PLAY BY PLAY

Jimmy Uso & Solo Sikoa wait.

Jimmy says it’s getting chilly, but then Roman Reigns walks in with Paul Heyman. Jimmy says what’s up! How was his flight? Roman tells The Wise Man to say what he said. Heyman says Roman said to “fix it.” Right. And is it fixed? No, it’s not. So now he has to be here to make everything right again. Roman leads the way, and Jimmy is frustrated. But Solo says he’ll fix it. He’ll fix everything. The Enforcer does have a match against Randy Orton tonight, will he turn the Fatal 4 Way into a Triple Threat with a Samoan Spike?

 

Nick Aldis is in the ring.

And the SmackDown General Manager welcomes us to Atlanta, Georgia and the official contract signing for the Royal Rumble’s Universal Heavyweight Championship match. At this time, and without further ado, he introduces The Phenomenal AJ Styles! Fans fire up as Georgia’s own makes his way out, he high-fives a few fans, then heads into the ring. Styles wastes no time and he signs his part right away! Fans cheer that, and Aldis then brings out the Mega Star, LA Knight! “YEAH!” Styles is annoyed as the fans fire up just as much for Knight. Knight makes his way right into the ring, and he also signs right on the line.

Fans fire up again because they know up next is The Viper, Randy Orton! The Apex Predator is just as fired up to be back in Atlanta, and he also high-fives some fans on his way to the ring. Orton does just as the others have and signs the contract right away. And that of course leaves the Undisputed WWE Universal Heavyweight Champion himself, Roman Reigns. The music hits, and fans boo as The Wise Man walks out instead. Paul Heyman gives his introduction as always, and he says in case Aldis isn’t watching his own show, YOUR Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns, and Heyman have only just arrived. They haven’t had a chance to submit this contract to an attorney, or even for Heyman to see it himself.

“So therefore, unfortunately, Roman… Reigns… will not sign that contract this evening.” Fans boo but the contenders all figured this is how it’d go. Aldis picks up his mic again to say, “Just so we’re clear, Roman Reigns isn’t signing this contract? Paul, that’s absolutely fine.” Heyman says good and turns to leave, but Aldis says he has three signatures and can make this a Triple Threat for a vacant Undisputed WWE Universal Heavyweight Championship. That gets Heyman to turn right back around and storm right up to the ring! Heyman tells Aldis, “I don’t know if you realize this, but Mr. Aldis, I care deeply about you sir.”

Fans boo, not falling for that. But Heyman says he does. He halfway respects and admires the mediocre job Aldis has done as the SmackDown GM. And the fact that Aldis does such a mediocre job like everyone else, he at least looks really good. Especially in these Heyman-wannabe suits he has. But no matter how good Aldis looks, there’s no way he can sell this to the Board of Directors or to the “fine, upstanding people” of Atlanta. And no way he can sell it to his Tribal Chief, who does call the shots, because Roman should be defending his title in a 1v1 match! Heyman doesn’t care-

LA Knight tells Heyman, “Will you shut the hell up?! You’re right about one thing, this should be a one-on-one match. I had Roman Reigns’ shoulders pinned at Crown Jewel, and his cross-eyed, halfwit cousins saved him.” Fans cheer that! But Knight says Heyman says one more thing, Knight will cut bacon off his back. Fans cheer that, too! Knight says this should be his rematch, but some Johnny Come Latelys show up in AJ Styles and Randy Orton. Suddenly, they jump to the front of the line to get in the match that should be Knight’s after having a few months off! Styles repeats, “A few months off?” Knight says, “YEAH!”

Styles says maybe Knight doesn’t get it, but The Bloodline tried to end Styles’ career, then Knight steps over his dead body to get that title match, “And you lost.” So Knight is lucky to even be in this match. Knight says Styles is talking about the wrong guy. If there’s anyone with a horseshoe planted firmly up their keister, it’s Styles! Knight puts it like this: Styles should really watch the bass in his voice when talking to Knight, and turn that attention to Roman. Oh, good, the genius understands this isn’t just them against Roman, it’s them against each other. Well, thanks for explaining it then, Styles!

Because here’s how it works: Knight walks in, he pins Roman, and he becomes WWE Champion. If he has to walk over Styles’ dead body again, he’ll do it! And the difference will be it won’t be the Bloodline that lays him out, it’ll be the man that has everybody saying, “L! A! KNIGHT! YEAH!!” Knight goes to leave but Styles DECKS him instead! Styles storms out after Knight, Knight hits back, and those two brawl up the ramp! Aldis tries to stop this but he’s not enough so refs and producers rush out! Fans fire up, the two are separated, but then Styles gets back in there! Heyman is amused as these two fight all the way to the back.

But then Orton pulls on Heyman’s tie to make him turn around! Orton sees what Heyman is trying to do and it isn’t gonna work on Orton, and here’s why. Because later tonight, Orton will drop Solo, beat him right in this ring 1-2-3, and then after that, he will reintroduce Roman Reigns to the three most dangerous letters in all of sports entertainment: R K O. Fans fire up for that one! Will The Legend Killer bring down the Phenomenal, The Mega Star and the Head of the Table in one match to prove he is the greatest?

 

Logan Paul arrives backstage.

The Maverick United States Champion is here, ready to be on The Kevin Owens Show. But how will he handle being on the other side of the interview tonight?

 

Aldis storms his way towards Roman’s suite.

But Styles cuts him off first, and demands a match with LA Knight, tonight! Aldis says fine, he’s got it. Styles heads out, and Aldis has the contract in hand. Aldis is going to deliver that personally to Roman, will Roman agree to the terms?

 

Six Man Tag: The LWO VS Santos Escobar, Angel Garza & Humberto Carrillo!

Carlito once again joins Cruz Del Toro & Joaquin Wilde in action after their surprise reunion on NXT last week. And they’re looking to not just surprise but upset the new Legado Del Fantasma! Which side of this blood feud will be tranquilo after tonight?

SmackDown returns as the new Legado makes their entrance. The teams sort out and Carlito starts, calling Santos out, but then all of Legado bails out. Santos taunts Carlito, and that distracts him from seeing Angel slide in and CHOP BLOCK! Fans boo but Angel taunts Carlito now. Angel whips, Carlito reverses and ELBOWS Angel down! Carlito drags Angel up, tags Cruz and they mug Angel. But Angel stomps a foot, fires hands, but Cruz hits back. Cruz ROCKS and whips, but Angel reverses, only for Cruz to KICK back! Angel CHOPS, whips, but Cruz goes up and out to then springboard in and FLYING RANA!

Fans fire up with Cruz and he brings Angel over. Tag to Wilde, they double whip to DOUBLE ELBOW! Then the coordinate, HANDSPRING HIP TOSS SPLASH! Cover, TWO! Wilde throws hands, whips, but Angel reverses. Wilde CHOPS Angel, dodges Humberto, then knuckle locks Angel. Humberto runs in, Wilde dodges, then goes up and up and FLYING ARM-DRAG MISSILE DRPOKICK COMBO! Santos runs in but Wilde dumps him out! Fans fire up as LWO coordinates, Cruz & Wilde build speed, Carlito holds the rope down so they can both FLY out! Direct hits on Angel & Humberto, and Santos is stunned as SmackDown goes to break!

SmackDown returns again and Angel has Wilde. Fans rally up but Santos tags in, and then he tags Humberto. Angel brings Wilde up into a Gory Especial, Humberto aims, SLINGSHOT CUTTER GORY BOMB COMBO! Angel sets Wilde up for Santos to basement dropkick! Humberto covers, but Carlito breaks it! Fans cheer, Carlito goes back to the corner, but Humberto drags Wilde up. Humberto CHOPS Wilde down, tags Angel, and then Angel tags Santos. The cousins mug Wilde, then hoist him up, to ELEVATED ATOMIC DROP onto Santos’ knee! Cover, TWO! Santos grabs Wilde’s arm, steps over, and mule kicks him!

Santos taunts Carlito, then hits Wilde with a BIG back suplex! Cover, TWO! Santos continues to taunt Carlito as he drags Wilde away, and he tags Humberto. Humberto tags Angel, and they both stomp away on Wilde. The fans rally but Santos tells them all to shut up. Angel runs to basement dropkick Wilde down! Angel smothers Wilde, throws crossface forearms, and talks trash all the while. Tag to Humberto and he PENALTY KICKS Wilde down! Humberto clamps on a chinlock and he grinds Wilde down. The fans rally, Wilde JAWBREAKERS free, then runs to tilt-o-whirl SATELLITE DDT!! Fans fire up but Angel hurries to YANK Carlito down!

Angel YANKS Cruz down, too, then taunts the fans! Humberto back suplexes, Wilde lands out, then ducks ‘n’ dodges to hot tag Carlito! Fans fire up as Caribbean Cool rallies on Legado! Kick and KNEE LIFT for Humberto, then a LARIAT! Santos runs away! Angel runs in but into a DROPKICK! Humberto is up, but he’s sent into Angel, then Carlito hits a SPINEBUSTER! Cover, Santos breaks it! Carlito glares at Santos and Santos wants mercy, but Carlito still blocks the cheap shot kick! But then Humberto springboards, FLYING CHUCK! Cover, Cruz DIVING HEADBUTTS in!

Winners: Legado Del Fantasma, by pinfall

Santos says that’s how it’s done! He laughs as he steals this win, Angel says this is real familia! Will the LWO continue to be denied retribution?

 

Backstage interview with Pretty Deadly.

Kayla Braxton is with the #YesBoys as they prepare for a rematch with Tyler Bate & “Butch.” Do they feel better prepared for British Strong Style than they were at New Year’s Revolution? Elton Prince says that is an astute question, because yes, they are! This time, there will be no surprises, no mystery partners not part of the roster, none of that! Kit Wilson says they’ve spent this past week studying Tyler & Butch! These two aren’t just pretty boys, they’re pretty SMART boys! So they are incredibly prepared for Bate & Butch! YES BOY~! These two head out, will they look to make this Friday Night SnackDown after all?

 

Bobby Lashley & The Street Profits speak.

The All Mighty says, “You thought your little intimidation tactics were gonna work? Well, congratulations, you have our attention.” Montez Ford says this isn’t the smoke they want. Because they aren’t the ones. Ford will remind them that he and Angelo Dawkins are the Tag Team Triple Crown that always puts it down, and they have Bobby the All Mighty himself. Dawkins says to not let the nice suits fool you. They are the real monsters here. Final Testament is a revelation, but they’re businessmen. If you wanted a fight, all you to do was ask. Lashley says to name the time and the place. They’ve been hunting Kross’ crew for weeks, so when they find ’em, they’ll show them what real intimidation looks like.

 

Tyler Bate & “Butch” Pete Dunne VS Pretty Deadly!

SmackDown returns and Pretty Deadly finish enjoying their disco ball and slow-motion. Then the Big Strong Boy makes his entrance, followed by The Bruiserweight, who has done away with “Butch!” Pretty Deadly is confused, they think this is someone else, but no! This is the REAL brawler that’s been inside Dunne all along! What Bate said got through to him, will Dunne show everyone just who the hell he is?

The teams sort out, Bate and Kit start, and they tie up. Kit wrenches, Bate rolls, rolls and hooks free to wrench and headlock. Bate smacks Kit with his foot, then brings Kit over. Dunne tags in as Atlanta rallies for “Bruiserweight! Bruiserweight!” Bate whips, ducks and hurdles, then Dunne runs in to CLOBBER Kit! Dunne grabs Kit’s hand, wrenches and isolates the arm, to STOMP it! Fans cheer as Dunne grabs the other arm, and bends the fingers! Kit endures as Dunne tortures his hand, then pulls way back!! Kit gets the ROPEBREAK, Dunne lets go to STOMP the leg! Kit writhes, Dunne tags Bate.

Bate goes up and he KNEE-BOARDS off Dunne to senton! Then the AIRPLANE SPIN! Elton runs in, can’t get close, though, then gets SMACKED by Kit’s boots! Bate SLAMS Kit down, wobbles around, but Kit flounders away. Pretty Deadly regroups but fans fire up for British Strong Style as SmackDown goes to break.

SmackDown returns again and Elton has Bate in a top wristlock. Fans rally, Bate fights up, and Bate fires off hands. But Elton throws Bate down! Tag to Kit but Bate ROCKS him! Bate slides under Elton but Elton grabs a leg. Kit gets in as Elton whips Bate to the corner. Elton RAMS and Kit UPPERCUTS Bate! Elton then fireman’s carries, ASSISTED GUTBUSTER with Kit! Cover, TWO! Kit hurries to headlock and he grinds Bate down. Fans rally, Bate fights up, and Bate throws body shots.

Kit hits a back suplex but Bate lands out of it! ELBOW for Elton, BOOT for Kit, but then Kit runs back in! Bate catches him, for an EXPLODER! The fans fire up, Bate crawls, hot tags to Elton and Dunne! Dunne ENZIGURIS Elton, dodges and SNAP GERMANS Kit, then STOMPS Kit’s hands! And STOMPS them again! BUZZSAW!

Then for Elton, TOP BIN! Bate PLANCHAS onto Kit! Dunne SNAPS Elton’s fingers! Then the pump handle, BITTER END! Cover, British Strong Style wins!

Winners: Tyler Bate & Pete Dunne, by pinfall

Dunne then just shrugs. The Bruiserweight is certainly feeling like himself again, will he and his best mate, Bate, head right for those Undisputed Tag Team Championships?

 

Pretty Deadly regroups backstage.

They’re of course complaining about what just happened, and then Kayla finds them. She brings up how they said they were prepared, so what happened out there? Kit says they were NOT ready, okay? Elton says they prepared for Butch, but then Bate brings in this brand new person they’ve never seen before! Who is Pete Dunne?! They rant away, but is anyone gonna break it to them that Dunne was Butch?

 

Kevin Owens heads to the ring!

The fans cheer as the Prizefighter is here to host his talk show, reluctantly having Logan Paul as his guest. The #1 contender will get to confront- er, interview the champion, what happens this close to their US Championship match? We find out, after the break.

SmackDown returns and Kevin has his show set-up at the ready. He thanks Atlanta for the cheers, and especially appreciates it because he is about to say something he never thought he’d say. “Please welcome my guest on The Kevin Owens Show, Logan Paul!” Fans boo as The Maverick makes his entrance. Logan waves to the fans as he goes to the ring, gets himself a mic, and steps in to be face to face with Kevin. Kevin starts but Logan interrupts by “thanking” Kevin for the invite. Logan would say he’s honored, but he’s not. Why would he be honored “to come on this bottom of the barrel, janky excuse for a show?”

Fans boo but Logan says those are cool graphics, but it’s his show now. And Logan is actually glad Kevin invited him, because Logan owes a proper thanks. Kevin is the reason Logan is in the WWE. Kevin echoes the fans with, “What?” If Logan is blaming Kevin for this, explain. Right, okay, Logan has a clip. Roll it! 2021, WrestleMania 37 in Tampa Bay? After Kevin VS Sami, Logan offered a handshake, and Kevin gave him a STUNNER! Back to present, Logan says three years ago, he went to his first WrestleMania, and Kevin embarrassed him in front of 70 THOUSAND! The fans cheer and Logan says it was just like that! Kevin hit a Stunner and everyone cheered!

Logan is heated just like he was then. That was when Logan realized he had to prove to everyone that he belongs here. Fans chant “One More Time!” for the Stunner. Logan says no, direct it at Kevin! Kevin’s why Logan chose to become a WWE Superstar! Kevin sighs, and says he has to be honest. Obviously that happened, but Kevin barely remembers doing that. Because to Logan, it was traumatic. But yeah, his first Mania, he was a guest, WWE rolled out a red carpet. Kevin’s been doing this almost 25 years, Logan is just one of many that Kevin’s Stunned. And especially going into that Mania, Kevin figured it was just another celebrity the WWE was bringing in cuz that’s what WWE does.

But turns out, Logan wasn’t just another celebrity. He stuck around! Kevin gives credit where credit is due, and Logan put in the work. Logan became way better at this than anyone would’ve thought. Logan grins and says, “Yes, I did.” Kevin says yeah, but as good as Logan is, he is still NOT one of them! Not a Rey Mysterio, a Seth Rollins, a Sami Zayn, or Kevin Owens! Logan laughs and says “THANK GOD!” Logan is happy to not be “one of y’all,” he’s one of one. Logan is a purveyor of viral media, the greatest storyteller of a generation, your son’s favorite star, your girlfriend’s social media crush, the marketing genius, disruptor, innovator, wrestler, boxer, the list goes on and on!

Often imitated, never duplicated, billionaire with a B! The Maverick, Logan Paul! And Kevin… Well, he’s just Kevin Owens. Kevin says he doesn’t know what any of that stuff is supposed to mean. The fans chant “Logan Sucks!” Kevin has heard everything Logan’s had to say on commentary, the putdowns about his weight, his look, everything. But here’s the thing. Logan can say anything he wants about Kevin, fine. But Kevin can’t come out here and say everything he wants to say about Logan. In fact, there’s a lot he can’t talk about. And Logan knows why, too. It’s the same reason Logan is the US Champion: he is protected, sheltered.

The second he came here to the WWE, Logan was offered all the tools he could ever need to hopefully win a title. And Kevin gets it, it is the notoriety and attention Logan brings. And to his credit, he used those tools, did become champion, and can say for the rest of his life, “I’m a WWE United States Champion.” Great for you, Logan. But as far as Kevin and the fans are concerned, this is a JOKE! A joke that’s gone on for far too long, and Kevin is putting an end to the joke at The Royal Rumble! The fans fire up but Logan yawns, claiming he didn’t hear any of that. But he did hear the part about “protected.”

There is such hypocrisy here, because just look at Kevin’s arm. Kevin’s arm is protected, he has a weapon on his hand! The only reason Kevin knocked Logan down is because of the cast! But Logan knocks people out clean! All those guys Kevin mentioned? Logan’s knocked them out! One by one, dominos A, B, C, D! So like Logan said, it will only take him one second to KO KO, ok? Kevin says as unimpressive as Logan thinks Kevin is, Kevin says the people that have been watching the last 10 years all know that Kevin could take more punishment than anyone and get back up! He has been slammed harder, punched better, and fallen off higher stuff than anyone!

So there isn’t a punch Logan can throw that will keep Kevin down for three seconds, let alone knock him out. And as far as the cast, weapon, protection, fine. Logan bringing up a lawsuit about this thing on, fine. Kevin gives Logan his word that he won’t have this on at The Royal Rumble. In fact, he’ll take it off right now if it helps Logan feel better. Kevin takes the cast off, and Logan SUCKER PUNCHES him!! Fans boo as Logan gloats, but Kevin proves himself right by getting back up!! Logan turns around and has seen a ghost! Kevin asks if that was all! Logan runs in, Kevin TACKLES him! Kevin fires off fists, Logan gets away, but Kevin pursues!

Logan POSTS Kevin, then SMACKS Kevin’s bad hand off the post!! Logan taunts Kevin, grabs his belt, and holds it up as he stands over Kevin. Logan dares Kevin to try again at the Rumble, but will Kevin #JustKeepFighting until he’s broken Logan Paul?

 

The Bloodline talks in their suite.

Roman keeps harping on the whole “fix it” order. He gets to his bus and what does he see on the TV? A Viper on Heyman’s neck! And this is what Roman was talking about. We’ve only got one Wise Man, but we’ve got two of these two! Roman tells Jimmy that he’s given opportunity after opportunity, Jimmy plays around, acts like he’s the back up QB, hot route, YEET and NO YEET! But then Solo steps forward? Solo says that was on him. He is the Tribal Heir for a reason, so tonight, Solo will show Roman that he will fix it. Solo heads out, Jimmy follows, and Roman seems at a loss for words. Is the Enforcer going to do what even The Tribal Chief can’t?

 

WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships: Kayden Carter & Katana Chance VS Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn!

The life of the party comes to SmackDown and they’re bringing the gold! But will they be leaving with the gold, too? Or will they regret taking on the “Unholy Union?”

SmackDown returns and not only has Bayley joined commentary, but all of Damage CTRL is ringside. Bayley says it’s so much fun being out here without Michael Cole. Fyre & Dawn then make their entrance, finally back in action after returning during the Holiday Havoc to go after DMG CTRL. The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see if something wicked this way wins!

The teams sort out, but Fyr e& Dawn attack! Katana is sent out, Fyre hits a GOURD BUSTER on Kayden! Dawn PENALTY KICKS, Fyre covers, TWO! Fyre whips Kayden hard into the corner, tags in Dawn, but Kayden fires shots! Dawn waistlocks, Fyre SUPERKICKS Kayden into the SAIDO! Cover, TWO! Bayley says do better than that, idiots! Dawn ROCKS Kayden, scoops her, but Kayden slips free. Kaydena voids Fyre & Dawn, hot tag to Katana! Katana trips Dawn, BLASTS Fyre, then FACEBUSTERS Dawn! Katana dodges again, tilt-o-whirls and RANAS! Dawn tumbles, fans fire up with Katana and she runs in to A-LIST LARIAT!

Kayden tags, she and Katana hoist Dawn up but Dawn fights back. Fyre runs in to throw Katana down but Kayden SUPERKICKS her! Kayden helps Katana get up, SUPER STEINER sends Dawn onto Fyre! Cover, Fyre breaks it! Katana storms up on Fyre but Fyre JAWBREAKERS! Kayden TOSSES Fyre but Dawn throws Kayden by her hair! Dawn drags Kayden over, tags in Fyre, and they hook Kayden up. But Kayden BOOTS Dawn away, flips up and over Fyre, then reels her in to waistlock. O’Conner, TWO, and Dawn UPPERCUTS! Fyre rolls Kayden up, TWO!! Kayden escapes and Fyre is furious!

Bayley says they’re taking notes on DMG CTRL. Katana CROSSBODIES Dawn! Kayden shoves Fyre away, runs up, and rebounds off ropes to DESTROYER! Hot tag to Katana and she goes up. Handstand, KEG STAND SPLASH!! Cover, Kayden & Katana win!

Winners: Kayden Carter & Katana Chance, by pinfall (still WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions)

KC Squared survives, but wait! The Kabuki Warriors have the belts! They dance around to taunt the champs, but Kayden asks fi they’re done. The ref has the Kabuki Warriors hand the belts over, and they oblige. The champs say anytime, anywhere, but will they not be ready for Kairi & Asuka?

 

The OC talks backstage.

Mia Yim & The Good Brothers are concerned about AJ Styles’ attitude change. Styles walks over, Gallows has him hold on, and he tells Styles that no matter what, they’ve still got Styles’ back. Styles doesn’t say a word as he walks away, does he not have theirs?

 

The Final Testament speaks.

Karrion Kross says, “We know exactly who Bobby & The Profits really are. You guys sit where you’re told to sit, stand where you’re told to stand. You are the yes men of this company. I mean, you guys are the new face of this place, at some point, right? Isn’t that the plan?” But Kross says the reason his group hasn’t gotten opportunities like Lashley & The Profits is because they are the disruptors. They are uncivilized and savage. It makes people nervous. So they aren’t here to play Lashley’s game. They’ve got a game of their own. Next week, they’ll see Lashley & The Profits in the ring. And then, the whole world will truly see who the real All Mighty is.

The final image on the screen is “Pride goes before destruction.” But for who will that quote hold true?

 

Backstage interview with Carmelo Hayes.

Cathy Kelley notes last week, there was the scary situation in his match with Austin Theory. Can Melo tell us what happened? Melo says in the heat of battle, things like this can happen. Melo and Theory have each been there before, and luckily, both men walked away from it. But what Melo wants to focus on is that even though he didn’t win, he didn’t lose. Cuz it doesn’t matter, Melo is gonna ball out, because that is who he is, and he is… HIM! Theory & Waller storm in and Theory says this is insane! Melo tried to end Theory’s career! And what, is he getting rewarded? Melo’s getting an interview on Theory’s show, in Theory’s town? Do you know who he is?!

Melo says okay, then what about they run it back next week, outside Theory’s city when they’re in Miami? Oh, next week, huh? As in next Friday? Sorry, Theory is busy. But Waller says no he doesn’t! Theory would love to have a rematch! Theory is upset but Melo says he’ll talk with Aldis to make that official. Waller says fine! See you in Miami, mate! Theory tells Waller to stop doing that and Waller doesn’t understand why he’s upset. But will Theory be able to get his redemption and revenge?

 

AJ Styles VS LA Knight!

The Phenomenal One doesn’t even embrace his pyro for his entrance, he just wants to get to business! Will he prove he should be the only one facing Roman Reigns? Or will the Mega Star make the same point when he shows Styles whose game this is?

SmackDown returns and Knight makes his entrance. The bell rings and Knight dodges Styles to fire off haymaker! Fans chant “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” with every shot, but then Styles kicks low. Styles headlocks, punches away on Knight’s face, but Knight hits a BIG back suplex! Knight and Styles scrap, Styles headlocks again but Knight fights up. Knight powers out and Styles hits buckles hard! Knight snarls, drags up, and he CHOKES Styles on ropes! The ref counts, Knight lets off to run and STRADDLE ATTACK! The fans fire up , duel, and Knight suplexes high and hard! Cover, ONE!! Knight is annoyed but the fans are thunderous as they duel!

Knight brings Styles up but Styles CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS! Knight CHOPS back, Styles eggs him on! The CHOPS go back and forth, then Knight gets the edge! Styles dodges to fire off the Phenomenal Blitz! Knight staggers and crawls, Styles KICKS him down! Styles bumps Knight off buckles, scoops him, and hits a BACKBREAKER! Styles storms up on Knight, rains down fists, then brings Knight around. Styles puts Knight on ropes, CHOKES him in return, but lets off as the ref counts. Styles brings Knight up to CHOP again! Knight goes to a corner, but he kicks back! And JABS! And haymakers!

Fans chant “YEAH! YEAH!” but Styles kicks a leg out! Knight hobbles, Styles storms up to CHOP, then he whips. Knight reverses and scoops to POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO! Styles grits his teeth as he stays in this, but Knight bumps Styles off buckles. Knight stops a mudhole, “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” Knight then lets off and he spells it out, “L! A! KNIGHT!” But Styles bails out before the boot! Knight storms out, but Styles goes up to SLIDING KNEE from the apron! Knight falls, the ring count climbs, but Styles whips Knight into the barriers! Styles slides into the ring just to refresh the count, then he goes back for Knight.

Knight FLAPJACKS Styles off the barriers! Knight brings Styles to the desk, and dribbles him off the lid! The fans chant “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” and the count climbs, but wait, here comes Jimmy Uso! Fans boo as Jimmy grins while doing Roman’s bidding, but Knight says okay, bring it! Jimmy then backs down, so Knight goes back for Styles. Styles ENZIGURIS Knight down! Fans fire up, Solo is there! SAMOAN SPIKE to Knight!!

Winner: LA Knight, by disqualification

Fans boo as Solo now CLOBBERS Styles! Jimmy applauds, having done his part as the decoy. Solo sends Styles into the steel steps! Styles tumbles up and over, then Solo puts Styles in the ring! Fans boo more as Solo brings Styles back up! SAMOAN SPIKE for Styles!! Solo demands a mic, and is given one so he can say, “Two down, one to go!” Solo demands Randy get out here NOW! Solo wants his main event fight, will he finish the trifecta for his Tribal Chief? Or will the Viper be the one to strike Solo down first?

 

Randy Orton VS Solo Sikoa!

SmackDown returns as now Aldis is ringside, the contract in hand. He is apparently still waiting for Roman to actually give him the time of day to sign it. But then here comes Randy Orton! The Viper takes his time walking to the ring, keeping an eye on Solo. The ref keeps Solo back while Orton steps into the ring and poses on his favorite corner. The bell rings, Orton and Solo stare down, then they fire off! Orton has the edge but Solo shoves him and UPPERCUTS him! Orton goes to a corner, Solo rains down fists! The ref counts, Solo lets off to run and HIP ATTACK! Orton flops out of the ring and fans boo as Solo goes out after him.

Solo drags Orton up, aims at the desk, but Orton blocks to SMACK Solo off the desk! Orton brings Solo around, but Solo fights the back suplex! Solo SMACKS Orton off the desk after all, then RAMS him into steel steps! Fans boo as Solo stands tall, and SmackDown goes to break.

SmackDown returns once more, Orton blocks another desk smack, and he ROCKS Solo to then DESK BACK SUPLEX!! Solo writhes, the ring count is 5 of 10, and Orton drags Solo back over. Solo throws body shots, he SMACKS Orton off the apron, and then he pushes Orton in. Solo storms up, but Orton KICKS him in the ropes! The fans fire up as Orton drags Solo along the ropes, to DRAPING DDT! The fans are thunderous as Orton starts hearing those voices in his head! Orton pounds the mat, demands Solo rise up, but fans boo as Jimmy returns! But then Knight CLOBBERS Jimmy!

Fans fire up, but Jimmy ROCKS Knight in return and runs away again. But Styles is there to DECK Jimmy! And he RAMS Jimmy into the tron! Seems those Samoan Spikes didn’t do enough! Styles storms back down the ramp, Orton dares Styles and Knight to bring it, but Solo turns him around! RKO!! Cover, Orton wins!!

Winner: Randy Orton, by pinfall

The Viper still struck first! But then Knight and Styles storm into the ring again and the three challengers stare down. Fans fire up, and Aldis says to hold on. But Knight DECKS Styles! Knight says do what you want out there, just not in Knight’s ring. But then Orton RKOs Knight! And he spells it out a la LA Knight! Then he RKOS STYLES!! SUPERMAN PUNCH from Roman outta nowhere!! The Tribal Chief waited until everyone else was distracted, and then he stares Aldis down. Aldis steps forward to hand him the contract. Roman looks at it, takes the pen, and he signs his part. And then he drops it in front of Aldis.

The match is now official for the Rumble, and Roman takes aim at Orton! Orton rises up, Roman lets out the battle cry, then runs in, into an RKO!! The fans are thunderous again as the Viper still had enough venom in the tank! But will Orton have to really dig down deep if he wants to bring down three of the best all at once?


My Thoughts:

A great SmackDown here, and it felt a bit like a go-home with quite a bit set up for next week’s real go-home. A bit of a waste of Fyre & Dawn getting a title match, though. The match felt short, and part of the spotlight was taken away with DMG CTRL ringside and Bayley on commentary. Kayden & Katana winning was fine, now they and Kabuki Warriors are having their tag title match next week, and who knows what happens there. A part of me thinks Asuka & Kairi do win those belts to put the pressure on Bayley in the Women’s Rumble. It’ll work to give DMG CTRL reason to kick Bayley out for being the only one without a belt, and also give SmackDown some time with the women’s tag titles.

Really good Six Man Tag to open things tonight, and a good win for the now officially named Legado Del Fantasma. Really good promos from Lashley & The Profits, as well as The Final Testament, and we’re getting closer to their own Six Man Tag. Great stuff from Pretty Deadly tonight, especially as they helped set up the official repackage of Butch into Pete Dunne. I know I kinda did this whole moment a disservice by still referring to him as Pete Dunne this entire time, but this is still a great moment that has been long awaited. British Strong Style gets a great win, Pretty Deadly have a hilarious reaction promo after, and I really hope Bate & Dunne get a shot at the tag titles for Mania.

Really solid stuff from Kevin and Logan in their promo, and Kevin no-selling Logan’s list of accolades was more effective than Logan no-selling Kevin. Though, I myself would’ve just summed Logan’s list up with “So what?” Anyway, good brawl, and Logan standing tall is good for the go-home math, in that this is a good sign that Kevin does get this title off Logan at the Rumble. Good promo from Melo with Theory and Waller, and it seems Theory’s passed concussion protocol to be home in Atlanta and then go to Miami next week to have his rematch with Melo. Just skip the Arabian Press Fly thing he did and we should be good.

And of course, great stuff from The Bloodline/Universal Championship story. Roman dumping all over Jimmy, refusing to sign the contract to open the show, but Aldis threatening to dethrone Roman with his authority, all good stuff. I really like Aldis standing up to Roman & Heyman being he’s the GM and they’re the talent. Styles and Knight getting into a fight to have their match, only for that to be “ruined” by Solo was actually a good move for the story. Solo had a good bit in the suite promo, and the detail of even Roman being unsure how to respond is good stuff. Great stuff in Solo VS Orton, including Knight and Styles stopping Jimmy from helping.

Now Roman of course signs his part, after The Bloodline wipes out Knight and Styles. But then Orton standing tall here pretty much indicates Roman is winning at the Rumble, which we all pretty much knew anyway. The Fatal 4 Way will still be good, of course, and the Fatal 4 could see the three challengers dispatch of the Bloodline trying to interfere rather effectively for once.

My Score: 8.8/10

PLAY BY PLAY

MJF arrives backstage.

Renee Paquette is there to bring up tonight’s main event is Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita for the AEW World Championship. If Darby Allin wins, MJF will then have to sign a contract for Title VS Hair at Double or Nothing. Darby has made it clear that if MJF doesn’t sign said contract, Darby will never allow MJF to face him for the title again. We all know how important the title is for MJF, but is MJF willing to put his hair on the line for it? MJF just chuckles and moves on, but he notices the very bald Rick Knox, Bryce Remsburg, and the head of security, David Aponte. And then various bald members of the production staff…

And then even Christopher Daniels & Sonjay Dutt are there! Daniels and Sonjay chuckle before moving on, and then MJF sees John Silver flexing. Brandon Cutler, some arena staff, and even Tommaso Ciampa, all bald. Then last but certainly not least, Ricochet! He tells MJF that don’t worry, he’ll look great. Just not as good as Ricochet. AHA~! MJF storms off, will he have no choice but to choose between gold belt and chrome dome?

 

10 Man Tag: Orange Cassidy, Adam Copeland, Christian Cage & The Young Bucks VS Tommaso Ciampa, David Finlay, Clark Connors & FTR w/ Stokely Hathaway!

While we know the AEW World Tag Team Championship match will be a conglomeration of I Quit Match and New York Street Fight, THE Conglomeration will be waiting on the other side for their own tag title match. And let’s not forget that Matt & Nick Jackson want their own shot at those titles again. With that, can Freshly Squeezed work together with C&C and The Bucks? Or will the Psycho Killer, the Dogs, and the Top Guys all stand tall on the road to Double or Nothing?

The teams sort out and the teams just brawl it out! The fans cheer as The Bucks have The Dogs, Cope is after Ciampa, Christian is after Cash, and Dax brawls with Cassidy! Dax bumps Cassidy off buckles but Cassidy ducks the haymaker to waistlock. The Bucks, Cope & Christian clear everyone else out, then take the brawl outside!

Cash sends Christian into railing, then CLOBBERS Cassidy! Nick fires hands on Finlay, Cassidy sends Cash into railing!

Cassidy and Dax meet in the ring, Dax ROCKS and CHOPS Cassidy, but Nick sends Finlay into railing! Dax DECKS Cassidy, throws hands on Cope, but Cope fires back! The fans fire up but the ref reprimands! Cope DECKS Dax, and wait, Christian and Cash are brawling in the crowd! Same for Matt and Connors! Finlay CLAWS Nick’s face, Cassidy ROCKS Dax, and Cassidy whips. Dax reverses, Cassidy goes up and out to then SMACK Dax off buckles! Cassidy goes up, Ciampa BOOTS Nick, and Dax trips Cassidy. Dax CHOPS Cassidy, climbs up after him, and goes to the very top! The fans boo but Dax stands Cassidy up, SUPER DUPER PLEX!

Dax then rolls through to suplex again, but Cassidy STUN-DOG MILLIONAIRES! Cassidy runs, tilt-o-whirls, and DDTS! Cassidy kips up, the fans fire up, but Finlay sends Nick into steel steps! #BigStoke grabs Cassidy’s foot, Cash CLOBBERS Cassidy! The fans boo but Dax puts Cassidy in the corner to tag Ciampa. FTR and the Psycho Killer mug Cassidy! The fans boo and the ref reprimands, but Ciampa stands Cassidy up. Cassidy blocks the chop! And he blocks another chop! The fans cheer but Ciampa kicks low and CHOPS again! The fans boo but Ciampa soaks up that heat. Ciampa drags Cassidy by a leg, turns him over, but Cassidy fights around!

Cassidy kicks and kicks but Ciampa drags him back! Cassidy turns to BOOT Ciampa away! Dax tags in and he CLOBBERS Cassidy! The fans boo but Dax flips them off. Dax whips Cassidy, runs up, but Cassidy dodges! Dax POSTS himself! Both men are down, hot tags to Cash and Nick! Nick rallies on FTR with haymakers, BLASTS Ciampa, but Cash kicks low! FTR whips, DOUBLE HIP- NO, Nick lands out, MEETING OF TEH MINDS! Then DOUBLE WHEEL KICK! The fans fire up as Nick then DROPKICKS Dax out! The Dogs run up, but Nick knuckle locks and CHOPS Finlay!

The Polar Express is getting going, and Finlay joins the ride! DOUBLE NORTHERN LIGHTS!

The fans are electric and it’s not just the volt green! Time for a SUPERKICK PARTAY~! Wait, Stokely grabs a foot each! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Stoke can’t even trip The Bucks up. The Bucks drag Stoke in! Stoke pleads for mercy, but FTR runs up! The Bucks dodge, mule kick, then SUPERKICK for Dax! SUPERKICK for Cash! DOUBLE SUPERKICKS on The Dogs! Then FTR is sent into The Dogs before DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Ciampa runs up to waistlock but Nick switches. Ciampa BOOTS Matt away, ELBOWS Nick, but Matt dodges, PSYCHO KNEE into Cash! DOUBLE SUPERKICKS for Ciampa!

The fans fire up again, and The Bucks see C&C. They point to Christian, and the fans cheer! Christian steps in, the ref reprimands but Cope argues with the ref. This distraction lets Christian LOW BLOW Cash! DOUBLE SUPERKICKS for Cash! Christian covers, TWO! Cash survives, the fans boo, but Christian rains down fists while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Christian puts Cash in the corner to CHPO, CHOP, and then rain down fists! Christian goes past TEN, maybe to fifteen, then stops. Cash sputters, Stoke talks trash, but Christian grabs Stoke! Cash CLUBS Christian, Ciampa HOTSHOTS the bad arm, and Ciampa hurries to tag in. Ciampa drags Christian around, SLAMS the bad arm off the mat, then SLAMS the arm again! Ciampa POSTS Christian, and Christian falls to the apron. The ref keeps his eyes on the rest of the team so they stay back. Ciampa goes out, and he SWINGS the bad arm into the post! Christian scrambles away, clutching the arm, but Ciampa taunts Cope with a wave.

The ref reprimands but Finlay anchors Christian while he tags in Dax. Dax CHOPS Christian, DECKS him, then taunts Cope and The Bucks. The Bucks rally the fans, Cope coaches Christian up, but Dax brings Christian around. Christian blocks a shot to hit back, but then Dax kicks low! Dynamite returns to single picture as Dax UPPERCUTS Christian back to the corner. Stoke is on commentary suddenly to say Christian tried to steal Stoke’s watch, aka the watch Stoke stole from Christian.

But Christian fires back on Dax and the whole corner! Then he and Dax DOUBLE LARIAT! The fans fire up while both men are down! Christian crawls, but we can see Cash and The Dogs sneaking over! They and Ciampa YANK down Cope, Cassidy and The Bucks! The fans boo but Dax drags Christian back to center. Dax kicks and scuffs Christian, then talks trash.

The fans fire up, Stoke freaks out, and The Bucks join Cope in the ring. They TRIPLE SUPERKICK Connors! Cassidy is in, ORANGE PUNCH! SPEAR from Cope!! Cover, C&C Conglomeration Bucks win!

Winners: Orange Cassidy, Adam Copeland, Christian Cage & The Young Bucks, by pinfall

Another star-studded 10 Man Tag, and it was a huge win for all the hungry contenders. Christian doesn’t wanna celebrate, but he does signal that he and Cope will be champions. Will putting their tag team legacy on the line be enough to take the gold? Or will Double or Nothing be the last night that team reeks of awesomeness?

 

Will Ospreay continues to train with The Death Riders.

They’re outside this time, Claudio Castagnoli playing some wall ball with Marina Shafir and Pac. Daniel Garcia says, “Tonight is the night that we’ve all been waiting for: The Aerial Assassin, Will Ospreay, is cleared and back on Dynamite. And rumor has it, the kid’s been working real hard and he’s got some new tricks up his sleeves. So Young Boy Billy, tonight you gotta show me something, c’mon.” Garcia gets a quick turn in on wall ball while cameras move over. Ospreay is maintaining a neck bridge while Jon Moxley uses Wheeler Yuta as a living dummy to show just how to push and pull and bend and twist on the various chinlocks and headlocks.

Use the right arm to push against the head, then snake in the left arm for the sleeper. Pry and shoot. Moxley asks how Ospreay feels. Ospreay lets off the bridge and says honestly, the best he’s felt in forever. Moxley asks if Ospreay remembers the night he won the Best of the Super Juniors. Yeah, 2019. AKA a lifetime ago. Ospreay was carefree, flew like a bird, for no other reason than that’s just what birds do. So simple back then, chasing that feeling, like no other feeling in the world. Can’t really grab it in your hands for more than a few seconds. The joy of doing it. Then everybody comes in and tries to make it so overcomplicated.

Years pass, life happens, a family starts, responsibilities show up, bad things happen, bad choices catch up to you, and it’s all weight on your shoulders. You feel like you can’t fly. But Moxley will tell you something: Nothing is different. Nothing has changed. All those things are still gonna be there, but you can still fly. You’re just more dangerous now. You’re a bird of prey. So tonight, when you got out there, don’t go out there to protect anything. Not your neck, your image, your reputation, or what you’ve built in your career. Go out there to give something. Moxley checks on Yuta and says dammit, if you’re gonna snap a headlock, snap the headlock!

Moxley storms off to instruct his pupil, but will Ospreay use everything he has been taught to great effect? Or will he have to fold against Ace Austin?

 

Chris Jericho speaks.

“You wanna face Jericho in a match of my own design, Ricochet? A spectacle so innovative, so imaginative, it cannot be contained, it can only be witnessed. Well, be careful what you demand, because you’ve made a few enemies yourself, Ricochet. And now a match designed specifically to settle scores without any, and I mean AAANY~, limitations has gotten even bigger.” Chris Jericho & The Hurt Syndicate were just looking for two more, but “Jungle” Jack Perry said he can bring four: himself, The Young Bucks, and KENNY OMEGA! Jericho tells Ricochet that this is no longer what he designed, but it is a devil’s dance of destruction! Ricochet’s destruction!

Ricochet got what he wanted, now can he handle it? Bald. The first-ever SEVEN VS SEVEN Stadium Stampede, who will even survive?

Ricochet & The Demand respond.

They stand with Mark Davis of the Don Callis Family and Ricochet says we all know Jericho does a lot of talking out of his ass while The Demand gets things done. Just like Davis did when he defeated Jack for the AEW National Championship at Fairway to Hell. Hold it with pride, Davis, Ricochet knows you’ll do it well. Davis says he’s got this. Ricochet says Davis has joined the dream team, but he’s not the only one. Because compliments to Ricochet’s golfing buddy, Don Callis, look who else he’s sending: Andrade El Idolo! Gracias, amigo. But it doesn’t stop there, the train keeps rolling. Ricochet was just approached by two guys who have an ax to grind with the superkick sidekicks.

These two wanna fill out the last two spots, so who is Ricochet to say no to The Dogs? Finlay & Connors storm in, and Finlay says to put it simple, they will fight The Bucks in the streets, in the ring, but guess it’s fighting at Double or Nothing! If they want violence, if they want carnage, if they want chaos, who better than The Dogs?! The Dogs bark and Liona roars, but will these seven stand tall in the Big Apple?

 

“Speedball” Mike Bailey w/ Kevin Knight VS BK Westbrook!

JetSpeed has a lot of momentum on their side, and as stated last week at Fairway to Hell, they’re looking to grab up all the gold they can. Will Speedball keep on rolling towards his own golden opportunity? Or will #Supastud prove his own worth?

The bell rings and the fans rally as the two step up. Bailey bows in respect, offers a handshake, but Westbrook goes to roll Bailey up! Bailey stays on his feet, then steps over to sit down on a cover, TWO! Westbrook ducks a Penalty Kick, avoids the moonsault, and the sweep! Bailey dodges, Westbrook tiger feints through the ropes, but Bailey handsprings up and over! The fans fire up as Bailey ducks an elbow to whip. Westbrook goes up, around, but kinda fumbles his tumble. The fans cheer and jeer him for his attempt, but Westbrook blocks the boot! Westbrook FLIPS Bailey, springboards in, but Bailey dodges! TIME ADVENTURE!

Bailey pushes Westbrook down, goes up the corner, and the fans fire up for the ULTIMATE WEAPON! Cover, Bailey wins!

Winner: Mike Bailey, by pinfall

Another fast ‘n’ furious finish, and Bailey’s on a hot streak! But now, the other side of JetSpeed looks to keep it up! But just who is Kevin Knight defending the TNT Championship against? It’s… BRIAN CAGE!? The Machine finally returns to action, and he has the Don Callis Family with him! Will Cage be able to ground Knight and take this title back to the family?

AEW TNT Championship Open Challenge: Kevin Knight w/ “Speedball” Mike Bailey VS Brian Cage w/ The Don Callis Family!

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who betta!

The bell rings, Cage runs up, but Knight dodges! Knight fires haymakers, Cage shoves him, but Knight dodges. Knight CHPOS, but Cage doesn’t budge! Cage makes the pecs dance, so Knight CHOPS again! The fans cheer as Cage eggs Knight on. Knight urns, leaps, but into Cage’s arms! Cage uses Knight to do curls, then THROWS knight! Knight lands out, RAMS Cage, but Cage comes back! Knight RAMS Cage again, but it’s still not enough! Knight tries a bigger SHOULDER TACKLE, but Cage stays standing! Knight runs one more time, ducks ‘n’ dodges, SATELLITE- NO, Cage stops the DDT! Cage THROWS Knight away!

Knight staggers, Cage SUPERKICKS him down! “Who betta than Cage?!” The fans fire up as Cage storms up on Knight, stands him up, and bumps him off buckles. Cage RAMS into Knight, stands him up, then RAMS again! The ref counts, Cage CHOPS, and the fans cheer. Bailey rallies the fans but Archer coaches Cage, and Cage whips Knight hard into the corner! The fans are torn as Cage hauls Knight up. Cage ROCKS Knight, CHOPS him, then CHOKES him on the ropes! The ref counts, Cage stops at 4, then Cage stalks Knight. Cage stands Knight up, whips him to the corner, then runs in, only for Knight to BOOT! Cage still LARIATS!

Cage hauls Knight up, whips him to ropes, but Knight grabs ropes. Knight DUMPS Cage out, then DROPKICKS him down! Cage sputters, the fans fire up, and Knight builds speed to DIVE! But he bounces off Cage! Cage then fireman’s carries, APRON F5! Knight sputters but Cage goes up the steps to soak up cheers and jeers, all while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Cage refreshes the ring count, drags Knight up again, and hits an APRON BACK SUPLEX! Knight writhes, Cage refreshes the count again, then he whips Knight into barriers! Knight practically falls into the laps of the front row! But Cage brings Knight around to CHOP him down! Cage soaks up the cheers and jeers before he brings Knight around again. Cage SMACKS Knight off the apron, then puts him in the ring. Cage storms into the ring, drags Knight by his legs, and ties the legs up into a TEXAS CLOVERLEAF! Knight endures as Cage sits deep! Knight powers up, fights his way forward, and he reaches to the ROPEBREAK!

The ref counts, Cage lets go at 4, but Cage brings Knight up. Knight CHOPS, CHOPS, and CHOPS, but Cage still doesn’t back down. Knight fires more shots, but Cage UPPERCUTS him down! Cage digs his boot into Knight at the corner, but he stops as the ref counts. Cage drags Knight up, puts him in a corner, and LARIATS! Cage wrenches to then SAIDO Knight away! Knight flounders to the apron, Cage soaks up more cheers and jeers, and Dynamite returns to single picture. Knight rises to fire forearms on Cage, but Cage ROCKS Knight in return! Cage slingshots Knight into a facelock, for a SPIRALING SUPLEX! Cover, TWO!

Knight survives and Cage is frustrated, but Cage decides to write Knight off. Cage drags Knight up, reels him in, and suplexes, DRILL- NO, Knight slips free to waistlock. But Cage ELBOWS Knight, whips, but Knight jumps up! SATELLITE- NO, Cage goes for ropes! Knight HOTSHOTS Cage for it! Then Knight springboards back in, MISSILE DROPKICK! The fans fire up while both men are down! A standing count starts while the fans rally up. Cage goes to a corner but he runs up on Knight. Knight bobs ‘n’ weaves, fires off shots, then fires a flurry of haymakers! But Cage grabs and TOSSES Knight to a corner!

Cage runs up, Knight dodges, and Knight runs back in. Knight ducks ‘n ‘dodges, FLAPJACK DROPKICK! The fans fire up as Cage bails out! Knight builds speed and FLIES! Cage catches him?!? The fans go nuts as Cage lifts, but Knight RANAS Cage into POST! The fans cheer as Knight hurries to get space. Knight runs, goes up the apron, and LEAPING LARIATS! Down goes Cage! The fans fire up with Knight, he puts Cage in the ring, and he hurries up the corner. Archer creeps up, but Bailey SUPERKICKS him! The fans cheer, but Cage CLUBS Knight! Cage then climbs up, and he deadlift SUPERPLEXES! Cover, TWO!

The fans fire up as Knight survives, but Archer guzels Bailey! Bailey fights free of the choke slam to mule kick Archer! Cage runs up, but Bailey springboards to ARIHARA MOONSAULT! Down goes the Murderhawk Monster! knight springboards, Cage dodges, but Knight leaps the discus lariat! SATELLITE DDT finally lands! Cover, TWO!! Cage survives and Knight is beside himself! Knight hurries to run in at the corner, but Cage ELBOWS him away! Cage goes up, but into the UPPER- NO! Cage stops the rana! Cage YANKS Knight up to the top, for a SUPER- UPPER ROOM!! Knight still throws Cage, then goes up top!

Knight aims, MOTHERSHIP UFO SPLASH!! Cover, KNIGHT WINS!!

Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)

The Machine was out for 14 months and yet no ring rust to be found! However, The Jet is just #2Fly2Stop! Bailey brings mics into the ring to say, “Congratulations to The Jet on a hell of a win!” Knight says much appreciated. But like he said, they’re red hot right now! And Brian Cage, welcome back! Cage took Knight to his limits, but The Jet is still standing as TNT Champion. But Knight can’t get over how last week, he couldn’t get the job done becoming #Jet2Belts. Bailey says forget last week. Knight IS a future AEW World Champion! Bailey says he knows it, and everyone here knows it! The fans cheer that!

Knight says he appreciates the support from Bailey and Ashville. Bailey is always in his corner, Knight is always in Bailey’s. And if Bailey keeps it up, he’ll be singles champion, too. Bailey says yeah, Knight got him thinking. Tonight, Darby VS Takeshita, BAILEY WANTS NEXT! Bailey says Takeshita was his greatest rival in Japan, but they’ve yet to have a singles match in AEW. And Darby, as much as Bailey wants to see MJF go bald…! Bailey is coming for Darby’s AEW World Championship! JetSpeed daps it up, will they become a 2 Fly 2 Man Power Trip?

 

AEW reveals the Men’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament Brackets!

This year’s tournaments will go through Double or Nothing, and the finals will coincide with Forbidden Door 2026 on Sunday, June 28th in San Jose, California! The winner of each tournament will then challenge for THE AEW World Championship and AEW Women’s World Championships on August 30th at All In: London! And so, for the opening round, it will be: “Jungle” Jack Perry VS Mark Davis; Claudio Castagnoli VS Brody King; then Double or Nothing has both Samoa Joe VS Will Ospreay, and Swerve Strickland VS Bandido!

 

“Jungle” Jack Perry speaks.

“Mark Davis… I’m sure you feel some congratulations are in order. But you’re not champion to me. You see, you’re built like an Australia grizzly bear, yet you still needed somebody to hit me in the back with a golf club for you to beat me. At Stadium Stampede, bring your friends, bring any weapon you want, and I will crack you over the skull with it. Because anything goes. But after that, it’s back to grass roots, because it is you and me, fighting for a shot at the world title at All In: London. And in the Owen Hart Tournament, I will prove to you beyond a shadow of a doubt that I’m a better wrestler than you. I am the FUTURE world champion!

“And if you don’t like that, F YOU!” Jungle Jack is sharpening his knife, but will his edge be razor sharp when it comes time to cut down Dunkzilla?

 

Will Ospreay VS Ace Austin!

We’ve seen the Aerial Assassin training with The Death Riders, he’s won gold with his old friends in The United Empire, and now he’s about to face a dangerous man at Double or Nothing. Will Ospreay be more than ready for Samoa Joe after tonight? Or will he fail to even get past The Inevitable?

The bell rings and the fans cheer Ospreay as he stares down with Ace. Ospreay offers a handshake, Ace accepts, and the fans cheer the sportsmanship. They circle, tie up, and Ospreay wrenches to wristlock. Ace rolls, handsprings, and wrenches, but Ospreay rolls, kips up, and wrenches back. Ospreay hammerlocks, Ace rolls to kip up and wrench to then armlock. Ospreay endures the grind, fights around, and he arm-drags Ace down. Ace endures, fights around, and rises up. Ace shoots through to waistlock but Ospreay switches. Ospreay hits the headlock takeover, Ace headscissors, but Ospreay kips free.

The fans cheer the standoff, and the two reset. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and go shoulder to shoulder in a Test of Strength. The fans rally as Ace pushes Ospreay back. Ace has Ospreay down for a knuckle lock cover, ONE as Ospreay gets his arm up. Ace pushes it down, cover, ONE as Ospreay gets the other arm up. Ace tries again, ONE as Ospreay bridges! Ace jumps up, but Ospreay holds the bridge! That training truly pays off! Ace jumps, Ospreay gets him for a MONKEY FLIP! The fans fire up as Ospreay then arm-drags! Ospreay wristlocks and he bends the fingers! Ospreay isolates the arm to then STOMP it!

Ace TAPS, Ospreay wins!!

Winner: Will Ospreay, by submission

That might’ve been Ospreay’s first win by submission ever! He signals that his neck is no longer a problem, and he shows Ace respect for that fight. Ace accepts the handshake again, and Ospreay is moving on towards Double or Nothing with a great amount of momentum. But wait! SAMOA JOE is here! He and The Opps walk out on stage, and with mic in hand, Joe says, “Ospreay, Ospreay… OSPREAY, OSPREAY!” Joe is clearly mocking the chants for Ospreay, and the fans give genuine chanting and even singing in return. Joe says he just wanted to make sure Ospreay was listening, because these past few weeks, it seemed like Ospreay had a hard time hearing him.

Despite Ospreay’s best efforts, fate has put them on a collision course in the opening round of the Owen Hart Cup. The fans like the sound of that! Joe say she is here for one reason and one reason alone. He wants to speak about choices and consequences. Ospreay could’ve made the right choice and get a bye in this tournament, because that is what Joe would do for one of his friends. But Ospreay chose poorly. He could’ve been with the team that would do nothing but support and enhance Ospreay, but he decided to be a lapdog for Moxley and the Death Riders. The fans boo, Ospreay says he’s not a Death Rider.

Joe says Ospreay has made his choice, and come Double or Nothing, Joe makes Ospreay suffer the consequences. But Joe leaves Ospreay in peace tonight, for he has his date with destiny. But unfortunately, Joe’s friends, Katsuyori Shibata & Anthony Bowens, still feel slighted, and he doesn’t put leashes on his friends. Shibata & Bowens storm down the ramp, Ospreay ready to fight them both if he has to. But then The Death Riders appear! Ospreay may not have officially joined the club, but the Death Riders aren’t going to let their investment go to waste! The Opps say they’re #NeverLacking, but that doesn’t seem to be the case now!

Shibata & Bowens back down while Moxley, Marina, Claudio, Yuta, Garcia & Pac all step up to support Ospreay. Joe says, “Soon. Soon.” The fans cheer the Death Riders, or at least Moxley, but Bowens promises Joe is gonna kill you, Ospreay! The dream match for Double or Nothing is on, but will the training with The Death Riders make Ospreay the new King of Harts?

 

BREAKING NEWS for next week!

If you liked last week’s THREE HOUR block of AEW, then you’ll love this next one! Portland, Maine, the last Wednesday before Double or Nothing, Dynamite & Collision are combining forces again! Three hours all on TBS and HBO Max, make sure your DVR is set accordingly!

 

Backstage interview with Don Callis & Konosuke Takeshita.

Renee is now with The Invisible Hand & The Alpha, saying tonight is a huge opportunity in the main event, Konosuke facing Darby Allin for THE AEW World Championship. Konosuke could be heading into Double or Nothing as a- Callis stops Renee there to say Konosuke will be heading into Double or Nothing as a DOUBLE champion! But then MJF steps in, apologizes for the interruption but says Renee’s doing a great job. The Scumbag tells Konosuke that while it’s been a minute since the two of them have talked, three years actually, back when MJF beat him… MJF has seen Konosuke develop into truly one of the best wrestlers in the world!

MJF believes that tonight, Konosuke beats Darby for the title, goes to DON to beat Okada, and MJF can’t think of a better match than Konosuke VS MJF Part 2 for the world title. How’s that sound? MJF offers a handshake, Konosuke shakes his hand, but in Japanese, Konosuke tells MJF that he’ll beat the crap out of him. Thankfully, MJF doesn’t know Japanese. Callis says that was a nice pep talk MJF just gave, and MJF says yes, he knows. That kid needs to win, okay? MJF can’t let Darby turn him into some disgusting, bald freak! No offense, Callis looks great. But look, there is only one foolproof way to know MJF won’t be put in that situation.

So if things get hairy… MJF hands over the Dynamite Diamond Ring! Callis smiles, and say she understands what to do with it. But then in steps Andrade. El Idolo takes off his hat to shake out his amazing head of hair, and smiles at MJF. MJF frowns and leaves. Callis says here’s the deal: Takeshita will bring the world title home to the Don Callis Family tonight! Andrade asks, “How you know?” Callis says aye dios mio, he seriously doesn’t know where Andrade learned English. Andrade says one way or another, the next time, that will be HIS title. Callis says yes, he knows, it’s all good. Callis is a man of many talents, but will his family be dripping with gold thanks to a diamond ring?

 

AEW now announces the Women’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament brackets!

Double or Nothing will see Willow Nightingale, the reigning Queen of Harts, take on Alex Windsor, while we will see Persephone VS Hazuki, Skye Blue vs Sareee, and Mina Shirakawa VS Athena! Champions from around the world are gathering for this tournament, but who will be headed to Forbidden Door, and then All In: London?

 

Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.

Renee Paquette is now with Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong, and Willow Nightingale. Renee commends Cassidy on his part in the 10 Man Tag victory. But it seems that there is even more business to attend to. Cassidy says yes, the team has a shot at THE AEW World Tag Team Championships. It doesn’t matter who it is, they’re getting their shot, but the thing is… They still haven’t decided on which two will be. Kyle says Cassidy & Roddy should go for the gold, but Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! Thank you.” Kyle says of course. But that’s cuz he’s got gold to chase for himself!

The same man that put Kyle on the shelf for months is the man that Kyle submitted twice, and will submit again. Jon Moxley, Continental Champion, when are we doing this? Willow says speaking of gold, she is still the TBS Champion. But she is also in the Owen Hart Cup. She won this tournament before, she’ll do it all over again, so that she can have all the gold for herself at All In: London. She knows she can, and she will! Then Conglomeration has it all in order? Cassidy says hold on, there’s something missing. They should do a Word of the Day. Why haven’t they done one in so long? Roddy shouts for “MAAARK~!” And yes, Mark Briscoe returns!

The Sussex County Chicken is all fired up, and he says the Word of the day is reunification! For Mark Briscoe is back with his boys and his girls, The Conglomeration! But he’ll put this plain and simple: Tommaso Ciampa! Next Wednesday, Briscoe’s after your ass, son! You hear him? But before that, Saturday Night Collision is in HIS hometown, Salisbury, Maryland! That’s just 4.4 miles from where Briscoe originated on this earth! They’re gonna conglomerate and it’s gonna be a a hell of a time! Are you ready!? Willow and Kyle are fired up, Briscoe goes wild, and the team heads out. Cassidy admits, that was a lot of yelling.

But while The Conglomeration is ready to go Double or Nothing, will they soon have even more gold in the collection? Or are these high and lofty a little too much even for them?

 

Six Woman Tag: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds VS The Triangle of Madness!

With the news of both the AEW Women’s World Championship Fatal 4 Way for Double or Nothing, and the Owen Hart Cup brackets, this trios match is about much more than just settling scores! Will the Shining Samurai be just as sharp as Jamie Hayter going into that title match? Or will Thekla, Skye Blue & Julia Hart continue to bring them down by any means necessary?

The trios sort out and Jamie steps up against Thekla as both a rematch from their 1v1 title match, and a preview of what’s to come in the next. They circle, but then Skye CLOBBERS Jamie! Julia steps in, but so do Shida and Windsor! The Triangle throws hands on Shida & The Birds, then triple whip. But all three reverse, a BOOT for Thekla, a DDT for Skye, and a BACKBREAKER for Julia! The fans cheer as The Triangle bails out! Shida goes out to keep after Skye while Windsor goes after Julia. Jamie gets Thekla back in the ring while Shida and Windsor have the Sisters of Sin in the corners of the barriers. The fans cheer as they all rain down fists!

Windsor, Jamie & Shida all go to nine, then wind up for TEN! The fans cheer again while Thekla sputters. Jamie snap suplexes, but Skye ROCKS Shida! Jamie stomps Thekla, Windsor SLAMS Julia off barriers, and Jamie stomps a mudhole in the corner. The ref counts, Jamie lets off, but Skye and Windsor meet while tightrope walking the barriers! Skye and Windsor trade shots, they wobble a bit, then Skye DECKS Windsor! Skye keeps from falling into the crowd, but Jamie gets her! Windsor joins in and the Birds double gorilla press, SNAKE EYES off the apron! The fans fire up, but Thekla is up top! SUPER CROSSBODY onto The Birds!

The fans fire up again and Thekla is feeling it while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Thekla stomps Windsor, CLUBS Jamie, then helps Skye. But Shida runs up, only for Thekla to ELBOW her down! The Triangle has control again, they ROCK Jamie and Shida and Windsor, then send them all to the desk. The Triangle CHOP again and again and again! Then they wind up, but feint chops to SMACK all three off the apron! The Triangle soaks up the cheers and jeers before putting Jamie back in the ring. Thekla brings Jamie up, snapmares her down, then basement SUPERKICKS! Cocky cover, TWO! Thekla drags Jamie to the corner, tags Julia, and Julia runs up to LARIAT! Then she goes side to side to ELBOW Jamie down!

Julia snapmares Jamie to a cover, TWO! Julia is annoyed but she rains down fists. The ref reprimands, Julia stops, but then she sucker punches Windsor! And Shida, too! Julia then drags Jamie over, bumps her off buckles, and tags in Skye. Skye stomps Jamie around, then digs her boot in! The ref counts, Skye stops at 4, then she brings Jamie up. Jamie fires forearms and CHOPS, but Skye THROWS Jamie down by her hair! The ref reprimands again but Skye rains down forearms. Skye snapmares Jamie, mule kicks her, then covers, TWO! Skye frowns but she stomps Jamie down. Skye tags Julia while Dynamite returns to single picture.

Skye whips Jamie into Julia’s grasp, and Skye BLASTS Shida & Windsor while Julia tags Thekla. Julia has Jamie in the TARANTULA, and Skye sends Windsor in for Thekla’s HANGING HEADSCISSORS! Skye runs up to DOUBLE SHOTGUN The Birds! The fans are torn but Thekla says that’s how the Triangle does it, baby! Thekla then aims to MISSILE- NO, Jamie gest under! Thekla lands out, but Jamie BOOTS her down! Jamie looks at Shida, Shida is hesitant, but Shida tags in! The fans cheer as Shida sends Theknla to the corner, then JUMP KNEES! Shida keeps moving, she BLASTS Skye! Julia ROCKS Shida back!

Julia storms in but Shida kicks her and whips her into Thekla! Shida KNEES them both in the corner! Then Shida puts Thekla sideways in the corner, reels Julia in, and she snap suplexes Julia into Thekla! The fans fire up as Shida then suplexes Thekla high and hard! Cover, TWO! Shida stands Thekla up, Thekla swings but Shida ROCKS her first! And ROCKS her again! Thekla wobbles, swings, but Shida catches Thekla for another forearm! Shida runs the ropes but Thekla mule kicks! Thekla SMACKS Shida, then she dodges a boot to DECK Shida! Thekla talks trash on Shida, then drags her up to tag in Julia.

Julia tags Skye, then tag back to Thekla. The Sisters of Sin hit the DOUBLE GOURD BUSTER and DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Thekla hits the bridge, and she aims for the SPIDER SPEAR! Cover, but The Birds CLOBBER The Sisters of Sin onto it! The fans fire up a Windsor DECKS Skye and Jamie HEADBUTTS Julia! The Birds drag Shida to safety, Windsor tags in, and she CLOBBERS Thekla!

Jamie runs the ropes, but Thekla slides in, BELT SHOT on Jamie!! No question that the ref saw that! The Triangle is disqualified!

Winners: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds, by disqualification

The Toxic Spider doesn’t care about this win, she just wants to do damage! Skye gets Windsor in a DRAGON SLEEPER! The ref stops Thekla from sing the title belt again, so Thekla just takes off her own belt! And she LASHES Windsor while Skye holds her down! More refs rush out here, but Julia MISTS the newbie in the face! Julia stomps away on Jamie, not caring about fines or consequences, either! The fans boo, and Shida is bailing on the Birds? Shida cares more about her chances in that Fatal 4 Way than anything else. But then Willow, Mina, and even Thunder Rosa rush out here! They chase The Triangle off with belts of their own!

The fans cheer as The Babe, the Fighting Gravure Idol & La Mera Mera save the day. But will Jamie make sure Thekla and Shida pay for this at Double or Nothing?

 

AEW World Championship: Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita!

They say “card subject to change,” and that is true even for the best in the world. Kazuchika Okada’s real family takes priority, but his Don Callis Family brother was more than happy to step up for this opportunity. Will The Alpha already have two belts by the time he and The Rainmaker battle over the International Championship? Or will Darby truly be relentless in his pursuit of being the best fighting champion in AEW history?

The introductions are made, THE belt is raised, and we see who goes to Double or Nothing on top!

Callis joins commentary to say that while Darby’s been breaking his own body, Konosuke has perfected “rejuvenation training,” aka relaxing on a beach and sipping sake! The bell rings, and Darby SHOTGUNS Konosuke out! Then Darby DIVES, but Konosuke catches him! Konosuke POSTS Darby, then THROWS him into railing! Konosuke THROWS Darby into the ring, the fans fire up for both guys, and Konosuke hurries to BOOT Darby off the apron! Darby falls in front of commentary but Konosuke gets him right back in the ring. Cover, ONE!! The fans rally as Darby shows his grit, but Konosuke snarls.

Konosuke drags Darby up, Darby fires forearms, but the ALPHA ELBOW knocks Darby down! The fans fire up while Konosuke looms over Darby. Konosuke stands Darby up, and THROWS him into a corner! Darby bounces off the buckles and is bleeding from the mouth already! Konosuke stands Darby up, hoists him up top, then he climbs up after him. But Darby BITES Konosuke, CLUBS him down, and leaps for a CROSSBODY, but he bounces off Konosuke! The fans fire up again as Konosuke whips Darby for a BACKDROP! Darby got serious hangtime there, and he flounders out of the ring. Darby coughs and sputters but the fans rally up.

Konosuke goes out after Darby but Darby SMACKS him! Konosuke KNEES low, KNEES him again and again and again! Konosuke KNEES Darby against the barriers, then refreshes the count. Konosuke whips Darby hard into railing! Darby sputters as he leans against the railing, but Konosuke positions the steel steps. Konosuke then fetches Darby, lines up a shot, but Darby fights the suplex! Darby CLAWS Konosuke’s back, then fires a shot. Konosuke DECKS Darby in return! Darby slumps against the steps, Konosuke runs up, but Darby dodges! Konosuke’s knees hit the steps and he tumbles over! Darby then runs up the steps to SHOTGUN Konosuke down!

The fans fire up while both men are down on the floor! Konosuke checks his knee before he crawls around, and Darby gets in the ring so he can build speed! Darby DIVES! Direct hit on Konosuke but Darby’s the one who hits the desk! The fans fire up while both men are down again, but Darby rises up to get Konosuke on the apron! Darby fires forearms, then goes up a corner! COFFIN- NO, Konosuke catches him for a SUPER BLUE THUNDER BOMB to the floor!! The fans go nuts again and Callis says that’s the end of Darby Allin, but Dynamite goes picture in picture.

The ref hurries to check Darby but Callis tells Doc Sampson to call it. Darby is somehow still in this, so Konosuke storms his way over. Konosuke drags Darby up, puts him in the ring, then paces around him. Konosuke runs the ropes to LARIAT! Darby flips inside-out, Konosuke covers him, TWO!! Darby still has fight inside but he’s also dazed. Konosuke clamps onto Darby with a chinlock and squeezes tight. Darby endures, even as Konosuke leans on him with his much-taller frame. Darby reaches out, fights around, and rises up, only for Konosuke to CANADIAN RACK BOMB! Darby sputters all over again while Dynamite returns to single picture.

Konosuke sits back as he watches Darby crawl to the apron. Konosuke storms his way over, but Darby RAMS low! Slingshot sunset flip, but Konosuke rolls through! Only for Darby to kick the legs out! Darby catches Konosuke to a GUILLOTINE! Konosuke endures the squeeze, fights up to his feet, and he powers out to THROW Darby! Darby lands out, fires shots, and RAMS low! Darby then hops on, but Konosuke stops Code Red! Konosuke swings Darby around, tucks him in, BASTARD DRIVER! And WHEELBARROW GERMAN! The fans fire up and Callis says that’s true power! Darby sputters again and Konosuke vows to end this.

Konosuke runs corner to corner, HELLUVA KICK!! Then he hoists Darby up top, climbs up after him, and goes to the very top! The fans freak out already for the SUPER DUPER GERMAN SUPLEX!! Bridging cover, TWO!!! Callis is freaking out as much as the fans, and he protests the count! Konosuke is furious, but he aims for the WAGAMAMA KNEE!!! Cover, TWO?!?! Darby survives by nanoseconds, and Konosuke is beside himself! “This is Awesome!” but now CLØN rushes out here! He distracts the ref, and Callis hurries to take the Dynamite Diamond Ring off his finger to put it in Konosuke’s hands! Konosuke thinks about it, but The Alpha has honor!

The fans cheer as Konosuke wants to do this his way! But then Darby runs up, cradles, TWO!! Konosuke escapes, ALPHA ELBOW!! Darby is down, dazed, but still moving! Konosuke drags Darby up again, goes back to the corner and back to the top rope. The fans hope these two “FIGHT FOREVER!” but it has to end somehow! Darby fights against the lift with headlock punches! Then he hops on, SUPER CODE RED!! Konosuke staggers up, Darby leg scissors, steps through, LAST SUPPER!! TWO?!?! Konosuke escapes again, then bails out! So Darby just goes up top! SUPER COFFIN DROP!! Direct hit and both men are down again!

The fans are thunderous as Konosuke and Darby stir. A ring count climbs, Callis complains that some people just gotta follow directions and run the play! Coach Callis pulled Konosuke outta obscurity, Konosuke would do anything! Now he’s got some gold, some fame, and gets a mind of his own! Callis complaining aside, the ring count is climbing! Darby drags himself in at 9, but Konosuke YANKS him back out! That refreshes the count, and Konosuke vows to end this for real now. Konosuke points to the steel steps, and he drags Darby up onto them with a deadlift RAGING- NO, Darby knees Konosuke, turns things around, and FULL METAL SCORPION DEATH DROP!!!

The fans go nuts again while Konosuke writhes! Konosuke flops off the steps, Darby crawls into the ring, and Darby just climbs the corner again! SUPER DUPER COFFIN DROP!!! Konosuke might be unconscious! Darby still hauls Konosuke into the ring, pushes him to a cover, TWO?!?!? Konosuke survives and Darby is furious! But Darby just reloads, COFFIN DROP but onto knees!!! Ghost pin, TWO!!! Darby escapes but the WAGAMAMA KNEE finds him!! Konosuke hauls Darby up, but Darby pops free! Trip, step through, and SCORPION DEATH LOCK!!! Konosuke endures, reaches out, but Darby sits deep!!

Callis says don’t even think about it! Konosuke almost does, but he bites his own thumb to ignore the pain in his back! Konosuke reaches out, crawls his way forward, and he fights to the ROPEBREAK!!! But Darby is right up top! COFFION DROP on the back!! Then Darby goes right back up, COFFIN DROP again!!! Cover, DARBY WINS!!

Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)

Callis is steaming, but Darby overcomes Konosuke to avenge that loss in the Continental Classic! But it also took so much out of him just to do it! Darby still asks for a mic and one is brought to him. Darby sits up against the ropes, has them cut his music, and he tells MJF to get his ass out here! There’s a contract MJF needs to sign! The ring crew hurries to bring in a table and some chairs for that very contract signing, and MJF makes his entrance. MJF reluctantly makes his way down the ramp, and both men meet at the table. Darby grins with blood still in hiss teeth, and he signs his part of the contract without hesitation, unlike MJF.

The fans already chant “BALD! BALD! BALD!” at MJF, and Darby pushes the contract to his side of the table. MJF grabs the pen, reaches out, but then steps away. MJF scratches his chin as he thinks on this, and the fans just chant, “BALD! BALD! BALD!” again. MJF takes a mic to say he’ll explain something to Darby, looking like he has rabies. But see, MJF is happy for Darby, he hopes Darby’s had fun holding MJF’s AEW World Championship. The fans boo that, but MJF says deep down, there is a small part of him, like the size of a North Carolinian p*nis small. That small part of MJF feels bad for Darby, because he’ll never hold this again!

Darby’s got about a good a chance of holding this title as Hangman Adam Page does again. MJF says guys like Darby are a dime a dozen, here today and gone tomorrow, stuntmen who burn the candle at both ends. In this life, people like all these fans here like to pretend that life is about making friends and family and children. The only thing that matters in life is your legacy. And Darby’s legacy will be that of the kid who had his 15 minutes of fame. They’ll pretend like Darby made a lasting impact, but the fact of the matter is, he hasn’t. He hasn’t! They’ll know deep down that Darby Allin was just a little pr*ck who got lucky.

They’ll know that Darby was too reckless and stupid to stay on top. And after May 24th, Double or Nothing, in that sh*thole of Queens, New York, y’know what MJF’s legacy will be? He’ll go down as the guy who became a THREE-TIME World Champion at just 30 years of age, unprecedented in this sport. And MJF will go down, when it’s all said and done, as the Greatest of All Time! THAT is the difference between them! Darby Allin brags about climbing a mountaintop. But when it comes to professional wrestling, Maxwell Jacob Friedman IS the mountaintop! The fans boo but MJF soaks it up. Darby tells MJF to SHUT UP!

Only someone like MJF who is so vain would think that the number one most important thing in this world is his legacy. Darby doesn’t care about legacy, he cares about living in the moment! And in this moment, Darby just wants MJF to sign the contract. Then at Double or Nothing, Darby makes Maxwell Jacob Friedman a BALLD HEADED B*TCH!! MJF frowns but the fans cheer that! MJF grabs the pen again, and with no choice, he signs on the dotted line! Then he TACKLES Darby! The fans boo as MJF beats up Darby after the war he went through with Konosuke! MJF CHUCKS an armchair outta the ring, FLIPS the table, then picks up his Dynamite Diamond Ring.

MJF puts the ring on his finger like always, then winds up to DECK Darby!! The fans boo but MJF just soaks it all up. MJF throws off his jacket, picks up the belt, and he stands over Darby with it. But then MJF isn’t done with Darby, he puts Darby on the top rope! MJF climbs up to join him, and drags Darby into position! But wait! Kevin Knight runs out here to chase MJF off! The Jet still owes The Scumbag a receipt, but it seems we’ll all have to wait on that. Will MJF still take back the title at Double or Nothing? Or will Darby keep the belt and take MJF’s dignity?
