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. Will the Dark Father & Aussie Juggernaut tear down the FTR family tree with their own hands? Or will the Top Guys prove you really can go home again?
The teams sort out and the fans are all fired up for FTR as Dax starts against Buddy. Dax and Buddy stare down, but Buddy smirks as he points to the Harwood family. Dax scowls and storms up on Buddy.

Malakai says to end this, so the chair is put up against Dax’s face. BLACK MASS through the chair!! Then Brody SMACKS Garcia right down!! 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

Jon Moxley survived another title defense thanks to Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta & Pac, but now they must defend their own titles.

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!

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.

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

He has the mic to tell Omaha, “You are looking live at the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans boo that claim given Caster is 0-5 at his own challenge. But Caster still says everyone knows that Caster is a very busy man.

The fans boo more, but Caster says surely there are a lot of Maximaniacs here today, so time to give them what they want, and that is to chant his name!
Okay, here goes! “Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive! Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans boo that stupid chant, so Caster says it’s four on the floor. But anyway, let’s get to business! Who can survive the Best Wrestler Alive? The man to answer is… HOOK! Will the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil make sure Caster finally learns his lesson?
The bell rings and the fans sing, “Hook is gonna kill~ you!” Caster says before they start, he knows Hook has a lot to say, so he should get it off his chest. Then Caster throws the mic at Hook! Caster attacks in that distraction, then CLUBS away on Hook! The fans boo, Caster whips but Hook reverses! Caster goes up and over, keeps moving, then ducks ‘n’ dodges.

Backstage interview with Queen Aminata.
Lexy Nair is with the One True African Queen, and notes that we are moments away from the tiebreaker with Julia Hart. They are 1-1, but Aminata won the previous match, so how does that momentum have her feeling? Aminata says she is- interrupted by Serena Deeb. Deeb says that was a fantastic win against Julia. What has she been telling Aminata? Listen to Deeb and you win! And tonight, it’s the rematch, and lucky for Aminata, Deeb came prepared. She has another playbook. This is 1000 holds, something Deeb has worked on for 20 years. It is everything Aminata needs to know to beat Julia, or anyone for that matter.
Deeb says it is all in this book. She hasn’t lied to Aminata yet, has she? Aminata tells The Professor thanks, but no thanks. Aminata is confident she can win this third match on her own. Aminata heads out and Deeb says well, we’ll see about that. What is Deeb about to do to test Aminata? Or will having one more match with the Princess of the Black Throne more than enough?

Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Lexy is with the wild Aussie and brings up that tomorrow night, Slam Dunk Sunday, we see Harley get back in action! Plus, Komander & Hologram will take on Dralistico & Beast Mortos. Mortos has had some rather intriguing interactions with “Harley-gram.” Harley says, “Oh, Lexy, Lexy, Lexy. Lucha Libre is a fascinating and amazing world. And I’m sure tomorrow’s match will be fantastic. And y’know what? Tomorrow night, yes, I do have a match, but! I will also stick around and be on commentary for that match. So I don’t really see the point of us discussing the romantic capabilities of a beast, y’know?”
Lexy says yeah, but uh, isn’t “Harley-gram” just Harley? NO, FEEL THE WRATH! Harley runs off, but will Harley be able to focus on her match with Mortos around? Will Mortos be able to focus on his match with Harley around?
Six Man Tag: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, Mark Briscoe & Rocky Romero VS The Don Callis Family!
While the Book of Hobbs is stuck on a chapter involving the Don Callis Family, he has decided to conglomerate with the Sussex County Chicken & Azucar! Will Briscoe & Rocky help Hobbs get through the “writer’s block?” Or will Konosuke Takeshita, Brian Cage & Lance Archer make sure #EverybodyDies?
The trios sort out and Briscoe starts against Konosuke. Don Callis is on commentary and Schiavone is sure he is not in a good mood over his guy, Mark Davis, missing out on the International Championship. Callis focuses instead on the Six Man Tag, and his “three physical freaks” of the Callis Family. Briscoe and Konosuke tie up, Briscoe headlocks, and Omaha rallies for #DemBoys. Konosuke powers up and out, Briscoe RAMS him, but Konosuke comes back to run Briscoe over! Things keep moving, Konosuke bypasses Briscoe but Briscoe slides under. Briscoe springs up to hit the crane stance! Callis says that is disrespectful!
Konosuke blocks the crane kick, spins Briscoe around, and back suplexes, only for Briscoe to land out. Konosuke kicks low, whips Briscoe to a corner, but Briscoe goes up and out. Briscoe eggs Konosuke on, then counters the punch with a REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUT! Briscoe climbs, aims, and leaps, but Konosuke BODY BLOWS the ax handle down! The fans boo but Konosuke stands Briscoe up. Konosuke whips Briscoe to the Callis corner, but Briscoe BOOTS Archer down! The fans fire up but Cage grabs Briscoe. Konosuke runs up, but Briscoe slips free, so Konosuke DECKS Cage! The fans fire up and Briscoe kicks low.
Briscoe whips, Konosuke reverses, Hobbs sneaks the tag. Briscoe DIVES onto Cage! Archer BOOTS Briscoe, but Rocky FLYING KNEES Archer! Hobbs runs in to CLOBBER Konosuke! And CLOBBERS him again! The fans fire up and Hobbs smirks. Hobbs stands Konosuke up to scoop him, and then he tags in Rocky. Rocky climbs, Hobbs POWERSLAMS Konosuke down for Rocky to DIVING DOUBLE STOMP! Konosuke sputters while Rocky gives some Azucar Heat. Rocky runs to DIVE, but Cage catches him! And hands him off to Konosuke! APRON POWERBOMB! Cage CLOBBERS Briscoe, Archer whips Hobbs into railing!
The fans boo, the Callis Family soaks up that heat, and Collision goes picture in picture.
The ring count starts, Archer talks smack tot he camera that we can’t hear, but Konosuke puts Rocky in the ring. Cover, TWO! Rocky survives but Konosuke drags him up. Konosuke bumps Rocky off buckles, tags Cage, and they stomp away. The ref counts, Konosuke stops but Cage digs his boots in. The ref counts more, Cage stops at 4, then Cage stands Rocky up. Cage CHOPS Rocky, tags Archer, and Archer drags Rocky up. Archer bumps Rocky off buckles, then fires forearm after forearm! Archer runs corner to corner and back again to ELBOW Rocky! Archer takes a page out of Rocky’s book, TWO-EVER ELBOW!
Archer keeps it going, THREE-EVER! Archer lets Rocky flop down, nothing lasts forever. Tag to Konosuke, and he stands between Rocky and his corner. Konosuke DECKS Rocky, then stalks him to ropes. Konosuke CHOKES Rocky, the ref counts, and Konosuke lets go of the ropes. The ref says that’s not the problem, he has to step off of Rocky! Konosuke does step off, then he brings Rocky up to whip to ropes. Konosuke ELBOWS Rocky down, covers, TWO! Rocky stays in this but Konosuke tags Cage. They mug Rocky, then Cage brings Rocky around to scoop and SLAM! Cage runs to drop a leg, brother! Cover, TWO!
Cage hauls Rocky up to TOSS him out! Cage taunts Briscoe, but this lets Archer and Callis to get their shots in! Callis grins, Briscoe & Hobbs protest, but nothing can be done now. Callis high-fives Archer and Cage puts Rocky back in. Cage tags Archer, Archer storms up on Rocky, and Archer puts him in a corner. Archer runs corner to corner, but Rocky dodges! Archer hits buckles, staggers around, and he tags to Konosuke. Konosuke drops an ELBOW on Rocky! Konosuke looms over Rocky, CLUBS him, and then brings him around. Konosuke whips Rocky hard into buckles and Rocky falls to the mat. Konosuke looms as Slam Dunk Saturday returns to single picture.
Konosuke taunts Rocky, the fans rally up, and Konosuke slaps Rocky around. Rocky rises to fire a forearm! Konosuke just shakes his head. Rocky fires another forearm, and another, but Konosuke SMACKS Rocky! Rocky roars and fires a flurry! The fans fire up but Konosuke fires boxing elbows! Then a ROLLING- UPPERCUT from Rocky! The fans fire up as both men wobble! Rocky dodges a lariat, goes up the ropes, FLYING TORNADO DDT! Both men are down and the fans fire up again! Rocky and Konosuke crawl as Callis admits, that was a great sequence. Hot tag to Briscoe! The fans fire up as Briscoe rallies with forearms and CHOPS!

Then LARIAT for Cage! Then back for Archer! Back to Cage! The straps come down and Omaha is really hot! But Konosuke winds up! Hobbs dodges the elbow to SPINEBUSTER! But Cage runs up, DOUBLE LARIATS hit!
The DOUBLE LARIATS continue to collide but neither man falls! “MEAT!” echoes out with every shot! Cage BOOTS the lariat away, mule kicks then KICKS! But Hobbs swings! Cage gest around to GERMAN SUPLEX! Rocky tags in and goes up, CROSSBODY, but Cage catches him! Cage pops Rocky up, Rocky slips free and ENZIGIRIS! Cage staggers, into a SPINEBUSTER! Konosuke DECKS Rocky! And he KICKS Hobbs to then ROCK Hobbs! And then BLUE THUNDER BOMB!! Briscoe and Konosuke fire forearms back and forth, then Briscoe fires a flurry! Briscoe runs, into a BOOT! Konosuke runs, into an EXPLODER!
Archer runs in, Briscoe dodges the boot, but Archer breaks the clothesline to CLOBBER Briscoe! Rocky runs in, tilt-o-whirls, but into the BLACK- NO!! Rocky slips free to have the SLEEPER! Archer THROWS Rocky down! And then runs in, only for Rocky to dodge! Rocky dropkicks the legs out, then kicks. Archer blocks, ducks the enzigiri, but not the REWIND HEEL! Roll up, TWO! Archer is up, Rocky dodges to springboard, but into a HAYMAKER! Archer hauls Rocky up, Cage is there, MURDER BOMB!! DISCUS LARIAT for Briscoe! Tag to Konosuke, he hauls Rocky up, RAGING FIRE!! Cover, Don Callis Family wins!
Winners: The Don Callis family, by pinfall
Omaha was served up some meat and chicken with sugar on top, but the Don Callis Family ate it all! Will this win help Konosuke head back for a title opportunity in time for Dynasty? Will Hobbs at least be allowed to move on from the Don Callis Family?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here for just the first half of the Slam Dunk Weekend, as recorded Wednesday night after Dynamite. I kinda like Collision being just one hour, but obviously they’ll go back to two hours on one night next week. Opening with the TNT Championship was quite the surprise, but that did help it go the full 20 minutes, which was a particularly clever move here. Garcia keeps the title but Cole was very close, so maybe we get a third match where they extend or completely do away with the time limit to get a definitive winner. And at that point, I would think Adam Cole wins to finally have a singles title in AEW.
Good stuff in Caster again losing his own Open Challenge. Good win for Hook as it’s been a minute since he’s had a singles match. With Caster harping on Bowens being absent, this really needs to culminate with Bowens answering the challenge, winning that first time, but then Caster wanting a rematch. Then that match will be awesome stuff, but still ultimately won by Bowens to get it in Caster’s head that he can’t just say he’s the Best Wrestler Alive and put it on a piece of paper. Then we can see Caster take his character in another direction, maybe do some soul searching. Or more likely, just double down and be even more insufferable.
Very good match for Hart VS Aminata 3, hard to say if it was that much better than the previous, but Hart winning makes sense with Aminata VS Deeb still needing to happen. A shame the Aminata-Deeb feud had to build in the background of the Aminata-Hart feud, but it’s not like they could do more on a week to week basis. Unless… Well, snark aside, Aminata will surely take Deeb up on at least that Pure Rules match for a first-time-ever in the Women’s Division, and I would love for a Women’s Pure Championship to be created in time for Supercard of Honor. It actually works out that Supercard had to be pushed back to avoid clashing with WrestleMania, because the pacing of the Women’s Division definitely can/will go all the way to May.
Very good promo from Harley to not just hype up Slam Dunk Sunday, but to also poke fun at how she is so obviously Harley-gram, and that there is some, uh, animal magnetism between her and Mortos. And Schiavone said that Komander & Hologram VS Mortos & Dralistico will be the main event, so you can bet there will be shenanigans involving Mortos and Harley/Harley-gram.
My Score: 8.8/10
