The Rated R Superstar finally took this title away and kept it away from Christian Cage after a truly brutal I Quit match in Toronto. And here in London, Ontario, Edge gets the mic to tell them the fan sign says it all, this is Copeland Country! Edge could do this every night! The fans chant for “ADAM! ADAM!” and he thanks them. A week and a half ago, he finally closed the book on Christian Cage. Now, time to start a new chapter! Time to go back to a little something called The Cope Open. Only this time, the stakes are higher. Because he is here to put his TNT Championship on the line now!
Edge won’t run and hide like the Patriarchy. He is here to fight! So since he’s here, who’s gonna step up? The fans fire up as it’s MATT CARDONA!

Cardona ROCKS Edge with a forearm, then whips him corner to corner. Edge slides out, says up Cardona’s, and so Cardona storms out after him!

Edge drags Cardona up, brings him around, puts him on the apron, then goes up to join him. Edge brings Cardona up, but Cardona CLAWS the eyes! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Cardona lets off at 4. Then he SHOVES Edge into the steel steps! The fans boo more as Collision goes picture in picture.
Edge stirs on the floor, Cardona talks some smack, then he drags Edge up. Cardona SMACKS Edge off the desk, then soaks up the heat. Edge crawls but Cardona knees him down! Cardona takes a fan sign and RIPS it! Not easily, though, that was cardboard rather than paper. But Cardona SMACKS Edge off the steps, refreshes the count, then brings Edge up again. Cardona puts Edge in the ring, stalks him to a corner and digs a knee in, but the ref counts. Cardona lets off to argue with the ref, then he brings Edge up. NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Cardona is frustrated but he stomps Edge around. Then CHOKES him!
The ref counts, Cardona lets off, and he stalks Edge to ropes. Cardona CHOKES Edge on the ropes! Cardona says “WOO WOO WOO!” then smirks. Cardona stalks Edge, throws crossface forearms, then clamps on a neck wrench. Edge endures, Cardona shifts to a chinlock, but the fans rally up. Edge fights up, pries at the hold, and Collision returns to single picture. Edge throws body shots, but Cardona throws him down by his hair! The fans boo but Cardona soaks it up. Cardona says he’s gonna retire Edge and he digs the knee into Edge’s back. Edge endures that and the chinlock again and the fans rally back up.

Cardona tries to figure out what he has to do, so he decides to parody Edge! He stomps around in the corner, takes aim as Edge rises, and runs in, into a SPEAR!! Cover, EDGE WINS!
Winner: Adam “Edge” Copeland, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
The King of the Indies tried to overtake his former mentor, but he just couldn’t! Will TNT continue to be Rated R with Edge as their champion? Wait, the lights go out! What’s going on here?! MALAKAI BLACK?! The fans freak out as the Dark Father stares Edge down! Malakai smirks as he stares Edge down, and Edge isn’t sure what to make of this. Malakai then starts foaming black mist, and BUDDY MATTHEWS attacks! The fans boo as the House of Black couldn’t just play fair! But wait! Here comes Mark Briscoe! The Sussex County Chicken still has problems with the House, but he runs into a BOOT and a POP-UP KNEE!
The fans boo as Buddy stomps Edge and Malakai stomps Edge! But then EDDIE KINGSTON storms in! The Mad King stands tall alongside Mark and Edge, but then the lights go down again! And when they come back up, no more House of Black. Eddie sighs and rolls his eyes, but the fans cheer Eddie for taking a stand. Is Edge going to need all the help he can get taking on the full House? As for Mark and Eddie, they’re going to face off for the ROH World Championship next Friday, will their friendship survive that brutal Supercard of Honor showdown?
Backstage interview with FTR.
Lexi Nair is with Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler, and she says as former two-time AEW World Tag Team Champions, they are considered the favorites for the tournament. Tonight, they face The Infantry who have a lot of momentum going for them after defeating The House of Black. What are their strategy going into tonight? Cash appreciates Lexi saying it, but he doesn’t see FTR as the favorites. He doesn’t know if anyone’s noticed, but FTR’s on a bit of a losing streak. Last time, they got choked out by Moxley & Claudio. So the strategy is to not look past anyone. This is a young and hungry team stepping up, and that excites Cash.
Dax adds that this is March Madness, and one of the most exciting and impressive things in March Madness is the “Cinderella team.” In this tournament, Infantry is the Cinderella and that means FTR has to win. They have to be the first three-time World Tag Team Champions in this company’s history, to be the most decorated tag team in the world, ELEVEN-TIME tag team champions total. So yeah, we all love the Cinderella team story, but tonight it ends. She don’t get the shoe, #TopGuysOut. Then will FTR make sure Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo are the ones that go back to Boot Camp?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
Tonight, please welcome “Daddy Ass” Billy Gunn & The Acclaimed! The fans fire up as Caster, Bowens & Billy are back, already mic’d up but in no mood for a diss track. Bowens still says “LLLONDOON, ONTARIOOO~! The Acclaimed have arrived! Scissor me, Daddy Ass!” And he does~! Schiavone says a lot has gone on. For one, the split of the Bang Bang Scissor Gang, and we saw last night what Jay White and Billy’s sons have been up to. They invaded the Gunn family home. White is the man behind it, so Schiavone lets Billy have the mic to speak his mind. The fans sing “OH~ Scissor Me, Daddy!” as he takes a moment to think.
Billy appreciates the singing, London, but he’s a little pissed off right now. And he is pissed off at one particular person: Jay White. White, Billy can get past getting hit with a chair. But he can’t get past White coming into his house where he and his wife live. And also, White talking about selling out Madison Square Garden. Hell, Billy did that so many times he can’t even remember. So your ass better call somebody! But if Billy remembers right, White lost his match! Just like he’ll lose next week. Because next week, Dynamite, it is Jay White VS Billy Gunn 1v1! Then we’ll see how good White really is.
The fans like the sound of that, and now Caster steps up to speak. Schiavone says this is certainly a more serious Acclaimed than we’re used to. Caster says “Yo!” “Yo!” “Yo!” “Yo!” “Yo!” “Yo!” “Listen… This message goes out to Austin & Colten, those Ass Boys!” The fans sing “ASS~ BOYS~!” and Caster says yes, ASS! So on Wednesday, while Billy beats down Jay White, if the Gunns believe in his boy, “Stepdaddy Switch,” they’ll stay in the back. So will Caster & Bowens so they can keep an eye on each other and let the match happen with no interference. If the Gunns have faith in Jay, then Acclaimed is fine with it.
Because in no world does the “Twinkblade” beat Billy in a fight, and that’s a mic drop! Bowens now says, “And now a word from the Scissor King. How we doing tonight, London?” The fans sound good and Bowens says good. He feels a lot better this week even though he shouldn’t. But it’s because he was proven right! He said Jay White was a coward, and White lived up to that! He and those “Bullet B*tches” walked into Billy’s home, then upon seeing Billy, they ran like cowards! Bowens doesn’t blame ’em, Mrs. Gunn would’ve smacked the pubes-beard off White so hard, his Charles Manson looking ass wouldn’t have stood a chance!
So next week, the demise of Bullet Club Gold begins! Because they are looking at three different individuals, three people who have everyone throwing the scissors high way in the air! And by the end of this, BCG will be looking at #AndSTILL AEW World Trios Champions! Because EVERYONE loves The Acclaimed! Challenge accepted, but will the Acclaimed be able to cut down the Switchblade & Gunns?
AEW World Tag Team Championship Tournament Quarterfinals: FTR VS The Infantry!

Backstage interview with Ricky Starks & “Big Bill” Morrissey.
Lexi Nair notes FTR won and advance to the next round, so she welcomes the other former tag team champions. We haven’t seen the Absolute & Skyscraper since they lost to Sting & Darby Allin, and they are facing Top Flight tonight in the tournament. How are they feeling about it? Bill says they are not looking past Darius & Dante by any means, they are incredibly talented. But let’s face facts: Top Flight are the 16 seed, Bill & Starks are the 1 seed. Top Flight is NOT going to the dance. In fact, Starks & Bill are going to dance their way to becoming TWO-TIME TWO-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions.
Starks adds that it sounds so nice, Bill had to say it twice. And once they beat Top Flight, they’ll go on to beat FTR. And everyone wants to say history doesn’t repeat itself, but when it comes to Starks & Bill, they are guaranteeing it will happen again. They will beat FTR and prove again why they are the BEST tag team AEW has ever seen. That’s an Absolute guarantee. History, lightning, only one of those strikes twice. Will Starks & Bill be able to capture lightning in a bottle? Or will they be the ones struck down?
Edge, Mark Briscoe & Eddie Kingston regroup backstage.
The Rated R Superstar is all worked up and he says, “Alright, I get it. This TNT Championship makes me a marked man, but House of Black, you wanna get in my business? You wanna… I just finished with Christian and you wanna hop into my business? Well I don’t know if you noticed, but I’ve got some back-up. I’ve got the Chicken, I’ve got the Mad King! So if you’ve got the NUTS, why don’t you face us? April 21st, Dynasty!” Mark shouts, “Dynasty! Dynasty, baby! The big night! But first, April 5th, ROH Supercard. Eddie Kingston, Mark Briscoe, ROH World title. Hey, promise me one thing: dog fight, brother.” Eddie says deal.
Then Mark tells the House of Black that that’s respect! This is respect here! But the House is in for a long night at Dynasty! You got the wrong three, y’all’re in trouble baby! Eddie says the House likes to spit mist and do spooky stuff. Kabushi stuff, Muta stuff. But Eddie will tell you, after Dynasty, the House will just be spitting up blood and teeth. This wild trio is ready to get even wilder, will they be the ones to burn down the House?
Kyle O’Reilly VS JD Drake!
#CombatKyle is ready to keep his return going, even if he’s fighting all on his own. Will he get just the fight he needs from #ScrapMetal? Or will this Workhorseman prove Kyle’s not as ready as he thinks?

Now Malakai Black, you like making your presence felt, you like jumping people from behind. The question is, are you man enough for a face to face challenge?

Thunder Rosa VS Lady Frost!
Everyone knows La Mera Mera is chasing the AEW Women’s World Championship, but she certainly surprised Deonna Purrazzo by sniping the pin in tag team action.

And then the underhooks, for the TIJUANA BOMB!! Cover, Rosa wins!
Winner: Thunder Rosa, by pinfall
Forces of nature clashed, and the heat has thawed the Frost away! Rosa tells “Antonia” that greatness is not publicized. La Mera Mera is here and she shows her greatness week after week! Put some respect on her name! Will Rosa be stepping right up to the leading lady soon enough?
Backstage interview with “Timeless” Toni Storm.
Renee Paquette is with the AEW Women’s World Champion and says breaking news: the top contenders face off to get their shot at Storm. And?! Well, it’s Thunder Rosa VS… Mariah May. Gasp! Storm asks her protege if this was the plan all along. Is this what Mariah’s been plotting for months? Storm takes Mariah by the face… and KISSES her!? Storm says this is brilliant! Then how does Mariah feel to be facing Rosa next week? Storm speaks over that by saying she always saw herself in Mariah. And Storm loves herself! “What do you think of that, Lightning Daffodil? HAH! You should’ve retired as champion, because you’ll never get to sniff this leather ever again!”
Storm takes a big whiff, and tells her “child,” Mariah, to mouth the words while she says them. “Chin up, tits out, and watch for the shoe~!” Yes, very good. Storm is happy, Mariah is happy, Luther tries to be happy, but will Rosa ruin all the happy endings by getting her shot at the title?
AEW takes a closer look at Will Ospreay.
Like he did for Bryan Danielson’s highlight package, Excalibur narrates, “Opinions in professional wrestling are always subjective. And yet seek out any list of the top wrestlers today, and Will Ospreay’s name is sure to be near or at the top of that list.” Born in Essex, England, Ospreay fell in love with the sport at a young age, and got into the business any way he could. Ospreay burst onto the UK scene at age 19, and found a home in Revolution Pro-Wrestling for the next decade, and becoming the second Rev-Pro Triple Crown Champion ever. He had his final match with Rev-Pro just earlier this year before truly being All Elite.
But it was NJPW where the Aerial Assassin truly took flight. He became a historic figure in the company, winning the Best of Super Juniors twice, the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship thrice, the IWGP US Championship and even the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, all while having multiple matches of the year with the likes of Kazuchika Okada and Kenny Omega. Ospreay’s meteoric rise made him one of the biggest free agents in history. In 2023 at Full Gear, he shook up the world by saying, “Mr. Tony Khan, line up the best that you’ve got! I am All Elite, bruv!” Two true greats are colliding, but who establishes their Dynasty?
Six Man Tag: Bryan Danielson, Claudio Castagnoli & Katsuyori Shibata VS Lance Archer & The Righteous!
While the American Dragon is preparing for his next dream match, he must settle some business that started a few weeks ago. He, the Swiss Superman and The Wrestler are looking to beat some respect out of their opponents, but will they get it?

The Wrestler proves he is still the measuring stick of professional wrestling! Bryan & Claudio celebrate with him while London, Ontario, Canada cheers. Will Shibata still find a way to establish his own Dynasty in AEW? Will Bryan be rolling into his dream match with Ospreay?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here, with just a couple twists I didn’t expect. For one, it’s amazing that they got Matt Cardona to be Edge’s opponent tonight, and what an awesome match from them. Good win for Edge, but the House of Black stepping up was an interesting move. Edge, Mark Briscoe & Eddie Kingston VS House of Black is going to be a great Six Man Tag, but I feel like that shouldn’t be the PPV match. The PPV match should be Edge VS Malakai for the TNT Championship after stuff over the next couple of weeks. I suppose they’re planning on making Edge VS Malakai the Double or Nothing match, but not even sure why they’d wait on it.
Great stuff in the tag team tournament, but I’m fairly certain Top Flight was not supposed to win. That was definitely an audible called after Ricky Starks was legit rocked by something in the match. That “escape” from the headstand pin was the first sign, and the tech guys having Starks’ theme at the ready and not Top Flight’s is the other. Starks just cannot catch a break in AEW, you gotta feel for him. But of course FTR won against Infantry, but that was a really good showing for Dean & Carlie. And as I’ve been saying, Bucks VS FTR has to be where they’re going with this, so sorry Top Flight, this was your big moment.
Really good promo from Acclaimed to respond to Bullet Club Gold, and I really like the nicknames Caster gave White, especially “Stepdaddy Switch.” Billy VS White 1v1 will be good stuff, but I could easily see Juice Robinson returning to screw Billy over since he’s the member The Acclaimed isn’t accounting for. Also good hype package for Ospreay to parallel Bryan’s to help non-NJPW viewers to better know who he is. Great match from Rosa VS Frost but of course Rosa won. Great promo from Storm and Mariah where Storm isn’t upset but is probably expecting Mariah to win so they can Finger Poke of Doom the title match. If nothing else, I think Deonna should get involved to make sure it is Rosa facing Storm so there won’t be shenanigans at Dynasty.
Pretty good match from Kyle VS JD but of course Kyle was winning, and of course Undisputed Kingdom was gonna celebrate with him. It’s only a matter of time before something changes, though, and The Kingdom turn on Kyle. And then awesome main event in the Six Man Tag. I do like that it was Shibata who finished things off for his team, as Bryan doesn’t get math up on Ospreay. But with Ospreay about to face/beat Hobbs this Wednesday, surely Bryan will need another match to win so he can keep up. Maybe Bryan faces a member of the Don Callis Family like Kyle Fletcher? After all, Ospreay beating Shibata was to be “anything you can do, I can do better,” so Bryan can beat Kyle like Ospreay did so that they’re even-even.
My Score: 8.9/10

AEW shares footage from after Dynamite.
Renee Paquette found Kris Statlander & Hikaru Shida returning backstage, and she tells them that they had an unfortunate loss in the tag match with Divine Dominion. Renee knows Kris missed out on making history with becoming the Triple Crown Champion, but then Shida says they almost had those tag belts! Shida doesn’t blame Kris, it wasn’t her fault. Kris gets mad and shoves Shida to the wall! Kris says of course it wasn’t her fault! It was Shida, because Shida didn’t listen, kicked Kris in the stomach for that suplex, and then kept tagging in! Shida apologizes but Kris says that’s enough out of her!
Kris was THIS close to making history, and Shida ruined everything! Shida apologizes again, and says they’ve been friends for almost seven YEARS! Shida promises to make this up to Kris. Kris storms off, but what can Shida do to keep that promise?
Six Man Tag: The Conglomeration VS MXM TV!
Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong are still the AEW World Trios Champions after facing yet another Don Callis Family formation, but now they’re preparing for Dynamite Double Jeopardy on Wednesday. Will facing Mansoor, Mason Madden & Johnny TV be more than enough to prepare Cassidy for Dax Harwood? Or will MXM TV finally have their own chance at the AEW World Trios titles?
The trios sort out and Kyle steps up against Mansoor. The bell rings, they circle, and Mansoor shows off his drop steps. He might also be mocking Kyle as he drops down and puts up a leg guard. The two circle, and Kyle KICKS Mansoor’s leg! Mansoor tags to Mason, and Mason also mocks Kyle with a kung-fu stance. Kyle just KICKS Mason’s leg! Mason shouts, “OW!” Mason tags Johnny and the fans cheer. Johnny and Kyle circle, Johnny avoids a kick and goes for the leg. Johnny cartwheels but Kyle KICKS him in the chest! Kyle puts Johnny in a corner, climbs up, and he rains down fists! The fans count along to TEN, then Roddy tags in.
Roddy climbs up and he rains down fists! The fans count along to TEN, then Roddy tags Cassidy. Cassidy climbs up, the fans cheer, but MXM YANK Kyle & Roddy down! Then Johnny sweeps the legs! No mercy in this dojo! Johnny fires hands on Cassidy while MXM mugs Kyle & Roddy! The ref reprimands, but Johnny TOSSES Cassidy out! Then MXM TV set up, and Johnny FLIES to wipe out Roddy & Kyle! The fans are torn, but MXM build speed, to then POSE! The fans cheer, especially as Cassidy rolls in and joins them! MXM shoves Cassidy, he ducks ‘n’ dodges, then he BOOTS Mansoor while he tilt-o-whirls!
Mason stops the DDT, throws Cassidy to Mansoor, LEG LARIAT GERMAN SUPLEX COMBO! Johnny is in, STARSHIP PAIN!! Cover, Kyle breaks it! MXM mugs Roddy & Kyle, then they TOSS them out. MXM TV drag Cassidy up, and Mason Electric Chair Lifts! But Kyle trips Johnny while Roddy saves Cassidy! Then they shove Mason into Mansoor! Mansoor lands bad on his catwalk, and Kyle FLYING KNEES Johnny on the outside! Mason runs up, he LARIATS Roddy, then he blocks the Orange Punch! DOUBLE CHOP for Cassidy! Roddy CHOPS, CHOPS, CHOPS! Roddy runs, slips around, and manages an ANGLE SLAM!
The fans fire up as Roddy gives Cassidy the boost, and he guzels Mason! But Mason breaks free! Roddy helps Cassidy dodge Mason, and Kyle DUMPS Mason out! Cassidy winds up and he ROCKS Mansoor! Then he guzels to SUPER CHOKE SLAM Mansoor onto Mason! Johnny is back, but Kyle KNEES! Then AX ‘N’ SMASH! Cassidy aims, but he has them bring Johnny closer. LAZY ELBOW! Cover, Conglomeration wins!
Winners: The Conglomeration, by pinfall
Cassidy, Kyle & Roddy proved they’re more than #TVReady, they’re fight ready! But will Cassidy earn himself and the team a shot at the tag titles? Or will Dax earn FTR & Ciampa a shot at the trios titles? Wait, speaking of, Tommaso Ciampa is here! The Psycho Killer stares The Conglomeration down, then grins. He says it is just a matter of time, but will he and FTR really become the Top Guys in both tag and trios divisions?
AEW TBS Championship: Willow Nightingale VS Anna Jay!
Hikaru Shida, Queen Aminata, and Kamille all tried and failed to take this title from the Babe with the Power, giving rise to the new nickname, “The Comeback Killer.” But will that still be true against The Queen Slayer? Or will Anna truly become the Star of the Show?

Willow hobbles up, Anna runs to ROLLING NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Willow toughs it out but goes to a corner. Anna storms up to stomp a mudhole into Willow, but stops as the ref counts.

Anna sure put up a fight, but Willow is 4-0 as the Comeback Killer! Willow helps Anna to her feet to show there is respect here, and they also hug it out. But will no one, no matter who they are or what they’ve been up to, dethrone the Face of TBS?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander, Hikaru Shida, Harley Cameron & Mina Shirakawa.
Renee Paquette is with all four women in a familiar situation, and thanks them all for accepting the No Physicality Agreement. Renee understands Shida has something to say. Shida says yes! Shida again says she is so sorry, Stat, and that she will make it up to her! That’s why Shida got Kris another tag match! But against THESE TWO! Harley acts surprised, and sarcastically asks if Shida is really allowing herself to wrestle someone not on her level. Can she even talk to someone “not” on her level or what? How does this work? Shida says enough, Harley! You don’t even deserve to touch the kendo stick! Shida then uses Japanese to hide her comments about Harley & Mina having nothing but bosoms.
Mina says enough! Stat, how can you still trust Shida? How can you give her another chance? And… Where was Kris the night Toni was attacked? Shida says enough about Toni! Harley tries to reason with Kris, but Kris storms off. So is that a yes to the match? Mina apologizes to Harley, Harley says she has no idea what to say, but will the Wild Aussie & Fighting Gravure Idol let their actions speak for them against #Shidalander?
Ace Austin & Juice Robinson VS Wheeler Yuta & Daniel Garcia!
The Bang Bang Gang has been struggling to stay afloat, and now they go up against The Death Riders’ Decoder & Dragon Slayer! Will Yuta & Garcia keep the momentum going from what Moxley and the others did earlier tonight? Or can these Collision Cowboys ride off into the Peoria sunset with a win?
Moxley joins commentary for this match, and he admits that 10 Man Tag was a tornado of a match, where you just hang out, pray, and trust your skills to see you through.

Yuta gets a cheap shot in while the ref holds Juice back. Garcia bumps Ace off buckles, but the ref backs him off. That lets Yuta DUMP Ace out, and Marina is again there to cause problems! Yuta puts Ace back in, high-fives and fist bumps Marina, and Garcia stands on Ace! The ref counts, Garcia counts along, and Collision goes to break.
Collision returns as the Death Riders continue to mug Ace. They shove him to the corner, then Garcia sends Yuta in for the BODY BLOCK! Garcia LARIATS, Yuta ELBOWS, repeat! The Cycle of Violence continues until Ace BOOTS Yuta and ELBOWS Garcia! The fans fire up as Ace hurries, but the Death Riders THROW him back! And they BLAST Juice together! Then they DOUBLE SHOTGUN Ace down! Marina & Moxley love it but they’re the only ones. Garcia reels Ace into a PERUVIAN NECKTIE! The fans boo, but Juice rises up.

The fans fire up for Juice, and he CROSSBODIES Garcia down! Juice talks trash on Moxley, but Garica throat chops him! Moxley says keep your eye on the ball. Yuta DIVES, but Juice uses Garcia as a shield! the fans cheer the friendly fire, and Jucie SMACKS Yuta off the desk! Yuta is busted right open! Juice fires up, the fans pump it up with him, and Juice JABS! JABS! JABS! “JUICE! JUICE! JUICE!” Garcia gets up, but he gets the LEFT HAND O’ GOD! Yuta runs up, but Juice JABS, JABS, JABS! Marina gets up, and Juice thinks about it. But Yuta rolls Juice up! TWO and Yuta bumps into Marina! The fans cheer as Juice then O’Conner Rolls, TWO!

Garcia BOOTS Ace, then DUMPS him out! Juice whips Yuta, but Yuta sunset flips! Rewind into Garcia’s PILEDRIVER!! Yuta goes up, Garcia positions Juice just right, FASTBALL SPECIAL!! Cover, TWO!!

Yuta fires up, he brings Juice around, but Juice hits the LEFT HAND O’ GOD! Then the JUICE BOX!! Cover, BANG BANG GANG WINS!
Winners: Ace Austin & Juice Robinson, by pinfall
Moxley is honestly stunned, but he admits that was good stuff. Saturday nights are alright for a fight, and Garcia CLOBBERS Juice! Yuta LOW BLOWS Ace!

But Marina saves The Maniac from a 3:10 to Yuma! Yuta runs in, he gets the 3:10 TO YUMA!!
The fans fire up as The Bang Bang Gang is now four men strong! Colten gets a mic to shout, “The Collision Cowboys are back, baby! This is OUR show! And if you’re not down with that, we’ve got two words for ya!” “GUNNS UP!!” Marina is pissed, but will The Death Riders settle this with Bang Bang Gang soon enough?
Backstage interview with The Divine Dominion.
Lexy Nair is with Megan Bayne & Lena Kross, and Megan says no, she’s not with them, she’s beneath them. Just like this entire Women’s Division. Lena says Divine Dominion just defeated Stat & Shida, two former world champions, and two of the best in this company. And yet they crumbled at Divine Dominion’s feet! What two other women even have a prayer? Can Lexy think of them? Wanna try? N-NO, absolutely not. Then the only hope this Women’s Division has is if the gods themselves take mercy on their souls and strike these two down. Otherwise, just stop trying. Megan & Lena have spoken, but will that challenge soon be matched?
Skye Blue VS Nixi XS!
The Chicago Skye looms dark over Peoria, especially after she and the Triangle of Madness misted Persephone full in the face just to cheat a win last week. But will Skye make sure to leave her opponent black ‘n’ blue tonight? Or will the Alien Girl shine through with neon colors?
The bell rings and Skye just BOOTS Nixi down! Then she scuffs Nixi, talks trash on her, and pie faces her around. Skye TOSSES Nixi out, then runs up, only for Nixi to BOOT her back!

Nixi slowly rises so Skye revels in the cheers a little more. Nixi ROCKS Skye, but Skye ROCKS her back! They brawl up top, but Skye slips under to tuck Nixi in! CHEEKY NANDOS! Then Skye gets under Nixi for a RUNNING POWERBOMB! Flip over and KNEE!! Cover, but Skye lets up! The fans re torn, but Skye shouts out Julia Hart with the dragon sleeper! She drops down, DESCENT INTO MADNESS! Nixi TAPS, Skye wins!
Winner: Skye Blue, by submission
Skye shows her arsenal is deepening, just like the darkness in her heart! Will all parts of the Triangle of Madness soon be shining with gold?
AEW TNT Championship: Kevin Knight VS Hook w/ The Opps!
The Jet used MJF’s own tricks against him to keep this title, and now he has his shot at Darby Allin’s AEW World Championship this Wednesday. But will Knight still be bringing this gold with him? Or will the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil finally make himself the Face of TNT?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see whose luggage will be a little heavier as they leave Illinois!
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Knight and Hook circle, tie up, and Hook slips around to waistlock. Hook picks a leg, trips Knight, then eggs him on. The fans boo but Knight brushes it off. Knight asks Shibata if he taught Hook that trick. Shibata ignores Knight, but Knight and Hook tie up again. Hook headlocks, wrenches, then wristlocks. Knight rolls, handsprings, and wrenches to snapmare. Knight drops a KNEE on the arm! Hook scrambles away but Knight calls to Shibata, saying he knows Shibata knows these tricks. Knight does squats like back in the dojo, and the two tie up again. Knight powers Hook back, Hook turns things around, and they go along ropes.
The ref counts as the two keep going around and around, then they return to center. Hook waistlocks, Knight switches, but Hook switches back. Knight wrenches, hammerlocks, and the fans rally.

Knight arm-drags Hook, then arm-drags again, but Hook avoids the dropkick! The fans boo as Hook scrambles to the corner.
Knight taunts Hook & Shibata, but Shibata coaches Hook up. Hook kicks low, ROCKS Knight, then fires body shots and backhands in the corner! Knight turns things around to return the body shots and forearms! Knight UPPERCUTS, the fans fire up, but Hook avoids the haymaker! Hook fires more body shots, then a HEADBUTT! Hook wobbles, too, but he still soaks up heat from the fans. Hook stalks Knight to a corner, brings him around to whip, but Knight grabs ropes to stop. Knight DUMPS Hook out, then DROPKICKS him down! Shibata coaches Hook, Knight aims to PLANCHA, but Hook dodges!
Shibata stands in the way, Knight asks what’s up, but Shibata runs up! Knight dodges, goes up the steps, but Hook dodges that! EXPLODER into the fans! The other fans cheer as Knight is down, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Hook soaks up more heat as he swaggers around the way, but the ref checks Knight. Knight rises up but the ref has Hook stay back. That just lets Shibata DUMP Knight to ringside! And even stomp him! Hook argues with the ref as a further distraction so Shibata can stand Knight up. Hook KNEES Knight, then whips him hard into railing! Hook CLUBS Knight, soaks up heat, then goes to the ring. Hook argues with the ref more, but that lets Shibata line up a shot! Shibata BOOTS Knight into the crowd! The fans cheer again, they don’t mind Collision being interactive.

Knight fights around, reaches out, then fires body shots! Collision returns to single picture as the fans rally. Knight fires shots, Hook shoves, but Knight returns! STAELLITE- NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, TWO! Knight survives and Hook is furious!

Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
Hook tried to take this title, even had Shibata-sensei there to tip the scales, but it just wasn’t enough to stop The Jet from taking off! But will Knight soon make himself a double champion? Or will Darby Allin’s relentless reign not stop just yet?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision to follow a great Dynamite, but naturally status quo is kept with all these title matches. I liked the Jurassic Express National Tour vignette, and that was an awesome match in Jack VS Dorada. Anna Jay also looked great in her return, but of course Willow wins to keep the TBS title. Good promo from after Dynamite with Kris being rightfully angry with Shida, and good promo from #Shidalander with Harley & Mina. I feel like they can do a two-in-one, where Shidalander falls apart to set up their feud, while also giving Harley & Mina reason to become a team to help bolster the Women’s Tag Division.
Speaking of, very good promo from Divine Dominion to address how they’re dominating the division. There are only so many teams in the tag division so we need an influx of more, maybe have some crossover with Stardom and CMLL real quick, really spice things up as we get closer to Forbidden Door. Skye Blue of course won, and pretty dominantly at that. I can’t tell if Julia Hart is resting from an injury or what but she wasn’t even ringside for Skye, hopefully things are alright. Very fun trios match from Conglomeration VS MXM TV, great win for Conglomeration, but AEW needs to figure out more trios. Putting Ciampa with FTR is still a great team, but they gotta get longer running teams going, like LFI or maybe even Shane Taylor Promotions.
Awesome stuff with that 10 Man Tag, so wild and chaotic in a good way, but I figured Death Riders & Dogs would win. The Dogs need to stay afloat without Gabe Kidd as their anchor, and there’s the whole story with Ospreay that Death Riders need to stay strong for. Great tag match from Yuta & Garcia VS Ace & Juice, too, and great win for Bang Bang Gang. Especially with a return from Austin & Colten Gunn, because now we can get Bang Bang Gang VS Death Riders in an 8 Man Tag, someone going after the Continental Championship for it, who knows what else. For that matter, Bang Bang Gang needs to get back in those tag and trios divisions to at least bolster the ranks.
And great main event with the TNT Championship. Hook looked good for most of this, but the German Suplex was a bit janky. Thankfully, Knight is so tall and athletic that he made himself look even cooler in his escape. Knight of course won, mostly because it is more exciting if he has a chance of becoming Jet Two Belts. He won’t, because Darby and MJF are still building towards their rematch for Double or Nothing, but Knight will look awesome again. If anything, Knight VS Shibata should be the TNT title match for Double or Nothing, that’s a great story of student and teacher they can easily reference in the build.
My Score: 8.9/10

AEW TNT Championship: Kevin Knight VS MJF!
The Jet called out The Scumbag for sneaking away with a win when they battled for the AEW World Championship, and wants to prove that this title is for truly the best wrestlers! But will Knight be #2Fly2Stop? Or will Maxwell Jacob Friedman look to put more gold on his resumé?
The introductions are made, and MJF makes sure Justin Roberts says, “He doesn’t hail from a white trash state like Virginia…” The belt is raised, and we see who is truly the Face of TNT!
The bell rings and the fans fire up already. The two step up, but MJF kicks low! MJF TOSSES Knight out, then hurries to THROW Knight into the steel steps! Then he whips Knight hard into the railing! Knight writhes, the fans boo, but MJF soaks up heat. MJF talks trash as he reels Knight in, lift shim up, and BARRIER BOMBS him! The fans boo but MJF takes the camera to film while he scuffs Knight. “He’s a nobody!” MJF puts Knight in the ring, tells fans to shut up, and he pushes Knight to a cover, ONE!! Knight toughs it out but MJF clamps on tight. The fans rally as Knight endures and fights around. Knight rises, fires body shots, then runs.
Knight ducks ‘n’ dodges to springboard and CROSSBODY! Knight keeps moving, ducks ‘n’ dodges more, but MJF ELBOWS Knight down! The fans boo but MJF drags Knight up again for a back suplex.

The fans fire up for the MOTHERSHIP SPLASH!! But Knight can’t make the pin from how he landed so hard! Knight crawls his way back to cover, TWO!!

But Knight LOW BLOWS MJF first!! Knight cradles, KNIGHT WINS!
Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall
MJF is absolutely shocked! He got outsmarted! He got beat at his own dirty game! But then MJF CHOP BLOCKS Knight! The sore loser then scares the ref off before he winds up with that diamond ring. But wait! DARBY ALLIN literally drops in from the ceiling! Darby unhooks himself from the harness, then storms into the ring to dragon sleeper MJF! SCORPION DEATH DROP!! Darby makes sure justice is served, and the fans cheer him on as he gets a mic. MJF also gets a mic, and MJF says, “You people suck! Darby, real typical. Two peas in a pod! Two low life cheaters getting along, huh?!”
But joke’s on you! MJF doesn’t care about Knight, this match doesn’t count, he was barely trying! The fans laugh given how MJF’s red, sweaty and gasping for air. But MJF says what he cares about is HIS Triple B, HIS AEW World Championship! The fans boo but MJF says shut up! MJF wants his rematch! Darby paces, but the fans already chant “NO! NO! NO!” Darby also says, “NO! I’m not giving you that rematch until you put something on the line! And if I survive tonight with Brody King, I think I know exactly who deserves a shot next week.” MJF says MJF, but Darby looks to The Jet. The fans cheer but MJF says don’t even think about it!
But Darby indeed says, it will be Kevin Knight! The fans cheer, but then BRODY KING shows up! The King of Death stares The Devil down, then moves past him to join Darby and Knight in the ring. Brody and Darby stare down, then Brody says, “I have some bad news for you, Darby, cuz you’re not gonna survive tonight! And Jet, I got even worse news for you. Next week, you’re not gonna be facing Darby Allin. You’re gonna be facing the NEW AEW World Champion! ROOF!” The fans cheer that, and Brody returns backstage. The main event is gonna be wild, but who carries the title into next Wednesday?
Backstage interview with Adam Copeland & Christian Cage.
Renee Paquette is with The Rated R Superstar and Captain Charisma, and notes that Cage has a fractured arm, how is he feeling? Cage says his arm feels fine, don’t worry about the arm. Then they also have to address FTR upping the ante on their New York Street Fight by making it part I Quit match. Do they accept? Cage says, “We accept!” Cope says that’s a bit quick given Cage’s history with I Quit matches in AEW. Just saying… Cage says if he’s told you once, he’s told you a thousand times, he never said those words! He didn’t! Cage storms off, Cope says he totally did. But neither of them will say it again. Will C&C be more than ready to make the Top Guys give up?
The Brawling Birds VS Emily Jaye & Jordan Blade!
Jamie Hayter may have missed a week, but she’s back to 100% and ready to pick up where she left off. But will she and Alex Windsor be able to bounce back from losing to Thekla back to back? Or will they get caught off guard by Lady Stunner & The Ankle Breaker?
The teams sort out and Jamie steps to Jordan. They circle as the fans rally, then Jamie blocks a kick to ROCK Jordan! Then she BLASTS Emily just because before she BOOTS Jordan! Jamie bumps Jordan off buckles, DOUBLE CHOPS, then tags Alex. Alex DOUBLE CHOPS, then she tags Jamie! Another DOUBLE CHOP, and then tag back to Alex for a DOUBLE CHOP! Jamie tags back in, The Birds wind up, but Emily runs in! The Birds DOUBLE ELBOW Emily before they DOUBLE DOUBLE CHOP Jordan! Jamie then hauls Jordan up to snap suplex! SLIDING LARIAT and then ground ‘n’ pound! Jamie brings Jordan up, Windsor joins in, DOUBLE HEADBUTTS!
Then they set up, The Birds DOUBLE LARIAT SANDWICH! Jordan sputters, right into TWO BIRDS ONE STONE! Cover, The Brawling Birds win!
Winners: The Brawling Birds, by pinfall
Yep, it’s like Jamie wasn’t even out a week! But will they make sure to settle the score with The Triangle of Madness on the road to Double or Nothing?
The Triangle of Madness speaks.
Thekla says everybody says Thekla, why do you always call people “dumb b*tches?” Thekla would love to stop calling people dumb b*tches, but there are just too many dumb b*tches in AEW! Skye Blue adds that what happened on Collision to Persephone was entirely The Birds’ fault. But getting mist in the face was the best thing to ever happen to Skye, so maybe it opens Perse’s eyes, too. So what happened to Jamie & Alex? They’re supposed to be the big bad Brawling Birds, but they just can’t seem to handle a little ol’ Toxic Spider. Thekla’s advice is to stick with the tag team, because when it is 1v1, Thekla is everything, and they are nothing!
The AEW Women’s World Champion continues to be confident in her toxic dominance, but will someone come along and figure out how to wipe this spider out?
AEW International Championship: Kazuchika Okada w/ Don Callis VS Ace Austin w/ Juice Robinson!
While The Rainmaker wants his fight with The Alpha, Konosuke Takeshita, he still has a duty to defend this title. Will Okada prove what a real champion looks like? Or will The Inevitable make him Fold?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who wins this gamble!
The bell rings and Callis admits, Ace has impressive quads. Too bad his hometown of Atlantic City is a dump. The fans tell off Callis even though he’s just on commentary, and the two tie up. Ace and Okada push each other back and forth, but Okada’s height becomes his leverage. Okada has Ace in a corner, but the ref counts. Okada lets off, then fakes the chop.

But then Ace DROPKICKS Okada again, then PLANCHAS! Okada avoids the impact, kicks low, and DDTS to the floor! Ace writhes and Okada grins while the fans applaud. The ref checks Ace while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Okada “apologizes” to the ref, then drags Ace up. Okada RAMS Ace into the railing! The ref reprimands, Okada rolls into the ring, but only to refresh the count. Okada then RAMS Ace into more railing! Ace drops to his knees, Okada offers a high-five, and a young fan returns it. The fans applaud that, then Okada offers one to Callis. They high-five, cheapening the moment. Okada puts Ace in the ring, Ace checks his head, but Okada brings him up. Okada bumps Ace hard off buckles! Okada slaps Ace around, then stands him up to whip hard into buckles again! Ace falls back, checking his mouth, but his mouthguard did its part to protect his teeth.
Okada stands Ace up but Ace fires a body shot! And a CHOP! Ace then lifts Okada, but Okada fights free to kick and DDT! Okada pushes Ace over to the cover, TWO! Ace is tougher than that but Okada brushes it off. Okada paces, sneaks a middle finger at the fans, then scuffs Ace. Okada kicks Ace around while Dynamite returns to single picture. Ace stands but Okada Alabama Lifts, tucks, and REVERSE NECKBREAKERS! The fans rally as Okada brings Ace up again. Okada scoops to SLAM Ace in the drop zone! Standard formula says Okada goes up, and he aims for the MACHO ELBOW! Direct hit, and Okada winds up… The Rainmaker Middle Finger!
Okada drags Ace up, wristlocks, but Ace fights the ripcord! They run around and tumble out of the ring! The fans rally up as Ace is on the apron. Okada stands, but he blocks Ace’s Penalty Kick! Okada THROWS Ace, Ace handstands again! Ace then handsprings over the sweep! PENALTY KICK! The fans fire up as Okada staggers around the way. Ace builds speed to FOSBURY FLOP!

Okada snarls, gut wrenches, and TOMBSTONES!! Okada roars because he’s not done! Okada ripcords for THE RAINMAKER!! Cover, Okada wins!
Winner: Kazuchika Okada, by pinfall (still AEW International Champion)
Ace was so close to the jackpot, but Okada isn’t one of the best ever for nothing! Mark Davis congratulates his Don Callis Family brother, while Callis himself SMOTHERS Ace for pushing Okada this far! Juice Robinson scares Callis off, but then wait! Konosuke Takeshita is here! The Alpha stares down Okada, and signals that he’s taking that title. Will Takeshita avenge himself for that Continental Classic controversy? Or will no one dry up the reign?
A country town is in chaos!
They’re all running away from the saloon as someone is putting the hurt on everybody. This man then picks up a wanted poster, the bounty for The Most Wanted, Bandido. And that man… is Swerve Strickland! Prince Nana hands Swerve his lighter, and Swerve burns the bounty. Is The Outlaw about to enter Swerve’s House, and never return?
The Death Riders speak.
While Marina Shafir grapples with Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia says, “This is who we are, and this is how we train. You don’t get to be the best out there until you’re the best in here first.” But then look who walks in! Will Ospreay is here, and Jon Moxley says he has arrived! Did Ospreay get cleared? Nope. Might as well say it now, though: Ospreay is going to Japan, he and the Empire boys have a big title match, and then we’ll see. Moxley says, “Loyalty. You are too good to be true.” Moxley looks to Pac, kinda pokes at him, then says first thing’s first: Moxley needs Ospreay to drop everything.
Everything up here in the mind. The clouds, the vision, the thing that makes you see things up there. Then everything in the heart. The tugs, the pulls. And then everything in the gut, the anger that burns a hole. Drop it all. Excess baggage, they don’t need it. The feelings Ospreay has about Moxley, drop ’em. They don’t need excess baggage. Moxley makes no promises, he is not a miracle worker. But when Moxley makes a commitment to something, he sees it through all the way to the end. All he asks is the same in return. Ospreay nods and says okay. Moxley says beautiful! Ospreay and Pac stare down, but they leave it at that.
Ospreay asks where’s the ring. Moxley says they don’t need a ring. They’re starting from the ground up. The rest is proprietary, so sorry. Moxley pushes the cameraman out of the room, and now the real work begins. Will, or rather, can Ospreay survive the Death Rider dungeon and come out a stronger wrestler on the other side?
FTR is here!
Fairfax boos as the AEW World Tag Team Champions and #BigStoke make their way to ringside, but to sit by commentary so they can watch this next match.
Adam Copeland & Christian Cage VS Roppongi Vice!
While C&C want revenge on FTR so badly, they’re willing to stake their career as a team on it, this is to settle a different score! Will this tag team that reeks of awesomeness bring down Rocky Romero & Trent Beretta? Or will tonight belong to Azucar & #JustTrent?
The teams sort out and Cage starts against Rocky. The fans rally while Cage keeps that bad arm away from Rocky. They tie up, Rocky wrenches the bad arm, then wristlocks.

Winners: Adam Copeland & Christian Cage, by pinfall
They may be less than 100% physically, but they’re still 100% mentally! As for emotionally, Cage grabs a chair and brings it into the ring. Given the role RPG Vice played in Cage’s arm injury, he SNAPS the crossbar of the chair off, and he hands it to Cope! Bent as it is, Cope uses it to GAG Trent! TORONTO SMILE!! Cage grabs a mic and he asks Trent, “Do you know what to say?! Say it!” Trent shouts, but the crossbar is kinda muddying it into “I qwimt!” They take the bar out and Cage asks again. Trent shouts, “I QUIT! I QUIT!” Cope lets Trent go and the fans cheer. Cage says, “I will never say ‘I quit,’ you little b*tch.”
Cope & Christian have their payback on RPG Vice, but now it will be a matter of getting their revenge on FTR. Will Cash & Dax prove they’re truly the best tag team of all time? Or will they have to admit defeat in the worst way possible?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
Renee Paquette is with Y2J and brings up that this is twice now that Ricochet has defeated him with the “Ricosault.” Does Jericho think there is any validity that this Ricosault is an improvement on the Lionsault? Jericho says what he does think is that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But he’s not really flattered right now, he’s more pissed off. But here’s the thing, Ricochet has obviously been following Jericho’s career very closely. But not close enough because if he was- THE DEMAND ATTACKS! Ricochet, Kaun & Liona beat Jericho down 3v1, then get him up to his knees. Ricochet asks if this is what Jericho wanted. Is this what Jericho thought this would be in his big return to AEW?!
No more jokes, no more games, no more subliminal messages! Ricochet told Jericho to leave or get hurt! Look at him! What do you gotta say?! Is this what you wanted?! Jericho says, “Eat s*it, bald!” Ricochet HAMMERS away on Jericho, then RIPS the shirt away! Then The Gates of Agony THROW Jericho into a road case! Ricochet says that’s what you get! Then Ricochet uses the case to backflip over Jericho, and says, “You’re not even worth it. AHA~!” The Demand leaves Jericho down and out, but will they be the ones to kick him out of AEW?

Lena ducks a kick to ROCK Kris! Lena whips, Kris goes up, but Megan traps her! Lena YANKS Kris down, then tags Megan! Lena forearm SMASHES, then ELBOWS Kris! Lena runs side to side, and so does Megan! BOOT follows BOOT, then Megan GERMAN SUPLEXES! Cover, TWO!! Kris survives and the fans fire up! Megan drags Kris up, ROCKS her, then whips her. Kris reverses, Lena tags in, but Kris goes Matrix to avoid Megan’s flying lariat! Kris kips up, but into Lena’s SUPERKICK!
Shida runs up to ROUNDHOUSE Lena! SHOTGUN BOOT from Megan to Shida! Kris BLUE THUNDER BOMBS Megan! Then she ROUNDHOUSES Lena! The fans fire up as Divine Dominion is stacked on top of each other, and Kris climbs a corner! Kris aims to 450 SPLASH!! Two for one on the impact and Kris hurries to cover Lena, TWO?!? Kris is stunned but Lena is dazed. Kris hauls Lena up, but Shida tags herself in! Kris is upset but she SLAMS Lena down for Shida to METEORA! Then the FALCON ARROW!! Cover, TWO?!? Lena survives again and now Shida is shocked! Shida aims for the KATA- NO, Megan intercepts with a BELLY2BELLY!
But Kris SUPERKICKS Megan! Lena waistlocks Kris, Kris switches, but Lean switches back. Megan returns, BOOT GERMAN SUPLEX COMBO! Then they get Shida up, DIVINE INTERVENTION!! Cover, Divine Dominion wins!
Winners: Divine Dominion, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions)
Granted, Shida went a bit rogue changing things on Kris there, but it’s hard to deny that Megan & Lena have the stats to reign forever and ever! Will no one, no matter who they are or what they’ve done, ever dethrone Divine Dominion?
Programming note for next week!
Wednesday, May 6th, North Charleston, South Carolina is in for a treat! They don’t just get AEW Dynamite, they get AEW Collision as a THREE HOUR COMBO! All live on TBS and HBO Max, make sure you schedule accordingly so you don’t miss a minute of the action!
Backstage interview with The Don Callis Family.
Renee Paquette is now with The Jackal himself, as well as Andrade El Idolo, and speaks to the incredible tear- MJF steps in and says, “No, no, no, Renee, I’m sorry, incredible tear? Here’s what you have done. You have ruined this company! Thanks to you, Darby Allin is on a reign of terror!” Andrade says okay, how you know? W-what? How does MJF know? Because Darby is world champion, that’s how! How you know? Because Don told MJF that Andrade lost his contender’s match! How you know? Because MJF saw it later with his own two eyes! Andrade again asks, “How you know?” Andrade smiles, and MJF says (sarcastically) that Andrade’s real funny.
MJF then shoves Andrade! Callis steps in and has them stop. Andrade is Callis’ money man. MJF is THE money man! Business is business. MJF doesn’t have a belt, there’s no reason for Andrade to fight MJF. And MJF, you need to get that belt back! They’re all better off when MJF is on top! So let’s just focus on business, guys. Okay? Just this once? MJF storms off one way, Andrade the other, and Callis says, “Wild horses, they’re gonna run. What’re you gonna do?” Callis follows Andrade, but will The Real Latino Man accept this truce with The Scumbag?
Rush VS Steven Fuerte!
From wild horses to El Toro Blanco, Rush has certainly been on a stampede since returning from injury. However, he is only getting hungrier and hungrier for gold around his waist. Will that stampede finally lead him to opportunities at Double or Nothing? Or will he have to make due with an appetizer?
The bell rings and Fuerte offers a handshake. Rush DECKS Fuerte instead! Fuerte tumbles out of the ring, Rush goes out after him, and Rush THROWS Fuerte into barriers! The fans fire up as Rush then THROWS Fuerte back into barriers, then stomps away! The ref counts but Rush fires body shots! Rush SMACKS Fuerte off the barriers, then snarls as he drags Fuerte back up. Rush puts Fuerte in the ring, watches him flounder to the corner, and he CHOPS! Fuertes falls, Rush puts him in the corner, then rains down forearms! The ref counts, especially as Rush stomps away! The ref backs Rush down, and Rush just pumps it up!
The fans chant for “RUSH! RUSH! RUSH!” Rush goes corner to corner, “You mess with the bull…! You get the horns!!”” BULL’S HORNS! Cover, Rush wins!
Winner: Rush, by pinfall
Rush made quick work of this one, then he grabs the mic to say cut his music, but in Espanol. Rush continues by saying that he is done with all these dogs! He is Rush, and remember! When you mess with the bull… You get the HORNS! Who else will be trampled under El Toro Blanco as he hunts after gold?
Backstage interview with The Opps.
Renee Paquette is now with Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata, Hook, and newest member, Anthony Bowens. Renee says Joe is back, looked great back in action, but what is the game plan moving forward? Joe says, “Game plan… Maybe a declaration of intent. Well, it is simple. The Opps, we intend to reassert our dominance here in AEW. How do we plan to do that? I’ll tell you. We plan to do it with men like Katsuyori Shibata, fury made flesh, a man who is kind enough to put on a kick pad so he doesn’t cave in your head when he kicks your skull off.
“We’re gonna do that with men like Anthony Bowens, multiple time world tag team champion here in AEW. A man who has been undervalued, underappreciated, and most importantly, underestimated. And you will see the best version of him now in The Opps. Then we come to Hook, a man who intends to become the new King of Television when he captures the TNT Championship this weekend on Collision. But more importantly, our reign to the top, it includes strategic acquisition. And that brings me to you, Will Ospreay. Y’see, Will, I hope and I pray that you’re not suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.
“Because those boys in the Death Riders, they had you in the very same position that they saved you from not too long ago, and you know who came and took you out of that? We did, Will. We had your back. So you have to ask yourself, what kind of relationship do you want? Do you want one of convenience? Or one of confidence? Because The Opps are here, and the choice is yours.” That is quite the offer from the Samoan Submission Specialist. But will Ospreay change sides now that he’s already started down the road with the Death Riders? Or will he help The Opps get back on top?
FTR speaks.
Dynamite returns as #BigStoke informs us he just spoke with Tony Khan. Orange Cassidy, they have an “interesting proposition.” Next week, Dynamite Double Jeopardy! Cassidy goes 1v1 with Dax the Ax, and IF Cassidy wins, he and any member of The Conglomeration can challenge for the AEW World Tag Team Championships! But WHEN Dax wins, FTR gets the shot at the AEW World Trios Championships! And Stoke knows ol’ OC is begging for Stoke to get in the ring so they can be face to face, but guess what? That is not gonna happen. Stoke thinks they have a pretty good third partner, and it is the man who took Darby to his limit.
In steps Tommaso Ciampa! The Psycho Killer says last time he and FTR teamed up, if he remembers correctly, Ciampa shelfed Mark Briscoe indefinitely. This time, they take them trios titles. Ciampa picks the popcorn crumb from Stokely’s beard, and says, “Top Guys out.” Ciampa eats the crumb, then waves goodbye. Will these three truly be a dangerous combination? Or can Freshly Squeezed earn himself and… someone… another title opportunity?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
On top of Hook challenging The Jet for the TNT Championship, we will see The Death Riders & The Dogs team up again, but against the combination of The Rascalz & Top Flight! Another 10 Man Tag, but which side comes out on top? Then there’s more gold on the line in Peoria, Illinois, as “Jungle” Jack Perry defends the AEW National Championship against Mascara Dorada! Will the King of the Ropes add more gold to the collection? Or will Jack Perry continue to live his best Tarzan Life? Then the Bang Bang Gang hopes to rebound from Ace’s loss tonight as they go 2v2 with Daniel Garcia & Wheeler Yuta! Will Juice & Ace win big? Or will The Death Riders dominate the night?
And lastly, “Comeback Killer” Willow Nightingale put out the challenge last week and it has been answered! Anna Jay returns to action, and she challenges for the AEW TBS Championship! Will Anna truly be the Star of the Show? Or will the Babe with the Power overpower The Queenslayer?
AEW World Championship: Darby Allin VS Brody King!
The Relentless One promised to be a fighting champion, and so far that is mission accomplished. But he also promised that Kevin Knight gets the next shot next week! Will Darby continue to keep his promises? Or will the King of Death throw those plans for a loop?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we add another chapter to this storied and brutal rivalry!
The bell rings and the fans are fired up already. The rivals step up, shake hands, then back up, only for Darby to SHOTGUN Brody! Darby fires off fists, Brody shove him away, but Darby comes back with fists! Darby springboards, but into a CHOP! Darby is stinging but Brody clamps on a SLEEPER! Darby grab ropes, the ref counts, but then Brody SLAPS Darby’s hands down to GERMAN SUPLEX him away! Darby tumbles all the way to the corner, and Brody roars as he runs! CANNONBALL! Brody hauls Darby up, Canadian Racks, but Darby fights free! Darby goes to another corner, and he BOOTS Brody away!
Darby goes up but Brody CHOPS! Brody climbs, Darby CLUBS away, and Darby hops on for a SUPER CODE RED! Cover, TWO!! Brody survives and bails out while the fans fire up. Darby snarls, builds speed, and DIVES! But he just bounces off of Brody’s body?!? Even Darby has to smile about that, that was wild! Brody drags Darby up and CHOPS him! Darby staggers around the way but Brody follows. Brody brings Darby up, CHOPS him again, and he grabs a chair! The ref reprimands but Brody tells fans to move aside. Brody sits the chair up, makes Darby take a seat, and CHOPS him for good measure. Brody barks, fans join in, and Brody runs up!
But Darby trips Brody and Brody hits the chair! The fans rally as Darby hurries to take that chair for his own. Darby sets it up, brings Brody up, and Darby makes Brody take a seat. Darby fires forearms, CLAWS Brody’s back, then he climbs up the corner! The fans fire up because they know this means SUPER MISSILE DROPKICK! Direct hit on Brody but Darby also writhes from that landing! The fans are thunderous while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref checks Darby but he insists he’s okay. Brody is okay to continue, as well, and both men slowly sit up. Darby hobbles and rolls into the ring, followed by Brody. They slowly stand, and Darby hobbles over to fire forearm after forearm! Brody DECKS Darby with just one! Brody leans on the ropes while he catches his breath, and Darby slowly sits back up. Brody brings Darby around to CHOP him back down! Darby sputters but Brody drags him back up. Brody ROCKS Darby, whips corner to corner hard, and Darby falls to the mat! Brody storms over to Darby, stands him up, and scoops for a SLAM! Cover, TWO!
Brody stays on Darby with another scoop and SLAM! Another cover, TWO! Darby toughs it out and Brody grows frustrated. Brody drags Darby up again, scoops and SLAMS again, then covers, TWO!! Darby continues to survive, and now Brody is oddly amused. Brody looms over Darby, but Darby fires shots at the legs. Brody CHOPS Darby down! Then SENTONS onto Darby! Darby sputters and clutches his leg, it was trapped under him when the senton hit! Brody shrugs, not his fault. Brody looms over Darby but Darby crawls away. Brody stalks Darby, brings him up, and Dynamite returns to single picture for the lift. Darby GUILLOTINE FACELOCKS to counter!
Brody puts Darby on the ropes, fires body shots, and then he CHOPS Darby down! Darby hits apron before he hits floor! The fans rally and bark while Brody argues with the ref. Brody goes out after Darby, drags him up, and CHOKE SLAMS him on the apron! Brody says this is what Darby wanted, so he clears the desk! The fans cheer, and Brody even puts the desk lid off to the side. Brody paces, and watching from the skybox, it’s Kevin Knight. The TNT Champion is facing one of these two next week, so naturally he wants to watch with his own eyes. But then Darby JUMPS on Brody’s back! Darby has a SLEEPER!
Darby squeezes tight, but Brody stays on his feet! Brody runs with Darby as a backpack, CANNOBNALL down through the desk hood!! Fairfax loses their minds as both men are down in the wreckage! We get a quick look backstage to see MJF is watching this, too. The ref checks and both men are able to continue. Brody is up first and he drags Darby around. Brody scoops but Darby fights free! Darby SHOVES Brody into the desk! That corner edge gets Brody right in the stomach! Darby hurries to finish clearing the desk, and he throws hands on Brody! And even SLAPS, SLAPS, SLAPS! Brody SLAPS back!
Darby sputters on the desk, and now Brody climbs up to join him! The fans go nuts as Brody reels Darby in. Darby fires body shots and shots on the legs, but Brody CHOPS Darby! SLEEPER!! Brody dangles Darby like he has before, but Darby CLAWS Brody’s eyes! Brody lets go, Darby hurries back up, CODE RED ON THE DESK! The desk does not break, but both men might be busted up from that landing! The fans lose their minds all the same while the ref checks both men. Darby is up and in the ring, sore as he is, but Brody rises. Darby shakes out the bad leg, builds speed, and he DIVES! Direct hit and they hit the desk again!
The fans fire up while both men are down! Darby sits up, then manages to hobble his way over. Brody follows, they roll into the ring, and Darby goes up the corner! But Brody trips Darby up, then CHOPS him into the Tree of Woe! Brody then sits Darby up, just so he can CHOP Darby again! Brody barks as he storms around, and then he runs up to CANNONBALL!! Darby sputters but Brody drags him up, just to short arm LARIAT him back down! Cover, TWO!! Darby survives and shocks Brody! Brody hauls Darby right up, runs, CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL!! Cover, TWO!!! Darby survives again and Brody is beside himself!
The fans are thunderous for Darby as he sits up in a daze. Brody shakes his head, unsure how Darby is still doing this. Brody YANKS Darby up, runs up, but Darby dodges the splash! Brody sputters from hitting buckles, and Darby CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS again! Darby HEADBUTTS Brody, but that just pisses Brody off! Brody THROWS Darby onto a cameraman!! The camera is fine but Darby writhes on the ground! Brody storms out after Darby, grabs him by the legs, but Darby claws at the floor mat! The mat is pulled up as Brody drags Darby along! The fans fire up as the camera seems to be along for the ride!
Darby kicks at Brody, kicks free, then hurries to his feet. Brody CHOPS Darby and Darby staggers away. The fans rally and bark, and Brody runs up for a CANNONBALL THROUGH RAILING!! But Darby narrowly avoids that human car wreck!! The fans go nuts as Darby hurries to finish pulling up floor mats! Darby has exposed a good portion of concrete, but he makes sure to roll into the ring to stop the count. Brody storms back up on Darby, but Darby BITES Brody’s hands! The ref reprimands but Brody ROCKS Darby! Brody reels Darby in, and he looks to the floor! The fans freak out but Darby fights the suplex!
Darby SLAPS Brody’s hands, then slides under! SUNSET BOMB on bare concrete!! The fans go nuts again, but Darby isn’t done! Darby climbs, aims, and SUPER COFFIN DROP!!! Direct hit, and a solid one at that! The ring count climbs again, and Darby rolls in at 4 of 10. Brody is down at 6, but he rises at 7! Brody stands at 9, and he lunges in at 9.9! Only for Darby to COFFIN DROP again!! Then COFFIN DROP again!! Cover, DARBY WINS!!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Championship)
This newest chapter might’ve been their greatest, if not CRAZIEST, one yet! And in the end, Darby’s relentless nature carries him through again! Knight nods, knowing exactly what to expect for next week. But will Knight make it through the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil on Collision to then bring that TNT Championship to the dance? As for Brody, he and Darby shake hands as great rivals and friends. Darby makes sure to look at Knight up in the skybox, will Darby be able to survive his own reign going this hard week after week?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Dynamite that they really stacked with title matches. But at the same time, status quo kept and all in awesome ways. Honestly, part of me is surprised that Knight retained against MJF, because of the “Double or Nothing” idea of Darby VS MJF, title for title. But at the same time, maybe Darby is going to make MJF put up his ability to challenge for the world title, same as in MJF VS Hangman. Great win for Knight all the same, and he’ll have a very good match against Hook on Collision, and against Darby Allin next week. Darby VS Brody was an awesome main event, like PPV quality, holy crap, but great win for Darby.
MJF had a great promo with Callis & Andrade to further that feud and its slow burn. I would think that win, lose or draw with Darby, MJF will feud with Andrade for the summer. A great match for Ace Austin against Okada, but again, of course Okada won out so he and Takeshita will still have their title match. Great promo from Thekla & Skye to call out Brawling Birds, and Brawling Birds of course win their match tonight. I still wanna see that Triple Threat of Thekla VS Windsor VS Persephone with someone becoming a double champion, but it feels like it might be Thekla VS Windsor VS Hayter just so Thekla obviously gets away with a win.
Great women’s tag title match, #Shidalander getting their best showing yet, obviously. But given the story they’re building, of course Shidalander loses. Divine Dominion VS Brawling Birds definitely needs to happen for All In London, so all these other matches are just biding time on that. Rush continues to bide his time, but between the TNT Championship and the National Championship, Rush needs to get one of those to vindicate himself here in AEW. Great tag match from C&C VS RPG Vice, but also a great appearance by Conglomeration to go after FTR. They’re already building that story even before Double or Nothing, which is clunky, but I like the idea of the Double Jeopardy. Though, with that, FTR & Ciampa are definitely getting their match for the trios titles.
And great stuff in this story of Will Ospreay’s recovery. Great promo from Ospreay with the Death Riders, but then The Opps just jump in and want to recruit him now? That’s weird. I suppose there is still good continuity here, because Face Opps did fight against Heel Death Riders, and so the factions are double-turning and the feud is continuing. I am pretty sure Ospreay sticks to Death Riders in this, and there’s still so much missed opportunity not having Max Caster as part of Bowens’ story with The Opps. But hey, if it gives us Ospreay VS Shibata and Ospreay VS Joe through such a feud, who am I to question it?
My Score: 9.1/10
