The ref checks both Moxley and Dax, they’re both somehow okay to continue. Dax and Moxley slowly rise, Moxley getting to his feet first.

BCC lets FTR go, showing no mercy. Will they do the same to all teams that stand in their way and the top spots in AEW?
BREAKING NEWS for Blackpool Combat Club!
With all of the AEW VS CMLL action, especially between the BCC and the luchadores, that on March 29th, Moxley, Claudio, Bryan and even Wheeler Yuta are going down to Arena Mexico to battle Mistico, Volador Jr, Blue Panther y Ultimo Guerrero in an 8 Man Tag! Will AEW return the favor with a win South of the border?
Backstage interview with The Don Callis Family.
Renee Paquette is with Konosuke Takeshita, “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, and Don Callis himself as she notes Takeshita’s incredible roll. He beat Darby Allin, has two wins on Kenny Omega, and then did the unthinkable: He tapped Chris Jericho out with Jericho’s own move, the Walls of Jericho. What is next for the DCF now? Callis says they’re a victim of their own success! No one wants to wrestle Takeshita, Takeshita is the best rope to rope wrestler in the world. No one wants to wrestle Hobbs, either! The DCF has all the talent, and Revolution is coming. The best wrestler in the world needs to be on that PPV! The DCF needs to be on that PPV!
But they can’t find the talent for Takeshita, so Callis realized, he’s got all the talent right here! He looked within the family, and will give us a match that will have us all talking not just for years, but for decades! It will be DCF VS DCF when we see Konosuke Takeshita VS… Will Ospreay! Wait, Callis is willingly pitting “family members” against each other? Well, when Callis was growing up, Papa Callis would have a few drinks late at night, then make Don and his brothers fight in the backyard, every thing was fine with them. But the best part of this is that no matter what, the Don Callis Family wins.
And at the end of Revolution, no one will be talking about Sting! Everyone will be talking about Hobbs, Takeshita, Ospreay, Fletcher and the Don Callis Family’s Match of the Decade! A huge move by the malevolent mastermind, but will Ospreay appreciate this big money move by Callis?
Wardlow VS Barrett Brown!
The Undisputed Kingdom’s War Dog continues his warpath up the ranks, and surely has one eye on the AEW World Championship Triple Threat that’s looming. Will the Maestro of Mayhem have a symphony waiting for the winner on the other side of Revolution? Or will one of Austin, Texas’ own catch him off guard?
Adam Cole is on commentary for this, wanting to keep an eye on his Kingdom’s war machine. The bell rings and the fans chant for “WARD~LOW! WARD~LOW!” Wardlow stares Brown down, Brown storms up but Wardlow then powers him to a corner! Wardlow glares at Brown, the ref counts, so Wardlow drags Brown out to haul him right up top! WAR HAMMER already!! Wardlow grins and flexes while the ref checks. Wardlow admires himself on the tron and Cole smiles, and somehow Brown is still conscious! Cole says let’s wrap this up, so Wardlow gets Brown up, for a LAST RIDE!! Cover, Wardlow wins!
Winner: Wardlow, by pinfall
Cole says it was a pleasure to talk with everyone, though he barely said a thing. Wardlow scrapes Brown out of the ring, will he have his hands on gold soon enough?
AEW shares footage of The Young Bucks arriving earlier today.
And despite it being an entire week since their heinous attack on Sting & Darby Allin, Matthew & Nicholas Jackson still wear the blood-stained suits! They said it’s a lovely day, and they’re ready to get to work. But will Darius & Dante Martin humble the arrogant EVPs on the road to Revolution?
AEW TNT Championship #1 Contender’s Match: Adam “Edge” Copeland VS Daniel Garcia!
Though Christian Cage would never admit to it, it’s clear he fears both men in this match. The Patriarchy had to cheat to beat the living legend, and then they lost to the Red Death. Will Revolution get Rated R when Edge comes back for revenge? Or will Garcia prove he is the greatest wrestler of his generation by defeating one of the greatest of all time?
“Daddy Magic” Matthew Menard is on commentary to support Garcia. The bell rings and the fans rally up as the two circle. They feel things out, knuckle lock, then Edge ROCKS Garcia with a forearm! Edge KNEES Garcia to ropes, fires more forearms, then bumps Garcia off buckles. Edge fires more forearms, but lets off as the ref counts. The fans rally for “DANNY! DANNY!” and “ADAM! ADAM!” Edge wrenches and WRINGS Garcia’s arm out, and Garcia writhes. Edge clamps on the CROSSFACE but Garcia rolls it to a cover! ONE, so Garcia rolls and has a leg! ANKLE LOCK! Edge flails and scrambles to the ROPEBREAK!
Garcia lets go, Edge of course knows a lot about taking an Ankle Lock. The fans rally as the two reset and circle again. They tie up then fire forearms!

Garcia kicks at Edge so Edge KICKS Garcia in the side! Edge stalks Garcia to a corner, then CHOKES him on ropes! The ref counts, Edge lets off, and the fans continue to duel. Edge drags Garcia up, headlocks, but Garcia wrenches out to elbow low. Garcia headlocks, Edge powers out, and Edge runs Garcia over again!
Things keep moving, Garcia drops down then hurdles again. Garcia drops down again, but avoids the splash! Garcia has the Oklahoma Roll, TWO! Garcia sweeps the legs and covers, ONE! Edge runs into a drop toehold, and Garcia uses that to hook the leg! Garcia then hooks up both legs, CLUBS Edge on the back, then does his dance! Then he STOMPS both knees! Edge writhes, but Garcia drags Edge up to fire forearms. Garcia CHOPS Edge to a corner, whips him corner to corner, but Edge reverses. Edge runs up but into a BOOT!

Edge wobbles, Garcia goes up again, and CROSSBODIES, but into Edge’s arms! Edge shifts to SHOULDER BREAKER! Garcia writhes while the fans fire up, and Edge drags Garcia back up. Edge whips Garcia hard into buckles, and Garcia falls back as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Edge rises, has the ref move aside, and he runs to baseball slide dropkick Garcia outta the ring! Edge rests, does a backstroke, then mocks Garcia’s dance! Edge adds his own bit to it, then fetches Garcia. But Garcia fires off haymakers! Garcia whips, Edge reverses and Garcia is sent into steel steps! Edge stares Menard down, stalks Garcia, and Edge waves hi to fans in the front row. Edge has them move aside as he stands Garcia up and pushes him against railing! The ref reprimands as Edge fishhooks Garcia’s mouth! Edge lets off at 4 then soaks up the cheers and jeers. Edge borrows a fan’s sunglasses, then BREAKS them!?
Edge drags Garcia up, puts him in the ring, and then watches Garcia sit up. Edge runs up to KNEE Garcia in the back! Garcia writhes, but Edge slaps him around. Edge clamps on a chinbar armlock combo but Garcia endures. The fans rally, and Edge pushes that forearm into Garcia’s face. Garcia fights up, pries at the hold, then bounces to pop free! Dynamite returns to single picture as Garcia fires hands, but Edge BOOTS Garcia down! Edge stalks Garcia to a corner, puts him in a drop zone, and then goes up top. But Garcia rises to go after Edge! Edge and Garcia scrap as Garcia climbs, and Edge HOTSHOTS Garcia down!
The fans are torn as Edge storms his way back up the corner. But Garcia springs back up to trip Edge! Edge is stuck up top, and the fans fire up as Garcia goes after him! Garcia has a leg, SUPER DRAGON SCREW! Edge clutches his knee and the fans are thunderous as Garcia rises. Garcia fires hands on Edge, backs Edge down with shot after shot, then stomps away in the corner! The ref counts, Garcia digs his boots in, but still lets off so he can run side to side, BOOT WASH! Garcia drags Edge up but Edge fights the saido! Garcia still tries, but Edge CLUBS him! So Garcia gets the leg! DRAGON SCREW, and then a KNEE JAMMER!
The fans fire up and Garcia snarls as he looms over Edge. Garcia gets the bad leg, and drops an elbow right on the knee! And then another elbow on the knee! But Edge shifts around to go after an arm!

The fans boo as The Patriarchy mugs Garcia, with Christian Cage & “Mother” Shayna Wayne walking down the ramp. Captain Charisma saunters his way around the ring while fans boo as hard as they can, then he goes looking under the ring. Christian brings out two chairs! But Daddy Magic says NO! He takes a chair, now he and Christian have a standoff! But Luchasaurus CLOBBERS Menard from behind!
Fans boo again and Christian says that’s what Menard gets. The chairs are brought into the ring, Luchasaurus hauls Garcia up, JURASSIC CHOKE SLAM! Fans boo but then Nick drags Garcia onto a chair! Christian has the other, but then Edge gets in with a chair of his own! Edge JAMS Nick, JAMS Luchasaurus, then SMACKS Luchasaurus down!

The fans boo but now Christian stomps away on Edge! Christian feeds Edge to WAYNE’S WORLD!
Luchasaurus hauls Edge up, EXTINCTION LARIAT! Fans chant, “Christian Sucks!” but he just smiles as he now sets Edge up on a chair! And he gets the other chair, tells Edge this is what he gets for still pursuing him, and then takes aim! CON-CHAIR-TO!!! The Patriarchy stand over the Rated R Superstar and Christian raises the TNT Championship. What lows won’t Christian sink to in order to hold onto that belt?
Samoa Joe is here!
The fans fire up for the AEW World Champion as he makes his way to the ring, ready for the face-to-face-to-face with his two challengers. The fans chant for “JOE! JOE! JOE!” as he gets the mic. “My name is Samoa Joe, and I stand here proudly your AEW World Champion.” The fans cheer that, and Joe says tonight he comes with the spirit of apology. When he became champion, he reenacted the ranking system to make sure that only the very best victims were served up in front of him to destroy and continue his championship reign. “And everything was going so well, until last week when Hangman Adam Page and Swerve Strickland came out here, battled tooth and nail for 30 minutes, to a draw.”
Fans boo the draw, and Joe says somehow, someway, he thought the Championship Committee would kick those two to the back of the line. But no, they took a page out of the Texas playbook to make this match bigger and dumber. Fans are a little torn on that line, but Joe says it seems we reward mediocrity around here. And instead of telling those pretenders they don’t deserve to be contenders, now at Revolution, Joe finds himself in a Triple Threat. “Obviously a crime has been committed against me, and now there must be repercussions. So I guarantee you this: You send your two bright stars into the ring with me, and I guarantee I am hurting one, if not both of them! So they may walk in, but I guarantee they will both limp out.”
The fans fire up for that! Joe says that he stands here the AEW World Champion, and there is nothing anyone can do about that. But then “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” The fans fire up as Prince Nana leads the way for The Realest, doing his dance. Swerve already has a mic, and he steps into the ring. The fans chant, “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Swerve tells Joe, “When we started this whole thing, like I said, this wasn’t supposed to be personal, right? But as we inch closer and closer to Revolution, and the more that you run your mouth, I can’t help but get the feeling it’s becoming personal.”
Swerve tells Joe that when Joe won the title, Joe said… The fans cheer as Swerve seems to need a second to think. Swerve then says Joe said that the new championship protocol was about people showing up with their reputation and with their resumes. And also that hunger is what defines the greats. Well then if you look at Swerve, you’re looking at one of the greatest of all time. Fans cheer that! “No one out hustles me, no one out works me, and no one out grinds me. So you need to check my resume, and while you’re at it, you should proceed to put some respect on it, as well.” Fans cheer for that!
Swerve says 15 YEARS, he’s been grinding up and down, all in the hopes that somebody would one day see Swerve and go, “Y’know what? One day, Swerve might go down as one of the best int he world currently. Maybe one day.” Swerve then says after this past year, he’s proven that today is that day! He’s gone toe to toe with former world champions, and with some of the best legends AEW has to offer. The same thing every time: Swerve is left standing, and the fans have only one thing on their mind: “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” And at Revolution, nothing changes! Except for one thing: the fact that Swerve will be holding the title above his head.
But then Hangman Page storms out shouting, “Hold on, hold on, hold on!” The fans are torn as The Cowboy says hey, first off, he wants to set the record straight! After last week’s match, he wasn’t mad. So when you write your weekly Dynamite reports, don’t put “Hangman was mad.” But everyone already knows that last week was BS! The fans are torn again, but Joe actually nods and agrees. Hangman says he signed a contract for a match to determine THE #1 contender to the World Championship, and the winner would be the contender. Swerve couldn’t do it! THIRTY MINUTES, and Swerve couldn’t do it!
So if this were up to Hangman, at Revolution, the match would be between two men who value and respect that title and everything that it stands for. Fans boo but Hangman says unfortunately, he doesn’t make the matches. So Swerve, you were “added” to this match. So Hangman wants to say something eye to eye and Swerve needs to hear it. Swerve says, “We gonna do this again?” Hangman says after everything Swerve has done to him, Swerve doesn’t deserve one second of Hangman’s time. Swerve doesn’t deserve for Hangman to give him five more minutes because he couldn’t get the job done! And Swerve does NOT deserve to be in this championship match!
But Joe steps in now. Back up, knock off the charades. This walking domestic dispute ends tonight! Joe knows what this is about. Each man thinks they can beat the other and just walk over Joe, but that’s not gonna happen! As far as they’re both concerned, he is Samoa Joe, and he’ll whoop both y’all’s asses!! Joe throws down his mic and storms out. Hangman and Swerve continue to argue, but will the numbers NOT spell disaster for Joe at Revolution?
Timeless Toni Storm presents… Wet Ink.
A beatnik jazz form of Seven Nation Army plays as the AEW Women’s World Champion asks, “What does this tuh-too remind me of? It reminds me of a girl I befriended because I felt sorry for her. A girl so naive, so needy, so desperate to make it, that she had my pity. You were my Young Girl, I showed you my ways. I brought you into Japan, I helped you sign a contract. I nurtured you on my bosom of brilliance, you suckled on my teet of talent. And now, you bit the tit that feeds you!” Storm is now in a tuh-too, er, uh, tattoo parlor with Luther and Mariah May, as she gets something put OVER the commemorative tattoo she and Deonna Purrazzo both have!
Storm continues to narrate, “Somewhere along the way, you forgot who you were. Thought you were the star of this story instead of just an extra. You want the old Toni Storm? Oh, you’ll get the old Toni Storm, and so much more. What do you do when you can’t change the past? You kill it!” The new tattoo? It’s a KNIFE going through the ducky!
Deonna Purrazzo responds.
Renee Paquette is now with The Virtuosa, having finished watching Wet Ink with the rest of us. Renee isn’t sure how she feels, so she can’t even imagine Deonna’s feelings. Deonna says that Toni Storm is what her family would call a yakkity yon. AKA, she talks too much. So Deonna will keep this short and sweet: “Toni, I’m gonna break your arm, b*tch!!” The leading lady may have crossed a line putting a dagger through Deonna’s heart, but will she lose that belt around her waist?
The Young Bucks step out of their stretch SUV.
They still haven’t changed out of the blood-soaked suits, and all they’ve done to prepare for their match is wrap their fists! Matthew Jackson says they’re gonna put on another banger, but are they taking the Air Wolf & Angel Dorado a little too lightly?
The Young Bucks VS Top Flight w/ Action Andretti!
The teams sort out and Nicholas starts against Dante. The fans rally for Top Flight as Dante stares Nick down. They tie up, Nick wrenches and wristlocks, but Dante goes to ropes.

The ref sees that, Nick argues with him about it, but Matt pop-up LOW BLOWS Darius! Fans boo as the ref misses the bigger cheat! Tag to Nick, and the Bucks sit Darius up for E V P TRIGGER!! Cover, The Bucks win!
Winner: The Young Bucks, by pinfall
The abuse of power continues, but so does the Bucks’ chase after the AEW World Tag Team Championships. Tony Schiavone then joins Matthew Braun John & Nicholas Lee Jackson in the ring. He notes the big win, and Matt says “Undefeated this year, Nicholas! Holy crap! I think that makes us the top, unbeatable tag team in AEW.” Fans boo but Matt says he has reason to believe that after beating a team the quality of Top Flight, a great team really, it is safe to assume that The Bucks are the NEW #1 contenders! Wow, there’s already a graphic for that… Fans boo but Schiavone says Sting isn’t here to respond, because of the despicable, heinous act by-
Oh, despicable?! Heinous!? You guys just can’t stop yourselves! Matt has to sit at his desk every week and hear Schiavone talk trash on the Bucks! Every single week! Hey, Matt has to think that this might be a breach of contract! Publicly disparaging the EVPs?! That is unacceptable, bush league, and we all know it! Nicholas says that is a ONE THOUSAND DOLLAR FINE! Does Schiavone have a problem with that? DOES HE HAVE A PROBLEM!? Nick shoulder bumps Schiavone off his feet!! Matt takes the mic back, apologizes for his “hothead” brother, this doesn’t need to get physical. Just don’t let it happen again, Schiavone.
The Bucks get Schiavone’s hands to help him up, into an E V P- NO! Darby is here!! He rushes down with Sting’s black baseball bat! He runs the Bucks out of the ring, grabs the mic and shouts at them, go ahead and remind everyone of the original mission statement of AEW. It was “Change the World.” When Darby was homeless, he begged the Bucks for a job, but they saw nothing in him. He sat by while The Bucks hired their sh*t friends! All their stupid California crew! But thank God that there was an EVP with a sense of brains back then. And we ain’t talking Kenny Omega! Fans chant for “CODY! CODY!”
Darby says The Bucks did their little interview why they stuck with AEW. Why was that? It was because the schedule was light and the money was good, NOT because they wanted to change the world! Seems the original mission is dead! So much for this being AEW! This is All Friendship Wrestling. Think of that first episode: No Darby! But Brandon Cutler was there! What even!? Darby isn’t sure what kind of tussles the Bucks got into while they were homeschooled, but we’re talking Sting’s final match! The Bucks want to be Sting’s final opponents? Then they don’t know what they got themselves into.
We’re talking about a man who’s got nothing left to lose. Young Bucks VS Darby & Sting for the AEW World Tag Team Championships? “IT’S SHOWTIME~!” Darby says if the Bucks want it, they’ve got it! Will the Bucks take those titles off the Relentless Icons? Or will they get what they deserve instead?
Backstage interview with The Bang Bang Scissor Gang.
Renee Paquette is with Jay White, The Acclaimed & The Gunns, and says it seems things are going smoothly for these six. The merch looks great, too. So what is next for the super group? Well, Austin wants to welcome us to the BBSG Lounge! Bowens gives Renee a rose for Valentine’s Day, very sweet. Bowens then signals for Austin & Colten to keep cool, it’s just plutonic. Jay says back to the question, what is the goal for them? Well as she said, they’re running smoothly, have momentum, new merch, gold on all the waists, shoulders and in their possession. But they still need to test their cohesiveness in the ring.
Billy has an idea! How about this Friday- Austin cuts Daddy Ass off by suggesting a 12 Man Tag for Rampage! No one responds. Or… and this is totally Billy’s idea, a 12 Man Tag for Rampage! Everyone loves that idea! Billy says no big deal, he’s been doing this for awhile. Bowens says great idea, and BBSG rules the world! Because EVERYONE loves The Acclaimed, BANG BANG! And if you’re not down with that, they’ve got two words for ya: GUNS UP! A massive open challenge is now set, what set of six will step to Platinum Max, Five Tool Bowens, Daddy Ass, his sons, and the Switchblade for Rampage?
PROGRAMMING REMINDER for Rampage!
Because of NBA All-Star Weekend, Rampage will be on much earlier, 7 PM Eastern, with an encore after NBA coverage at 11 PM Eastern, so make sure your DVR is set accordingly!
Willow Nightingale w/ Kris Statlander & Stokely Hathaway VS Skye Blue w/ Julia Hart!
The Babe with the Power used to be friends with Chicago Skye before Julia Hart stained her with the black mist. This is the first time they’ve ever been opponents, can Willow bring herself to crush Skye? Or will the House Always Win?
In an odd move, Kris sees Willow and Stokely off then returns to the back. Perhaps she wants to see if her friend and her manager can coexist without her as the buffer. Stokely joins commentary, the bell rings and the fans rally for Willow. Skye runs up to SHOTGUN Willow! Skye fires off in the corner, the ref counts, and Skye lets off. Skye storms up to whip but Willow handsprings through! Willow then scoops and SLAMS Skye, covers, ONE! Willow huffs and scoops but Skye slips free to dragon sleeper! But Willow picks Skye up to SLAM her again! Skye stands, dodges, and SLAPS Willow! Fans boo but Willow says okay then!
Willow bumps Skye off buckles, bumps her off more buckles, then bumps her off a third! Skye bails out, fans boo, but Stokely likes what he sees. Willow storms out to chase Skye around the ring, then back in. Skye keeps moving, but Willow gets around to shove, run and POUNCE! PERIOD! Skye tumbles right out to the floor and the fans fire up as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Willow fumes while Skye flounders to a corner. Willow goes out to SMACK Skye off railing, then stomps her down. Willow SMACKS Skye off the apron, then whips her, only for Skye to reverse and POST Willow! Willow falls and clutches her head, but Skye storms up to stomp her down! Skye CLUBS Willow, stalks her, then pushes her into the ring. Skye stalks Willow, stomps her again, then CLUBS away on Willow’s back! Skye pushes Willow to a cover, TWO! Skye is frustrated, but she bumps Willow off buckles. Skye digs her boot in, waves hi and blows kisses, but Willow pushes Skye away. Skye comes back to fire forearms!
Skye snapmares Willow and KICKS her in the back! Skye paces around Willow, stands her up, but Willow blocks the suplex to suplex back! Willow storms up but Skye YANKS her into ropes! Skye runs in to BOOT WASH her! Skye then pushes Willow down, covers, TWO! Skye is frustrated and she SLAPS Willow. willow ROCKS Skye! Skye BOOTS Willow! Willow goes to ropes, Skye storms up to CLUB her on the back, then puts her in a corner to stomp away! The ref counts, Skye lets off and paces around. Skye goes back for Willow, brings her around and ROCKS her with a right hand! Willow snarls and she ROCKS Skye back!
Dynamite returns to single picture as the forearms go back and forth! The fans are on Willow’s side but Skye gets the edge! Willow blocks a shot, runs, but into a SUPERKICK! Skye roars, runs, but Willow blocks the boot to LARIAT! And LARIAT! Stokely again likes what he sees as Willow rallies with more shots! Skye goes to a corner, Willow runs up to back body block! Then LARIAT, then snapmare! Skye staggers up, into a BOOT! Willow drags Skye up, whips her again and hits the SPINEBUSTER! High stack, TWO! Skye survives but Willow stays on her with the gut wrench! Skye slips free, ducks a lariat and wrenches to a JAWBREAKER!
Skye SUPERKICKS, then BASEMENT DDTS! Cover, TWO!! Willow survives, but Skye gets her up into a full nelson! Willow fights free of that with elbows, then fireman’s carries! But Skye slips into a DRAGON SLEEPER BACKPACK! Willow endures, fans rally up, and Willow RAMS Skye into buckles! Stokely says Julia Hart’s TBS Championship is gonna be in trouble! Willow is free, runs in, but Skye slips to the outside. Willow still ROCKS Skye first, but then Skye avoids the shoulder! Willow avoids the boot and BLASTS Skye to the floor! The fans fire up with Willow and Stokely says even he’s all fired up!
Willow fetches Skye, puts her in the ring, and then stalks Skye to the corner. Willow hoists Skye up top, the fans rally behind her as she climbs, but Skye throws body shots! Skye slips under Willow, tucks her in, CHEEKY NANDOS! And then a FALLING POWERBOMB! High stack, TWO!! Willow survives and Skye shrieks in frustration! Stokely says he’s had enough of this, and he storms off of commentary. Skye runs, hops on, CODE BLUE! But Stokely distracts the ref!! Skye would’ve won by now! Skye is furious and shouts at the ref, the ref finally counts, TWO!! Willow has the cover, TWO!
Skye runs up, Willow dodges, and Willow mule kicks! Gut wrench, BABE WITH THE POWERBOMB!! Cover, Willow wins!
Winner: Willow Nightingale, by pinfall
#BigStoke gave a big assist to his other client, and he fist bumps with Willow. Will Stokely be right about the Princess of the Black Throne losing her crown one way or another?

Truly a one of a kind trios match, but will RVD and the FTW Champion help The Cowboy get a big win over all his enemies? Or will the AEW World Champion be able to get along with Swerve’s House?
Texas Death Match: Orange Cassidy VS Matt Taven!
With things escalating between Best Friends and the Undisputed Kingdom, yet Roderick Strong still wanting to wait until Revolution, the only way Freshly Squeezed can get revenge is by proxy! Will Cassidy crush one of the pawns on the way to the title match? Or will the AEW International Champion get beat to a pulp in the main event?
The bell rings and Cassidy runs right up! He and Taven brawl and the fans fire up! Taven shoves, Cassidy dodges and SHOTGUNS! Cassidy kips up and he stands off with Taven. Taven waves to the ramp, but that’s a fake out so Taven can CLOBBER Cassidy from behind! Taven CHOPS Cassidy to a corner, ROCKS him with a right, then whips corner to corner. Cassidy reverses, Taven goes up and over then keeps moving. Cassidy hurdles, keeps moving, but Taven DROPKICKS him down! Fans boo Taven but he says “III’M Matt Taven!” Taven CHOPS Cassidy, CHOPS him again, and then whips corner to corner.
Cassidy reverses, Taven goes under, ENZIGIRIS back, then hoists Cassidy up, a hard BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cassidy flops out of the ring, the standing count starts, but Taven storms after him. Cassidy is up at 4 of 10, Taven RAMS him into railing! Taven SMACKS Cassidy off steel steps, then whips him into more railing! Cassidy slumps down but Taven drags him back up. The fans cheer Cassidy on but Taven ROCKS Cassidy again. Fans want tables but Cassidy sends Taven into railing! Cassidy whips Taven hard into more railing, then storms up on him. The fans fire up as Cassidy whips again, but Taven reverses!
Cassidy LEAPS over the railing clean! The fans fire up, and then Cassidy puts his hands in his pockets! Taven is furious, he hurries out after Cassidy, but into a BOOT! Cassidy CLUBS Taven, CLUBS him again, then brings him into the crowd with haymakers! The fans fire up while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Cassidy brings Taven up the bleachers with a headlock, throws some hands, then keeps bringing Taven along. Taven SMACKS Cassidy with someone’s water bottle! The brawling continues up to the second level, and Taven CHOPS! Taven stalks Cassidy, throws more hands, then ROCKS him. Taven shoves Cassidy down the bleachers to return to the ground level. Taven SMACKS Cassidy off barriers, then brings him along for more CHOPS! They end up near the stage now, and Taven SMACKS Cassidy off light trusses! The standing count starts, Cassidy rises up, but Taven has found a table! Taven sets that up right over an AEW logo.
Taven storms up on Cassidy, ROCKS him with a right, but Cassidy ROCKS Taven in return! Cassidy fires more hands but Taven knees low! Taven SMACKS Cassidy off the table, then follows him as he staggers around. Taven brings Cassidy back around, SMACKS him off the table again, then pushes him onto it. Taven throws down more hands, then talks trash to the fans. Especially the kid cosplaying Cassidy. Taven throws down more hands, then he goes up onto the stage! Taven soaks up the heat, talks more trash, probably calls them all Melvins, and Dynamite returns to single picture. Taven takes aim, to MACHO ELBOW through the table!
Fans lose their minds as both men fall with the table, the table is really more dented than broken. The standing count starts all the same, and Taven drags the table over to prop it up against the ramp! Cassidy stands at 8 of 10, so Taven reels him in! Snap suplex through the table! Cassidy writhes, his forehead is a bit bloody, and the count begins again. Taven paces but Cassidy stands at 6 of 10! Taven ROCKS Cassidy, pushes him onto the ramp, then lines up the shot. JUST THE TIP of the knee! Taven tells the fans off, then wants the count. The count begins, but Cassidy rises pretty fast! So Taven is on him already, to push him into the ring.
Taven storms up on Cassidy, scoops him, and hits a BACKBREAKER! And then a flip around into a DDT!! Cassidy is down, the count begins, and some fans are stunned he’s still moving! Taven finds another table! Taven brings that up, and props it against the commentary desk!? Cassidy DIVES, but Taven narrowly avoids the table he set up! The count is now on Taven while Cassidy has a crimson mask forming. Cassidy puts Taven in, but Taven hits the springboard FLYING CHUCK! Cassidy wobbles, flops off the apron, and Taven builds speed! Taven WRECKS Cassidy, but Cassidy doesn’t fall!
Cassidy wobbles, he leans on the table and marks it with his blood. Taven builds speed again, and he FLIES, through the table!!! Cassidy avoids disaster and the fans lose their minds! Commentary can barely be heard, their own desk taking some damage in that crash! Cassidy staggers his way over while the count is climbing. Taven rises up, he’s bloodied now, and he stands at 9.5!! “This is Awesome!” as Cassidy has… A box of chocolates? The card reads “To: OC. From: Chuckie T. XOXO.” The Kentucky Gentleman left a Valentine’s Day gift for his buddy and the fans fire up! Cassidy takes the gift into the ring, opens it up, and surprise! It’s not candy, but THUMBTACKS!!
The fans are thunderous as Cassidy drags Taven up a corner! Taven throws body shots to resist, then he adjusts. Taven SHOVES Cassidy onto the tacks!! Cassidy writhes, and Taven adjusts, FROG SPLASH onto tacks!! Cassidy avoids disaster again and then runs, tilt-o-whirl DDT onto the tacks!! The fans lose their minds as both men continue to lose blood! Cassidy staggers up, Taven is still down, the count begins. Cassidy goes out, to get a steel chain!? And then an even bigger heart shaped box!? But then Mike Bennett rushes out here to CLOBBER Cassidy! It was only a matter of time before The Kingdom stopped playing fair!
Bennett gets that box, and he SMASHES it right on Cassidy’s head! Bennett puts Cassidy in while the fans boo, and Bennett puts chair after chair into the ring! Taven flounders around, the ref reprimands Bennett but there’s nothing to stop this! The chairs are a pile, but wait! Here comes Trent Beretta! And much like Arnold in Terminator 2, he has a box of roses, that he then pulls a weapon out of! It’s a steel pipe! Bennett has a chair, he takes a swing, but Trent dodges to CLOBBER Bennett with the pipe! But Taven CHUCKS a chair into Trent! Taven hoists Trent to the top rope, drapes him out, FULL METAL CLIMAX!!
But ORANGE PUNCH for Taven!! And then BEACH BREAK onto tacks and chairs!!! Taven writhes but Cassidy isn’t done with him! Taven RIPS the pockets away!? Fans boo, that’s like taking a luchador’s mask! Cassidy wraps that chain around his fist, and because “IIIIIIII’M Matt Taven!” FULL METAL ORANGE PUNCH!!! Taven is down, the count begins, but here comes Roddy! Roddy aims at Cassidy, STRONG KNEE into Trent!! Trent takes the bullet for Cassidy, and Taven is still floundering around at 8 of 10! Taven is DOWN, Cassidy wins!!
Winner: Orange Cassidy, by technical knockout
The International Champion’s Best Friends came through for him and they thwarted The Undisputed Kingdom! But with Revolution fast approaching, is Cassidy going to stand a chance against the Savior of the Backbreaker?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Dynamite here, lots of big stuff going down. Toni Storm’s Wet Ink was very well done, clearly she’s been given a bigger budget compared to her early films because of how successful she’s been. And what a powerful move to (I assume legitimately) change her tattoo to stick it to Deonna. Speaking of powerful moves, Callis making Takeshita VS Ospreay happen for the hell of it, that’s going to be an awesome match. And it makes me think Ospreay and Fletcher are gonna break away from the Don Callis Family to get some United Empire stuff going in AEW. Then they can make it DCF VS Empire if they’re moving away from Jericho (and they probably should be).
Just as I was wondering why Bang Bang Scissor Gang wasn’t doing much, they show up to have a group promo and it was a lot of fun. A 12 Man Tag is going to be nuts, and it’ll certainly be like three different jobber tag teams like Outrunners, The Workhorsemen and Butcher & Blade because of course BBSG is winning. I would really hope one of the tag teams (Ass Boys or Acclaimed) call out The Kingdom’s Taven & Bennett for an ROH World Tag Team Championship match, and for the love of pro-wrestling, get these guys on ROH since Bullet Club Gold are the ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions!
Moxley VS Dax was an awesome opener, great win for Moxley, and clearly BCC is turning Heel since FTR is sticking to Face. The tag match next week will be awesome, too, surely setting up the winners as tag title contenders for after Revolution. And of course we were officially given Darby & Sting VS Bucks for Revolution. Great tag match from Bucks VS Top Flight, and pretty good “abuse” of EVP authority for “Matthew & Nicholas” to use a simple 2-0 win streak as justification for the top spot. Darby had a great promo slamming the Bucks as sellouts, and now that the match is official, it is going to be awesome stuff.
Great match from Edge VS Garcia, but I should’ve figured it’d get “ruined” by The Patriarchy. It was ruled No Contest so that there wouldn’t be someone crowned the winner by disqualification, but after the Con-Chair-To to Edge, it feels like they might give Garcia the Revolution match. I say that because there shouldn’t be a Triple Threat, that’d make this too much like the world title story. Meanwhile, I don’t see Garcia winning the TNT Championship unless Edge thwarts Luchasaurus & Nick Wayne getting involved, maybe even Matt Menard since he stood up to Christian only to get knocked down by Luchasaurus. Honestly, I’d love if Garcia did win the title, then Christian VS Edge can be just about the grudge.
And speaking of the world title story, great promo from Joe, Hangman and Swerve. Seems we’ve gotten the double turn of Hangman and Swerve, despite Swerve doing what he did. But that is just how pro-wrestling works, where things are forgiven by the fans when the Heel turns Face. All that aside, the Six Man Tag set up for next week is going to be interesting because of how Hangman is becoming a Heel but RVD and Hook are still Faces, and then it’s hard to really say where Joe, Swerve and Cage are on the Heel-Face spectrum. Feels like RVD is taking the loss though, with Hook and Cage needing to be strong going into their FTW Championship match and of course Joe, Hangman & Swerve needing to stay even for their own title match.
Really good match from Willow VS Skye, and I find it interesting Stokely has come around to Willow so quickly. He helps her get the win, hard to say if she knew that or not, but it definitely feels like Willow and Kris will have to fight if either wants a shot at Julia and the TBS title. And then awesome main event in that Texas Death Last Man Standing Match. Matt Taven may be like if The Miz never went Hollywood with his gimmick, but he is still really good in the ring, proved himself in ROH, so him and Cassidy was the right move for the match. Still wish they’d be careful with blood, feels like Cassidy’s blading was overdone. And of course it got overbooked but great win for Cassidy here to keep himself going strong towards Revolution.
My Score: 9/10

Winner: MJF, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
The Scumbag found a new way to survive, denying Knight his ticket to LA. However, that means he still has to face Hangman in a Texas Death Match! But MJF TOSSES the ref, because he aims with the Dynamite Diamond Ring! BUT WAIT! Hangman is here! The Cowboy tells MJF to back down now, but MJF dares Hangman to do something about it!

Darby Allin & Orange Cassidy VS The Dogs!
The Relentless One promised Gabe Kidd & Clark Connors, this doesn’t end with him six feet under, this ends with him putting them down! Freshly Squeezed joined the fight on behalf of Tomohiro Ishii, but will he and Darby put an end to the Mad Man & 100 Proof? Or will they not be as #WarReady as these Dogs?

Or does he want a selfie? Maybe they can take one now.
Andrade takes out his phone, but it turns out someone is calling him. See you at Revolution. Andrade walks off to answer the call, but will he learn the hard way to take Bandido seriously?
The Brawling Birds VS The IInspiration!

The bell rings and both men run up, only for Hangman to BOOT Snow down! Then Hangman goes right to the apron, slingshot and BUCKSHOT! Cover, HANGMAN WINS!
Winner: Hangman Page, by pinfall
Did that just set a record!? Hangman puts his jacket back on and grabs a mic to say, “Hey, look. I’ma make this short, cuz his ass ain’t the one I wanted to beat tonight. MAX! I have put my entire future at stake for the chance to do what your parents should’ve done nearly 30 years ago, and taught you a lesson. For years, you have sneered and you have scoffed at me for having what I think is a basic human conscience. But let me warn you: In Texas Death, I have no conscience! Max, I will rip you, I will tear you, and I will only let you lie when I am finished with you. And Max, you are the world champion, so surely, that doesn’t scare you.
“You’ve already shown that you are itching to punch someone in the head with your diamond ring, so why don’t you slip it back on your pinkie, get your dumbass out here now, and show me what good that will do you at Revolution!” The fans cheer that, but MJF says, “Alright, alright, pipe down, pipe down. It’s bad enough I gotta be in this C Tier town, El Paso. But clearly, clearly you’re not very bright, Hangman! Did you not just see me beat your boy, Kevin Knight’s ass? Huh? You all saw it, right? It’s bad enough I gotta listen to you yap next week at the press conference, don’t make me come down there and whoop your ass, too, Cowboy.”
The fans boo, but Hangman says if he’s not gonna do it, then- OH NO! Kyle Fletcher, Kazuchika Okada, and Mark Davis attack Hangman!! The fans boo but MJF gets to smile at Hangman’s pain now. Davis has an ANKLE LOCK on Hangman while Okada & Fletcher stomp away on Hangman! They get Hangman up, CHOKE him on the ropes, then Davis hits the REBOUNDER! The fans boo but Kyle mockingly asks if Hangman liked that. But here comes JetSpeed! Bailey & Knight run the Don Callis Family’s heavy hitters with chairs, but then the Jackal himself appears! Accompanied by Lance Archer, Callis has a mic in hand.
The fans cuss Callis out, but he says, “I have something important to say!” The fans boo, but Callis says he sees Jet Set Rodeo in the ring, and he sees three champions, but he also sees three greedy, entitled Millennial punks! It’s not enough that they have the trios titles, but Hangman wants the world title, Knight wants Okada’s International title, and Speedball, “you little French Canadian puke,” wants after the great Kyle Fletcher and his TNT title. How much is enough? One thing Callis hates is a greedy guy. All he’s heard is about what Jet Set Rodeo wants, but he wants us all to be quiet so he can talk. The fans just boo harder! Callis says be quiet so he can tell you what CALLIS wants!
Callis couldn’t help but hear on Collision last Saturday, what was the term they used? “Any place, any time.” Jet Set Rodeo said they’d defend those titles any place and any time. Well, he has a very important to announcement! See, when he heard that, he got to thinking. He just recently left a conversation with Tony Khan. So any place, any time? The place is EL PASO! The time is TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT! The AEW World Trios Champions WILL defend those titles against Mark Davis, Kyle Fletcher & Kazuchika Okada! And after they beat Jet Set Rodeo, the trios titles will belong to DON BAH GAWD CALLIS!!
The fans boo, but the fight IS official! Knight is already banged up from losing to MJF, can he, Bailey & Hangman possibly survive Dunkzilla, Protostar & Rainmaker?
Sit-down interview with The Young Bucks and FTR.
Renee Paquette is already in the boardroom with Matt & Nick Jackson, Brandon Cutler helping film this, but they’re the only ones on time. How’re they feeling? Nick says he’s a bit beat up, but- Oh, now Cash Wheeler, Dax Harwood & Stokely Hathaway arrive, #BigStoke still in his wheelchair. Stoke asks Renee to move over for him. Renee obliges though The Bucks take offense. Renee has everyone calm down, they already signed the No Physicality Agreement for this. Dax says he’s fine, it’s on The Bucks. The AEW World Tag Team Champions take their seats, and Dax says it’s wild to think about. The greatest tag teams of the 21st Century: The Briscoes, The Bucks, and FTR.
Now, FTR bested The Briscoes two-outta-three, and FTR are #DemBoys’ greatest rivals, so… Dax’s thought is, when they best The Bucks again at Revolution, FTR goes down as THE greatest tag team of the millennium! Cash points out that FTR are THREE-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions, but The Bucks are also THREE-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions, so Revolution will finally be chapter closed, book finished, only one will be the best. Nick says yeah, okay, we can go back and forth about accomplishments, but this time is a little different. And do they know why? Because FTR put their hands on the Jackson family!
FTR hit a piledriver on their brother! FTR pushed and shoved their parents! Cash claims self-defense, but Nick knows that’s crap. At Revolution, it won’t be only about winning the titles back, but about revenge for their family! Matt brings up how The Jackson Family was simply ringside when FTR did what they did. Matt’s kids, Nick’s kids, how they felt, it is taking The Bucks everything they have in their souls to not just reach across this desk and beat the living SH*T outta FTR! But it’s okay, it’s okay. They won’t do that now.
No, they’ll do that in Los Angeles at Revolution, in front of their family so they can see The Bucks destroy FTR and leave them in a puddle of piss and blood, when The Bucks take the titles for a record breaking fourth time! Cash says he hopes the family is there, too. Then FTR can teach them another lesson! Things get heated again, Renee has them calm down again, but Cash say The Bucks are clearly not mature enough to handle this rationally. FTR will show themselves out and remove themselves from this troubling situation. Dax says The Bucks are so lucky about the No Physicality Agreement. But uh, Cutler wasn’t part of it.
Dax DECKS Cutler!! The Bucks are angry again, but they check on Cutler. FTR keeps turning up the heat, but will they be the ones burned?

Brody King is here!
The King of Death doesn’t really worry about his entrance music, he just grabs a mic on his way into the ring. El Paso barks with him before he says, “SWERVE! You know, I could be like you. I could stand on that announce table for half an hour, telling everybody just how dangerous I am. But I don’t need to do that, because I KNOW that I am the most dangerous man in AEW! So why don’t you get your ass out here and I can prove that tonight!” The fans like that idea! But Prince Nana shows up to tell Brody, “I hear you, alright? I hear you loud and clear. But are you sure you wanna do this, my friend? Are you sure you wanna go down that rabbit hole with the man himself? Are you sure about that, Brody?”
Brody says quit talking, Nana, and bring Swerve’s ass out here. Nana laughs and says okay. “Without further interruption, ladies and gentlemen… May I introduce to you the REAL Most Dangerous Man in AEW… SWERVE! STRICKLAND!” Nana laughs an evil laugh while the music begins, but Swerve doesn’t enter from the stage! HE ATTACKS FROM BEHIND! Swerve uses his chain to BEAT BRODY DOWN!

It’s one thing talking about being the Most Dangerous Man, it’s another actually doing it! And I’m about that action. So guess what? I will be seeing you in LA at Revolution! For your information, and a little reminder, I humbled a man in LA, too.” But then BANDIDO runs out here!
Swerve gets clear before The Outlaw can get at him! The fans boo Swerve but he just smiles seeing what he did to Brody. Will Swerve do far worse to put Brody down for good?
The Death Riders speak.
Daniel Garcia says that’s what they like every single week! Don Callis Family, are you stupid or are you dumb? When you gonna stop picking fights you cannot win!? Wheeler Yuta has Garcia step aside, and Yuta shows off the bald head. “Get a good look, okay?! Losing my hair was the darkest moment of my career. But the Death Riders are the reason I’m not wallowing in my misery. They’re the reason I’m prepared every day for war! Cuz I know when I walk in that arena, and there are thousands of people screaming hurtful, mean, terrible things at me, trying to kick my ass, I know the people I care about most in the world have my back. Through loss, I have freedom.”
Marina then calls out Toni Storm again. “You better shoot from the hip and make me laugh, for your sake. You p*ssy!” Moxley says they all are, aren’t there? A bunch of punk asses! Don Callis Family, CMLL, was THAT the baddest hombre you got? NJPW, all these advertising agencies that got into pro-wrestling! NOBODY does it like they do! No team is like this team! No one is willing to go as long and as far as them! Takeshita, at Revolution, it’s just you and Moxley. And they’re gonna go as long as it takes. They’re gonna see this through all the way to the end. The Death Riders head out, will they take everyone out along the way?

The fans boo, and Kris CHUCKS a guard aside! Kris storms into the ring but Thekla’s already in retreat! The Cosmic Killer couldn’t protect Rosa, but will she be the one to avenge her now?
Jack Perry speaks.
“Last week, to cap off Mile High Madness, I pinned Ricochet for the third time. Now, every time the odds have been even, I beat you. But every time that it’s really counted, instead of fighting me man to man, you and The Gates of Agony have found a way to cheat. We both won battles. Pretty soon, it’s gonna be time for you and I to finish the war.”
Ricochet responds.
The One & Only tells Jack to listen: “Ya boi been jet-setting! I am the most fighting champion in AEW, brother! So if it’s a fight that you want, if it’s a war that you want, then a war you got. Because when you are in Demand, you can make demands.” Kaun adds, “And if you don’t meet our demands…” Toa Liona finishes with, “YOU GET PUT DOWN!” AHA~! Then when and where will Ricochet and Jack Perry finally settle the score?
On-stage interview with Tommaso Ciampa.
Renee Paquette introduces the Psycho Killer, and El Paso cheers as he makes his entrance. Ciampa is fired up like his pyro, and Renee says he has been so impressive here in AEW. An instant classic with Mark Briscoe to win the AEW TNT Championship, and then he unfortunately lost that title to Kyle Fletcher. What does Ciampa plan to do to get back on top? Ciampa says let’s address the elephant in the room that is Kyle Fletcher. He took the title, he renamed it from Silvey to Pinkie, and gave her a makeover without Ciampa’s consent. Now Fletcher is hiding behind the Don Callis Family, hiding in tag matches and trios matches.
“Because Kyle Fletcher knows the second we run back Fletcher VS Ciampa, you are looking at your NEW TNT Champion.” The fans cheer that! Ciampa says if he has to play games, he’ll play games. And if that means he has to earn a rematch, he’ll do that. If that means he goes to war with Mark Briscoe one more time, he’ll do that, too. But make no mistake, he didn’t come to AEW for “instant classics.” He came here to be a top guy! The fans cheer that, and Renee brings up the history with Mark Briscoe. They go way back- Wait, FTR interrupts. Ciampa sighs and the fans boo as Cash & Dax make their way out.
Dax stares Ciampa down, then hugs him? Cash hugs him, too? Dax says they’re only here to welcome an old friend to AEW! And earlier, Ciampa said he wants to be a top guy? Well, what better way than to surround yourself with these Top Guys. Dax will extend an olive branch to Ciampa like he’s never done before. Dax would love if Ciampa would join them and take over AEW. The fans boo that idea, but Dax says c’mon, old friend. Ciampa says yeah, “old friend,” just what he was thinking. Because Ciampa hated FTR’s guts ten years ago, and he still hates them today. But no, hey, quiet, Stokely, the grown-ups are talking.
Dax has Ciampa hold on. It doesn’t matter how good of friends they were or were not, you do NOT speak to #BigStoke like that. And if Ciampa has a problem with Stoke, then he has a problem with FTR. Ciampa understands earlier tonight, FTR signed their No Physicality with The Bucks, but uh… Ciampa didn’t. He SMACKS Dax! Cash gets in Ciampa’s face but Dax has him back off! The fans cheer, but FTR cools down. Dax says he is not mad at Ciampa. But see you on Saturday. The AEW World Tag Team Champions already got on the wrong side of the Psycho Killer, but will Dax the Ax cut him down? Or will Ciampa make sure no one will survive this Collision?
Toni Storm has a cameraman follow her.
She busts into the medical trainer’s room and asks “Citrus Boy” what those Dogs did to him. Cassidy says, “A lot. Pretty sure I got put through a table, hit in the face with a shillelagh… Those dudes just wanna fight. And if they want to fight, then Darby and I will fight them. We’ll fight them at Revolution. But that’s not for another couple weeks, so we’re also gonna fight next week. And then we’ll fight all the weeks after that. We’ll fight, we’ll just fight ’em.” Toni says that’s well said, Clementine. But hear this! Where there are War Dogs, there are Death Riders not far behind.
So then there’s no better behind to be behind than her behind “if you’re a nicotine-chewing Nancy who wants her lips twisted, and her face fisted! Got it?!” Cassidy says, “Yeah…?” Now, can’t you tell he’s indisposed? Begone! The camera feed cuts, but will nothing and no one stop the TIMELESS Conglomeration from overcoming everyone in their way?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
Since Moxley has been facing Don Callis Family members again and again, Konosuke Takeshita proves he can take on Death Riders, too! The Alpha will battle Claudio Castagnoli this Saturday, will the NEW NJPW World TV Champion earn a golden ticket on the way to Revolution? Plus, after choking out Brody King, Swerve Strickland looks to send a message to Bandido, as well! Swerve takes on Bandido’s brother, Gravity! Will the Most Dangerous Man bring Gravity back down to earth?
And then, FTR’s focus on The Young Bucks might cost them again as The Rascalz have called their shot! They want the AEW World Tag Team Championships this Saturday! Will Dezmond Xavier & Zachary Wentz turn everything upside-down in Tucson? Or will Cash & Dax leave them high ‘n’ dry in the desert?
AEW World Trios Championships: Jet Set Rodeo VS Kazuchika Okada, Kyle Fletcher & Mark Davis!
While Hangman has been dead set on taking back the AEW World Championship, Kevin Knight & Mike Bailey have been talking up wanting a lot more gold.

Winners: Kazuchika Okada, Kyle Fletcher & Mark Davis, by pinfall (NEW AEW World Trios Champions)
MJF smiles and applauds his handywork as he costs Hangman and his friends. But will screwing Hangman over only add to the torture MJF is going to suffer through? And as for The Don Callis Family, will they continue to collect belt after belt until they reign over all of AEW?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite here, but AEW wouldn’t need to use the overrun every single week if they didn’t try to do EVERYTHING, even unnecessary promos, every single week! The show’s flow was doing so well, until FTR and The Bucks had their meeting in the boardroom. FTR are great in the ring but lately, their promos grind things to a halt. And what did this add other than FTR sucker punching Brandon Cutler? We know The Bucks are upset about FTR going after their family, they said so last time, AND it’s just obvious anyway. FTR confronting Ciampa was at least something fresh, a nice reference to their WWE days, and probably could’ve been the one FTR promo we got.
The promos with Brodido and their separate stories at least established the matches we knew were happening. Andrade being obnoxious to Bandido was good stuff, and Brody calling out Swerve only to get jumped and choked out was also good, especially for the heat. Swerve will of course beat Gravity, but the question is how badly. It’s equal parts a message to Bandido and Brody, so I wonder if we get Brodido VS Swerve & Andrade for a go-home Dynamite or Collision. Either way, I feel like Andrade and Swerve are each going to win their matches; Andrade needs to build momentum if he wants after MJF, and Swerve just started his Heel turn, he also needs to maintain momentum.
MJF VS Knight opening the show was rather surprising, but it makes sense now. It was an awesome match, Knight really establishing himself as a singles competitor, but of course MJF won. Though, Hangman didn’t need his own match, he could’ve just called MJF out when he showed up on stage. MJF could then clap back right there, and DCF could’ve jumped Hangman and JetSpeed right there. Then we still get the trios title main event, which honestly surprised me being an “impromptu match.” It was an awesome match, though they didn’t give as much Aussie Open moves as I’d hoped. But in the end, MJF screwing Hangman over was a fine way to protect the Faces in losing, but makes me think even more now that Hangman has to win at Revolution.
Perhaps part of the Don Callis Family winning the trios titles is so they can be given to the Death Riders. Great match from Moxley VS Hechicero, and of course Moxley won. I don’t think we needed that group promo from the Death Riders, since Marina snuck in her promo on Toni during Moxley’s entrance. But I suppose Yuta still had to speak on how he’s bald now but won’t let that be a source of shame. I could see Yuta, Garcia, and Pac going for the trios titles, but I don’t know if they’d be able to take those off Protokadaussie Open fair and square. Kyle VS Bailey being announced during the trios match was a bit sloppy, too, and I would think Kyle wins that, too.
Darby & Cassidy VS The Dogs was a great tag match, and while Darby & Cassidy won, the big surprise was David Finlay showing up. It wasn’t 100% guaranteed he was going to WWE but I at least thought there was a chance. But to be fair, he gets to be exactly the same Savage King David Finlay he was in NJPW by going to AEW, even joining up with his guys here. Depending on how they play this, a Conglomeration member like Mark Briscoe could join Darby and Cassidy in a Six Man Tag with the Dogs, but I also wonder where Roddy Strong fits into all this. Very good promo from Toni & Cassidy in response, and we have gotta get Toni VS Marina for Revolution.
The IInspiration losing to Brawling Birds in such jobber fashion was rather surprising. They didn’t get one good shot in on Jamie & Alex the entire time, and got stacked with the finisher. If they’re going to be All Elite now, they’re starting at the bottom after building up quite a bit of hype from their stop over in Stardom. Thekla VS Rosa was a great match, especially since they chose to keep everyone else in the back. But as I figured last week, Thekla was going to win this, so at least she did it cleanly. Kris failing to protect Rosa might mean Kris gets her rematch with Thekla at Revolution, but they’d have to put that together right away with this week’s Collision or the go-home Dynamite.

PLAY BY PLAY
MJF is here!
And he is in no mood, so he immediately has them cut his music. The fans boo but MJF says he’ll make something very clear. This show does not start until Revolution is rectified! He doesn’t know what people think he is! You think he’s some deathmatch indie bum!? He’s a REAL pro-wrestler! MJF is the best wrestler on the planet today! “Tony Khan, you get your bony ass out here right now and you change the stipulation of this match! I am NOT doing Texas Death, not a shot!” MJF again says Collision doesn’t start until something gets done! But instead of TK, he gets Kevin Knight! The Jet wags his finger at MJF as he goes down the ramp.
Knight steps into the ring and gets himself a mic to tell MJF, “Nice to see you, homie. I heard you in the back, talking about wanting to get something done. Well look no further than The Jet. Cuz if your narrow-minded ass hasn’t been paying attention the last couple of weeks, The Jet’s been getting the job done. Stacking W’s, getting the wins, and not to mention this past week on Dynamite, The Jet got the job done when you tried to weasel your ass out of that little stipulation. Do you remember that? We got the job done. Because now tonight, the job I’m getting done is shutting your whining ass up! You crybaby ass b*tch!”
The fans chant, “You’re a B*tch!” at MJF. Knight says to rectify this situation, don’t walk away from him. Because honestly, MJF comes out here and the people are tired of hearing that routine of how much better you are than them. How much money he’s got, when we all know that scarf is fake. Because when we compare the two, Knight dresses better, he has more swag than that fat ass head could ever imagine, and not to mention, MJF knows it, the people in Denver know it, the people all around the world know it: The Jet is more handsome than MJF, too! The fans cheer and MJF laughs it off, but Knight says that’s neither here nor there.
To the matter at hand, it sounds like Jet may even be a better world champion than MJF, too. So not only is The Jet the future, he is the here and now! The fans cheer but MJF looks confused. MJF says listen up, “you ignorant, arrogant child.” Knight thinks he’s a champion? He thinks he’s world championship material? He wants to tell MJF, #BigHebrew, how to do his job? No no no no no! Tell ya what, bud. Knight calls himself The Jet? Get on a jet, and fly on to El Paso, Texas. If Knight wants to be world champion, then MJF VS Knight Knight, El Paso, for the Triple B! The fans boo but MJF says no, MJF is glad Knight is smiling.
MJF promises to teach Knight a lesson. Yes, Knight is not the future, or even the now. After MJF’s done with him, all Knight will be is history. MJF mic drops and storms off, but will he regret giving The Jet this golden ticket? Or will MJF survive Dynamite in the Borderland?
AEW hears from Mark Briscoe, Tommaso Ciampa, and Jay Lethal.
The Sussex County Chicken tells the Psycho Killer, “Old buddy, man, I’m glad you finally here. Because you are exactly the type of hard-hitting individual that I love to share the ring with. Gimme a chance to get my win back, but don’t lose your focus. Tonight, you got another friend of mine in Jay Lethal.” Ciampa says the universe has a funny way of working itself out. Ciampa and Lethal, that’s a story has always felt unfinished. Lethal says he beat Ciampa for the ROH World TV Championship, it catapulted him into being The Franchise of ROH. But this time, on Collision, it’ll be another career highlight.
Ciampa says the shadow of the past comes back to haunt Lethal. This is his first step back to the TNT Championship. Briscoe says let’s get it! Which icon of honor stand tall, and perhaps even in line for Kyle Fletcher’s gold?
8 Man Tag: The Death Riders VS Don Callis Family!
While Jon Moxley will battle the NEW NJPW World Television Champion, Konosuke Takeshita, at Revolution, the rest of their team is going to battle it out in the biggest bout yet! Will CMLL World Heavyweight Champion, Claudio Castagnoli, lead Daniel Garcia, Wheeler Yuta & PAC to another victory? Or will Josh Alexander, Lance Archer & Roppongi Vice remind us that #EverybodyDies?
Moxley is on commentary to say how he doesn’t like the Callis Family, what they stand for or how they operate. But at the same time, he acknowledges they’re a strong group, and this is turning into like the LA Lakers and Boston Celtics of old. Archer taunts Marina Shafir but she is stoic as Red Death starts against Rocky Romero. The bell rings, the two tie up, and they go around. Rocky waistlocks, Garcia wrenches to slip around and waistlock. Rocky powers Garcia back to ropes and the ref counts. Rocky lets off to give some Azucar Heat. The fans boo, Garcia runs up, but Rocky dodges the boot! Rocky kicks, Garcia ducks, then Garcia headlocks.
Rocky powers up and out, Garcia RUNS him over, but things keep moving, Rocky hurdles, but Garcia avoids the dropkick to basement DROPKICK! Garcia drags Rocky up, he tags Pac, and they double whip. They DOUBLE HIP TOSS, then Garcia adds a SLIDING FOREARM! Pac hits the STANDING MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO! Pac drags Rocky up, wrenches, but Rocky breaks free to tag Alexander. Pac tags Claudio, and now Swiss Cyborg and Walking Weapon meet again. They circle, feel things out, then Alexander kicks low to throw hands. Alexander headlocks, Claudio powers up, but they go around and around as Claudio tries to power out.
Alexander puts Claudio on ropes, but Claudio turns that around to whip Alexander. Claudio drops down, hurdles, but is caught! Claudio sunset flips, Alexander rolls through, but Claudio goes for legs! Alexander also goes for legs, but Claudio floats to a gut wrench! The fans cheer as Alexander flails, only for Claudio to GUT WRENCH PLEX! Alexander scrambles to ropes, and he tags in the Murderhawk Monster. The fans cheer as Archer talks trash on Claudio. Alexander then gets a cheap shot! Archer DECKS Claudio, puts him in the corner, and he fires hands! Alexander runs corner to corner to ELBOW!
Archer keeps going, he hits another ELBOW! And another ELBOW! Archer lets Claudio fall to his knees, then he tags Rocky. Rocky tags Trent, and RPG Vice double whip corner to corner. But Claudio comes back to DOUBLE LARIAT! Trent bails out, Rocky follows, and Yuta reaches out. Claudio tags Yuta in and the fans boo. The Decoder builds speed, but Alexander trips him! The fans cheer as Alexander goes for the beanie! But Pac BOOTS Alexander down! Trent ROLLINGN ELBOWS Pac down! Trent goes for the beanie! But Garcia SAIDOS Trent away! Rocky runs up but Garcia fires forearms! Rocky kicks, Garcia blocks, then Garcia ducks the enzigiri, but not the REWIND HEEL!
Yuta swings but Rocky slips around, and wants the beanie! Claudio GUT WRENCHES Rocky outta the ring! But Archer CROSSBODIES Claudio down! There’s a brawl going on outside the ring, and Archer guzels Yuta! The fans cheer as Archer grabs for the beanie! Yuta stops that by BITING Archer’s finger! Archer still lifts for the CHOKE- NO, Yuta counters with a DDT! The fans fire up as Yuta builds speed and FLIES out onto everyone anyway! The fans cheer, the Death Riders high five, and Claudio SMACKS Archer off the desk! Moxley makes sure commentary is alright, then Death Riders put Trent in.
Yuta hits a snap suplex on Trent, covers, TWO! Tag to Pac and they mug #JustTrent. Pac SOBATS, KICKS, SOBATS, then runs to DROPKICK Trent down! Trent flounders to a corner but Pac runs in, and he BOOTS Trent! Pac snapmares Trent to go up the corner, but Rocky anchors a foot! Pac BOOTS Rocky away, but Trent YANKS Pac into a SAIDO! The fans boo but Trent tags Rocky. Rocky goes up, Trent hangs Pac out to dry, and Rocky DROPKICKS Pac down! Trent adds a DROPKICK of his own! RPG Vice high-five, then Rocky does his soccer slide celebration while Collision goes picture in picture.
Trent drags Pac over to stand on his neck and choke him! The ref counts, Trent backs off, and Rocky bumps Pac off buckles. Tag to Alexander and he fires hands on Pac! Alexander digs his boot into Pac, but he backs off as the ref counts. This just lets the others choke Pac behind the ref’s back! Alexander then drags Pac out for a standing toehold. Pac endures, keeps his shoulders up, then kicks away at Alexander. Alexander lets go of the foot, but comes back to CLOBBER Pac! Cover, TWO! Alexander drags Pac up, kicks low, then bump shim off buckles. Tag to Archer and he brings Pac around to CHOP in a corner.
Archer looms over Pac, then stands him up to CHOP again! Archer bumps Pac off buckles, tags Alexander back in, and they mug The Bastard some more. Alexander soaks up heat before he drags Pac up, then bumps him off buckles. Tag to Rocky and Rocky stomps Pac. Rocky soaks up heat while Collision returns to single picture. Rocky stands on Pac while he pulls on on arm! The ref reprimands but Alexander tags in. Alexander bumps Pac off buckles, then he grinds Pac’s face with a forearm. The ref counts, Alexander RAMS Pac, then Alexander snapmares Pac for a chinlock. Pac endures, the fans rally, and Pac fights up to fire body shots!
Alexander fireman’s carries to ROLLING SENTON! Alexander goes up the corner, jumps, but Pac avoids the knee! Alexander runs up but Pac dodges again, to SNAP GERMAN! Both men are down and the fans fire up! They crawl, but RPG Vice run in and BLAST The Death Riders! The fans boo but RPG Vice double whips Pac. Pac ducks ‘n’ dodges, ENZIGIRI for Trent! Rocky kicks low, runs, but into a scoop and BACKBREAKER! Pac is down again but the fans rally up again. Pac crawls, as does Alexander, hot tags to Trent and Claudio! The fans fire up as Claudio SWATS a lariat, then BOOTS Archer off the apron!
Claudio then UPPERCUTS away on Trent! Alexander storms up but Claudio hits him with UPPERCUTS! Claudio runs corner to corner to UPPERCUT Trent! Then UPPERCUT Alexander! Trent BOOTS back, but Claudio just trips up Alexander! GIANT SWING! There’s only time for three before Trent leaps, but Claudio UPPERCUTS him outta the sky!

Yuta gives Trent HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! Then he runs, but into DOUBLE JUMP KNEES!
The fans boo as RPG Vice hurries back, tag to Archer! Guzel and CHOKE SLAM on Yuta! The beanie almost came off! The fans fire up for that, so Archer drags Yuta up by that beanie! Claudio runs in but Archer TOSSES him! Archer then TOSSES Garcia! Yuta is about to lose the beanie again, but Claudio has a chair! The ref stops Claudio, but Marina slips in! She jumps on Archer for a SLEEPER! The fans fire up for that, but then Archer powers up and out! BLACKOUT- NO, Marina fights free to SLEEPER again! Archer THROWS Marina down, but Marina gets up and out of the way for Yuta to DROPKICK Archer!
Archer wobbles, Pac SUPERKICKS him! Garcia is back to ROCK Archer! Claudio UPPERCUTS Archer! They BLAST the Callis Family, then Death Riders huddle up like rugby! The cycle of violence begins with ELBOW, UPPERCUT, LARIAT, and ELBOW! They go again and again and again, and they have Archer on wobbly legs! SNAP POWERSLAM from Claudio, then the FASTBALL SPECIAL! Yuta covers, DCF BREAKS IT! The fans boo but the Death Riders TOSS the Callis Family back out. The brawling continues on the outside, but Archer SLAMS Yuta! Tag to Rocky, he runs up, SLICED ROCKY! Cover, TWO!
The fans fire up as Rocky then brings Yuta around, cravats, and SLICED BRE- NO! Yuta pops free, and BUSAIKU KNEE! Cover, Death Riders win!
Winners: Death Riders, by pinfall
Moxley’s just as fired up, he is very proud of his team for getting that win. Moxley says they’ll do this as many times as The Don Callis Family wants it. But wait! The Alpha makes his presence known! Konosuke Takeshita steps out on stage, mic in hand. But then he just throws hands with Moxley! The teams rush in there to separate these two, only for Moxley to get loose! The fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT!” but the teams separate Moxley and Konosuke again. But then both men break free again for another scrap! The fans cheer, the teams almost fight each other again, and things go to the ramp! The brawling continues but Marina ushers Moxley away!

They were the highlight of the night for House Rules: Sydney, winning their AEW debut in their homeland of Australia! In fact, they were so happy that The Brawling Birds also made their tag team debut, but what Alex & Jamie did was just unacceptable! A big no-no. They tried to steal the spotlight? No no no! Ladies, you don’t have the balls to go face to face with The IInspiration! But they’ll make this easy: Grab your remotes, turn the telly on, and watch Dynamite as The IInspiration makes their TV debut in El Paso!
Now, ladies, you have three options: Step up, step back, or step aside for The IInspiration! POSE! Jessie & Cassie are All Elite, but will AEW soon be iconic?
AEW & The Dogs present…
Clark Connors wonders what’s true and what isn’t. He could tell you about every body he’s put his mark on, but would you believe him? 100 Proof knows how to fight dirty, and does it for a living.

The International & TNT Champions stand tall together, then Kyle grabs a mic. Kyle tells Denver, Colorado, “Say my full name! Now, Kyle Fletcher & Kazuchika Okada are the greatest champions in this company’s history! But now, together as Protokada, we are unstoppable! So whoever wants to step up to the two greatest champions-” Wait! JetSpeed walks back out here! Speedball double checks, Kyle thinks Protokada is unstoppable? Well, that could be true, if not for the fact that during the Continental Classic, Mike Bailey beat Kyle! And Kevin Knight beat Okada! So for them to come out here and say they’re the greatest champions in the company? The math isn’t really mathing.
Okada tells them that JetSpeed has never beaten Protokada! Kyle adds, “B***tch~!” Well, yeah, okay, that’s kinda funny, them doing the gag. But y’know what? Knight would love to see the match, this would be box office. And Okada, after Knight beats MJF for the world title, he’d love Okada to be his first defense. Bailey then brings up that Kyle has the “cow udder pink” title, so Bailey would love to beat him for that! So while they’re making matches, Jet Set Rodeo are THE AEW World Trios Champions, so they’d be more than happy to defend their belts against Protokada and any of the other 12 THOUSAND members of the Callis Family.
So make sure to choose wisely. Because the fact of the matter is that it won’t matter, the result will be the same. It is always Jet Set Rodeo on top, B*TCH! The many challenges have been issued, but how will this all shake out as we continue on the Road to Revolution?
AEW hears from Darby Allin & Orange Cassidy.
The Relentless One brings up what that Mad Man, Gabe Kidd, has been saying, about how this won’t be over until Darby’s pushing up daisies.

This story doesn’t end with him down, it will be Darby & Orange VS The Dogs! It’s SHOWTIME!

Hook speaks.
The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil starts his Opps recruitment pitch, saying everyone wants to join in. Hey, does this guy wrestle? Yeah, he does. Wanna join The Opps? Um, sure! Yeah, Hook bets he does. Idiot! Hook laughs and leaves that guy behind, but Anthony Bowens steps in. The 5 Tool Player says hello to Hook, and to “Shibata-san” behind the camera. But he understands they’re recruiting. He doesn’t know how many people know this, but Hook is one of Bowens’ best friends. Bowens has had Hook’s back since they both started here, so Bowens thinks it’d be a fantastic idea if he continued that by joining The Opps.
And if that’s not enough, they’d be adding a former AEW World Tag Team Champion, a former AEW World Trios Champion, and the Pride of Professional Wrestling. Hook does agree, they’re friends. And Bowens doesn’t need to sell himself to Hook. That is impressive. But this is business. The question is: Is Bowens a proper fit for The Opps? The Opps is a group of killers, from Shibata to Samoa Joe to Hook. Bowens… Killer? Let Hook think about it, and Bowens can think on that. The Opps head out, but will Bowens prove he can do more than just strike people out?

Ishii roars, he reels Andrade in, suplex and- NO, Andrade fights free! Ishii ROCKS Andrade, but the SHADOW ELBOW hits! Cover, TWO!! Ishii survives again and Callis is going nuts! But Andrade sends the DIRECT MESSAGE! Cover, Andrade wins!
Winner: Andrade El Idolo, by pinfall
The Stone Pitbull lived up to the name, but Andrade still found a way to break through! Callis celebrates with his amigo, his hermano, his familia, but wait! BANDIDO is here! The Outlaw applauds, and Andrade takes off the pants to reveal his yellow ring gear! These two will face off at Revolution in Los Angeles, but Bandido wants it to be one of respect. He offers a handshake, but Andrade SPITS on that hand. So now the handshake becomes a finger gun. Will Bandido take down the Real Latino Man? Or will Andrade get a win on the Most Wanted?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here as we build to Revolution, but I can’t be sure what’s going on with all these title stories. MJF of course ranted and complained, but that doesn’t exactly add anything. And then Kevin Knight calling MJF out was fine, and a little surprised El Paso is getting the title match that MJF is clearly going to win. Then after a great match of #Protokada VS Top Flight, JetSpeed calls them out as not just a tag team but also as the individual champions they are and as a trio with a random third to join them. I appreciate them remembering Knight and Bailey each got wins off these champions, but maybe they should’ve cashed these ideas in earlier so that it isn’t just all rushed right before Revolution.
We got a very good promo video from Briscoe, Ciampa and Lethal, but I feel like the Ciampa VS Lethal match should’ve been right after it for better flow. Instead, we got another Death Riders VS Don Callis Family match, though I did appreciate it was an 8 Man Tag this time. Ciampa VS Lethal was a great match, even with The Swirl getting involved to try and screw Ciampa over. Great stuff for Ciampa to overcome that, though, and he should definitely get the TNT Championship shot at Revolution for him and Kyle to run it back. We might even get Ciampa & Briscoe as a team real quick to help Ciampa build momentum and get Briscoe back in the win column.
Very good promo from The IInspiration, great to hear they’ve landed somewhere after leaving TNA, and they’ll clearly have a great feud with The Brawling Birds. The Birds didn’t have the cleanest match with their opponents tonight but that wasn’t the worst. Toni VS Zayda was good, but of course Toni won. This is a small thing, but I feel like Zayda VS Toni could’ve gone before Protokada VS Top Flight. Daniels shaking off Okada attacking him isn’t hard to believe, but it would also make sense if Daniels was down and out after Top Flight’s match. Marina & Yuta going after Toni was interesting, and I’m a little surprised Yuta got his hat snatched so soon. Toni VS Marina in a 1v1 for Revolution would go hard, though, and can definitely send the winner towards a title.
Rosa & Kris VS Sisters of Sin was very good as a tag match, and of course Rosa & Kris won. Very good promo from Thekla to call Rosa and Kris out, and I would think Thekla finds a way to win on Dynamite. It could be because Triangle of Madness interferes, it could be because Kris counters Triangle of Madness but accidentally costs Rosa, or Kris could flipflop right back to Heel and cost Rosa because she doesn’t want anyone else beating Thekla. I really hope it’s not that third idea, let it be one of the others, and then we can either do Thekla VS Rosa again, or even a Triple Threat of Thekla VS Rosa VS Kris for some really wild stuff.
Very good promo from Hook with Bowens, in that Bowens puts himself forward for The Opps and Hook doesn’t automatically accept. It was a logical move from Hook to question Bowens’ killer instinct, but also, where is the Bowens-Caster slow build to Acclaimed 2026? Will Caster weirdly try to join Opps and then they’re pitted against each other or something? Or perhaps Hook has them jump through hoops just to bring up guys from ROH or the indies, which then upsets Bowens & Caster and compels them to be Acclaimed once again.
Very good promo from all the teams in the $200K Fatal 4 Way, but like, can’t we just say that’s a tag title opportunity match? No one who has ever won the kayfabe cash prize has actually kayfabe splurged and shown off their new anything. Though, with this being the return match for Rush y Dralistico, maybe they should win. Then they can even be the kind of Heels that do show off that money. And while putting together Andrade VS Ishii was rather outta nowhere, it was still a great choice because that was a great main event match. Great win for Andrade to have momentum going towards Revolution, and good faceoff from him and Bandido to close out the show. The ROH World title is NOT on the line, which is fine, but it’s pretty clear Andrade is winning then.
My Score: 8.9/10
