Backstage interview with Komander, and The Undisputed Kingdom.

Lexi Nair is with the AAA Cruiserweight Champion, as well as Roderick Strong, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett. She notes Komander is facing Orange Cassidy up next for the International Championship, but it seems The Kingdom has something to say to him first? Roddy shouts at “KOMANDER!” and thanks him for his time. Just so Komander knows, Roddy has an International Championship match on March 3rd at AEW Revolution. So imagine this: Komander, AEW International Champion, for five weeks, until Roddy beats him at Revolution. But obviously the only way that happens is with their help.

So what does he say? Do they have a deal? Komander shakes Roddy’s hand and they head out. But is he really going along with what The Undisputed Kingdom wants? Or is he just trying to stay on their good side?

AEW International Championship: Orange Cassidy VS Komander!

Cassidy continues to be a fighting champion in his second reign because that’s what he knows best. Will he keep on fighting to be the one facing Roddy at Revolution? Or will Komander become a double champion after this Freshly Squeezed Collision?

The introductions are made, the International Championship is raised, and we see just who is what around here!

The bell rings and Cassidy raises his hands. Komander stops that to shake Cassidy’s hand and hug it out. The fans cheer, and then the two tie up. Cassidy wrenches, slips around, and has the cording hold. Komander wrenches free but Cassidy wrenches to cording hold again. Cassidy then arm-drags for a lateral press, ONE as Komander makes that a ghost pin! ONE, Cassidy has his own ghost pin, TWO! Komander hooks Cassidy to roll him around around for another ghost pin, TWO! Cassidy bails out and fans cheer! Cassidy cools off, the fans rally up behind him, and he returns. Cassidy thinks about his hands, raises them, but Komander blocks again!

Komander arm-drags but Cassidy kips up to arm-drag back! Things speed up, Cassidy gets around to hook arms and whip, but Komander stops himself to hook Cassidy up! INVERTED GORY ESPECIAL! But Cassidy lands out of it to bring Komander up in the INVERTED GORY ESPECIAL! Komander turns that back around, and he has the legs! But Cassidy gets his hands free! To put in his pockets!! Fans fire up as Cassidy sits up, but Komander sets him down to shove. Cassidy ducks, leaps, but Komander trips him. Cover, ONE, and things keep moving! Komander avoids the dropkick but Cassidy kips up! The fans fire up for the standoff!

Komander torture racks Cassidy, swings him, but Cassidy uses that to RANA Komander out! Cassidy kips up again, builds speed, but Komander slides in! Then Komander fakes Cassidy out with the handspring and hero landing! Fans cheer as the two reset. Things get going again, Cassidy tilt-o-whirls, but Komander blocks the DDT! Komander suplexes, but Cassidy hits STUN DOG MILLIONAIRE! Cassidy keeps moving, ducks ‘n’ dodges, then tilt-o-whirl DDTS after all! The fans fire up, Komander bails out, and now The Undisputed Kingdom makes their way out to ringside. Fans boo but Roddy and the boys take seats on the ramp.

Collision goes picture in picture as Roddy waves to Cassidy and Komander gets back in. Cassidy bucks the O’Conner but Komander then wheelbarrows, victory rolls, and he turns Cassidy over for the MEXICAN SURFBOARD! Cassidy endures, tucks his head, and he manages to trip Komander into an O’Conner Bridge! TWO, and both men get up. Komander runs, tilt-o-whirls, but Cassidy makes it a BACKBREAKER! Cassidy stares down Roddy, then gets Komander’s leg. Cassidy has Komander for a LION TAMER, with thumbs up! But Komander powers around, kicks free, and runs, but into another tilt-o-whirl BACKBREAKER!

Bennett & Taven hear the fans chanting and get mad. Roddy keeps his cool while Cassidy puts Komander in a corner. Cassidy whips corner to corner hard and Komander bounces off buckles. Cassidy then whips Komander the other way, runs in, but is put on the apron! Cassidy blocks a punch to bump Komander off the buckles again and again and again! Cassidy lets off, Komander staggers away, and Collision returns to single picture as Cassidy climbs. Komander ducks the leap, then springboards to CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Cassidy survives but Komander reel shim in. Cassidy fights the suplex, whips Komander but Komander ducks ‘n’ dodges!

Komander tilt-o-whirls, to DDT! He finally gets it! Roddy asks Cassidy how that tastes! Fans rally up while both men are down, and Komander goes to a corner. Komander runs up to CHOP! And CHOP! Fans rally, Komander swings again but Cassidy dodges to SUPERKICK! Komander ends up in a corner, Cassidy fires “devastating” kicks! Then he stomps away on Komander! The ref counts, Cassidy lets off at 4, and the fans cheer as he winds up. Cassidy goes corner to corner, but Komander BOOTS him! And ELBOWS! Komander goes up and fakes Cassidy out, to then jump, DESTROYER! Almost a Panama SUnrise!

Komander torture racks, for a FLIPPING GUTBUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Roddy is upset that Komander hasn’t put Cassidy away, but the fans rally up. Komander climbs, aims, and FROG SPLASHES! Cover, TWO!! Cassidy survives again and Roddy is frustrated. Komander brings Cassidy up, gut wrenches, but Cassidy flails. Komander hooks those legs, but Cassidy fights to a victory roll! TWO, and Komander runs up! Cassidy ducks the roundhouse but not the HEEL KCIK! Then the BOOT! Komander keeps going, but right into a BEACH BREAK!! Cover, TWO!! “This is Awesome!” as Cassidy hurries to a corner.

Cassidy climbs, but Komander ROCKS him first! Komander goes up after Cassidy, but Cassidy throws body shots! Cassidy shoves Komander away, but Komander GAMANGIRIS! And GAMANGIRIS! Cassidy is stuck on the ropes, but Komander goes up and up to FLYING SUPER STEINER!! Fans fire up, Komander dodges an Orange Punch to  SPIKE RANA!! Cover, TWO!!! The delay in hooking the legs may have saved Cassidy but Komander goes right up again! But Cassidy rolls to the far side! Roddy distracts the ref, Taven & Bennett lurk, but Komander tightrope walks! SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT takes out The Kingdom!!

The fans fire up with Komander, he tells them he doesn’t need help! Komander gets back in, for an ORANGE PUNCH!!! Cover, Cassidy wins!

Winner: Orange Cassidy, by pinfall (still AEW International Championship)

The Kingdom didn’t help Komander, they hindered him! Roddy “applauds” Cassidy, and he holds the International Championship to Cassidy. Cassidy reaches out but Roddy drops the belt on the mat. The Undisputed Kingdom leaves, Roddy making sure Cassidy knows he has five weeks left. Will the Savior of the Backbreaker really be the one to end Cassidy’s reign?

 

Daniel Garcia’s been attacked!!

Matt Menard is with Garcia backstage, Garcia is bleeding from the head, mouth and nose, clutching his side! Refs rush over, they call for a medic, and the medic hurries to check Garcia. Did the House of Black “eliminate” Garcia even before the elimination match begins?

 

AEW shares footage from after last Wednesday’s Dynamite.

“Timeless” Toni Storm comforts her butler, Luther, after he took a boot from Deonna Purrazzo right to the face. Storm says, “I hope you’re happy, Miss Purrazzo! You assaulted my butler! It already was personal, but now it’s even more personal! It’s deep! This is deep! This is knuckle deep! And there’s no pulling out now!” Mariah May asks for Storm’s attention and Storm shouts, “What is it, woman?!” Mariah says she has a match this Saturday on Collision, and was wondering if Storm would want to watch it.

Storm says, “Darling, that sounds fantastic!” “Really?” “Yes! When is it?” “Saturday.” “Colli-sea-on?” “Collision.” “Fantastic! Where is it?” “Bossier City.” “Oh… Oh, darling.” Storm is not welcome there! She had some race horses there that had to be put down. Oh, dear. Well, Mariah will be fantastic! Whenever they see each other again, they will do something about… all of this. Mariah looks herself over, wondering what that’s supposed to mean. But Storm goes back to telling Deonna that they’re just scratching the surface. This isn’t over yet. Perhaps they’re somewhere in the middle. If that’s the case, who will be AEW’s leading lady in the end?

Mariah May VS Lady Frost!

Toni Storm’s number one fan is ready for her first Collision, but is this going to be a frosty reception? Or will the Coolest Wrestler You Know be the one to melt under the bright lights?

The bell rings and the fans rally as the two circle. Mariah steps to Frost, mocks Frost being shorter, but fans boo. Mariah then pie faces Frost, so Frost shoves back! Frost ducks the slap to fire off forearms! Mariah puts Frost on ropes to fire forearms! Frost puts Mariah in a corner to CHOP! “Ice cold.” But Mariah puts Frost in the corner, and puts some stank on her DOUBLE CHOPS! Mariah whips, Frost goes up and over and handsprings, to then mule kick. Frost runs to ROLLING NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Frost keeps cool while Mariah goes to a corner. Frost runs up but Mariah goes up and over, then throws Frost by her hair!

Fans boo but Mariah poses, runs, and SHOTGUNS Frost down! The fans are torn as Mariah poses more, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Mariah storms up to Frost at the ropes, brings her around and bumps her off buckles. Mariah digs her boots in, then smiles as the ref counts. Mariah lets off at 4, brings Frost around to another corner, and CHOPS! Frost felt that one, but then she CHOPS right back! Mariah CHOPS again, and Frost sputters. Mariah bumps Frost off more buckles, stomps a mudhole in, then drags Frost up to throw her out! Mariah dusts her hands off, swaggers around the ring, and lets the ring count start on Frost. Mariah then goes out after Frost, sees the signs the fans have, and rips one apart! Mariah then CHOPS Frost against the railing!

Mariah soaks up the heat up close, but Frost turns it around to CHOP back! Mariah SMACKS Frost off the apron! Mariah shoves Frost into the ring, soaks up more heat, and Collision goes to break.

Collision returns and Mariah CHOPS! Mariah fireman’s carries but Frost fights around to sunset flip and high stack! TWO, and Mariah ducks a roundhouse to GERMAN SUPLEX! Fans fire up as Frost rises! GERMAN SUPLEX! Mariah flounders and fans rally for “SUPLEX CITY!” Frost and Mariah get forehead to forehead, then Frost CHOPS! And DOUBLE CHOPS! Mariah snarls but Frost cartwheels into the Alabama Lift! CHILLER DRILLER! Cover, TWO!! Mariah survives and bails out while Frost fumes! Frost storms up to the ropes and drags Mariah up, but Mariah HOTSHOTS Frost away!

Mariah goes up a corner, and MISSILE DROPKICKS Frost down! Fans fire up, Mariah roars and runs corner to corner, but only into buckles! Frost GAMANGIRIS, then sits Mariah down to go corner to corner, HANDSPRING CANNONBALL! Frost puts Mariah in the drop zone, goes up the corner, but Mariah rises! Mariah CLAWS Frost’s back, climbs up after her, but Frost fights with elbows! Mariah drops down, Frost adjusts, but Mariah runs in! Mariah blocks a boot, fireman’s carries, MAYDAY DRIVER!! Cover, Mariah wins!

Winner: Mariah May, by pinfall 

Mariah may only be 2-0, but it’s a strong 2-0! Will she continue to follow in the footsteps of her role model and become a champion one day?

 

Swerve Strickland speaks.

“Seems like AEW has this bright idea to keep myself and Hangman Page going at one another over and over again with this Dealer’s Choice thing they got going on. I mean, we’re doing big business. So I understand the method to the madness. But Hangman, who do you have left? It’s up to you to go find some unfortunate soul to send my way and get this work. Me, what I have to offer for you, I’m gonna keep it in house. This is a family business, Mogul Embassy. I wanna sendoff someone that’s never been pinned in AEW, never been submitted in AEW. In fact, this is their very first singles match in AEW. They are chomping at the bit to show the world what they can really do.

“And that man is Toa Liona.” Liona is there to warn Hangman in Samoan of what’s coming. Will Hangman be able to make it through this Wednesday?

 

Hangman Page responds!

AEW returns as The Cowboy says, “Swerve, good choice, Toa, Mogul Embassy, big boy never been pinned or submitted in AEW. Well, Toa, Wednesday will be your first. And as for your match, Swerve, I get to pick your match, but I don’t think there’s anything that says I have to tell you who it is. So Swerve, I think you’re just gonna have to wait the whole effin’ show to find out.” Wait, did Hangman just give us a teaser? Is Swerve’s opponent gonna be one of a kind?

 

AEW Continental Triple Crown Championship Eliminator: Eddie Kingston VS Willie Mack!

The Mad King heard a man he doesn’t respect in Bryan Danielson is facing a man he does respect in Yuji Nagata. Therefore, Eddie is going to face a man he respects, with a title opportunity on the line! Will the Return of the Mack get him a golden ticket? Or will nothing, not even a good friend, stop the roll Eddie’s been on?

The bell rings and Mack runs right up to BOOT Eddie! Mack brings Eddie around, then suplexes him for a RUNNING BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Eddie survives and Mack can’t believe it! Mack waits on Eddie to get up, but Eddie goes to a corner. Mack runs in Around the World to FOREARM! And then side to side to BOOT! Eddie sits down, Mack goes corner to corner, CANNONBALL! Eddie is down, Mack sets up, STANDING MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO! Eddie is still in this but Mack keeps his cool. The fans rally and duel, Mack brings Eddie up. Eddie gets his dukes up but he’s wobbly.

Mack ROCKS Eddie, then cravats. But Eddie wrenches free, snapmares, KICKS and CHOPS! Then KICKS and CHOPS! Then KICKS and CHOPS again! Fans fire up while Eddie shakes out the cobwebs. Eddie hauls Mack up, the fans rally and Eddie RIDGE HAND CHOPS! And then regular CHOPS! Eddie whips, Mack ducks ‘n’ dodges and redirects to GAMANGIRI! Fans fire up while both men are down! Mack rises again, grits his teeth and hobbles around. Mack smacks his leg into working, and then sets up again, for a STANDING SHOOTING- OH, not quite! The bad leg kept that from going all the way, Mack almost piledrives himself!

Mack still makes the cover, TWO! Eddie goes to a corner, Mack hobbles again, and he runs corner to corner again! But Eddie moves, the cannonball hits buckles! Eddie then hits an EXPLODER! Cover, TWO! Mack refuses to stay down and the fans rally again. Eddie snarls, drags Mack up, and he brings Mack around. Mack fights the saido with elbows! Mack reels Eddie in, lifts, and manages a SITOUT POWERBOMB!! Cover, TWO!!! Eddie survives again and Mack is shocked! The fans rally up while Eddie is dazed and Mack crawls to ropes. Mack goes to the corner, huffs and puffs and he goes back for Eddie.

Eddie fires a forearm! Mack ROCKS Eddie back! Eddie CHOPS, Mack CHOPS! Fans “WOO~!” as the CHOPS keep going! Eddie roars, CHOPS, but then Mack CHOPS in return! The fans fire up as Eddie goes back for another CHOP! Mack wobbles, comes back, and he JABS! Eddie wobbles from that one, and Mack winds up to ROCK him with a haymaker! Then he blocks the enzigiri to ENZIGIRI! And STUNNER!! Mack hurries to a corner, goes up, and SIX STAR FROG SPLASHES onto knees! Eddie saves himself, then hits the URAKEN!! Cover, Eddie wins!

Winner: Eddie Kingston, by pinfall (denies Willie Mack a title opportunity)

It only took one Backfist to the Future and Mack misses out on that golden ticket! Eddie shows Mack respect then takes his leave, will anyone ever take the Mad King’s throne?

Wait, as Eddie is on his way up the ramp, Bryan Danielson makes his entrance! Is this because time is short? Or just that Bryan wants to ruin Eddie’s moment? Given Bryan doesn’t even bother looking at Eddie, definitely the latter. But then Eddie decides to join commentary! Will Bryan’s own moment be ruined when facing the Japanese wrestling legend? Or will he defy Blue Justice?

Bryan Danielson VS Yuji Nagata!

The bell rings and the fans rally up. Bryan and Yuji circle, feel things out, and then tie up. Yuji waistlocks, wrenches, and wristlocks. The fans chant “YES! YES! YES!” while Bryan rolls, clinches, but Yuji wrangles him back down. Bryan fights up, Yuji wrenches and wristlocks again. Bryan powers Yuji to ropes, then arm-drags free! Fans cheer this opening exchange as Bryan and Yuji reset. They circle, feel things out, and Bryan avoids a kick. Bryan lets the fans get fired up more for Yuji, and Yuji appreciates it. The two then go again, tie up, and Yuji powers Bryan to a corner. Yuji fires off forearms and he stomps away!

Winner: Bryan Danielson, by pinfall

For the first time ever, the American Dragon defeats the living legend that is Blue Justice! Eddie says on commentary that Bryan can talk trash and play mind games, but all he has to do is ask Eddie for a fight and he’ll get it. Bryan shows respect to Yuji, Yuji shakes Bryan’s hand, and the fans cheer. But will Bryan show any respect to Eddie after they go one more round?

 

Backstage interview with FTR.

Lexi is with Cash & Dax outside of AEW Medical, and she knows we saw a “heinous attack” take down Daniel Garcia. Do they have an update on his condition? No, they don’t, they’re still waiting on what the doc says. But this isn’t just about a match tonight, this is about a friend of theirs. They are worried about Garcia’s condition, but they are still gonna go out to that ring for the main event either way. But then Mark Briscoe walks over and tells his “brothers” that they’ve been to war against each other, so he would absolutely love to go to war with them this time. So if Garcia isn’t cleared, look no further, baby.

Dax says Mark would of course be the first person they call. But the situation with Garcia is touch and go right now. Ultimately, they will let it be up to Garcia. But yeah, if they need somebody, given they’ve spilt blood all over this country together with Mark Briscoe, then yeah, he’s the first call. They shake hands and hug it out, will the Sussex Country Chicken be called upon to stop The House of Black? Or will Red Death manage to stand and fight this fight?

 

Backstage interview with Brian Cage.

AEW returns as Renee Paquette is with The Machine, and says he asked for this time to speak. He clearly has a lot on his mind right now, what does he wanna say? Cage says damn right he’s got a lot on his mind. Let’s look at it real quick: The Mogul Embassy are no longer ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions; they failed to win the AEW World Trios Championships; and speaking of championships, why in the world is everyone talking about FTW Champion, Hook? That little guy in the hoodie, eating chips, sitting around in the background of Team Taz. Speaking of, that was all Cage! That FTW Championship wouldn’t even be relevant if not for him!

Cage was the first AEW FTW Champion, but now everyone’s all Hook this, Hook that! Hook all online, on the street, everywhere, all you get is Hook! And for what? That kid’s the size of Cage’s left leg! And that’s his smaller leg, too. But then Hook walks in and he tells Cage, if he wants a shot at the FTW title, he’s right here. Hook then mocks Cage’s “Who betta?” Hook heads out, will Cage have to prove who’s better?

 

Serena Deeb VS Robyn Renegade!

Class is back in session because the Professor of Pro-Wrestling is back in AEW! Will she remind everyone that she IS the best wrestler in the AEW Women’s Division? Or will even the Woman of 1000 Holds fail to bring down this Renegade?

The bell rings and the fans chant “Welcome Back!” for Deeb. Deeb and Robyn stare down, circle, and tie up. Deeb headlocks, spins, hammerlocks, headlocks, then goes through the cycle again and again before the takeover! Robyn headscissors but Deeb kips free, then they tie up again. Robyn headlocks for the takeover but Deeb quickly rolls through and gets a leg for the HALF CRAB! Robyn scrambles to the ROPEBREAK, Deeb lets go, and Robyn kicks at Deeb. Deeb eggs Robyn on, Robyn gets up and the fans rally up for Deeb. Robyn frowns, runs up, but Deeb gets around to full nelson! Robyn stomps a foot to switch the nelson onto Deeb!

Robyn thrashes Deeb around, but Deeb puts her hands up, and namastes her way out of the hold! Robyn is annoyed, and she SLAPS Deeb! Deeb SLAPS Robyn! Deeb headlocks, Robyn powers out, but Deeb ducks ‘n’ dodges to LARIAT Robyn down! The fans fire up, Deeb SPLASHES Robyn in a corner! Deeb whips, Robyn reverses and runs in. Robyn blocks a kick but Deeb uses that to bring Robyn in for a KICK! Deeb goes out, avoids Robyn’s shoulder and turns her, HOTSHOT NECKBREAKER! Fans fire up, Deeb storms in, and she drags Robyn up to TWIST ‘N’ SHOUT! Fans fire up with Deeb and she gets Robyn back up.

Deeb reels Robyn in, tucks those arms, and it’s time to DEEB-TOX!! Deeb isn’t done there, she stands on Robyn’s arm, then hooks it up, turns Robyn over, and SMASHES the knee! And SMASHES, SMASHES, SMASHES! Then the SERENITY NOW!! Robyn taps, Deeb wins!

Winner: Serena Deeb, by submission

The Professor put Robyn to the test and Robyn failed, which is good for Deeb! Deeb then gets the mic to say, “Louisiana, I have one question. Did you miss me?” The fans cheer because they did! Deeb wants to ask again, “Did you miss me?!” The fans get even louder! Deeb says for the past 15 MONTHS, she was home asking herself a myriad of questions. Is she coming back? When? How? And tonight, Deeb is standing in this ring and it feels DAMN GOOD to be back! The fans cheer that, too! Deeb says among all those questions, there was always one certainty: Why. Why is Deeb in AEW? Why is she coming back?

And she has a few reasons. First: to elevate the Women’s Division. Second: to put the WRESTLING back in All Elite Wrestling! And third: to become CHAMPION! Fans like all those reasons! Deeb says this isn’t just what she does, this is who she is! And Deeb says this is to put the AEW Women’s Division on notice: The Professor of Pro-Wrestling, the Woman of 1000 Holds, the most ELITE wrestler, Serena Deeb, IS BACK!! The fans are all fired up, but which champion will have to worry about Deeb first?

Six Man Tag Steel Cage Elimination Match: FTR & Daniel Garcia VS The House of Black!

After a lot of back and forth, brutal matches and brawling around the arena, it is all going to be contained inside the steel! The first team to get all three men out of the cage will be declared the winner, did the House attacking Garcia actually do FTR a favor? Or will Malakai, Brody & Buddy prove that the House Always Wins?

Well, no Garcia with FTR, so “Reach for the sky, boys!” Here comes Mark Briscoe! They made the call and now the numbers are even! Uh oh, the lights go out while Mark is making his entrance! RUN, MARK, RUN!! Too late! The House beats Mark down, and Brody TOSSES him off the stage! Mark crashes down through tables!! The bell rings, FTR run up on the House and they brawl on the ramp!

Garcia CHUCKS the chair into Brody’s face! The fans fire up as Garcia sends Buddy into railing! Garcia fires off on Malakai, reels him in, but Malakai back drops Garcia to the ramp! Garcia writhes, Malakai drags him back up and then puts him in the ring! That’s a start. Brody puts Dax in, Malakai brings a chair, then the House storms in. Dax fires off hands but he gets mugged 3v1! Buddy pops Dax up to KNEE him, into Malakai’s BOOT!

Dax rebounds, into Brody’s SKY HIGH! Garcia gets up to fire off hands! But he gets mugged, too! Wait, when did Cash climb up to the top of the cage?!? Fans fire up while Garcia escapes Dante’s Inferno! Garcia shoves Brody into Buddy and Malakai, and then all three turn around into the SUPER DUPER CROSSBODY!!! The fans lose their minds while all six men are down, and Collision goes picture in picture!

Cash rises up and he regroups with Dax and Garcia. #FTRedDeath are in one corner, The House in the other, and then the brawl is back on! Cash has Brody, Buddy RAMS Garcia, and Malakai stomps Dax! Garcia turns things around on Buddy to stomp away on him! Brody CHOPS Cash! Dax turns things around on Malakai to CHOP! Malakai blocks going into the steel, but then Dax blocks the same! Brody GRINDS Cash’s face into the chain link! Buddy now stomps Garcia while Dax rains down fists on Malakai! Dax goes way past TEN! Cash fires UPPERCUTS on Brody, Garcia climbs up to punch away on Buddy!

Brody LARIATS Cash! Garcia lets off of Buddy, Dax lets off on Malakai, and Collision goes to break.

Collision returns and Malakai still brawls with Dax. Malakai CHOPS, Dax CHOPS, Malakai KICKS! Dax CHOPS, Malakai fires a forearm and Dax responds in kind. Malakai knees low, whips, but Dax ducks ‘n’ dodges, then slides under to kick and suplex. Malakai knees free, Dax ducks the roundhouse, then Dax shoves to SPINEBUSTER! Fans fire up, Cash fights back on Brody with big hands! Cash whips, Brody reverses but Cash ducks ‘n’ dodges, only to run into a SCRAPBUSTER! Garcia has Buddy’s foot but Buddy fights free to fire off a strike fest! Buddy KICKS, stomps, but Garcia dodges! Garcia choke grips but Buddy V-TRIGGERS!

Dax climbs the cage while Buddy hoists Garcia up. Malakai helps Buddy TOSS Garcia into steel! Then Buddy CLUBS Dax to bring him down! No escaping just yet! Then Malakai & Buddy TOSS Garcia into Brody’s FOREARM! Then they DOUBLE POP-UP KNEE Dax! The House stands tall and fans are torn. Will they choose to escape now? Malakai nods to Buddy and they all go up the steel! But then #FTRedDeath stop them with CLUBBING shots to the legs! Garcia drags Brody down to fire hands, and Dax CHOPS Malakai! Buddy kicks at Cash, Cash falls back, the brawl is on again!

Dax runs and THROWS Malakai into Steel! Garcia digs his boots into Brody’s face! Cash & Dax TOSS Buddy & Malakai into steel! Then Buddy gets another! And then another! Brody is sent into a corner, Garcia & Dax whip him corner to corner hard! The fans fire up as Garcia and FTR high-five. FTR wants to leave via the door, but Garcia says hold on. They’re not done with The House just yet! Garcia wants to end this, so the brawling just continues! Garcia puts Buddy in a DRAGON TAMER!! Dax and Cash give Malakai the SHATTER MACHINE!! But Brody DOUBLE LARIATS FTR! Garcia lets Buddy go to fire off on Brody!

All six men are down again and the fans are thunderous! Dax goes to a corner and he starts to climb!

Brody storms after Dax and CLUBS him on the back! Brody climbs, and he CHOPS! Dax CHOPS! They CHOP while standing on the top rope! Brody gets the edge as he CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS! Brody then climbs, but Dax CLUBS him again and again! SUPER BACK SUPLEX!! They’re both down again, and Dax crawls to the door. The door opens, Dax crawls out, and then Brody DIVES to take Dax off the apron!! Both men hit the floor, so they’re both out! But that also means they can no longer help their team!

#FTRedDeath: 1; House of Black: 1

Fans lose their minds seeing Dax and Brody both down, Cash & Garcia are 2v2 with Malakai & Buddy while Collision goes picture in picture.

Cash & Garcia regroup in a corner, and they stare down Malakai & Buddy. They then brawl again! Malakai KNEES Cash, sends him into steel, and Buddy does the same to Garcia! Malakai stomps and drops knees on Cash, Buddy stomps Garcia. Buddy DIGS Garcia’s face into the steel! Cash shoves Malakai into Buddy! Cash throws hands on Malakai, but Buddy BOOTS him! Garcia runs up but Buddy BOOTS Garcia! And then PENALTY KICKS him! Malakai KICKS Cash around, then KICKS Garcia! Then he KICKS Cash again! Buddy stomps Garcia, then he stomps Cash. The House begins to climb from the corners!

Cash and Garcia hurry, and they stop the climbing! Cash goes up after Buddy while Garcia CLUBS Malakai’s leg. Garcia then climbs up after Malakai, throws hands, while Buddy SMACKS Cash off the steel! Cash CHOPS and CHOPS, but Buddy ROCKS him in return! Garcia digs his boots into Malakai against the steel! Buddy sends Cash down but Cash springs right back up! Collision returns to single picture as Cash and Garcia both have the House up. SUPERPLEX for the Power, SPLASH for the Glory! But then Buddy METEORAS Garcia onto the others!! All four men are down and “This is Awesome!”

Buddy shakes out his leg, hobbles back up, and he calls to Malakai. Buddy climbs, but Cash pursues! Cash drags Buddy down while Dax rallies the fans. Cash and Buddy brawl up top, Buddy trips Cash and that crotches him on the rope! Buddy continues to climb, but Cash hurries! Garcia anchors Malakai so he can’t reach the door, and now Cash and Buddy are at the top of the cage! They hurry over, they just have to touch the floor! Cash and Buddy beat each other up while dangling from the steel! Cash punches and punches, then ELBOWS Buddy! Buddy hangs on, and he SMACKS Cash off the steel! And again! Cash falls through a table!!

Fans lose their minds, Cash set that table up earlier! Cash still hits the floor, so he scores for the team!

#FTRedDeath: 2; The House of Black: 1

Wait, Buddy doesn’t hop down? Buddy climbs back up to go back in!? Buddy & Malakai want to HURT Garcia! But then Garcia whips Malakai into Buddy! Buddy falls through another table!! The irony is, he still scores for the team!

#FTRedDeath: 2; The House of Black: 2

Now it all comes down to Garcia and Malakai! Fans are thunderous as Garcia hurries to climb up on the far end! Malakai storms over, grabs a leg, and he YANKS Garcia down into a KNEE! Malakai storms up on Garcia to BOOT him into the steel! But Garcia ducks the kick! Malakai’s foot hits steel, he hobbles away, and Garcia storms up to get the leg! Malakai ROCKS Garcia, ROCKS him again, but Garcia wrenches, grabs the leg, and has the ANKLE LOCK!! The fans are thunderous as Malakai endures! Tapping out won’t change anything, he has to get out! But Garcia drags him back from the door!

Malakai rolls, he sends Garcia into steel! Then BOOTS him again! But Garcia rebounds to LARIAT!! The fans are thunderous while both men are down again! They rally as hard as they can for Garcia as he stirs. Garcia gets to a corner, drags himself up and starts climbing the steel! WAIT! JULIA HART appears! And she MISTS Garcia!! Garcia falls back and Julia smiles. FTR is furious with her but there’s nothing they can do! Malakai stands over Garcia, says goodbye, and then goes to the door. But Garcia grabs a chair and shouts at Malakai to finish what he started! “Finish it, you b*tch!” Malakai kicks the legs out!

Malakai has the chair, sets that down, and then hauls Garcia back up. BLACK- NO, Garcia ducks the heel kick to lift Malakai up! PILEDRIVER onto the chair!!! The fans are thunderous again as Garcia hurries around! Garcia finds ropes, but Malakai heads for the door! Garcia climbs on touch alone! Malakai crawls and is in the doorway, but BRISCOE SLAMS THE DOOR ON HIM!! Garcia gets up and over, then drops to the floor! FTREDDEATH WINS!!

Winners: FTR & Daniel Garcia

The Sussex County Chicken gets revenge right on The House and he helps his brothers in arms take the win! But is this the end of the war with The House? Or will things escalate until there’s nothing left of either side?


My Thoughts:

A great Collision here, great story stuff happening here again as well as great action. Great opening tag match from BCC VS STP, but of course BCC wins again. Shane & Moriarty get great showings but STP just doesn’t seem to be big enough of a deal yet to win on AEW. Maybe Tony Khan will let them stay on ROH and get some wins over there. Good little promo from Roddy with Komander to try and put the fix in on Cassidy, as Roddy doesn’t seem all that eager to face Cassidy for the International Championship. Awesome match from Cassidy and Komander, and clever way of keeping Komander strong by having The Kingdom unintentionally cost him. Cassidy VS Roddy is of course the match for Revolution but I bet Roddy keeps encouraging people to challenge Cassidy along the way.

Great little promo from Storm and Mariah, Storm shifting from being dismissive of Mariah to having excuses as to why she can’t be here in person. Mariah gets a great win off Frost, but clearly something has to give between Mariah and Storm. And good return for Deeb, she of course dominates. Just a shame it was Robyn Renegade, who is being built up in ROH, and not a local jobber who doesn’t matter. At the same time, I understand beating a local jobber doesn’t really reestablish Deeb’s power level, it had to be a more established name that lost. But great promo from Deeb, I feel like she should go right for the TBS Championship, even though Thunder Rosa also seems aimed at that title.

Great stuff out of Eddie VS Mack, but Mack’s gotta be more careful with his standing flips because that bad shooting star could’ve been a lot worse. But he was okay and finished things, Eddie of course gets the win there. And great segue with Bryan making his entrance “early,” and then Eddie was great on commentary during Bryan’s great match with Yuji Nagata. Eddie VS Bryan for the Continental Triple Crown or even just the AEW Continental title will be awesome stuff, and at this point it could go either way. Bryan saying this is his last year, I don’t know if he wants to have three belts that he’ll have to defend on all the different shows. Or maybe he does because he wants to get the most out of his final year, so he’ll happily be on Collision, ROH and NJPW Strong shows.

And great stuff out of the House of Black VS #FTRedDeath story. Garcia being attacked backstage (not that we ever actually saw anything) was a classic move to make his showing up at the end very heroic. And great move to also get Julia Hart and Mark Briscoe involved in this to bring some real excitement to the finish. However, I just do not like that they went with Escape Only as how you get eliminations for the win rather than No Escape, or even just traditional Steel Cage stipulations of pinfall, submission or escape. It just seems really dumb that you gotta ditch your team to win. And even then, they clearly made sure things would be even until the very end. Though, I will say Cash diving off the top was awesome, and Brody diving through the ropes to hit Dax was also great.

Garcia & FTR winning was the right choice for this, but it surely doesn’t seem to be the end here, either. What would be wild is they reveal the House never attacked Garcia, someone else did. And sadly it’s a bit of a Matt Menard “It was ME, Austin!” moment given he was first on the scene of Garcia’s attack. But I’m just thinking, the House gets a fourth male member so they can 8 Man Tag against FTR, Garcia & Briscoe, perhaps in… Blood & Guts?

My Score: 8.8/10

PLAY BY PLAY

Kenny Omega VS Blake Christian w/ Lee Johnson!

The AEW International Champion knows he has a Triple Threat waiting for him at Dynasty, so he needs to get himself ready. Will tonight be a tune-up for the Best Bout Machine? Or will he not like the taste of the Vanilla Babyface?

The bell rings and the fans fire up for “KENNY! KENNY!” Omega and Blake circle, feel things out, and tie up. Omega waistlocks, Blake pries at the grip, and Blake wrenches out to wristlock. Omega wrenches back, wristlocks again, but Blake rolls, cartwheels, and slips through to wrench. Blake spins Omega to snapmare, but Omega turns chinlock into armlock. Omega wrenches, then hits a headlock takeover. Blake headscissors, Omega kips free, and Omega hits another takeover. Omega fights off the headscissors, but Blake fights up to his feet. Blake powers up and out, but Omega runs him over! Blake kips up, then pie faces Omega! And flips him off!

St. Paul boos as Blake is anything but a babyface here. Omega shrugs that off and CHOPS Blake! And CHOPS! And CHOPS again! Blake sputters, Omega wrenches and reel shim in, for a BIG back suplex! The fans fire up, Omega runs corner to corner, but Blake dodges! Omega hits buckles hard, then Blake fires shots to the lower back! The fans boo but Blake fires more body blows. Omega fires forearms and haymakers, but Blake knees low! Blake whips, hurdles, then dodges to DROPKICK! Blake kips up, and pulls out a finger gun! Blake licks it, BANG, but Omega ROCKS him first! Omega then brings Blake to a corner, but Blake blocks the buckle bump!

Blake CLAWS Omega’s eyes, then steps out to the apron with him, APRON SPEAR! Omega goes to the floor, Blake builds speed, INVERTED DIVE! Direct hit at the ramp, and Blake high-fives Big Shotty. Blake puts Omega in, then springboards, but Omega gets under! Blake handsprings through, but into a V-TRIGGER! Lee gets on the apron, but Omega DECKS him! The fans fire up, Omega vows to end this! SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX! Blake sputters, but Omega hits another SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX! Blake is dazed but Omega isn’t done! Omega reels Blake in, hooks a leg, AOI SHODOU! The fans fire up and Omega takes out his finger gun!

Omega says BANG, runs in, and V-TRIGGER! Blake sputters, Omega Electric Chair Lifts! Fold for the ONE WINGED ANGEL!! Cover, Omega wins!

Winner: Kenny Omega, by pinfall

The Vanilla Babyface melted from the heat Omega is bringing! Omega picks up his belt but also a mic to say, “What’s going on?” The fans cheer, and Omega says it is unfortunate that he doesn’t get to wrestle every single week like he’d like. But when he gets the chance to come out to St. Paul, and when he promises them that he’ll make it quick, AEW’s fearless leader, Tony Khan, had no choice but to sign the match. But it will be a far different story when it comes to Dynasty! Omega not only has Ricochet, who the fans boo, but he also has the newcomer, though not so new to Omega, in “Speedball” Mike Bailey! The fans cheer that name!

And speaking of, here comes Speedball! The fans fire up as Bailey walks out, mic in hand, and he goes right to the ring. The fans cheer as these two are face to face, and Bailey says, “Kenny Omega…” Omega says, “Speedball.” Bailey congratulates Omega, and Omega says, “Thanks?” Bailey says he wanted to come out here and say that Omega is an inspiration to him. Bailey respects Omega. No, more than that, he admires Omega. As a wrestler, but also as a person, and as a champoin. But Kenny… Come Dynasty, even though Bailey respects Omega, he will not hold anything back.

Bailey won’t pull his punches, and he won’t hesitate for even one second to kick Omega’s head clean off and take that International Championship! Fans are torn on that, but Omega says, “So, by the sounds of it-” Oh no, Ricochet interrupts from the tron. “Do I have you attention? Okay, good, good, good. As much as I would love to be there in person, to smack both of you in your faces for even thinking that you’re going to leave Dynasty with my title… Fortunately for everybody involved in this situation, today is my wedding.” Ricochet models his white suit, and says he is dressed for the best day of his life.

“That is, until April 6th, when I continue to show everybody why Ricochet is Outta This World, and I beat you, Cornball, and I beat you, former Best Bout Machine, and I become the NEW International Champion! Oh, it sounds good, it sounds so good. I can see it now. So go ahead, continue to argue amongst yourselves about the inevitable. That being that after April 6th, Ricochet leaves Dynasty with both the girl and the gold. AHA~!” The One & Only adjusts his collar, but Omega tells him not so fast! Oh, well, he’s gone. But first of all, congratulations are in order. But that’ll be the only thing Omega will congratulate Ricochet on.

Because at Dynasty, make no mistake about it, it’s much like Ricochet said, it isn’t about making friends! Omega has a cat, he doesn’t need any more friends. The fans cheer that! Omega continues to say that as good of a guy as Bailey may be, and as big of a piece of garbage as Ricochet is, they aren’t Omega’s comrades. There is only one thing Omega has time for, there is only one thing Omega has room for, and it’s got to do with the thing on his shoulder, and that is his legacy. So consider yourselves just another stepping stone to solidifying Omega’s legacy. Oh and by the way, welcome to AEW, Bailey.

Unfortunately, while Omega wishes he could talk more, he must bid each and every one of you adieu! So until Dynasty, goodbye, MWAH! And goodnight, BANG! The Cleaner puts both his challengers on notice, but will the numbers spell disaster for him at Dynasty?

 

The Learning Tree speaks.

Chris Jericho says, “Last Sunday on Collision, I had Gravity’s mask taken from me. Or should I say, taken from us. But that’s okay, because I think it’s time for all the masks to be removed. It’s time to discuss some ugly truths that need to be addressed. Like the fact that you two (Big Bill & Bryan Keith) have been under the branches of The Learning Tree for far too long without using the wisdom that I’ve bestowed upon you. I need to ask you why I have to keep telling you time and time again to prove yourselves, I’m sick of asking! You need to think if it’s worthy for you to still be with Chris Jericho.

“If you think that, then it’s time for you to make some drastic changes, and go prove yourselves to me! Once again, for the last time, PROVE IT!” Bill & Keith quietly walk off, and Jericho turns his attention back to the camera. Bandido got his brother’s mask back, congrats. But it isn’t Gravity’s mask that Jericho wants, it’s Bandido’s! Jericho wants Bandido to feel the disgrace and humiliation that his brother did when Jericho tore that mask off in front of their family! And why would Bandido put up the mask? Jericho knows Bandido wants to be ROH World Champion again, so how about this? Title VS Mask for Dynasty!

Bandido, is it worth risking the humiliation? Is it risking the disgrace? Is it worth making your mother cry again when you lose the mask? Is it worth it? Jericho thinks so. See you at Dynasty. The Nueve is ready to risk it all, but will he be the one to lose it all in just 11 days?

 

MJF is here!

St. Paul is torn as the Scumbag walks out, mic already in hand. MJF goes to the ring, shows off MVP’s business card, then has them cut his music. MJF says, “Much like Michael Jackson’s legacy is far more important than that talentless hack named Prince…” MJF grins as the fans boo… “My words are far more important than everybody watching on their cheap TV sets in their trailer parks at home, and it’s damn sure more important than each and every one of yours.” The fans boo more, but MJF says, “Let’s play a game, okeh, Minnesota? We’re gonna shut the hell up. You think we can pull that off?” The fans boo, so no.

MJF says that’s what he thought. MJF tells MVP that he’s been looking at the card for two weeks straight. And he would like for them to have a little chit-chat so MJF can give an answer. MJF invites MVP out, and the fans cheer as the head of The Hurt Syndicate makes his way out here! Montel Vontavious Porter likes the fans singing along, “We Hurt~ People!” and chanting “M V P! M V P!” MJF says the thing we can agree on is that MVP is a legend in the sport of professional wrestling. And is that a new cane? That’s gorgeous! The fans cheer that, and MJF tells MVP that after everything with Adam Cole, MJF promised he would never do “friends” in this again.

And MJF has known “Montel” a very long time, and if there is one thing MJF has learned about him, it’s that when MVP clocks in, he doesn’t do friends, either. MVP does business. MJF has been looking at the card for a long time, and he has made a decision. The decision is… MJF would like to be in the business of hurting people. MJF offers a handshake, MVP checks if he means it, and wait! The rest of the Hurt Syndicate is here! The fans fire up as Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin bring their AEW World Tag Team Championships to the ring. Lashley looks MJF right in the eyes while the fans again sing the song, “We Hurt~ People!”

And then Lashley offers a handshake! MJF asks if Lashley means that, and he says up top! But then Lashley explains that he wants the card. What? The card, Max. Hand it over. MJF says okay, here. MJF gives the card back to Lashley, and then Lashley looks to MVP and Shelton. Lashley hands MVP his belt to hold, and then he RIPS UP THE CARD! MJF says okay, does Lashley wanna go? They can do this now! MVP says no, no, they’re cool. MJF asks MVP what’s going on. He thought they were cool. MVP says yeah, they’re cool, they’re cool. He has Lashley stand down, and MJF says okay, they can talk later.

MJF steps out, the fans boo, and even MVP seems a bit unsure why Lashley pulled MJF’s card. MVP says business never sleeps, and that they know they can trust him. But wait! Bryan Keith & Big Bill walk out here? The Bad Apple tells everyone to hold on. “So I guess it is true. Hurt people do in fact hurt people. But don’t worry, we ain’t out here to join your little group therapy session. We got real business to attend to!” Bill takes the mic, but MVP tells him to get his “lil’ b*tch” back on the leash so the men can talk. Bill keeps Keith calm, and he says he sees the Hurt Syndicate standing in the ring with the tag titles, but he doesn’t see a challenger. MVP says, “Me neither!”

Bill wants to tell MVP something. MVP wants to run his mouth? MVP wants to come out here with his cane and his business cards, but Bill can’t tell if he’s American Psycho or Iceberg Slim. Is he a pimp or a businessman? MVP says he’s a bit o’ both, and he’ll make his boys turn The Learning Tree into their b*tches if Bill keeps running his mouth. Bill says all he sees is a chump, and the MVP of being Lashley’s b*tch. No, we established who the b*tch was, but if Bill wants to go on about this… Bill says they should talk over the tag team titles. Bill was once a tag team champion, and he was never pinned nor never submitted for those titles!

Bill’s partner got pinned by Sting, and then Sting ran off and retired before ever granting Bill a rematch. Shelton says they don’t care! Bill says how about this. He and Keith need to prove themselves to Jericho, so Bill will take his rematch, so that The Learning Tree will take those titles! MVP laughs, and says Bill’s a comedian. But since Bill and his “girlfriend” want a shot, they should actually win a match! Then they can talk about an opportunity for the titles. MVP goes to leave, Lashley stares down Bill, and then the Hurt Syndicate heads out. Who will The Redwood have to take down to prove he and the Bad Apple are ready for this fight?

 

Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa & Toni Storm.

Renee Paquette is with La Mera Mera & the Timeless AEW Women’s World Champion, and brings up tonight’s main event. #ThunderStorm reunites for the first time in three YEARS, and they take on Penelope Ford and Toni’s future challenger, Megan Bayne. Yes, Toni remembers it well. They were so young, so unafraid. Nothing’s really changed. Rosa says no, everything has changed. Toni’s certainly changed! She has a butler now! And let’s not forget, the last time they worked together, Toni knocked Rosa out and tried to erase the face paint off Rosa’s face. Oh, we all make mistakes in the heat of passion.

Well, then make no mistake. Because Rosa wants what she never lost. Toni tells Rosa, “Enough of this gay banter. Megan Bayne, Penelope Ford, you two slop tarts are about to get double teamed like you’ve never dreamed!” Rosa plays along and says yes! Tonight, the games are over! Tonight, they fight! Tonight, you meet the team of… THUNDER TITS! W-What? No, it’s Thunder Storm. Not anymore! Strap yourselves in, girls, it’s gonna be a bumpy night. Well, whatever the team name, will Thunder & Storm strike down The Megasus & Superbad Girl?

The Protostar may have lost to Will Ospreay at Revolution, but he’s ready to redeem himself and rise back up the ranks. Will the Aussie Arrow shoot down this Hound of Hell? Or will Kyle come to understand why Brody is the King of Death?

Callis doesn’t join commentary, they don’t have the equipment ready, so he just throws Schiavone’s own notes at him. The fans tell Callis off, then they cheer on Brody. Kyle claims he needs a second with his tearaway pants, but then he BOOTS Brody instead! The ref rings the bell, Kyle fires off stomps, but he stops at 4. Kyle soaks up the heat, then OFF COME THE PANTS! Kyle flexes, but Brody stalks up behind him! The fans bark, Callis tells Kyle to turn around. Kyle soaks up more heat, but then he turns around into a CHOP! Brody drags Kyle up, CHOPS him again, and Kyle goes to a corner. Brody fires forearms again and again to sit Kyle down!

Brody digs his boot in, the ref counts, and Brody stops. Kyle flops out of the ring and St. Paul cheers Brody on. Brody paces while he waits on Kyle, and Callis gives Kyle a shoulder rub. Kyle rises, the fans tell Callis off, and Kyle hobbles around the way. Kyle slides in, but Brody drags Kyle up! Brody CHOPS Kyle, brings him around to scoop and SLAM! Then Brody runs to SENTON! Kyle sputters and the fans bark again. Brody drags Kyle back up, eggs him on, so Kyle CHOPS! And CHOPS! But Brody CHOPS and Kyle falls back! Kyle goes to the ropes, Brody stands him up to CHOP again! Brody runs, but Kyle follows! CALF KICK!

Brody sputters against the ropes and Callis cheers. Kyle stomps away at the ropes, but stops as the ref counts. The fans boo but Kyle drags Brody up. Kyle whips, but Brody blocks! Brody then swings, but Kyle dodges. Brody blocks the boot, and he LARIATS Kyle up and out! Kyle flops to the floor and the fans are thunderous! Brody has everyone barking as Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Callis is worried for Kyle as Brody storms out and drags him up. Brody whips Kyle hard into barriers, then high-fives the fans. Brody brings Kyle around to whip hard into railing! Kyle is upside-down, Brody high-fives more fans, and then Brody stands on Kyle! Brody flexes, the fans cheer, but the ref reprimands. Brody steps off, then he drags Kyle up. Callis keeps his distance mostly out of fear, and Brody whips Kyle into more railing! Brody holds Kyle up for photo ops, then he CHOPS! Kyle flops up and over into the front row! The ref has Brody give them space while he checks on Kyle. Kyle is okay to continue, but Brody just CHOPS him again!

Kyle ends up in the second row now, and Brody tells him night-night. Kyle manages to sit up, so Brody drags him back to the railing. Brody suplexes Kyle to the floor! Kyle sputters, but Brody puts him back in the ring. Brody climbs to the apron, but Kyle runs in and CALF KICKS him down! Brody stumbles backwards into the desk! Brody hobbles, Callis creeps up, but then Brody barks and scares Callis off. Kyle runs out to CLUB Brody on the back! Kyle puts Brody back in the ring and Dynamite returns to single picture. The fans again tell Callis off, but Kyle taunts Brody. Brody leans against the ropes, Kyle brings him up, but Brody CHOPS!

Kyle sputters, but he KNEES low! Kyle fires knee after knee into Brody, then soaks up the heat. Kyle stands Brody up, but Brody CHOPS again! And again! And again! Kyle BOOTS in return! Kyle whips, but Brody blocks again! So Kyle ROCKS Brody with a forearm! Kyle whips, Brody reverses, but Kyle ducks ‘n’ dodges! Only to run into a BIG BOSS MAN SLAM! The fans fire up while both men are down, and a standing count starts already. Brody rises at 4 of 10, the fans bark, and Kyle sputters back up. Brody LARIATS Kyle back down! And LARIATS him again! And then CHOPS! Kyle rebounds, into a BACKDROP!

The fans fire up as Kyle flounders out of the ring. Brody slashes his throat, builds speed, and DIVES! Direct hit and down goes Kyle! The fans lose their minds, that was literally the biggest tope possible! Brody stands Kyle up, whips him back into barriers, and Kyle takes a seat in the corner. Brody makes sure to position Kyle just right, and CHOPS him again! Brody barks, the fans join in, and Brody gets space. Brody runs in from the ramp, but Kyle jumps at him! Brody caches Kyle with one hand! Brody scoops, but Kyle slips free to POST Brody! And then he RAMS Brody into the barriers! Kyle goes to the apron, takes aim, and he PENALTY KICKS!

Brody staggers and drops to a knee. Kyle goes into the ring and he DIVES! Direct hit and Brody hits barriers hard! The fans fire up while both men are down on the ground! Callis coaches Kyle, St. Paul rallies for Brody, but Brody is dazed while Kyle rolls into the ring. The ring count is already 5 of 10, then 7! Callis wants the count to be faster, but Brody is up at 8! Brody rolls in, but Kyle is up top! Kyle aims and MACHO ELBOWS! Cover, TWO!! Brody survives and the fans fire up! Kyle begs that the count was wrong, but no, that was fair. Kyle drags Brody up, reels him in, but Brody fights the suplex! Brody then hits a CORNER EXPLODER!

Kyle sputters and flounders, and Brody stalks him to the apron. Brody drags Kyle up and reels him in, but Kyle fights the lift! Kyle is free to SUPERKICK! And SUPERKICK! But Brody still fireman’s carries! APRON DEATH VALLEY DRIVER!! Both men fall to the floor, the fans lose their minds, and Dynamite goes picture in picture again.

Kyle checks his arms to make sure they’re working, and Brody also stirs. Callis and the ref argue, but there was nothing illegal about what Brody did. The ring count starts, Callis seems to still complain about stuff, and both men are slowly rising at 5 of 10. Brody stands at 7, rolls in, and Kyle stands at 8! Kyle lunges in at 9! The ref checks with Kyle to make sure he’s still in this, and Kyle nods as he slowly sits up. Kyle shakes out the stars going around his head, and Brody hobbles over to him. Brody stands Kyle up, ROCKS him, and Kyle staggers back to the ropes. Brody eggs Kyle on, and Kyle rises back up.

Kyle winds up to ROCK Brody! Brody ROCKS Kyle, and Kyle drops to a knee! Kyle rises to fire another forearm, but there’s far less behind it. Brody ROCKS Kyle again, Dynamite again returns to single picture, and Brody fires more shots! Kyle fires back, the shots pick up speed, and Kyle fires a flurry! But Brody ROCKS him with just one! Kyle swings, Brody SWATS it, but then Kyle BOOTS and SUPERKICKS! Brody ROLLING ELBOWS! Kyle falls, Brody shakes out the stars, and he drags Kyle up to LARIAT! Brody shouts, “He’s Dead!” Brody reels Kyle in, hoists him up, but Kyle slips free to SUPERKICK a leg out!

Kyle BLINDSIDE SUPERKICKS, then he dragon sleepers! Inverted suplex into the gut wrench! TOMBSTONE!! Cover, TWO?!? Brody survives and shocks Kyle! Callis is furious, the ref defends the count, and St. Paul is all fired up! Kyle seethes now, and he aims from the corner. Kyle runs in, but Brody LARIATS again! The fans fire up while Kyle stumbles around on spaghetti legs! Kyle falls over, goes to a corner, but Brody runs up to SPLASH! Kyle sits down, the fans bark with Brody, but Callis gest on the apron! The ref storms up to Callis while Brody runs in at Kyle, but Mark Davis gets Kyle out of harm’s way!

Kyle UPPERCUTS Brody, then climbs up after him. But Brody fights the suplex with body shots! Brody SLAPS Kyle, fireman’s carries him, and now Davis distracts the ref! Kyle CLAWS Brody’s eyes, then slips down to GAMANGIRI! The fans boo as Kyle gets Brody back up, TOP ROPE BRAINBUSTER!!! Cover, Kyle wins!!

Winner: Kyle Fletcher, by pinfall

Dunkzilla gave The Protostar the assist, that’s a win for the Callis Family! But then Kyle goes back for more as he stomps and hammers away on Brody! Davis helps out while Callis directs them, but here comes The Powerhouse! Will Hobbs brings the straps down as he enters from the crowd side! The fans fire up as Hobbs rushes the ring! He fires forearms on Davis, and on Kyle! Hobbs DECKS Davis, he DECKS Kyle, and then Brody LARIATS Kyle up and outta the ring! The fans fire up, and Hobbs wants his fight with Davis NOW! Will the Book of Hobbs punctuate this chapter with a win? Or will the Callis Family quickly go 2-0 on the night?

“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs VS Mark Davis w/ Don Callis!

Dynamite returns as referees, security, and even Christopher Daniels are keeping Hobbs and Davis apart. It seems that AEW officials still need to work out the change in the schedule, they were hoping to do this match a little later. Meanwhile, Callis is finally on commentary to complain that Hobbs was going to assault him, a non-wrestler. Hobbs and Davis storm into the ring, despite the wishes of the refs and Fallen Angel. But fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” Daniels tries to talk Davis and Hobbs down, but Davis and Hobbs just throw security out of the way! Daniels says fine, let’s do it now!

The bell rings, and the fans fire up as DOUBLE LARIATS collide! And again! And again! “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Davis kicks low, suplexes high and hard, but Hobbs is right up! Hobbs kicks and suplexes Davis high and hard! Davis goes to ropes, the fans rally as Hobbs seethes, and Hobbs ROCKS Davis! And ROCKS him again! Davis KNEES low, then runs, but Hobbs CLOBBERS Davis at the ropes! Davis goes to a corner, Hobbs storms up, but Davis uses the straps to YANK Hobbs into buckles! The ref reprimands, Davis CHOPS, and CHOPS, and CHOPS! Davis scrubs his forearm in Hobbs’ face, then sits him down.

The fans boo but Davis runs side to side, and he SLIDING FOREARMS! Hobbs sputters, Davis drags him up, and Davis reels Hobbs in. But Hobbs BACKDROPS free! The fans fire up and Hobbs snarls again. Hobbs runs corner to corner, but Davis ELBOWS him! Davis runs up, but into the SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans fire up and the straps come down! Hobbs runs up to LARIAT! Hobbs then keeps Davis in the corner for “MEAT!” LARIAT after “MEAT!” LARIAT! Hobbs whips corner to corner, but then reels Davis in, but Davis kinda muffles the spinebuster. Hobbs is annoyed and drags Davis up, but Davis ENZIGIRIS!

Davis runs, but Hobbs gets him for a SPINEBUSTER! Cover, Hobbs wins!

Winner: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, by pinfall

Hobbs just handled town bidness, but Callis says of course Hobbs won, he got the jump on everyone coming in from the crowd! Callis’ excuses aside, Hobbs dunked Dunkzilla, and the Callis Family is 1-1 with one more to go! Will Hobbs finally move on from his past? Or will Callis not rest until the Powerhouse is demolished?

 

Backstage interview with The Patriarchy.

Lexy Nair is with Kip Sabian, Nick Wayne & “Mother Shayna,” but Christian Cage is conspicuous by his absence. Lexy specifically wants to ask Nick this: We’ve seen a big shift in Nick’s attitude both back and forth. He confronted Christian Cage on his excuses about Revolution, but then costs Adam Copeland the title last Wednesday. What is going on with The Patriarchy? Nick says things are starting to make sense to him as to why Christian did what he did at Revolution. But he will wait to speak his thoughts for when he and Christian are face-to-face.

As for last Wednesday, that just goes to show what happens when they’re all on the same page. “And how to properly… I repeat, properly execute a plan.” Nick heads out, Mother Shayna smiles and follows, and Kip… Well, he’s quiet but he still follows the Waynes out. Is The Patriarchy’s Prodigy proving he can be the man of the house?

 

Backstage interview with Hangman Page.

Renee is with The Cowboy, and notes that last week, he officially entered his name for the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament. The winner of that tournament will challenge for the AEW World Championship at All In: Texas. Now, AEW is in St. Paul tonight, site of- Oh, wait, Swerve Strickland storms in! He knows he only just recovered from the busted eardrum, but did he just hear right that Hangman wants in on Swerve’s world title? Hangman says, “B*tch, did I stutter?” Swerve tells Hangman to not dare even try it! Swerve will end him and he knows what Swerve is capable of! Prince Nana has Swerve stand down, Swerve has his own business to handle.

Swerve and Nana leave, and Hangman snarls. Will Hangman not only win the Owen Hart Cup this year, but finally take back the AEW World Championship? And will it be Swerve who meets him in Texas?

 

Exclusive sit-down interview with Rated FTR.

It was earlier today that Tony Schiavone sat down with Adam Copeland, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood, and notes that the friendship between these three has been a lot deeper than what we’ve seen on camera. They’re basically next door neighbors, Cope has been responsible for some of FTR’s biggest breaks in their careers. Dax already frowns and shakes his head. Dax apologizes but he wants to interrupt here. He feels that he must address the elephant in the room. Last week, he allowed his emotions to get the better of him. He owes both Adam and Cash an apology for what happened.

Dax just felt that FTR took a break from their goals, their focus, the AEW World Tag Team Championships, for four months, all to help Cope realize his goal of being AEW World Champion. After two tries, it did not happen, which just frustrated Dax. Cope has Dax stop there. The way Dax positioned that, it sounds like Cope is the one who pulled them away from the tag titles. Cope came back to help FTR against the Death Riders after they put bags over FTR’s heads and beat them down. That’s how this all started. It was not Cope’s intention to pull FTR away from anything.

Dax knows, he’s just saying, that’s why he has to apologize. Dax let his emotions get to him, and so he wanted to explain the preface. He just felt that FTR took their eyes off the prize, they were directionless for four months, and it had nothing to do- Cash speaks up now. Cash knows they’ve all let their emotions get the better of them. Cash cannot watch Dax and Cope fight like this while he’s caught in the middle of it. Everyone knows Dax and Cash are best friends, they’ve teamed together for the better part of 11 years. But maybe people don’t know as much about the friendship of Cope and Cash, everything Cope has done for Cash.

Without either of these men, Cash has nothing. When Cash was struggling, nowhere to live, sleeping in his car, Cope gave him a place to live and to be without worry so he could pursue all of this. Cope gave Cash chance after chance, Dax was there for those opportunities, so without either one, Cash doesn’t have this, he isn’t here right now. So he just wants himself and his two best friends to all be on the same page. Dax says t hat’s why he had to apologize. Dax took it too far last week, but he does think that now that they’ve helped Cope realize his goals and done their part, it is time for FTR to get back on theirs.

Dax tells The Hurt Syndicate that the AEW World Tag Team Championships- Cash stops Dax again, and says Cash feels there is still something here. Rated FTR has a lot of life left, and Cash would love if they went after the Trios Championships one more time, to see if they can stop The Death Riders. Cope agrees there. If there’s juice in the tank, then let’s do it. Cope tells The Death Riders, April 6th, Death Riders VS Rated FTR for the Trios Championships. Dax does like the sound of that. #TopGuysOut! Cope adds #RatedFTROut. Cash likes that.

So while Cope could not dethrone Jon Moxley, can he and FTR still free the AEW World Trios Championships? Or will there be no end to the reign of terror?

 

Swerve Strickland heads to the ring!

St. Paul fires up for “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Swerve grabs the mic and says, “Everybody knows exactly why I’m here. I’m here to call out Jon Moxley! Not the Death Riders, the AEW World Champion, Jon Moxley. You better get your ass down here right now and look me eye to eye, man to man, if you’ve got the balls to do so!” The fans fire up, the Death Riders’ theme hits, and The Maniac makes his way through the crowd. Swerve keeps his eyes on Moxley as he draws closer. Nana steps out as Moxley steps in, and Swerve tells Moxley, “I’ve been allowing things to go on like this for far too long.”

People have been asking since October as to why Swerve hasn’t been going after his AEW World Championship. Swerve says he likes to give people just enough rope to hang themselves, and that’s Moxley. Swerve tells him, “Look at you. What happened to you? Jon Moxley used to be revered here in AEW! You and the AEW World Championship used to be synonymous with each other. Now look at you. You hide behind Claudio, you hide behind Wheeler Yuta, you hide behind Pac. Hell, you even hide behind Marina Shafir.” The fans start up another chant for “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!”

Swerve says Moxley still has the nerve to say no one else wants to be world champion. But Moxley isn’t even worthy of it himself! And to be honest, Swerve thinks the reason Moxley hides the title in the briefcase is because he can’t even look at it. He can’t even face himself with that on his shoulder any more. Swerve says every time Moxley has a title defense, he narrowly escapes. And last week, he showed the world that. Oh, by the way, how’s Moxley’s back feeling? Moxley smirks, and Swerve says everything about Moxley that he used to be, is standing right here looking at him. The fans cheer Swerve on while Moxley nods.

But CLAUDIO IS BEHIND NANA! The fans freak out, and Moxley smirks. Swerve looks over and sees Claudio! Nana still doesn’t notice, but he starts to sense something’s wrong. Moxley says it’s fine, we’re all chill. And that all sounded great, if you believe it. But this isn’t about Moxley, this is about Swerve. April 6th is really Swerve VS Swerve. It isn’t about Moxley, stop worrying about Moxley. Moxley wants Swerve to ask himself, “Who are you, really? What are you really?” Moxley knows. He listens and watches, hears everything and sees everything, so he knows everything. He knows exactly who and what Swerve is, and he knows what Swerve could be.

And damn, has Moxley had high hopes for Swerve. But he has been disappointed before. On April 6th, Moxley gives Swerve a chance to step in and become everything that he can be. He just has to ask himself one question: “How far am I willing to go?” Not tonight, not just April 6th, but every night. When it is cold and dark and you’re in pain and you’re tired. When the world is baring down on your shoulders and you have no friends left. When everyone else is gone and you have the weight of the entire world on your shoulders. Will you endure? Will you put one foot in front of another? Or will you look for a way out? Will you take others with you?

There are a lot of questions Swerve has to ask himself. Swerve is not what he thinks he is, because he has not suffered enough yet! But he will. “My sport has been taken over by billionaires, Hollywood talent agencies and kids who see the world through an Instagram filter and don’t know their head from their ass! It’s guys like you that give me hope for the future. It’s guys like you that make me think everything I’ve put my mind and my body and my soul through was for a reason.” Fans do seem to like that. Moxley says he won’t give it to Swerve, though. He doesn’t care what kind of “punk ass organization they’re running around here.”

Moxley does not give handouts, so how far is Swerve willing to go? Moxley will go the whole way right now! But that shouldn’t be a problem for Swerve, Swerve is the Most Dangerous Man in AEW, right? Moxley and Swerve circle, but that lets Marina Shafir sneak in! BUT WILLOW APPEARS! Marina has a crowbar, Willow has a pipe, so it is a standoff on the apron! Swerve asks Moxley what’s wrong. Is he finally facing off with someone smarter than him? So let’s get this straight: Moxley wants to talk “unscripted violence” BS? Swerve IS violence! Moxley’s bled pints, Swerve’s bled buckets. Moxley’s been in Texas Death Matches, Swerve’s WON them.

Swerve IS the Most Dangerous Man in AEW! “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” “And in Philadelphia in 11 days, I take back that AEW World Championship, and I continue to lead the Dynasty Era! And while I’m doing that, you can have fun continuing to play Jon Moxley on TV.” Mic drop! The fans fire up again as Swerve and Moxley stare down. It is quite the standoff here, so Moxley has the Death Riders stand down. The clock is ticking, are Moxley’s days as champion numbered? Wait, Marina YANKS Willow down! Marina fires off on Willow, but Willow RAMS Marina into the barriers! Claudio gets Marina out of there, Nana tries to help, but Willow shoves Nana aside!

Willow goes after Marina, even as Claudio carries Marina away! The fans fire up but The Death Riders drag Marina back but fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” Marina is a Problem, but will the Babe with the Power be a problem solver?

 

The Opps commandeer a camera!

Been a minute since this has happened, but Katsuyori Shibata films while he follows Samoa Joe & Hook. Joe asks Hook a question: last week, Hook sunk in that Redrum for a little bit of time. Is there anything behind that? Nah, just having fun. Fun? Hook smirks and says c’mon. It was Max Caster, a super annoying guy, it’s fun to choke him out. Joe says aight. Anyway, look who it is! Caster is trying to convince AR Fox & Top Flight to all go solo like he did. Shibata slips around so we can see Joe & Hook walk up behind Caster. Caster talks trash on Anthony Bowens, how Bowens is doing nothing after The Acclaimed broke up.

Wow, really, Caster? What? The fans are literally chanting his name! “Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive!” They don’t believe that for a second. Caster then spots Shibata and asks what’s up. Joe snatches Caster into the COQUINA CLUTCH!! Joe puts Platinum Max right to sleep, and then dusts himself off. And then he tells Hook he gets it now. They shake hands, and Joe says what’s up, hometown boys! The Opps shake hands with Top Flight, and say have a good night. Hook says, “To the death.” Shibata’s text-to-speech says, “I see what you did there.” When Caster wakes up, will he realize he really needs to watch what he says?

 

Backstage interview with Jay White.

Renee is with the Switchblade and says he took a particular interest in Will Ospreay and Hangman Page entering the Men’s Owen Hart Cup. White has history with both men, so where does he stand on this? White says those are some big names. He thinks we should add his name to that, so what better time than now? Jay White officially declares for the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament! Last year didn’t work out too well, White losing to Hangman for the first time ever, mostly thanks to Hangman’s “buddy,” Christian Cage. And then White ended up injured, out for four months.

But this year, White will win the cup, go on to All In: Texas, and once again have a shot at the AEW World Championship! And if Hangman or #BillyGoat are lucky enough to cross paths with The Switchblade, so be it. But before we get there, there are plenty of other players backstage that would love to differ with him. How about one of the ORIGINAL Collision Cowboys return to Collision this Saturday. If there’s someone who thinks they’re more deserving of a spot than White, show up and state your case to The Switchblade. White aims his finger gun, who will accept this Open Challenge?

 

Top Flight w/ AR Fox VS Alex Findley & Devo Knight!

Darius & Dante Martin get a hero’s welcome as the hometown boys for Minnesota! But Lio Rush & Action Andretti are ringside, hoping this homecoming is a horrible one. Will Top Flight win one for Minneapolis? Or will they not like the taste of the Royal Flavuh?

The teams sort out, Darius starts against Devo, and the fans fire up with the bell. Darius and Devo circle, Devo waistlocks but Darius switches to SLAM! Darius then hooks Devo, turns him over to a cover, ONE! Darius spins away from Devo’s sweep, then headlocks. Devo powers up and out, Darius CLOBBERS him, and then brings him up to wrench and CHOP! Devo sputters, but Darius whips him to the corner. We see Big Bill & Bryan Keith are watching this backstage, perhaps scouting a team they can beat to then go after the Hurt Business. Darius runs in at Devo but Devo pops Darius up. Dante tags in, Darius CHOPS Devo, and Dante A-LIST LARIATS!

Darius tags back in, snap suplexes Devo down, then kips up to tag Dante. Dante slingshot SENTONS! The fans fire up but here comes Alex! Dante catches Alex and spins him, Top Flight gives him the LARIAT STO COMBO! Dante TOSSES Alex, then drags Devo up. Devo JAWBREAKERS back, then runs up. Dante ducks the lariat to waistlock, but Devo elbows him away. Dante goes to the ropes, Devo runs up, btu Dante ELBOWS him! Tag to Darius, then Dante goes up and over! Dante eggs Devo on, then blocks his shot for a JAWBREAKER of his own! Darius runs up to DECK Devo, then he BLASTS Alex!

Darius fires haymaker after haymaker on Devo, then whips. Devo reverses, but Darius gets under to atomic drop! Not the cleanest, but Darius hurries to BULLDOG HOTSHOT, and GAMANGIRI! The fans fire up for Darius as he steps in, COMPLETE SHOT! Alex hurries in and he breaks the cover! Dante whips Alex, Alex reverses, but then Dante slips outside! Alex hits buckles, Dante goes up and around to GAMANGIRI! Then springboard and CROSSBODY! The fans are fired up again, and Darius CHOPS Devo. Darius whips but Devo reverses. Devo runs up but Darius BOOTS him down! Tag to Dante and Darius SUPERKICKS Devo!

Dante SHOTGUNS Devo into the GERMAN SUPLEX from Darius! Devo flounders, Darius brings him up again. Dante climbs, Darius hits a SHELL SHOCK, then Dante hits the MAMBA SPLASH! Cover, Top Flight wins!

Winners: Top Flight, by pinfall

A great win for the hometown heroes, and BREAKING NEWS from Tony Khan! Top Flight will face Bill & Keith for Collision in Milwaukee, Wisconsin! Will The Redwood & Bad Apple sour things for Top Flight to then have their shot at the Hurt Syndicate? As for The Cru, they bark at Top Flight, still wanting their own fight. Will Darius & Dante give Lio & Action more than they bargained for in the near future?

 

Will Ospreay speaks.

“Ever since I came into AEW, the game has dramatically changed. It is time for me to move AEW into a new generation. Tony Khan is looking for the best in the world, and there’s only one person that fits that criteria, and it’s me. When you hear, ‘This is where the best wrestles,’ nah, bruv. This is where Billy wrestles. This is about restoring the feeling, and bruv, I AM the feeling!” The Aerial Assassin will return to Dynamite next week in Peoria, Illinois, but how will he sharpen that edge before the Owen Hart Tournament begins?

 

Mark Briscoe VS Konosuke Takeshita w/ Don Callis!

The Sussex County Chicken fought alongside Will Hobbs against The Don Callis Family last week, but it was the Alpha that ate. Will the NEVER Openweight Champion make sure the Callis Family ends tonight up 2-1? Or will Briscoe #ManUp and have some redemption?

The bell rings and the fans rally for Briscoe. Callis claims he wasn’t going to come out again, but he was listening to Schiavone’s commentary and felt he was struggling so he’s here to help. The fans just tell Callis off again while Briscoe and Konosuke circle. The two feel things out, tie up, and Briscoe headlocks. Konosuke powers up and out, then RAMS shoulders! Briscoe stays up, Konosuke staggers back, but he runs Mark over on the rebound! The fans boo but Konosuke keeps moving. Mark stays low, Konosuke rolls over the dropdown, but then Briscoe runs, dodges, and ducks the boot! Briscoe hits the crane stance, then ducks Konosuke’s haymaker!

REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUT! The fans fire up as Callis talks trash on Briscoe being bald and having missing teeth. Schiavone points out the only difference between Briscoe and Callis are the teeth.

The fans fire up and high-five Briscoe! Briscoe then hops onto the barriers, the fans cheer more, and Briscoe says BANG BANG! FOLEY ELBOW onto Konosuke! The fans fire up even more as Briscoe puts Konosuke back in the ring.

Briscoe goes up the corner while the fans cheer on “DEM BOYS! DEM BOYS!” Konosuke flounders, Mark reaches the top, and FROGGY-BOW FLOPS as Konosuke moves! GERMAN SUPLEX! Briscoe rises up!? And he LARIATS Konosuke down! Cover, TWO!! Konosuke survives, Callis storms off commentary, and he pounds the apron. The ref warns Callis, but Briscoe hauls Konosuke up. Konosuke fights the underhooks, wrenches out, and he ROCKS Briscoe! Briscoe ROCKS Konosuke! The forearms go back and forth, then Briscoe fires a flurry! Briscoe runs, but into a BOOT! Konosuke runs, but into a clinch! EXPLODER!

The fans fire up as Briscoe has Konosuke again. Konosuke fights with elbows, and he EXPLODERS in return! But Briscoe is up to EXPLODER! Konosuke is up to EXPLODER! Both men stagger to their feet, POWER-DRIVE KNEE OUTTA NOWHERE!! Cover, TWO?!? Briscoe survives, Callis asks what the hell, but Konosuke winds up this time. Briscoe rises, but he ducks the lariat! Briscoe kicks, underhooks, and JAY DRILLER!! Cover, ROPEBREAK!!! Konosuke’s long legs save him by a literal foot! The fans boo but Callis is relieved. Briscoe fires up and vows to end this! Briscoe puts Konosuke up top, “This is Awesome!”

Briscoe CHOPS Konosuke on the back! Briscoe then torture racks Konosuke, but Konosuke fights free! ALPHA ELBOW! And then the elbow pad is off, ROLLING ELBOW! RAGING FIRE!! Cover, KONOSUKE WINS!

Winner: Konosuke Takeshita, by pinfall

The Callis Family ends the night 2-1 as Konosuke powers through! Will the NEVER Openweight Champion continue to establish himself as the Alpha of not just AEW, but of the world?

 

The Death Riders speak.

Wheeler Yuta says, “Rated FTR wants to challenge us to a World Trios Championship match at Dynasty. Dax & Cash, I already hate your guts. But Cope, you’re the most sinister of all. You tried to rip me away from my family. You tried to manipulate me! My family is much stronger than yours.” Claudio tells Rated FTR, “You guys are pathetic. The going gets tough, you bicker and start throwing hissy fits. Is this Kindergarten?” Pac says, “Gentlemen, it’s your arrogance, it’s your cockiness, that we really find hard to stomach. You see, after everything that you’ve done to us in previous weeks, it is you who has the audacity to challenge us?

“Nah. That’s not how things work around here. At AEW Dynasty, it is we that challenge you! We challenge you to survive the Death Riders.” The Decoder, the Swiss Cyborg & the Bastard have given their answer, will no one stop the Death Riders from building their Dynasty?

 

Backstage interview with The Hurt Syndicate.

Alicia Atout caches up with MVP, Lashley & Shelton and wants to ask them about MJF. Is he in or is he out? Lashley asks for just a moment, please. Alicia steps aside, and Lashley says MVP told them to take a vacation, and then they see MVP hugging it out with MJF?! What’s that about? MVP wants them to understand. After that performance at Revolution, they earned that time off. MVP doesn’t get time off, he had to come to work, because business never stops, money never sleeps. Now, they’ve been talking about adding a fourth member for some time, and MVP made MJF an offer. What’s the problem?

So MVP likes MJF? Yeah. Okay, but this is MJF. The kid’s got a reputation. Shelton & Lashley don’t like it. MJF is grimy, slimy, and not to be trusted. Everyone says that about him. MVP says yeah, MJF has some reprehensible qualities. And that’s why MVP likes him! Those qualities could be good for their business. Now, they’re the Hurt Syndicate. If they really don’t want MJF in, MVP respects the dynamic, they can revisit this. But right now, let’s focus on the Big Bill situation. Are they all on the same page there? Call it. Let’s hurt people. The Syndicate heads out, but will they accept the Scumbag into the fold? Or will they find someone more suited to their business plans?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Collision!

With the trios title set for Dynasty, The Death Riders and Rated FTR send one man each for a showdown! Wheeler Yuta takes on Dax Harwood, will The Decoder be chopped down by Dax The Ax? Plus, while The CEO is looking for new challengers, she will step back into the ring for some action. Who will try and stop the Money Train in Milwaukee? Then, Jamie Hayter makes her own in-ring return and takes on Queen Aminata! Will Hayter still hit hard? Or will Aminata redeem herself from losing to Julia Hart?

And then, Jay White’s open challenge has already been answered as Kevin Knight makes his Collision debut! The Jet is ready to fly high in AEW, but will he learn to Breathe with the Switchblade?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!

As AEW rolls into Peoria, Swerve will be rolling into the ring alongside Willow Nightingale as they take on Jon Moxley & Marina Shafir in a Mixed Tag Match! Will the Most Dangerous Man and the Babe with the Power overwhelm the Death Riders? Or will Marina continue to be a Problem?

 

Thunder Rosa & Toni Storm VS Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford!

La Mera Mera reunites with her old teammate taking on some common enemies. Namely, it’s the towering female titan that wants the world title. Will The Megasus be rolling towards Dynasty, the Superbad Girl along for the ride? Or will they be struck down by the #ThunderStorm?

The fans cheer on “THUNDER TITS! THUNDER TITS!” while the teams sort out. Megan starts against Rosa, and Rosa embraces the new team name. The two circle, approach, and then Rosa dodges to headlock. Megan powers up and out, and she RAMS shoulders with Rosa! Neither falls, but Rosa bobs ‘n’ weaves to CHOP! Rosa whips, Megan reverses, but Rosa dodges! Megan hits buckles, Rosa headlocks, but Megan powers up and out again. Rosa dodges a lariat to fire CHOPS and forearms on repeat! Rosa whips but Megan reverses again, to then scoop and SLAM Rosa down! Rosa scrambles away, tag to Toni!

The fans fire up as Toni eggs Megan on, but Megan stands down to take in Penelope. The fans rally for Toni as she and Ford tie up. Ford headlocks, Toni powers up and out, but Ford runs her over! Things keep moving, Ford rolls over the dropdown to kick low. Ford then goes up and around to arm-drag! Toni gets up, Ford runs up, but Toni blocks that Shining Wizard! Storm slips around to SNAP GERMAN! Ford flops into the corner, tag to Rosa! ThunderStorm works together for a BACKBREAKER LEG DROP COMBO! Then they whip Ford to a corner, and Rosa sends Toni in for a SPLASH!

Toni sets up, and Rosa shouts, “Thunder Tits away!” POETRY IN MOTION! Rosa drags Ford to a cover, TWO! Ford toughs it out but Rosa drags Ford up. Rosa whips, Ford reverses, but Rosa ELBOWS Ford back! The fans continue to cheer on “THUNDER TITS!” while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

What a shocker! The Megasus just pinned the AEW Women’s World Champion! Ford celebrates with Megan, will the AEW Women’s World Championship soon belong to them?


My Thoughts:

A great episode of Dynamite, really jampacked, but also maybe a little too packed? I believe the vast majority of the women’s tag match main event was in the overrun. I know this is all live TV and TNT/TBS lets them have the overrun, but clearly something went way too long if the main event is right before the two hour mark. That aside, still a great main event that also had a great promo from ThunderStorm/Thunder Tits. I knew it’d been a long time since Thunder & Storm were on the same side, but I didn’t realize it’d already been three YEARS. Either way, Megan winning here makes sense, Toni is logically the underdog champion. This is very much Toni’s Rocky VS Drago in Rocky 4, and I’m sure Toni will persevere and win just like Rocky Balboa.

Very good opening match from Omega VS Blake, but of course Omega was winning. I’m unsure why Lee Johnson is suddenly Blake Christian’s pal. Did something happen to the #LEEJ team-up with EJ Nduka? But good promos from Omega, Bailey and Ricochet to hype up their Triple Threat, and we’ve still got the go-homes to go, who knows who wins at Dynasty. Good promo from Jericho to call out Bandido while also talking down to Bill & Keith. I suppose I should’ve foreseen Jericho wanting Title VS Mask as the blowoff, that’s not a bad choice. But then all the more reason Bandido wins the title and sends Jericho off into a spiral where he gets mad at Bill & Keith more.

That said, Bill & Keith confronting The Hurt Syndicate is a bold move. MVP logically gives him the same deal he gave The Outrunners and The Murder Machines, and while Top Flight is good, I would think The Cru costs Dante & Darius their match this Saturday. Good win for Top Flight here in their home state, though it was of course against jobbers. Their segment with Fox, Caster and The Opps was really good stuff, too. I wonder if Caster calls out Joe as if he even stands a chance, all because of his arrogance as the self-proclaimed Best Wrestler Alive. Still waiting on Bowens to return and challenge Caster.

Back to the Hurt Syndicate, I’m intrigued with how they didn’t outright accept nor reject MJF. MVP wants to give MJF a chance, maybe something happens closer to Dynasty, and I’m not even really sure which works out better. Jay White had a good promo to declare for the Owen Hart Cup, and he’ll have a great match against Kevin Knight this Saturday. Swerve confronting Hangman before then confronting Moxley was good stuff. I’m sure I’ve said something like this before, but while Moxley always gets his promos out, he needs to get it out in more concise ways. The fans in St. Paul certainly weren’t in the mood for Moxley to monologue again. But they perfectly had that chess game going, with Claudio checking Nana while Willow checked Marina. That Mixed Tag will be a lot of fun.

Very good promo from Nick Wayne, but here’s hoping TK writes Patriarchy’s story right. Nick Wayne is making it sound like he’s siding with Christian, but since Nick wants to wait to share his thoughts, he must surely be waiting to turn on Christian. It needs to happen, we can’t have Nick going Stockholm Syndrome like Yuta did with Death Riders. Very good promo from Death Riders to call out Rated FTR, and Rated FTR had a very good promo of their own. Dax was rather passive aggressive about not becoming tag champs again while helping Cope fight the Death Riders, so I feel like the trios title causes FTR to turn on Cope.

The Don Callis Family sure did a lot tonight, and gave us three great matches. It makes sense the Callis Family went 2-1. Kyle beating Brody was fine, Kyle needed to rebound. But he didn’t give us an answer on what’s next for him like he promised on Collision. And where was Okada to harp on Brody King losing to him? Maybe that happens on Collision this week. Hobbs being the one loss the DCF took also makes sense, as Hobbs might still be feuding with them to get through all their ranks and build momentum towards a title. Konosuke VS Briscoe was awesome, and a great win for Konosuke given he’s still NEVER Openweight Champion. I wonder if Hobbs and Konosuke also get in on the Owen Hart Cup…

My Score: 8.9/10

AEW World Trios Championships: The Death Riders VS AR Fox & Top Flight!

Jon Moxley survived another title defense thanks to Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta & Pac, but now they must defend their own titles. Not only that, but it is against the three men that won that $300,000 Rampage Holiday Bash battle royal back in 2022. Will the Death Riders continue their reign of terror? Or will these high-fliers really cash in here tonight?

The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and it is time to slam, if you wanna jam!

The trios sort out, and The Decoder starts against Darius Martin. The fans rally up as the bell rings. Yuta and Darius circle, tie up, and Yuta wrenches to a hammerlock. Darius reaches back to headlock, then he chinbars into a cravat. Yuta spins through to trip Darius and has a toehold. Darius endures while fans rally. Darius turns over, reels Yuta in and headlocks back. Yuta brings Darius to his knees, then waistlocks. Darius switches and SLAMS Yuta, then floats to turn Yuta over for a cover. ONE, and Darius avoids a leg sweep to headlock. Yuta powers up and out, Darius goes up and over, then Darius arm-drags Yuta!

Yuta gets up, Darius DROPKICKS him, and Omaha cheers. The fans cheer, Darius CHOPS, then he tags in Dante. Darius whips, Yuta reverses, but Darius rolls off Yuta’s back. Darius SOBATS, Dante sweeps, and Darius DOUBLE STOMPS! Dante covers, ONE, but Dante wrenches to wristlock. Yuta pulls hair to put Dante in the corner, and Claudio tags in. The Swiss Cyborg stomps Dante, the fans boo, but Claudio waistlocks. Dante switches and hops on for a SLEEPER! Claudio powers up and out, but Dante sunset flips! Claudio flails to stay up, and he drags Dante right up to his feet! Dante dodges, and he fires forearms!

Dante fires more shots but Claudio shoves him away. Dante dodges, ROCKS Claudio, but Claudio returns to CLOBBER Dante! The fans are torn but Pac applauds. Claudio fires body shots, then UPPERCUTS. Claudio pie faces Dante, whips corner to corner hard, then runs up, but into a BOOT! Claudio just comes back, blocks a boot, but not the ENZIGIRI! Dante goes up and up and RANA! Not the cleanest but Claudio still tumbles out. Claudio hurries back in, tag to Pac. Pac RAMS Dante, then slingshots up and over. Pac keeps moving, but Dante CLOBBERS him! Tag to Fox and he LARIATS Pac! And goes Matrix to then PELE!

The fans fire up for Fox and he has Pac. Fox whips, Pac reverses, but Fox stops himself. Yuta runs up but Fox TOSSES him! Pac runs up, Fox puts him on the apron and sweeps the legs. Pac is on the apron, Fox builds speed, just to slingshot STOMP Pac on the apron! Then he CANNONBALLS Yuta! But Claudio runs up to BOOT Fox down! The fans boo, Top Flight protests, but Claudio deadlifts Fox into the ring! Pac storms in and stomps Fox around. Pac drags Fox up, bumps him off buckles hard, then tags Claudio. They mug Fox, Claudio ROCKS Fox, and then drags Fox up. Fox tries to power forward but Claudio keeps him back!

Claudio powers Fox back, he tags Yuta in, and they mug Fox more. Yuta stands Fox up to reel him in, and he snap suplexes! Cover, ONE!! Fox stays in this but Yuta stays on him. Fox JAWBREAKERS free, goes Matrix again, hot tag to Darius! Darius CLOBBERS Yuta, BLASTS Pac, then BOOTS Yuta! Darius keeps moving, HOTSHOT BULLDOG DROPKICK COMBO! Then Darius GAMANGIRIS Yuta, steps in and COMPLETE SHOT! Cover, Claudio breaks it! Dante CANNONBALLS Claudio! Pac TOSSES Dante out, the ref reprimands him, but that lets Yuta CLAW Darius’ eyes! The fans boo but Yuta hits a PAIN THRILLER! Cover, TWO!

Yuta is annoyed but he keeps Darius down with a wristlock, and mockingly claps hands, while Collision goes picture in picture.

Yuta drags Darius up, bumps him off buckles, then tags Pac. Pac stomps Darius down, kicks him around, then kicks Darius in the side! Pac stays between Darius and his team, taunts him, but Darius fires body shots. Darius UPPERCUTS, but Pac KICKS him down! Pac taunts the fans, then brings him up. Pac tags Yuta back in, Yuta CHOPS Darius, then Yuta snapmares Darius for a KNEE DROP! Cover, TWO! Yuta clamps onto Darius with a chinlock to keep him down. Darius fights up, fires body shots, and he ROCKS Yuta! Slam Dunk Sunday returns to single picture as Darius runs, but into a DROPKICK!

Yuta tags Pac, then holds Darius down for Pac to drop a leg, brother! Pac looms over Darius, then drags Darius up to DECK him! Pac stomps Darius, CHOKES him on the ropes, but steps off as the ref counts. Claudio gets a cheap shot in! Fox protests but nothing can be done as Pac stands Darius up. Tag to Claudio and the mugging continues. The fans rally for “A R FOX! A R FOX!” Darius fires body shots and a CHOP! Claudio brushes that off, but Darius CHOPS again! And again!

Dante rallies on Yuta with forearm after forearm! Dante whips, Yuta reverse, Dante goes  out, up, around, and then GAMANGIRISR! Dante springboards to avoid Pac and CROSSBODY Yuta in one move! Dante FLIPS up and over Yuta, then sends Pac into him! Dante SHOTGUNS Pac in the back to send him out, and the fans fire up! Dante builds speed to go up, up, then tags Fox before he CANNONBALLS!

The fans boo, more refs rush out here, but The Cru has already choked out Darius & Dante! Will this be the end of this animosity? Or have Lio & Action only put themselves back on Top Flight’s radar?

 

BREAKING NEWS for April!

Dynamite returns to Boston, but it won’t be Big Business. It’ll be a Spring Breakthru! Get your tickets now so you don’t miss out!

 

Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.

Lexy Nair brings up the intense match Adam Cole and Daniel Garcia had, going to Hell and back, all for the TNT Championship. It unfortunately ended in a time limit draw, and some would say a tie is worse than a loss. Cole says he certainly feels that way. He feels sick to his stomach, physically beat up, and the worst part is, he had Garcia beat. “Daniel Garcia, I had you beat for that TNT Championship. The time limit is what saved you. And lemme tell you, the next time we do face each other, there will be no outside interference, there will be no time limit. It will be Adam Cole VS Daniel Garcia, for the TNT Championship, and trust me when I tell you, you’re looking at the next champ!”

Kyle O’Reilly says wow. And speaking of rematches, it has been about a week since their match with FTR. And what’s really bugging him isn’t the loss, it’s the lack of respect. Kyle & Roddy showed a lot of respect. They held out their hands, and what’d FTR do? FTR left Kyle wondering if they really are everything they say they are: The best tag team on Earth that’s ever existed in the time-space continuum! Kyle thinks they’re just insecure. Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! No. No, we are not gonna do that. That loss matters. We didn’t go through what we went through to get back together, to lose to the supposed best tag team on the planet.”

Roddy wants FTR to hear this. “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. The third time’s not gonna happen, fellas.” Cole says, “And that is Undisputed.” When and where will we see these epic trilogies happen?

 

Backstage interview with Kazuchika Okada.

Slam Dunk Sunday returns as Lexy is now with The Rainmaker. We’re not even a quarter into 2025 and Okada has gotten some very significant wins defending the AEW Continental Championship. Okada says yes, at Grand Slam: Australia, he beat Buddy Matthews. At Revolution, he beat Brody King. He put those dogs down. What does that mean? Okada says he means, he put those b*tches to sleep! Is The Rainmaker saying the Hounds of Hell are no more? Or will they come barking back and take a bite out of his belt?

 

Bandido VS Johnny TV!

The Most Wanted wants his revenge on Chris Jericho, but he was first challenged by the Guru of Greatness for this “big ratings” showdown. Will Bandido mute Johnny and head for The Nueve? Or will he find he’s not #TVReady?

Johnny disrespects Bandido during his entrance by throwing his big studded jacket at him! The fans boo, Johnny grins, but Bandido fires off forearms! The bell rings, Johnny pushes Bandido back, then wrangles him. Johnny rolls Bandido, ONE, but Johnny floats to rain down fists and stomps! Johnny gets his sunglasses off, the fans boo, but Johnny says he is TV Ready. Johnny taunts “cabron” Bandido, then KICKS him in the back. Johnny eggs Bandido on, “How’s my foot taste?” Johnny drags Bandido up for a NECKBREAKER! The fans boo as Johnny shows off the abs. Johnny KICKS Bandido, drags him back up, then fires body shots.

Johnny whips, Bandido ducks ‘n’ dodges, then he CLOBBERS Johnny! The fans fire up as Bandido keeps moving, another big forearm! And another big forearm! Bandido fires up, the fans are with him, and he runs in at the corner. Bandido jumps up to MONKEY FLIP! Johnny flops hard on his face! Johnny gets up in a huff, but runs into a military press! With ONE HAND! Bandido then THROWS Johnny down! Omaha rallies more while Johnny bails out, and Collision goes to single picture.

Bandido build speed, but Johnny slides in and LARIATS! Johnny mocks the clapping, then covers, TWO! Bandido is tougher than that, but Johnny drags him right up. Johnny reels Bandido in, MOONLIGHT DRIVE! Cover, TWO! Bandido is still tougher than that, but Johnny clamps on a dragon sleeper. Bandido endures, even as Johnny hooks a leg and twists him. Bandido fights around, reaches out, but Johnny drags him back! Johnny keeps on the stretch plum style hold, but Bandido still endures. Bandido fights up, fires knees, but Johnny CLUBS Bandido! Johnny INVERTED SUPLEXES, but Bandido lands on the apron!

Bandido blocks a shot, slingshots, but Johnny SHOVES him down! Bandido hits the floor and Johnny goes out after him. Johnny storms up on Bandido, stands him up, and whips him into steel steps! Bandido falls in a heap, Johnny stalks him and taunts him, but Collision goes to break.

Slam Dunk Sunday returns, Johnny runs in at the corner but Bandido BOOTS him away! Bandido then UPPERCUTS, goes up, but Johnny throws him down! Bandido rolls to his feet, runs back in, but Johnny dodges. Johnny runs back in, but Bandido SHOTGUNS him down! The fans fire up, Bandido covers, TWO! Johnny survives that shot but Bandido stays focused. The fans rally, Bandido paces, and Bandido drags Johnny up. Bandido gut wrenches to a Canadian Rack, that then becomes a torture rack! X KNEE! Johnny staggers to the ropes, Bandido says BANG! Bandido runs in, BLACKJACK 21 PLEX!! Bridging cover, Bandido wins!

Winner: Bandido, by pinfall

The Most Wanted was most certainly #TVReady! But he’s not done, as he grabs a mic to call out Jericho! “Come here, and bring my little brother, Gravity’s mask, RIGHT NOOOW!” Bandido waits, and here comes The Learning Tree! The ROH World Champion has “Big Bill” & Bryan Keith behind him, and he is holding onto Gravity’s mask. The fans boo, but Jericho smiles as he holds the mask up. The Learning Tree goes to the ring, and Jericho also has a mic. Jericho steps and says, “You know, Bandido. I wish I could tell you it doesn’t have to be this way, but I think we both know that it does.

“Because even after a generational career, one of the greatest in pro-wrestling history, I still have to remind you, everybody here watching tonight, everybody at home, who’s been fortunate enough to witness the brilliance of the Jericho Era… That you can only take me for granted for so long! That you can only take from me so much until I start taking back.” Jericho can be quite generous, and he can also be very dangerous. Bandido can just ask his family. The fans boo, but Jericho says Bandido’s terrified sister, his disgraced brother, and his weeping mother…! And Jericho is sorry he made Bandido’s mother cry, he really is.

But he had to teach Bandido a lesson! That’s what happens when you try and take the ROH World Championship from Chris Jericho! You understand him? Do you?! The fans boo, but Jericho says if Bandido wants the mask back, he can’t have it. Because Jericho wants Bandido to remember the humiliation that he felt when Jericho took this mask right off his brother. And the only thing worse than taking a luchador’s mask… is putting that mask on! Jericho goes to put Gravity’s mask on! The fans boo as Jericho wears it as his own! His big head doesn’t even fit in it! The fans chant “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” but Jericho tells them to shut up!

Jericho, muffled as his voice is now, tells Bandido that Bandido should just stand there and cry like his mother! Bandido DECKS Jericho instead! But now Bill runs up! Bandido dodges, BOOTS Keith, then dodges again! Bandido goes up, up, but into Bill’s big hand! SKYSCRAPER- NO, Bandido slips free, then dodges Keith! Bandido SNATCHES the mask off Jericho, and gets away clean! The fans fire up as Bandido gets his moral victory! But will he and Jericho go one more round for THE victory?

 

Megan Bayne speaks.

“I’ve watched others fight for what they believe is theirs: Titles, fame, glory. But none of them possess true power. They worship at the feet of champions, but even those champions don’t understand what it is to be chosen by the heavens. I have arrived here as the embodiment of fate. And when they bow before me, when they worship at my feet, they’ll finally know that the All Elite Goddess has arrived. I am The Megasus, and this is my kingdom now.”

Toni Storm speaks.

“Who died and made you God? Who came down from the mountains and bestowed your power upon my people? Megan Bayne, have you heard the mythology of the one they call Timeless? Hercules doesn’t have my thighs, I have an Oedipal Complex with myself, I can summon the Kraken from my ass, and Pegasus ain’t got s*it on me! I saw my reflection, and my reflection saw me, and we made love until the sun came up. And at Dynasty, I will cut off the head of the mighty Megasus, and I will hold it aloft for the whole world to see, and I will say… ‘By GAWD I’m good.'” Luther applauds in the background, will Toni Storm slay this female titan?

 

Harley Cameron VS Aminah Belmont!

Though she was rather coy about her- er, Harley-gram’s budding romance with The Beast Mortos, the wild Aussie is getting back in action. Will the Phoenix Princess #FEELTHEWRATH on Slam Dunk Sunday?

The bell rings and the fans rally for Harley. Harley and Aminah tie up, Harley headlocks, but Aminah powers up and out. Aminah drops down, Harley rolls over then bypasses Aminah to LARIAT! The fans cheer, Harley runs and KNEES Aminah low. Then a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! The fans fire up again and Harley stands Aminah up. Aminah throat chops, then straitjackets for the NECKBREAKER! Harley flounders to a corner, Aminah mocks the fans, then she runs in, but into an ELBOW! Harley runs up, ducks the lariat and ENZIGIRIS! The fans fire up for Harley, she ducks Aminah’s roundhouse to pump handle!

Harley lifts for the PUMP HANDLE SAIDO! The fans fire up with Harley, “FEEL THE WRATH!” And then she dragon sleepers, for HER FINISHING MOVE! Cover, Harley wins!

Winner: Harley Cameron, by pinfall

Aminah certainly did #FEELTHEWRATH, and Harley goes right to commentary for our main event! Will Harley have a good time watching Komander & Hologram officially debut as a team? Or will Dralistico y Mortos make everything tranquilo?

 

Backstage interview with Don Callis.

Lexy is with cruddy Callis and brings up all that is going on within the Family. We have not seen Kyle Fletcher since the brutal cage match at Revolution, and- Callis stops Lexy there. He says we all know what she’s up to here. She is passive aggressively getting Callis all worked up about the cage match, but here’s the thing. When you have Kyle Fletcher, just 26 years old, and already the future of pro-wrestling, “you have the luxury of putting nights like Revolution in the rearview mirror. What I’ve got planned for Kyle Fletcher, what we’ve got planned, is gonna dwarf anything that your little brain could possibly fathom!”

But one thing she said is right: Everyone wants to see Kyle! So tonight is a little treat. Ladies and gentlemen… The Protostar, the future of wrestling, and the New God of Pro-Wrestling, Kyle BAH GAWD Fletcher! Yes, Kyle indeed steps into frame, and he says there has been a lot of talk and rumors that he was in some hospital bed, licking his wounds, but he is here to set the story straight. Yes, the cage match, the entire rivalry with Ospreay, has changed Kyle. But one thing that has not changed is the fact that he is destined to be the greatest of all time!

So he will be at Dynamite this Wednesday, and he’ll make it very apparent what is next for The Family, and for The Protostar, Kyle Fletcher. Say his full name, baby! Callis and Kyle hug it out, are maybe feeling a little too good, but just what is next for the DCF in AEW?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!

Tony Khan has decided what’s next for Kyle: Brody King! Will the King of Death prove the Hounds of Hell are not done yet? Or will The Protostar use him as a stepping stone to the top? Then, it is some big meaty men slapping meat as “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs takes on Mark Davis. Will Hobbs finally get past the Don Callis Family with this? Plus, after Megan Bayne and Toni Storm each said their piece tonight, we’re getting a tag team match! Megan again teams with Penelope Ford against the reunited #ThunderStorm! Can La Mera Mera get her own revenge while helping Timeless Toni tune up for Dynasty?

And Kenny Omega not only returns, he is back in action against Blake Christian! Will the Best Bout Machine use the Vanilla Babyface as an appetizer for that big International Championship Triple Threat at Dynasty? And last but not least, after Dax Harwood left Cope hanging last week, Tony Schiavone will interview #RatedFTR to get to the bottom of this divide. All this when AEW arrives in St. Paul, Minnesota!

 

Los Titanes del Aire VS La Faccion Ingobernable!

This one has been a long time coming. Hologram was put on the shelf because of Dralistico, Mortos y Rush, but he was able to reboot, rebuild and refresh in time to help Komander fight back. Can the Titans of the Air fly high over LFI? Or will Dralistico y Mortos stampede over them like rampaging bulls?

The teams sort out, the ref has to keep them back, and then Dralistico starts against Hologram. Harley claims to have no idea who “Harley-gram” really is, but whoever she is, she has a fantastic chest. Wait, Mortos CLOBBERS Komander! The fans boo, but Hologram dodges, and Mortos CLOBBERS Darlistico! Hologram fires hands, Mortos headlocks, but Hologram goes up the ropes! Hologram then flips free, SOBATS, and whips. Hologram ducks under then hurdles over Mortos. Mortos leaps over, runs back up, ARABIAN PRESS and a roll! The fans fire up, Hologram dodges Mortos to then tilt-o-whirl and DEJA VU-

NO, Mortos stops the ride to chicken wing Hologram! But Hologram victory rolls through, TWO! Mortos has it, TWO! Both men stand, Hologram rolls Mortos but Mortos powers through to a cover, ONE! They both stand, Mortos HEADBUTTS Hologram down! The fans fire up, then Mortos runs to sunset flip! Hologram rolls through, Komander tags in, and Komander springboards to SPLASH! Komander bounces off the cover, comes back and tilt-o-whirl RANAAS! Mortos flounders away, Dralistico tags in. Mortos BOOTS Komander, Dralistico springboards but Komander dodges. Komander shoves, then he pops Dralistico up, but Dralistico DROPKICKS!

Dralistico runs back in, ducks ‘n ‘dodges to SHOULDER TACKLE! The fans fire up and Harley says this is “Luchamazing!” Dralistico fires up, runs up, but Komander blocks! Komander kicks Dralistico again and again, then goes up the corner! DOUBLE BOUNCE ARABIAN PRESS ARM-DRAG! The fans fire up as Komander then KICKS, SOBATS, and winds up. Komander runs to jump, spin, and wheelbarrow for the arm-drag! Komander fires up, the fans fire up, but Harley says she has to go now? Harley needs to call her friend. Harley says she forgot, but she’s gotta go, she’ll be back. Harley hops off commentary, who is she going to call?

Komander puts Dralistico on the apron but Dralistico mule kicks Hologram! Dralistico dodges Komander’s tiger feint kick, and Komander ends up on the apron. Mortos runs up, but Komander GAMANGIRIS! Dralistico is there to FLYING RANA Komander to the floor! Mortos TOPE TORNILLOS! Down goes Hologram and the fans fire up! Fans lose their minds, Harley scampers off, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Mortos drags Hologram up, SMACKS him back down, and Dralistico sends Komander into railing! Then Dralistico drags Komander up, RAILING BACKBREAKER! Dralistico shoves Komander back into the ring, then sits him up to go after the mask! The ref reprimands, Dralistico stops, and Dralistico argues with the ref. Dralistico then drags Komander up, brings him around, and whips him to ropes. Dralistico ELBOWS Komander down, tags in Mortos, and Mortos fires up. Mortos NECK TWISTS Komander! Cover, TWO! Komander stays in this, but Mortos clamps onto him again. Mortos YANKS Komander up with his mask to then SLAM him down!

Mortos stands Komander back up to SMACK him down! Komander goes to ropes, Mortos storms up, and Mortos wrenches Komander to tag in Dralistico. Komander tires to fight back but LFI still mugs him. Dralistico CHOPS Komander, then says uno mas! But then Dralistico DECKS Komander! Komander rises up, and Darlistico KICKS the leg out! Dralistico dusts himself off, puts up the ingobernable fist, then looms over Komander. Abrahantes coaches Komander, but Dralistico has him in a modified Half Crab! Komander endures, Dralistico lets go, and the fans rally up. Dralistico stands Komander up, whips him to the corner, then runs up to SPLASH!

Dralistico sits Komander down, goes side to side, and SUPERKICKS! Dralistico taunts Hologram, then soaks up the heat. But wait! “Harley-gram” is here! And suspiciously wearing gear just like Harley’s. Dralistico TOSSES Hologram in just for fun, then stands him up to CHOP! Dralistico runs at Komander in the other corner, but Komander breaks free! Slam Dunk Sunday returns to single picture as Dralistico hits buckles! Hologram runs in and LARIATS! Komander SUPERKICKS! Komander feeds Dralistico to Hologram’s SPANISH FLY! Hologram then helps Komander go up, up, and PHOENIX SPLASH! Cover, Mortos breaks it!

The fans rally, Dralistico and Komander crawl. “This is Awesome!” as we get hot tags to Mortos and Hologram! Hologram dodges Mortos, SOBATS, and KICKS! And HEEL KICKS! Mortos wobbles, Hologram goes up the ropes to QUEBRADA, but into Mortos’ Alabama Lift! Hologram powers through to DESTROYER!! Mortos staggers around, flops out of the ring, and Hologram builds speed! Hologram DIVES, direct hit on Mortos and they go all the way to the ramp! The fans are thunderous and Hologram hurries to get Mortos in the ring. Fans hope these teams “FIGHT FOREVER!” but Komander goes up, CIELITO LINDO!

Hologram is back in, he hooks Mortos up and rolls, GHOST PIN! Dralistico barrels in and breaks it! The fans rally, Harley-gram joins in with Abrahantes, and we get hot tags to Komander and Dralistico! Komander goes up, Dralistico ROCKS him first! Dralistico climbs up after Komander, fires shots, but Komander fires back! They go back and forth, even with CHOPS! Dralistico fires HEADBUTT after HEADBUTT, then brings Komander up! SUPER- NO, Komander slips free and ENZIGIRIS! The fans fire up again as Komander roars! Komander runs and goes up, up, and SUPER POISON-RANAS!! The fans are thunderous again, but Mortos scoops Komander!

Mortos hits the BEAST BREAKER!! Then he runs to FLYING ELBOW! Hologram runs in and goes up, then up to POISON-RANA! But Dralistico FLYING CRUCIFIX DRIVERS!! Komander is back to fire hands with Dralistico, and we get DOUBLE ROUNDHOUSES!! Both men fall, but Komander falls onto Dralistico! Cover, TWO!! Dralistico survives and Omaha is electric!

Komander staggers then falls, Dralistico hurries to cover, HOLOGRAM BREAKS IT! The fans are thunderous again as Dralistico runs to SCREW HIGH KICK! Dralistico whips, Hologram reverses, but Dralistico slides out! And he grabs Abrahantes as a hostage! Hologram still DIVES! Direct hit on Dralistico, and a scary landing for Hologram! Mortos storms over to TOSS Abrahantes away! But then he locks eyes with Harley-gram. Harley-gram pets Mortos’ mane, but Dralistico tells Mortos to focus!

Komander runs the tightrope! SALUTE MOONSAULT!! Direct hit on LFI and Omaha is thunderous again! Komander puts Dralistico in, Hologram is back up! Torture rack for the PORTAL BOMB!! And then CIELITO LINDO!! Cover, TITANES WIN!!

Winners: Los Titanes del Aire, by pinfall

A powerful first match as a true duo, and LFI is in retreat! Will Komander & Hologram start to take over AEW? Will “Harley-gram” be along for the ride?


My Thoughts:

A great second part to Slam Dunk Weekend, and again I like just one hour Collision. As they did last night, the title match opened, and it was great stuff. But of course Death Riders retained, a random special episode was not where they’d lose the titles. Plus, The Cru went after Top Flight to restart their rivalry. Very good promo from Okada to talk down to the Hounds, and very good promo from Kyle & Callis to talk themselves up. Kyle VS Brody will be great stuff, but I feel like Okada and Brody can circle back around to a rematch for Dynasty. It’s mostly that Brody won’t take kindly to Okada calling him and Buddy “b*tches” again.

Great match from Bandido VS Johnny, and a very good promo segment with The Learning Tree. Bandido getting the mask back was good stuff, and I bet we’ll get one more ROH World Championship match between Bandido and Jericho. I would hope this time Bandido wins and we can start moving towards a Learning Tree fallout with Bill turning on Jericho. Supercard of Honor isn’t until May, maybe we can build up other names from within the ROH roster to start challenging for the top title. And very good promo from The Undisputed Kingdom to hype up both the eventual Garcia VS Cole 3 and FTR VS Kyle & Roddy 3 matches. Those might even be at Dynasty.

And of course we got story tie-ins of Harley with LFI. Harley got a good win over Aminah, and she of course played a part in Los Titanes winning over LFI. Rush needs to return to have a talk with Mortos, and of course this “Beauty & The Beast Mortos” story is going to keep on going until Harley-gram is exposed as Harley.

My Score: 8.8/10
