting for them: a table decked out with food and drink; a pedestal to rest the belts on; and a picture commemorating their victory. The fans cheer for MVP as he grabs the mic, and he says, “Ladies and gentlemen of the AEW viewing audience, this is an official announcement from The Hurt Syndicate. Punks jump up to get beat down. Two more challengers stepped up for the AEW Tag Team Championships, and two more challengers got beat down.”

The fans cheer, and MVP says if they would be so kind, please join him and his colleagues in a toast to celebrate yet another successful title defense. They take the bottles of champagne from the bucket of ice, and the fans chant, “We Hurt~ People!” They raise their glasses, but then MJF makes his way out here! Maxwell Jacob Friedman smiles, has a mic in hand already, and he goes right to the ring. MJF apologizes and then stands in line beside Shelton. The fans are torn, Shelton chuckles, MVP smirks, but Lashley is not amused. Baltimore duels, “He’s Our Scumbag!” “NO, HE’S NOT!” MVP talks with Lashley to relax, but then MJF speaks.

“Look at us, huh? I don’t know if you’ve heard, but we hurt people, baby! This is great, this is great. Guys, look at us, huh? Dripping in gold! You’re welcome, by the way. I couldn’t be happier. This couldn’t have come at a better time, mind you. Because that guy, Tony Khan, he wanted me to do the Owen Hart Cup Tournament? So I could what? Sweat my balls off, break my back, wrestle every week like some shmuck! I don’t think so, Maryland. See, I work smarter, not harder. And now that I’m rolling with The Syndicate? Whew! Daddy gets to cut the line and get back what is rightfully mine, and that is the Triple B, baby!”

The fans cheer, MVP chuckles, and MJF says this is a perfect fit! He scratches their backs by helping them maintain their tag team titles, because let’s face it, without his help, woof. And now, they help little ol’ MJF! Everyone wins! So, Montel, serious question, how does the initiation work? Does he sign a contract? Or is it an old school blood brothers thing? Lashley tells MJF to shut up. “Shut your freakin’ mouth!” Everyone saw what MJF did! When Lashley turned around and saw Big Bill standing, Lashley cut him in half and finished it, cuz that’s what they do. Now MJF tried to help, which was cute, but he didn’t get the job done.

So Max, this is yet another reason why they don’t need MJF! MJF says okay, cool. First, don’t point. Lashley says he’ll point at whoever he wants! They argue, but then Shelton & MVP step in. MVP tells Lashley to chill, Lashley says MJF will respect him! MVP wants Shelton to cool off, too, just give MVP a second. MVP tells MJF he knows how MVP feels about him. They go way back. Lashley & Shelton know that, too. So in order for MJF to join the Syndicate, he has to get three thumbs up. We already know how MVP feels, he is thumbs up. Shelton? MJF says yeah, they go way back, too! Shelton’s answer is thumbs… DOWN!

MJF thought they were cool! Lashley says thank you, Shelton. That’s two to one, the motion is denied. Lashley & Shelton head out, MJF turns to MVP, and MVP shrugs. The Syndicate heads out, not bothering with The Scumbag. What must MJF do to get what he wants?

 

Backstage interview with Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford.

Renee is with The Megasus & The Superbad Girl, and says she wanted to catch up on how they’re feeling after what was honestly, a surprising loss at Dynasty. Ford says that was just a taste of defeat. But it changes nothing. “Everything that this woman has been through is what? Just erased all because Toni Storm barely survived? No. Everything is just gonna get worse. This division cannot move on, because she won’t let it. She’s gonna be at Collision. And she doesn’t care who, she doesn’t care how many0” Megan brushes Renee aside to step forward, and she tells everyone, “I will make you bow down.” Ford says, “See what you did?”

The female titan of AEW was dominant before, and now she’s angry! Who will be destroyed all because Toni Storm still reigns?

 

Toni Storm is here!

Speaking of The Timeless AEW Women’s World Champion, she heads down to ringside to join commentary, as she wants to bear witness to this next match.

2025 Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Opening Round: Kris Statlander VS Thunder Rosa!

The Galaxy’s Greatest and La Mera Mera almost had it out last week in just talking about this match-up and what it means. Kris wants to finally be THE champ, but Rosa wants back what she never truly lost. Who wins here to prove they are the best bet on winning the Cup?

The bell rings and the fans rally up. The two tie up, go around, and Kris waistlocks. Rosa fights the lift, then fights with elbows, then arm-drags Kris down for a wristlock. Kris fights up, rolls, and wrenches to headlock. Rosa powers up and out, but Kris runs her over! Kris flexes, Toni says if she was Kris’ teammate, they could be #ThunderThighs. But if Toni teamed with Schiavone, well, they’d just be #Tits. Rosa runs up on Kris, waistlocks, then slips past her, only for Kris to drop down and hurdle over. Rosa stops herself to avoid the powerslam, then Oklahoma Rolls! TWO, and Rosa wheelbarrows to arm-drag! Rosa has the armlock, but Kris fights around.

Kris rises up, powers Rosa to a corner, and the fans cheer. Kris lets off, CHOPS Rosa, then whips corner to corner. Rosa reverses, Kris goes up and over and arm-drags! Then she SHOTGUNS Rosa down! The fans fire up for Kris while Rosa goes to a corner. Kris lets Toni know she sees her, then runs in at Rosa for an UPPERCUT! Kris goes side to side, but Rosa ROUNDHOUSES first! Kris falls, the fans fire up for Rosa as she runs, but Kris avoids the dropkick! Kris goes to the apron to slingshot in, but Rosa avoids the elbow drop! Rosa reloads and runs again, DROPKICK through the ropes! The fans fire up while Rosa goes to the apron.

Rosa aims at Kris and says YEEHAW! SEATED SENTON! Rosa puts Kris in, covers, TWO! Kris stays in this but Rosa CHOPS! And CHOPS! Rosa ducks a roundhouse but Kris kicks low to DDT!

The Don Callis Family speaks.

Kyle Fletcher & Konosuke Takeshita stand behind Don Callis himself as he says, “All signs are pointing and all roads are leading to a Proto-shita final for the Don Callis Family in the Owen Hart Tournament. I mean, the Protostar here, he already beat that degenerate, Mark Briscoe. And even though Brody King got one over on the Don Callis Family when he beat Lance Archer, I can tell you, my word, it shan’t happen again! Because we’ve got valuable intel, and you’re in the ring, Brody King, with The Alpha. Look at these two! I mean, in their 20s, jacked, oiled up, hot! The talk of the town! Very healthy young men.

“Y’know who’s not healthy? A couple other members of the Don Callis Family. So I’m gonna put it out there officially tonight: The Don Callis Family, given the rash of injuries that has taken place, is now accepting potential new members. Send your résumé, send your picture, send your bank account number, because as these guys have proven, this is straight to the top.” Callis is expanding his stable, who will accept his offer? And will Takeshita make it through the King of Death this Saturday on Collision?

 

The Undisputed Kingdom speaks.

Kyle O’Reilly says, “There’s been a lot of ups and downs for us in AEW, boys. And since I joined the Undisputed Kingdom, we’ve been chasing that one moment to kick things off. And the TNT Championship tells the world what we already know: We are the elite of the elite, and watch us as we collect moment after moment after moment.” Roderick Strong says, “Speaking of moments, Kyle, I think it’s about time that we have our moment.” Adam Cole tells Roddy that they will. “Because excellence is not just defined by your successes. Excellence is defined by how you handle your failures.

“The past two years, I’ve been through hell and back. They were two of the most challenging years not just in my career, but in my life. And now I stand before you the Face of TNT, your NEW AEW TNT Champion. And trust me when I tell you, this is just the start for the three of us. Because it’s a new era in All Elite Wrestling, because we… We are the paragons, and that is Undisputed.” Cole, Kyle & Roddy are ready, will they redefine what it is to be All Elite?

 

Chris Jericho is here!

The former ROH World Champion goes to the ring, where he has his podium, prop trees and TV set up. Jericho has the mic to say, “I am the legendary Chris Jericho, but I am no longer the ROH World Champion.” The fans cheer that! Jericho says he lost his match, he lost a tooth, and he lost his title. And while that is disappointing, he will give credit where credit is due. Congratulations, Bandido, you pulled it off. After months of conflict with one of the greatest pro-wrestlers of all time, Jericho, Bandido was finally victorious. Bandido won the title and saved his mask, but of course with the assistance of his intrusive siblings and his stooge of a mother!

But Jericho gets it. Bandido has his familia, and Jericho has his. Jericho will bring them out now: “Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith! The Redwood & The Bad Apple make their way out now, and they’re just as upset given they also lost on Sunday. Bill & Keith step into the ring to join Jericho, and Jericho says he was hoping they’d all have titles here tonight. He was hoping they would win the AEW World Tag Team Championships at Dynasty. But they didn’t, did they? That’s why Jericho- Bill stops him?!

Bill grabs his own mic while the fans cheer him on, and Bill says, “Look, Chris, I already know what you’re gonna say. You’re angry, and you have every right to be angry. I’m angry. In fact, I’ve been getting real angry a lot as of late.” Keith wants Bill to stop, but Bill says no, Jericho needs to hear this. Bill knows Keith knows this, too, because they’ve talked about this. Keith is still conflicted, but Bill tells Jericho that Bill has the utmost respect for Jericho. Jericho is one of the greatest of all time. Jericho is one of the most decorated performers in the history of this industry. The fans do cheer that, and Bill says that is why he joined The Learning Tree.

Bill wanted to learn from Jericho. But… Bill did not sign up to be Jericho’s punching bag whenever things go wrong. The fans cheer that! Jericho has a bit of a smirk, and Bill says if he and Keith are out here because Jericho is going to teach them something, then by all means, go ahead and teach. But if they are just here so Jericho can berate and humiliate them, then let Bill know right now, so Bill can leave. And Bill knows Bryan feels the same way. Jericho steps closer to Keith and asks if that’s true. Because that isn’t why Jericho brought them out here. If that’s what they think, then they do have a lot more to learn than he thought.

Jericho believes in them. And when he said he wanted them to win the AEW World Tag Team Championships, he meant that, because he cares about both of them. He handpicked both of them to stand by him to teach them, help them, and believe him, he doesn’t have to help anyone in AEW if he doesn’t want to. But they have potential. They’re future world champions! That is why their victories are his victories, and their failures are his failures. And that is why Jericho is empathetic to Bill when Bill was not there when Jericho needed him most! Jericho lost the ROH World Championship, and Bill wasn’t there!

Some might go so far as to say it was Bill’s fault that Jericho lost! The fans boo, this is clearly the berating Bill spoke of. Bill tries not to react, but Jericho says he isn’t saying that. He doesn’t believe that at all. It is okay, because he is not angry. Just disappointed. Jericho SMASHES his TV with Floyd the Baseball Bat! Jericho again says, “I’m not angry, just disappointed.” And then SMASH goes the TV! SMASH! SMASH! SMASH! Then he goes after the trees! Jericho keeps saying, “I’m disappointed! I’m disappointed! I’m disappointed! I’M EFFING DISAPPOINTED!” And unlike Nick Jackson earlier, Jericho does say the full word.

The fans boo and Bill glares at Jericho. Jericho says he is disappointed in them, and until they change that, it is best that he leaves. Jericho pushes his podium over, storms out of the ring, and the fans sing, “Hey Hey Hey~! GOODBYE~!” If this is disappointed, what would angry even look like? Keith and Bill are upset, but in different ways. What happens to The Learning Tree if The Nueve is going to be MIA?

 

Anthony Bowens speaks.

It was after the huge return at Dynasty during the Zero Hour that the Pride of Pro-Wrestling said, “I’m finally free of the shackles that is Max Caster. The Five Tool Player has finally arrived. I’ve got five tools, and one rule: And that’s  to prove them wrong.” Bowens returns to AEW TV as he takes on Blake Christian this Saturday, will the Vanilla Baby survive this Collision?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Collision!

Almost a week after the brutal beating they gave Adam Copeland, Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler will be in Springfield, Mass to speak on #WhyFTRWhy. Will their answer be satisfactory? Or simply self-serving?

 

Backstage interview with The Hurt Syndicate.

Alicia Atout has caught up with MVP, Lashley & Shelton to bring up the interactions with MJF. Where do things go from here? Lashley asks why they’re even talking about MJF. Everyone knows MJF is not to be trusted, and then after what he said out there tonight? Lashley does not like MJF, and the Syndicate does not need MJF. Shelton agrees there. They don’t need anybody else. Though, “Lil’ George Costanza is pretty funny.” Lashley rolls his eyes and storms off, Shelton says he’ll go talk to him. MVP says they’re just trying to figure out- Wait, someone knocks on the door. MVP says come in, and it’s MJF!

MJF tells Alicia, “Honey, this is an AB conversation, so why don’t you C your skank ass outta here? Buh-bye, catch you around.” MJF apologizes to MVP that he had to see that, but he is just a little perturbed. Can he ask a question, plain and simple? Sure, go ahead. Does MJF look like a “female dog” to him? MVP wants MJF to get to the point. MJF’s point is, why does he always end up treated like some punk b*tch!? Do these guys not know who he is? He’s M J F! MVP has MJF stop there. That’s the problem: They know exactly who MJF is. MJF’s reputation precedes him. But this is business, and in the world of business, you get your consumer, find out what they want, and give it to them.

MVP heads out, and MJF thinks on that. Will he figure out what the supply and demand for the Hurt Syndicate is?

 

Jericho is in the parking lot.

He storms around, and he takes out his “disappointment” on some spare sodas before getting into his car. The driver takes it away, when and where will we see The Learning Tree again?

 

Samoa Joe & Hook VS Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta!

While Jon Moxley beat Shibata earlier tonight, Swerve did take out The Bastard soon after. The rest of The Opps take on the rest of The Death Riders, who will it be that’s caught lacking here tonight?

The teams sort out, Joe starts against Yuta, and the fans rally behind the Samoan Submission Specialist. The two circle, Yuta waistlocks, but Joe wrenches out and wristlocks. The fans sing, “Joe is gonna kill~ you!” but Yuta rolls, only for Joe to wrangle him. Yuta fights up, spins and works on the grip, but Joe wrangles him again. Yuta kips up, spins, rolls, and fires a forearm! Joe lets Yuta go, but he’s more mad than anything. Yuta runs off before Joe can take a swing! The fans boo but Yuta wants the ref to back Joe off. The ref has Joe step back, then Yuta slides in. Yuta tags Claudio and the fans boo more.

Joe smirks as now the Swiss Cyborg steps in. Joe and Claudio knuckle lock, then Claudio kicks low! Claudio UPPERCUTS, UPPERCUTS again, but Joe CHOPS! And JABS! JABS! JABS! Joe fires JAB after JAB, then whips Claudio to a corner. Joe runs up, ELBOW and PELE! Claudio sputters along the ropes but Joe bumps him off buckles. Tag to Hook and the Opps mugs Claudio. Hook fires body shots then clinches, but Claudio CLUBS him, then scoops and SLAMS him! Tag to Yuta, Yuta climbs up, and Yuta CROSSBODIES but Hook says nope! Yuta belly flops on the mat, then Hook waistlocks for a deadlift GERMAN SUPLEX!

Hook holds on, to GERMAN SUPLEX again! And GERMAN SUPLEX again! The fans fire up for Hook while Yuta flounders to the corner. Tag to Joe and Joe JABS, CHOPS, and repeat! The fans cheer as Joe then snapmares Yuta, CHOPS him on the back, and KICKS him in the front! Joe runs to ELBOW DROP! Tag to Hook, he runs up to fire knees. Hook puts Yuta in a corner and fires body shots! Hook whips corner to corner, Yuta reverses, but then Hook puts Yuta on the apron. Hook ROCKS Yuta, Yuta falls to the floor, but then Yuta grabs a foot! The ref reprimands as Yuta trips Hook, but Hook kicks free! Only for Claudio to APRON DOUBLE STOMP!

The ref reprimands while Hook writhes, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Yuta storms back in and brings Hook up. Yuta CHOPS Hook, but Hook CHOPS in return! Yuta CLAWS Hook’s eyes, tags Claudio, and they double whip Hook to then DOUBLE BOOT! Yuta soaks up the heat while Claudio glares at Joe. Joe warns Claudio, but Claudio drags Hook around into a top wristlock. Claudio grinds Hook down with that wristlock, but Hook fights up. Claudio knee slow, KNEES Hook again, then shoves him to the corner. Claudio stomps Hook down, argues with the ref, but that lets Yuta CHOKE Hook! Joe protests, the ref is busy with him now, so Yuta gets away with it. Claudio smothers Hook, KNEES him low, then tags Yuta.

Yuta runs up to stomp Hook, then brings him around. Yuta talks trash on Baltimore, but Hook fires body shots! Yuta KNEES low, hooks a leg, and hits a FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Not quite perfect, but Yuta doesn’t care as he just clamps onto a foot. Yuta drags Hook around, YANKS the leg, then tags Claudio. Claudio stomps Hook, then smothers him with a chinlock. Hook endures, even as Claudio grinds him down. Hook fights around, fights up, and he fires body shots. Claudio shifts to a SLEEPER, but Hook still fights. Hook reaches out for Joe, Joe reaches out for Hook, but Claudio shifts around to have a COBRA CLUTCH!

The fans rally as Hook fights up, and he has Claudio as a backpack! Hook stomps forward, but Claudio slips down and THROWS Hook down! Claudio then UPPERCUTS Hook to the corner! Tag to Yuta, he drags Hook up and snapmares for a chinlock of his own. Hook endures all over again while Dynamite returns to single picture. The fans rally for Hook and they taunt Yuta, but Yuta leans on the hold. Hook fights to his feet, fires body shots, then he SAYANAGIS free! But Yuta comes back for a PAIN THRILLER! Cover, TWO! Yuta tags Claudio, Claudio scuffs Hook, then Claudio eggs Hook on. “Who’s the man?”

Claudio shoves Hook to the corner, but Hook ROCKS Claudio, ELBOWS Yuta, and repeat! Hook hurries for his corner but Claudio catches him with a clinch. Claudio KNEES low, then whips Hook to the corner. Claudio storms up, but Hook clinches! CORNER EXPLODER! The fans fire up while both men are down! Hook crawls, but Yuta is right there, Claudio tags Yuta in! Yuta runs to BLAST Joe! The fans boo but Hook catches Yuta! EXPLODER! Hook crawls, as does Yuta, but Joe’s still down! Yuta tags Claudio, Claudio runs at Hook, UPPERCUT! Cover, TWO! Hook survives but Claudio drags him back up!

Tag to Yuta, and Yuta climbs! Claudio hauls Hook up, DOOMSDAY POWERBOMB! Cover, TWO?!?! Hook survives and shocks The Death Riders! They argue with the ref, but Joe rises to the apron! Only for Claudio to slide out, YANK Joe down, and throw forearms! Joe fires in return and the fans fire up! Joe whips, Claudio reverse, Joe hits railing! Claudio runs up, but into an URENAGE to the floor! Yuta drags Hook up, but Hook standing switches and clamps on! REDRUM!! No, Yuta is fighting it, and here comes Moxley! The ref has Moxley back off, but this lets Yuta CLAWS Hook’s eyes! The fans boo but Moxley does his part.

Moxley has a chair, he tells Yuta to finish this, but SHIBATA returns! He has Moxley in a SLEEPER! The fans fire up as Moxley flails! REDRUM for Yuta!! Joe has Claudio, COQUINA CLUTCH!! The Opps have the Death Riders all caught! Yuta TAPS, Opps win!!

Winners: Samoa Joe & Hook, by submission

They truly are #NeverLacking! Joe, Hook and even Shibata had the grit to tough it out and take the win! Shibata’s even putting the Maniac AEW World Champion to sleep! But Marina Shafir slithers in, chair in hand! She CHOP BLOCKS Joe! Yuta CLOBBERS Hook, Claudio is back to help mug Hook! The fans boo, Shibata hurries to help his guys, but Claudio fires shots! Yuta joins in to TOSS Shibata out! Claudio has the chair, sits it upside-down, and he reels Hook in! GOTCH NEUTRALIZER onto the chair legs!! Hook is all but skewered on those, and now The Death Riders run away before Joe can get them!

The fans boo, but what did anyone expect from the dastardly, no good Death Riders? Joe is the only one standing, and he has a mic to shout, “DEATH RIDERRRS~! You cowardly SOBs! You see, the Opps came to Baltimore to give you a fist fight! And it seems like the Death Riders are acting more like a bunch of D*CK RIDERS right now, to come out here and do what they want!” The fans fire up behind Joe, and Joe says they make it real simple! The Opps VS The Death Riders, and they’re coming for the AEW World Trios Championships!! Joe has thrown down the challenge, will The Death Riders have no choice but to accept?


My Thoughts:

A great Dynamite for the follow-up to Dynasty, but something promo wise must’ve gone long because the main event needed most of that overrun. Part of me thinks it was Kenny Omega with The Bucks. We got a good opening promo from Moxley that properly uses that Heel hypocrisy to act like he didn’t get saved by everyone in the Death Riders and The Bucks, and then we got a great match from Moxley VS Shibata. Moxley of course wins by using dirty tactics, but I liked the segue into The Bucks having their promo, which then brought out Kenny. Part of why this part took longer was cuz the fans were having too much fun chanting “Dookie.”

But there’s something about The Elite wanting to work with The Death Riders, but they’ve got Omega and Swerve opposing them, I wonder if Double or Nothing gets to have Anarchy in the Arena 2025. The Owen Hart Cup Finals determine a #1 contender to the world title, so Double or Nothing doesn’t have to have a world title match. Honestly, seeing as how Revolution and Dynasty basically had the same upsetting end to a world title match, Anarchy in the Arena would be a much better main event. Though, that really depends on what happens with The Opps and the trios titles. Honestly, The Opps better win those titles.

We got a great tag team main event, and while Joe & Hook win, Death Riders get the better of them with that beating. I really hope Pac is okay, his ankle scare might have been what wrapped his match against Swerve. If Pac’s ankle is still a concern, that’s perhaps all the more reason to take the trios titles off The Death Riders and put them on The Opps so that The Opps can carry those into Double or Nothing or even All In. Then Anarchy in the Arena can be Bucks, Okada, and at least Moxley, Claudio & Yuta, against Omega, Swerve, and certainly Hangman Page. Hangman had a great bit with Prince Nana, and they’re really taking this to interesting places. Swerve says he deserved what Hangman did, Nana wants to apologize for what Swerve did, and Hangman isn’t sure how to handle any of it.

Now, Hangman also said his Owen Hart Cup match is next week, and that complicates what some fans were hoping to see. Fans hoped Darby Allin would go All In (see how his name and the words work together?) but Darby wants to climb Mount Everest. Apparently that climb is either happening now or within the next week, meaning he’s not going to be available for the Wild Card position. Not sure who they could put in that spot, not sure why they had a Wild Card spot to begin with, but if it isn’t Darby, I feel like Hangman wins that to at least be a bit closer to the Cup. But with The Bucks back, I could see them pulling strings to try and help Hangman, he doesn’t like it, all the more reason he joins Swerve and Omega against The Elite.

Very good promo segment from The Hurt Syndicate with MJF. MJF just assuming he’s in was great, as was Lashley’s entire reaction to it. Not sure we needed that backstage promo, that could’ve been left for Collision. Also, I believe Alicia Atout is MJF’s newest girlfriend, so she clearly knew MJF would be misogynistic for the bit. Good promo from Undisputed Kingdom, or perhaps the Paragon? I feel like “Paragon” was floated around as a faction name a year or so ago, not sure they need to try that again. And surprisingly, a very good TV Time with Chris Jericho. I really liked Bill being blunt with Jericho, and then Jericho turning that around to be somewhat psycho was actually a good move, too. Can’t wait for Bill and Jericho to have it out, and for Keith to choose a side.

That was a great 8 Man Tag, with great promos, but like… Does a kayfabe “big cash prize” really have to be the reason? I suppose it’s TK’s best way of justifying such an assortment of wrestlers in a match, but it still seems really silly. They never really did that much with Top Flight & AR Fox after they won that Three Kings $300K battle royal. The gear didn’t change or improve that drastically, there was no promo/vignette where they had fun with the $300K, so why bother? Good promo from Don Callis, though, to hype up his guys in the Owen Hart Cup, and to open the door to new members. Maybe guys lost in the shuffle can finally do stuff on TV. Also, a shame about Mark Davis and Brian Cage, I hope those guys get well soon.

And great stuff in the Women’s Owen Hart Cup. Very good promo from all the other entries, and a great match from Kris VS Rosa. Toni on commentary is still good, but she really does like innuendos, doesn’t she? Maybe too much? I’m just a touch surprised Kris won, I thought they were going to give us Thunder VS Storm again, given Rosa never actually lost the title. They can still do that for Double or Nothing on the side while someone else wins the tournament, but Megan & Ford also had a very good promo. I figured with Dynasty that Megan would want a rematch, but maybe she has to go through Rosa to get it. Or maybe Triple Threat since the PPV is Double or Nothing?

My Score: 8.9/10
