Samoa Joe is here!
Savannah, Georgia fires up as the AEW World Champion makes his way to the ring, fresh off his win over Hook in a spectacular showdown. He gets the mic to say, “Hello, Savannah. My name is Samoa Joe, and I stand here before you your undisputed, undeniable AEW World Champion. And tonight is a night of celebration, because you see, a new championship endeavor we embark upon today. No more will opportunities be given. No, tonight, they must be earned. That’s why all your favorite AEW superstars are gonna come out here this ring, they’re gonna battle tooth and nail, all for an opporutnity at my championship gold.”
The fans cheer, and Joe says while he can appreciate ambition, he comes with warning. They think they’re winning an opportunity at a title, but it’s really an opportunity to have the worst night of their lives. Anyone that steps to Joe will come into this ring, and he’ll do them like he did Hook! He’ll beat them down unmerciful, strangle them unconscious, and take everything- WAIT! Here comes Hook! The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil doesn’t like being called out after putting up his best, and he gets in the ring with mic in hand. The fans duel but Hook tells Joe, “Last week, you won, I lost.” Then he shakes hands with Joe.
But then Hook pulls Joe in to say that he doesn’t know where, and he doesn’t know when, but he will see Joe again. Fans like the sound of that, but Joe says he bets they will. Now, if Hook will excuse Joe, Joe is here to survey the field, so it is back of the line for Hook. Security, please escort this unworthy opponent out of Joe’s ring. Fans boo as Joe steps away and security steps in. Hook SAYANAGIS one, EXPLODERS another, and then has the third in REDRUM!! Bigger guards get in, Hook lets off and leaves. As close as Hook came to getting Joe the first time around, will he make good on his promise to go again?
As for Joe, he joins commentary to not just watch the first match of the night, but to also complain about Hook pulling that stunt. “Who raised that animal in there?” Taz chuckles and says Joe found out last week. For now, will Joe be able to keep his cool as we get ready for some #CowboyShid?

Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.
Renee Paquette says it is always a pleasure to see Freshly Squeezed, and she wants to pick his brain a bit. We have not heard from Cassidy since Roderick Strong made his bold declaration of facing Cassidy for the AEW International Championship at Revolution. What’s his reaction? Uh, okay. He will wrestle Roddy for the title at Revolution. On March 3rd, which is like… six weeks away? Cassidy wanted to wrestle Roddy last week, but Roddy wanted to wait, and that’s fine. But Cassidy isn’t gonna wait, he’ll keep doing what he’s doing, and that’s wrestling.
Cassidy says he asked Tony Khan to get his friends, his enemies, and his frenemies together in a match on Rampage. The winner of that will wrestle Cassidy on Collision for the title. So uh, guess Tony’s gonna do it. Well, okay, thank you so much. Thank you, Renee. Gotta go now, Trent’s gonna wrestle Wardlow. You see that Wardlow guy? He’s big. Cassidy heads out, but who will be heading for a big title opportunity this weekend?
The Young Bucks arrive backstage.
Matt & Nick Jackson are given tonight’s show schedule, and Nick says about time. Matt says, “Banger alert!” as he points to a match. He can’t wait to see that one. Nick agrees, looks like a good show tonight. Alex Marvez walks over and asks for a quick word. Their interview last week with Renee really got a ton of buzz. So his question for them is, what is their first plan of action now as EVPs? First plan of action? Well, how about Alex’s plan to be a bit more respectful to them. Call them by their passport names, Nicholas & Matthew Jackson.
Matthew says, “As the last two remaining, surviving EVPs, you’re right, there’s chatter, there’s buzz!” But in case you hadn’t heard, backstage morale is through the roof! They fixed the catering problem. Did Alex have anything? It was delicious, right? You’re welcome. But they’re gonna make sure this show is run smoothly and is a good one. Alright, let’s go. Matt & Nick then see Top Flight walk in. Did they get in here late? No, Darius & Dante have been here since like 1 PM. But then why aren’t they in gear? And where are their credentials? What? You guys were the ones that hired them. Nick says yeah, they do like Top Flight, but next time, it’ll be a fine.
What? Matt says they’re just kidding around, c’mon! Nick & Matt fist bump Dante & Darius, and then Matt says he and Nick are freakin’ killing it at bosses. Well, be that as it may, will The Bucks keep level heads wielding so much power?

BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
Not to be outdone by his greatest rival, Minoru Suzuki, we are getting the AEW debut of Yuji Nagata!! He is going to take on Bryan Danielson this Saturday, will Blue Justice slay the American Dragon?
Adam “Edge” Copeland speaks.
“I started this Cope Open for a few reasons. One: To prove to Christian Cage what I’ve always told him, is that I’m just better. And now someone has stepped up. Man, I get goosebumps just thinking about it. You ask any wrestling fan five years ago if they ever expected that they’d see this match. Savannah, Dynamite, the Rated R Superstar VS Minoru Suzuki. We are gonna beat the hell out of each other. Two grizzly, gnarled, evil bastards, and I can’t wait. Let me sum this match up in three words for all of you: Grit Your Teeth.”
Renee Paquette is on stage.
And she welcomes out The Virtuosa, Deonna Purrazzo! Fans cheer as Deonna makes her entrance, and she takes a seat with Renee on stage. And now, our AEW Women’s Champion, Toni Storm! “Timeless” Toni makes her way out, Luther holding the belt and Mariah May applauding. Toni also takes a seat, then takes the belt from Luther. Wow, how’re we getting both color and black ‘n’ white at the same time? Anyway, Renee says this has been brewing for weeks now. Ever since Deonna came to AEW, she has had her sights set on the world title while also getting some impressive wins.
Now, Toni said she’d meet Deonna face to face, so while they have this time, perhaps Deonna- Toni interrupts and says yes, she will speak first. She has a massage booked for 11 tonight. “Deonna, I believe you were recently body shamed. Which I think is ridiculous! Because there’s so much more to shame about you! Yes, we do have history. But that doesn’t mean you can just waltz in here and use our past friendship to get yourself a title shot. I have had many friends. And all of them less talented than me! You may be the greatest technical wrestler in the world today, but let me make thing clear: If you step into that ring, with me, I will twist your lips so hard you will need an epidural!”
Fans fire up hearing that! Deonna says this is insane. She didn’t come here to make friends. She came to become THE AEW Women’s World Champion! Fans cheer that, too! Deonna says it just so happens that the champion used to be a friend. But Deonna has no problems earning her title opportunity, and winning arm by arm. This isn’t the Toni Storm that Deonna wants to wrestle! “This delusional sham.” Deonna wants the Toni that lived on dojo floors with her, that moved to America and lived in Deonna’s home. “That Toni Storm was arguably one of the best in the world. And that Toni Storm is the one I wanna beat for the AEW Women’s World Championship.”
So Deonna is begging, please, dig down deep and find that version of Toni Storm. And if she needs any further reminder, just take a look at your ankle. Deonna’s pretty sure it looks a lot like hers. Deonna then shows off an ankle tattoo they both have! Deonna says Toni might have everyone here fooled, but not her. Toni says, “Y’know what, Deonna? You can take your little ta-too, and blow it right out of your bunghole!!” Toni throws her mic at Deonna, so Deonna throws a SHOE at Toni!! Fans fire up as now we return to full color, and Deonna gets an arm! FUJIWARA!! Mariah drags Toni to safety, but then Deonna runs up!
Mariah dodges, the BOOT hits Luther! The butler’s catching strays! Mariah hurries to get Toni away, but Deonna holds up the belt! Fans cheer, but will this be how it goes at Revolution?
Jon Moxley speaks.
“Since you first heard the words, ‘Blackpool Combat Club,’ do you know how many matches we’ve won? How many championships? I don’t keep track, but trust me, it is a lot. Y’know how many victory parties we’ve had? Zero. See, we don’t spend a lot of time patting each other on the back, having victory parties. Y’know why? We don’t have the time. Cuz there’s always another match around the corner, there’s always a bigger threat, a bigger challenge, a bigger mountain to climb around the corner, and that’s what it takes to be the best. The commitment to be the best, to be elite. Know what ‘elite’ means? It’s the name of the company, right? Maybe look it up in a dictionary.
“A lot of people come here, and they don’t know what it means from the start, they all just think it’s a big party. The party’s over. And 2024, personally, I will maim and pulverize and torture anybody who can’t get with the program and keep up. Every time I step into that ring, I will give everything of myself. When I step into the ring in Savannah Georgia this Friday night, I will cut my heart out and leave it in the middle of the mat and bleed out if I have to if that’s what it takes to give every single bit of my heart and soul to the people who paid their hard-earned money for what is supposed to be the best wrestling show in the world. And I’m gonna do it every single time.”
Johnny TV & Taya Valkyrie speak.
La Wera Loca wants to reintroduce them to the world. She is Taya Valkyrie and this is Johnny TV, “The Most TV-Ready Couple in AEW.” Now they’ve been watching, and some things are really starting to piss her off! That one girl wanting to just jump to the front of the line! No buts, no cuts, no coconuts! Taya is not one of these other “dumb girlies” who doesn’t know who The Virtuosa is, so she is challenging Deonna to a match, live on Dynamite next week in New Orleans. And after that, Deonna can get to the back of the line! Johnny & Taya kiss as we cut away, will Taya earn her own spot at Revolution?
Swerve Strickland w/ Prince Nana VS Jeff Hardy w/ Matt Hardy!
The Realest wants the top spot in AEW, but he still has to fight his way up to earn his shot at Samoa Joe. Will he keep pace with Hangman’s big win earlier tonight? Or will Brother Nero render him OBSOLETE?

It was a gritty fight from both stars, but Rosa says when is it her time, Toni? Or perhaps… Julia Hart? Rosa has her options open, who will she choose to challenge?

Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He knows we know that Revolution on March 3rd is drawing near, and his guests have a lot to talk about. One of the best teams AEW has ever seen, it is Darby Allin and STIIIIING~! The fans fire up as The Relentless Icons make their way down to the ring and join Schiavone. Darby wants to take a few seconds to talk about some things. Whenever he does interviews, whether on the radio or on TV, everyone always asks, “What’s it like to team with The Icon, Sting?” And also, maybe Darby should slow down in the ring so he doesn’t retire before Sting does. Darby says he won’t worry about that stuff. Instead, he wants to speak on the impact Sting has had on Darby’s career.
Darby says it didn’t just start in 2020 in AEW, no. This goes back to 2015, Darby’s first year of pro-wrestling. Darby saw Sting’s career seemingly end early from a neck injury. Darby wondered, “What if that was me? What if my life’s work was cut short?” And all these years later, Darby heard Sting was coming to AEW, and he wasn’t sure what that really meant. We thought Sting was never going to wrestle again. Darby is sure Sting remembers this next part. Darby flew to Sting’s house in Texas because he heard Sting had a wrestling ring in his garage. They were going around in the ring, and within five minutes, what’d Darby say to Sting?
Darby looked Sting dead in his eyes, and he told Sting, “You still got it.” And he wasn’t lying to Sting, either. Wait, Matt & Nick are watchin this from gorilla, and they don’t seem to like this. Matt says something to somebody in the headset, but Darby says he told Sting to get back in the ring and finish his career on his own terms! And just look at them now! 27-0 as a team! UNDEFEATED! And the rankings are back, so uh, that should put them clearly in the top spot as #1 contenders to Ricky Starks & Big Bill. The fans like the sound of that! “And we’d be kinda dumbasses not to take the opportunity.”
Darby says like all those years ago in Texas, he wants to say this to Sting eye-to-eye one more time: “You still got it.” Darby says the only difference here is, Darby’s not alone. He is sure Savannah agrees, “You still got it.” And the fans do indeed chant, “You Still Got It!” Sting hears the fans, so Darby says, “What do you say?” Does Sting wanna end his career as AEW World Tag Team Champions? Darby hands the mic over, fans “WOO~” for Sting and chant his name. Sting says, “Alright, Savannah. I’m all in.” Fans cheer that! Darby and Sting hug it out, and then Sting howls into the night! The Relentless Icons are coming for the titles, will Sting retire with gold around his waist?
Ricky Starks & “Big Bill” Morrissey speak.
The Human Skyscraper says, “Sting & Darby Allin. Thank you, thank you so much, for finally having the respect to address us by name.” Starks adds, “Thank God.” Bill continues to thank Darby & Sting for finally having the respect to address them as THE AEW World Tag Team Champions. And as far as the challenge goes for a match for these titles, Bill & Starks accept. Starks says it is fitting. Sting started his AEW career going against Starks and a tag partner, in his first match back after six years. And it is very fitting that now, Starks and the best partner he’s ever had will END Sting’s AEW career.
Starks says Sting ain’t making it to Revolution, man, so you might as well pay their respects right now. Lay down so Starks & Bill can walk right over you and Darby. Starks is ready, but will he and Bill be in for an absolute surprise?
AEW World Trios Championships: The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn VS The Mogul Embassy!
As of Collision last Saturday, the Bang Bang Scissor Gang is a thing, as indicated by how Jay White & The Gunns make their entrances first, showing off the ROH World Six Man Tag titles. And then here come the AEW World Trios Champions, so “Yo! Listen!” Caster has his diss track ready! “It’s The Nigerian Scammer, Prince Nana! Please stop sendin’ emails to my mama! Your little crown only cost four dolla, buy a pair of shoes for the dude from Moana! Brian Cage realizin’ the dream! For once you’re not the most generic guy on the team! Y’see that your whole entire thing gettin’ rearranged. You are now rockin’ with the Bang Bang Scissor Gang!”
Bowens takes the mic to say, “SAAAVANNAAAAAAH~ The Acclaimed have arrived! Scissor me, Daddy Ass~!” And he does! Platinum Max, the Five Tool Player & Billy Gunn are ready, will the Scissor World Tour continue into 2024?
The trios sort out, Caster starts against The Machine and they circle. They tie up, Cage powers Caster to a corner, then RAMS into him! And RAMS again! The ref counts, Cage wrenches to whip corner to corner, but Caster goes up and over. Caster then ducks ‘n’ dodges, hurdles then slips free of a scoop to DROPKICK!

Bowens blocks but Cage kicks low! Cage whips Bowens into the Embassy corner, tags Liona, and then Cage sends Liona in to SPLASH! Lions lets Bowens flop over, then Liona drags Bowens back up. Bowens throws body shots but Liona kicks low! Liona CLUBS Bowens down, then tags Cage.
Cage CHOKES Bowens on ropes, the ref reprimands, and Cage lets off. Nana talks trash and Kaun gets a cheap shot in! Cage drags Bowens from ropes to drop a knee on Bowens’ head! Cage then drags Bowens up, but Bowens fires forearms and CHOPS! But Cage SOBATS, scoops and SLAMS! Cage flexes, then he drags Bowens up. Cage bumps Bowens off buckles, CHOPS him, and Dynamite returns to single picture. Cage ROCKS Bowens, whips him corner to corner, then runs in, but into a BOOT! Bowens goes up, leaps, FLYING BLOCKBUSTER! Fans fire up as Bowens and Cage crawl! Hot tag to Liona and he drags Bowens away!
Liona fireman’s carries, Bowens slips free to ROLLING ELBOW! Both men wobble, but Liona tags Kaun! Kaun runs to BLAST Caster! Billy wants in but the ref says now. But Bowens ROCKS Liona and back drops Kaun! Hot tag to Billy! The fans go wild as Daddy Ass rallies on The Embassy with big haymakers! Billy TOSSES Kaun, dodges Cage and kicks low, “SUCK IT!” Billy runs, but Liona POUNCES! Fans boo but Bowens runs up to fire off the Five Tool Strike Fest! But then Cage fireman’s carries Bowens, for an F5! Caster CHOPS Cage, fireman’s carries him, and DEATH VALLEY DRIVERS! But Kaun SHOTGUNS Caster!
Kaun roars, Nana wants him to end this! Kaun kicks Billy, underhooks, GLORY TO MOUNT FAKO!! Cover, TWO?!? Billy survives and Nana can’t believe it! So Nana grabs a chair! Nana slides that chair in while Kaun distracts the ref with arguing. Nana then distracts the ref, Kaun gets that chair, and he aims for Billy! But Jay White snatches that chair!

The first match as The Bang Bang Scissor Gang, and it is a success! White & The Gunns applaud their new pals, will this sensational six soon take over everything?
Serena Deeb speaks.
“Anticipation is a very powerful emotion. A message to our Women’s Division: The Professor is ready to return, and the wait is over.” Who will be put to the test by the Woman of 1000 Holds?

With Starks & Bill accepting the challenge, their match with Sting & Darby is now set! Two weeks from tonight, Dynamite in Phoenix, Arizona, it will be The Absolute & Skyscraper VS The Relentless Icons! Will 27-0 continue into 28-0? Or will Sting’s career not end on his terms?
Adam “Edge” Copeland VS Minoru Suzuki!
The Rated R Superstar didn’t even need to make this a #CopeOpen, because it was answered the moment he dared veterans to step up to the plate! The Meanest Man in the World, the King of Pancrase, wants to take a bite out of the WWE Grand Slam Champion, will he show Copeland who really has edge?
The bell rings on this commercial free match, and the fans are already losing their minds! Even Edge seems stunned this is really happening as he circles with Suzuki. They approach, and then immediately start firing forearms! Fans fire up as they go back and forth, faster and faster, and then suddenly they slow down as Suzuki ROCKS Edge! Edge ROCKS Suzuki, Suzuki ROCKS Edge back! Both men take a moment, and while Edge grits his teeth, Suzuki has that wild grin on his face! Edge fires a forearm, Suzuki eggs him on! Suzuki then ROCKS Edge, so Edge fires another shot! Suzuki ROCKS Edge again, and Edge drops to his knees!
Fans fire up while Suzuki laughs, and Suzuki brings Edge up. Edge CHOPS! Suzuki nods, and CHOPS back! Suzuki runs, but into a CHOP! Edge runs, Suzuki follows, shoots around and DECKS Edge!! Fans fire up again while Suzuki drags Edge up and reels him in. “This is Awesome!” as Suzuki goes for the Gotch lift! Edge fights, back drops free, and fans fire up again! Suzuki goes to the apron, Edge storms over, but Suzuki grabs a HANGING ARMBAR! Edge fights free of it to fire forearms! Edge runs, and he BOOTS Suzuki! Suzuki holds the ropes but he wobbles, so Edge runs again. But Suzuki KNEES Edge first!
Suzuki then drags Edge through the ropes to have a GUILLOTINE! Edge flounders out of the ring, Suzuki brings him around and cranks on the hold! Edge fights, flails, and then RAMS Suzuki through barriers!! The fans lose their minds all over again! Suzuki is stunned, but then he grins! Suzuki is having fun as he and Edge slowly sit up. The ring count starts and Suzuki has to remember, AEW does a 10 count, not a 20 like in NJPW. Suzuki throws forearms on Edge then heads back for the ring. Edge hurries after, we’re at 5 of 10, and then Suzuki stands to fire forearms! Edge fires back! The count is 8 of 10, both men stagger over, and they slide in at 9.9!!
Fans fire up as both legends are back in the ring, “This is Awesome!” Suzuki grins as he and Edge head for each other. Suzuki eggs Edge on, so Edge fires a forearm! Suzuki fires back! Edge shakes his head, and fires back! Suzuki fires another! Edge scowls, fires another forearm, but then so does Suzuki! The forearms pick up speed, the fans rally as both men stand! The shots keep going, and Suzuki laughs! Suzuki SLAPS, Edge SLAPS, but then Suzuki bobs ‘n’ weaves! DOUBLE SLAPS take both men down! The fans fire up again and a standing count begins! Suzuki stirs at 3 of 10 but Edge also moves around.
The count passes 5 of 10, both men sit up and Suzuki stands Edge up. Suzuki ROCKS Edge with another forearm! Edge ROCKS Suzuki back! Both men wobble, and Suzuki comes back with a laugh. Edge eggs Suzuki on so Suzuki ROCKS him! And ROCKS him again! Suzuki eggs Edge on so Edge ROCKS Suzuki! Suzuki just smiles, and then SLAPS! SLAPS! SLAP SLAP SLAP, the palm strikes paint Edge’s face! Suzuki wrenches but Edge rolls to kick low, IMPALER DDT! Both men are down and fans fire up again! The fans duel, “Let’s Go, Adam!” “SU-ZU-KI!” Edge crawls to a corner, stands up, and takes aim!
Edge runs in, but Suzuki dodges to get the arm! FUJIWARA ARMBAR!! Edge flails, reaches out, but Suzuki pushes back on the arm! Edge endures, claws his way around, and grabs the ROPEBREAK! Fans cheer and Suzuki lets off. Suzuki stalks Edge to a corner, for a SLEEPER! The ref reprimands, but Edge pulls buckle pad away! Edge arm-drags free, ducks ‘n’ dodges, and SPEARS!! But he has to crawl to the cover! TWO!!! Suzuki survives and that shocks Edge! Suzuki sits up and grins! Then he body scissors for the SLEEPER!! Edge endures, flails, but that Rear Naked Choke is on tight! Edge moves around, pries at the hold, and he gets out of the body scissors!
Edge fights up, but Suzuki squeezes tight! Edge’s face is turning purple already, but Suzuki just keeps squeezing! Edge is fading!! The ref checks, the fans rally as hard as they can, and the arm goes down ONCE! But then Edge revives! Edge runs to a corner, Suzuki hits bare buckle!! Edge then chicken wings, to KILLSWITCH!! A message to Christian as Edge covers, EDGE WINS!!
Winner: Adam “Edge” Copeland, by pinfall
The Ultimate Opportunist managed to find an opening that would allow him to bring down Suzuki! And wouldn’t you know? Christian Cage is watching this backstage. Captain Charisma is seething seeing his archenemy on a win streak. Will The Patriarchy have no choice but to face Edge once again?
As for Edge, he gets a mic and catches his breath. “I’ve never been hit that hard in my life. Gaddamn. Suzuki. Respect.” Fans cheer that! Edge offers a handshake, and Suzuki stands, only to growl at Edge and leave. Edge says honestly, he would’ve been disappointed if Suzuki did shake his hand. “But that was a war! The kind of war that Christian Cage knows nothing about. Christian, I am still coming for you!” Will the Cope Open continue on until the R in “Rated R” stands for Revolution?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite here, and this seems to be a great sign of how AEW is going to look with the rankings making a comeback. Samoa Joe and Hook had a great opening bit just to keep in mind that Hook will return for another world title match one day. And Joe was great on commentary during Hangman’s awesome match with Penta to get things going. Given how Joe was so upset Hangman won, it feels like Joe VS Hangman is where they’re going to lead this. And that’s even with Swerve winning his own awesome match against Jeff Hardy and then rubbing that in Hangman’s face. No idea who they’ll each throw at each other in Dealer’s Choice, but that’s part of the fun.
Really good match from Wardlow VS Trent with everyone else ringside, and I figured Wardlow would win. But this still feeds two stories at once: Wardlow gains momentum going towards the title; and Trent’s frustration at the end, him pushing Cassidy, maybe we get Cassidy VS Trent for the International Championship at some point. I also like the field they chose for that “Freshly Squeezed Fatal 4,” though I was anticipating an even bigger match than that. Komander and Vikingo are allies, but so are Kip and Butcher, it’ll be about which side falls apart that determines the winner and Cassidy’s next challenger.
Rosa VS Velvet was good, but rather clunky. They did note it was the first time Rosa and Velvet ever faced each other, so maybe they just weren’t clicking. Rosa still wins, of course, and I do appreciate that she not only calls out Storm but realizes she could call out the TBS Champion. Julia Hart does need someone to feud with, and Rosa is a great choice, regardless of who wins out in the end. And speaking of Toni Storm, what a great promo from her and Deonna. And seriously, I am impressed they pulled off splitting the screen between color and black ‘n’ white. Deonna stands tall here, but we’re still a way’s away from Revolution, so don’t count her out just yet.
Really good promo from Bucks to add to their roles as Heel authority figures, them trolling Top Flight but then perhaps throwing their weight around upon hearing Darby talking about him and Sting. Sting & Darby VS Starks & Bill for the tag titles happening before Revolution is of course so The Bucks can “abuse” their power and get their title shot against Sting & Darby at Revolution so they’ll not just retire Sting but also get back on top of the tag division. And great Trios Championship match, with Bullet Club Gold making great saves so that Acclaimed can retain. At this point, I still feel like things might happen where BCG turn on Acclaimed and we get Winners Take All at Revolution so that only one trio has all the trios belts.
Great promo from Moxley, though he didn’t say anything different from what he said on Collision, so it was really just so he’d be on TV. And good promo from Deeb but it was unfortunately redundant when the “BREAKING NEWS” already said she was showing up on Collision. And great to hear that Yuji Nagata is showing up on Collision. AEW is of course trying really hard to counter program Royal Rumble this Saturday, and Nagata showing up is great for fans who only watch AEW. But fans of both AEW and WWE (like myself) aren’t ditching The Royal Rumble for it.
And of course, great main event from Suzuki VS Edge. Edge was surely telling the truth that Suzuki was hitting him harder than anyone ever before. Edge of course calls Christian out in case anyone forgot why he’s doing this, and of course Edge VS Christian is the choice for Revolution’s TNT Championship match. Still hoping Luchasaurus betrays Christian so that Edge keeps the TNT Championship this time.
My Score: 8.9/10

AEW World Trios Championships: The Death Riders VS AR Fox & Top Flight!
Jon Moxley survived another title defense thanks to Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta & Pac, but now they must defend their own titles.

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!

BREAKING NEWS for April!
Dynamite returns to Boston, but it won’t be Big Business. It’ll be a Spring Breakthru! Get your tickets now so you don’t miss out!
Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Lexy Nair brings up the intense match Adam Cole and Daniel Garcia had, going to Hell and back, all for the TNT Championship. It unfortunately ended in a time limit draw, and some would say a tie is worse than a loss. Cole says he certainly feels that way. He feels sick to his stomach, physically beat up, and the worst part is, he had Garcia beat. “Daniel Garcia, I had you beat for that TNT Championship. The time limit is what saved you. And lemme tell you, the next time we do face each other, there will be no outside interference, there will be no time limit. It will be Adam Cole VS Daniel Garcia, for the TNT Championship, and trust me when I tell you, you’re looking at the next champ!”
Kyle O’Reilly says wow. And speaking of rematches, it has been about a week since their match with FTR. And what’s really bugging him isn’t the loss, it’s the lack of respect. Kyle & Roddy showed a lot of respect. They held out their hands, and what’d FTR do? FTR left Kyle wondering if they really are everything they say they are: The best tag team on Earth that’s ever existed in the time-space continuum! Kyle thinks they’re just insecure. Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! No. No, we are not gonna do that. That loss matters. We didn’t go through what we went through to get back together, to lose to the supposed best tag team on the planet.”
Roddy wants FTR to hear this. “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. The third time’s not gonna happen, fellas.” Cole says, “And that is Undisputed.” When and where will we see these epic trilogies happen?
Backstage interview with Kazuchika Okada.
Slam Dunk Sunday returns as Lexy is now with The Rainmaker. We’re not even a quarter into 2025 and Okada has gotten some very significant wins defending the AEW Continental Championship. Okada says yes, at Grand Slam: Australia, he beat Buddy Matthews. At Revolution, he beat Brody King. He put those dogs down. What does that mean? Okada says he means, he put those b*tches to sleep! Is The Rainmaker saying the Hounds of Hell are no more? Or will they come barking back and take a bite out of his belt?
Bandido VS Johnny TV!
The Most Wanted wants his revenge on Chris Jericho, but he was first challenged by the Guru of Greatness for this “big ratings” showdown. Will Bandido mute Johnny and head for The Nueve? Or will he find he’s not #TVReady?
Johnny disrespects Bandido during his entrance by throwing his big studded jacket at him! The fans boo, Johnny grins, but Bandido fires off forearms! The bell rings, Johnny pushes Bandido back, then wrangles him. Johnny rolls Bandido, ONE, but Johnny floats to rain down fists and stomps! Johnny gets his sunglasses off, the fans boo, but Johnny says he is TV Ready. Johnny taunts “cabron” Bandido, then KICKS him in the back. Johnny eggs Bandido on, “How’s my foot taste?” Johnny drags Bandido up for a NECKBREAKER! The fans boo as Johnny shows off the abs. Johnny KICKS Bandido, drags him back up, then fires body shots.
Johnny whips, Bandido ducks ‘n’ dodges, then he CLOBBERS Johnny! The fans fire up as Bandido keeps moving, another big forearm! And another big forearm! Bandido fires up, the fans are with him, and he runs in at the corner. Bandido jumps up to MONKEY FLIP! Johnny flops hard on his face! Johnny gets up in a huff, but runs into a military press! With ONE HAND! Bandido then THROWS Johnny down! Omaha rallies more while Johnny bails out, and Collision goes to single picture.
Bandido build speed, but Johnny slides in and LARIATS! Johnny mocks the clapping, then covers, TWO! Bandido is tougher than that, but Johnny drags him right up. Johnny reels Bandido in, MOONLIGHT DRIVE! Cover, TWO! Bandido is still tougher than that, but Johnny clamps on a dragon sleeper. Bandido endures, even as Johnny hooks a leg and twists him. Bandido fights around, reaches out, but Johnny drags him back! Johnny keeps on the stretch plum style hold, but Bandido still endures. Bandido fights up, fires knees, but Johnny CLUBS Bandido! Johnny INVERTED SUPLEXES, but Bandido lands on the apron!
Bandido blocks a shot, slingshots, but Johnny SHOVES him down! Bandido hits the floor and Johnny goes out after him. Johnny storms up on Bandido, stands him up, and whips him into steel steps! Bandido falls in a heap, Johnny stalks him and taunts him, but Collision goes to break.
Slam Dunk Sunday returns, Johnny runs in at the corner but Bandido BOOTS him away! Bandido then UPPERCUTS, goes up, but Johnny throws him down! Bandido rolls to his feet, runs back in, but Johnny dodges. Johnny runs back in, but Bandido SHOTGUNS him down! The fans fire up, Bandido covers, TWO! Johnny survives that shot but Bandido stays focused. The fans rally, Bandido paces, and Bandido drags Johnny up. Bandido gut wrenches to a Canadian Rack, that then becomes a torture rack! X KNEE! Johnny staggers to the ropes, Bandido says BANG! Bandido runs in, BLACKJACK 21 PLEX!! Bridging cover, Bandido wins!
Winner: Bandido, by pinfall
The Most Wanted was most certainly #TVReady! But he’s not done, as he grabs a mic to call out Jericho! “Come here, and bring my little brother, Gravity’s mask, RIGHT NOOOW!” Bandido waits, and here comes The Learning Tree! The ROH World Champion has “Big Bill” & Bryan Keith behind him, and he is holding onto Gravity’s mask. The fans boo, but Jericho smiles as he holds the mask up. The Learning Tree goes to the ring, and Jericho also has a mic. Jericho steps and says, “You know, Bandido. I wish I could tell you it doesn’t have to be this way, but I think we both know that it does.
“Because even after a generational career, one of the greatest in pro-wrestling history, I still have to remind you, everybody here watching tonight, everybody at home, who’s been fortunate enough to witness the brilliance of the Jericho Era… That you can only take me for granted for so long! That you can only take from me so much until I start taking back.” Jericho can be quite generous, and he can also be very dangerous. Bandido can just ask his family. The fans boo, but Jericho says Bandido’s terrified sister, his disgraced brother, and his weeping mother…! And Jericho is sorry he made Bandido’s mother cry, he really is.
But he had to teach Bandido a lesson! That’s what happens when you try and take the ROH World Championship from Chris Jericho! You understand him? Do you?! The fans boo, but Jericho says if Bandido wants the mask back, he can’t have it. Because Jericho wants Bandido to remember the humiliation that he felt when Jericho took this mask right off his brother. And the only thing worse than taking a luchador’s mask… is putting that mask on! Jericho goes to put Gravity’s mask on! The fans boo as Jericho wears it as his own! His big head doesn’t even fit in it! The fans chant “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” but Jericho tells them to shut up!
Jericho, muffled as his voice is now, tells Bandido that Bandido should just stand there and cry like his mother! Bandido DECKS Jericho instead! But now Bill runs up! Bandido dodges, BOOTS Keith, then dodges again! Bandido goes up, up, but into Bill’s big hand! SKYSCRAPER- NO, Bandido slips free, then dodges Keith! Bandido SNATCHES the mask off Jericho, and gets away clean! The fans fire up as Bandido gets his moral victory! But will he and Jericho go one more round for THE victory?
Megan Bayne speaks.
“I’ve watched others fight for what they believe is theirs: Titles, fame, glory. But none of them possess true power. They worship at the feet of champions, but even those champions don’t understand what it is to be chosen by the heavens. I have arrived here as the embodiment of fate. And when they bow before me, when they worship at my feet, they’ll finally know that the All Elite Goddess has arrived. I am The Megasus, and this is my kingdom now.”
Toni Storm speaks.
“Who died and made you God? Who came down from the mountains and bestowed your power upon my people? Megan Bayne, have you heard the mythology of the one they call Timeless? Hercules doesn’t have my thighs, I have an Oedipal Complex with myself, I can summon the Kraken from my ass, and Pegasus ain’t got s*it on me! I saw my reflection, and my reflection saw me, and we made love until the sun came up. And at Dynasty, I will cut off the head of the mighty Megasus, and I will hold it aloft for the whole world to see, and I will say… ‘By GAWD I’m good.'” Luther applauds in the background, will Toni Storm slay this female titan?
Harley Cameron VS Aminah Belmont!
Though she was rather coy about her- er, Harley-gram’s budding romance with The Beast Mortos, the wild Aussie is getting back in action. Will the Phoenix Princess #FEELTHEWRATH on Slam Dunk Sunday?
The bell rings and the fans rally for Harley. Harley and Aminah tie up, Harley headlocks, but Aminah powers up and out. Aminah drops down, Harley rolls over then bypasses Aminah to LARIAT! The fans cheer, Harley runs and KNEES Aminah low. Then a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! The fans fire up again and Harley stands Aminah up. Aminah throat chops, then straitjackets for the NECKBREAKER! Harley flounders to a corner, Aminah mocks the fans, then she runs in, but into an ELBOW! Harley runs up, ducks the lariat and ENZIGIRIS! The fans fire up for Harley, she ducks Aminah’s roundhouse to pump handle!
Harley lifts for the PUMP HANDLE SAIDO! The fans fire up with Harley, “FEEL THE WRATH!” And then she dragon sleepers, for HER FINISHING MOVE! Cover, Harley wins!
Winner: Harley Cameron, by pinfall
Aminah certainly did #FEELTHEWRATH, and Harley goes right to commentary for our main event! Will Harley have a good time watching Komander & Hologram officially debut as a team? Or will Dralistico y Mortos make everything tranquilo?
Backstage interview with Don Callis.
Lexy is with cruddy Callis and brings up all that is going on within the Family. We have not seen Kyle Fletcher since the brutal cage match at Revolution, and- Callis stops Lexy there. He says we all know what she’s up to here. She is passive aggressively getting Callis all worked up about the cage match, but here’s the thing. When you have Kyle Fletcher, just 26 years old, and already the future of pro-wrestling, “you have the luxury of putting nights like Revolution in the rearview mirror. What I’ve got planned for Kyle Fletcher, what we’ve got planned, is gonna dwarf anything that your little brain could possibly fathom!”
But one thing she said is right: Everyone wants to see Kyle! So tonight is a little treat. Ladies and gentlemen… The Protostar, the future of wrestling, and the New God of Pro-Wrestling, Kyle BAH GAWD Fletcher! Yes, Kyle indeed steps into frame, and he says there has been a lot of talk and rumors that he was in some hospital bed, licking his wounds, but he is here to set the story straight. Yes, the cage match, the entire rivalry with Ospreay, has changed Kyle. But one thing that has not changed is the fact that he is destined to be the greatest of all time!
So he will be at Dynamite this Wednesday, and he’ll make it very apparent what is next for The Family, and for The Protostar, Kyle Fletcher. Say his full name, baby! Callis and Kyle hug it out, are maybe feeling a little too good, but just what is next for the DCF in AEW?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
Tony Khan has decided what’s next for Kyle: Brody King! Will the King of Death prove the Hounds of Hell are not done yet? Or will The Protostar use him as a stepping stone to the top? Then, it is some big meaty men slapping meat as “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs takes on Mark Davis. Will Hobbs finally get past the Don Callis Family with this? Plus, after Megan Bayne and Toni Storm each said their piece tonight, we’re getting a tag team match! Megan again teams with Penelope Ford against the reunited #ThunderStorm! Can La Mera Mera get her own revenge while helping Timeless Toni tune up for Dynasty?
And Kenny Omega not only returns, he is back in action against Blake Christian! Will the Best Bout Machine use the Vanilla Babyface as an appetizer for that big International Championship Triple Threat at Dynasty? And last but not least, after Dax Harwood left Cope hanging last week, Tony Schiavone will interview #RatedFTR to get to the bottom of this divide. All this when AEW arrives in St. Paul, Minnesota!
Los Titanes del Aire VS La Faccion Ingobernable!
This one has been a long time coming. Hologram was put on the shelf because of Dralistico, Mortos y Rush, but he was able to reboot, rebuild and refresh in time to help Komander fight back. Can the Titans of the Air fly high over LFI? Or will Dralistico y Mortos stampede over them like rampaging bulls?
The teams sort out, the ref has to keep them back, and then Dralistico starts against Hologram. Harley claims to have no idea who “Harley-gram” really is, but whoever she is, she has a fantastic chest. Wait, Mortos CLOBBERS Komander! The fans boo, but Hologram dodges, and Mortos CLOBBERS Darlistico! Hologram fires hands, Mortos headlocks, but Hologram goes up the ropes! Hologram then flips free, SOBATS, and whips. Hologram ducks under then hurdles over Mortos. Mortos leaps over, runs back up, ARABIAN PRESS and a roll! The fans fire up, Hologram dodges Mortos to then tilt-o-whirl and DEJA VU-

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

Slam Dunk Saturday returns and Platinum Max is already in the ring. 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. Caster cartwheels, cheers himself on, but then Hook trips Caster up! The fans cheer, and Hook clamps on REDRUM!! Caster TAPS, Hook wins!
Winner: Hook, by submission
Well, now it’s 0-6. Will Caster ever realize he’s not the Best Wrestler Alive?
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?
Julia Hart VS Queen Aminata!

Winner: Julia Hart, by pinfall
The tiebreaker goes to Julia, and Aminata is stunned! If the Hart Always Wins, will she make her way back to a championship? Will Aminata decide to take Deeb up on her teachings now?
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.

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.

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.

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
