AEW shares footage from earlier today.
The Executive Vice Presidents, The Young Bucks, arrived in style, and Nick said, “God is good,” to which Matt replied, “All the time.” But then a stage hand hands Nick & Matt tonight’s schedule and directed them towards the office. Nick was offended, he is getting sick of the disrespect. Their birth certificates say Nicolas Lee and Matthew John Jackson, do not forget that. Yes, sir… Just for that, that’s a $500 fine! Nick- er, Nicolas, heads out and Matthew tells the stage hand it’s okay, Nicolas is just a hothead. But yeah, pay that fine by end of day, please and thank you. Let’s have a good show, huh?
Wardlow w/ The Undisputed Kingdom VS Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes!
The War Dog is himself on a roll and is hunting down his own shot at the AEW World Championship. Adam Cole rolls along in what was Roderick Strong’s wheelchair, will he and the boys be proud of their big man? Or will the AAA Cruiserweight Champion show them all what he can do all by himself?
It seems Cole is joining commentary even. He asks if we’re ready to see an ass-kicking like we’ve never seen before, courtesy of his “good pal,” Wardlow. The bell rings and Komander circles with Wardlow. Wardlow has a smug grin on his face as he eggs Komander on. Komander and Wardlow tie up, and Wardlow throws Komander down!

Winner: Wardlow, by pinfall
Komander gave Wardlow more of a fight than Wardlow wanted, and he took a bit more damage than expected. But then The Kingdom drags Komander back in so Roddy can shout at him! “KOMANDERRR~! You should’ve taken the deal that I offered you on Saturday. But now, now you’re gonna pay the price.” But wait! Orange Cassidy makes his way out here! Freshly Squeezed has Best Friends with him, they aren’t gonna let an amigo get beat down! They stand against The Kingdom while the fans fire up but Roddy tells everyone to shut up! Roddy “thanks” Best Friends for coming out here, but see ya later.
Fans boo as The Kingdom bails. But Cassidy taunts Roddy with the International Championship. Will Roddy get his comeuppance at Revolution? Or will he just add more gold to the Kingdom’s collection?
Tony Schiavone has a sit-down interview with the Relentless Icons and the Absolute Tag Team Champions.
Sting & Darby Allin sit on the left side, Ricky Starks & “Big Bill” Morrissey are on the right, and Schiavone in the middle notes that next week, Dynamite in Phoenix, Arizona will see these two teams battle for the AEW World Tag Team Championships. Starks wanted this time to talk to Darby & Sting, but there is to be no physicality. Ricky, the floor is yours. Starks says that he just felt it’d be appropriate to actually talk face-to-face since this is all about respect now. Starks wanted to take this time to personally tell Sting, what a journey he has had in AEW. “But don’t forget, this journey here started with me.”
It started in 2021, also AEW Revolution, after five long years of Sting being away. Starks and Sting got to mix it up. Sting asks what he did, Starks hasn’t gotten to that yet. Starks says Sting had his first win in AEW over Starks, and that doesn’t sit right. Darby speaks up by saying if we’re talking about respect, how that’s what this is about. Starks says he respects The Icon, right? Then that’s a load of BS, because we all know what this is really about. Starks wants this as a stepping stone in his career. He doesn’t respect Sting! Or anybody, really! Look at Darby when he’s talking to you! Schiavone has things cool down.
Darby says this is not some stepping stone. Sting’s career is NOT someone’s stepping stone! Starks says Darby is the one who had to go and attach himself to somebody like Sting! Starks’ point is, next week, two things happen, and he wants us to know now: one, Starks & Bill retain the AEW World Tag Team Championships; and two, Starks will get his lick back. The vendetta inside of him, the chip on his shoulder, well guess what? Starks will make sure Sting doesn’t even make it to Revolution. As for Darby, Starks has NO respect for him, never gonna happen, there is no space for it! Who the hecc is Darby?
Bill says he’s heard a lot of talking. Sting & Darby just run their mouth about “greatest tag partner I’ve ever had” and “Sting’s gonna retire a tag team champion!” Oh, wow, so beautiful. But all Sting & Darby have done is brag about how they’re gonna go into Revolution as champions, without ever mentioning Starks & Bill, without ever talking to Starks & Bill. They have done what everyone else has done and overlooked Starks & Bill. But next Wednesday, Sting & Darby will represent everyone else here in AEW, and Starks & Bill will take out all of their frustrations on them.
Sting sighs and says he’ll start with Starks. Sting was the first to get face to face with Starks. Sting admired Starks back then, he was the only one who had the balls to get in Sting’s face and talk back. As far as respect goes, you gotta earn that. And then big man, well, Sting has faced many big men before. The only difference here is that they were killers, we’re not sure about Bill yet. And Darby says he’ll just end it here with this: Darby does respect Starks. But every time Starks points the finger at someone else, there is only one person to blame, and that is Starks.
Starks SPLASHES Darby with water! Then he dares Darby to hit him! Sting calms Darby down. Sting has always hated talking anyway. Darby will hit Starks, in Phoenix. And uh, so will Sting. We’re just one week away from this heated showdown, will it be SHOWTIME in Phoenix?
Chris Jericho VS Kyle Fletcher w/ The Don Callis Family!
The Ocho wants to be done with The Don Callis Family, and the Don Callis Family just wants Jericho to be done for good! Win or lose tonight, Jericho will still have to give Konosuke Takeshita a rematch next week in Phoenix, but can he survive the Aussie Arrow tonight? Or will the #Protostar tear down the Wizard and leave nothing left over for The Alpha?
The bell rings and Jericho circles with Kyle. Kyle shoves Jericho so Jericho SLAPS Kyle! Kyle SLAPS, Jericho fires haymakers and the brawl is on!

Jericho BOOTS back, then runs up, but into a scoop and MICHINOKU DRIVER! Cover, TWO!! Jericho survives but Kyle rains down fists! Callis loves it as he watches from ringside.

Jericho triangle jumps to DROPKICK Kyle down! Fans fire up, Jericho hurries outside, and the ref makes sure Callis and “Powerhouse” Hobbs stay back. Jericho glares at Callis, Callis goes running but Jericho pursues! The fans fire up but then Kyle CLOBBERS Jericho from behind! Kyle roars but fans boo, and Kyle throws hands on Jericho. Kyle puts Jericho in, storms up on him, and puts him in a corner. Kyle ROCKS Jericho with a right, then climbs up to rain down fists!

Deonna Purrazzo speaks.
“Each one of my tattoos represents a different time in my life. The start of my wrestling ambitions, a Bible verse, song lyrics, my parents’ handwriting. And then, I have a duck. Toni (Storm) and I got this in the UK on a whim. It was meaningless and silly, but the more I looked at it and thought about it, it symbolizes so much more. It symbolizes two girls on their journey across the globe to become some of the best in the world. It symbolizes my personal journey of who I was, and who I am: The Virtousa. Toni, what I wanna know is, when you look at your ankle, what does that tattoo mean to you?”

I’m a big, big fan of scissoring, but don’t forget. We already have our own thing, too. Guns up for my New Orleans Gold~ Memberrrrs~!”
The fans cheer and put ’em up, and Caster says, “Yo.” “Yo!” “Yo!” “Yo!” “YO!” “YO!” “Listen.” Caster says we are looking at the six men who have dominated trios wrestling for years! But it’s not just the six of them, there is someone missing. Bowens! Get the Cardblade! Bowens goes out, and surprise! The Jay White cutout is still here! But the BCG explains no no no, they retired that thing weeks ago. How did that even get here? Oh, okay. Bowens TOSSES Cardblade, which White is a little upset about.

The fans cheer as “Juice Board Robinson” is here. Austin then says, “And if you’re not down with the Bang Bang Scissor Gang, then we-” Billy cuts off his son from continuing. Billy says he is literally right here. Austin says, “Dad, this is kinda my thing.” Uh, well, it was Billy’s thing when Austin was still a… Hmm… Let’s not go there. But Billy asks New Orleans if he should show ’em how to do it. “YES!” “And if you’re not down with the Bang Bang Scissor Gang, we’ve got TWO WORDS FOR YA!!” “SUCK IT!!” Oh, no, this is a new era. GUNS UP! Austin cheers, and then the whole family winds it up! And… SEXTUPLE GUN SCISSORS!
The Acclaimed, Gunn Club, Bullet Club Gold, Bang Bang Scissor Gang, whatever you call it, it’s a good time. Will this super six pack soon be running all of AEW & ROH?
Toni Storm is here!
She, along with butler, Luther, and superfan, Mariah May, heads down the ramp and she once again joins commentary so she may watch what is up next.
Deonna Purrazzo VS Taya Valkyrie w/ Johnny TV!
The Virtuosa has already spoken on her past with “Timeless” Toni Storm, but her wanting after that AEW Women’s World Championship has upset one La Wera Loca. Will Taya prove Deonna is not “TV Ready” just yet? Or will Deonna prove she is more than ready to share the spotlight with her old friend?
The bell rings and Deonna circles with Taya. They tie up, go around, and Taya pushes Deonna way. The fans rally up, the two reset and tie up again. They’re in a deadlock but Taya pulls hair to put Deonna in a corner! The ref counts, and Taya lets off to CHOP! The fans duel, Taya runs up but Deonna dodges! Deonna arm-drags Taya into a cording hold then adds a chinbar. Taya slips through but Deonna wrenches. Deonna ducks a lariat to wrench again, but Taya swings again. Deonna ducks, wrenches, and Toni says she would’ve told Taya chin up and tits out, but Taya already got the memo. Taya swings again, but Deonna WRINGS her out!
Deonna has the cording hold and chinbar again but Taya endures. Taya fights up, reaches out and has the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Deonna lets off, and Taya runs up to TACKLE Deonna! Deonna rains down elbows into the leg, then shifts around to have a deathlock. Taya pulls hair, floats to a facelock, but Deonna wrenches out. Taya rolls, fights up, and she puts Deonna in a corner. The ref counts but Taya CHOPS! Taya whips corner to corner but Deonna ducks the boot! Deonna runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, and tilt-o-whirls to RANA! Taya bails out and fans are torn. Johnny keeps Taya calm, and Taya shakes out her arms.
Deonna makes sure Toni is paying attention here, and she builds speed. Taya avoids the sliding dropkick and runs up the ramp! Johnny says Deonna doesn’t deserve to be in the ring with Miss TV! But that distraction allows Taya to get back in the ring. Deonna brushes Johnny off and turns around, but into Taya’s SPEAR! Fans fire up while Taya stomps Deonna, then RAMS her into steel steps! Taya kisses her hubby and Storm gags as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Taya drags Deonna up, puts her in the ring, and she stomps Deonna around. Taya drags Deonna up, SMACKS her off the mat, then looms over her. Taya taunts the fans, covers Deonna, TWO! Deonna snarls but Taya kicks her around. Taya stands Deonna up but Deonna ROCKS her! Taya ROCKS Deonna back, then CHOPS her in the corner! Taya stomps away, the ref counts, but Taya lets off to then dig her boots in! The ref reprimands and counts, Taya lets off at 4 and goes corner to corner. Taya runs back in, METEORA! Taya drags Deonna to a cover, TWO! Taya drags Deonna up and bumps her off buckles.
Taya runs in again but Deonna ELBOWS her! Deonna kicks, Taya blocks and KICKS the leg! Taya then puts Deonna in the ropes, KICKS and runs, SLIDING GERMAN! Taya smiles and soaks up the cheers and jeers, then she drags Deonna out to ROCK her! Deonna hits back and the two brawl at ringside! Taya whips, Deonna reverses, but Taya stops herself from hitting steps! Taya ELBOWS Deonna, but then Deonna wrenches her to RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP into the apron! Both women fall from that double-edged move, but Johnny coaches Taya up. Taya rolls into the ring while Deonna drags herself up and in.
Dynamite returns to single picture as Taya and Deonna rise. They throw forearms back and forth again and the fans rally up. Taya wobbles but she still hits back! Deonna gets the edge, things get fast and furious, and Taya shoves. Deonna rebounds to LARIAT! Deonna rallies, kicks low, and runs up to KNEE LIFT! Then RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Deonna rolls to flip Taya over, but Taya rolls Deonna! TWO, and Deonna BOOTS Taya! Taya falls, Deonna falls on the cover, TWO!! Deonna is frustrated and she drags Taya up. The forearms start flying again, Taya fires palm strikes and a ROLLING ELBOW!
Taya mule kicks, but Deonna swings! But Taya catches her for a BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cover, TWO!! Deonna survives but Taya keeps on her! Taya ties up the legs, sits Deonna up, but Deonna catches the leg to get a HEEL HOOK! Taya endures, reaches out, kicks at Deonna, and Deonna lets go. Taya SLIDING LARIATS! Cover, TWO!! Deonna is still in this but Taya stays on her! Taya ties up the legs, turns Deonna over but Deonna kicks free! Taya runs back in, Deonna TOSSES her out then builds speed! Deonna BASEBALL SLIDES Taya down! Deonna stares Storm down but Storm puts up fisticuffs!
Fans fire up as Storm dares Deonna to make a move. Taya runs up, but Deonna sends her into Storm! Fans fire up as Deonna puts Taya back in, then runs up. Deonna ducks ‘n’ dodges and BOOTS Taya, then wrangles her by the arms! Deonna makes Storm watch as she has a seated DOUBLE FUJIWARA!! A new take on the Venus De Milo, and Taya TAPS! Deonna wins!!
Winner: Deonna Purrazzo, by submission
Deonna lets Taya go but she never looks away from Storm. Storm seems rather speechless right now. But will the leading lady of AEW have a response when it’s finally her turn to act?
BREAKING NEWS for Rampage!

Backstage interview with Darby Allin.
Renee Paquette is with the Relentless One and notes how heated things got just earlier. She would… “love” to talk more about his adoration for The Young Bucks. Uh, what? Is that a serious question? But then The Bucks walk in and say that is a great question! He should definitely answer it! Renee deserves a raise for that one. But the Bucks assure Darby that they come in peace. This is vibe town tonight, right? Darby asks if they told Renee to ask that question. Oh, c’mon, Darby! The Bucks love him! He’s an AEW original! “Change the world,” right? He fits that quote! This is what AEW does! Young, hot talent, just like The Bucks!
But one thing Matthew wants to know that has him a little “perturbed,” why is Darby letting some 65-year-old leech take more money from him? Save some for the rest of us, right? But see, long after Sting is gone, which will actually be very, very soon, Matthew has a new idea for a new gimmick! Darby & The Bucks join up, and they become a new hot trio! The Bucks admittedly went through a goth phase in middle school, but they can bring that back. But all jokes aside, The Bucks have been back for about a month now, and Darby is just ducking and dodging them. That is unprofessional. He’s even ghosting their texts!
Does Darby have a problem with the Bucks or what? Darby says, “No offense, but there’s only one thing on my mind, and that’s the AEW Tag Championships. So…” Darby leaves, and the Bucks say they’ll just have to get his attention a different way. But hey, great show, Renee. Let’s kill it! Renee thanks Nicolas & Matthew, but just what will the EVPs do to force some respect around here?
Samoa Joe is here!
The AEW World Champion kept a close eye on Hangman Page last week, now he chooses to keep a close eye on his other potential challenger tonight. Will Joe like what he sees from The Realest?
Dealer’s Choice: Swerve Strickland VS ???
Hangman Page “appreciated” Swerve telling him who his opponent for tonight was early, but he chose to make Swerve wait through the whole f’n show. Will Swerve be ready for whoever this could be? Or will New Orleans soon be whose house? SWERVE’S HOUSE!
The fans fire up when they hear the music, because yes, it is ROB VAN DAM! Swerve doesn’t seem pleased, but Joe sure is, because this shows how important his reign as champion is to the world of wrestling! Only the very best are showing up to chase after his title! Hangman then speaks via the tron! He says Liona really was a good choice, because he came close, just not close enough. And Hangman is gonna go ahead and guess Swerve doesn’t know how to read, because these Dealer’s Choice matches had some fine print. Not only do they get to pick each other’s opponents, but they also get to pick the stipulations!
So now, not only is Swerve facing Rob Van Dam, but he is facing Rob Van Dam… IN A HARDCORE MATCH! Good luck. Swerve is even more upset than he was a minute ago!
Dealer’s Choice Hardcore Match: Swerve Strickland VS Rob Van Dam!
The bell rings, and RVD already has a chair! He CHUCKS it into Swerve’s face!! Fans fire up as Swerve falls out of the ring! Joe is loving it even more now! RVD goes out to fetch Swerve, and sends him into railing! RVD then whips Swerve into more railing, and Swerve tumbles around! RVD storms over, runs up, and LEG LARIATS Swerve against railing! Fans fire up, RVD has another chair and he puts that in the ring. RVD whips Swerve into railing again, then LEG LARIATS again! The fans fire up while Swerve wobbles, and RVD goes up the steps. The fans join in with “ROB! VAN! DAM!” and then RVD whips Swerve, into more railing!
Swerve tumbles up and over into the front row! The fans are thunderous while RVD goes looking for some things. Fans want tables, but Swerve tumbles back to ringside. RVD puts Swerve in the ring, on the apron, and then “ROB! VAN! DAM!” slingshots to GUILLOTINE LEG DROP! Swerve sputters and coughs but RVD follows him in. The fans chant “You Still Got It!” but Taz says RVD never lost it. RVD whips, Swerve hits ropes hard, and then he tumbles out. RVD drags Swerve over to SMACK off railing! RVD has fans move aside then he puts Swerve along railing for some fast hands. RVD then goes to the apron, for the FLYING GUILLOTINE LEG DROP!!
Fans are thunderous over that RVD classic, and even chant “E C DUB! E C DUB!” RVD rises up and the fans fire up while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
RVD brings Swerve around, puts him back in, but Swerve KICKS the ropes to jam RVD up! Swerve then turns RVD, DRAPING NECKBREAKER! Swerve drags RVD back out of the ring, fireman’s carries, and gives him SNAKE EYES off railing! Swerve snarls and then glares at Joe, before he runs in around the way, to go up the steps and FLYING HOUSE CALL!! Swerve scowls while RVD falls and the fans fire up again. Swerve goes looking under the ring, and he brings out a TABLE! Fans cheer that while Swerve brings it around to set it up. RVD hobbles over but Swerve kicks him first. Swerve then scoops RVD, but RVD slips fere!
RVD ROUNDHOUSES Swerve, and Swerve clutches that ear. RVD gets the fans to join in on another “ROB! VAN! DAM!” then he goes after Swerve in the ring. Swerve throws body shots, knees, and then bumps RVD off buckles. Swerve has a chair, he JAMS RVD low! Swerve wedges that chair into a corner, then stalks RVD. Swerve brings RVD up while Dynamite returns to single picture. Swerve wrenches then whips corner to corner, and RVD hits steel chair face first! Cover, TWO!! RVD survives and Joe is sure RVD still has this, but Swerve has a chair. “This is Awesome!” as Swerve puts the chair back in the corner.
Swerve goes back for RVD, and then he whips corner to corner again. RVD stops that to send Swerve in, and now Swerve hits chair face first! RVD runs to ROLLING THUNDER! Swerve sputters and the fans fire up again! RVD gets the other chair, and fans fire up as he runs in, SKATEBOARD DROPKICK!! Swerve writhes, RVD drag shim to a cover, TWO!! Swerve is still in this but RVD stalks after him. RVD runs in again to somersault, but Swerve stops the Monkey Flip! He turns this around, to POWERBOMB RVD on the chair!! Cover, TWO!?!? RVD survives again and Swerve grows frustrated.
Swerve drags RVD back up, suplexes, but RVD blocks! RVD suplexes but Swerve fights it! Swerve and RVD throw body shots, but RVD wrenches. Swerve spins through, slips around, but RVD switches.

Hangman’s Hardcore match let the door open to interference! The Machine saves Swerve, but HOOK rushes out here! Hook and Cage are on a collision course over the FTW Championship, so Hook SMACKS Cage with a chair! Fans fire up and Joe wants the “little savage” to get Cage!
Hook JAMS Cage, then SMACKS him again! Cage tumbles out of the ring, but Hook keeps after him! Cage kicks low, and he brings Hook around to brawl with him!

Both men are down but the fans fire up for RVD. RVD rises, he calls his shot, and runs, but Swerve somersaults to avoid Rolling Thunder! Somersault again, for the COMPLETE SHOT! Cover, TWO!! RVD stays alive and Swerve is furious!
Swerve drags RVD out and fans still want tables. Swerve gets one of the chairs first, RVD hobbles around, but Swerve pursues. Swerve throws hands, then goes up to the apron for a BOOT! RVD takes a seat, and Swerve lines up the shot, FLYING KILL STOMPS!! RVD falls out of the chair and he might’ve even clipped the steel steps! Joe wants medical personnel to get out here just in case, but Swerve drags RVD up. Swerve shows no mercy as he pushes RVD around, and RVD flounders into a drop zone. Swerve goes up, but RVD rises! CHAIR CHUCK! Swerve falls from the top, and falls through the table!! The fans lose their minds while Joe is loving this!
RVD manages to get outside and he drags Swerve back into the ring. RVD grabs another chair, places Swerve on top, and then adds the other chair! RVD makes Swerve into a sandwich, and he goes up top! FIVE STAR FROG FLOP as Swerve moves!! RVD flops right onto the chair!! Swerve hurries up to throw the chair, and FULL METAL HOUSE CALL!! Cover, TWO?!?! HOW?!?! Swerve doesn’t hesitate, he goes up top, but RVD anchors him! RVD climbs up and fires shots, but Swerve SMACKS RVD off the buckles! Swerve rises, RVD sits up, Swerve mocks the “Rob! Van! Dam!” but RVD flips him off! KILL STOMPS!!!! Cover, Swerve wins!!
Winner: Swerve Strickland, by pinfall
Hangman raised the ante on Swerve but Swerve did not fold! Swerve keeps pace with The Cowboy, but speaking of! The Cowboy makes his way right down to the ring! Swerve scowls and Joe is intrigued as Hangman has a mic. Swerve also gets a mic while Hangman says, “Congratulations, you evil bastard! Swerve, later tonight, the rankings for the AEW World Championship come out, and despite my efforts tonight, we are both undefeated, so I can only assume that we are at the top of that list. And you said that you wanted Samoa Joe, that you wanted the World Championship, that you needed it!
“Then I need you to look in my eyes, and I need you to know, that I will never let that happen!” Fans are torn there, but Hangman tells Swerve, “I am the next World Champion, not you.” Swerve laughs and says Hangman still doesn’t get it. He is still repeating himself over an dover! Swerve has beaten Hangman TWICE NOW! Swerve has nothing to prove! Not to Hangman, not to anyone else! Hangman is just upset with the fact that he just can’t beat Swerve. The fans are again torn. But as Swerve goes to leave, Hangman says Swerve keeps on saying that, and it’s probably because he thinks if he says it enough, it’ll be true.
The two times Swerve and Hangman fought, Swerve didn’t beat Hangman! It took Swerve’s entire Mogul Embassy to do it! Hangman knows that man to man, when it counts, Swerve can’t lace Hangman’s boots. Swerve says y’know what? Hangman must be a masochist or something. But Swerve will give Hangman what he wants! Swerve VS Hangman, one more time! Round three! And after that, they are DONE! After Swerve moves past Hangman, all he’s going for is the AEW World Championship.
Joe smiles as his top two contenders are ready to tear each other down, and Tony Khan already makes it official! Next week, Dynamite in Phoenix, it will be Swerve VS Hangman to determine THE #1 contender, the winner getting their shot at Samoa Joe on Sunday, March 3rd! Who wins the trilogy’s finale to head for Revolution?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite here, and they sure are building the Phoenix episode to be a big one. Really good sit-down interview promo from Sting, Darby, Starks & Bill ahead of their tag title match, and then good promo where The Bucks abuse their authority and make Renee ask and say what they want her to ask and say. This is definitely steering things to what I was thinking, the Bucks are totally going to abuse their authority again and get that tag title match for Revolution. A shame Starks & Bill get the short end of this story because they have to lose the titles, but if anything, it feeds into The Bucks’ gimmick of being Heel authority figures, and we might reset things to where Starks is a Face rallying against the forces against him.
Awesome opener from Moxley and Jeff Hardy, and they also did a good job getting the CMLL stars involved. That 8 Man is definitely going their way on Rampage, and maybe Hechicero beats Bryan, but there’s definitely more brewing so that the Blackpool Combat Club is gonna battle with the CMLL luchadores. Speaking of luchadores, really good match from Komander and Wardlow, and good win for Wardlow, I just hope that bad leg isn’t too bad. It’d be a shame if there was another injury hindering the overall Undisputed Kingdom. But good move of Best Friends chasing Undisputed Kingdom off and adding heat to Cassidy’s match with Roddy.
Really good stuff out of Jericho VS Fletcher, with the Callis Family of course doing all they can to cheat this win. But I should’ve figured Jericho would win so that he’d have momentum going into the match with Takeshita. Jericho beat Takeshita 1v1 at the DDP Pro show near the end of 2023 so Takeshita wants his win back, but I’m not so sure Takeshita gets that win back. He should, though, especially since the Callis Family beating Jericho down can prompt the return of Paul “The Giant” Wight and Revolution having JeriShow VS Hobbs & Takeshita so that Wight can avenge being put through a car windshield.
Really fun promo from Bang Bang Scissor Gang, though it was mostly just for them to have some fun with the catchphrases and hand signs and the cutouts. No real story stuff, maybe that happens on Collision or in Phoenix, because at some point, these guys need to make a move on the other titles they are after. Deonna had a good promo to explain her tattoo link with Storm, and Deonna VS Taya was a great match. Storm was amazing on commentary because she just kept working to break Taz, Excalibur and Schiavone, and I’m pretty sure she managed it multiple times. Deonna VS Storm is gonna be a lot of fun regardless of who wins, but I’m thinking it’s too soon for Deonna to win the title and for Storm to lose it.
And great stuff out of the Dealer’s Choice matches. Liona had his best match since joining AEW, maybe his best ever, but of course Hangman wins out. And I love that Hangman brought up a detail that was overlooked in this stipulation, and we got to have Swerve VS RVD in a Hardcore/No Holds Barred match. It was really the latter, cuz no one tried to cover on the outside, as Hardcore matches are supposed to be Falls Count Anywhere. But whatever, great win for Swerve, Joe was great on commentary, and now we’re getting an awesome #1 contender’s match for next week. There could be a clear cut winner, or they could really go the extra mile and have some kind of draw and make a Triple Threat for Revolution. Then that Triple Threat can be epic and go any which way they want.
My Score: 8.8/10

The ref checks Kyle, and BOTB goes back to picture in picture.
Okada shakes out the bad leg as he sits up, and he crawls over to Kyle. Okada drags Kyle by his leg and they go outside, for Okada to RAM Kyle into railing! The fans fire up, and Okada brings Kyle around to RAM him into the railing again. Okada paces, brings Kyle up again, and puts him in the ring. Okada stalks Kyle, brings him up, and bumps him off buckles again. Okada hobbles away, but then comes back to whip corner to corner. Kyle hits buckles hard again, and Okada runs up to ELBOW! The fans cheer and Okada looms over Kyle again. Okada scuffs Kyle, eggs him on, and Kyle rises up. Kyle swings, but into the MONEY CLIP!
Okada squeezes tight, Kyle flails, and Battle of the Belts goes to break!
BOTB returns and Okada SHOTGUNS Kyle down! The fans fire up while the ref checks both men. Okada and Kyle both stir, so a standing count starts. Kyle pushes himself up while Okada slowly sits up.

Dralistico says they will BURN! And then we see Mortos CHOKING Hologram!! The minotaur will not let it go that he lost the Best 2 Out of 3 Falls to Hologram at WrestleDream! Rush says remember: When you mess with the bull, you get the horns! LFI stands on Hologram and throw up the fists, who will be next to get those fists in their face?

Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Lexy Nair is with Roderick Strong, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett, but also Beast Mortos. They wanted to talk with him, but are mostly feeding him fried chicken… Roddy says, “BEEEAST! Thanks for joining us.” Bennett gives Mortos more meat to eat, and Roddy says they really need to talk. What is going on with Mortos? Something seems off. Mortos growls but Bennett says no, he’s just confused. Mortos taking out Hologram like that? Not cool. Taven can’t believe LFI got Mortos to wear a polo shirt! Mortos never even wore a shirt when hanging out with The Kingdom. Not cool! And what is Mortos doing fisting (with) two other dudes? Really not cool.
But the most disappointing thing of all, is that this is all happening without The Kingdom! Roddy says they’re not mad, just disappointed. The Kingdom leaves but did Mortos even care what they said while chowing down on meat? If they keep trying to get Mortos back, will LFI make The Kingdom one of their targets?
AEW Women’s World Championship Title Eliminator: Mariah May VS Anna Jay!
While there were some legitimate complaints made by the AEW Women’s World Champion, she doesn’t really help herself when she looks down on the rest of the roster. Will The Glamour continue to grow her ego here tonight? Or will Anna prove she’s the real Star of the Show?

Winner: Anna Jay, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the AEW Women’s World Champion)
Mariah is speechless! She thought Anna was unworthy, and yet that arrogance is why Anna won! And Tony Khan calls in to say we don’t have to wait long! Two weeks from now, Collision in Philadelphia, Mariah May VS Anna Jay, with the title on the line! Will Mariah avenge herself in the rematch? Or will there truly be a new Star of the Show?
My Thoughts:
A great Battle of the Belts, especially with the events of Collision spilling over. BCC beating down Top Flight, fighting Dark Order, and then having another match was all great stuff to really get heat on them. And speaking of the Collision crossover, great bit with Garcia & Private Party rushing out there, and then Cassidy eventually going out there once BCC was on the retreat. As we saw for Collision, the other Faces are expecting Cassidy to step up but he is reluctant to, given his history with the various members of BCC. At some point, The Conglomeration members might also think Cassidy should step up, and he’ll be compelled to fight.
Speaking of Conglomeration, great match from Okada VS O’Reilly, and I do appreciate them pushing this close to the time limit. Great win for Okada, and his card is wide open now, ready to face just about anyone. LFI had a very good promo to follow up what they did on Collision, but also to show Hologram is not out of the woods with them. Hologram might even be the third man alongside FTR to fight the full LFI. Mortos and Undisputed Kingdom also had a great promo together, very funny stuff. That’s also a Six Man Tag we could see, and just about any trio could come out of this to challenge BCC next.
Really good first showing for the #MurderMachines, Archer & Cage, but that combo Blackout Powerbomb needs some work to smooth out the wrinkles. I feel like they’ll be stepping to Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara for the ROH World Tag Team Championships first, given The Bucks are Heels. And great main event from Mariah VS Anna. I am very pleased to see they had Anna win here. It works for Mariah’s character as her arrogance cost her, and now we’ll get an even better title match in a couple weeks. I don’t see Anna winning that one, though, because again, we need to see Mina Shirakawa work her way to the title so she and Mariah can fight it out.
My Score: 8.7/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Jon Moxley speaks.
“Regarding the AEW World Championship, nothing has changed. Nothing is different. Nothing changed last Saturday night, nothing has changed since the moment I arrived in AEW. Nobody ‘owns’ that belt, it doesn’t belong to anybody. It’s not for Bryan Danielson or anybody else. It’s for the position that only man has sat in that chair. That is me. Somebody spent a lot of money on that belt and it’s really supposed to mean something. It’s just gold and leather, but when I look at it, it is the symbol of everything I hate in this sport. It’s the symbol of everything I’ve been fighting against for years. Everything that AEW was not supposed to be.
“If nobody else is going to say it, I’ll say it. Nothing comes for free in this world. But tonight, we give this Top Flight a gift. A shot at the World Trios Championships, won’t that be so great? They think they’re gonna hit a button, ride up an elevator to the top of this sport, that’s not how this works. There is no elevator. You are standing at the foot of a mountain, and the mountain looks like this.” Moxley points to Pac, Claudio and Yuta in turn. “We will win this war, cuz our cause is just, and our power is pure, and our enemies are weak in spirit. It’s a big night for you, Top Flight, but it is not your coronation. Tonight is a public execution.”
The Maniac paces, and the warning has been issued. Will Action, Darius & Dante still go through with the match?
Ricochet VS AR Fox!
The One & Only wants everyone to understand that to be The Best in the World, you don’t say it, you show it! So then will Ricochet show everyone in AEW and around the world that he IS the best? Or will he just be a guest star on the Whole Fox’n Show?
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two circle. They tie up, are in a deadlock, then break. Ricochet trips Fox, rolls him to whip him, but Fox reverses.

That match was definitely #OuttaThisWorld, and Ricochet comes out on top! Ricochet grabs a mic to say, “Stockton, what’s good?” Ricochet wants to say that he is here in AEW because this is where the BEST WRESTLE! The fans cheer that! Ricochet says he has yet to be pinned or submitted in this ring. And that’s funny, because there’s someone who keeps putting their nose in his business. The fans should know who. Konosuke Takeshita, it doesn’t matter where you go. You may be champion, but you can go to Canada, Mexico, Japan, or somewhere in the US. Wherever Takeshita goes, Ricochet will be waiting to kick his ass!
Ricochet says it doesn’t matter who has his back, from Don Callis to Kyle Fletcher, because Ricochet will knock down opponent after opponent until he gets Takeshita 1v1 in this ring to become the NEW International Champion! The fans rally behind Ricochet, and Ricochet knows they know. They know that Ricochet isn’t from this planet, he is Outta This World! The fans fire up, but when and where will The One & Only take on The Alpha?
Daniel Garcia & Private Party speak.
Red Death says Moxley and his crew wanna come in and take over AEW. Then they’ve got The Young Bucks & Jack Perry just sitting back, letting it happen. They act like it’s all okay. It’s not. And the thing is, The Elite isn’t willing to handle the responsibility it takes to truly handle those championships. But good news! He and Private Party will relieve them of their duties. Garcia says Zay to talk to ’em. Kassidy says the word isn’t complicit, it is complacent. The Bucks have become complacent cowards! Private Party will not sit back and watch BCC take over AEW. AEW changed Kassidy’s life!
Zay would rather die fighting than watch AEW go down in flames. And if Private Party has to lead by example by beating The Elite’s asses and become the NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions, then so be it! Marq Quen says there you have it. He can’t paint a better picture. And before they beat The Elite’s asses on Dynamite, there’s business to handle tonight. Stockton, the mission continues, let’s get it! Garcia, Quen & Zay are ready, but will the Premier Athletes stand in their way?
Kris Statlander VS Harley Cameron!
The Galaxy’s Greatest is now #BornAgainKristen, and she wants to return to what made her great in the first place. But will she keep her comeback going? Or will this wacky Aussie show one of her many talents is winning?
The bell rings, Kris and Harley circle, and then they step up. Harley calls for a knuckle lock, Kris accepts, and then Harley pokes Kris in the eyes! But Kris denies Sole Food!

DEADLIFT GERMAN! Harley flounders, Kris runs in at the corner, UPPERCUT! Kris goes side to side, KNEE! Kris reels Harley in, FISHERMAN DRIVER!! But then Kris lines up another shot, DISCUS LARIAT! That’s not the end, she scoops and tucks Harley, STATURDAY NIGHT FEVER! Cover, Kris wins!
Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall
Kris wins but she’s not done as she grabs the mic. “One thing about me is that I am never afraid to test myself and prove that I am THE toughest and THE strongest here in AEW.” The fans cheer that! Kris says one person has been a real pain in the ass. So Kamille, Kris is calling you out! Time Kamille finally met her match! And as for Mercedes Mone, Kris will make sure you have a front row seat. The Galaxy’s Greatest wants to take on The Brickhouse, but will she make it through that obstacle to then get at The CEO’s TBS Championship?
Six Man Tag: Daniel Garcia & Private Party VS The Premier Athletes!
We just heard from Red Death and friends and they are in a fighting mood. But of course we have to hear from “Smart” Mark Sterling… “Folks, the Premier Athletes have decided to take care of these three punk kids for all the disrespect that they’ve been showing our great EVPs, Matthew & Nicholas Jackson. And of course we’re doing this for an opportunity at what I do best, and that’s climb the corporate ladder!” Now the people here in Stockton are surely just smart enough to play along. When he says, “Athletes!” you say, “Rule!” Nothing else! Hands in. Ohhh~…! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Sterling isn’t that smart is he?
The trios sort out, Tony Nese starts against Isiah Kassidy, and they circle. They feel things out, but then Ariya Daivari gets in to CLOBBER Zay! The fans boo as Nese & Daivari stomp Zay. They bump him off buckles, Nese tags Daivari and they mug Zay. The ref counts, The Premier Athletes stop, and Daivari tags Nese back in. They stand Zay up for more mugging! The fans boo, the ref reprimands and counts, but Nese stops at 4. Nese then clamps onto Zay, brings him around, and whips him to the corner. Zay uses that to triangle jump STUNNER Woods! Nese waistlocks, Zay wrenches to knuckle lock and CHOP!
Daivari runs in, Zay dodges, then goes up and up to FLYING ARM-DRAG RANA COMBO! Zay runs up, Nese headlocks, but Quen tags in. Private Party play leapfrog to then DROPKICK! Daivari returns, atomic drop and DROPKICK! Woods runs up, they block his boot to KICK and NECKBREAKER! DOUBLE STMOPS added, and the fans fire up! Sterling says don’t touch him, he’ll sue! Quen leaves Sterling alone to tag Zay. Private Party double whip Nese, Quen sets up and Zay runs in, PARTY IN MOTION! They switch, Quen gives us AFTERPARTY IN MOTION! Zay paces, drags Nese up, then scoops to SLAM!
Zay goes to the corner, climbs up, and the fans rally up. But wait, Stokely Hathaway is here? Zay says stay back, but Nese trips him up!

Jake “The Snake” Roberts speaks.
“What are we going to do next? That should be the question in your mind. When Jake Roberts tells you something, you know you can take it to heart. Trust me when It ell you, you cannot outrun the bull. Outrunners, you can run but you cannot hide. Rules and bones were meant to be broken. That’s the reason they made them. Trust me. We’re just here to tear the hell outta everything. That’s what you gotta think about when you step into the ring with us.” When you mess with the bull, you get the horns, so will Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd be gored through by La Faccion Ingobernable?
Orange Cassidy VS Bulk Bronson w/ The Iron Savages!
Mark Briscoe is facing Chris Jericho in a Ladder War on Dynamite, and Kyle O’Reilly is facing Kazuchika Okada later tonight on Battle of the Belts. Will Freshly Squeezed earn himself a golden opportunity? Wait, Jacked Jameson tells all the “fat morons and skinny idiots” to shut up. He is the Shredded Savage, and these monsters are Bulk Bronson & Beefcake Boulder! But hold up. What he sees in the ring is a member of The Conglomeration, a team featured on every show this company has. Meanwhile, Iron Savages must have been renamed The Melatonin Savages, because they keep getting slept on!
So tonight, the flavor of the Savage Sauce is going to be Orange Crush, because Bronson is gonna crush Orange! They are sippin’ sauce, livin’ hoss, and taking all the Low T meat-riders to #TIDDYCITY! Cassidy just sighs, and Jameson keeps talking trash that Bronson’s gonna kill ’em! The bell does ring, Cassidy dodges Bronson, and hits an ORANGE PUNCH on Jameson!

All that trash talk and what’d it get Jameson? Bronson got beat like he wasn’t even there! Cassidy has win number 175, if you can believe it. Will he finally make it to that world championship level before he hits 200?
Jamie Hayter VS Brooke Havok!
An Open Challenge was put out last night on Rampage, though it was directed mostly at Mrs. Superbad, Penelope Ford. Surprise, surprise, Penelope chose not to answer it. Instead, Brooke is looking to wreak havoc in Stockton, will she bring down a former AEW Women’s World Champion? Or will she learn that Hayter Hits Hard?
The bell rings, the fans rally up, and the two fist bump to show there’s respect. they tie up, Hayter waistlocks and SLAMS Havok. Havok fights up, fires elbows, then runs, but gets run over! Hayter dusts herself off, keeps moving, but Havok drops. Hayter avoids the dropkick, then shrugs. The fans fire up, and Hayter stomps Havok right on the butt.

Cover, Hayter wins!
Winner: Jamie Hayter, by pinfall
It was probably over with that Haytbreaker on overdrive, but Hayter punctuates the victory. Wait, Penelope is on the tron. “Oh, hey, Jamie, are you really confused why I attacked you? I’ll tell you why. Because unlike you, most of us have to work for our opportunities. Do you even know who my partner was in my last TV match? You! And you wanna talk about backstabbing b*tches? Well you’re the backstabbing b*tch! I was out for two years, do you know what that does to someone’s mind? And not once did you even check in on me. Meanwhile, you were gone for a year and you come back to a damn parade at Wembley Stadium.”
Penelope says too many have forgotten who she is, especially Hayter. But Penelope is back, and she’ll make sure what two years of pain and anger really looks like. Penelope is here to take everting that Hayter cares about. And she won’t let anyone forget who Penelope Ford is again. Hayter says okay, fine! But will Hayter make sure Penelope regrets calling her out?
Backstage interview with Daniel Garcia & Private Party.
Lexy Nair is with the winning side tonight and says that was a phenomenal win. Say that again, say that again! What a PHENOMENAL win! Yes, that’s good! Wait, Cassidy steps in. Garcia says he’s been hoping to talk with him. Cassidy sees what it is like out there, yeah? It isn’t about being a hero, it isn’t about being tough guys. It is about holding each other accountable. They are coming to Cassidy because he’s been there before, he beat all these guys before, and it’s time to step up. Cassidy says yeah, he’s been there before. And every time he steps into the ring with one of those guys, it changes him.
Cassidy says he is no leader. He’s just not that guy. Freshly Squeezed heads out, Garcia is disappointed. But will things change when push comes to shove?
Kyle Fletcher w/ Don Callis VS Atlantis Jr!
The last time these two met, it was June of this year when The Protostar defended the ROH World Television Championship against the CMLL second generation star. Atlantis won it then, but then he lost it recently to Brian Cage. This rematch is therefore not about gold but about pride. Will The Aussie Arrow strike Atlantis down this time? Or will history repeat itself from the CMLL anniversary show?

Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa.
Lexy is with La Mera Mera and says she hasn’t been in AEW since August. She got hurt, then showed up in England. When will she come back? Rosa says unfortunately, she suffered a concussion, but she has been cleared. While out of action, she went home to Mexico for International Girls’ Day, then she went to London this past weekend to win a championship. Then the Mexican Embassy honored her and- Harley says this is an injustice! NO justice! It is HER time! Hey, she is having a moment! This has been unruly and unfair and- Rosa says this is unfair! Then she DECKS Harley! Harley says Rosa will be the next to feel her wrath!
Harley writhes, but when she gets back up, will she and Rosa have quite the Collision in the ring?
The Outrunners VS La Faccion Ingobernable!
Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd have risen to new heights, in part thanks to working out with FTR. But will the Youngest Men Alive keep rising up the ranks? Or will El Toro Blanco y The Beast Mortos stampede right through them towards the top spot in AEW?

Sammy Guevara speaks.
“I’ve been here for the past five years. I take a lot of pride in being called an AEW Original. Because of this place, my life changed for the better. So the best way I know how to repay AEW is to make sure every single time I get in that ring, I give you a moment you’ve never seen before. For me, it’s always the same. But the way I get there needs to be different. The way I realize my destiny is by going against the best. And one of the best just had a hell of a debut on Dynamite. He’s a man I watched since I was a kid, so I went to Tony Khan personally and I asked for this match.
This Wednesday, for the first-time ever, live on Dynamite, it’ll be Sammy Guevara VS Shelton Benjamin! Get ready for another moment.” The Spanish God is on his way back, but will he be ready for the Standard of Excellence?
AEW World Trios Championships: Blackpool Combat Club VS Top Flight!
This main event is going to be a Collision for sure! Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta & Pac did their best to beat a lot of different teams into submission on Wednesday, but it only stoked the flames of rebellion. Will the Swiss Superman, Decoder & Bastard just have to break their opponents in mind and body? Or will Action, Darius & Dante finally add some gold to their luggage?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who really runs things around here!
The trios sort out and Pac starts against Action. They circle, feel things out, then tie up. Pac waistlocks and SLAMS Action, then floats to a facelock.

He tells Dante to go, and Dante DIVES, but Claudio catches him! And POSTS him! Top Flight is in trouble while Collision goes picture in picture.

They join their team in the ring as the beating continues. Moxley whispers to Pac, and Pac drags Action up. Moxley looks Action in the eyes, and then DECKS him! Claudio continues to hammer away on Darius, but here comes Lio Rush! He gets mugged, but Leila Grey asks they stop. Marina ROUNDHOUSES Leila! Marina TOSSES Leila up, and Collision ends with more mayhem! Who will ever stop the reign of terror that Moxley has started?
My Thoughts:
A really good Collision, with the only real filler being The House of Black winning their squash match. Great match from Ricochet VS Fox with a great win from Ricochet, and a pretty good promo for him to call out Takeshita. If they want to sell what he said, Ricochet should go to the same other promotions Takeshita visits. Like if Takeshita goes back home to Japan and DDT Pro, have Ricochet go after him after a match. And as far as having a match, this should culminate at Full Gear to really stretch out Takeshita trying to avoid Ricochet until he just can’t. Kyle VS Atlantis was also a great match, and great win for Kyle. Kyle saying he’ll tell all on Wednesday is of course going to set up Kyle VS Ospreay, perhaps also for Full Gear.
Very good match from Kris VS Harley, which Kris of course wins. Kris calling out Kamille is great, and a little annoyed they’re making us wait for Fright Night when Kris VS Kamille could just happen next week to give us Kris VS Mone at Fright Night instead. But whatever, this is the usual Tony Khan Women’s Division pacing, because surely Kris VS Mone is what he wants for Full Gear. That does make sense, because for one, Mone as a character would want the big money moment on a PPV, not on TV. And regardless of where/when it happens, it is hard to say that even Face Statlander beats Mone for the TBS Championship.
Harley also had a good moment with Thunder Rosa. Rosa knocking Harley on her ass was great, and Rosa VS Harley will be fun stuff. It can definitely help Rosa get back up and into title conversations, and she should be going for Mone and the TBS title because chasing that history of “first woman to hold both AEW belts” is some good stuff. Meanwhile, Hayter demolished Havok, and she’ll have really good stuff with Penelope Ford, and on a personal level, I do feel for Penelope missing two YEARS of action. Penelope probably wins a match from cheating, but then loses to Hayter in the rematch so that Hayter can go back for a championship.
Great match from LFI VS Outrunners, but the cheating spots LFI pulled off were a bit clunky. LFI of course wins to spark more interaction with FTR, and LFI VS FTR will be great stuff whenever they do it. And then great stuff in this larger story of “Who runs AEW?” Garcia & Private Party had a great promo to call out The Elite, they had a really good match with The Premier Athletes and therefore a really good win over them. Cassidy squashing Bronson while also knocking down Jameson was good stuff. Then Garcia asking Cassidy to take a stand against BCC was good stuff. Cassidy has good reason for wanting to avoid BCC, but Cassidy’s role in this story is now making that random promo with Jerry Lynn work out.
And then speaking of the BCC, very good promo from Moxley to open, and great main event with Top Flight. BCC of course won, but the beatdown that bleeds over into Battle of the Belts is actually pretty good stuff. BCC are just agents of violence and chaos, and they booked the third hour, so might as well segue from one show right into the next.
My Score: 8.8/10
