Backstage interview with Willow Nightingale & Kris Statlander.
Tony Schiavone is with The Babe with the Power, the Galaxy’s Greatest, and apparently Kris’ pet lizard as it sits on her shoulder. Schiavone congratulates them on the tag team win on Rampage, a great start to 2024. But he has to ask, Stokely Hathaway has taken an interest into their careers, and especially Kris. Willow is glad Schiavone also noticed. That was just… weird. But moving on, Willow & Kris are gonna focus on what they’re excited about! And in 2024, Willow is focusing on that hot start with her buddy, Kris. They got a win on TNT last night, they gotta keep it rolling!
Kris agrees, they will keep this rolling. 2023 was huge for them both, with Willow winning the Women’s Owen Hart Cup and Kris winning the TBS Championship, and so they’ll keep that going. 2024 will be bigger and better because these two are among the best wrestlers in AEW, bottom line. Right, Boots? The lizard sits there, so he must agree. Will the Galaxy’s Greatest Babes with the Power take over AEW as a dynamic duo?
Hook speaks.
“Here’s the deal. My winning percentage, second to none in this company. And many would agree, it’s time for Hook to get after another championship. I’ve got my crosshairs set on you, an undeniably bad man I’ve been watching with close eyes from a young age through personal connections. Samoa Joe, I’m coming for you and your world title.” The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil is going right for the top, will he make it there? Or will Joe #SendHook to the bottom of the mountain the hard way?
ROH World Tag Team Championship Proving Ground Match: The Undisputed Kingdom VS Bryan Keith & Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes!
Matt Taven & Mike Bennett regained these titles through the nefarious plot hatched by “The Devil Himself,” Adam Cole. But that doesn’t matter to them, so long as they hold onto these titles. Will they cross the Bounty Hunter and AAA World Cruiserweight Champion off the list? Or will Keith & Komander grab those golden tickets in ten minutes or less?
The Code of Honor is upheld, the teams sort out, and then the Kingdom beats down Komander! Bryan protests but Bennett CHOPS away on Komander in the corner.

Backstage interview with Bullet Club Gold.
Renee Paquette is with Jay White & The Gunns, and says a lot went down on Dynamite with Adam Cole & The Undisputed Kingdom. But the question going around is that moment with The Acclaimed. Jay White says there is no question in regards to that, but then White gets spooked as Daddy Ass & The Acclaimed walking in. Billy says they couldn’t help but overhear as BCG was explaining how the Gunns’ dad had to bail them out of something again. Austin Gunn says if Juice Robinson was out there, that moment wouldn’t have happened. Get over yourselves. White says this thing is none of The Acclaimed’s business anyway, given how The Undisputed Kingdom put their hands on him.
So the BCG will be the ones to handle it and finish it. Oh, okay, well, maybe The Acclaimed could put hands on BCG if they want. Oh, how’d that work last time? Didn’t Gunns win and take those tag titles? Bowens has everyone calm down. First off, don’t act like this isn’t Acclaimed business, because the Kingdom threw Bowens through glass. But… As much as it pains Bowens to say this, and he knows this is a crazy idea considering the beef in the past, but… Bowens has been thinking. One thing he’s learned since being in AEW is that the only way to get to the top is through factions.
White, look what you did with Bullet Club in NJPW. You ran roughshod through that entire place. And now look at a guy like Billy Gunn. Billy knows a thing or two about big factions. All Bowens is saying is, and as crazy as it sounds, think about it. The Five Tool Player leads the way out for the Trios Champions, and BCG mumbles “Think about it? Think about it?” Austin admits, it makes sense. Will we end up seeing a super team out of these six in order to bring down The Undisputed Kingdom?
Adam “Edge” Copeland is here!
The fans fire up as the Rated R Superstar makes his way to the ring, still spotting a black eye from that No Disqualifications TNT Championship match at Worlds End. He gets the mic and says in case anyone missed Worlds End, “Christian Cage and I beat the living hell out of each other. And I beat him for the TNT Championship. But this past Wednesday on Dynamite, I saw Christian Cage out here saying Adam Copeland goes to the back of the line.” Fans boo that, and Edge says Christian forgets that as a former champion, Edge gets an automatic rematch. But that’s okay.
Because for their entire careers, Christian has been saying Edge was handed opportunities, had a rocket strapped to his back. Really, the issue is that when it comes down to Edge and Christian, Edge just works harder. Christian doesn’t like it but he should be on hands and knees, kissing Luchasa- er, Killswitch’s ass. Fans cheer that! Edge continues to say that Christian wants Edge to earn another shot. Then Edge will start doing that right here tonight! Edge will start from the back, because like he said, he works hard! And you see he’s in his gear, ready for a fight, so let’s make this an Open Challenge! The Cope Open or something.
Edge will stand here, wait for someone to step up, so c’mon. Who wants it? Edge waits, and here comes Maria Kanellis? She has Griff Garrison & Cole Karter, aka the Kingdom’s Army, aka her baby boys, with her, and also a mic. Maria smiles as she hands it over to Griff and he says, “I am Griff Garrison. And a lot of you maybe asking who the… is Griff Garrison? Griff Garrison is the guy that steps up to the plate against a Hall of Famer!” Griff gets up on the apron and tells Edge to look at him and show him some respect since he accepted this challenge. Edge tells Griff that he knows Edge likes him. Griff reminds Edge of himself when he was that age.
Edge appreciates Griff coming out here, and Edge knows he was talking about stepping up, but this is stepping up from below sea level to the top of Mount Everest here. Griff laughs that off, to then SLAP Edge!! Well, okay then. The ref slides in and Edge grins. In that case, Griff, this makes Edge like him even more. But now he’ll have to beat Griff’s ass. Ring the bell!
Adam “Edge” Copeland VS Griff Garrison w/ Maria Kanellis & Cole Karter!
The bell rings, and Edge BOOTS Griff down! Griff ends up in a corner, Edge stands him up and CHOPS him! And CHOPS him! And CHOPS him! Edge fires off forearms and CHOPS, stalks Griff to another corner, then reels him in for a HALF HATCH! Griff flounders to ropes, Edge storms up on him, and then Edge CHOPS again! Griff staggers, Edge whips him to ropes, and then back drops him! Griff flounders around, Edge stalks behind him, and then Edge stomps Griff around. Edge drags Griff up to ROCK him in a corner, then whips corner to corner. Griff staggers, Edge scoops, and Edge hits a SNAKE EYES!
Edge keeps moving, and he LARIATS Griff down! Fans fire up and Edge watches Griff go to another corner. The fans rally up, but Maria is lurking! Maria anchors Edge’s foot! Edge glares at her, Griff runs in, but Edge dodges! Griff hits buckles, the ref reprimands Maria, but now Karter trips Edge up! Fans boo as Karter grins, and Griff BOOTS Edge down! Griff rains down fists and forearms on Edge, then lets off. Griff scowls, then CHOKES Edge on the ropes! Griff lets off as the ref counts, then comes back to UPPERCUT! Griff whips Edge corner to corner hard and Edge drops to his knees. Maria cheers but fans rally for Edge.
Griff stands Edge up, reels him in and suplexes high and hard! Cover, ONE!! Edge is hanging in there, but Maria mocks the fans. Griff clamps on a chinlock and he leans on Edge. Edge endures, the fans rally, and Edge fights up. Edge throws body shots, swings a haymaker, but Griff ducks to then atomic FACEBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Edge is still in this but Griff scowls and seethes. Griff storms around, brings Edge up and fireman’s carries, but Edge slips free to the EDGE-O-MATIC! Edge crawls around, the fans rally but Maria gives thumbs down. Edge stands, Griff runs up but Edge dodges to then FLAPJACK!
Fans fire up as Edge whips Griff again. Griff reverses but Edge WRECKS Karter! Edge then HOTSHOTS Griff, hurries up a corner, and he CROSSBODIES! Cover, TWO! Griff shows his own grit and Edge is a bit surprised. Edge aims while Maria shrieks at the fans. Griff rises, Edge aims, and the fans chant for it, SPE- ROLLING ELBOW!! Cover, TWO!! Edge survives and Griff is shocked! The Ivy League MVP was sure he was gonna ace it with that one! Griff hurries up top, but Edge rises to UPPERCUT! Edge fires forearms, climbs up, throws more shots, and fans count all the way to TEN! Then Edge HEADBUTTS over and over, all the way to TEN!
Edge brings Griff to the very top, for a SUPER DUPER PLEX! And roll through, to the IMPALER!! Then, the CROSSFACE! Griff taps, Edge wins!
Winner: Adam “Edge” Copeland, by submission
The Open Challenge goes Edge’s way, but then Karter DROPKICKS Edge down! The Diamond in the Rough uses those Timberlands to his advantage, then he goes up top. 450 SPLASH FLOPS! Edge is back up and he SPEARS Karter down! Maria is furious, but she’s the one who let her boys play with fire. Will Edge burn his way up the ranks to get one more shot at Captain Charisma?
Ric Flair, Sting & Darby speak backstage.
The Nature Boy says that was a great win out there. They looked as good as only they can look. But how about this? Charlotte’s last turn with Sting, and the last stop will be Greensboro, back here in the great state of North Carolina. But before all that, next week, a big week! Jacksonville, where Sting returned to wrestling. His first match in six years, and it was where the Relentless Icons united. This team is unbeatable! Darby counts it, Sting is 26-0! Yes, and next week, make it 27-0! Daily’s Place, sold out to the rafters! Sting & Darby with the Nature Boy! WOO~! Sting fires up and says he’s getting ready! How about a retro promo from The Stinger?
Sting is standing here with the Nature Boy, and Darby Allin, the best tag partner he’s ever had, on their way to Jacksonville, Florida, Daily’s Place! And Sting’s got a “smack talking guy” talking about how they’re gonna take Sting out? Sting tells Callis & Company not to think Sting’s just gonna coast his way to Revolution. No, that ain’t the case! He’s got the Nature Boy, he’s got Darby Allin, and he’s coming to Jacksonville, Florida, where he debuted! And the only thing that’s for sure about Sting is that at Daily’s place, it’s gonna be SHOW TIME!! See you there. Flair says the Icon’s coming back to Florida! WOO~!
Darby can’t help but smile as the two legends go wild. And speaking of wild, the stakes have been raised because that tag match will be under TORNADO RULES! Will it be the Don Callis Family that doesn’t make it to Revolution?
Skye Blue VS Kiera Hogan!
The Chicago Skye has been gloomier and gloomier, all thanks to Julia Hart’s influence. But Skye is still looking to shine with gold of her own, will she put out the Hottest Flame to prove she’s worthy?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. The two circle, tie up, and go around. Skye pulls hair but Kiera turns things around to put Skye in a corner. The ref counts, Kiera lets off and she eggs Skye on. They tie up again, Skye trips Kiera, then she stands over Kiera. But Kiera uses that to sunset flip! TWO, and Kiera headlocks. Skye pulls hair to put Kiera on ropes, but lets off only for a moment. Skye headlocks now, grinds Kiera down, but Kiera endures. Kiera powers up and out, but Skye stomps the dropdown!

Serena Deeb speaks.
“Where’ve I been? Away, training in isolation. Obsessively studying and dissecting every single part of our women’s division. I locked myself in Deeb’s Dojo and faced the imprisonment of my mind, body and soul. But I cannot be caged. You wanna tie me up? I know every escape. You wanna restrain me? I know exactly how to break free. I refuse to accept any shackles placed upon me. They say it takes 10 thousand hours to become a master. You must be willing to do what no one else will do. Excellence is achieved by challenging yourself, and once you realize that everything isn’t happening to you, it’s happening for you, that’s when you become a master.
“Known as The Woman of 1000 Holds, The Human Torture Device, and I kinda like it. Because at my best, it’s magic. All Elite Wrestling, the Professor of Professional Wrestling, Serena Deeb, is ready to return.” When and where will class be back in session?

Starks faces Sammy at Daily’s Place, returning to Jacksonville a champion. Starks knows everybody in Jacksonville’s just waiting for his return. And how fitting, being that Starks made his debut on Dynamite in a TNT Championship match against Cody Rhodes. And while Starks wasn’t successful, he stands here today as one-half of the AEW World Tag Team Champions. This will be the first singles match of Starks VS Sammy under the AEW roof, and how exciting! All the history they have!
But guess what? All that goes out the window next week when Starks goes and destroys Sammy! Starks will manhandle Sammy, cut Sammy’s legs out from under him. Starks only knows how to do one thing, and that is be Absolute. And next week will be no different. Bill points out that it is Saturday Night Collision, neither Sammy or Jericho is here. But the champs hope that they’ll both be here next Saturday because Bill issues an official challenge. Next Saturday, Norfolk, Virginia and Battle of the Belts 9! The AEW World Tag Team Championships, Starks & Bill VS Sammy & Jericho, in a STREET FIGHT!
That is, Sammy, if you even make it past Wednesday. See you next week. A BIG challenge has been issued, will Le Sex Gods be up to it?
High Stakes Tag: FTR VS The House of Black!
Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler are Carolina boys, and they’re ready to fight in front of their family and friends with it all on the line! That’s because if FTR loses, they must DISOWN their families, and join Malakai & Buddy in the House of Black.

The fans boo as hard as they can and the Harwood family can only watch! Wait, who is ringing the bell? Julia Hart!!
The Princess of the Black Throne rings the bell ten times, as if for the untimely passing of FTR. GONZO BOMB for Garcia!! The House of Black stands tall, pretending to be solemnly saddened by what just happened. Will all of AEW see, that regardless of the match results, the House Always Wins?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here, with great set-up for next week. Sting & Darby of course win against the Workhorsemen, but that was a pretty good promo backstage with Flair. And I like that the tag match on Dynamite is being upgraded to Tornado Rules, as a normal tag match wasn’t enough for this. Claudio of course beat Everett, but Everett had a decent showing. Claudio calling out Hangman is an interesting move, but that is going to be an awesome match. Eddie VS Trent was a great first defense for the Continental Crown title, and a great win for Eddie. Here’s hoping Eddie shows up on this week’s ROH to get going on an ROH World Championship story.
Good promo from Hook, and I am rather surprised he wants right after Samoa Joe. I thought there was gonna be one more match with him and Yuta, but in a way, this makes sense. Hook really has been booked as this force of nature, and seeing him be so chill against the intense Joe is going to be some great stuff. Undisputed Kingdom winning the Proving Grounds makes sense, it’s tantamount to a first defense with the ROH World Tag titles, but I do appreciate them pushing the time limit a lot closer than any Proving Grounds match has since AEW acquired ROH.
Really good match from Skye VS Kiera, with a really good win for Skye. Just not sure where this is going for her, other than a match with Julia for the TBS Championship. Great promo from Edge to respond to Christian Cage while also getting a match. Edge of course beat Griff but that was a great match for Griff to reestablish himself on TV. Edge is gonna probably have quite a lot more of these since he is going to earn his way back to the TNT Championship. Then, perhaps by the time we’re at Revolution, Edge and Christian have what will be their fourth match total. And that has to be where Luchasaurus turns on Christian to screw him out of the title.
Really good promo from Acclaimed with Bullet Club Gold, and you can bet that team-up is gonna happen. And really good promo from Bill & Starks to call out Le Sex Gods. Battle of the Belts returning next week, that’s as good a place as any for Jericho to use his title opportunity for the tag titles. And this probably means Bill & Starks retain so that they can get Jericho out of the way and let the allegations sort out. Then Bill & Starks can face any number of other teams. One of those teams is probably gonna be FTR after the big win they got in tonight’s awesome main event. Just as I was hoping, Garcia does help FTR, and that establishes a possible Six Man Tag as well.
My Score: 8.8/10

PLAY BY PLAY
AEW shares footage from after Dynamite.
Darby Allin made the save for Will Ospreay against Claudio Castagnoli, and Ospreay just wanted a second to talk. Ospreay says if Darby didn’t make that save, Ospreay wouldn’t be finishing this tournament. So just a quick one, Ospreay appreciates it and he thanks Darby very much. Darby says he just has this feeling. The same exact feeling that he had when Bryan Danielson got taken out. The same exact feeling he had when Chuck Taylor was taken out. Something is gonna happen again unless they all do something about it, so what is Ospreay willing to do? Darby says they can just find the Death Riders and put an end to this!
Ospreay says easy, now, tiger. But Darby says something is going to happen unless they do something! Ospreay understands, but can’t Darby see Ospreay’s got bigger things going on? He lost at WrestleDream, he lost at Full Gear, that’s back-to-back PPV loses and that does not happen to Ospreay. He has to regain momentum, and that means going through every single person in this tournament, and that includes Darby. Darby says that’s cute. Darby doesn’t care about Ospreay’s personal problems, or anyone else’s, because this is bigger than all of them. This is about AEW. Next year, there might not even be a Continental Classic if they don’t stop this now.
Doesn’t Ospreay see it? The Death Riders will keep chipping away and chipping away at everything that makes AEW what it is. So what is Ospreay doing? What is he doing about it? Ospreay is trying to win this tournament! He needs his momentum back. He can’t just drop everything. Ospreay needs this! So he’ll tell Darby this as a man who respects Darby: Ospreay respects everything Darby’s doing for AEW, but Ospreay needs his momentum. Then maybe afterwards, knock on his door. If Darby needs someone to fight alongside him, Ospreay’s game. See you next week. Ospreay heads out, but will either of them make it to the Holiday Bash?
Here are the current Continental Classic Blue League standings!
Kyle Fletcher: 3-0, 9 points
Kazuchika Okada: 1-1-1, 4 points
Daniel Garcia: 1-1-1, 4 points
Mark Briscoe: 1-2, 3 points
Shelton Benjamin: 1-1, 3 points
The Beast Mortos: 0-2, 0 points
Mark Briscoe speaks.
“Dem Boys in the house tonight, baby! Kyle Fletcher, I’m coming for you! I need this win, mathematically speaking! I’ma show you how we do! I’ma show you that I’m all dog, baby! All dog! ARF ARF RAA!”
Kyle Fletcher speaks.
“Mark Briscoe, I’m sorry, but tonight, you are just another victim for The Protostar. After tonight, it’ll be 12 points Fletch, and I will see you in the semifinals.”
Kazuchika Okada and Beast Mortos speak.
“Beast Mortos.” Mortos ROARS, but Okada says, “No. B*tch Mortos.” The Rainmaker has some strong words for the menacing minotaur, but will Mortos make sure the Continental Champion does NOT make it to Worlds End?
WrestleDynasty International Women’s Cup Qualifier AEW Finals: Jamie Hayter VS Willow Nightingale!
As the New Year approaches, so does that massive weekend in the Tokyo Dome! WrestleDynasty’s International Women’s Cup awaits, but will Hayter Hit Hard enough to punch her ticket to Japan? Or will the Babe with the Power look to add to her international list of accolades?

Willow flops to the floor, but the lights go out!

Willow then climbs up, and the fans fire up as Willow runs, CANNONBALL to the floor! The fans fire up with Willow while Collision goes picture in picture.

Willow RAMS Hayter back into the railing, and then throws Hayter into the ring. Hayter still bails out the side! Willow is annoyed again but she still goes after Hayter.

Winner: Willow Nightingale, by pinfall (advances to WrestleDynasty)
That was a powerful battle from powerful young women, but it is the former AEW TBS Champion, former CMLL Women’s World Champion, and former inaugural NJPW Strong Women’s Champion who is heading to the Tokyo Dome! She will join ROH’s Athena, CMLL’s Persephone, and a Stardom star yet to be determined, who will bring home that International Women’s Cup, and the title match promise that comes with it?
As for Hayter, the lights go out for real this time! And when they come back up, JULIA HART has Hayter in position! HAMMERLOCK DDT!! Julia Hart strikes when the time is right, but will the Princess of the Black Throne make sure Hayter knows The House Always Wins?
Brody King speaks.
“When I think of the Continental Classic, I think of prestige, I think of respect. Cowards take the easy way out. Ricochet, you are a coward.” Brody is referring to Ricochet exposing a top turnbuckle and then using it against Brody. Brody says, “I have no respect for you.”
Claudio Castagnoli speaks.
“Some of my colleagues, they would be angry that they lost. I’m also not losing sight of the bigger picture. They would trade victory for success. They would rather win 100 matches than win the war.”
Strong words from two of the physically strongest men in this tournament, but to Claudio’s point, the war is not over as the round robin continues on. Will either Brody or Claudio make comebacks before we reach Worlds End?
AEW Continental Classic, Blue League: Kazuchika Okada VS The Beast Mortos!
The Continental Champion had quite the message for his opponent tonight, but the menacing minotaur never has words, only roaring and violence! Will Mortos do plenty of that to bring down the champ? Or will the Rainmaker prove he’s still the greatest tournament wrestler today?
The bell rings and we’re on the clock. The fans rally up as Okada and Mortos circle. They tie up, Mortos powers Okada to ropes, but Okada turns things around.

AEW shares more footage from after Dynamite.
Reporters caught up with Mariah May to ask her about the return of Toni Storm, and Mariah said she DGAF! What happened to Toni is the same thing that happened to Mina, and it will be the same thing that happens to Thunder Rosa. Every single woman Mariah steps in the ring with has their hopes and dreams, and then they wish they were never born. Mina should just go back to modeling, because her wrestling career as she knows it is over. Mariah didn’t want to do that to Mina, she still loves Mina. But this is just what Mariah does, and will continue to do to any girl that wants to breathe the same air as her. No one can handle the Woman from Hell.
Rosa can go and yell about whatever bat s*it crazy BS she wants, Rosa just needs to name a time and place for Mariah to end her career! As for every other woman in AEW, or any other company, you all have the same dream. But there is only one reality. The Glamour has spoken, but will it fall on deaf ears?
Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa.
Tony Schiavone is with La Mera Mera and brings up Mariah’s comments. Rosa says time and place? March 16th, 2022, San Antonio, Texas, the time and place Rosa won the AEW Women’s World Championship and knew what she was made of. But it doesn’t matter who you ae when you hold the title! What matters is who you are when you aren’t. And Rosa knows in her heart that she is THE champion, for the people and for all of Women’s Wrestling! And that is something Mariah cannot say! And Mariah is cleaning up a mess with her ex-bestie, Toni Storm, but Rosa has a place reserved for Mariah in Hell!
Speaking of Toni Storm, she walks in and says hello, nice to meet everyone. Oh, sorry, she didn’t mean to interrupt. Hi, she’s Toni Storm, she just wanted to introduce herself. They shake hands and Storm says it is a pleasure to meet Thunder Rosa, as well as the living legend, Tony Schiavone. Okay, sorry, she’ll let you all get back to what you were doing. Rock on! Toni heads out and Rosa lets that… odd interaction go. Rosa tells Mariah that in two weeks, her father will be in the audience to see his daughter fight. And she told him to bring a handful of dirt from the graveyards of Tijuana to remind Rosa where she comes from, and where she’s taking Mariah.
So it will be December 28th, 2024, Worlds End! Rosa VS Mariah for the AEW Women’s World Championship, in a TIJUANA STREET FIGHT!! La Mera Mera has spoken, will she bury Mariah in the gave Mariah has dug for herself?

While there are many things going on right now, from the Continental Classic to the war with the Death Riders, these teams are getting into the NBA spirit by having a 5v5 All Star showdown! Will the TNT Champion, Freshly Squeezed, the Commander of the Skies and the Youngest Men Alive build up some momentum for the holidays? Or will they get dunked on by Mansoor, Mason Madden, Tony Nese, Josh Woods & Ariya Daivari?
Well of course “Smart” Mark has to take over the introductions. And he says that the Premier Athletes have decided to “let the losers of St. Louis,” and of course these “model citizens,” join in on the pregame cheer. So when they say “Athletes,” you say “Rule,” nothing else! Hands in, boys. Oh, and they would be honored for MXM to put the tips in. Mansoor & Maxon put on finger protection before joining in.

Garcia’s pick-up team is feeling it, and so is St. Louis, while Collision goes to break.
Collision returns as Komander tags in, but Nese & Daivari run up to mug him and The Outrunner! They toss out Turbo & Truth, then TOSS Komander to the corner! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!” But then Garcia & Cassidy drag Nese & Daivari out of the ring!

Winners: Daniel Garcia, Orange Cassidy, Komander & The Outrunners, by pinfall
The team celebrates, that was a Freshly Squeezed victory! But while this was a big win and a lot of fun, it is time to focus on Worlds End. Will Garcia make his way out of the league to head for the Continental Championship? Will Cassidy overcome the Fatal 4 Way odds to finally be THE AEW World Champion?
Don Callis speaks.
“I had a bad night last night. A couple of turncoats who used to be under my employ, ‘Powerhouse’ Hobbs and Mark Davis, did a little switcharoo, a little number on the Don Callis Family. I woke up today with a hole in my heart because of that, but then I got fantastic news. The gods have smiled upon me because I am getting, in two week’s time, at Worlds End, I am getting my revenge on Powerhouse Hobbs. That’s right, a match against the Alpha, Konosuke Takeshita, has been granted. And it’s in two weeks at Worlds End, and I can’t wait.
‘If you thought everything was coming up the Don Callis Family, I’ve got one more thing to be excited about! Kyle Fletcher is getting ready right now to be in the main event tonight! And run the table and mathematically ensure that he goes on to Worlds End and then wins the Continental Championship, when he beats that degenerate, Mark Briscoe tonight on Collision. That is why the Don Callis Family is the true one percenters of professional wrestling. And you’re gonna see it tonight, and you’re gonna see it at Worlds End. And Hobbs, I’m gonna send you right back to the unemployment line.” Callis has made his promises, but will Konosuke and Kyle be able to keep them?
AEW Continental Classic, Blue League: Kyle Fletcher VS Mark Briscoe!

The Death Riders have hijacked a camera!
Jon Moxley checks if they’re rolling, and Wheeler Yuta says yeah, it’s rolling. He knows how to work that thing? Yeah. Moxley says FTR are about to get lost on their way home tonight. Oh, here they come. The Death Riders watch as Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood walk through the backstage area. Then Marina Shafir stands in their way. Claudio & Pac snatch FTR with blindfold bags! FTR fights but Moxley helps outnumber the #TopGuys, and they drag FTR out to the parking lot. Yuta keeps the camera on him as he smiles and laughs at the carnage happening just on the other side of the wall. Will the Death Riders personally see to it that there is NO ONE to stand against them?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here to wrap Winter is Coming Week, and I do appreciate they’re trying to get more and more people into the Death Rider story, as they should. To that end, good promo from Darby and Ospreay to try and get Ospreay to consider his part in all this. I get Ospreay’s side, he just wants to wrestle, win, and become champion again, but considering Claudio is in Gold League with him, he could end up a target, compelling Ospreay to join the fight. And quite the closing moment, with Death Riders going after FTR because they saved Cassidy from their attack. It’ll be quite the AEW Justice League moment when names like Cassidy, FTR, Ospreay and a few others stand against The Death Riders. And I say Justice League because DC Comics is Warner Brothers Discovery, too.
Speaking of the Continental Classic, awesome matches tonight for Blue League. Mortos was of course losing to Okada but he looked great against the champ. Good promo from Callis to hype up both the International Championship match of Konosuke VS Hobbs and tonight’s main event, and what an awesome win for Mark Briscoe. Kyle is leading at 9, but Okada is second at 7 and Mark is third at 6, and things could really get wild in the last round of Blue League competition. I feel like it should still come down to Okada and Kyle because Okada is the champ and should have a chance at defending his belt, and Kyle could potentially face Ospreay again.
Great 10 Man Tag from Garcia, Komander, Cassidy & Outrunners VS Premier Athletes & MXM, but it was clearly all for the fun so that the fans could stay energized during these long tapings. Good squash match win for Kris Statlander, but I feel like Lynn didn’t sell being held up for a 20+ stalling suplex much at all. Equally good squash match win for Toni Storm, and I absolutely LOVE that Toni Storm is pretending this is her first time in AEW. She got reset to her old persona so apparently that came with a memory reset, that is brilliant. Very good promo Mariah, and a very good promo from Rosa, including Toni’s part. A Tijuana Street Fight for the title, and it keeps both women strong no matter who wins.
Great tag match of Top Flight VS Lio & Action, but also a great use of Leila as a distraction in the wrong way. I almost thought she was going to turn and join Lio & Action, but Leila’s done fairly well as a Face now so I feel like she’ll stay a Face. She could easily just give a promo about how Lio & Action didn’t care about her and that’s why she sticks with Dante & Darius. Private Party VS Lio & Action is going to be a great, but I would think Quen & Kassidy win out. And then great International Women’s Cup Qualifier from Willow VS Hayter. Willow was the natural choice given her accolades.
And while it’s great for Julia to return in person, AEW sure fumbled it. The lights went out during the match, aka way too early, and then I don’t think she did a good job choosing elbow gloves. Those things were falling down the whole time, it looked more like she had a big scrunchy wristband. But hey, Hayter VS Hart in a House Rules match for Worlds End would be great for them both, and it’d be quite the way for Hart to get a return win.
My Score: 8.9/10

This is not a self promotion. Ahem. Four fanny packs, three Brawler Buddies, two Acclaimed scissor hands… And anything~ else that involves MEEE~, Harley Cameron!” A creative ad read, but will Harley be ready to “welcome back” Toni Storm later tonight?
Toni Storm VS Harley Cameron!
For the first time in FOUR MONTHS, the former AEW Women’s World Champion is back in AEW, and she’s back as her original form. Will Toni still be victorious even though she’s no longer Timeless? Or will Harley prove she’s Gold Coast, Australia’s best wrestler now?

BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
Toni Storm’s comeback tour is only heating up as she’ll be in action once again, against Shazza McKenzie! So from one Aussie to another, is Toni going to keep this momentum going? Plus, Kris Statlander will be back in action, will she rebound from her loss at Full Gear? And on top of that, AEW takes a cue from the NBA on TNT, it’s a BIG All Star 10 Man Tag! Daniel Garcia joins forces with Orange Cassidy, The Outrunners & Komander to take on The Premier Athletes & MXM Collection, will the TNT Champion lead his team to a win in this pick-up game?
Brody King speaks.
“When I think of the Continental Classic, I think of prestige, I think of respect and honor. I started the C2 strong, but now I’m down 6 points. Komander, you better bring the fight of your life, because I am.” It is a match of men on the bubble, who will survive one more round in the Gold League? We find out next Friday for Rampage: Holiday Bash!
Deonna Purrazzo VS Shazza McKenzie!
The Virtuosa wants everyone in AEW to understand something: When dealing with The Vendetta, stay on their good side. Will Deonna make sure Shazza understands that explicitly? Or will Shazza get on Deonna’s bad side without even trying?
The bell rings and Deonna circles with Shazza. They tie up, Deonna powers Shazza to the corner, then stomps away! The ref counts, Deonna stops at 4, and she CHOSP! Shazza sputters but Deonna reels her in. But Shazza gets around to roll Deonna up! TWO, and Shazza blocks a boot! Shazza knees, whips, but Deonna turns Shazza’s lariat into a wrench and short arm LARIAT! The fans rally up while Shazza goes to a corner. Deonna runs corner to corner, but Shazza slips out to the apron! Shazza ROCKS Deonna, goes up and up, but Deonna trips her! Deonna has Shazza in the Tree of Woe and stomps her down!
The fans are torn as Deonna goes corner to corner, and she RAMS into Shazza! Shazza flops out of the Tree, and into Deonna’s POWERBOMB! Then FUJIWARA ARMBAR! Shazza TAPS, Deonna wins!
Winner: Deonna Purrazzo, by submission
Deonna doesn’t let go! She makes Shazza pay for lasting even this long! Deonna then lets go to revel in her victory. Will anyone stop The Vendetta from rising up the ranks?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Alex Marvez welcomes #BornAgainKristen and says it is great to see her back again, for the first time since Full Gear. That match with Mercedes Mone was perhaps one of the best matches in the history of the AEW Women’s Division, but seeing as she lost, where does Kris go from here? Kris says she has not stopped thinking about that match. Actually, it feels like Mone hasn’t, either. It seems like Mone won’t stop talking about it. And to give Mone credit, Mone is everything she says she is. Kris came out of that match pretty beat up, so her next step forward is just to keep moving forward.
Kris always moves forward, and that is why she is going to compete tomorrow night on Collision. She’d wrestle again the next night, and the next night, and the next night if she could. She’ll be at Holiday Bash this Wednesday to watch the TBS Championship match, Mone VS Anna Jay. Whoever comes out on top, they should know that Kris has unfinished business with that title. Kris heads out, will she find a way to be the Face of TBS once again?
PROGRAMMING NOTE for Christmas Collision!
Firstly, don’t be fooled, Collision is still on Saturday, December 21st. BUT it will be live coast to coast, 8 PM Eastern, 5 PM Pacific, immediately following TNT’s coverage of the NCAA College Football Playoffs. Make sure your DVRs are set accordingly so your Collision can be merry and bright!
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He welcomes us back to Rampage, and he welcomes out ahead of tonight’s main event some of the greatest athletes in the world today, the Don Callis Family! Fans boo as creepy Callus leads the way out for his Alpha, his Murderhawk Monster, and his Protostar. Konosuke Takeshita, Lance Archer & Kyle Fletcher stand with Don Callis and Schiavone in the ring, and Schiavone speaks to Callis that going just off the reaction from the fans, we all know what they think of Callis and his “family.” Callis grabs the mic to say, “I have something important to say. I know you’re very shocked by how we conduct our business, but what business do you think you’re, Schiavone?
“Because I’m in the getting-over-and-making-money business! So is Kyle! So is Takeshita! So is Archer! You don’t believe me? The Murder Machines is the most feared tag team in the history of this company! Takeshita is the best bell-to-bell International champion we’ve ever had. And that brings me to the Protostar, Kyle Fletcher.” The fans boo more but Callis will remind us that “there was a guy running around here who everyone thought was the greatest wrestler they’d ever seen! And his name was Will Ospreay! That was until Will Ospreay got in the ring with Kyle Fletcher! And Kyle Fletcher, Will, he didn’t just beat you. He dominated you!”
The fans boo more as Callis says Kyle put Ospreay down! Ospreay will never be the same. So as he sits home, watching the Callis Family bask in their glory, here’s a question for Ospreay: How does it feel, bruv? The fans boo more, but Callis says, “Wait, it gets better! Just a few short days later, he (Kyle) did the impossible! He got in the ring with a man who has been called, correctly I might add, ‘The greatest tournament wrestler ever,’ Kazuchika Okada. And he BEAT Okada! So Okada, as you sit home and watch us, I’ve got a question for you! How does it feel, b*tch? Tell ’em, Kyle!”
Callis hands the mic over and the fans boo more. Kyle takes off his sunglasses, but he waits as the fans keep booing. “Kansas City, you can boo me as much as you want. You can cheer for that BUM, Ospreay! But it changes absolutely nothing. I am 25-years-old, I have a watch on my wrist that costs more than the car you drive, and I will be the winner of the Continental Classic. So tomorrow night on Collision, Mark Briscoe, I hope you bring more than your Redneck Kung-Fu. Because winning this tournament is my destiny! And nobody gets in the way of me and my destiny.” The fans boo more but Callis gets the mic back.
Callis says one thing is very obvious to him: The Don Callis Family are the ONE PERCENTERS of AEW! And because they’re the One Percent, Callis can say this: there is no one in the back big enough and bad enough to get in the ring with them. But guess what? Here comes “P-P-P-POWERHOUSE!” The fans fire up as Will Hobbs makes his way out, and he’s bringing Dunkzilla with him! Will the Don Callis Family regret ever leaving Hobbs behind?
“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs & Mark Davis VS Konosuke Takeshita & Lance Archer!
The teams sort out and Hobbs starts against Konosuke. Archer calls to Konosuke, and Konosuke tags him in. The fans rally for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” as Archer steps to Hobbs. But Hobbs walks right past Archer to taunt Konosuke. “Is that it? Is that really it?” Konosuke backs off to take a stroll outside. Archer tells Hobbs to pay attention to him, he’s the one in the ring. The fans boo but Archer throws a forearm! Hobbs fires back! The fans fire up as “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” goes back and forth! Hobbs gets the edge but archer knees low! Archer tells fans to shut up! Archer whips, Hobbs reverses, and the two RAM shoulders!
Archer staggers to a corner and Hobbs storms up on him! Hobbs rains down fists from above, and we get “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” all the way to nine, because Konosuke sneaks up! Hobbs runs Konosuke off, then he tags Davis. Davis climbs up on Archer, and he rains down fists! “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” all the way to TEN! Davis storms around, he and Hobbs go after Archer together to double whip him corner to corner. Davis runs in and LARIATS! Hobbs runs up to LARIAT! The fans cheer as they double whip back the other way. Archer goes up, but Davis stays back. Davis waistlocks Archer but Archer ROCKS Hobbs first!
Archer ELBOWS Davis, roars and runs, but he gets DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLES! The fans fire up for the big meaty men, and Davis drags Archer up. Hobbs comes back in, and they DOUBLE SUPLEX Archer, and even hold him, before the SLAM! Cover, ONE!! Archer shows that grit but Davis pumps up his arm! The fans fire up with Davis as he runs, but Konosuke gets a cheap shot in! Archer then CROSSBODIES Davis! Archer rains down fast hands, then shouts, “This is MY house!” The fans boo but Archer tags Konosuke, and Rampage goes picture in picture.
Archer taunts the fans while Konosuke goes corner to corner. Forearm SMASH on Davis and Konosuke snapmares him down. Konosuke goes up, soaks up the heat, and then SUPER SENTONS! Cover, TWO! Davis toughs it out but Konosuke rains down fists! Konosuke CHOKES Davis, stops as the ref counts, and he tags Archer back in. Archer taunts Hobbs while staying between him and Davis. Archer stands Davis up to short arm ALARAIT! Davis stays up so Archer short arm LARIATS again! Davis falls but Archer brings him up for another short arm LARIAT! Archer stands on Davis’s neck!
The ref reprimands, Archer steps off to drag Davis up, and Archer TOSSES Davis out. Archer keeps the ref distracted so Konosuke can whip Davis into railing! Davis almost falls into the front row! Konosuke drags Davis back and DECKS him! Archer goes out to laugh at the fans while standing on Davis! The ref reprimands, Archer still taunts fans as he steps off, and he drags Davis up. Davis fires forearms! The ring count is climbing but Davis roars, only for Konosuke to CLAW Davis’s face! Archer & Konosuke mug Davis, the ref reprimands them both, but Archer puts Davis in the ring. Archer then KICKS Davis in the side!
Archer drags Davis up to bump him off buckles! Tag to Konosuke, Archer smothers Davis while Konosuke fires body shots. The ref reprimands but Konosuke climbs up. Konosuke throws down fists, but then he BITES Davis on the forehead! Konosuke steps away while the ref reprimands, and Archer almost grabs Davis if not for the ref being wary of him. Archer tags in and he stands Davis up. Archer taunts the fans, then CHOPS Davis! Archer stands Davis up again, to CHOP! Archer stands Davis up a third time, but Davis avoids the chop! Davis CHOPS Archer, but Archer knees low! Archer bumps Davis off buckles, then smothers him!
The ref reprimands, Archer stops, and Rampage returns to single picture. Archer again taunts Hobbs while staying between him and Davis. Archer wrenches Davis, whips him to the corner, but Davis BOOTS Archer away! Davis also ROCKS Konosuke and heads for his corner! The fans are thunderous, but Archer runs at Davis! Davis dodges and Archer hits buckles in the open corner! Davis crawls his way over, but Archer goes to BLAST Hobbs! Archer stomps Davis down while fans boo, but Archer soaks up the heat. Archer grins and looks at the tron, “That’s me!” Tag to Konosuke and Konosuke brings Davis up.
Davis fights the suplex, tries to suplex, but Konosuke also fights! Konosuke powers up to lift Davis up and over! The fans are torn, that was legit impressive. Konosuke runs up but Davis rolls him up! TWO, and Davis DECKS Konosuke! The fans fire up as Davis wobbles and staggers! He spots Hobbs, and leaps for the HOT TAG! Hobbs CLOBBERS Konosuke, LARIATS Konosuke, then runs in and SPLASHES at the corner! The fans are thunderous as Hobbs goes again, but Konosuke BOOTS him! Konosuke runs, avoids the spinebuster, but Hobbs elbows him away. Konosuke BOOTS the lariat away, then ROCKS Hobbs!
Konosuke runs, but Hobbs LARIATS Konosuke inside-out! Only for Konosuke to rise back up! POWER DRIVE KNEE!! Both men fall and the fans are thunderous! Konosuke and Hobbs crawl, hot tags to Archer and Davis! They DOUBLE LARIAT, and DOUBLE LARIAT, and DOUBLE LARIAT again! “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” They even switch arms to DOUBLE LARIAT! Davis roars, but Archer grabs him the throat! Davis breaks free to ENZIGIRI! Archer flops to a corner and the fans fire up with Davis! Davis runs, blocks a boot, but Archer STOMPS Davis down! Archer grins, drags Davis up and puts him on the top rope.
Archer climbs but Davis fires hands! Konosuke joins in to CLAW Davis’s face! The ref reprimands but Konosuke climbs up, and now the Callis Family has Davis on the top rope! Hobbs joins in underneath! TOWER OF MEAT- er, DOOM!! The fans are thunderous as Hobbs goes back to his corner. Davis crawls, hot tag back to Hobbs! Hobbs waits on Archer, and he brings down the straps. But Konosuke sneaks in! ALPHA ELBOW! BOOT from Archer! Choke grip, CHOKE SLAM!! Cover, TWO!! Hobbs survives and Archer is furious! Konosuke waits on Hobbs and the kneepad comes down. But Davis anchors Konosuke!
Davis drags Konosuke out, sends him into railing, but then Archer DECKS Davis! Hobbs whips Archer to SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans are thunderous again as Hobbs says thumbs up, thumbs DOWN! SPINEBUSTER!! Cover, HOBBS & DAVIS WIN!
Winners: Will Hobbs & Mark Davis, by pinfall
Big meaty men went to big meaty war, but Konosuke wants more! He even has the belt! Hobbs blocks the shot, and he SPINEBUSTERS Konosuke! The fans are thunderous again as Hobbs eyes that International Championship. Hobbs holds the belt up, will this be the scene we see in the not too distant future?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here, great builds in a lot of stuff, and while there was word that those inside AEW thought this was a waste of Toni Storm’s in-ring return, the match we got was really good. Harley had a good little song to advertise the AEW holiday sale, and had a great showing against Toni, but of course Toni wins tonight. She’ll definitely win tomorrow night, too, but I like that she’s facing another Australian wrestler. This is almost like early hype for Grand Slam: Australia in February. Deonna beat Shazza tonight, decent stuff, but the sooner they get going on The Vendetta targeting Anna Jay the better so that The Vendetta actually has a story.
Actually, I think I said it before but the Vendetta story could be them joining Mercedes Mone, revealing themselves as the ones who attacked Kamille. Then those three take on Kamille, Anna Jay, and Kris Statlander in a Six Woman Tag. Speaking of, good promo from Kris Statlander, and her wanting after the TBS title again is a natural move. She’s gotta bide time while the AEW Women’s World Championship story unfolds, and she’s not downgrading to ROH, she is not that far out of the running. That Six Woman Tag could even lead to a Six Pack Challenge for the title, making it much easier to get that title off Mone.
Very good match from Cardona VS Keith to open the night, but of course Cardona wins. This combined with last night’s ROH contract signing segment, Cardona has all the momentum going into Final Battle next week, so he is sadly not winning the title. Jericho still has to complete his goal of getting ROH a cable TV deal, and there is even word that there is interest, perhaps even from Warner Brother Discovery to put ROH on the other Turner network, TruTV, so who knows. Maybe Jericho retains long enough for that deal to be finalized, and then he loses on the first episode of ROH back on cable.
Good promo from Brody King, and I would think he defeats Komander to rebound from his lose to Claudio. Sorry, Komander, but you might be eating the goose egg. Very good promo from Callis and Fletcher to call out Ospreay and Okada and even Mark Briscoe. I feel like that foreshadows Ospreay and Okada making it to Worlds End as semifinalists with Fletcher. And a great main event tag match as Hobbs & Davis made a surprisingly good duo. Great win for Hobbs & Davis, too, and it establishes Hobbs VS Konosuke for the International Championship. Now, Hobbs’ chances of winning that title depend on what AEW and NJPW agree on for WrestleDynasty and Konosuke VS Shingo Takagi, but I wouldn’t mind seeing Hobbs win.
My Score: 8.8/10
