Blood & Guts 2025 was the most brutal one yet, and yet the most brutal faction in AEW lost!

Or will The Franchise Player, #AllGenresAdam & The Dynamite Kid just add insult to injury?

Garcia gets into it with Matt Menard during the entrance, and then Garcia SLAPS the headset off of Daddy Magic! The fans cheer Menard on as he throws hands with Garcia! Nigel & Schiavone do their best to stay back, Pac & Yuta tell Garcia to leave Menard alone, they’ve got the match to worry about.

Moxley says, “And that’s how it’s done.” The Death Riders rebound from Blood & Guts, but Pac grabs a mic to talk. “Oi, oi, oi…! From what I’ve heard, Darby Allin, he isn’t here tonight. And I can’t say I’m surprised. Y’see, what I did to Darby Allin at Blood & Guts, it was bloody beautiful. It was the best thing that I’ve ever done! Y’see, I’ve achieved a lot in professional wrestling, but standing and watching him burn… Well, I consider that my magnum opus! My piece la resistance! A masterpiece nonetheless. And no doubt, if Darby is still alive, he’ll want some form of petty revenge. Well, hey! Darby! I’ll be honest with ya: that’s no skin off my ball sack, ya little freak!

“Y’see, you wanna piece of me? No problem! Me and you, mano y mano, any time, any where! And where better than one week from tonight, live on PPV from New Jersey, AEW Full Gear? Y’see, Darby, you get a chance at retribution. But I get a chance to prove to the entire world, live on PPV, that a punk like you doesn’t belong int he same conversation, never mind the same league, as a competitor like ME!” The fans boo, but Pac tells Darby, “Have a little think about it, and let me know, wontcha? I’ll be waiting.” The Bastard has thrown out the challenge, but will- or rather, can Darby Allin accept?

Backstage interview with Kyle Fletcher & Mark Davis.

Lexy Nair is with Aussie Open as she brings up the big week for the Don Callis Family. Tonight, Mark Davis takes on Mark Briscoe while Kyle defends the TNT Championship against Scorpio Sky. If successful, we will get Fletcher VS Briscoe 6 at Full Gear. Fletcher is already annoyed, because he is sick of talking about Briscoe! Briscoe has been a thorn in The Family’s side for far too long. At Full Gear, Fletcher puts Briscoe in his place for good. But tonight, Briscoe has to deal with this man! Davis tells “Chicken Man Briscoe” that he won’t even make it to Full Gear, because after Davis wins tonight, chicken is for dinner! RARARARAR!

Fletcher says goodness. Good for Davis, but on Fletcher’s menu is Scorpio Sky. Fletcher tells Scorpio that he is very impressive, undefeated since returning, and a former two-time TNT Champion. But with the roll Fletcher is on, it stops for NOBODY. Get ready to say his full name. Will The Protostar & Dunkzilla dominate on behalf of the Callis Family? Or can a lot change in just one night?

Backstage interview with Toni Storm & Mina Shirakawa.

Collision returns as Lexy is now with the Timeless Love Bombs. Lexy notes that no one left Blood & Guts unscathed. Mina is clearly not cleared to compete tonight, and- Toni takes the mic to stop Lexy so that she can say, “Five women made me watch a mugging, a massacre, a murder. Now you can do what you like to me, Toni Storm lives and dies every damn day. But when you touch the woman I love… A woman who brings color to a world that is black ‘n’ white… Then you gain admission to a film, a cinema verité, that stars five sh*t-ass slop tarts and two horror show whores with a lust for vengeance who will love bomb the crap out of you!

“And since it’s your turn to watch, we promise to look good when we do it. Any time, any place. The show must go on. Don’t ask God for mercy, He’s a big fan of our work.” The femme fatale has spoken, but when and where will she and the Fighting Gravure Idol get their hands on Megan, Marina, and the rest?

Mark Briscoe VS Mark Davis!

The Sussex County Chicken almost didn’t make it into Blood & Guts after a backstage ambush from the Don Callis Family, but he showed he can #ManUp and even win at less than 100%! But will Briscoe need to fight like Hell all over again? Or will Dunkzilla make him easy pickings for The Protostar?

Winner: Mark Briscoe, by pinfall

Third time is the charm, and now Chicken is red hot going towards Full Gear! But will Briscoe be able to take the TNT Championship, no matter who he’s facing? Or will The Don Callis Family be the winners in the end?

Team Sky Flight speaks.

Christopher Daniels focuses himself before telling Scorpio Sky, “Ever since you decided to start this team of Sky Flight, we have led these guys to some great victories. We are on a roll in the world of professional wrestling, but I think it’s time for you to become a little bit selfish, get some glory for yourself, and regain that gold.” Scorpio says, “It’s been 1228 days since I lost the TNT Title. And not one of ’em has gone by where I haven’t thought about getting it back. The last few years have not been easy for me, but none of it compares to what stands in front of me tonight.

“Kyle Fletcher, you are every bit as good as you think you are. But I’ve got the experience to know that what sticks with you in this business aren’t the victories, it’s the night that should’ve been victories but weren’t. Defeat comes for us all, Kyle. And tonight, yours comes from The Sky.” Scorpio snaps his fingers and we go to break. Will The Closer strike out the Protostar and completely change Full Gear?

Josh Alexander is beating up Michael Nakazawa?!

The Walking Weapon is sending a message to Kenny Omega through the last friend standing! He asks if this all sounds familiar! Kenny’s best friends and loved ones kicking and screaming! Just like Kota Ibushi! This is fun for Alexander! HE is an instrument of destruction for the Don Callis Family! So what do you think he’ll do for a million dollars at Full Gear? If Kenny wants to be at Boston for the AEW super show, TOO LATE! Alexander CLUBS Nakazawa’s leg! But will the Callis Family pay dearly for everything they’ve done to Kenny’s friends?

MXM TV is here!

And after they POSE together in the ring, Mansoor has the mic to say, “MXM TV kindly requests you slack-jawed, odious troglodytes to SHUT UP! This is the most exciting thing to ever happen to your Podunk town. Because this is the MXM TV Casting Call! Any combination of MXM TV VS any combination of anyone in the back! And the only thing that’s gonna be eerie is how ugly they’re gonna be after we rearrange their face!” The fans boo but Mansoor says time to find out who they’re beating tonight! Arkady Aura says it is a singles match, and she introduces… Tay Melo! Will the Blackbelt Brazilian Beauty beat some humility into Mrs. TV?

Tay flails, but TONI STORM rushes out here! She BLASTS Taya just because, then she SHOTGUNS Marina! Toni reels Marina in, STORM ZERO!! The fans are all fired up as Toni gets just a taste of revenge! Moxley says he didn’t see that coming. But will anyone stop Toni & Mina from having their fill?

AEW TNT Championship: Kyle Fletcher VS Scorpio Sky!

As it stands, Fletcher and Briscoe will compete for this title at Full Gear, with the added stipulation that Briscoe losing means he’d join the Don Callis Family. Can The Closer not only take the title but throw a wrench into those plans? Or will the Aussie Arrow stay on target from here to New Jersey?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is truly the greatest Face of TNT ever!

Kris ROCKS Mone first, and fireman’s carries from up there! SAMOAN DROP down through the belt display table!! The fans are thunderous for “A E DUB!

Winners: Team Mone, by surrender

But then Team Mone doesn’t care, they mug Toni! Megan, Marina & The Triangle of Madness all smile sinister smiles. They mug Mina & Toni some more just because they can, but the refs get them to back off. Has this violent victory already decided who will win in the AEW Women’s Tag Team Championship Tournament?

The Don Callis Family attacks Jurassic Express!

Lance Archer, Hechicero, Mark Davis & Josh Alexander throw hands with Jack Perry & Luchasaurus, until Davis THROWS Jack Perry into railing!

So maybe we can send Kenny Omega a message, and you join The Don Callis Family.” Okada motions to the watch on his wrist and says, “Decision time~!” The Don Callis Family leaves, Matt tells them, “See you next week.” The moment of truth is coming, will The Bucks sell out for good?

Joe is furious, but will he have no choice but to face the consequences of his own reckless actions? Or can he survive and take this title back after all?

Tony Schiavone is in the ring.

He welcomes us back to the show, and says tonight means so much, especially to him personally. The Greensboro First Horizon Coliseum is perhaps the greatest pro-wrestling venue in the entire world, and he thanks all the fans for being here over the years. So many great events he has witnessed for many man years, this would not be complete without one of the men who made this such a great venue, and who made wrestling on TBS so great. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome out Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat! The fans cheer as the living legend is here! Steamboat high-fives fans, then goes to the ring to join Schiavone.

Schiavone says in April of 1978, he was here as a fan when Steamboat and Paul Jones become World Tag Team Champions. Steamboat and Dusty Rhodes were even tag team champions in 1991 right here on TBS. This, ladies and gentlemen, is quite the honor. Steamboat says big shoutout to TBS, responsible for airing all this so everyone can have their moment. Shoutout to that board over there: Mount Rushmore of Greensboro – Flair, Steamboat, Dusty and Sting! The fans cheer that! And Steamboat knows we all know what he’d have to say his number one nemesis, Ric Flair. The fans “WOO~!” for The Nature Boy.

Well, Steamboat and Flair faced off in what was Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling in the Carolinas. Steamboat was just 16 months into this business, and Flair went to Jim Crockett talking about him. Flair said he liked what he saw and wanted to do something with Steamboat. Well- Wait, FTR is interrupting?! The fans boo as Dax Harwood, Cash Wheeler & Stokely Hathaway mockingly applaud. Steamboat says he knows those guys. Dax & Cash step into the ring, shakes Steamboat’s hand, and Steamboat says hold on, a quick mention. A few years back, they worked together, and Steamboat saw a bit back then what’s come to fruition today.

Steamboat sees them climbing the ladder, making it up. Stoke says he can’t believe he is standing in the ring with a legend! Now, Ricky, you know FTR, the greatest tag team alive today. The fans boo, Stoke says he’s just trying to introduce himself! Stoke gives his introductions, #BigStoke, and no he is not Denzel Washington. But Ricky, you are synonymous with pro-wrestling. The fans tell Stoke to STFU and Steamboat kinda teases Stoke on his height. Stoke says Steamboat has a lot of history in this building. But ironically, next Saturday, November 22nd, live on PPV, Newark, New Jersey, FTR makes history by becoming THREE-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions!

Stoke says it’d be an honor to have his favorite pro-wrestler front row and there live. Does Steamboat know Macho Man’s number? Haven’t seen Savage on TikTok. The fans boo that offensive joke and Cash takes the mic. Cash asks Ricky to calm down, Stoke can be “feisty” sometimes. But Ricky knows the respect FTR holds for him. In fact, for those who don’t know, it was back in 2022 that FTR was handpicked by Ricky to be in his last ever match! Yes, handpicked by The Dragon himself! Because not only does Ricky know they’re living legends, but modern day miracle workers! If anybody is gonna make Ricky look like even a shell of his former self, it’s FTR!

The fans boo more as the backhanded compliments continue. Dax takes a mic to say hold on now, hold on. Ricky, Dax has learned so much from you. Not sure if it’s common knowledge, but 13 years ago, Ricky was Dax’s trainer. He took Dax under his wing, it was such a blessing. Dax learned so much. He learned… Uh, Ricky taught him… Hmm, hold on. Damn, now that Dax thinks about it, Ricky never said one intelligent thing in his entire life. Oh, oh, wait! There is one thing! Ricky says yeah, one thing he didn’t teach Dax is that his attitude’s gone in the toilet! The fans cheer that! Dax says hey, he’s talking.

And the one thing Ricky did teach Dax is perhaps the biggest piece of advice Dax ever got: “Kid, it doesn’t matter how much you make, make sure you save your money.” And in 2025, that has never been more evidence. If Ricky had taken his own advance, he wouldn’t need to be here tonight! The fans boo, but Dax continues by saying, “Who would’ve thought at 2012, we’d be standing in the ring on TBS live? And when you were teaching me, who would’ve thought that I would’ve been a bigger legend than you ever were?” The fans boo more, Ricky tries not to get mad, but then he gets in Dax’s face!

The fans cheer but Dax dares Ricky to do something, old man! Ricky shoves Dax! Stoke says watch it, Ricky! Ricky then says time out, time out. Dax backs off, Cash tells Ricky to leave FTR’s ring. Greensboro cheers Ricky on, Dax tells Ricky to leave, but Ricky says hold on. Ricky grabs the mic again to say, “Going back a few years, I’d tell both of you to kiss my ass.” The fans cheer that! “But… Sometimes, discretion is the better part of valor. Sometimes, when you realize that I’m gonna be 73… I’m not asking or begging for any kind of sorrow or forgiveness, but I’m just gonna be the smarter man today.”

Ricky does step aside, Dax sarcastically says to give it up for The Dragon, and then FTR mugs Ricky anyway! The fans boo and they reel Ricky in! But then Brodido is here! The fans cheer as Brody King & Bandido fire hands with FTR! Bandido has Cash, Brody has Dax, and Brody RIPS Dax’s shirt off to CHOP! Then Brody CHOPS Cash! Bandido SUPERKICKS Cash, Brody ROCKS Cash, and Cash ends up on the ropes! Bandido deals the cards, BLACKJACK 21 for Cash! Brody adds a LARIAT to send Cash up and out! Dax staggers to his feet, Ricky DECKS him! And DECKS him! And SHOTEIS! Ricky’s still got the hands!

Brody scoops Dax, but Stokely YANKS Dax to safety! The fans boo but Brody & Bandido DROPKICK FTR back down! FTR is in retreat while Brodido stands tall with Ricky! Will FTR regret picking on another legend? Or will they find a way to take those tag titles for a third time?

BREAKING NEWS for next week!

With Full Gear on Saturday, November 22nd, AEW in Boston will be a THREE HOUR SUPERSHOW! Two hours of Dynamite, one hour of Collision, but always All Elite Wrestling! And as such, Hangman Page still has scores to settle with The Opps! The Cowboy already took care of Will Hobbs, will he handle Katsuyori Shibata next?

Yuta sputters, and Cassidy BREAKS his sunglasses as a sign that he is deadly serious!

Garcia RAMS Roddy ow, then he and Yuta mug Roddy. Kyle KICKS away on Claudio’s leg, but Claudio ROCKS him back!

Garcia CHOKES Kyle in a corner, Claudio military presses Cassidy and THROWS him into the steel!

The countdown is back, and now The Death Riders send Moxley! The Maniac himself steps up, perhaps confident this match is in hand given Briscoe is down and out. And of course he has a fork! He JABS away on Kyle’s forehead!! The fans freak out, but then Roddy runs up! Moxley fires body shots and then SCRAPES the fork on Roddy’s face! Garcia helps mug Roddy, but Darby is after Moxley! Darby ROCKS Moxley, springboards, but into a FORK ATTACK! Darby writhes getting forked in the back! Moxley then CLAWS the fork into Darby’s back!

Garcia & Moxley work together to THROW Darby into the steel! Darby tumbles down, and ends up in the gap between ring and cage!! Kyle is bleeding profusely from the fork attack!

The countdown is back, The Conglomeration is supposed to send Briscoe, but we know what happened there. Now things stay 4v4 as Moxley DIGS a piece of the busted mirror into Kyle’s already bloody head! Then he takes a taste before he JAMS Kyle down low!

Renee has an update, and AEW Medical says Briscoe is NOT cleared for this match now.

Then Claudio SMACKS Kyle with a chair! Kyle writhes while Moxley goes back to Roddy.

Garcia puts Kyle in a corner while Moxley parades Roddy around for the fans to see, and Dynamite goes to break.

Blood & Guts returns one more time, and while Claudio, Yuta & Garcia all mug Kyle, Darby is climbing up the cage! And he now monkey bars his way with the girders! The final countdown is here, but Darby ROOTFOP COFFIN DROPS onto everyone!! Naturally, last for The Death Riders is The Bastard, Pac! He is in no hurry, the advantage is 5v4 now.

But Briscoe is right back up, right back out, and he gets the toolbox! Briscoe TOSSES the box in, then he fires haymakers on Yuta!

Briscoe ROCKS Yuta, The Conglomeration makes a comeback, and Briscoe gives Yuta a snap suplex to the floor! The fans fire up as Cassidy opens the toolbox! Roddy fires hands on Moxley, Kyle brawls with Garcia, and Cassidy brings out a WRENCH! He CLOBBERS Pac with it in the corner! Roddy uses a chain to rain down FULL METAL FISTS on Moxley in the corner!

Briscoe then reveals he has a rope and a hook!? Briscoe sends that down to Kyle, and Kyle hooks it to a chair! Briscoe is fishing for chairs!

Briscoe reels in a big haul and the fans love it! Uh oh, they’re kinda stuck. Briscoe wrangles the chairs and the fans cheer again! But Yuta manages to grab one for his own! The others are brawling in the ring, Briscoe has a chair of his own, and the fans fire up! The chairs CLASH and CLASH like swords, and Yuta is disarmed! Briscoe JAMS Yuta up, then SMACKS him on the back! The fans fire up as Briscoe then gathers the other chairs to make a pile! Briscoe underhooks Yuta, but Yuta drops down to fight the lift! And then LOW BLOW!! The fans boo as Briscoe staggers around! The fans freak out as Briscoe is dangerously close to the edge!

Yuta rises to SMACK Briscoe in the head!! The fans lose their minds while Blood & Guts once again goes picture in picture!

Moxley and the other Death Riders still have control inside the cage, but The Conglomeration is still fighting. Garcia TWISTS Kyle’s ear using the wrench! Yuta has to be careful up top as he walks over to Briscoe. He HAMMERS away on Briscoe while The Death Riders mug Cassidy and Darby. Again, The Death Riders seem to be more toying and torturing The Conglomeration rather than going for a win. Kyle KICKS and KICKS and KICKS away on Garcia & Moxley, where is he getting this energy?! But then Moxley trips Kyle, drags him around, and HIP DROPS the leg! Then Garcia CHOKES Kyle with the chain!

The fans boo as this War Dog is here and he drags Darby away! Gabe CLUBS Darby, Garcia has Cassidy in a SLEEPER, but Cassidy puts his hands in his pockets! Garcia is furious, and he whips Cassidy, but Cassidy SHOTGUNS him! Claudio traps Cassidy’s arms, and Moxley STAPLES the hands in the pants!! Claudio throws Cassidy down so Moxley can add more staples! The fans tell Moxley is sick, but wait, what’re Gabe and Pac up to?

Gabe & Pac have set up tables near the entrance tunnel, and Pac is climbing up! Gabe CHOKES Darby using a belt, then he and Pac DRAG Darby up to the top with said belt! But Darby fights back!

CONGLOMERATION WINS!!!

Winners: Darby Allin, Roderick Strong & The Conglomeration, by submission

Incredible! Blood was spilt, but the team with more guts wins out in the end! Is this the end of the war with the Death Riders? Will Darby be alright after quite literally crashing and burning?

My Thoughts:

An awesome Blood & Guts special for Dynamite, but AEW continues to really push the envelope. Skye Blue may have overdone her blading there but maybe not since it didn’t affect her part in the match. And with Blake Monroe referencing her time as Mariah May, it was nice to see Toni Storm doing a similar callback with the glass on the fist. Weaponizing all of Mone’s belts was really clever, and Stat taking Mone and herself out with the table spot was good stuff. Using Mina’s suffering against Toni was a very clever move, and the Heels winning perhaps indicates a Face team winning the tag titles. Willow & Harley VS Julia & Skye, Toni & Mina VS Megan & Marina, those are going to be great matches, can’t wait to see how they turn out.

The reason this show was 2.5 hours was so they could also do Hangman VS Hobbs, which was still a great match anyway. Hobbs falling off a ledge to fall through the “electrical equipment” was an awesome way to finish that match. Joe & Shibata attacking after should’ve been obvious, and good save from Hook & Eddie. Escalating Hangman VS Joe at Full Gear into a Steel Cage match is great stuff, but I get this feeling that Hook will choose that moment to turn on Hangman and rejoin The Opps, and I can’t even be sure why. Hangman VS Shibata for the big go-home episode next week will be great stuff, too.

Throwing in that Don Callis Family attack on Jurassic Express was also good stuff, it really adds a little more to the Full Gear build. But surely The Bucks accept their Callis Family membership next week, if only because of peer pressure. Turning on Callis Family before Full Gear would do away with the Million Dollar match, but The Bucks could always grow a conscience during the match and betray the Don Callis Family then. The FTR promo with Ricky Steamboat left a lot to be desired. Granted, Ric Flair apparently left early, his injured rotator cuff was too painful to do much with. So that means the whole segment was rewritten last minute, giving a valid excuse to why Steamboat wasn’t sure what to say and how. But Brodido of course made a save, great stuff for them.

The Men’s Blood & Guts was also wild stuff, but they really had a lot to live up to with just how innovative the women were in their match. I still like the idea of fishing chairs, and the story overlap where DCF mugs Briscoe to put some doubt into the outcome. Gabe showing up was a surprise, and I guess he was needed to pull off that burning table spot, but they still could’ve done that with the Death Riders they had on hand. Gabe says he’s NJPW for life but then why’s he over here in AEW? Is he going to do some Continental Classic matches and maybe be part of World’s End before WrestleKingdom in January?

As for the finish, Cassidy hulking out of his hands stapled to his pants was wild, and the comeback from The Conglomeration was great. Interesting how the teams with advantage won out in both cases. But even then, they can do some compelling stuff with The Death Riders after this. Perhaps Moxley’s leadership will be in question when he’s the one who gave up, again. And what of that tease where the Death Riders would fight Don Callis Family? Is that not the case with how Briscoe and Fletcher will be facing off at Full Gear? Will we get even more Conglomeration VS Callis Family shenanigans going into the holidays?

My Score: 9.1/10
