Hangman Page is here!
The Cowboy is in Huntsville, Alabama, and using a crutch? It was concerning at the end of last week’s Dynamite that Hangman was clutching his ankle near the end of the Six Man Tag match. Hangman hops up the steel steps to step into the ring, and he gets the mic. “This probably doesn’t look like a promising start to the speech, huh, guys? I feel like I might say it too much but it’s important to me, so I will say it. When AEW started, it was a new endeavor for my friends, but for me, it was something different. It was a goal. It was an opportunity to rise to people’s expectations, to make the most of the world laid in front of me.
“And I’d like to think that I did that, and I’d like to think that winning the world championship in 2021…” The fans start to cheer, and Hangman says he likes to think that doing that was the biggest accomplishment of his career. That’s why it hurts so much to have that opportunity in front of him again, and have this happen. Fans don’t want it to be true but Hangman says, “When AEW decided that at Revolution, the world championship would be decided in a Three Way match, I said it was BS. And I meant it. And I suggested that maybe the championship should be decided in a singles match, but it looks like I had the wrong two competitors.”
Fans boo, hoping this isn’t true, but Hangman says he won’t apologize to Swerve or Joe. But he will tell us the truth, because he’s always honest with us, that this Sunday at Revolution, Hangman will not be able to compete. The fans are upset, but then “Whose house?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Prince Nana leads the way and does his dance as Swerve Strickland makes his entrance. The Realest goes down the ramp, to the ring, and already has a mic of his own. Fans cheer and chant, then Swerve says, “These last six months, man, we’ve been to war. I tried to kill you, you tried to kill me, I might’ve crossed the line a couple times…
“But I didn’t really expect this to happen. I targeted you because of everything you accomplished here in AEW. And to say that I didn’t have the utmost respect of that would just be a flat out lie. But you suffered this unfortunate fate, and the funny thing about fate, you can’t escape it. And you can’t stop destiny. And my destiny awaits me this Sunday at Revolution as I go on to become the AEW World Champion.” But then here comes said champion, Samoa Joe! The fans chant for “JOE! JOE! JOE!” as he stands on stage in a suit, mic in hand and belt on his shoulder. “Destiny? You boys are out here talking about destiny?
“Now what do we have here? It seems two of the most bitter enemies ever out here are trying to hug it out, huh?” Joe says a lot of lies are being told so he will correct them with a few truths. First, week after week, these two have stared daggers at each other, thinking that the destiny of this championship was tearing the other man’s throat out. That was only because they both avoided making eye contact with Joe and realized who the real man around here is. Second, though Joe doesn’t quite understand this dynamic, whether or not Hangman is in the match. Or should we call him “Hop Along?”
Joe keeps hearing about how Hangman and Swerve are young, hungry contenders. But that’s ridiculous! They’re both battle tested, battle hardened warriors in that ring, and there’s nothing new about them. They’re hungry but accomplished. The fans cheer that. But what they both need to realize is that the only reason they’re hungry is because Joe is starving their asses! As long as Joe has the title, there won’t be no more meals come dinner time! So he will explain to them who Joe is, and who they should really be worried about! He is Samoa Joe, the AEW World Champion, and whether it is one or both of them, Joe will whoop both their asses.
Swerve tells Joe to hold on so he can explain just who the hell Swerve is! “I’m someone that went from unemployed to headlining PPVs! I’m someone that went from being a Cruiserweight to going after the world championship! But make no mistake about it, I am that same man that broke into a wrestling school and left an 18 year old laying in a bloody heap! I am that same man that trespassed in another man’s home and threatened his infant son! I’ll do whatever it takes to become world champion! I’m not only a career maker, I am a career changer! And after I take that championship from you, Joe, you’re not gonna what to do with yourself.
“Hell, you might wanna go back to commentary wearing a poncho again. Who knows.” Joe seethes as Swerve says he is on the verge of making history! And this Sunday at Revolution, Swerve WILL become AEW World Champion! Whose House? “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Whose House?! “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” WHOSE HOUSE?! HANGMAN ATTACKS WITH THE CRUTCH!! He was faking all along!? Hangman shouts for Swerve to get up and Joe grins! Hangman CLOBBERS Swerve with the crutch now! Hangman says Swerve will NEVER have that championship! Hangman tells Joe the same, that Swerve won’t take the title, HANGMAN will!
Fans are torn but Joe understands now that it is still a Triple Threat. But did Hangman just switch it up and use that crutch to take Swerve out of the running? Or will Hangman regret swerving a man as dangerous as Swerve?
The Young Bucks arrive backstage.
Matthew Jackson is in a black suit, Nicholas is in pink. They’re ready to “clock in” for Dynamite, and they step inside the building. Renee Paquette is right there and she welcomes them to Huntsville. Tonight is Sting’s final Dynamite ahead of their match for the AEW World Tag Team Championships at Revolution. Last time she saw them, it seemed they were having an interesting business meeting with Ric Flair. Can they give any details about that? Well, it went great, and that is all Nick will say. Matt brings up Sting and asks if Renee has seen him yet. Not yet, just them.
Oh, okay, then since this is Sting’s final Dynamite appearance, The Bucks are just dying to see him and thank him for all his contributions to this company. And mostly, they want to… “conduct his exit interview.” Matt & Nick bring out the white baseball bats, the same ones they used to beat down Sting, Darby and Sting’s two sons just a few weeks ago. Matt says have a great night, let’s have a killer show. Cameraman, keep with them, so everyone can see what the Bucks are gonna do for Sting. The Bucks continue deeper backstage, will they make it so Sting doesn’t even make it to his retirement match?
Six Man Tag: Eddie Kingston & FTR VS Blackpool Combat Club!
Before all of their separate showdowns on Sunday, The Mad King teams with the Top Guys to take on Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley & Claudio Castagnoli. Things have always been personal between Eddie and the American Dragon, and things have been getting more intense between Dax & Cash against the Maniac and the Swiss Superman. Just how wild will it get here, only days away from Revolution?
The trios sort out and Bryan starts against Eddie as a preview of their Continental Crown Championship match. The two feel things out as the fans rally up, and the two test the waters. The fans rally behind Eddie but Bryan is simply amused. Then Bryan tags out to Claudio! Well Eddie doesn’t like him much, either! Claudio RAMS Eddie, Eddie stays up and dares him to try again.

Bryan doesn’t let go until he’s done talking trash on Eddie. Bryan lets off to pose, but will he be posing with three championships after Revolution? Will Moxley & Claudio prove they are the top guys in the AEW Tag Division?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
Renee Paquette is with The Ocho, or rather the Lionheart, as tonight, Jericho will face Atlantis Jr. of CMLL. There is a ton of history here between Jericho and the Atlantis lucha family, what is he expecting tonight? Jericho says 30 years ago, when he first started wrestling in Mexico, he got thrown into the deep end very quickly. Legendary booker, Paco Alonso wanted Jericho to become a big time player fast. So he put Jericho with legends like Negro Casas, Silver King, Texano, El Dandy, and Atlantis Sr. Atlantis was both a great opponent and a great partner, a mentor and a friend.
So when AEW started working with CMLL, Jericho requested this match with Atlantis Jr. so he could repay the favor. Jericho wants to teach Atlantis Jr. something about the wrestling business from this end. So tonight, Jericho will show Atlantis Jr. some things he’s never seen before, and have a lesson in violence! Tonight, Jericho shows what “Corazon de Leon” can do. And in Spanish, Jericho tells Atlantis Jr. that tonight, there won’t be any holding back. Will El Ocho prove he is numero uno?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
AEW returns from break and Schiavone says tonight, it is official. There are great wrestlers all around the world, and many are coming here to AEW. But none is bigger, better or more exciting. Here on Dynamite, welcome to AEW full time, Will Ospreay! The fans fire up as the Aerial Assassin, having moved on from NJPW, is truly All Elite! Ospreay goes to the ring, high-fiving fans, and he even hugs Schiavone. Schiavone says the dynamic Ospreay is All Elite, and it’s great to have him here! Ospreay says, “Oi oi, Huntsville, how’re you doing, you cheeky shanks?” The fans cheer and Ospreay says he just wanted to come out here to say thanks for the reception.
Ospreay reminds us that back in November, he asked them to give him some time to finish his obligations with NJPW. His obligations are done! So he took himself to Barbados for a little holiday, got pissed with the Misses, it was great! And then he flew over here, lost his bags, but it’s alright! They found ’em so it’s all good. He came here in his track suit, like Kermit the Frog on leg day, and most importantly, he is here in front of all the fans to say he is here for full-time work! He’s All Elite, bruv! The fans fire up for that one! Ospreay says hold on, some are forgetting that this isn’t his first rodeo. His first PPV, he beat Orange Cassidy.
And if that wasn’t good enough, he went to Canada to beat Kenny Omega in front of 13 THOUSAND of his own people. And if that still wasn’t good enough, he pinned the first-ever AEW World Champion, Chris Jericho, at Wembley Stadium, bruv! So make no mistake about it. The territory might be different, but he’s used to this. He’s been rolling with the Callis Family, everything’s going smoothly, he is ready to pick up where he left off. Speaking of, here comes Don Callis and his family, the Last Supper mural still including Will Ospreay & Kyle Fletcher while Konosuke Takeshita & Will Hobbs are here in person.
Callis shakes hands and hugs it out with Ospreay, as does Hobbs. Konosuke doesn’t, though, given the match that’s coming. Callis takes the mic from Schiavone to say, “Y’know, ladies and gentlemen, there’s nothing I like more than a Don Callis Family reunion!” Fans boo but Callis says when he thinks about the talent in this group, he thinks about Fletcher, Hobbs, Konosuke & Ospreay, an embarrassment of riches! And Callis loves Ospreay talking about all those things the two of them accomplished together. When Ospreay beat Kenny, Callis was right beside him. Ospreay asked how they were gonna top that, and then we got Ospreay VS Jericho!
And on the biggest night of Ospreay’s life, he beat Jericho! So how to top that? Well, by having a match of the year! The fans chant “You Suck!” at Callis but Callis says you top Ospreay VS Jericho by having a match of the DECADE! And in order to do that, you need the two best rope-to-rope wrestlers in the world! The Alpha, Konosuke Takeshita, and Will BAH GAWD Ospreay! And people ask Callis, how can you pit the family against each other? Well, it’d be like when Michal Jordan and Scotty Pippen would go hard against each other in practice, then come together to win championships!
At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter which one wins at Revolution! The real winner after will be the Don Callis Family! Now, shake hands, guys, this will be historic! Konosuke and Ospreay stare down, and Ospreay offers first. Konosuke looks at Ospreay’s hand, then takes it. They shake, the fans boo, but Konosuke doesn’t let Ospreay go. Konosuke wants Ospreay to look him in the eye, then he pats Ospreay on the shoulder. But then Ospreay doesn’t let go! Ospreay won’t let Konosuke big brother him just because Ospreay just got back. The fans rally behind Ospreay, Callis joins in by trying, and failing, to make it a dueling chant.
Ospreay and Konosuke step back, and Ospreay smiles as he bows respect to Konosuke. Will the Don Callis Family really be okay after The Alpha and the Assassin fight it out?
Backstage interview with Eddie Kingston.
Renee is now with the Mad King, and notes the disrespect shown not only to him but this entire time leading up to the match with Bryan at Revolution, how concerned is Eddie to be facing this version of Bryan? Eddie starts but then The Bucks walk in asking if Eddie’s seen Sting. What? No, he hasn’t. The Bucks then realize they’re interrupting an interview. Sorry, take it from the top. No, this is life. Oh, oops, never mind. But then Nick says he has a bone to pick with Eddie anyway. All that crap Eddie was saying on Collision, next time it’ll be a fine! Matt has Nick cool down and apologizes for him.
But while Matt has Eddie, mind if he talks with him for a second? Eddie asks what these two are even doing, but Matt says hold on. Eddie is a champion, y’know. He should work on his presentation a little. He shows up to work with Timbs and sweats? Where’s his sports coat or something? Matt asks Nick if they need to implement a dress code backstage. But no, sorry, they’re still looking for Sting, so carry on. The Bucks go shouting for “Stinger” again, and Renee says she had a point about the Louis Vuitton Timbs. Seriously? Eddie doesn’t get what is going on with the EVPs, but will he be more than ready for Sunday?
AEW International Championship: Orange Cassidy VS Nick Wayne w/ The Patriarchy!
Freshly Squeezed is still a fighting champion, so even with his match against Roderick Strong on Revolution this Sunday, he put out an Open Challenge for tonight! And who answered it?

Backstage interview with The Bang Bang Scissor Gang.
Renee is with Jay White, The Gunns, Max Caster & Anthony Bowens, and she notes the impressive win on Collision against Iron Savages. It seems they’re gelling as a group now. Oh, she saw that? White agrees, they are gelling. And to be honest, he was a little apprehensive at first, had their wires crossed a couple weeks ago on Dynamite. But after Collision, they’ve shown just how well they can work together, and White is all in on BBSG! They are damn near perfect! Aren’t they, Billy? Yeah, almost. But Max, what happened to your rap? You think anyone noticed? Uh, yeah, man, everyone noticed.
But Austin says he has an idea. Speaking of combos within the group, how about this? Austin Gunn & The Acclaimed for Collision! Bowens says that’s silly. But what about The Acclaimed & Austin? YES! Everyone loves it! Austin is confused, though, isn’t that just the same but said different? White moves on by saying EVERYONE loves The Acclaimed, BANG BANG! Bowens says he got it! They scissor finger, but will Austin, Max & Anthony make it a win just like the other half of the super group?

The Galaxy’s Greatest and the Babe with the Power used to be friends with the Chicago Skye, but we all know how the Princess of the Black Throne influenced her to the dark side. Skye wants to tear down her former friends to protect the House, but will nothing stop Kris from getting back to the TBS Championship?

Skye SLAPS Kris down, then CLUBS her! Skye facelocks and she grinds Kris into the mat.
Kris endures, fights around, but Skye stays clamped on. Stokely & Willow rally the fans, Kris fights up and throws body shots, but Skye throws her by her hair! Kris goes to a corner, Willow is there to cheer her on, but Skye KICKS Kris in the butt! Skye brings Kris around to bump her off buckles, then stomp her down again. The ref counts, Skye digs her boot in but lets off at 4. Skye swaggers while Kris flounders, and then Skye CLUBS Kris down. Kris hits back but Skye CHOPS! Skye bumps Kris off buckles, then CHOPS her again! Skye digs her boot in again, but the ref counts. Skye blows a kiss before letting off at 4.
Skye swaggers around again while Dynamite returns to single picture. Skye runs up, but into an ELOBW! Kris whips, Skye reverses but Kris blocks. Kris kicks, Skye blocks and KNEES Kris back. Skye whips Kris to a corner but Kris goes up to FLYING BACK ELBOW! Both women are down and the fans fire up! Kris and Skye rise while a count begins. They both stand at 3 of 10 and throw forearms back and forth! Kris gets the edge, then whips Skye to LARIAT her down! Kris hauls Skye back up, sends her to a corner and runs in to UPPERCUT! Then she goes side to side to KNEE Skye, and reels her in for a SNAP POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO!

Kris dodges to ROUNDHOUSE Skye, but then Julia gets in! BELT SHOT!! The ref misses it because he’s arguing with Stokely! CODE BLUE!! SKYE WINS!!
Winner: Skye Blue, by pinfall
Willow is disappointed, but in Stokely, not Kris. Stokely wanted to go hardcore but this wasn’t the time, and now Kris suffers the loss. If The House Always Wins, will anyone ever get that title off Julia?
The Young Bucks are continuing their hunt of Sting.
Nicholas has the cameraman follow them to the door with Sting’s name on it. But Matthew wants Nicholas to hold on. Did Nick see the interview last week? Sting seemed a little… out of his mind with anger. So if there’s one thing for sure about Sting, it’s that nothing’s for sure. So just be mindful. Nick’s prepared! Let’s go! They step in, and the room is just a bunch of black baseball bats dangling from the ceiling. Oh, they’re playing mind games, huh? Nick smacks his bat off the chair, but where, oh where, could the Stinger Man be?
Chris Jericho VS Atlantis Jr. w/ Atlantis Sr!
The Ocho promised it’d be the Lionheart tonight, and he is ready to give us a blast from the past as he faces the future of CMLL. Will Jericho return the favor from Atlantis Sr. and teach Atlantis Jr. a thing or two about a thing or two? Or will the World Historic Light Heavyweight Champion show he already knows what it takes to succeed?
The bell rings and the two circle. The fans rally up, Atlantis offers a handshake, but Jericho SLAPS him! Jericho already said earlier there would be no going easy just because they’re friendly. So Atlantis SLAPS back! They throw hands faster and faster and then Jericho knees low! Jericho CHOPS and CHOPS then whips, but Atlantis reverses.

Jericho bails out to argue with Atlantis Sr, but then Junior DIVES onto him! The fans fire up as Atlantis Jr. gets Jericho up and around to SMACK him off the apron! Atlantis gets the legs, to CATAPULT Jericho into the POST! The fans fire up as Atlantis rises, and he brings steel steps around! The ref reprimands but Atlantis brings Jericho around. Atlantis reels Jericho in, gets him up, but Jericho fights it! So Senior helps out, and Atlantis has Jericho up!
But Jericho RANAS and sends Atlantis into the steps! The fans are torn while Senior checks on Junior, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Jericho storms over, he drags Atlantis around to SMACK him off the steps! Jericho puts Atlantis in the ring, kicks him around, then soaks up the cheers and jeers.

Atlantis reaches, he’s fingertips away! But Jericho drags him away!! Jericho sits deep! Senior throws in the towel!! Jericho wins!
Winner: Chris Jericho, by forfeit
The Lionheart wins, and perhaps the lesson here was knowing when to give up for the sake of your career. Jericho checks on Junior and helps him up. There is still respect between Jericho and the Atlantis familia, will Junior still be the future of CMLL?
BREAKING NEWS for Revolution!
After the big win here tonight, Jericho is now part of the All-Star 8 Man Scramble! He joins “Powerhouse” Hobbs, Lance Archer, Brian Cage, Hook, Wardlow, and two more opponents! Those last two spots will be filled in qualifying matches to be held this weekend! CMLL’s Magnus takes on Matt Sydal for Rampage while a Triple Threat on Collision sees Penta El Zero Miedo VS Dante Martin VS Bryan Keith! Who will join the huge match that grants the winner a future AEW World Championship opportunity?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
Just 24 hours before Revolution, we hear from Toni Storm and Deonna Purrazzo ahead of their AEW Women’s World Championship, and we get a star-studded 8 Man Tag! Orange Cassidy, Trent Beretta, Hook & Daniel Garcia take on Roderick Strong, Brian Cage, Christian Cage & Killswitch/Luchasaurus! Who will have major momentum going into the title matches going into Revolution?
The Young Bucks make their way to the ring.
Since they didn’t find Sting backstage anywhere, it seems only logical they come out here to finish the search. There are fans wearing Sting masks, so Nick gets in their face. Is one of them Sting playing the hold “Sting wearing a Sting mask” gag? No but DARBY is! Darby DECKS Nick and fires off on the Bucks! Darby puts Nick in the ring but Matt anchors him! Nick PENALTY KICKS from above! The fans rally for Darby but the Bucks mug him back! They put Darby in the ring, get their bats, and it’s just like the night Darby & Sting won the tag titles! Matt CHOKES Darby, Nick throws off his jacket, and The Bucks sit Darby up.
Fans boo but the Bucks want, and hit the E V P TRIGGER!! Darby goes down, Matt JAMS Darby with the bat! Nick stomps Darby, too! The fans boo but the Bucks just soak it up. Then Matt calls for someone? Ric Flair is here?! The Nature Boy smiles as he struts his way down the ramp, but has he really betrayed Sting? Matt & Nick mug Darby more while Ric takes his time getting to the ring. Ric takes one of the bats, but then he pokes Nick in the eye and JABS Matt! The Nature Boy tricked the Bucks and has them right where he wants ’em! Except Nick LOW BLOWS Ric! Fans boo as Ric falls in a heap!
The Bucks are upset that the Dirtiest Player in the Game actually pulled one over on them, and they dig their boots in! The fans boo, then they call for “STING! STING! STING!” The Bucks soak up the heat, just hoping Sting shows up. But then the music hits and the Bucks get on the defensive! They hurry up the ramp with their bats, but where is he? Sting is lowered in from the rafters!! The fans are thunderous as we flashback to the early days of Crow Sting, and the Bucks can’t believe what they’ve just seen! The Bucks run back up, but bats collide and the Bucks are disarmed! Sting JAMS Matt, JAMS Nick, then CRACKS them with bats!
The fans fire up as Darby goes up and SUPER COFFIN DROPS onto both Bucks!! Darby gets Nick in the ring, Sting storms right in after him! Sting gets Nick for the SCORPION DEATH DROP! Darby slides in and Ric stands back up. The fans howl into the night with these icons, but Matt says they’re gonna come up with a “real nice severance package” for Sting. Will Sting’s last match be his most agonizing defeat? Or will it be his most triumphant victory?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite, and I really like how this flowed with just four matches. Granted, this format might just be because this is the go-home with plenty of more to do on Rampage and Collision, but AEW/Tony Khan should still try to book it like this more often. Hangman tricking us with the ankle was clever stuff to sucker Swerve in, but Swerve also owned up to doing messed up stuff so… I guess there isn’t really a Face in the match at all? Just Joe, Hangman and Swerve all being mean and badass, though Hangman is much more Heel right now because he tricked us. Either way, this still keeps everyone strong regardless of who wins, but at this point, the fans are strongly behind Swerve so it’s either Swerve or Joe winning.
Good group promo from Bang Bang Scissor Gang, and I like that they poked a little fun at Caster’s flub. And it’s a fitting move to do the flipside of last week’s mash-up, and it just seems to be the story that Austin gets dunked on by everybody else. As I said for last Saturday, it’d be a shame if BBSG came together just to break up and feud when we’ve basically seen that, but at this point, they haven’t even bothered feuding with other champions yet. We got a really good International Championship match from Cassidy VS Nick with all the overbooking to plug the different title stories, and we might even get Roppongi Vice VS Taven & Bennett for the ROH Tag titles at some point.
Really good stuff from Ospreay and the Don Callis Family, and naturally, there is tension between Ospreay and Konosuke already. Callis is too sure of himself, this match is of course tearing Ospreay away from the faction, and I personally still hope Kyle Fletcher joins him because they’re United Empire brothers. Awesome opening Six Man Tag for Eddie & FTR VS BCC, but BCC winning makes sense. There’s still a very good chance Eddie beats Bryan 1v1 to retain the Triple Crown, which is why Bryan got the win on Eddie right here. FTR VS Mox & Claudio could still go either way, but I’m leaning towards FTR so they can challenge for the tag championships past Revolution.
Really good match from Kris VS Skye, but what in the world is Stokely thinking? He’s teamed with two Faces and he’s trying to Heel it up, and that cost Kris. This is gonna lead to Stokely getting slapped around instead of him breaking Kris and Willow up. But there isn’t much time anymore, so I guess we’re not getting a TBS Championship build for Revolution. Maybe for Big Business in Boston in a couple weeks? It would be fitting if someone faces Julia for the title, and regardless of who wins, out comes Mercedes Mone for the huge homecoming moment, and she immediately sets herself up for a TBS Championship match for Double or Nothing.
Really good promo from Jericho, though I wish I knew more Spanish so I could understand the rest of that last line. But great match from Jericho with Atlantis Jr, though I am a touch surprised Jericho won. But hey, Atlantis Jr. looked great, he’s still a champion in CMLL and is going on quite the run over there, we can only hope AEW and CMLL are able to keep this working relationship going. News came out that there’s some travel visa issues for many different big names, let’s hope it doesn’t force AEW and CMLL to delay whatever Forbidden Door type thing they were working on.
And it seems one thing that did have to be delayed is that Meat Madness match. It was said by Tony Khan himself that document issues, along with some injuries, limited their choices for the big match of big meaty men, so now the All-Star Scramble happens instead. That’ll still be awesome stuff, and if it’s about a future world title shot, you can bet Hobbs or Wardlow comes out on top with this. Wardlow especially given that heated promo he gave last week and how it’ll feed into the Undisputed Kingdom story. If Adam Cole is gonna force Wardlow to hand over the world title, then Wardlow needs to have the world title in the first place.
And really good stuff to feed into Sting’s last Dynamite segment. The Bucks being on the hunt all night was an interesting way to keep us intrigued throughout the show, and you gotta appreciate Matt being the levelheaded one to foil against Nick being the hothead, to where Matt didn’t just barge into Sting’s room just in case. Sting dropping in from the rafters surprised me, also kinda scared me, but it was an awesome move to do that for his final TV appearance as it hearkens back to some of his best stuff in WCW.
Ric Flair tricking the Bucks was a good detail, though I’m surprised they didn’t save this for Revolution, but I suppose that would’ve only been the case if Sting & Darby were winning. I’ve been saying The Bucks are winning to get all that heat on themselves, the math would indicate that, but hey, maybe Sting gets to defy such math and tradition because of how he is so iconic and beloved in pro-wrestling.

Backstage interview with FTR.
Renee Paquette is with Cash Wheeler, Dax Harwood, and even AEW referee, Paul Turner. Renee says that last Saturday Night Collision, Dax put his hands on AEW officials and has since been fined $10,000. Dax paid the fine, but he asked for Paul to be here. Why is that? Dax says yes, he is about to pay the fine, but he wanted Paul here in front of the world so that Dax could apologize to both him and Cash for his actions. He let his emotions get the better of him, and he got Tony Khan to allow him to personally hand the check over to Paul. In front of the world, here is the $10,000 for Paul personally to use, perhaps take his wife out for a nice dinner or buy something for the family.
Dax again apologizes for how he treated Paul. Paul accepts the apology, and he can understand it all being heat of the moment. This means a lot to him. Of course, Paul, but just don’t cash that in until Friday, wink wink. Dax pats Paul on the back and Paul takes his leave. Renee says things have been rather heated lately, but this Sunday night, Dynasty on PPV, Rated FTR challenges The Death Riders for their AEW World Trios Championships. Are they going to be able to put their issues aside by then? Dax says yes, FTR are brothers, he loves Cash more than almost anyone in this world. The things they’ve done in these 11 years can never be eclipsed by one event.
Dax wants to let Cash know that he apologizes for what he did. It was an emotional moment, and he mistook Cash for a security guard. Just know that he would never, ever do something like that. But on Sunday night, they add to the legacy of FTR by making Rated FTR the NEW AEW World Trios Champions. Dax loves ya, bud. Dax wants to hug Cash, but Cash stops him?! Cash says yes, they are brothers. And on Sunday, they will be fine. But after Sunday, they need to talk. Cash heads out alone, Dax is unsure what to make of that. Dax apologizes to Renee for this, Renee assures him it is okay. But will FTR be fine with tensions running this high?

Backstage interview with Swerve, Nana & Willow.
Renee checks in at Willow is being examined by the training staff. Do we have any update on Willow right now? Swerve says Willow is strong, powerful, and brave. That’s why Swerve didn’t mind facing The Death Riders with Willow by her side. When it came to getting in the ring with two of the most dangerous men in AEW, and perhaps all of pro-wrestling, Willow welcomed the challenge. But Moxley, knowing the history of neck issues that Willow has, and Moxley still did what he did… Now he’s on the run. Swerve will not rest until he has his hands on Moxley. Not before Philly, not at Dynasty, but tonight!
Swerve vows that by the end of tonight, Swerve will have his hands on Moxley! Swerve has put The Maniac on notice, will The Death Riders make sure to be scarce for the rest of the show?
AEW prepares for All In Week in Texas!
In the lead up to Saturday, July 12th for All In: Texas, Dynamite will hit Garland, Texas on Wednesday, July 9th! Then there’s a special edition Thursday Night Collision on July 10th, also in Garland. ROH Death Before Dishonor is Friday, July 11th, in the Arlington ESports Stadium! Plus, Starrcast Texas will be Friday and Saturday in the Sheraton Arlington Hotel, and the “main event” is of course All In: Texas, Globe Life Field, with a special 3 PM Eastern start time! AEW is truly going all in for All In, what about you?
The Hurt Syndicate is here!
Montel Vontavius Porter & Bobby Lashley are here, and Peoria sings along with the song, “We Hurt~ People! We Hurt~ People!” Unfortunately for Shelton Benjamin, weather delayed his flight, he won’t even make the show, but let’s all hope he and everyone else out there stays safe. The All Mighty Lashley goes to speak, but MJF interrupts with his entrance! Maxwell Jacob Friedman struts out here, mic already in hand, and already on Lashley’s bad side. MJF smirks as he steps into the ring, has them cut his music, and the fans cheer him on! MJF says aw shucks, and then he asks the Hurt Syndicate pardons the interruption.
MJF also notes that MVP looks awesome tonight. Can we give it up for MVP? The fans cheer, and wait, there’s a pocket of fans already telling MJF to shut up. Uh, no, MJF’s gonna talk. MJF again says pardon the interruption, but last week, “Bob” disrespected him. But MJF will let that slide because Lashley is friends with MVP, and he doesn’t know MJF like MVP knows MJF. So allow him to formally introduce himself: He is Maxwell Jacob Friedman, M J F. He is a generational talent, and he knows about Lashley all too well. MJF also knows about The Gold Standard, Shelton Benjamin.
MJF looks into the camera and tells Shelton that he knows there were some travel issues today. MJF loves you, big man, see you down the road, hope you’re home safe. And c’mon, we all know about Bobby Lashley, right? The fans cheer, and MJF says Lashley’s one of the all-time greats. Lashley’s been around the block, but however, this is AEW. And baby, you’re standing on the block MJF built. Now, MJF knows this place like the back of his hand. He knows how to get to the top, and how to stay on top, for a record-breaking reign. And MJF can help Lashley & Shelton hold onto the tag team titles for as long as their cold hearts damn well please.
MJF says all cards on the table, he knows they can help him, too. They can help him get back what is rightfully his: The AEW World Championship. The fans are torn about that, but MJF says basically, what he’s getting at here is MJF in the Hurt Syndicate is just good business. MVP knows it, MJF knows it, and hell, even the mouth-breathers in the Midwest know it! The fans boo, but MJF says, “Talk to me when Peoria ever matters ever, alright? Let’s pipe down, this isn’t even a real place.” MVP has MJF hold on, and whispers something to him. MJF says that is fair. What MJF is getting at is this: Lashley may not want MJF, but Lashley…
MJF puts his hand on Lashley’s shoulder as he says, “You big, beautiful bastard you, you need MJF.” MJF smiles and says he rests his case. Lashley tells MJF that he’ll be real clear here. Out of respect for MVP, Lashley will NOT leave MJF laying right here, right now. Lashley does NOT like MJF. The fans cheer that! Lashley does NOT trust MJF, and The Hurt Syndicate damn well does NOT need MJF. So unless MJF can prove otherwise, he needs to get out of Lashley’s face right now. MJF asks if they want him to prove himself. Well, okay. He thanks them for their time, and he tells Peoria he wishes he could say the same, but he’s going to leave cuz they stink.
MJF exits the ring, MVP talks with Lashley, and it seems they’re torn. MVP votes one way, Lashley votes another, will Shelton have to be a tiebreaker down the line? But wait, The Learning Tree makes their way out here! Big Bill & Bryan Keith stare down with Lashley & MVP as they cross paths. The Redwood & Bad Apple offer The Hurt Syndicate “front row seats” to stay and watch this. Bill & Keith are still proving themselves worthy of a tag title opportunity, will they make the cut right here and now?
“Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith VS ???
The bell rings, and Keith BOOTS ♣ right outta the ring! Bill TOSSES ♪ across the ring, then BOOTS him down! Lashley is amused by this, and Bill hoists ♪ up in a military press! Bill TOSSES ♪ right out of the ring! The poor guy tumbles all the way to Lashley’s feet! The other guy CLUBS Bill, but uh, it does nothing. Well, it does piss Bill off, and the fans tell ♣ he messed up. ♣ apologizes, but Bill CHOKES him! “What’re you doing?! You wanna hit me?!” Bill RAMS ♣ into the corner, then feeds him to Keith’s KNEE! Keith shouts, “Get him, Bill!” Bill makes sure Lashley is watching as he hoists ♣ up, and SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAMS! Cover, Bill & Keith win!
Winners: “Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith, by pinfall
Lashley sarcastically applauds, but Bill grabs a mic to tell the Hurt Syndicate, “On Collision, we whooped Top Flight’s ass. Tonight, we whooped…Â their ass!” We never really did get their names… Bill says on Sunday in Philly, he and Keith will whoop Hurt Syndicate’s ass! Because they want that match for the AEW World Tag Team Championships! The fans like the sound of that! Lashley stops MVP from saying something, and gives a thumbs up to Bill? Is that a yes on the match? Guess we’ll have to wait and see what boss man Tony Khan decides.
Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.
Renee is now with The CEO, and notes that tonight, we saw the Owen Hart Cup brackets. Mone is now set to face the former TBS Champion, Julia Hart, in the opening round this Sunday at Dynasty. Mone says Julia Hart is very mysterious and unpredictable. And although Hart is a former TBS Champion, she’s not the Greatest TBS Champion of All Time now, is she? HAHAHA! It’ll take a lot more than tricks and spells to stop the Money Train. Well before Dynasty, this Saturday Night Collision, we will see Hart teaming with Athena against Mone and- “PEORIA~!” Puppet Mone is back! “Say hello to your C E O!”
Harley is bringing back the ventriloquism to say yes, it’s her. And yes, she knows what Mone is thinking, good to see her, too. And Harley has also been thinking. They really brought the house down Down Under. And hear her out. A new dream team is forming! Mone & Harley, The Train Station Money Wrath Excellence Golden Choo-Choo! What do you think? Mone says chew on this: Harley just needs to stay out of Mone’s way on Collision, got that? GOT THAT?! Y-Yes… Good to see you! Mone leaves and Harley says yes, she has the perfect name now. The Money Wrath Train! CHOO-CHOO, all aboard! But will this one go off the rails thanks to Collision?

Big announcement on that: That very match will take place as part of Sunday’s Dynasty! The fans sure like that! Ospreay and Knight had a good time as teammates, but who will fly the highest when they go 1v1?
The Opps speak.
This time, Katsuyori Shibata is on camera as they got a cameraman to join them this time. Samoa Joe smiles and says, “Hey, it’s Samoa Joe here, along with Hook & Shibata, and we’re collectively known as The Opps. And you may be wondering, why did I start this group in the first place? Well quite simply put, I understood that the battlefield was changing, and that the nature of warfare was changing with it. So I knew that when I came back to the battlefield, I needed to bring a different arsenal. And that’s what these men here represent. And as a matter of fact, now that we’ve had a few experimental forays out there into the ring, we’d like to expand our influence in AEW.
“And that’s why come Dynasty in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, The Opps will be in the building. They will be watching all, and they will be seeing all. And please, please, please… Don’t let us catch you lacking.” Joe leaves it at that, but who will end up easy prey for these three big game hunters?
Brody King VS Lance Archer w/ Don Callis!
While this Hound of Hell is going to face Konosuke Takeshita in the Owen Hart Cup, the Don Callis Family is putting quite the obstacle in his way. If #EverybodyDies, will the King of Death be next? Or will Brody take a bite out of the Murderhawk Monster?

Cope endures but Claudio leans all his weight on the hold again. Cope fights, but Claudio thrashes him around!
The fans rally while Claudio leans on Cope. The ref checks on Cope, the hand drops once! The ref checks again, and Cope is back up! Dynamite returns to single picture as Cope fights to a BIG back suplex! Both men are down and the fans rally up. Claudio goes to the apron, Cope staggers over, but Claudio RAMS into Cope! Claudio looks to the outside, and he hoists Cope up! Cope fights the suplex and now he tries, but Claudio fights off that suplex! They fight for control, and Cope fires body shots! Cope ROCKS Claudio, but Claudio HOTSHOTS Cope! The fans boo while Cope flops back, and Claudio storms into the ring.
Claudio climbs the corner, but Cope rises to ROCK him first! Cope fires more shots, but Claudio fires back! Cope fires forearm after forearm, then he goes outside. Cope climbs up the corner from there, but Claudio fires body shots! Cope and Claudio brawl up top, then they go to the very top! SUPER DUPER BULLDOG! Cope takes Claudio down, but he’s also down after that landing! A standing count starts, the fans rally up, and both men rise at 4 of 10. Cope reels Claudio in, but Claudio fights the DDT! Claudio sends Cope at the ref, then pokes him in the eyes! Claudio trips Cope, but Cope BOOTS free! Claudio returns to DOUBLE STOMP!
The fans are torn, because here comes the GIANT SWING! The fans cheer as Cope goes around and around, and Claudio THROWS Cope at TEN! Cover, TWO!! Cope survives and Claudio grows frustrated. Claudio hauls Cope up, reels him in, but Cope fights free to kick low! IMPALER DDT!! Cope crawls to the cover, TWO!! Claudio survives thanks to that delay, Cope’s gas tank is perhaps running low. The fans rally up as he and Claudio rise up again. Cope whips Claudio to a corner but Claudio reverses. Claudio runs up but into a BOOT! Cope hops up, up, and FLYING SUNSET FLIPS! Claudio rolls through and steps through, SHARPSHOOTER!!
The fans boo while Cope endures! Claudio sits deep on the hold, but the fans rally as Cope reaches out! Cope pushes up off the mat, but Claudio shifts right to a CROSSFACE! Cope endures, pries at the grip, then gets his other arm free! Cope drags Claudio down into the armlock, and now he has the GRINDHOUSE CROSSFACE!! Claudio endures, fights around, reaches out, but Cope shifts around to have the CROSSFACE on that side! Claudio still fights for the ropes, drags Cope with him, ROPEBREAK! Both men flop to the apron while the fans boo. Cope and Claudio catch their breath while the ref says to get in the ring.
Claudio and Cope rise, Cope runs up, but into an APRON POWERSLAM!! The fans go nuts, and then Claudio TOSSES Cope over the barriers! Claudio wants the ring count to start, so he ushers the ref into the ring. The count begins, Cope stirs at 4 of 10, but he’s still down at 6! Cope drags himself up at 7, flops over the barriers, then scrambles to the ring! Cope slides in at 9! Claudio LARIATS him down! Cover, TWO!! But Claudio hauls him right up to reel him in! Cope BACKDROPS free, but Claudio lands on his feet! Cope runs, Claudio hurdles, then Claudio springboards, but into a BOOT!
The fans fire up while Cope and Claudio are both down again! The fans want them to “Fight Forever!” but the show has to end somehow. Cope runs up, but into a POP-UP UPPERCUT! Cover, ROPEBREAK!! Claudio is furious but he gets Cope right into the GOTCH NEUTRALIZER!! Cover, TWO?!?! Cope survives and Claudio is beside himself! Claudio goes outside, and he grabs a pair of chairs! Claudio doesn’t care about this match if he can sideline Cope! The ref says don’t do it but Claudio puts one chair under Cope’s head! Claudio then has the other chair, but the ref grabs it! The fans cheer as the ref takes that chair from Claudio!
Claudio says okay, fine, and he lets the ref take the chair. The ref puts the chair aside, and Cope LOW BLOWS Claudio!! That’s what Claudio gets for trying to use the Con-Chair-To! The fans fire up as Cope rises, and Cope takes aim from the corner! Claudio stands, into the SPEAR!! Cover, Cope wins!
Winner: Adam Copeland, by pinfall
It was a vicious battle here on Dynamite, and it’ll certainly be even worse on Dynasty! Can Cope & FTR make things Rated R
Backstage interview with Swerve & Nana.
Renee hopes for one last opportunity to ask about Willow’s condition, but it is clear Swerve is still hunting down Moxley. Renee interrupts their argument, but Nana storms off. Swerve tells Renee sorry, all due respect, but he’s looking for Renee’s husband right about now. The camera follows Swerve as he storms off down the hallway. Swerve looks around, but then it’s HANGMAN PAGE who finds Swerve first! The Cowboy shouts at Swerve, “I’ve been looking for your dumbass!” Hangman says Swerve is wasting his time. Security rushes in, looking to keep this from getting physical.
Hangman reminds Swerve that Hangman made a promise. Hangman will NEVER let Swerve be AEW World Champion again, and he’s a man of his word! Swerve tells Hangman needs to let it go and move on to something else already. Hangman says Swerve broke into his house! Swerve says Hangman burned down Swerve’s house! Hangman says Swerve deserved what he got, and Swerve says, “I KNOW!” What?! “I said… I know.” Hangman seems taken aback, then he storms off in the other direction. Swerve made quite the confession there, but he’s back on the prowl. Only for Moxley & Pac to hit him first!
The security tries but now Marina kicks them over! Yuta even joins in as Moxley & Pac mug Swerve! Moxley says he heard Swerve’s looking for him! The Death Riders drag Swerve up, and they THROW him through GLASS!! Moxley says Swerve was looking for him, so congrats, he found him! The Death Riders aren’t done as they drag Swerve out of the glass, and go through a door to walk into the crowd! The fans boo as The Death Riders TOSS Swerve over barriers to be ringside again. Claudio is still here, so now all the Death Riders mug Swerve! The fans boo, but Claudio hauls Swerve into the ring. The Death Riders now surround Swerve.
The fans boo as Pac & Yuta sit Swerve up, and Moxley tells Swerve that he’s going to see who’s the most dangerous one around here. What is that bucket? Yuta dumps out broken glass! Claudio then drags Swerve back up, crosses the arms, RICOLA BOMB onto the glass!! The fans lose their minds while Swerve writhes. Moxley & the Death Riders take their leave, but then Swerve sits up! The glass digs into his back, but Swerve’s eyes stare daggers at Moxley. Moxley is in disbelief as Swerve LAUGHS. The fans rally for “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” If not even this can stop him, will The Realest once again reign over the AEW Dynasty?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite as a go-home to Dynasty, though with some questions when it comes to what they’ve set up for the Owen Hart Cup. Why is there a Wild Card in only the Men’s Owen Hart Cup, and why isn’t it considered the replacement for Jay White? I will give them credit that the Wild Card was the plan all along, because no one could’ve accounted for White getting injured. But why wasn’t there a wild card for the Women’s Owen Hart Cup? That aside, both tournaments have great names, and we’re going to get some great matches. Another great promo from Harley with Mone, they’re going to have a very fun match with Athena & Hart.
Toni VS Penelope was a very good match, but it’d be nice if they did the match graphics correctly. Megan didn’t go out there Penelope but Luther did go out there Toni, despite what they put in the lower third. It can’t be that hard to put those together. But Megan just leaving it at a stare down is actually some good stuff, it shows she can think strategically, so she’s even more menacing than just being big and strong. But I still think Toni finds a way to win as the underdog champion. Out of the Women’s Owen Hart Cup, I’m leaning towards Thunder Rosa winning so that she can make good on going for the title she never truly lost.
Very good promo segment from MJF with The Hurt Syndicate, and very intriguing how MVP is still trying to plead MJF’s case. Great segue into Bill & Keith showing up and squashing those two guys that we never got the names of. Which I suppose is very fitting for squash matches because it was going to turn out this way no matter what. Lashley & Shelton VS Bill & Keith for Dynasty is going to be great, and I wonder if MJF interferes on Hurt Syndicate’s behalf to help them keep the belts, just as he said. Even if he doesn’t, Bill & Keith will likely lose, so as to disappoint Jericho and start us down the road to Bill standing up against Jericho.
Ospreay & Knight VS Blake & Lee was a great tag match, with Ospreay & Knight naturally winning. Ospreay VS Knight is going to be a great match for the Owen Hart Cup, but I would think Ospreay wins. Ospreay stated his goal of going to All In, and he can’t do that without winning the Owen Hart Cup at Double or Nothing. Brody VS Archer was a great match of big meaty men, and naturally Brody wins so he also has momentum going into the tournament. But here’s an interesting thing. why is Will Hobbs not in the Owen Hart Cup? He’s been running hot as of late, so he better be going for like the TNT or Continental title to make up for missing out.
That said, Hobbs & Ishii surely take the loss to Kyle & Konosuke as the Don Callis Family goes into the Owen Hart Cup. Kyle and Mark Briscoe will battle once again, and I think Kyle wins that so that there’s a chance of Kyle VS Ospreay in the finals. The Wild Card for the match with Hangman is also interesting, perhaps a long awaited return that’ll also give Hangman a great opening round match. Hangman also had a great promo with Swerve, where Swerve actually showed some remorse and took some responsibility for how things went between them.
Good promo from FTR with Dax being very apologetic, and with Cash being somewhat surprisingly unwilling to forgive. Cope VS Claudio was a very good main event, and naturally Cope won. For starters, it ties up the singles series we’re getting, and Cash VS Pac this Saturday will be rather telling for the title match. Swerve & Willow VS Moxley & Marina was an awesome tornado tag match, and kudos on Marina and Willow with that table powerbomb. Moxley really adds some heat hitting Willow with the Paradigm Shift as a sore loser, and then we got quite the brutal closing with Death Riders beating down Swerve.
Swerve still getting up after all that was a great visual, and I would hope he wins the title. It’d be very intriguing to see Swerve and Hangman feud again now that both men are working to be redeem themselves and be Faces.
My Score: 8.9/10

Toni Storm is here!
Milwaukee cheers as The Good Land is now TIMELESS! Toni goes right to the ring, puts her AEW Women’s World Championship belt right down on the mat, and has a mic to say, “Milwaukee, I love you.” The fans cheer that! Toni says please, enough of the banter! “Megan Bayne, get your oiled up, feathered ass out here right now!” No response, so Toni says fine. If Megan is too busy crushing watermelons and eating babies, then listen up! The spotlight drops on Toni as the fans chant her name. Toni says, “Last Wednesday, you were the better woman. I don’t know what happened, it all happened so fast. But before I knew it, I was flat on my back like you’d just bought me a steak dinner.
“I am embarrassed. I am hurt. And I’m ashamed. And the worst part is, you made it look so easy.” Toni rests on the mat beside her belt to say, “I went back to my hotel, and I turned off all the lights. And I laid there, going over the same scene in my head over and over and over again, wondering if this is what’s going to happen to me at Dynasty.” Fans say no, but Toni continues, “And then, when the sun came up, I was covered in sweat. Moreso than usual. But I got up, and I went into the bathroom and I took a piss. And then I stubbed my toe, then I whacked my head on the sink. And when I came to, I looked into the mirror, and I remembered exactly who I am!”
The fans cheer, and Toni rises up to say, “I am Timeless Toni Storm! And at Dynasty, I will be leaving with your tits in my purse!” Toni approaches the ropes for her close up, only to be CLOBBERED by Penelope Ford! The Superbad Girl grins, the fans boo, but Ford fires off hands on Toni! Ford whips, but Toni reverses to GERMAN SUPLEX! Ford ends up in a corner, Toni runs in, SWEET HIP MUSIC! The fans fire up as Toni stomps a mudhole into Ford! But then Megan CLOBBERS Toni! The fans boo as now the Megasus gets the drop on Toni! Megan fireman’s carries, FATE’S DESCENTÂ on the belt!
The fans boo even more as Megan sits Toni up, tells her to “BOW! DOWN!” then throws Toni down again! Megan stands over Toni, and with just EIGHT DAYS left, is there no such thing as “timeless” in AEW?
The Death Riders speak.
Claudio Castagnoli starts with German, and he says that while Dax Harwood will be the first victim of the Death Riders, this Wednesday is when the Swiss Cyborg does something for himself. Claudio calls out Adam Copeland to go 1v1 for what Cope did to him! And if Copeland thinks that was ruthless, Claudio knows he is losing his edge and is just trying to cope with it! Claudio will beat Cope to a pulp, but leave just enough of him alive to limp to Dynasty so he can team up with his “two little groupies,” and fail at another chance of becoming champion here in AEW.
Moxley pats Claudio on the shoulder and says, “There are only three women I fear in this world: My mother, my sister, and my wife. Until I met Marina Shafir. On the day that she just snaps, I know I don’t wanna be the one who pissed her off. Part of me thinks maybe me and you, Swerve, we should just grab some popcorn, sit and watch these ladies tear each other apart. But you talked a really, really big game on Wednesday, and now you gotta back it up. Right now, that’s the job. Poor, sweet Willow.” Marina speaks up and warns Willow in Romanian, then in English she dares Willow to keep smiling once Marina’s ripped out her liver and shoved it down her throat!
Moxley & Claudio look at each other, Moxley with wide eyes and Claudio with a big smile. They head out with Marina, will there be no solving this Problem?
Jay White VS Kevin Knight!
The Switchblade has put his name in the hat for the 2025 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, knowing full well Will Ospreay and Hangman Adam Page will be in it, too. But will White be rolling towards the Owen Hart Cup opening round? Or will The Jet take him on quite the flight?
The bell rings and the fans rally. White and Knight circle, and Milwaukee is strongly behind the Switchblade. The two tie up, White waistlocks but Knight drop toeholds. Knight floats to a facelock, floats to a cover, but White slips through to headlock. Knight rolls free and the two stand off. The fans cheer, White and Knight reset, and they knuckle lock. White rolls, wrenches, and wristlocks. Knight rolls, handsprings, and then wrenches to WRING White! White rolls through and the fans cheer. White shakes out the arm while Knight brushes himself off. They tie up again and are in a deadlock.

White runs, Knight hurdles, but then White fakes Knight out! The fans cheer, Knight still arm-drags White around!
Knight ducks ‘n’ dodges White to tilt-o-whirl and RANA! Not the smoothest but White is right up to CHOP back! White shakes out the stars, storms up on Knight and CHOPS again! And CHOPS in the corner! The fans fire up while Knight goes to a corner. White storms up, reels Knight in, then suplexes. Knight slips free to UPPERCUT, UPPERCUT, and UPPERCUT again! Knight whips, White grabs ropes, and then White TOSSES Knight to the apron! Knight bobs ‘n’ weaves, ROCKS White, then steps in. White grabs a leg, DRAPING DRAGON SCREW! Both men are down and the fans rally up!
Knight stands, White CHOPS him to the corner! The fans fire up and White LARIATS! White brings Knight around, suplexes, BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Knight stays in this but White stays calm while Collision goes picture in picture.
White looms over Knight, drags him up, and CHOPS! Knight flops out of the ring! White pursues, but Knight CHOPS! White CHOPS back! Knight CHOPS in return! White CHOPS, Knight CHOPS, and repeat! Knight fires CHOP after CHOP, then he puts White in the ring. White is on Knight with a CHOP! Knight sputters while White catches his breath, and then White covers, TWO! White covers again, TWO! White clamps onto Knight with a chinlock and grinds him down. Knight endures, fights up, and fires body shots. White CHOPS Knight again! Knight sputters and flounders to the corner but White is on him again.
White stands Knight up, CHOPS him, then whips corner to corner hard! Knight slumps down in the corner but White drags him to a cover, TWO! White drags Knight up, puts him in a corner then puts him up top. White CHOPS Knight, climbs up, but Knight fires body shots! Collision returns to single picture as White hops down.

Milwaukee is fired up again as White storms out after Knight. White puts Knight in the ring, covers, TWO! White keeps Knight down with a REAR BEARHUG!
The fans rally as Knight fights up and fires body shots. White CHOPS again! Knight drops to a knee, but he shakes his head. Knight stands, but White CHOPS again! Knight again drops to his knees, the fans fire up, and Knight rises! Knight ducks a chop to CHOP, CHOP, and CHOP! Knight ROCKS White, whips him, but White reverses to CHOP! White runs, but into a DROPKICK! Both men are down and the fans fire back up! White and Knight stir, and Knight roars as he rises up! Knight ROCKS White, counter punches, then fires a flurry! White knees low, whips Knight to the corner, but Knight comes back to CLOBBER White!

White survives and Knight is a bit surprised, but he fireman’s carries. White fights free to CHOP! White whips, Knight leaps over the lariat, then SUPERKICKS! White ends up in a corner, Knight runs in, but White puts him on the apron! Knight ROCKS White first, then springboards, but into the clinch! URE- NO, Knight arm-drags White into a takedown and cover, TWO!! White escapes and Knight is shocked! White clinches, BLADE- NO, Knight slips around and shoves White to a corner!
Knight runs in, White ELBOWS him, then goes up! UPPER ROOM!! Knight throws White down and gets moving, but White ducks a lariat! COMPLETE SHOT, then the waistlock! Deadlift GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans fire up and White drags Knight up. White clinches for the URENAGE! White says time to end it! Clinch and BLADERUNNER!! Cover, White wins!
Winner: Jay White, by pinfall
Knight pushed White in this one, but he still had to Breathe with the Switchblade! White grabs a mic to say, “Let’s hear it for Kevin Knight!” The fans cheer, and White says, “Just like myself, Kevin went through the NJPW Dojo. And although this year, it won’t be yours in the Owen, there’s always next year. Because I’m pretty sure we’re going to see a lot more of Kevin Knight in AEW.” The fans cheer that! White says that was Knight’s cue to leave but guess Milwaukee thought otherwise. White says, “See you around.” They shake hands, and Knight takes off. When and where will The Jet fly back to AEW?
White says the 2025 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament will have the best of the best. And just like White does every time, he will show us that he is the MOST elite! Because he needs to win the Owen Hart Cup, because he needs to go on to All In: Texas, because he needs his shot at the AEW World Championship! The fans cheer that, and White says because he is the Last Rock ‘n’ Rolla, the man who singlehandedly sold out Madison Square Garden, King Switch! The Catalyst of Professional Wrestling! This is STILL his era! And at All In, White will show us it is STILL the Switchblade Era! White has issued his mission statement, but will it be mission accomplished by July?
AEW shares a tweet from Athena.
In response Mercedes Mone posting, “Milwaukee, say hello to your C E O,” The Fallen Goddess says, “Maybe I will say hi… TONIGHT!” Could the Forever ROH Women’s Champion be the one to face the TBS Champion tonight? We’ll have to see, after the break!
Mercedes Mone VS Robyn Renegade!
#FourBeltsMone held onto the TBS Championship after getting quite the fight from Billie Starkz. But her AEW Dynasty dance card is still open. Will Mone win herself a night off? Or will this Renegade make Mone work for her money?
The bell rings and Mone circles with Robyn. They tie up, go around, and Mone headlocks. Robyn powers out but Mone runs her over! Milwaukee is tourn, but things speed up. Mone steps on Robyn’s dropdown, then does her dance. Robyn runs up, Mone gets around to waistlock, but Robyn switches.

The CEO smiles as she puts this Renegade down and grabs up all her belts. Tony Schiavone joins Mone in the ring and congratulates her on another win. It seems like that the Money Train is running hotter than ever. But he understands she had something she wants to say, so the floor is hers. Mone says that’s right. The fans boo, Mone frowns, and she takes the mic from Schiavone. “I am the greatest TBS Champion of all time! And I came to AEW to win more gold. So I’m officially declaring myself in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament! That’s right! I’m planning on winning the Owen Cup.
“And then, the Money Train is gonna make her way to Texas to All In! And then, I’m going to become the AEW Women’s World Champion!” Fans are torn again but Schiavone says that tournament will have a lot of competition, including Billie Starkz, who- Mone stops Schiavone there. She doesn’t wanna hear about that stupid kid! Billie has a lot of heart, but not as much heart as Robyn! Give it up for Robyn! Way more heart than that stupid Billie. Who even trained Billie? They suck! You’re looking at the greatest women’s wrestler of all time! WAIT! Athena really IS here! The fans cheer as THE ROH Women’s World Champion is on AEW!
Athena goes to the ring, and she holds up her spinner belt while looking at Mone’s collection. The fans are all behind Athena and that annoys Mone. Mone puts her belts aside, to take a swing on Athena! Athena dodges and DECKS Mone! The fans cheer, Athena goes to the corner, and Robyn helps Mone up. Mone gets away, O-FACE for Robyn! Well, not the target Athena wanted, but Athena does look at Mone’s TBS Championship. Athena shouts, “This is MY show now!” Will Athena’s Forever Reign be the one to add more gold? Or has she just put herself on Mone’s gold colleting radar?
Backstage interview with Queen Aminata.
Lexy Nair is with the One True African Queen, and it would seem there is unfortunate news. Aminata’s hand is wrapped up, she is unable to compete tonight. Taking her place in tonight’s main event is Billie Starkz. Given all this, how does- Serena Deeb walks in. Deeb smirks and says Aminata must know this was preventable, right? Deeb had the game plan, offered it to Aminata, and Aminata didn’t want to listen. Let’s look at history, Aminata. Every time Aminata listened, she won. Every time she didn’t, not only does she lose, she ends up injured. This is all choices. Everything they do is choices. And unfortunately, Aminata made the wrong choice.
Aminata admits, Deeb is right. Everything is about choices. And Aminata still choose not to listen to Deeb’s trash! Not listening to any of that. Okay, Queen, Deeb respects that. But deep down, Aminata knows Deeb is right. And if Aminata thinks there’s a slight chance that she knows that Deeb is right, well, Aminata will have some weeks at home to rest up. Here’s some reading material. Deeb shoves her playbook into Aminata’s hand, will Aminata do her homework?
“Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith VS Top Flight w/ Leila Grey!
Speaking of learning, The Redwood & Bad Apple want to make The Learning Tree proud, and that means winning some championships to go along with Chris Jericho’s ROH World Title. Will Bill & Keith be one step closer to facing The Hurt Syndicate with tonight? Or will Darius & Dante Martin soar far above the trees to be next in line for gold?
The teams sort out and Bill starts against Darius. The fans rally, but Dante wants in! Darius tags Dante in, and now Keith says he wants in! Bill tags Keith, he and Dante tie up, and they go around. Keith puts Dante on ropes, Dante turns things around, but Dante lets off as the ref counts. The two go again, Keith arm-drags hard and has the armlock. Dante rolls and arm-drags free, then he DROPKICKS Keith down! The fans fire up, Dante A-LIST LARIATS! Tag to Darius, he snap suplexes Keith and tag sin Dante. Slingshot SENTON! The fans cheer, Dante brings Keith up but Keith shoves free!
Darius tags in, Top Flight gets Keith for the LARIAT STO COMBO! Cover, TWO! Darius stands Keith up to CHOP, then UPPERCUT! Darius whips corner to corner, Keith reverses, but Darius goes up and over. Darius rolls, but Keith ROUNDHOUSES him down! Keith brings Darius over, tag to Bill, and the fans boo as Bill & Keith mug Darius. Bill drags Darius up but Darius fires body shots! Bill CLUBS Darius down, then puts him in a corner. Bill CHOPS Darius, Darius sputters and the fans fire up. Bill stands Darius up, Darius fires more body shots, but Bill CHOPS again! Bill brings Darius over, tags in Keith, but Darius fires forearms and elbows!
Darius ROCKS Bill, goes up to BOOT, then TORNADO- NO, Bill puts Darius on the apron! Darius ROCKS Bill, but Keith BOOTS Darius! Keith goes out after Darius to CHOP him, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Keith stands Darius up, CLAWS his eyes, and then CHOPS him again! Darius staggers away, Keith storms after him, and then Keith puts Darius in the ring. Keith pushes Darius to a cover, TWO! Keith argues with the ref but the count is the count. Keith drops a knee on Darius’ face, then covers, TWO! Keith is getting annoyed, but he tells Dante to pipe down. Darius fires body shots and forearms, but Keith ROUNDHOUSES him down again. Keith brings Darius up to whip, but then sends him back the other way for an ELBOW! Bill applauds but he might be the only one. Keith steps on Darius’ face, then has a cocky cover, TWO!
Keith references Jericho but that doesn’t finish it, so Keith clamps on a CAMEL CLUTCH! Darius endures, even as Keith CLAWS his face! The ref reprimands, Keith stops, and Darius fights up. Darius pries at the hold, but Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Bill BODY BLOWS Darius down! The fans are torn as Bill stalks Darius. Bill drags Darius back by a leg but the fans continue to rally for Top Flight. Keith runs in around the way, but Dante SUPERKICKS Keith first! Darius lunges forward, hot tag to Dante! The fans fire up as Dante springboards, but Bill gets under. Dante comes back, but Bill LARIATS him down! Bill grins and soaks up cheers and jeers. Bill runs in at Dante to SPLASH! Then he runs at Darius to SPLASH! Back to Dante for a BOOT! Darius dodges the lariat, but not the BOSS MAN SLAM! The fans are torn as Bill talks trash on Bobby Lashley!
Bill soaks up the cheers and jeers while Keith has Dante in the corner. Bill runs up, but Dante slips free! The SPLASH takes out Keith! Dante HURDLES Bill!? But no Darius, so Dante realizes he’s cornered. Bill storms up, Dante BOOTS him away, and Darius returns! Tag to Darius, and Dante runs up. Bill scoops, Dante slips free, and Dante BLASTS Keith while Darius HOTSHOTS Bill! Dante ENZIGIRIS, Darius GAMANGIRIS, and Dante SUPERKICKS! Bill staggers into the step-in COMPLETE SHOT! The fans fire up while Bill bails out, and Keith runs up! Darius gives Dante the alley-oop, then Dante helps Darius TORNADO DDT Keith!

Bill hoists Dante up, SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAM! Cover, Bill & Keith win!
Winners: “Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith, by pinfall
If that teamwork and victory doesn’t say they’re ready, that look on Bill’s face sure does. Will the Learning Tree do this to the Hurt Syndicate? Or will Lashley & Shelton just hurt people?
Wait, The Cru slithers in! They have the chain necklaces ready like last week! Leila spots them, but it’s AR FOX that jumps in! Fox stands with Top Flight and The Cru backs off. Action says that’s fine, they’ll let it go this time. But will The Sight to See & The Man of the Hour ground Top Flight one way or another?
Backstage interview with Jamie Hayter.
Lexy Nair is with the Southampton Hayter and welcomes her back. Last time we saw her, she was victorious over Julia Hart, and now she’s in the main event of Collision. How does it feel to be back again? Hayter says it feels great. And if you know Hayter, you know she doesn’t like doing things by half measures. So being in the main event is just another Saturday night for her. But she will say she is very excited to be in the ring with a young whippersnapper like Billie Starkz. It really injects some energy into Hayter, it lights that fire. And Billie has a lot of fire herself, and Hayter likes that. Billie gets knocked down but she gets back up.
And Hayter while respects that about Billie, she doesn’t want Billie to confuse respect for mercy. If Billie steps to Hayter, Hayter will hit back and knock her on her ass. There’s no hesitation, no second chances. So if Hayter were Billie, she’d be smart. Or, find out the hard way. Your choice. Oh, and one more thing. Hayter noticed some girls are already putting in for the Owen Hart Tournament, so Hayter will do that, too. And it is very fitting that she returned at All In last year, because this year, she leaves All In the champion! Hayter is ready, how hard will she hit Billie on this Collision?
Adam Cole is here!
The Undisputed Kingdom follows him out, complete with “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE BAYBAY!” as the Panama City Playboy prepares for his NO TIME LIMIT AEW TNT Championship match at Dynasty. As such, here comes the champion, Daniel Garcia! Daddy Magic has Garcia’s back as he goes to the ring, and the fans cheer for all parties involved. Cole has the mic and wants Garcia to listen. Cole knows tensions are high, but he’ll make this crystal clear: Cole has all the respect in the world for Garcia. The past two matches they’ve had are two of the toughest matches Cole’s had in his AEW career.
When they saw Garcia is the future of AEW, Cole means that in his soul, and the fans sure believe that. That is because Garcia is a fighting champion. When Cole challenged Garcia for the TNT Championship, Cole could not get the job done. But neither did Garcia. And so as a fighting champion, that must make Garcia sick to his stomach. He must not be able to sleep at night knowing he didn’t and couldn’t put Cole away. And unless Garcia is a coward, he’d want to change that. Cole sure wants to change that. Cole doesn’t want things to end in a draw. This needs to end with one man proving that he is better than the other, and dammit, that man is Cole!
Cole knows, Garcia knows, the entire world knows, that Garcia and Cole need to finish this fight. The fans cheer, Garcia nods, and he tells Cole he appreciates the kind words. Garcia agrees with a lot of that. They’ve been in the ring almost two months straight. And as much fun as it has been testing his iron against one of the best, truly, Garcia is getting a little bit frustrated. It is eating Garcia alive that he couldn’t beat Cole. Matt Menard tells Garcia that he is THE TNT Champion. How many chances is Cole gonna get? Garcia doesn’t need to be talked into this. It is Cole’s job to defeat Garcia, and Cole couldn’t do it!
Menard says Garcia doesn’t have to go through with this. Garcia pats Menard on the shoulder and says yeah, he doesn’t have to do this. But he wants to! So then, they will run it back one last time, BAYBAY! Roddy shouts, “DANNYYY~! Hey, listen. I have all the respect in the world for you. And just like Adam said, you are the future. And I’m not just saying this because he’s my best friend, but he is one of the best pro-wrestlers on the planet. And as good as you are, you’re just not there yet, dude.” Menard says, “Not there yet?” Menard and Roddy argue, Kyle joins in, but Garcia tells them all that this is enough!
Enough noise, enough distractions! April 6th, Kyle won’t be out there, Roddy won’t be out there, and Menard won’t be out there. Menard is a bit taken aback, but Garcia says at Dynasty, there will be no one ringside, there will be no time limit, and it will be Cole VS Garcia for the TNT Championship, ONE LAST TIME, and there WILL be a winner, cuz you’re looking right at him! Garcia holds up the title, but will he still own that title when it’s all said and done? Or is Dynasty going to be Undisputed?
Athena & Billie Starkz regroup backstage.
The Fallen Goddess says, “Mercedes~! HAHA~! Is that it?” Billie says yeah, just about. Athena says that is so annoying. But what’s the expression? Poke a bear, it might bite you? Well here’s one better. Mercedes, if you’re gonna be a passive aggressive b*tch, you’re gonna get hit. How did you like the taste of the floor? Was it good for Mercedes? Cuz it was great for Athena. So use this as a learning lesson: Keep Athena’s name, and her Minion’s name, out of your damn mouth. But hey! Mone is in the business of collecting championships? OMG, she’s such an inspiration, Athena is gonna do the same thing.
So how about this? Let’s get to real business, not that Mone knows what that is. Athena declares to her Minions and to the AEW fans around the world. Your Forever ROH Champion, Fallen Goddess, American Joshi, Minion Overlord, and all those other things, is OFFICIALLY ENTERING the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament! That’s great, right? And Billie! Billie made this all come together, what a brilliant little schemer she’s becoming. Billie has her match tonight! The main event! Look at her! And against a former AEW Women’s World Champion, Jamie Hayter. Is she ready? Yeah, she’s ready! She’ll make Athena proud!
Athena is sure Billie will find a way to disappoint, but tonight, Athena will be watching very closely. Good luck. Billie gives a salute, and it seems no matter if it’s ROH or AEW, Athena keeps Billie under her thumb. Will the inaugural and former ROH Women’s World TV Champion prove she’s ready for the big time?
Dax Harwood VS Wheeler Yuta!
Rated FTR made the challenge for the AEW World Trios Championships, The Death Riders made the challenge for Rated FTR to survive. And while Claudio wants Cope’s head on Dynamite, this Collision will kick things off! Will Dax the Ax chop down the youngest member of Moxley’s crew? Or will The Decoder already figure Dax out?
The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. They tie up, break, then go again. They break again, fans chant “YUTA SUCKS!” and Dax smirks. Dax and Yuta circle, tie up, and Dax spins Yuta to wrench an arm. Yuta rolls, switches the wrench and has the wristlock. Dax rolls, spins, and he wrenches to then slip through and headlock fort the takeover! Dax pushes Yuta down to a cover, ONE, but Dax holds onto the headlock. Yuta powers Dax to a corner, the ref counts, and both men let go slowly. Yuta KNEES low! The fans boo and the ref reprimands, but Yuta CHOPS! Yuta talks trash, whips corner to corner, but Dax reverses.
Yuta comes back, but Dax scoops him to SLAM him! Yuta UP KICKS, then he scoops to SLAM! Dax UP KICKS, both men get up, and Dax headlocks for a takeover! Yuta headscissors, Dax kips free, and roles reverse as now Yuta headlocks for the takeover. Dax keeps his shoulders up, but Yuta grinds the hold. The fans rally for Dax, he fights up, and Dax powers up and out. Yuta runs Dax over, keeps on moving, then he ducks the boot! Dax scoops, Yuta slips free, and Yuta chicken wings! Dax drops down to trip Yuta up, and Dax steps through, only for Yuta to scramble to the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, and Yuta UP KICKS!

There are fans chanting for Yuta?! Yuta puts Dax’s arm on the steps to STOMP it! Yuta then goes to a corner, pulls the covers off the crossbars, and he drags Dax through!
Yuta stands on Dax’s arm to dig it into the crossbar! The ref reprimands, then counts, but Yuta stops at 4, and he reminds the ref, “I have ’til FIVE!” The fans are torn as Yuta copies Danielson, then he drags Dax up to the very top. SUPER DUPER PLEX! Both men are down and Milwaukee fires up as Collision goes picture in picture.
A standing count starts, but Yuta crawls over to Dax at 4 of 10. Cover, TWO! Yuta is annoyed but he drags Dax into a top wristlock. Yuta stands on the arm, then STOMPS it!

Yuta SLAMS the arm off the steps, then he flexes while soaking up cheers and jeers. Dax goes into the ring, Yuta goes up top, and Yuta MISSILE DROPKICKS! Yuta kips up, grins, and then takes a bow. Yuta STOMPS the bad arm again, and Dax goes to another corner.
Yuta storms up to CLUB Dax, then he wraps the bad arm around the ropes! The ref counts, Yuta stops at 4, and then he wrenches Dax into a snapmare. Yuta drops a knee on the elbow! Then Yuta clamps on a cording hold, only for Dax to fight up. Yuta wrenches, but Dax ROCKS him! Dax CHOPS Yuta, then JABS, JABS, JABS, before he DECKS Yuta! Yuta gets up but Dax DECKS him again! Dax LARIATS Yuta up and out, then hurries after him. Dax counter punches Yuta, runs up, but Yuta dodges! Dax runs into the POST! Yuta hurries to THROW Dax over the barriers! The ref reprimands Yuta while Collision returns to single picture.
Yuta returns to the ring, soaks up the heat, then goes back outside. Dax rises, Yuta ROCKS him! Dax CHOPS, Yuta ROCKS, then Dax ROCKS Yuta again and again! Dax DECKS Yuta, then hops up an dover the barrier. Dax reels Yuta in, but Yuta fights the driver! The bad arm also holds Dax back, and then Yuta BACKDROPS free! Yuta hears the ring count, and he puts Dax in at 6 of 10. Yuta storms in, but Dax has his leg! DRAPING DRAGON SCREW! Yuta hobbles, Dax grabs the leg for a DRAGON SCREW! Dax drags Yuta to a corner, and now for some payback! Dax SLAMS Yuta’s leg into the POST! Yuta writhes, but Dax grabs the legs again!
Dax shouts out The Hitman with the HANGING FIGURE FOUR! Yuta shouts in pain, the ref reprimands and counts, but Dax lets go at 4. Dax storms in, Yuta wants mercy, but Dax just grabs the leg again. Dax steps through but Yuta BOOTS him into the POST! Yuta hobbles his way over as Dax goes to the apron. Yuta climbs up top, but Dax CLUBS a leg! Yuta sits on the corner, and Dax climbs up!

Dax trips Yuta, ties up the legs, SHARPSHOOTER! Yuta endures while the fans fire up!
Yuta scrambles around and finds the ROPEBREAK! Dax holds until 4, and then shakes out the bad arm. Yuta talks with the ref, Dax runs up, and Dax HIP TOSSES, but Yuta uses that to arm-drag and SEATBELT!! YUTA WINS!
Winner: Wheeler Yuta, by pinfall
Dax can’t believe it, but he just got suckered in! Yuta celebrates like he’s already won the title match, and Claudio is there to pat Yuta on the back. Will the Death Riders keep scoring as Claudio takes on Cope? Or can Rated FTR even things up before Dynasty? Dax argues with the ref, the ref says his decision stands. His count was the count, there’s nothing to it. But then Dax gets in the ref’s face?!? Security rushes in there, but Dax fights them!? They hold Dax down, but Cash YANKS them all off him! But then Dax SHOVES Cash?! Dax realizes what he did and he apologizes. Cash is stunned, but just what is going on with Dax’s emotional state?
Dax offers a hand, Cash slaps it away to get in Dax’s face! Dax says he’s sorry, it was a mistake, but then Cash storms off. Well, guess you can’t spell frustration without F T R. Will they be able to sort this out before arriving in Philadelphia?
Backstage interview with The Patriarchy.
Alicia Atout is with Kip Sabian, Nick Wayne & Mother Shayna, and notes that just like last week, they’re here without any sign of Christian Cage. Just what is going on with The Patriarchy? But before anyone can speak up, The Cru barges in. Lio Rush asks Nick, “What’s up with your boy, Fox, man?” Nick says, “Huh?” Lio repeats himself, what’s up with his boy? Uh, his boy? Fox is far from Nick’s boy. Really? They know they’re history together. Didn’t Fox try to end Nick’s career? So Nick is just gonna chill back here while Fox is out there still breathing? Nick says okay, he gets what they’re up to here. Oh, really? And what’s that?
What The Cru is really doing is asking Nick for help, simply because they can’t get the job done. Oh, is that so? Nick doesn’t blame them for asking him. But Nick’s done with Fox, that is well in the past. Well Nick’s past is creeping up on their present, so for them, that’s an issue. Oh, is that really an issue? Kip has Nick calm down. These “gentlemen” surely didn’t come and interrupt them without a reason, so The Patriarchy should hear them out. AKA, get to the point. Lio says this is all they’re saying. Three of them, two of The Cru. But when the time is right, nobody knows Fox better than Nick Wayne. Just think on it.
The Cru heads out, but will The Patriarchy’s Prodigy take them up on the offer to team up?
Holo.grm VS Blake Christian w/ Lee Johnson!
The futuristic luchador’s undefeated streak continues, even as he joins Komander as a Titan of the Air. But while Hologram & Komander have settled things with La Faccion Ingobernable, this battle is about the Revolution Zero Hour last month. Will the Vanilla Babyface avenge that loss? Or will he just be number 22 on Hologram’s win streak?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Hologram and Blake circle, approach, and then Blake slips past Hologram to strut. Blake then pie faces Hologram, talks some smack, and things speed up. Hologram RANAS, then hurdles, rolls, and pops Blake up. Blake RANAS back, then kips up! Blake runs up, but Hologram goes up and over. They both handspring, and Blake shadows Hologram. Blake chest bumps Hologram, then wheelbarrows, but Hologram rolls through to then step over, bridge back, but Blake turns that around on Hologram! Hologram keeps Blake away with boots, then rolls him up, ONE! DROPKICKS cancel out, both men kip up, and the fans fire up!
Blake mockingly applauds, but the fans rally behind Hologram. Blake offers a handshake, but then he SLAPS Hologram! The fans boo, Blake talks trash, and then Blake whips. Hologram handsprings, rolls, and SOBATS, KICKS, and CHOPS! The fans fire up as Blake flops back! Hologram builds speed, but Blake is up! Blake TOSSES Hologram out, then he builds speed. But Hologram ducks the slide! Blake runs up, Hologram sends Blake up to the apron! Blake mule kicks, but Hologram avoids the Quebrada! Hologram SUPERKICKS, then he goes to the apron! Blake avoids the leap, Hologram comes back, but Blake sends him into steel steps!
The fans boo while Hologram is down, but Collision goes to picture in picture.
Lee applauds Blake and Blake rolls into the ring. Blake distracts the ref so that Lee can stomp away on Hologram! Big Shotty gets away with that, and Blake waits on Hologram. Hologram rises, Blake builds speed, FOSBURY TOPE! Blake offers high-fives to the fans, but he leaves them all hanging. Blake drags Hologram up, puts him in the ring, then he stomps Hologram. Blake brings Hologram up, and he pulls at the mask! The ref reprimands, but Hologram KICKS Blake from below! Blake storms up to stomp Hologram again! Blake drags Hologram onto the ropes, CHOKES him, but stops as the ref counts.
Blake runs to STRADDLE ATTACK Hologram! Blake drags Hologram back up but Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Blake has Hologram down with a motorcycle stretch. Hologram fights up as the fans rally, but Blake spins Hologram to keep the hold. But Hologram flips through, reels Blake in, NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, TWO! Things speed up, and Hologram SHOTGUNS Blake first! Blake bails out, the fans fire up, and Hologram builds speed to DIVE! Lee takes the hit for Blake! The fans fire up, Hologram hurries to find Blake, but Blake kicks low! Blake drags Hologram up onto the barriers?! But Hologram fires body shots! And he RANAS Blake to the floor! Blake narrowly avoids hitting the steel steps and the fans fire up!
Hologram high-fives the front row, then stalks after Blake. Hologram goes up the steel steps, Lee storms up but Hologram mule kicks him! Blake jumps up to SPANISH FLY to the floor! Blake puts Hologram in, then springboards for a 450 SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! Hologram survives and Blake is frustrated! Blake slaps Hologram around, eggs him on, and then puts some stank on the- HEEL KICK from Hologram! Hologram fires up, he blocks Blake’s kick, but Blake SUPERKICKS from the other side! Blake whips, Hologram reverses, Blake rolls off the back, and he shoves Hologram to then SNAP POWERSLAM!
Blake somersaults to go to the ropes, LIONSAULT, but he has to bail out! Blake keeps running, Hologram gets him for a SPANISH FLY! Hologram fires up, torture racks Blake, but Blake slips free! Blake SWATS a lariat, ELBOWS Hologram, BODY BLOWS and BACKHANDS! SLING-DOG! Blake fires up, the fans boo, but Blake handsprings, into the torture rack! Airplane spin and PORTAL BOMB!! Cover, HOLOGRAM WINS!
Winner: Hologram, by pinfall
Vanilla Babyface was spicy, but Hologram comes out hotter! Will this 22-0 streak show Hologram is ready for a golden opportunity?
Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa & Kris Statlander.
Lexy is now with La Mera Mera & The Galaxy’s Greatest as she says we can officially announce they are also entering the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament! Kris says that last year, she was a completely different person in a much different place. But she still had the same goals as she does today. “To every woman in this tournament, and to every woman in the locker room, you can’t stop Stat!” Rosa says, “Unless you face me.” Much respect to Kris, but like Rosa told Toni Storm, Rosa never lost the AEW Women’s World Championship, and she’s yet to wear one since. So believe her when she says this: She will scratch and claw harder than ever to have the Cup above her head.
Kris says, “Unless you face me.” Rosa says okay, mamacita. See you in the Owen. They each wish the other luck, and then head out. Will La Mera Mera & The Galaxy’s Greatest battle to prove who is TRULY the best of the best?
Jamie Hayter VS Billie Starkz!
Hayter was preparing for Aminata, but it would seem Aminata’s loss to Hart has also lost her some time in the ring. But Billie is ready to step up to prove herself worthy of AEW’s bright lights! Will this be the start of Starkz’s legacy? Or will Hayter Hit Hard enough to be the number one seed in the Owen Hart Cup?
The bell rings and Billie circles with Hayter. Milwaukee cheers on Billie and Hayter encourages it. The two then tie up, and Hayter powers Billie to a corner. The ref counts, Hayter lets off with a pat on the shoulder, and Billie frowns. The two reset, tie up again, and Hayter again powers Billie to a corner. The ref counts again, and Hayter lets off with another pat on the shoulder. Billie frowns again, but the fans duel, “Let’s Go, Jamie!” “Billie Starkz!” They tie up, Hayter headlocks, and she grinds Billie down. Billie powers up and out, but Hayter runs Billie over! Things keep moving and Hayter runs Billie over again!
Hayter flexes, the fans are torn, but Billie is right up to stare Hayter down. The fans cheer, but Hayter pie faces Billie! Billie ROCKS Hayter! Billie whips, then follows, and she sunset flips over, TWO! Hayter gets up, Billie BUZZSAWS her down! The fans rally up, Billie whips Hayter but Hayter reverses. Hayter runs up, but into an ELBOW! Hayter comes back, but into a BOOT! Hayter is annoyed, she blocks boots this time but not the rebound ENZIGIRI! Billie goes up, up, but Hayter TOSSES Billie down! Billie writhes, rises, and Hayter is up the corner to MISSILE DROPKICK! Hayter flexes, the fans are torn, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Hayter stalks Billie, stomps her down, then stands on her! Billie endures until Hayter steps off, and then Hayter puts Billie on the ropes. Hayter CHOKES Billie, the ref counts, and Hayter steps off at 4. Hayter “apologizes” before she stalks Billie. Hayter drags Billie up, DDTS her by the ropes, then puts her back on the ropes. Hayter KNEE DROPS on Billie’s back, then KNEE DROPS again! And again! The ref reprimands but Hayter backs off. Hayter fires up the fans, then she goes back to kneel on Billie’s neck! The ref reprimands and counts, that’s not a cover! Hayter backs off, “apologizes” again, then has Billie in a corner.
Hayter smacks Billie off buckles, then runs her corner to corner to smack her off more buckles! Then Hayter goes to a third corner for buckle bumps! Hayter says let’s finish the set, and she runs Billie corner to corner for a buckle bump! Billie falls back, Hayter dusts her hands off, and then brings Billie up. But Billie WRINGS Hayter’s arm! And she SUPERKICKS Hayter down! Hayter staggers up, ducks the heel kick, and she shoves Billie for a SPINEBUSTER! Hayter then turns Billie over, HALF CRAB! Billie endures, reaches out for ropes, but Hayter sits deep on the hold! Billie reaches out, grits her teeth, and Collision returns to single picture.
Hayter tells Billie to just give up, but Billie refuses! The fans rally harder, and Billie powers up! Billie claws and crawls, to the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, and Hayter lets go in frustration. Hayter runs, but Billie DUMPS her to the apron! Hayter swings, Billie ducks it to sweep the legs! SUPERKICK and Hayter goes to the floor! Billie builds speed and DIVES! Down goes Hayter at the ramp! Billie rises, the fans fire up, and Billie drags Hayter up and into the ring. Billie hurries up the corner while Hayter is down, SWANTON BOMB! Cover, TWO! Hayter stays in this and Billie is seeing what it is to be a former world champion.
Billie drags Hayter up, reels her in, and suplexes, only for Hayter to slip free! The fans duel while Hayter fireman’s carries, but Billie slips free to throw her down! Hayter gets up, DOUBLE FOREARMS from both women connect! DOUBLE ROUNDHOUSES connect, too! And then Hater SHOTGUNS Billie into a corner! The fans rally up harder while both women are down! Billie drags herself up with the ropes, Hayter rises at center. Hayter powers up, kisses the bicep, but Billie ducks the lariat to suplex! GHOSTBUSTER!! Cover, TWO!! Hayter survives and Billie is shocked! Billie seethes, and she storms up on Hayter!
Billie Electric Chair Lifts Hayter, but Hayter fires hands! Hayter shoves Billie away, fireman’s carries, and USHIGOROSHI! Hayter runs, and SLIDING HAYTERADE!! Cover, TWO!! Billie survives and now Hayter is frustrated! Hayter is seeing why Billie is the first and former ROH Women’s TV Champion. Hayter hauls Billie up, but Billie ducks the lariat! SNAP HALF ‘N’ HALF! Billie powers up, runs, but Hayter follows to LARIAT at the ropes! Hayter runs, Billie follows, and Billie BOOTS Hayter at the ropes! Billie runs, but Hayter SUPERKICKS! And ENZIGIRIS! Billie winds up, but Hayter gets under! GERMAN SUPLEX!! Cover, TWO!!
The fans are thunderous while Hayter is beside herself. Hayter grits her teeth and vows to end it! Hayter throws off the armbands, drags Billie up to wind up and- NO, Billie ducks the lariat to cravat and KNEE SMASH, then HEEL KICK! Billie fires up, winds up, but Hayter ducks that shot! Billie tries again, but Hayter blocks it to a cording hold! Hayter brings Billie along as she goes to the ropes, SPRINGBOARD HAYTERADE!!! Cover, HAYTER WINS!
Winner: Jamie Hayter, by pinfall
Now that was a Collision! Hayter is back, and she finds a new way to hit hard! Athena walks out on stage, and she waves hi to Hayter. Whether Billie impressed her or disappointed her, Athena now has her eyes on Hayter and everyone else in the Owen Hart Cup. Will the Fallen Goddess learn for herself that Hayter Hits Hard? Or will the Owen Hart Cup join the Athena World Domination Tour soon enough?
My Thoughts:
A very good Collision, talky as usual, but very good build towards Dynasty and the Owen Hart Cup simultaneously. Great opening promo from Toni, because she’s always great at promos, but they did a great job framing Ford’s blindside attack on Toni. And while Toni takes down Ford, Megan of course gets the last say on Toni. Toni is the underdog champion, knows she is, but knows she won’t let that stop her, and surely she comes out on top at Dynasty. Good promo from The Death Riders to hype up Dynamite. Claudio was very clever in using “Edge” and “Cope” in his part, and he will have a great match against Cope, but I would think Cope wins.
Marina had a great part calling out Willow, and that Mixed Tornado Tag will be awesome stuff. Dax VS Yuta was great, too, and real good win for Yuta. Dax losing his cool further waters the seed that is an FTR Heel Turn, but if this keeps up between Dax and Cash, could we end up with FTR VS FTR? That’d be rather wild, but it’d also make sense since FTR at some point said they were drawing closer to the end of their careers. A tag team like them, that has already done so much, having a 1v1 against each other is kinda the last thing to check off their bucket lists.
Great tag match from Bill & Keith VS Top Flight, one of the best Top Flight’s had in a minute since they’ve been going back and forth between AEW and ROH, but I figured Bill & Keith would win. They want their shot at The Hurt Syndicate, this gets them a step closer to that, and Top Flight still has The Cru after them anyway. I’m just not sure The Cru asking Nick Wayne to help out against Top Flight & AR Fox is the kind of story continuity they should be using right about now… Nick’s busy with this story against Christian Cage, he should focus on that. Unless the point is, if Patriarchy falls apart, Nick needs somewhere to go and someone to hand out with. But then The Cru is just three- Gasp! Cru-serweights…!
Great promo segment from Cole, Garcia and their friends, but uh, the announcement came in right as this segment started, so for us at home, it completely undercut how Garcia and Cole were building to making the No Time Limit title match. This is all still the right move, and Garcia telling Menard to stay away from ringside was a wild twist. Cole VS Garcia could be a borderline show stealer given how great their 20 minute draw was last time. And I still think that Cole should win the title, just so he finally has something in AEW aside from the tag title run alongside MJF. As for Garcia, losing the TNT title could be his opportunity to move on to another title, like the International or Continental Championship.
Hologram VS Blake was a rather random match to put on, but whatever, still great stuff. I wonder who finally pins/submits Hologram to end his win streak. It’d have to be someone that fans already have strong feelings for, good or bad. Like, Ospreay could get away being the guy that beats Hologram because it’s Ospreay. At the same time, MJF or Jericho could beat Hologram because not only do they have the power level, but fans love to hate them anyway so they’d love to hate MJF or Jericho as the guy who ended the streak.
And great stuff with the Women’s Owen Hart Cup, but also a build between Mercedes Mone and Athena. Mone of course beat Robyn Renegade, but she of course also had to talk trash on Billie & Athena. Athena finally being on AEW TV is great in itself, and she had a good promo with Billie to touch on the love-hate relationship between Minion Overlord and Minion 400,237 & 3/4ths that we’ve seen the past two years on ROH. Aminata going down with injury is a shame, and her promo with Deeb could’ve been a bit sharper on both ends. But Deeb naturally puts it on Aminata that Aminata needs to either join her or wrestle her, and I’m thinking we get the latter.
Good promo from Rosa and Statlander to not only add them to the Owen Hart Cup but to tease their match-up. Hayter VS Billie was a great main event, and it was another great showing for Billie in the loss. Athena confronting Hayter was also good stuff, and both Owen Hart Cups are looking to be the most star-studded ones yet. But as it stands, I’m thinking Rosa wins to get that world title match she has yet to get, and then we get Mone VS Athena for the TBS Championship, as teased tonight. All In: Texas will basically give both Rosa and Athena homefield advantage, and it’d be pretty wild if both of them won titles then.
