Open Challenge: Adam “Edge” Copeland VS ???

The Rated R Superstar has Norfolk, Virginia all fired up as he heads to the ring. He gets his pyro and Metalingus, then steps inside, ready to continue on his journey of vengeance! Edge gets the mic to tell Norfolk, “I like it, I like it, you’re bringing the heat tonight. Your first time seeing me, it’s good to be here, man.” Fans cheer, and Edge says he’s in his gear. Now we know what this means, right? Time for the #CopeOpen! So then, he’s waiting. Who is gonna step up this week? Out comes #TAIGASTYLE, Lee Moriarty! Shane Taylor accompanies his protege, and he has a mic to say, “If you wanted a fight, homie, all you had to do was ask!”

Shane introduces “the baddest fight team on the planet,” Shane Taylor Promotions! They ain’t duckin’ nobody, they ain’t dodgin’ nobody, they ain’t singing for these chumps, ain’t dancing for these chumps, and damn sure ain’t letting anyone feel comfortable. But what they will do is take everything AEW has to offer, including their respect, that they will take at Edge’s expense! “And if you need more convincing, let me show you why they call him Taiga Style.” Shane cues up a highlight reel of Moriarty’s run through AEW and ROH, how he’s taken even big names like Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley and Katsuyori Shibata to their limits.

Back in the present, Moriarty has the mic now, and he says, “Taiga Style Lee Moriarty is the prizefighter of Shane Taylor Promotions.” Fans are torn on that, but Moriarty says he is one of the best young technical wrestlers in the world! Fans are also torn on that, but Moriarty says he’ll prove it by making Edge tap out in the middle of Moriarty’s ring. Edge says okay, then. So what was it? Tiger? Taiga? Well, Shane Taylor Promotions is doing a whole lot of teeth chattering, but they better be careful. If they’re writing a check they can’t cash, Edge is gonna beat the hell out of Moriarty. The fans fire up, the mics are put away, and the bell rings!

Edge and Moriarty circle, they tie up, and Moriarty wrenches to wristlock. Edge reaches back, cording holds, and wrenches to wristlock. Lee rolls, slips through, knuckle locks, but Edge wrenches back. Lee steps through to hook a leg, but Edge wrenches again to then hammerlock, headlock and hit the takeover. The fans rally and actually duel, and Moriarty headscissors. Edge endures, fights around, and pops free to then get the headlock back.

Fans fire up while both men are down! Shane paces, Moriarty and Edge rise, and Edge storms up on Moriarty to BOOT him down! Edge whips, Moriarty reverses, but swings into a HALF NELSON FACEBUSTER! Edge shakes out the bad arm, storms up and kicks Moriarty, but Moriarty wrenches out of the facelock to hammerlock and PEPSI- NO, Edge ducks the lariat to hit the EDGE-O-MATIC! Or is it the Cope-asetic? Cover, TWO! Moriarty is still in this but Edge huffs and puffs. Edge goes to a corner, climbs up, but Moriarty rises up after him! SUPER ARM-DRAG! Edge writhes but Moriarty is also down, his own shoulder bothering him.

Backstage interview with FTR & Daniel Garcia.

Lexi Nair is with Cash Wheeler, Dax Harwood and Red Death, noting how they’re facing The House of Black together in tonight’s main event trios match. Malakai, Brody & Buddy are “three men which you all have deep personal issues with. The question here is, can you all handle being on the same page?” Cash says yeah, after last week, they’ll be getting along just fine. Because they won last week and that should’ve been the end of it, but it wasn’t because The House couldn’t leave until they left these three all laying. So tonight is about revenge, and they’ll get it back in blood.

Dax says he doesn’t know if they can coexist, get along, that might not be a thing. But what he does know is that they have similar mindsets, and they love this sport. Deep down in their bones, in their guts, they love this. But tonight ain’t about love. Tonight is about a fight. So tonight, FTR & Garcia might just have to dance all over the House of Black. Garcia says they might just, because Saturday night is alright for a fight, isn’t that the song? But Garcia agrees, Collision is where he really needs to be if he wants to grow, if he wants to be a main eventer, if he wants to restore the feeling. House of Black put their hands on him and the people Garcia loves for far too long. Tonight, they get what’s coming to them.

Dax adds, “Top Guys, out!” Will #FTRedDeath tear down the House of Black once and for all? Or will The House Always Win?

Backstage interview with Chris Jericho & Sammy Guevara.

Lexi is now with Le Sex Gods and brings up their huge tag match later on in Battle of the Belts. She notes that Sammy is the only man who has actually won a title on a Battle of the Belts, and he says that is right! Sammy promises history will repeat itself as tonight, he and Jericho become AEW World Tag Team Champions on Sammy’s show, BOTB. “Ricky Starks, Big Bill, you guys have been great champions. Really great champions. But all great things come to an end, and that happens tonight!”

Jericho adds that Bill & Starks, it is just as Sammy said, you two have been great champions. They’ve surpassed everyone’s expectations. But tonight, Jericho & Sammy take it to the streets of Norfolk, and they fulfill their destiny, a destiny that started the moment AEW started. The streets giveth and the streets taketh away, so tonight, Jericho & Sammy do just that! Starks, Bill, they will seek and destroy to walk out of here the NEW AEW World Tag Team Le Champions! Will Le Sex Gods end the Absolute?

ROH World Six Man Tag Team Championships: The Mogul Embassy w/ Prince Nana VS Lance Archer & The Righteous w/ Jake the Snake Roberts!

Winners: The Mogul Embassy, by pinfall (still ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions)

Nana has the mic to tell production to shut off the music! “Ladies and gentlemen, you’re looking at the GREATEST ROH Six Man Champions of ALL time!” Fans boo but Nana says that “boss” Swerve and Nana were in the hotel, watching those Bang Bang Gang guys complain about how they needed more titles. Specifically, the ROH Six Man titles! But y’know what? Bullet Club Gold has a leader who couldn’t even beat Swerve in the Continental Classic! We’re looking at the greatest and most popular faction in AEW!

And y’know what? Since they’re such great guys, live on Wednesday Night Dynamite, Mogul Embassy challenges “you bums,” The Bang Bang Gang! If White & The Gunns are ready, then step up to the plate. Is Nana crazy for giving Switchblade and his boys this opportunity? Or will the Embassy simply cross BCG off the list?

Backstage interview with Preston Vance.

Lexi Nair is with Perro Peligroso, as well as Jose the Assistant, and brings up Vance’s match against Orange Cassidy for the AEW International Championship tonight on Battle of the Belts. Last we saw, Vance got a huge win in the 8 Man Tag- “PRESTOOON~!” Roderick Strong shouts as he enters the room. Roddy tells Vance not to worry, he, Taven & Bennett just want to wish Vance luck. Hold on, this is Vance’s time, and this match has nothing to do with The Undisputed Kingdom. So why’re they even here?

Y’know what? How about this? Vance will go beat Cassidy’s ass and become the NEW International Champion, and then Roddy can have all the time with Vance he wants because Vance will beat Roddy’s ass, too. Roddy likes the fire. Will Vance bring gold to La Faccion Ingobernable before pitting himself against the Savior of the Backbreaker?

Dustin Rhodes VS Willie Mack!

The Natural was part of the big win in the 8 Man Tag, and he’s looking to get going again in AEW. But will Dustin find his way to a golden opportunity? Or will that be sidetracked by the Return of the Mack?

The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. Dustin and Mack shake hands to show sportsmanship and the fans cheer. The two circle again, tie up, and Mack headlocks. Dustin powers up and out, things speed up, and Dustin sidesteps but Mack turns hip toss into arm-drag! Both men stand, Dustin arm-drags back! Mack storms up to CHOP! Fans “WOO~!” but Dustin kicks low, to then RHODES UPPERCUT! Then roll-up, TWO! Mack escapes and goes to ropes. Fans cheer and Mack resets with Dustin.

But Dustin ain’t done, FINAL CUT!! Cover, Dustin wins!

Winner: Dustin Rhodes, by pinfall

Dustin ate everything the big Mack had to offer, and he might have another run in him! Will the Natural end up a natural choice for a title opportunity? Best of all, though, is he helps Mack up and shows him respect. Will Mack himself one day get after some gold?

Bullet Club Gold speaks.

Jay White & The Gunns mockingly applaud and say, “Wow!” Impressive victory, Mogul Embassy. The Gunns know those guys, right? Yeah, they do. Colten knows “BrIaN CaGe~” and flexes like him. Austin knows Nana, and then mocks Nana’s dance. White has them calm it down, and tells the Embassy that they’ve gotten so confident and comfortable without the Collision Cowboys keeping them in check. But now the Bang Bang Gang’s names are on their lips. So if they wanna go for a ride, then saddle up! Just know that you’ll be going home sad and lonely while BCG goes home with those ROH World Six Man titles!

Austin says if you’re not down with that, they’ve got two words for ya: GUNS UP! Nana just made his guys a target, will the Embassy learn to Breathe with the Switchblade?

Hook is backstage!

The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil is in Norfolk just days ahead of his huge AEW World Championship match with Samoa Joe! But at the same time, Hangman Page is in action, and the Cowboy is gunning for whoever the winner will be. Is Hook looking to keep an eye on a potential challenger?

Backstage interview with Dustin Rhodes.

Renee is with The Natural, congratulates her one of her all time favorites on the big win, and asks how he feels. But Christian Cage interrupts as he walks in with The Patriarchy, Nick Wayne, “Mother” Shayna Wayne and Killswitch/Luchasaurus. Christian says it was a great victory to be sure, but he couldn’t help but notice that on Dynamite, the company Dustin was keeping. Christian wants to take this moment to let Dustin know, and pass this around the locker room if he wants, that if you’re a friend of Adam Copeland, you’re an enemy of Christian’s.

Dustin says first off, Christian needs to take that bass out of his mouth when he talks to Dustin. Dustin is a 35 YEAR veteran, The Natural, you got that? See that title? Since AEW has been in existence, Dustin has been chasing that title! He wants it really really badly, understand? So if Christian has the balls, he’ll put that up on Dynamite, and Dustin can show just how big and bad he is. Well, that sounds like a beautiful dream Dustin has concocted. And it’d be a bigger dream if Dustin’s dad was still alive to see it come true. Dustin steps to Christian but Luchasaurus steps up to reinforce Christian.

Christian says everyone knows Dustin’s dad is a legend in this business. No one’s ever used that word to describe Dustin, though. Oh, yeah? Well, it’s coming. A storm is coming for Christian now, and he better get his balls ready. Talk is cheap, and Dustin’s gonna tap dance all over that ass! Understand?! Dustin storms off, but Christian grins. Will The Natural tear down The Patriarchy with his own two hands? Or will Captain Charisma find another way to survive a fight with a living legend?

Hangman Page VS JD Drake w/ Anthony Henry!

Daily’s Place was homecoming for AEW, but tonight is a homecoming for The Cowboy! And he is itching for a fight as he aims for the AEW World Championship, will he get that out of #ScrapMetal? Or will this be one Workhorse that the Cowboy can’t wrangle?

A brawl breaks out in the parking lot!

It’s Sammy & Jericho fighting with Starks & Bill!! Neither side is waiting for Battle of the Belts to officially start! They’ll be brawling all through the commercial break, who comes away with the AEW World Tag Team Championships?

My Thoughts:

A great Collision, and I figured Edge’s Open Challenge would start the show. Great showing for Moriarty, and this is definitely a good trend already that up-and-coming Heels are getting this opportunities. At the same time, of course Edge wins. But we also got a good promo from Christian Cage with Dustin Rhodes. Dustin got what was almost a filler match win, but turns out it was to set this promo up that then sets up Christian VS Dustin for the TNT title this Wednesday. Pretty sure Christian retains with help from The Patriarchy, but maybe Dustin becomes an ally of sorts to Edge when it comes time for Edge VS Christian, part 3.

Great ROH World Six Man title match, but I suppose I should’ve known Embassy wasn’t losing. Archer & The Righteous looked really good even in the loss at least. Nana calling out Bullet Club Gold gave us a good Bullet Club Gold promo, and now we’re going to get a great ROH World Six Man title match for Dynamite. No idea if BCG wins, but maybe if they lose, that’ll convince them to join up with Acclaimed to form Bang Bang Scissor Gang. And good promos to hype up Battle of the Belts. I don’t see any titles changing hands, because it’s Battle of the Belts, after Collision, on a night full of other sports doing important stuff.

Really good match from Hangman VS JD with Hangman winning, of course. Same for Hook having an “impromptu” match, he of course wins to have momentum going into his loss against Samoa Joe. And really good match from Deonna with Velvet. Really good win for Deonna but the fans sure liked Velvet better. Good promo from FTR & Garcia to hype up the main event, which was an awesome Six Man Tag. That seems to be AEW’s strong suit for Rampage and Collision right now. House of Black winning was only mildly surprising but good move for the Faces to stand tall. We might get a No Disqualification rematch after this, and we’ll see where things go from there.

My Score: 8.8/10
